Jim,

Make sure they are not beginning to move the system - rather than 
just some talkgroups - over to P25.

The digital card for the 250 will decode digital talkgroups, but only 
as long as the system is 3600 baud.  If the system migrates to P25 
(9600 baud control channel), you will not be able to trunktrack the 
system.

If you have come here to find out about the 785D you have come to the right place! In fact the discussion of the BC-785D and how it works is the only acceptable topic on this list. Any discussion about anything other than the BC-785D is OFF TOPIC. I hope this is clear to all group members..
