Colin,
Thanks for the input. I looked up Uniden, GRE and Whistler through
Google and have come to the conclusion that times have changed since
i last bought a scanner!! Our local police have gone trunked but our
fire and village services are still vhf analog. i hate the idea that
I will have to use the computer to program a new scanner but know
that it is something I will have to deal with!!
Amateur and scanner computer interfaces are something I have resisted
- and i feel a generation behind the crowd, but I guess i will have
to bite the digital bullet an just do it!!
Thanks.
