Hallo!
I am sure you're all sick of hearing this but I am a total noob and I have some questions. I am trying to find a scanner for my grandfather, who is a retired firefighter (and the oldest living member of his fire dept) but I don't understand anything about scanners. Here is the thing; he wants to be able to listen to the Fire/EMS channels that originate in Montgomery County, MD...but he lives in Tennessee, so its a range of about 460 miles. I have no idea if this is even a thing.
Montgomery County does offer streaming channels, which he currently uses, but he's really interested in knowing whether or not there is an actual scanner radio he could use to pick up these channels. I really hope you guys can help! Thank you!
