You'll have to move up to at least the 396XT but you might want to check an=
d make sure state hasn't also gone to scrambled/encrypted.  Local radio gro=
up should be able to tell you or a quick chat on Radio Reference site.  As =
far as programing goes FreeScan is available for free and simplifies that c=
hallenge and with an account from RadioReference you can just download and =
upload whatever you want.  When it comes to using the radio keyboard I usua=
lly us it only for changes on the go and close call or search.  Programing =
is just too time consuming when FreeScan can do it in minutes and the price=
 is right.

Hi there,

=20

I think my state (Mass) police changed to a Digital Trunking System. I can=
=E2=80=99t figure out what it=E2=80=99s exactly called, might it be APCO-25=
 or Project 25.  That=E2=80=99s what=E2=80=99s listed in the =E2=80=9CType=
=E2=80=9D column on RadioReference, where other systems say Motorola or EDA=
CS.  (I=E2=80=99m looking for the Commonwealth of Mass (Project 25) System.=
  It=E2=80=99s listed here:

.com/apps/db/?stid=3D25&tab=3Dtrs> &tab=3Dtrs

=20

Does anyone know if I can program my BC 245XLT for this?  and if not, anyon=
e here know if I can do this on a BC346XT?

Thanks much.
