Hi.,...I'm a newbie to scanning. I want to be able to listen to my local
emergency services--police, fire--which I known are trunked. Are there any
inexpensive, possibly portable scanners, that will allow me to do this? Are
there any good websites where I can learn about scanning so I have some idea
as to what i'm talking about Thanks.

Another good website is www.radioreference.com
