Looking for some recommendations on a good digital scanner to purchase.
Anyone have any recommendations??
Portable or base/mobile? Big city or out in the sticks? 700 MHz?
Multi-site system?
How about a straight answer that covers the different options?
Big city (lots of signals)? Stay away from GRE (most Radio Shack
scanners) - the front end is too sensitive.
Multi-site? Uniden 996 is the only scanner that does it properly so
far. (The Pro-96/2096 sort of does it due to a bug in the firmware.)
700 MHz? Uniden 396 or 996.
Portable? 396 or Pro-96.
Base/Mobile? 996 or 2096.
