Bear in mind that putting CAD on the web costs money and personel time, neither of which is in much supply in most public safety groups. They cannot just tie the 'real' CAD to the public web, due to privacy issues. So someone must code each CAD call manually for 'web allowed' or not, which is more w...

The scanner antenna will work, for VHF scanning purposes. Not very good for shortwave. PL-259 means 'Plug, type 259', while SO-259 means 'Socket, type 259', in other words, the male and female halves. The SO is on the back of the radio, and on the antenna. An RG-8 type cable from Radio shack comes w...

The Pro-2050 is an analog only trunking scanner. While you can enter the RCS south zone, you will not be able to monitor almost all of the Sheriff's talkgroups, as they are digital.
