My father in-law is looking for a police scanner.
I know things are changing with the Digital scanner being the up and coming thing. What unit would you guys recommend so he can listen to local police/fire? The digital scanners seem pretty pricey. Looking for a portable unit mainly. Thanks greatly! |

You need to tell people where you are, what you want to hear. Radio Reference page may be able to help. It will depend on what kind of radio system the agencies you want to hear have. Most Police that go digital only do so to have encrypted. If your Police have done that you can't hear them. If it's a Trunked 800 or standard analog the BC246T is a great little scanner. Fits in a shirt pocket. -- "Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks." [Lazarus Long] |

If they go digital they will most likely encrypt. If by chance they don't Uniden makes a nice pocket size Digital, but they are expensive. Over twice as much. -- Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer.
