Any specific models/manufacturers you can suggest?
- Press2forEN 6y agoI have a Uniden BCD396XT, which is a few years old and I'm not sure they make it anymore. However the second-hand market for radios is very strong and if you have an amateur radio store in your area (Ham Radio Outlet, or the like) you can go there and I've found them to be very helpful. They're likely to know the specifics of the LE frequencies in your area. I've been thinking about upgrading to an ICOM IC-R30, but its expensive and does way more than just police scanning.
- lozaning 6y agoGet a Hack RF or other SDR and then just run Unitrunker on a computer.
- larrywright 6y agoI have a couple of those, but unitrunker only runs in Windows, and I’d hate to run Windows just for that.
- xxpor 6y agoDon't you need at least 2 to track trunked systems?
- dantle 6y agoIt is helpful, but not necessary. I am listening in on Seattle's trunked radio system with just one, and I get most of the comms. I documented my setup here: https://dantler.us/seattle-police-scanner/ https://dantler.us/seattle-police-scanner/
- mmmrtl 6y agoPlease consider streaming on https://openmhz.com/ https://openmhz.com/
- lozaning 6y agoYou need two rtl-sdr, but one hack-rf can grab enough of the spectrum that only one is required. One of the benefits of p25 is that it's very spectrum efficient so I get all 18 channels.
- xxpor 6y agoAh the bandwidth isn't something I'd considered. That's a good point. Unfortunately for me the KCERS Seattle site's total bandwidth is about 6.5 mhz. I have a RTL-SDR and a SDRPlay but it seems like the only thing that can talk to the SDRPlay is their own software. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=604 https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=604
