I'm in need of some expert advice, I've been out of the scanner game for
some years and would like to get back into this hobby, however I've found
that my old equipment is now obsolete in this new DIGITAL Age.



I would like to be able to monitor the Phila, Pa. area Police and Fire as
well as the Bucks and Montgomery PD/FD what do I need to succeed in this
endeavor??



I know Bearcat has a scanner that requires the use of plug in cards
depending on which system the municipality is using and GRE (Radio Shack)
has one that does not need cards, but that's about all I know on the
subject.



I would like to get a portable as well as a base unit that hopefully would
be able to receive all of the above municipalities, without extra cards or
other additional equipment. Just need to know what if any would work, where
to get them and how much it's going to cost to enter the Digital Age of
Scanning.



Any help would be much appreciated,



Thanks,



Jim
