Hello guys, I am new to the hobby. About a month ago, I bought a Uniden BC72XLT - it has been great for listening to aviation (my favorite) but now, I want to expand my scanning ability. I am looking at a Uniden BC246T. Will this model allow me to pickup Calgary police, fire, ems? If not, which models (if any) could you recomend?

I'm here a lot
I would recommend the BCD-396 T as your Police Service uses some digital talk groups .
If you can get by with only listening to Fire and EMS , then you could purchase
a BC -246 T.

There is a great difference in price , you will have to decide what you really want to listen
to and how much you can budget. Like poker, you have to ante-up to stay in the game.
