i had scanners when i was a kid im 44 years old now and live by the zoo . i now see we can get Cleveland police . i have a few questions if anyone can help me out i got about 400 to spend i am looking at these models .Uniden Bearcat BCD325P2 , Uniden Bearcat BCD436HP and also a Whistler WS1040 used for 225.programed , or is the Whistler TRX-1 the best option . user friendly and easy to program is what im looking for,id rather buy a new onw then one of ebay i plan on useing this for many years
To be honest im getting nervous about programing and the more i read the more nervous i am . if i buy the bcd436hp and enter my zip code will i have all the channels out the box and be up and running or do i still have to program it too get all the Cleveland channels.
Or should i get the bcd325 and program it myself? i know computers very well and i have a windows 10 home pc .how hard is this stuff to program some reviews say it is a night,mare some say it is easy .after about 10 hours of research im lost. so any scanners you guys recommend me to get in the 425 and under price range? does anyone in Cleveland do programing for a fee>? right now id be happy to start with getting districts 1-5 to start out i love electronics and computers so im sure if i take my time i will get this down ,just afraid to spend 400 bucks and i wont get anything when i can get it free on the net.
Is the software free .or do i want to join this site ?
thank you very much in advance if u can shed some light on this for me it would be great.
