During the last couple of months my mom has let me borrow her scanner, but now she would like it back. While I would have never thought that I would become addicted to it, I seem to have at least made it a sort of hobby. So now I am looking into getting one of my own, but after doing a bit of looking, I feel more lost than ever. Currently I am listening to the very basic model from radio shack. It seems to do very well and untill I started looking for a new one I didn't think I was missing out on much. So here is a list of my questions - any advice or answers would be so very help and apperciated.....
- I have not had the instruction book and am unclear on the difference between programing frequencies in and allowing the scanner to just scan ?
-- how do I program things in ?
-- where do I find the frequencies to program in?
- We live in Kearney == why do I sometimes get Kearney county and Minden ?
- Would I get more if I got a trunked scanner? I have no idea if Kearney uses that technology - does anyone know or know where I can find out? Would it increase my listening range to other areas?
Thanks so much and now I am wondering if I seem like as big of moron about this stuff as I feel like right now.......
