Wondering if anyone could answer a few questions about the 330T
BR330T - The RadioReference Wiki (from the wiki, for those unfamiliar)
I should start off by saying, I have always wanted one (just to round out my collection). I always found it's coverage interesting to say the least. I have PLENTY of radios that do everything I would EVER need (and then some), just ask my wife. Even with my newer models, my favorite two scanners of all time are the 346xt, and 396xt----just plain rock solid. The 330 appears, and seems to be more of a "cousin model". Ok , enough of my rambling. the questions.
Coupled with the right antenna (s), how does the 330 do on SW? I know it's limitations (no SSB). I have read the online owners manual several times. How about LW ? I assume the rest is more or less the 346, with MIL-AIR. I also listen to MIL-AIR frequently, any feedback on the 330 in the 225-400 mhz. range?
And lastly, the price. I want new, and yes I realize it was discontinued in March of 2007---so almost a decade ago. Scanner master somehow has always had these in stock----brand new. I have watched and waited, for the price to get down to a reasonable price (they were near $500----for years). They are at $295 now, brand new. I would be willing to pay that------BUT is there anything that could be potentially wrong with a scanner that old?? Even thought it's new?
Any input, or help is appreciated , I am not swayed one way or the other. And I know some on here, probably think I may be insane for considering it at all, but lot's of people i know think I am anyway!
Thanks Mike
