I'm new to scanners and would like a reasonably priced unit to listen to
local police, fire, Coast Guard and so forth.
I am located on Eastern Long Island N.Y. as a reference point.

I was initially interested in a base unit, but the portables are starting
to look like a better choice for obvious reasons.

I've read that RS scanners need to go back to the Shack for software
upgrades?

Will the Pro95 do digital?

What are the bad points of this particular model?

Any other models I might want to look at in the same price range?

Sorry for all the questions but I have been surfing, including the yahoo
Pro95 group which seems very nice.
