Have to do a bit of checking but I think the system here is Motorola. I would 
guess that as I can hear the audio from the trunked systems on my old 2004 
scanner that it is analog.

If I understand this if everybody in my area, city PD, city fire, county cops 
and other local PD/fire, are on the same trunked system I can sort them out. 
The county went to the trunked system and then allowed the citys to buy onto 
the system.

I can tell now that it is time to make a trip to the scanner shop and see 
what is new. Thanks again for the info.
