Help me understand the G5
I just came across this device and think it will help me with the problems I have encountered with the RadioShack Pro-668 SCAN. I simply don’t get all the transmissions anymore.
Moving on, I like everything about the G5 from durability, size, testimonials, etc. and with hurricane season approaching I certainly want to have something that will keep me in the loop if something comes my way.
The county I live in is currently migrating from a Motorola Type II SmartZone to a “P25” system. Ill be honest I don’t understand a lot about digital vs analog theory, but I do have a basic understanding of trunking, repeaters, conventional, and TGIDs.
My question is, why would a G5 not work with a smartzone system that is transmitting digital/analog signals? Isn’t p25 just a public standard as I read, rather than a type of transmission/technology in itself? P25 signals still transmit along the same frequencies, don’t they? if anything it would seem to me that if something is capable of receiving P25 it can handle anything less than that standard, is this correct?
Forgive me if mistaking, I made a reasonable effort to figure this out.
