I am looking for a single handheld that will function as a good
transceiver, but will also be able to function as a scanner. I need
this device to have digital trucking for APCO-25 systems. Does such a
device even exist?

thanks

Probably not with "digital trucking". :-)

I get the idea from the ' :-) ' that it was a stupid question. What
makes this idea not practical?

Because you are not going to find a digital "trucking" scanner. You may
however, find a digital "TRUNKING" scanner.

thanks. Good thing I don't need to know how to spell to use a radio.

What band(s) are you going to transmit on?

Cheers.

I would like to be able to transmit on:
6 meter, 2 meter, 1.25 meter, and 70cm bands (more would, of course,
be nice), but I am willing to sacrifice some of them to get the digital
trunking support.

Thanks,
Brad

You can get a Kenwood THF6....covers 2/220/440 xmit.....and all
mode/coverage on rcv...for P25, you would have to use an external decoder...
but that wont get you trunking....There are few if any scanners that cover
P25 trunking right now...
what you want does not exist in one package.

I thinks maybe you ask way too much for one handheld radio. :-P ;-)

Do any single HTs exist that can transmit on all of those bands? I've
seen tri-band HTs, but not any quad-banders ...

As for the trunk tracking, what you might want to do is find a amateur
radio transceiver that does most of what you need, and a digital trunk
tracking scanner that does what you want, and then use this high-tech
tool --

to merge the functionality of the two into one.
