They are looking at OPEN SKY which can't be trunk
tracked by any hobby scanner radio available at this time!
You will find more on this in regards to Pennsylvania
which is using this system!

I'm thinking about purchasing a new scanner.

The one I have now is a handheld, probably about 8 years old, Radio
Shack 200 channels, 1.3GHz, Hyperscan Pro-26 with an antenna bought
separately (RH77CA Diamond).

I would prefer a desktop scanner that will scan around 400 channels or
possibly more. I would be willing to spend around $300 or so.

I would like the scanner to pick up the basic stuff: police, fire,
ambulance, security, city, also if it were to pick up baby monitors or
the occasional cordless phone would be interesting. : )

Can someone please recommend brands, model #'s?

I'm in the suburbs of Detroit (Oakland County). Is there anywhere
(besides a Radio Shack), that anyone could recommend making a
purchase? I would like to buy a new one a.s.a.p. instead of waiting
for an online delivery. If not, can someone recommend a good online
store?

Thanks in advance !!
