First time post. Been reading quite a bit on the forums but looking for some direct opinions on SD.
I'm currently using an old Pro-93 analog trunking scanner to monitor SD City Police. I'm aware that at some point they'll change to the 700MHz P25 system at which time I'll need to upgrade.
My question is whether there's any reason to upgrade now to be prepared and maybe find some other interesting digital traffic to monitor in the interim? I've seen the Unication pagers which I like for their size, performance and battery life (from what I've read), but they apparently aren't compatible with much in SD at this time. Also took a look at the Uniden SD100 but reviews on P25 systems seem mixed in terms of performance.
For general monitoring in SD am I better of waiting until the 700MHz system is ironed out?
Thanks for comments.
