Hi fellow hams,
I made a dumb purchase and its driving me stupid.
Just found out I can’t get my pasco county fire and police on this scanner i bought which is a radio shack pro 650
I was told it had to be a trunking radio and I don’t know what to get.
So would someone please advise me on the following:
1. Is there such thing as a trunking desktop police scanner that doesn’t cost as much as a car payment?
2. I live in a condo complex surrounded by iron railings, would this affect reception of a scanner? Probably not as I do have a radio shack handheld pro 92 scanner which works well. I just want a desktop unit.
3. are there any accessible desktop scanners?
I am really upset with my dumb purchase.
Thanks for any help.
Hugs and 73
