Hi,

Yes they are a great digital radio scanner, not POLICE scanner,

Police around the world are fed up with people using these to listen in on their operations, and are progressively moving to digital mode, but a mode that these scanners wont pick up, P25 or not.

There are many other things to listen in on, and it doesn't involve the law, fire, ambulance services.

If you're in a country or state or city where these services have gone to digital mode, then you're out of luck, you will not here anything on their frequencies.

But that's what happens when silly people use these radios in pursuits or any other way that hinders the service from doing the duties.

I feel no pain for your loss.

Cheers,
Peter

• Hi, I can help.
• I would not say the scanner is worthless as it has many uses. But this scanner is not digital capable and any digital signals will not be received on this scanner.
• You can still do plenty of listening on it though.

• If you have any comments please feel free to leave them here.
• Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Regards, Tony

Be careful it is illeagle to listen to cell phones or encrypted communications. Todays cell phones are no longer Analog, they are digital and can't be monitored. Have Fun Scanning.

Yours is a fairly simple one to program, and the best instructions are in the factory manual that you can download and print, at no cost, here:

BTW, they're frequencies, not codes, and you can find a great database for your area at:
