HOPKINSVILLE KY. POLICE DEPT. CHANGED TO A

Doesn't Maine have a state law concerning the Civilian monitoring or Police channels? I know they used Trunked Multi channel systems.

With the distant services still coming in, it's probable that your local agencies have changed from single-frequency operations to a trunked system or, if already trunked, that frequency/user assignments have been updated within the system.

Listening in since the 60's

You can listen to trunked police bands UNLESS: 1 they went Digital and your scanner is Analog. 2. They use an encrypted control frequency. 3. It is not against the law in your area. 4. you have a Trunked scanner. Following trunked frequencies requires a trunked scanner which is very different from regular everyday scanners. If the photo of your scanner is accurate then it appears you have Digital capability so that won't be a problem. You can go to Radio shack and purchase a book on Public Safety frequencies and Control Frequencies which will give you the proper frequency range but they will tell you nothing about Encryption on any Frequency. If you can not find a Control Frequency then you will not be able to track the hoping that is used in a trunked system. By the way, a Regular scanner runs about $50 where as a Trunked Scanner runs $150 to $200.

You need to know what types of systems (conventional or trunked) and what frequencies are in use in your area. If your area is using trunked systems for the law enforcement agencies you will need to upgrade to a different scanner. Your best course is to check with a comprehensive database site like radioreference.com or cityfreq.com.

is it a digital scanner? You know that everyone has gone digital there fore making that kind of scanner outdated and if you are trying to listen to police u wont pick anything up. I was told that some raido shacks will re program it for you.
