[ScanIndiana] (no subject) Carroll County

[Jim Sokol]

John,
  I am not in your area, but according to radioreference.com, Law
enforcement in Carroll County is using Indiana Safe-T, the eventually
statewide Motorola trunked system. Info there also states they are using
digital mode for both the county sheriff and Delphi police. That being the
case, you will need a digital scanner to listen, otherwise you will just
hear "digital hiss".
  If your interests are fire/ems/other, they are still what we call
"conventional", and appear to be able to monitored with mosy any scanner.
  What scanner do you have?

trunking. Motorola and LTR are examples of others. If you are trying to
program in a trunked system, the type must match the type the system you are
trying to listen to uses.

If you are not trying to listen to a trunked system, you don't need to be
concerned with this.

Another item it whether or not the system you are trying to listen to is
digital or analog. You must have a digital-capable scanner to listen to
digital. Analog is no problem. There are also different types of digital
encoding. APCO25 is the only one scanners are able to listen to.

What type of scanner do you have?

Can you be more specific on what is Corydon, IN you are trying to listen to?
Please also specify county.
