I have a radio shack pro 2050 that works just fine. But I can't get them at my house in Gray.....
My desk at work is very limited in space so I was wondering if anyone could point me to a portable option that can live at my desk in Portland and not take up too much space.
ALso, will they be upgrading to digital anytime soon? I'd hate to purchase something only to have it become obselete.
I am not really that savvy about scanners.... I just like to listen. Now that the POrtland Public Safety feed is gone, I can't listen anymore.
Thanks.
