Looking to buy scanner

[EMSJUNKY]

Hey all,


I am in the process of researching and purchasing my FIRST APCO25 Digital scanner base or mobile... yes i know i am bit behind the curve. Any one have suggestions on what I should buy. the primary system I will be needing to monitor is a Motorola Type II SmartZone Omnilink system.

Im open to any suggestions.

Thanks.

You interested in a base or mobile scanner?

I know alot of people here like the 396T for the digital systems.

Check out this info on the Wiki pagehttp://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/BCD996T This is a great scanner. There is also the Radio Shack PRO-2096.

I have had my 396T for about 8 months now. I have had scanners for the la r 20 years and I think it's one of the best one I ever had. For programming, I bought the ARC program. It makes a big difference, than programming it manualy. I think you won't go wrong.

Buying scanner

I have a Uniden bc796 which is like brand new, box and all accessories which will do what you want . It is for sale. I want a portable scanner instead. E-mail sfd4@aol.com for info

The BCD996T is by far the best scanner I have used. My father-in-law has one. I have used it quite a bit around my area. It has great audio, great receive, and too many features to list.

It is a very sensitive little scanner on VHF-High and 800 MHz (the main systems he monitors).

www.usascan.com usually has some of the better prices and fast shipping! If I had the $$$, I would own one myself!
