hello
not really new to scanning as I have a bct8 scanner a sportcat racing scanner, and a realistic pro34 scanner, up until now just been monitoring what I could receive, but I want to get a little more serious so I started shopping for a new scanner, now i keep hearing all this talk about going "digital", I live in the Cleveland county area of NC and the uniden rep told me that cleveland county sheriff is already digital, anyway i'm looking to get into a good scanner that wont be obsolete in a year and can be easily moved from home to car, i prefer the base style similar to the bct8, 1st which brand of scanner is best? i'm kinda partial to uniden but willing to look at other brands, 2nd, is there a benefit to owning a handheld over a base or vice versa? i am looking at the Uniden Bearcat BCD996XT Scanner, but trying to maintain a $400.00 or less budget,
thanks Scott.
