OK guys I have what might seem to be a stupid question but after investigating I am at a loss as to what would be the best handheld scanner to buy. Uniden's are all over the market but I have read that they still supply serial cables with their scanners. I want a respectable scanner that will be up to date and includes the ability to receive all the new trunking and digital signals. Any ideas? Thanks Gary

Hi Gary,
That is a tall order....
There isn't really any scanner that I'm aware of that can decode ALL of
the new trunking and digital formats. It may be best to find one that works
and covers what interests you most for your area.
What major city are you near? Pahrump perhaps?
If so, and you are interested in listening to LV Metro when you go over the hill,
I'd suggest the Uniden BCD436XT Hand Held simply because it will pick
up NCSO and metro's P25 Phase II when that is fully online.
Providing they don't encrypt all of it.
