Hello all
I am so confused with reviewing all these scanners. Years ago I had a bearcat scanner. So easy to program. Wife wants to listen to local PD department and fire. As I was doing some research I discovered that most of my state(MA) is analog. However they are starting to change over to "trunk". My local police department I found out swithed to a digital freq. It's a 8 digit number. So my question is do I need a digital scanner. Some of the scanners are over 400 dollars. So confused. I like the brand uniden. I was looking at the bst15x or radio shack pro-163. I feel if I am going to invest in one I should at least buy something that I can hold on to a bit. Please some one help me. Thanks
