Scanner Help

[frgags]

Newbee here....I have had a scanner for quite a while now, but never used for anything other than going to the nascar race. Been playing around with it the past few days and love listening. I feel i need to upgrade however. I am looking for a radio that can pick up regular radio stations as well as scanning. I was looking at the uniden sc230 but doesn't seem to do what i want it to do. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thanks
Frank

If you can find one, get yourself a BR330T -- they might still have some over at Amazon.com. It's an awesome scanner, has coverage from .1MHz-1.3GHz (sans SSB, cellular). It's touted as a NASCAR racing scanner, but is much more than that.

If you do not require the ability to receive some of the new APCO-25 digital systems, then the Uniden BR330T should meet your requirements. Uniden has discontinued this fine scanner for an undisclosed reason. However they're still easy to find.

Thanks for the response guys. I will look into that scanner.

Does anyone know of any other radios that allow for the reception of am/fm broadcast? I like the uniden SC-230 but can't get an answer if allows for am/fm broadcast or not.

I have never seen a scannner that could get AM or FM broadcast radio.


Some of the wideband recievers do, but they are horrible as scanners even though they have a "scan" feature. (too slow)
