Why Radio Shack Scanner does not receive digital transmission?
Your Radio Shack Scanner might not be receiving digital transmissions due to several reasons: * The digital channel or talkgroup might not be using APCO-25 digital modulation. The scanner can only receive APCO-25 C4FM/CQPSK IMBE digital signals. * The digital channel or talkgroup might be encrypted. The scanner will not receive encrypted traffic. * The digital channel or talkgroup is being transmitted from a distant location. Reposition the scanner or use an outdoor antenna to improve reception.
