Moving to Brevard County

Hello all im moving to brevard county and is wondering which scanner would be best for me to monitor police and fire.

Any scanner that can do trunktracking for an EDACS system will work. For example the Pro 163 or 164 from Radio Shack are good scanners.

If you want to expand a little and listen to the Kennedy Space Center you will need a scanner capable of hearing digital signals such as the Pro 106 or 197. Again both are from Radio Shack.

I'm showing my bias toward RS since that is what I own. However there are a number of scanners made by Uniden which would also be excellent for your listening. I don't know the models, but you can do some research and find out the information.

I'm not sure where you are coming from but welcome to Central Florida.

Cool. I live off Nova Rd, just south of Dunlawton.

Wallboy, your moving to a great part of the state with lots of monitoring availability. So far not a lot in this area is either digital or encrypted.

You will have plenty to listen too. As to a scanner it's going to come down to your research as to what you like or don't like in each scanner you check out and of course your budget. I was reading another post somewhere and someone suggested that although the area a person wanted to listen to was mostly analog, a lot of places are going digital. So you might want to consider that when you go to buy.
