Ft-60r?
Give us a little more to go on, will you have the authority to xmit on it? you know it only covers VHF high band & UHF, will those two bands fit your needs including future expansion? Will you be scanning/operating on just one or a couple of agencies or are looking to scan/operate on all EMS/FD/ETC frequencies.? You do know that Suffolk County FDs & EMS is in a constant state of frequency transition right now, we are talking VHF low band, VHF high band, UHF (The full spread from 450.0 MHz to 487.0+ MHz) & 800.0 MHz trunked systems which this particular portable will not cover. Check the RR database for Suffolk County & go on the
www.w2lie.net website to see just how many different frequency systems you would be dealing with. If most of the answers to the above questions is yes then I strongly suggest a high end handheld scanner, surely some of your co-workers can suggest one to fit your listening requirements. I'm from Central Islip so I've been there & done that, happy hunting.
