Wanting to get back into scanning. I have not kept up with all the new digital issues.
I live in Arlington Heights (60004) and I am interested in buying a scanner that I can operate through my computer. I work in front of the computer a lot and would like to be able to listen in the background while I work.
My initial interest are simple; fire/police/emergency etc., local and surrounding areas (I used to enjoy the Chicago freqs as well). But I tend to get obsessive and would like to have something that is capable of doing whatever I may become interested in. Also, I may want to be able to use the scanner in my car.
If anybody can help me out with local info digital, encrypted etc. I would appreciate it.
My initial searches seemed to point to either pc-600 or bcd996t.
thanx
