I believe everything on our new system is going to be a phase 2 talkgroup, unless they save some of the old xts5000 that police and fire had since they are only capable of phase one modulation.
I thought about getting a scanner, but the consumer great products seem to have problems choking on simulcast systems. When I'm at work I would have no issues since I am literally 200 ft from the tower, but when I am home I am in between towers and also driving around town so I could end up with some real issues. That's why I plan on holding out to get a G5 with Phase 2 upgrade next year if my city stays unencrypted for most Public Safety Communications.
While I scanner is useful for finding to talkgroups, I hope to have a laptop based solution to do that sort of work to go along with the G5.
Like I said, I'll do some more reading at work tonight to see what sort of solution I can come up with. I'm not a computer expert by any means, but I couldn't hopefully figure it out LOL
