Hi, I am completely new to this. From what I can tell, some scanners will work in a certain area based on the systems used, but others will not. I don't want to buy one only to find out that it does not work in my area.
So I have come to the experts
This is my city and I understand, anything with an "E" will not be listenable (which is most of my local PD):
https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=5104
My local Sheriff channels:
https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?ctid=2743
My Local DPS channels:
https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?aid=71
https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?action=locPop&scid=26639
I am not looking for anything that would just completely break the bank, but I have flexibility. (I'd like to stay under $300) Handheld or desktop, no preference really
I have looked at several online, but am just lost as to what features/etc that I would need to be able to monitor in my area.
I'm not even sure if I'm giving the right information for my question, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
