Default Looking for easy to use police scanner

I'm looking for an easy to use 1st police scanner. I'm watching for a
deal on a used Uniden BC246T or BC346XT on ebay. Is the BC346XT worth the
extra bucks for a beginner like me?


First you need to decide what you want to listen to. Radio reference would
help. You need to find out what kind of systems you want to listen to.
Assuming it's a trunked system and not digital it's not really "hard" but it
can be very trying to first set one up reading the manual. Te manuals always
seem to be written to people that already know how. Places like this and the
Yahoo groups will be a GREAT help here. if you get stuck, help is easy to
find.
