Hi-
Im new to the site, I enjoy listening to shortwave and am. I also enjoy my police scanner, a modest Radio Shack pro desktop model. I am considering buying a handheld scanner.
In my community at this point uses standard non trunking analog transmiissions. I think a trunking scanner might be something I want?? ... I am also concerned about my purchase becoming obsolete if my comunity goes digital (cant afford a digital one now by any means);
So I am wondering what are the odds of this happening?
I was thinking a basic GRE PSR 100 but have considered poneying up for the 310 because of its trunking capabilities. (still analog though). I chose these since they both have weather warning alarms over the cheaper uniden bearcats.
I dont know much of the hobby side of scanners, so I would appreciate any guidance on what I should upgrade to......
thank you.
