Charles County Freq

I'm looking at getting a scanner for Charles County, however after checking out radioreference.com it looks like the majority of the frequencies are now digital. Is anyone receiving anything from Charles and if they are what equipment are they using?

I was originally looking at an analog trunking scanner, however it looks like I will need to find digital now.

Thanks

Uniden BCD396T or BCD396XT will work perfectly w/ Charles' trunking system (Motorola SmartZone II). Just plug in the info on RR's website, and it'll work pretty good.
