I am looking for my first scanner. I have been listening to the scanners on Broadcastify for years and have finally made the decision to become more serious in scanning and purchase my first scanner. I am looking for something that will scan the departments near me, which are mostly on the Fort Worth Regional P25 Phase II Radio System here in Fort Worth, Texas. To be specific, the cities I am looking to cover are on Site 3 of the FW Regional.
I am wondering if I'll be able to cover all the cities on that site simultaneously, plus Hurst Fire Department who is on their own P25 trunked system but they are only Phase I and maybe a few others near me.
The scanner I am most interested right now is the Uniden Bearcat BCD436HP.
I was wondering, what do you think of it? Is it worth the money, or is there something around the same price range better? I really like how small it is, being a freelance news photographer and fire-ground photographer so I can't get a desktop and have heard really good things about it.
