Someone I know gave me this scanner. I know nothing about them, but I must say that its so easy. I bought a TV antenna at radio shack, some wire an an adapter. That's it. I put the antenna on the roof and I can hear all kinds of stuff. From what I understand, "radio heads" have this down to a science. Did I just get lucky? What I mean is, that mine works great, and I just hooked it all up like a cave man. I guess my SN says it all lol.
As far as my area and the police channels goes. Its hit or miss. They switched some to digital within the last couple months from what I read in the paper, but not all of them. With that being said. Sometimes I hear this god awful noise both ways, or just one way. Then other times its fine. I guess this is from some of that digital equipment? I always wanted a scanner, and its fun to listen in until that noise knocks me off my chair. For now I am tuned into the weather. We took a winter blast (in the fall) over here. More snow in one day than the last 4 winters combined : (.
