The long awaited New radio system for Bedford Co is moving along. Im Hearing that it is P25 digital system. Im hearing radio traffic on the frequencies which are in the 460 and 453 MHz band. Im not real familiar with P25 system but am i correct in assuming that ill still be able to receive the system with my BC895XLT if not it may be time to upgrade to current times !!!!

You will need a new scanner once you confirm it is P25, but any digital model will work well. I am not sure but I think UHF systems are also not straight forward to program. You may need these parameters as well: Base Offset Step If you are in the suburbs with no cell, page, radio, TV towers nearby, you may find GRE radios better because they pull in weaker signals. If not, you are better off with Uniden, as they don't overload as easily with strong signals.

the one new frequency has had radio traffic on it and im picking it up on my current scanner and it has a PL tone of 82.5 so perhaps the system may not be digital

im receiving lots of noise on the frequencies listed for the new system. also lots of bleedover of this noise of adjacent frequencies to these. Im guessing it has something to do with this new system because i never had this problem before and its on all of my scanners on the same frequencies. Im still hearing dispatch on 453.7375 PL 82.5 but im being told the entire new system will be P25 system. Im thinking of getting a BCD996XT scanner which i see should pick up this system plus do many other things. Anyone have any reviews good or bad about this scanner? ?

hearing that fire/ems will still be dispatched via analog frequencies due to there being no digital pagers all other frequencies will be P25 digital . will update as i gather more
