She said she would like on for mainly listening to the local police, fire, and ambulance. I was thinking on one that does ctcss, alpha tags and has weather alert built in. Unless theres a base scanner that also can use batteries guess it needs to be a handheld
I tried to talk her into letting my put up a antenna so she could listen to sourrounding counties but she said no she wanted to just hear the close stuff so...guess my job is easy now to figure out what will be the best for her. We don't have any digital here (Homer Georgia) and no fancy trunking just the old plain jane conventional channels. I was thinking something on the line of a handheld like the RS pro-92 since its cheap (she don't want to spend no more than 80 dollars), free software and does all she'll need (plus I used to have one and loved it)
So what do you all think? Oh guess I should add that she has bad eye sight and arthritis in her hands real bad so something with a good large sceen and something not real small so it'll be easy for her to use....thanks
