Need Help with a Digital DMR/Analog UHF/VHF Radio

[DanKATL]

Floyd is on trunked according to that website. I am assuming that means I am SOL? Gordon however, shows the frequencies but I get nothing. Is this a range issue?

Floyd County looks to be trunked P25, so you need different gear to listen to them. Gordon does appear to still be Analog; could be a programming thing or just range.

When talking about breaking radio encryption think; lots of money, govt black bag equipment and possibly jail under Georgia computer crimes statutes.

I thought if you sent signals through my house, I am legal to LISTEN if I can find a way

Some of the FCC rules and regs are just as murky as some of the ATF rules and regs.

If you just want to listen without a bunch of tech knowledge; this app with a cheap tablet or old phone on wifi, makes a great "scanner".

Scanner Radio Pro: Police/Fire - Apps on Google Play

The only scanner app that can alert you when major events are happening.

I have one of these for that exact purpose:

Burdy do you have the programming cable?

So using that app, I can pick up on Floyd County and the app says it is coming from 154.370. When I type that in to my radio, I get nothing. I am getting an icon that looks like no signal in the top left corner, but I don't know why that would be.

Looks like you need to switch it from DIG to analog. Not sure how that radio lists it. It might say FM, analog or FMN.

Yes

If you can get CHIRP installed and read the radio I might be able to get you a config for Gordon County.

Looking closer at the database for Floyd County ""All Agencies have switched to the Rome/Floyd County Public Safety DTRS". There's a very slim chance they still have the analog up, but it's very slim.
