He's in the local volunteer fire department, and though he carries a smaller hand-held scanner provided by the department I'd love to get him something larger and something with more features. I checked http://www.cityfreq.com/ and it shows my brother's VFD frequency is 154.22 so I need something that'll hit that plus hopefully the other area departments plus city, county, and state police departments if possible. I know next to nothing about scanners, so I'm not even sure if this is possible now'days. I'm looking at the Radio Shack PRO-2018 scanner, and according to the specs it will do my brothers' VFD's frequency. Any pros or cons to this one or any suggestions on another model? Here's a link via tinyurl - http://tinyurl.com/3kste Thanks for comments or suggestions. Might help to tell us what STATE he's in so to make a proper suggestion - i.e. he may need trunked, or may not. Evan -- To reply, remove TheObvious from my e-mail address. Hi Evan, Just a follow-up. I went to Radio Shack today during lunch and bought the PRO-2018 scanner. I did lots of research on newsgroups and other sites, and all had positive feedback on this little scanner. It doens't do digital, but my brother can take this back and exchange it for a digital model if he wants that feature. They started at around $160 or so. I can always take it back if someone else has other ideas, but with Christmas being a week away I didn't want to wait too long. Thanks for any feedback or comments. Ringo |
