Nope and no.
They don't even support P25 trunking, even if they did, Motorola force them to affiliate.
Get a P25 scanner instead

Re: Motorola P25 Radios Help
If you want to RX the NSW GRN only via single towers and pass all talkgroups, they will work just fine(in fact, sound better then any scanner). Ive got several W3's monitoring different towers. No affiliation at all. just set it up to scan all freq's on the tower ex control channel and alt control to speed up scan times.
Re: Motorola P25 Radios Help
thanks Barry, I might stick to the 396

Re: Motorola P25 Radios Help
no worries, it comes in handy when listening to specific towers, but thats pretty much all they do.jaskel wrote:thanks Barry, I might stick to the 396

Re: Motorola P25 Radios Help
That would be okay on a reasonably quiet site but wouldn't be much good on a busy metro site as that method doesn't "trunk track" (IOW it won't follow a talkgroup across multiple bases) so each conversation would be truncated (excuse the pun), that's why everybody always says "go buy a scanner" instead!

Re: Motorola P25 Radios Help
If you are going to do that you may as well use an old Tait or Philips radio that have a better receiver than a cruddy old XTS... can't really see the point to setting up a radio to listen to snippets of conversations- that would drive me nuts!

and a "old tait or phillips" does not do P25.
