Hello, I volunteer in Montgomery County, MD for my local fire dept. I know in Montgomery County there is a digital trunking system and that the BC346XT is not a digital scanner. I know that 7A (Dispatch) 154.160 and 7B (Ops) 153.950 are being simulcast so that you do not need a digital scanner to listen to those channels. But I would also like to know if with the Fire Tone Out feature on the BC346XT would work with the following:
