I would like to get a portable scanner for use in Chicago. I live near US
Cellular field so I am not too sure about interferrence I might receive. I
am particularly interested in monitoring CPD, ISP and CFD. I am also
interested in monitoring Midway airport tower (assuming the distance isn't
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
