Hope this is in the right section,if not forgive me. I'm interested in getting a scanner for the house but really have no clue as to what I would need. I'm in Henry county and would like to be able to pick up Lee,Des Moines, Jefferson, Van Buren,Keokuk, Washington and Louisa Counties. I have some of the counties programmed into my personal radio that I use for the FD but some don't come in well on them and I don't like tying up my radio all the time if I'm listening to stuff.
Is this something that can be achieved with a hand held scanner or do I need a base model? What about an antenna? I'd really rather not have to mount one on the roof of my house but I imagine that I'm probably asking to much out of either a hand held or base model.
Thanks
