[Scan-DC] Uniden new P25 scanner limitations

Sat, 19 Oct 2002 12:24:17 -0400

I just posted this on TrunkCom this morning:

These are big ifs, but if Trunker can handle 9.6 K (I don't remember), and
the new digitals can be computer controlled (not just computer
programmable), that would be a way around the rumored problem.  Let Trunker
handle the control channel, and use the digital as the secondary scanner to
monitor... wallah.  However, this is not much help to mobile users unless
they tug a laptop around.

Subject: [Scan-DC] Uniden new P25 scanner limitations

Hello:

Uniden's new scanner apparently will not handle a 9600 baud control
channel (see strongsignals website.)  So, how will this affect us in
this region?  Do any of the new P25 systems recently activated or being
built use a 9600 baud control channel, rendering the new, expensive
Uniden scanners "useless" for monitoring those systems?  Does anybody
have a list of area P25 digital systems, both built and proposed, and
their respective control channel baud rates?

Thanks,

Chas Armstrong
