Hi all,
To be perfectly blunt I know very little about digital trunking scanners. I have heard very good things about Bearcat 396XT. I live in the Philadelphia area and was looking for some input, how difficult is it to program, how far away can you be from a city with digital truning and still hear the communications? I was also wondering if you purchase this scanner can you still hear frequencies such as 154.xxxx or 483.xxxx, I am looking to primarily listen to fire and some police channels. I live in Burlington Co. NJ, near the military bases, for those who are familiar with the Philly metro area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
