Hi everybody. I hardly ever post on here, but I'm currently looking for a new (or used) handheld scanner. My current model is a Radio Shack Pro-135. It's been a good scanner, but just a year after I bought it the local police went to digital. That was over 4 years ago I think. Also within the last year or so the scanner cuts out every few seconds when its picking up a transmission, which can cause me to miss key words I need to know like mileposts, and train IDs. Anyways, I'm looking for a decent digital scanner to pick up my local police [Franklin County Pa (Chambersburg, Waynesboro, Greencastle)], as well as railroad frequencies and maybe even Life Lion Medevac, PSP & MD Trooper helicopters. After I couldn't listen to the police anymore, I began to use it as a railroad only scanner. I know eventually the railroads are going to digital as well. I just want something that will be a good investment in the long run, and pick up both digital and analog. Decent reception, ease of use etc. Will most likely buy off ebay for the best price, unless my worthless radio shack actually has one in stock. Thanks for the advice.
