I'm looking to buy an older, used, an hopefully cheap analog scanner to use to scan local ham freqs. Seems my ham radio just doesn't scan fast enough when I put in more than a couple freqs. I either miss the call altogether or just get the last couple letters. And people seem to start talking and pushing the ptt at the same time to compound the problem. Also will use it to connect to the PC to record some nets so I can play it back so folks can hear how good or bad they sound. Seems no one wants to tell a guy he can barely be hear over the noise on his end. So a good analog scanner, prefer a handheld, with an audio out(speaker or headpfones), both battery & AC powered, bnc antenna connection. .And one with a few years of service left. Wouldn't turn down a newer digital one if the price was right, it should last a little longer. I know nothing about scanners so any other advice would be appreciated. I did read thru a lot of the older threads but most were about the newer features and scanners. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
