Anyone familiar with DIGITAL police scanners?
I'm trying to make a decision on a handheld scanner. I want to make sure it has the capabilities to pick up the transmissions that are digital, which is what a lot of the towns are using now. Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I should get? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Radio Shack and Uniden are the only digital scanners that I know of. I personally would go with the Radio Shack because you can get local support from them and they can help with programming and frequencies.
It is a myth that all police departments are going digital anytime soon. Many police/fire/EMS departments will stay analog for a long time because it costs a lot of money to change over the radio systems.
