OK, I know, why would anyone want to. If you wouldn't mind refraining for the abuse > Please just humor me, let's assume that I have an XTS3000 model III on 800 and would like to scan a statewide network.

Here's what I know about the system:
System Type: Project 25 Standard
System Voice: APCO-25 Common Air Interface Exclusive
Sysid: D1C
P25 WACN: BEE07

I've got a list of each site location, the Primary and Secondary Control Channels and the talkgroups that I'd like to monitor.

How would someone go about programming this to use as a scanner ONLY.

Thanks in advance!

Don't. Even. Try.

The system admin. is looking for stuff just like that. He'd love to brick your radio.

State of Colorado? Heh. The system is a real P25 system... affiliation IS REQUIRED. Your radio WILL TRANSMIT if you program it on the system. Your radio will get bricked at a minimum... at a maximum, they'll find you and you'll have lots of 'splaining to do.

These guys are running a >100-site, statewide system. They aren't stupid. So try to refrain from being stupid yourself.

Steps to scan this system:
Sell XTS3000 here or on eBay
Buy Uniden BC396
Program scanner
Pocket extra cash

I changed your username... if you want to remain registered here - let me know what you want it switched to. The other one just won't be allowed here.

Jack and Terry are both correct.... and I'll chime in again - buy a flippin scanner.

Looking further in to this - he was a user that was kicked off perviously... He's not welcome here.
