I am sure this has been asked before and I apologize in advance. In my area, Cola. SC there are only about 25 channels that I would listen to. Last week I purchased a Pro-433 scanner from Radio Shack. What a disappointment. Once the scanner was programmed, the Sheriffs department (800Mhz) channels, there was this horrible loud noise that would stop the scanner from scanning a lot. I deleted those channels and wound up not hearing the sheriffs dept. anymore. I returned the scanner realizing I need a scanner that has a toned squelch. Because I would listen to only about 25 channels is trunking necessary. Also the only digital channels in my area are only a few and are used only at special events and remain dormant most of the time. Are the two still needed and worth the extra money? Thanks in advance for your help.
