Hello all,
This is my first time posting. I live in the Windsor area. I am about to purchase my first scanner and was recommended the BC125AT (to keep it simple to start they tell me). Being in Canada, we pay more compared to the U.S. On Amazon, the BC125AT is about $170 but I have a chance to pick up a used WHISTLER WS 1065 for about $50 more.
To start, I would like to listen to Marine traffic and maybe Coast Guard as I live on Lake St. Clair and I occasionally see helicopters flying by. As well, I've been listening to O.P.P. broadcasts on Broadcastify. Simply based on price, should I jump on this phase 1 digital scanner for listening to the few categories I mentioned? I will need to pay to have it programmed or should I just keep it simple with the BC125AT? (Can I still listen to the OPP with the BC125AT?)
Thanks in advance for your replies.
