Hello Forum; I live in Montgomery County PA. Conshohocken Boro.(zip 19428) I am interested in listening to local police, fire and EMS in addition to PA turnpike, PA state police and also aviation frequencies. My last scanner was a Radio Shack 200 channel programmable scanner that I used for 20 years and it always served my purposes. Now with all the new technologies in these new scaners and the trunking of frequencies et al, I just do not know what type of scanner to purchase for the basic listening that I want to do.
I definitely want a table top scanner, not a portable one. Price is a factor but not the final determinant.. As long as I can listen to the above mentioned frequencies, I would be satisfied. I would prefer a scanner that I could enter the frequencies myself within the bands that I would have access to.I do not want to puchase a scanner with tons of features that I know that I will never use. GPS for instance. Looking online for scanners to purchase seems very confusing since much of the terminology has changed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
