Hey there, folks. I am interested in getting started in listening to scanners, and thought this would be a good place to get some recommendations on scanners. I'm certainly not looking for anything fancy, just police/fire and weather, if possible. I do live close to a military base, so if would be possible to pick up anything from there, that would be awesome, but that seems like it may be more fancy than I'm willing to pay for. Speaking of which, I'd like to spend about 50, if that's possible, but certainly no more than 100.
I don't know if it matters, but I live in Johnson County, Indiana.
Also, I live in the shadow of a cell phone tower. Will that hurt my reception?
Like the name says, I'm a total n00b when it comes to this. My dad had a scanner when I was a kid, and I loved listening to it. With the tornadoes recently and the flooding today, it's got me thinking of picking up a scanner of my own.
I just found your forum, so I apologize if these are stupid questions.
Thanks a lot.
