Move from GRECOM PSR-310 to a state of the art digital scanner

[GENE254]

Since most services I would like to program these days are digital, I am looking to upgrade. I began looking at the Whistler TRX-1 and WS1088. Then I saw a thread comparing the TRX-1 to the AnyTone AT-868UV, so I started looking at the AT-868UV and AT-878UV. The AnyTone units are listed as Tx/Rx and not much info is given regarding scanner capability, just the amount of memory for storage. Quite large but most are these days.

I put together a list of must haves:
1. Analog and Digital reception ( both conventional and trunked systems)
2. Ability to receive the latest trunking systems (digital)
3. Ability to record received transmissions (removable media a plus)

Couple of things I wouldn't mind:
1. SDIO loaded with the entire RadioReference freq listings
2. Tx/Rx capability is a bit interesting
3. Battery pack that is not limited to being an integral part of the radio (ie- NiMH or Lithium Ion AA rechargeable batteries instead of a battery pack)

I am not adverse to learning to program a new radio as I don't mind a challenge and if the benefits outweigh the liabilities I'm ok.

Also, don't hesitate to recommend a radio I haven't listed as I am open to new options/features.

Thanks in advance.

The Anytones are more suited to transmitting and can not track trunked systems so I would not recommend them.

It would help for you to post in the forum where you are located and also post what agencies you'd like to listen to. You can ask the moderators to move your question to the proper location forum by clicking "Report" in the lower left corner of your post. Then others who live near you can help recommend a scanner that works for the particular area you're in.

Thank you for the info on how to get location specific data
