• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Newer scanners use codes. Sometimes the officers go to "an 800" so we can't hear them. I haven't tried to get equipped to monator the 800 signal, don't know anything about it.springerdave.

Thanks for the info. Just after I posted that I began searching out more info and looks like you have to pay to get the codes.

Also, I am familiar with the alternate channels. It was channel two (2)at the department I worked at (in Georgia).

The programming on new scanners will blow your mind, and cause great frustration, especially if you aren't familiar with them at all. But the knowledgeable people on that site will guide you through any issues.
