Hey everybody!
I am new to the amateur radio world. After listening to many scanner streams on the net ive decided to acquire my own.
I live in Montreal CDN-NDG. Im especially interested in police frequency but the more variety in coverage the better of course. I understand i'll be needing digital, trunked scanners now that the police is planning to/or already using digital. I realize digital is more expensive but it seems like this is where a lot of radio users are heading so..
I'd like to have something under $300 ideally, and portable. Any recommendations? Im ready to buy used as well.
I thought of getting something like the BC346XT from Uniden since it seems so common.
I realize posts like this come back a lot (I already read some of the other posts like the one from Kiwi: http://forums.radioreference.com/quebec/229986-help-choose-radio-montreal-county.html) but wanted to get some personnal feedback as i have no idea what im doing.
Thanks!
