Been awhile since I posted around these parts since I sold off my BC-246T (and yes, I miss it tremendously). But that was then and this is now, and I'm living in Vegas now as well.
Going to stop by AES sometime this week and take a peek at what's on the current lineup for scanners, so my question to any Las Vegasians or Vegans are whatever the hell we are is:
Should I even bother with a digital handheld like the 396 these days considering the last time I checked on it, most of the law enforcement in Vegas was planning to go to the ProVoice system which can't be monitored realistically? Or should I snag the 330T which I've heard and read great things about so far, especially since it covers the MilAir band and I'm an avid airband listener.
I mean, the Thunderbirds call this place home and I luck out and see them doing practices on occasion (I guess with fall/winter rolling in that'll tone down somewhat) but even so, it's the reason I'd choose the 330T over my old 246T at this point.
I'm gonna get something this week, I'm just curious to get some idea of which one might be best. I could get a desktop unit of some kind also, since I don't do too much mobile listening. I live in the downtown area, just two streets away from the intersection of Fremont and LVBD, so I'm pretty much in the center of town.
So, any recommendations on the 330T over the 246T, or possibly some recommendation for a desktop that can do most of the functions that either of them can - with MilAir support, of course - are greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading...
