I have not been into scanning for the last 9 years and would like to get back into it. Im trying to decide what scanner I need to get started again. Im not real concerned with the price difference.
I am mainly instersted in scanning police and fire activity in my area. I live on the genesee/oakland county border.
Im not real up to speed on trunking and how to follow calls but will learn. I can pick up on things fairly quickly once I understand the concept.
Is there any value in monitoring I-calls? I noticed only the uniden unit will do this.
I dont know if the "close call" feature is of any benifit, if I would use this? I do plan on taking the unit with me on the road, with necessary permit depending on outcome of the new house bill.
I understand the uniden is somewhat more difficult to adjust squelch etc. And may or may not be as sensitive to signals as the Pro96. Is this just folks not understanding the squelch adjustment or of a real concern? Possibly something an antenna upgrade may correct?
Any help will be appreciated. I am sure I will need more info as I go along. And look forward to joining the group!
