Hello all,
I am new to scanning and hope to attain some advice. I don't have much to spend so I am looking at a
BCT-15. I would like to scan a wide variety of frequencies, but I am mainly interested in Toronto Police and other such frequencies used by emergency and safety groups. What is the deal with APCO-25? Should I buy the 996 instead or perhaps something else altogether. My basic questions are:
Will an analog scanner be outdated or useless soon?
What are the benefits of going digital, especially for someone new to the hobby?
What is the difference between a WideBand Reciever like the AR-8200 Mark 3 and the above Unidens?
Is anything worth listening to found in the "gaps" not covered by the Unidens?
What can be heard in the higher frequencies covered by the AOR (1.5 - 3 GHz range)?
Thanks all
