Question for someone new to a digital ft5dr. I use this radio for police/fire frequencies and know this is digital unlike my wouxun analog radio. Can I receive digital p25 phase 1 frequencies on this radio? Thanks

Negative!! Yaesus C4FM isn’t the same vocodor wise… better off like this in my opinion.. next thing we need is people going all mars/cap bananas and causing unknowingly causing dangerous interference by forgetting APRS/WIRES whatever data reporting protocol turned on and the radio trying to poll by firing off data on an active public safety freq

That radio does System Fusion, which is Yaesu's amateur radio digital mode.
It will not do P25, DMR, NXDN, or any other digital mode, nor can it be made to do those.
