Analog, not digital. Try "http://www.scannerworld.com/content/product/model/BC355N" to get further info

It does NOT receive digital or trunked transmissions. Analog only which is good for me because all EMS/Fire/Police frequencies in my area are still in the 152-173 MHz range on FM.

Yes, when programing channels leave CH 16 blank. Tune to CH 16 for it to scan CH 1- 15

My mgr elected not to use the scanner so I can't answer your question. Sorry. Other than that, it's been a very reliable and fairly easy to use machine so far. Regards, Ric

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.

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.

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

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.

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.

I am still a bit new to scanning so I may be wrong but I believe this is considered a scanner capable of doing 800mhz analog trunk scanning. I am able to listen to our county trunking system in the 800mhz spectrum but I believe it is an analog system. Hope this helps!

No - unfortunately not do duplex scanning. I assumed it did when I purchased it. I should have been as smart as you to ask.It is a great all-in-one for everything else, but just lacks that one feature.

No it is not capable of receiving the new digital APCO 25 signals. This scanner is analog frequencies only. Do not confuse the digital readout on the LCD with the ability to receive the new digital signals. Shortly after purchasing this fine, portable scanner, the local city police and sheriff switched to digital signals. So, I no longer receive them on this unit.

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.

This question is over my head. All I know is the scanner does not work and I let to much time go by to return it because it was a Christmas gift bought to early.

I haven't attempted a duplex scan so I don't know whether it does or not. It will make copies.

Yes, it's a P25 digital mode, and also has Analog. The digital mode is like we have here in Ohio for a system called MARCS. If you get the scanner here is something else you might want to get to make your life easy. Get a programming cable, and a program called Win500. It allows you to program the radio without punching buttons on the front. It's much easier and faster. And if you want to make it REAL fast, get an account on Radio Reference. You can download all the frequencies from your area to your PC, then upload using Win500 to this scanner. I did my second scanner with 297 channels in less than 15 minutes.

This scanner is not digital meaning that it cannot pick up new digital police frequencies. We are not refering to the display. but its receive frequencies. This is a analog scanner.
