I'd like to personally thank all of you for your input, though I don't
know if my current budget will allow the extra $300 or not.

thanks again
Chris

Dear Mr. Ferguson:

Almost all of Genesee County public-safety has made, or will make, a
transition to the State 800 MHz digital system (with the major exception of
the City of Flint, which still uses their VHF system). Uniden makes a
handheld and a "base" radio for the purpose. I have been using the handheld
for a year with good results listening to the Shiawassee system, which
re-sends most of Genesee transmissions, as I am on the west side of the
county.

Expect to pay close to $500 for a radio that will allow monitoring the
state system.

Regards, Mac
