Hey folks. Been reading here for awhile but just joined. I've been listening to a scanner since back in the 80's but only analog stuff.
Well now the county sheriff dept. that I listen to the most (Grenada) has gone to this new digital or whatever thing.
I want to get a new scanner but I read on here that they are supposed to go to, I think, P25 phase II in the near future, or something like that,...I don't want to have to buy another scanner in a year or two. I would like to buy a unit that will last for a few more years ( I may not be here that much longer anyway...)
Being disabled from a trucking accident a few years ago....I am on a budget and from what I gather reading here on the forums I will have to spend around $350-$650 for a scanner to be able to hear this new fangle stuff that they are using and going to...Is that correct??
Suggestions and/or cheaper routes much appreciated.
Also would like to ask...would an Antron 99 ground plane work for the new scanners for this new digital stuff?
If not, are there some "budget minded" solutions for an external digital scanner antenna?
Thanks ahead for any time and help
