Hello,
Newbie here with an interest in scanners, living in NYC and I am primarily interested in NYPD and possibly FDNY.
I have been reading a researching for a few days and am still confused, I checked the DB and saw the various freqs used by the above agencies. Perhaps you guys can tell me what works and what doesnt as I have read some conflicting information.
My needs
A cheap handheld scanner(read the laws and is illegal in vehicles which is fine as I plan to use at home and on foot)
Dont want to pay more than a $100 really, the cheaper the better.
I see Radioshack has refurb pro164 for 120 with free shipping, will this be the best for me?
Or should I go with a GRE PSR100 or a Uniden BC72HXLT?
Thanks and very informative forum here!
