Hi everyone:
First let me introduce myself, my name is Mike and I live in Edmonton Alberta.Last time I was into the scanner scene was the days of the good old crystal's.I've been reading these fourms for the past couple of weeks and to say the least I am very confused as to just what I need for a scanner to get back into things.
I have been looking at two scanners the BCT15x and the BCD996XT both are Uniden radios.
I would like to listen to EMS ,Fire Dept, EPS and of course our center airport while it is still here, which radio will suit me best for this area. I have no problem chucking out the $500 plus for a scanner but if I don't need it why buy it when the small one will do the trick.Oh and are they as hard to program as some people on here say it is...just looking for some friendly advice from people in the know.I apologise for asking stupid questions or questions that have been asked before but still a bit confused by this digital and analog stuff.
Happy Holidays everyone!!
Mike
