I'm wondering if anyone else feels this way.
I started my scanner hobby about 40 years ago with a Radio Shack Pro 12 4 channel VHF crystal scanner and have progressed through many models up to my current 800 analog trunk tracker scanners. My county public safety system has now gone digital which creates some barriers for me; the cost of digital scanners is prohibitive and even if I could buy one, it seems that they all have difficulties properly receiving and tracking digital systems.
I've about decided to simply go back to my roots and monitor only vhf/uhf analog railroad, aircraft, ambulance, and the few vhf public safety simulcast feeds which exist around here. So I'm wondering if anyone else feels the same way and is making a conscious decision to not chase the move into digital scanning?
