Hey everyone! I'm a railfanner, I use my scanner to monitor rail traffic and occasionally listen in to the police.
I have two questions. One about a comparison of specs between two scanners and another on a purchase I'm probably going to make if confirmed by users on the forum.
I have a uniden bc75xlt. and people told me to get the 125at. To me the only difference is 200 extra channels. both scanners come with a "rubber duck" which I assume is a 800mhz range antenna. I'm a bit green in terms of understanding radio reception range.
But if anyone has a detailed specs of the two Scanners, that would be great!
On to the other question. As a railfan, I want to hear about a train as soon as it gets within range of reception, going inside with the scanner is not an option since the signal will be cut drastically. I found an external speaker on Amazon called the Vectorcom TRD550 it has a 3.5mm jack just like the scanners do, and I'm curious to know is a speaker like that compatible with the 75lxt? I can just leave the scanner outside, crank up the volume to where I can hear it from inside the property.
Hopefully I get great answers, and thanks.
