About a year ago, I bought my first scanner and I absolutely love it. I work on the computer late into the night and enjoy listening and knowing what's going on around me.
I'm now thinking of upgrading and have *no* clue what I need to buy to fit the few needs I have. It seems Uniden Bearcats have a great following, so would anyone be willing to look over my list of 'wants' and offer suggestions?
1) Would like a hand-held so I can take it out with me and in case the power is out for any reason.
2) I listen mostly to the police and fire for Perrysburg, OH and Perrysburg Township - they are not on a trunk system.
3) I need cheap - this is a completely frowned-upon hobby so I have to fight to get anything for it. Bought mine on e-bay the first time for around $40 and have been happy except for the lack of portability. Very cheap, I know!
So...any suggestions? Best for the price type of think
Thanks very much! This stuff gets pretty deep.
