hello,
im new on radioreference but not new with scanners. i have moved to alaska view years ago and recently bought an older analog scanner the realistic pro 2005. i really like this scannerand paid 50$ for it but i have noticed i cannot hear the police or state troopers only ems and fire and other analog signals. my burning question is, if i purchase a digital scanner will i be able to listen to the state troopers, police, DOT and such departments that are digital now?
if i can listen to them again what or which scanner is recommended. i have been looking at the radioshack pro 106 cause this time i want a handheld so i have it on the go. these digital scanners are some what pricy but if it will work for the new digital systems police and troopers are using i am willing to pay somewhat more and then be goodagain forquite a few years.
thank you for reading my post
