Hello Everyone,
I am seeking some recommendations for a mobile/automotive scanner. I currently have a Uniden BCD996P2, Uniden BC340CRS, Uniden BC278CLT, X3 Uniden BC60XLT-1's, and 1 Baofeng UV-5R that I have programmed as an analog frequency scanner. I use the first 3 mentioned above as my base/home scanners, with the BCD996P2 handling only local & state law enforcement and the BC340CRS handling my local Fire/Rescue/EMS upstairs and the BC278CLT as a backup handling my local Fire/Rescue/EMS in my basement/garage. I would like to have the ability to scan both Law enforcement and Fire/Rescue/EMS in my vehicle. I have used the BC60XLT's, and they work great for Fire/Rescue/EMS, but are not capable of receiving the P25 digital Law enforcement frequencies of my county. I thought about purchasing a second BCD996P2 to install in the vehicle I drive the most, but I was hoping to save a few bucks and have been looking at a refurbished Whistler WS1065. A local business that I know uses this scanner and it seems to receive very well. I was concerned that it doesn't seem to have the ability to receive Phase II P25 transmissions. If anyone out there is currently running a Whistler WS1065, could you please let me know your thoughts on it? Programming isn't an issue for me and I don't care about brand or model, as long as I am able to program it to monitor both analog and P25 digital simultaneously. Thank you everyone in advance for any input!
