Well =E2=80=93 my husband says I should get the newer model, and I shouldn=
=E2=80=99t buy used.. So I guess I will look seriously at the 436. I will h=
ave to first be SURE that my state police system isn=E2=80=99t encrypted.. =
if it is someone=E2=80=99s managing to play it for me.. So HP-1 =E2=80=93 m=
ust be something like Home Patrol =E2=80=93 but I don=E2=80=99t know what t=
hat is yet. that=E2=80=99s my problem with getting the fancier scanner =E2=
=80=93 I=E2=80=99ll never use most of the functionality.. However =E2=80=93=
 the 396 is a pretty old model..=20

I hope on my own scanner I can choose what talk groups I want =E2=80=93 so =
that I can just get the state police in my area =E2=80=93 if I want.. or al=
l of it.=20

Anyway =E2=80=93 you guys are the best.. I would be lost without you.. Than=
k you!

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,


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.
