I am completely new at this and still trying to figure out all the terminology, what the equipment does, etc.
With that said, I'd like to get a HT plus something that I can listen to local pd on for emergencies. I didn't want to have to get a HT and a scanner so this unit seems to do both. I live in South Orange County and see on this site that many of the pd frequencies are encrypted.
Anyone have experience with the Yaesu FT-60R? Is it good for both listening to local fire/pd and HT..especially for a noob?
