Could anyone recommend a reasonably priced scanner that can pick up APCO

that mode - so with my "old" scanner, I have NO idea what's going on in

anymore! Reason for wanting a cheapie is that EVERY OTHER department in
the
area is analog and I can monitor them just fine with my Bearcat 9000XLT
(which I love!). So, basically looking for a 2-channel P25 unit - heh.
Thanks in advance.

For digital scanners, cheap doesn't go together.

You're looking at $400 or so. Granted I haven't kept up with non
Uniden scanners, but anything Uniden and digital is going to be $400
or more.

And so I'm gathering in doing further research online. The P25 card to pop
into one of these high-end Unidens is almost $200 alone! There are a few
used P25-ready scanners on eBay going for around $200 --- that's probably my
best bet.
