too far for a portable: about 5 miles).

Since CFD is testing digital and CPD has digital channels assigned is it
worth spending the money to go digital now or should I wait until they cut
over? *Who knows when that will be.

I am retired and money is limited, but I would rather buy what I need now
rather than buy something that will be useless in a year or two.

I would appreciate your opinions.

Thanks,
Joe
