Hello everyone!
I am located in NYC and would like to get my feet wet in joining the radio community.
Please cut me some slack if my questions seem silly, as I am here to learn from high seniority members. Can anyone recommend a good UHF radio that'll be a good choice for listening to local law enforcement and the Fire Department? I (think) I have seen handheld radios that can operate on both UHF and VHF, but please correct me if I'm wrong. With that being said, If this setup is possible, which radios should I be looking at? The reason being Is that I would also like to listen to local RR frequencies.
Would the Motorola MOTOTRBO Xpr7550e be a good choice? From what I have read, programming a radio such as the one I mentioned requires software and a large amount of knowledge to input the radio frequencies that I desire. If this is indeed the case, are there shops that I can send the radio to with a list of frequencies that I can request to be input?
I appreciate everyone's help, and I apologize for the many questions I asked.
Thank you!
