I use to enjoy listening to scanners as a hobby. I own several eqarly-to-mid 90's scanners including an AOR 8000. Due to various life circumstances (marriage/divorce, work, family illness, etc.), I have not really had the time to do so for the last eight or nine years. As such, I am in a sense, an Oldie Newbie. A lot has apparently changed in the hobby since the mid-90's. I am hoping that someone can clarify some of the recent developments. I know that much of this has likely been discussed already but a Google search did not yeield the results that I was after. So please bare with me. 1. It appears that almost all 800 MHz broadcasts, particulalry you know what, are now digital. Theoretically (I know about "the Law"), are there any radios or devices that can decode the cellular band? Would the latest European versions of scanners work in that sense? 2. What exactly does a voice "inverter" do? 3. I was recently scanning the NYPD and they have not appeared to heave converted to digital. How essential is having trunking and digital capability in a scanner? I thank you all for your assistance and guidance. Happy Holidays to all. |
