So...here's what I have so far. Again, please feel free to throw your comments or suggestions in as I'm still a newbie and not very knowledgeable with any of this yet.
- Uniden BCD996XT has been ordered.
- I was thinking of adding a remote head (BC-RH96). I'm kinda picky on where they install it and I think this may give us a few more options.
- Antenex Phantom. Again, one of the most important things to me on this is low profile. At the most, I will be 15-20 miles away from either county and have been told this antenna should work for what I need. (
TRAB7603 - Antenex Phantom Low Profile 760-870MHz 3dB-MEG Gain Antenna (Black/NMO Mount) with Patented Field Diversity)
- External Speaker. Not sure which kind. I have been told this is a must for mobile/vehicle applications. (Something simliar to this:
Bearcatwarehouse Uniden ESP-12 Speaker). Again, open to suggestions.
To refresh everyone, this is what I'm planning to scan:
- Athens-Clarke Public Safety (Police, Fire). Motorola Smartnet 800 mhz system
- Oconee County Public Safety (Sheriff, Fire). Older VHF system right now, moving to an area-wide 700 mhz trunked simulcast system in the near future.
Look forward to any thoughts or suggestions. Thanks!
