I am looking for a really good scanner for mainly VHF airbands and also would like local police/fire/emergency. I really don't care much about Trunked systems since I don't know how to use them and I don't think they are in use in my area.
These are my town's frequencies so I DON'T think anything is trunked right? Trunking starts at 800Mhz and above right?
Vernon, NJ
Frequency Input License Type Tone Description Mode
46.10000 WNUK822 BM 131.8 PL Fire Dispatch FM
47.50000 KLO302 BM 77.0 PL EMS Dispatch FM
478.56250 481.56250 WPMW669 RM 156.7 PL Police Dispatch FM
So right now I am just considering going with either the Radio Shack Pro 95 (http://www.radioshack.com/product.a...me=CTLG_008_009_010_003&product_id=20-525)
or the Radio Shack Pro 82 (http://www.radioshack.com/product.a...me=CTLG_008_009_010_005&product_id=20-315)
Probably leaning more towards the Pro-95 because of the Alpha Text you can enter which is nice for memory purposes..
but are their other BETTER scanners with better reception sensitiviy and features in this same price range?
Thanks
