So a Pro97 or a Uniden 246 or 330 (or even a Pro95) will do just fine. Whichever scanner you decide to get, get the programming cable (Unidens come with one) and some programming software (there are trial versions of the good ones, Uniden, ARC and Starrsoft). Thanks for the reply/info. I'm thinking of starting with a PRO-2052 since they are on sale for a hundred bucks right now. It sounds like that will work for now then. It has the serial in/out so that I can program it and get the frequency info for streaming (so the wife and I can both listen and see frequency info from work). Now you have me thinking though, the pro97 is not much more expensive and it's pretty portable. I wonder if I'll actually utilize the ability to grab the frequency info for streaming.. or maybe the portability would be better... *sigh* decisions... decisions.. I figure after I get "hooked", I'll be looking for something a little nicer, but if one of these will work for now, that's cool. Thanks again! |
