We've got an ancient Radio Shack Pro-2050 that seems to have the constant squelch problem others have reported online. I wouldn't know where to take it to be repaired, and that might not be cost-effective anyway, so I figured maybe it's time to replace it. Maybe that's wrong and there's someone local and it's a simple fix, so I'm open to that too.
We live in San Jose and listen to Police, Fire and CHP. Because we're in an unincorporated area, we need SC County Sheriff channels too. We're casual listeners so we don't need a lot of bells and whistles, just a basic desktop scanner that can handle those channels. IOW, we don't want to spend a lot of money .
I've tried reading through the forums and apparently the technology is changing and perhaps we need to buy for the future, but that seems to indicate that our goal of keeping the cost down might not be possible.
Any suggestions?
