Re: Welcome to Scanning 101
Answers to your questions, all are "Depends" - no stock/standard answer. Do you need DMR... who around you is using DMR [mostly business ops, but some government] who do you plan [think future too] on monitoring... see what the Wiki shows currently for that county and state Do you need an external a...

Mounted inside the home office, on a Camera Tripod, Had it for a few years now, used for some of my Event Ops [Amateur at Mt Washington] but finally put it into use with the 898T's I bought from you, that also turned out to be Tapped, so using DSD+, 898T and the Beam http://www.arrowantennas.com/arr...

Re: How do I monitor this???
IGNORE the Radius information from RR, it is only an approximation and all depends on your actual set-up [YMMV] I can hear systems well beyond the RR approximations and then there are others I can not hear at all and I am within that radius Also you have gone too deep right away, back out to [back o...

Re: How do I monitor this???
I would suggest spending time with the documents of DSD+ and your SDR for help. As to a scanner, all depends on the software you are going to purchase/use, many are very intuitive, if you spend time to digest/read thru it more than once and have it avail for reference regularly Not having a DMR Radi...
