Hey all,
I'm looking for some info on what would be a good scanner to buy.
I'm looking for something handheld with a belt clip.
, hopefully it'd be not very expensive, and relatively accessible to program.
Accessibility isn't key, as I only need to program it once, but would be nice.
I'm using it to monitor emergency frequencies, but I don't need
digital capabilities, as my local fire and rescue guys are still on
analog.
I got a gig monitoring emergency frequencies for an independent
contractor who does immediate repairs on buildings that have been
damaged by fires and vehicle crashes. For the job itself, I only need
to monitor a few frequencies, so a scanner with a million slots would
be overkill.
I'm only gonna need about 10 to 20 frequencies programmed into it, so
even an old school scanner from the 90s would work.
I have a scanner in my shack, but it's a desktop model and can't be
carried around, and I shudder at the thought of having to use my
baofeng as a scanner. We all know how bad a scanner that thing makes.
If anybody has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Also, if anybody has a scanner like this lying around they'd be
interested in selling, I'm in the market.
thanks and 73,
Zach
