    <font size="-1"><font face="Courier New">Before you buy a scanner,
        there is something else to consider. For some reason, later
        Uniden scanners cannot successfully decode the Ambulance
        trunking in Wellington (that is ONLY my experience anyway.) An
        older UBCD396T decodes successfully, i.e. you can monitor Ambos
        in WGN no problem.<br>
        <br>
        With a UBCD396XT, and indeed, a USDS100, you see the scanning of
        the trunked network pause, display the talk group briefly, then
        continue to scan. No audio is ever heard.<br>
        <br>
        I have tried to research this and adjust parameters etc, but no
        luck.<br>
        <br>
        Anybody else able to monitor ambulance in Wellington on a
        Uniden?<br>

      you won't get much change from a grand. You'd need to approach a
      uniden dealer to see if they'll bring them in. I bought my 100
      about 8 months ago and it had to come from Aussie. If you want to
      receive DMR, it'll be an extra $75. <br>
      <br>
      If you're not in a hurry, you could also get an American model
      from scannermaster/ebay/amazon/universal-radio/zipscanners like a
      BCD536HP or BCD996P2, or over in the whistler camp a TRX-2.<br>

      or download Artemis for what P25 sounds like) and then use your
      current scanner and scan the ESB band. The uniden scanner, once
      programmed with the talkgroup and your local control channel, will
      track the channels itself (only enter the control channel
      frequency) I'd assume the Whistler is the same but I'm no help
      there. They won't track DMR trunking (ie, if you were following a
      user on the Vital tier3 network [the successor to
      Fleetlink/Actionnet] , you need to know the control channel AND
