Several suggested the Home Patrol which is an excellent unit.  There is a g=
uy who runs a web site who is from or near Boston.  I=E2=80=99m not sure it=
 is Scan Massachusetts or Scan New England.  He might be able to help you w=
ith a choice.

Most all of the newer menu driven scanners get more complicated to use.  Mo=
st of the digital scanners are around $500 except the new BCD546HP which is=
 $599.

Hi Fred =E2=80=93 thanks for this info.. I would be looking for a handheld =
=E2=80=93 so unless that Home Patrol 1 would work for me, I guess I=E2=80=
=99d be looking at the 396.. (Of course I haven=E2=80=99t looked at the pri=
ces yet!)

Any pros/cons thoughts are appreciated =E2=80=93 you guys have all been gre=
at to me tonight!  Thank you again..=20

Maggie, neither the BC245XLT or the BC346XT will decode digital transmissio=
ns.  To receive digital you will need a BCD396XT handheld, BCD996XT base/mo=
bile, Home Patrol 1, or their just becoming available BCD436HP handheld or =
BCD546HP base mobile, or a scanner from another manufacturer which is capab=
le of decoding digital transmissions.

In general a Uniden scanner capable of decoding digital transmissions will =
have a D in the model number.  Like the five mentioned above or their disco=
ntinued models BC250D, BC296D, handhelds or BC785D, BC796D, base/mobiles

Hi there,

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:

http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?stid=3D25&tab=3Dtrs

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.
