I have decided to pull the trigger on getting a hand held scanner. A lot has changed since I purchased the Pro -92 which now has been relegated to analog service.
What I am after is in put from anyone who is monitoring the Shawnee Co. P-25 phase I system with a hand held. I have 3 scanners that I am considering ...the Uniden BCD436HP and Whistler TRX-1 and WS-1080. I have read all of the threads on here ad nauseam so I am not needing a Uniden vs. Whistler debate.
Other considerations.... I have an external antenna on my truck that is dedicated for hand held scanner use....used with the Pro-92 on Shawnee Counties previous system and I also like the ability to plug into the trucks stereo system for improved audio as well as run the scanner off of the trucks DC power port to conserve battery use.
I have a BCD996T that I do not want to mount into the truck and become a future crime statistic( besides it has a very comfy spot in the man cave where its reception is awesome)....I want the ability to take a scanner with me and not have to worry about theft.
