-> -> I am a complete newbie and would love some advice on what type of
-> -> scanner to start out with.  I interested in listening to just abou
-> -> anything interesting.  I would like the unit to work in my car as
-> -> well as my home.
->
-> I'd recommend a handheld scanner, Dave. Why? Here's a few reasons:
-> - easily portable
-> - use anywhere
-> - use during power failures
->
-> Now, you might need an external antenna in the car, but other than
-> that, it'll be fine. For a specific model, I'd recommend something
-> with 50 to 100 channels and 800 MHz coverage. The Uniden SportCat
-> SC150 is a good model. Other people on this group can recommend good
-> scanners for you from other manufacturers.
->
Thanks for the info.  I will put it to use!
Dave
