I about to go on vacation to Orlando area and I am trying to decide which scanner to bring because I am flying and not driving. I have both a BC 785D and a BC 245.
If Orlando and/or Orange Co is digital then I need my 785. Otherwise, I will bring my 245.
Your suggestions and comments will be most appreciated. Thank you.
Bring what you have, you'll be fine... the talkgroups on this site are by far and exceptionally the most accurate for the Orange / Orlando systems, enjoy! The only digital that you're going to listen to is the State of Florida and that's mostly traffic and speeders so no real need for digital... YET!
Oh before I forget, when you program up, program all Orange County related groups into a bank with only the SITE 1 channel info, program Orlando groups into a bank with only the SITE 5 channel info and you'll be better off, since it's SmartZone you can't afford missing calls since they might be broadcast only on one of the 2 systems. You're going to have to target your listening pattern.
