Thanks for sharing Tom.
I gave a listen for a short period. A lot of the traffic was rather
difficult for me to understand. There were times I could tell what was
being said, other times not so. Probably about 50/50.
Our system is currently still patching digital over to an analog
channel, so it's a mix of both depending on the user. For some reason
the digital traffic is a lot easier to understand. 90% of the time it
is copyable. The remaining 10% is lost to the technology and I can't
pull it out with my ears. The stuff still analog is, well, absolutely great.
The Uniden scanner I had for a short while (programmed it for a friend)
was pretty dismal on digital.
