The older the scanner the less filtering or at least the slacker the filtering. Even baseband audio goes through some filtering process, therefore the less there is the better the BBA.
Just on this Rusty, is it possible to use a non-digital scanner for decoding P25 in UniTrunker?

Certainly is. My setup as an example uses RadioShack PRO97 handheld. For the very reason listed above, slack filtering. The control channel data has 99 percent health on GPT.
