Look at the Radio Reference page.
It is often way behind, but it will
give you a good idea of what they are doing.

Are you actually looking to listen to some city?

Which one?

The page may have the current info for them. If not, you can often find
people who are there who can help you out with current info. When my city
went to a combination 800 trunked, and Apco25 the page did give me some help
in setting up my first scanner, but they have long fallen behind. Do you
understand the difference between the P25 and the Analog trunked systems,
and why the P25 came about?

Are you trying to say any of the large cities that are going to the expense
to set up a P25 are leaving it open for the people to listen to?

Which ones?

I know when the P25 first started to catch on they were open, but from what
I keep hearing from people who live where they switch now, for the last
couple years, they don't leave them open. There is from what I keep hearing,
a lot of stuff on the P25 that is still open, but not the City Police that
are switching.
