So I could hold on and operate like a scanner as long as I have a PC to hook it up to?

Re: Pro-197

Will The Pro-197 Pickup The RSO I-Call Talkgroups I Know It Gets Phase-1. Brother Ed I ditto what everybody else says for this. First you need a Phase 2 scanner to even pick up the PSEC. Then, even with that, there is no possible way to hear RSO as they are now a fully encrypted agency. It will wor...

I believe they are on the PSEC and encrypted. Unless the city had its own which I doubt because the county has always provided AC services.

Re: Advice for a newbie please.

I don't, but scanners that are simple and take the least amount of time to program. You should have 10 banks that can hold up to 50 channels each. When you press Prog (or whatever it says), select the location and enter the frequency. Like I said I am more high tech in that sense but do study the ma...
