[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4225795, member: 16254"] PTT disengagement can't be acquired manually but can be programmed through [I][B]CHIRP[/B][/I] app and a cord. App is free, cord is $10 on Amazon. You'll want to do this so you can name the frequencies for easier recognition instead of memorizing frequencies or referencing a cheat sheet. Also, you can set up just the frequencies you want to scan eliminating things like NOAA that you still want but don't want scanning function locked on. If you want to listen to emergency services primarily there are a few you can get on the Baofeng, but being an analogue type radio it's limited. To receive the most of those frequencies will require a quality scanner with digital and trunking capabilities. [/QUOTE]
