So I got a new scanner that requires you when you program it to say what kind of trunk system you are scanning.I see tyhat the Tacoma system is a motorola type II but also has a system voice of APCO-25. Does that mean I plug it in as a 800 standard or P25? Sorry for what is probably an easy question, just trying to figure out this new system. Thanks in advance |

I think it's just standard Motorola Type II analog, but with "mixed mode" Digital, much like the other major trunked systems in Western WA. Tacoma & Seattle both use digital encrypted talkgroups for sensitive traffic (i.e. narcotics team) I believe Wiz has confirmed that here. I think there is another thread here that talks about Tacoma PD TAC channel being digital encrypted now.. I think a few folks were a little disappointed when they couldn't listen to that channel anymore. |
