Channel data: RadioReference county database (ctid 2260). Frequencies and tones change — we program what is current at build time.

The honest part: what you can’t hear

8 row(s) in the county database are digital (AC School Ch. 1, AC School Ch. 2, AC School Ch. 3, Crawford Area Transit Authority) and will not come through on an analog scanner. Everything in the table above is in the clear. If the county moves dispatch to a digital or encrypted system, an analog scanner goes quiet — we update these pages when that happens.

Crawford County scanner questions

Can I hear Crawford County police with a Baofeng?

Yes. Crawford County's law-enforcement dispatch is conventional analog FM, which is exactly what a Baofeng UV-5R / UV-5R Plus hears. We program the channels in the table above to your ZIP.

Is Crawford County police radio encrypted?

No — dispatch is in the clear. Some non-dispatch rows are digital, but dispatch itself is analog and open.

How many channels does Crawford County need?

Law enforcement accounts for 8 of the channels we program here, 44 rows in total including fire and EMS. Our pre-programmed radios carry 128 channels, so there is room for the county plus anything else you want to hear.

We check first

Send your zip and we'll tell you what's actually receivable there.

Which one is right for you?

Buying your first scanner? The UV-5R. Proven, affordable, and does everything most people need.
Want it pocket-sized? The UV-5R Mini. Same core capability, USB-C charging.
Want the widest coverage? The K5 Plus. Adds airband and 1.25M reception, bigger battery.

Before you order, let us check your area

Most US counties still run analog on at least some public safety channels. A growing number have moved to encrypted or digital P25 systems that no analog scanner can receive — at any price.

Send us your zip code and we'll tell you honestly what's receivable where you live. We'd rather turn down a sale than ship you a radio that can't hear your county.
