Just an update to say that this site was moved from being hosted on our business internet connection to now being hosted on a server in Amazon’s EC2 cloud. Amazon offers a year of free EC2 access for anyone who signs up. So far, I’ve hit a few bumps but the experience has taught me a lot and I now feel much more confident in my skills around Amazon EC2.

Pro 96 Scanning on the new Linn County System
Well the Linn County system has come online, and despite what I had originally thought, this scanner CAN be used to receive the new Linn County P25 system (CRPD, CRFD, etc)!
There are a few gotcha’s that are explained in depth on Radio Reference:
- http://forums.radioreference.com/radio-shack-scanners/284784-pro96-tg-id-display.html
- http://forums.radioreference.com/iowa-radio-discussion-forum/283714-new-linn-county-p25-help-7.html
These basically boil down to: update your scanner DSP to 1.4 and don’t expect to hear everything.
That said, I’ve created an updated Arc96 file ready for you to upload to your Pro92/Pro2096
