A friend got a RS 2040 for Christmas and she's thinking about returning
it for a hand held model.  She asked me to get some feedback for her.
If you could have one scanner, would it be a hand held or a base model,
and why.
What would be the best hand held from RS, not necessarily the most
expensive?
Do the double conversion scanners made now eliminate the cell/cordless
phone intrusion on police frequencies?  The salesman tried to tell me
that this was no longer a problem as the scanners now are made to not
pick these up, but I don't think he understood exactly what I was
asking.  So is the triple conversion still the way to go to minimize
this?
There is now a scanner that has no gaps in the frequency range.  Is this
desirable?  How do they then prevent cell/cordless phone monitoring?
Are there any other points to carefully consider when choosing a
scanner?  We know it has to include the 800 band.  Anything else?
Thanks very much for helping here.  My friend wasn't aware that scanner
enthusiasts are all in one place like this and they have considerable
expertise.  This will help a lot.
