Hi,
In considering the tradeoffs between a RS Pro-97 (lower cost, does do LTR, doesn't do digital) vs. a RS Pro-96 (higher cost, does NOT do LTR, does do digital).... what do you think is the better way to go for someone new to scanning.
I'm trying to get something that will keep me interested for a while, a bit challenged, but also not get something that will result in me missing things of interest. LTR broadcasts are seemingly mostly private company users from what I can tell on the RR databases for Alameda and Contra Costa County. At the same time the Pro-97 seems doomed to some obsolence if any when more of Alameda County and possibly Co Co County move to digital. I suppose the BC396 (with its accompanying high price tag would be the answer to all this?
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
