: How effective are scanners in alerting the driver to highway

: My guess would be that a scanner would be off little value in alerting
: you to where a HP car might be unless you happened to hear that he was
: working an accident at a certain location.
:
: A CB radio transmission from a trucker will keep you better informed
: as to the "20" of a smokey.
:
: That's a big ten-four good buddy.
:
: The Uniden BCT8 would be good for a mobile scanner as it has less depth
than
: the BC780XLT, but their alert technolgy
: is a bit questionable. A patrol car could be off the highway on a side
road,
: or just parked in an area in a rest stop for work,
: and working an accident, or just on the side of the road at the rest stop,
: the patrol officer busy conducting an investigation of
: a fresh box of Krispy Kremes and coffee.
:
: How effective are scanners in alerting drivers to highway patrol cars? It
: depends on how you listen, as you'll need to listen
: for unit numbers and locations.The BC8 wouldn't be that dependenable.
:
: As for the scanner itself get a Uniden BC780XLT or a Radio Shack Pro-95
: portable. I have both and have one or other with me when I travel.
:
: And keep within +1 to no more than +10 MPH of the speed limit.
:
: There's a bear out there.
