Hello all, I have an intrest in purchasing a moble unit to moniter the activities around this part of the state. I am interested in Police, Fire, Coast Guard, Emergency stuff, and at times of evecuation- Info not known to general public...
I have only fooled around with scanners a long time ago/almost twenty years... I need advice to which unit or brand name to get that will be easy/best bang for the buck kind of unit. I have 120v already in the truck, so a base unit is ok. I am so sick of the talk radio that my needs to listen are starving
I have a good technical skill but dont want to get too complex with programming and such. I would like to moniter the main channels for just the local areas of Isle of Palms, Mt pleasant, Sulivans Island. MAybe the coast Guard too. I am a big boat owner so I would like to know whats really happening out on the water...
Please just list any units that may be cost effective/ Bang for the buck.
I think I would like to keep it under $150 for now if that makes sense to do.
Just a small hobbie for now...
