NETWORK INFORMATION
The network is a digital 9600 bps Project 25 (commonly referred to as P25 or APCO-25) Phase 1 trunked radio system operating in the UHF band between 403MHz and 420MHz in 12.5 kHz steps.
End user equipment is currently supplied mostly by Motorola and consists primarily of the XTL-5000 (mobile) and XTS-5000 (hand-held) two-way radios (although Tait Communications and Simoco radios are also authorized for use). Encryption is supported and used by some agencies on the network.
COVERAGE
SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO SCANNER USERS???
Basically, it means to listen to this network you need to buy a Digital scanner.
You will need to program the radio using the GRN CONTROL CHANNELS (See Below) from a tower in your area.
The radio reads the information from these control chs and decodes it displaying the user 'Talkgroup ID" & audio.
1 or 2 control channels for every tower - C = primary control channels (red)
A = alternate control channels (blue)
You will need to enter both these channels into your scanner when programming.
