Ok, I've got the bug!
I stumbled across this site a couple of days ago while surfing Katrina info, and now I think that I need to get in on the scanning.

I've tried to read thru the threads for the Memphis area so that I would have some clue but...it sounds like I'm going to need a top-of-the-line scanner to get in on the action.
If I understand what's going on, my choices are the Rad Shack Pro 96 or the Uniden 396..? correct?

I know that this is the most asked question but... what are my best options/suggestions for getting started for the Memphis area?

Thanks in advance,
JD
