So i'm new to this. I have not even bought a scanner yet..but would like to. i'm curious. I live on a main road in Northwestern Connecticut (litchfield county) so i hear every cop, ambulance, and fire truck going by me. So, if i wanted to know what was going on a scanner might give me clues. i know the rinkey-dink fire trunks and volunteer ambulance here are most likely on an analogue signal. but am i correct in assuming CT State Police are 100% digital regardless of where in the state they are? So if I wanted to hear the State Police i would need a Trunking Digital Scanner? Anything else I would pick up nothing from them?
Any clarification would be great.. The other thing I'd like to do.. I like to drive down to BDL in Windsor Locks to just watch planes.. and if i want to hear ATC, I could pick that up with a scanner too right?
Good models? It's kind of depressing that Digital Scanners cost upwards of $500. but i guess it's a luxury some people here don't mind paying right? How much use would I get out of a $500 scanner before it became obsolete?
That's all my newbie questions for now. Thanks guys!
