Pike Co.'s whimsical, capricious EMS support of PSP's involuntary hospitalizations of innocent citizenry, where no emergencies have ocurred, may become fodder for FBI investigation into even more Pike Co. civil rights abuses. That is in addition to the crack-pot religious indoctrination of defendants by Hon. Joseph Kameen and Warden of the Year Lowe. Ironically, Lowe was recently ordered to cease [by DHS/OIG] and desist monthly total body strip searches of the entire jail population due to the sexual misconduct inherent in such practices. Warden of the year in a state full of perverts? Perhaps that's it, who knows, yet Pennsylvania's archaic laws, barbaric compared to westerly states, is consistent with the way some of PCCF's correctional officers carry on with inmates. Living secluded in the Wilds can do unusual things to peeps after a while. Those who used to court the opposite sex now apparently court black bear with festivals, somewhat reminiscent of PBS & Red Green's Beaver Lodge - minus the humor.

If anybody can give me a better list for active frequencies in that are for a non-didgital scanner that would be great.

I am a homeowner and don't need top-of-the-line equipment to keep abreast of local emergencies. However, it is said that Adams County is switching to a new digital system in the near future. (See the sticky in this forum for reference.) My questions is: What type of scanner will I need? Will I need a $400-$500 digital trunking scanner in order to receive what I am receiving now? I'm hoping to keep up with the times but I am *not* looking to spend a fortune to do so. As you can tell, my knowledge of this equipment is practically nil, so any solid, reliable advice would be truly appreciated.
