Cheap/basic scanner to monitor FDNY/PD/EMS
I've done some reading here but could not find what I am looking for. I am looking for basic information and reading pages and pages about Trunking/UnTrunking software, digital etc/ in the wiki does not help.
I am looking to buy a basic portable scanner I can use to monitor (listen only) to PD/EMS in the 5 Boroughs of NYC. (More specifically Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan). I am not looking to become proficient in details about how scanners work and operate.
If you guys could recommend a basic cheap scanner for such use what would it be and where could I obtain one? Do such places program them for you? Would like to stay in $200 or under range.
Thanks.
