Gary,
Once you get your new radio, check out this site:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/scottish_scanning_group


And here in the States , this site is a great resources.

http://www.strongsignals.net/index.cgi

If you were posting from across the pond, it would help to
go to the FREQUENCY and TRUNK boards. Look down the bottom
of th boards, below the message pain, to see what types of systems are on the
air in your area.

The links to other sites, at the bottom of the boards may support
international
radio work , so look down there!

Its an Alinco DJ-X3. Is this any good? Should arrive Tuesday. Will be
