To pick up digital signals on an analog scanner, you can use a technique called "digital decoding." This involves connecting the scanner to a digital signal decoder or a computer with appropriate software that can interpret the digital signal formats, such as P25 or DMR. Additionally, using a discriminator output can help extract the audio from the digital signal, allowing you to listen to the transmission. However, keep in mind that not all digital signals can be decoded this way, and some may require specific equipment or software.

What will happen to all other analog tv sets after dtv 2009?

The TVs without a converter box or digital signal will only be able to pick up analog channels, so once they change all of the channels to digital, the TV cannot pick up any channels, most likely resulting in snow.


Have a police scanner and the 400 channels have a lot of static what can you do Do I need to buy a digital scanner?

You can try turning your squelch up. This will filter some of the static out. You can also program your scanner to only pick up channels that are relatively close to you. This will stop a lot of the static too.


How do you write analog?

Analog writing refers to using physical tools like pen and paper to write, as opposed to digital writing on a computer or device. To write analog, simply pick up a pen or pencil and a piece of paper, and start writing your thoughts, ideas, or stories by hand. Analog writing can offer a more tactile and personal connection to the words you are creating.


What do converter boxes do exactly?

TV converter boxes allows you to pick up digital broadcasting viz an analog TV. As of February 17, 2009, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ceased all analog transmission, the signals which you could pick up with an antenna connected to a TV. As of 2008, the NTIA began sending out coupons to any and all families in the US, who requested, a coupon for a free converter to make the switch form analog to digital communications transition smoother for the US.


What are defrances between analog and digital?

Can you play a DAT tape on a normal cassette player?

No you cannot. A regular cassette player uses analog technology to pick up, analyse, convert and play analog sounds. DAT stands for Digital Audio Tape. DAT format is digital and uses 1s and 0s like a computer hard drive. The analog cassette will not be able to get any meaningful information from a DAT tape. So i need to buy a special DAT player to play DAT's?


Can you use your old uhf antenna to pick digital signal on a digital t v?

The answer to the questions depends on where you are. In the recent change to digital in the UK, many existing analog aerials work perfectly with the new service although others have had to be changed. Generally, in areas where the digital terrestrial service is using similar frequencies to the analog service and where there is good signal strength, the old aerial is likely to work. The results will vary between countries and even between areas. Try it and see if your aerial still does the job.


Does a DVD recorder with a digital tuner allow you to record one channel while watching another channel?

It depends on the set you are watching on and your cable service. If you have a cable service that sends in all channels, digital and analog, without the need for a set top box, then you can get all the channels available if your DVR and television both have digital tuners built into them. If your DVR does not have a digital tuner, it will only be able to pick up the standard channels and not the "virtual" channels available through digital service (i.e. 8.1 or 17.4, etc.). If the DVR does have a digital tuner, but you are still watching on an old analog CRT television set, then you won't be able to watch the virtual channels while the DVR is recording, since the old TV won't pick up those in between channels. So, the answer is, if you have a set with a digital tuner, and a DVR with a digital tuner, you will be able to watch any channel while recording any other channel, as long as they are not encoded. If one of the two does not have a digital tuner, then your watching selection will be limited to what it can pick up.

Can you install a digital dash in place of the original anolog dash in a 1990 s10 Chevy pick up?

Yes you can, although there are some manual modifications to the wiring harness. The analog connector is 18 pin, and the digital connector is 34 pin. You can read a how-to guide here: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~akeym/


Why does a tv with built in ntsc-atsc tuner do not pick up antenna signals?

On the settings or set up menu the tuner might not be set to receive off air signals or might be in the cable mode or it might be in the analog mode and you no longer have any analog stations to receive. Check to see if you are in the digital and antenna modes.
