Can anyone tell me the best place to go in the D/FW metroplex area to buy a scanner? I found out the old Bearcat handheld scanner I've had for nearly 20 years will not work in this area and that I need a scanner with trunking capabilities. Thanks!
regardless of location, the best choice on average has got to be online shops (for price). unless, of course, you choose a radioshack model in which case going into your local radioshack store might yield results (but many have reported short supply in local stores -- call first to check stock!).
if you need digital, the pro-96 seems to be a great choice. for non-digital the pro-97 is a real winner with a great price-point (but some people love the uniden 246t -- which lacks milair but has a lot of excellent features). i'm in the houston area and have a pro-97 which i picked up about a month ago, and i'm glad i did (prior to that i've had a pro-94 for several years). i don't have any digital systems down here yet, at least that i'm aware of that i would care to monitor, so the pro-97 is working out great. plus i have some frequent milair traffic (mostly helicopters) around me so that's a plus.
in any case, good luck and have fun
