Caledonia county, St. Johnsbury scanner needs

[donovansn585]

Hi there I am new to the forum and would like some help on a scanner decision. I do not want to spend the amount of money yet to hear p25 transmissions. But I would like to listen to as much fire rescue and police as I can so I'm looking for advice on what the minimum scanner I would need to do this in my area

Any analog scanner will do... the BC125 is a good choice, or the BC75 if you don't want/need text tags or PL tones.

You suggested the bc75 and bc125 these are portables so can you tell me what the most inexpensive home scanner I could get by with thanks Sean

Practically any scanner will work in Caledonia County. No digital that I know of.


I would recommend the BC125AT for a portable. The features are well and above that of the 72, 75, 92, and 95. Well worth the ~$25 or so to get the BC125AT.

I have no idea for a base scanner.

This would work >> Uniden Bearcat BC345CRS
Uniden Bearcat BC345CRS Police Scanner

I would go along with RonnieUSA on the BC345CRs or the BC125AT if you want a hand held unit.
