What they need to do is combine a trunking scanner with the Icom R-3 that =
has a video display and then we can all say hello to the Greenhouse =
effect.

It's called progress.  We had tube type radios with one or two channels,=20=

then transistors and frequency inversion scrambling showed up, Programmable=
=20
radios and digital encryption pops up, then trunking=20
happened.  Unfortunately, digital modulation and new "improved" trunking=20=

formats are the order of the day.  When are the scanners that will do =
MPT=20
trunking going to be made?  probably never since the number of deployed=20
systems will be relatively small and it won't make economic sense for=20
companies like Uniden to engineer and produce.

Accept the fact that your BC235 does Motorola Type 1 and 2, the 245 will =
do=20
those and EDACS etc.... the 250D will decode digital modulation, the =
first=20
scanner to do it. Its successor will do more types of digital=20
modulation.  The fact of the matter is the mobile environment is =
changing.=20
The FCC wants to narrow channels to 6.25 KHz spacing from the 12.5 KHz =
we=20
are now subject to, down from the 25 KHZ spacing the we are used=20
to.  Motorola has its Greenhouse project running in Florida on 700MHz =
with=20
a wide band signal.  Face it, scanners are just like any other product,=20
subject to obsolescence  Get used to it.
