New to scanners?

Conventional channels

One frequency per channel. Type the frequency into your scanner, add the tone (PL or DPL) if one is listed, and set the mode. Many smaller agencies still use these.

Trunked systems

Larger agencies share a pool of frequencies. You program the site’s control channel and pick talkgroups to follow. Systems like Project 25 need a digital trunking scanner.

Encrypted traffic

Some channels and talkgroups are encrypted. We mark them, and no scanner can listen to them.
