Hello all,
I am looking for an analog trunking scanner and I hope I can get some advice.
I am a volunteer fire fighter. The department has switched to an 800 Mhz analog trunking system from VHF. The only pager I have is a digital pager so I cant hear the dispatches any more. Its nice to have the address sent to me but I like to hear the dispatch and who is responding.
Its nice to see that there is more than 1 option in the market now. I have been looking at 3 radios. Uniden 246T, GRE PSR-300 and Radio Shacks line up.
The prices are close to the same so thats not a factor. The biggest thing is I don't have any direct experience with these models. Is there one that stands out? I am looking for portability and durability. I plan to get some programming software but I cant decide on which one.
I have been looking around RR and I hope this forum will put things into perspective.
Thanks,
Todd- N7ZWQ
