I've been a member here for a few years, dropping in from time to time to read and learn, see what's new. I'm considering a somewhat major purchase in the near future with a self imposed budget of approx $1k and I'm looking for opinions/recommendations on what to buy.
Details:
- I am fascinated with communications technology, less so with the actual content of the communication. But, when I hear a siren it is interesting to tune in for a couple of minutes and find out what's going on.
- I live in Haldimand county, southern Ontario Canada.
- I have a little Grundig Satellit 750 that I've had some fun with the past few years but it is fairly limited.
- My 16x12 shed at the back of the property is just about complete.
I keep looking at traditional scanners with interest but also at the Winradio products, that scope display is pretty sexy. And it just seems to me that a visual representation of the RF reality would be a big help in lessening the learning curve and a boost in locating and selecting specific signals.
Hope I've provided enough information to allow those with the knowledge and experience to offer a comfortable opinion/recommendation.
Regards,
Jim
