Hey all, new to the forum, and pretty new to scanning.
I live in Hancock County (Findlay), I listen to Hancock Sheriff, City of Findlay Police and Fire, HANCO/MedCorp, OSP and other traffic Online. I have a Bearcat BC80XLT that I was using for storm spotting and mobile listening, but I need to upgrade to Digital and P25 for MARCS. I also travel to Carsile/Franklin Oh area often to visit my inlaws, so I usually take the mobile down there in the summer for anything 800mhz I can pick up.
I'm a former Industrial Firefighter, and HAZMAT Tech. Laid off for now, so I have plenty of downtime. I have tried getting on volunteer squads in the area, but can't because I live just a little too far into the city, and we don't have auxiliary for our city department.
I am an on/off listener, usually when I hear a lot of sirens or if I'm just really bored while surfing the net I'll listen in. I listen more often during the summer for storm info. I'm also a SKYWARN Spotter, but we don't get much to report on around here, High Winds and Flooding are the biggest concerns.
