Will this scanner pick up digital 800MHz frequencies that operate on P25 mode?

Yes it does. Our system has not switched over yet to P25 but Memphis uses it. In fact the preprogrammed v folder includes Memphis P25. The only thing I would recommend is a different antenna. I use the Radio Shack center load antenna and I understand the Radio Shack 800 MHz is also very good.

Technically yes, it can scan anything from 764.00000-960.00000MHz. You don't even need the P25 Network Access Code (NAC), this scanner will pick it up and detect the code automatically, although it is better to save the code to the scanner as it will help block out interference.** BUT ** if the department(s) you are trying to listen to have their radio traffic encrypted on the P25 system, the unit, nor any other unit can decode the encrypted P25 traffic.

Yes, the scanner does receive P25, and does receive frequencies in the 800 MHz range
1349375
Yes, it does recieve digital.but only certain systems. It cannot recieve OpenSky or MotoTRBOwhat kind of System are you needing to listen too
1349376
Yes it will. Programming for the 800MHz frequencies must be done through a computer using software such as ARC500.

Yes! SCANNING Scanning is used for hands off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. When the transceiver options are set to SCAN (via software), setting the channel selector to channel 16 directs the radio to scan the selected channels from 1-16. 1. Transceiver stops scanning when a signal is detected and continues when signal is gone. 2. If there are less than 2 channels, it cannot scan. (Go figure) 3. On channel 16, Press and Hold the PTT and MONI buttons while switching ON the transceiver to turn the Scanning ON or OFF. 4. If FM Radio function is activated via software, the radio will not scan. Note: There is no actual FM Radio function in this radio, so this option should always remain deactivated in software.

No, it's a trunking scanner but not digital. http://forums.radioreference.com/radio-shack-scanners/117952-pro-97-digital-scanner.html

NO, it will not. If agencies in your area use digital radio systems, you will need a digital scanner. Also be aware that some agencies--mainly law enforcement--are not only digital but encrypted as well, meaning that even with a digital scanner, the transmissions would not be understandable.

Yes it has a scan mode. This radio will not pick-up any freqs that are not in the description of the radio freqs. The radio will not pick up the digital modes of comms like their other products from Anytone Tech who also the distrubutor for the Baofeng UV-82. The radio can pick up the digital modes which is an add-on device that requires a computer to use the enhanced features on 2-meter and 440-mhz. If you want those modes with those features, it will cost you more than what you want to spend.

It will scan anything...decoding it is another matter. I can't confirm whether it will support those standards but $14 you can. :)

From what I have found with mine, it will pick up just about anything other than scrambled transmissions. It is NOT very easy to program, however. It's an awesome scanner, but so good that it's a bit complex.

The scanner scans conventional frequencies and trunk systems. This one is called...triple trunking mobile/base radio scanner.Mine receives all the channels that I need for the areas I have used it. I assume it is analog.....but the only digital is the display..

Yes, in the sense of digital input of the frequency(s) you want to listen to. No, in the sense it is not a digital trunked scanner.

I'm not sure. I would say no. I got mine to pick up 700mhz police radios. It works for that but otherwise I don't know anything about it
657772
if your scanner has the port, then yes I would say it would. Check for the port first.

As far as I know, the unit only has 2.4 GHz radio frequency. I have not had problems with it.

This scanner cannot decode digital systems. It can do 800mhz non-digital. You'll need to find out if they are digital or not. Jump on radioreference.com and check the database or register for the forum. There are forum sub groups by state and someone from your area may be able to help you pick a scanner.

Yes. Which bands you can transmit on depends on your local regulation and scanner settings.

The radio will scan, however it is not capable of receiving any agencies using Digital APCO transmissions, Trunked radio systems or LTR, so you may need a "real" scanner for area if the agencies you wish to monitor aren't on a standard analog conventional channel.

Yes it does. You just need to be sure they are analog and not digital. This scanner will only receive analog broadcasts. You can find out by checking at radioreference.com in their database.
