I've been investigating. Not speaking from first hand experience, but my understanding from colleagues across the pond is that it cannot decode RAS-enabled systems in scan mode, and definitely not trunk track a RAS-enabled CAP+ system. It can decode RAS if the scanner is sat on a specific frequency. Seems like it has some catching up to do vs. where Uniden is.

I wonder if any uk dealers are considering selling the uniden digital scanners then like the whistler range that has appeared here in the uk , would be a cheaper option for us users instead of buying from the states , fingers crossed anyway jim

Hi found a couple of posts on this, whats the best way to recieve? SDR or a DMR radio? or an expensive scanner?

A laptop can be expensive and doesnt fit inside a jacket pocket or clip to your belt well. Warrington shops and pubs were still on dmr 3 weeks ago, I'll be there tomorrow and listen out for them. The shopping centres there I think are downfire which means they dont transmit over any real distance just more or less within the shopping centre

Warrington shops and pubwatch still clear on dmr

Hi all, Uniden 3600 and still only getting white noise unfortunately correct color code 6 ! Any help?

Right. Ive just spent ages cleaning this thread up. If your post is gone its because it was appearing out of context with the original contentious poster now banned and their posts deleted. Play nice people. Anymore reports regarding this thread and its being locked / deleted!!

I've seen / heard shopwatches and security go encrypted and reappear. My late mother in law liked listening into security of the shopping centre she worked in. They 'went' and have now 'reappeared'... They use a frequency not on a database, well, not RRUK anyway.

Despite rumours of it's demise, it is still there.
