scanner
Hopefully i caught you before you bought the radioshack digital scanner! The Pro-96 scanner WILL NOT work with the local system. Here in lane county, we have a motorola P25 simulcasted trunking system, which is a very difficult system to receive with a scanner.
I bought this scanner awhile back, and it worked great on the old conventional P25 system. Now that they decided to spend millions of dollars on this new system, these scanners are as good as garbage. i spent numerous hours trying to make it work, and being a RF technician, i swore i'd be able to figure it out.
I have had SOME luck with the newest uniden digital trunking scanner, but it still cuts in and out.
Bottom line: If your looking to receive eugene pd, springfield pd, eweb, or lane county sheriff, the uniden is not the scanner for you.
Not to mention it doesnt do LTR trunking, one of the most common!
You can still recieve OSP, and Firecom.
