Reception in Low Lying Areas

[Mickie15]

My wife wants a scanner, and I have decided on a digital, but I am concerned that the low valley we live in may cause problems with reception. Even with our cell phones we get limited, but adequate service. Will we have similar limited service with scanners. Would appreciate your knowledge and/or opinions before I put out the money for a nice scanner. THANKS! Mickie

hi and welcome, i would guess that you have or would like to have an out door antenna??
if you could give me a general location and what tower you are close to for the wyolink system??
if wyolink it might be helpfull to get a vhf yagi and point it at the tower for better reception.
