[crazyVOLVOrob]

I just bought the Uniden BCD396T but kind of regret the fact that i did not buy the BC296D since I had the BC250D and am familiar with that scanner

is OH digital?

I am surprised NY isn't digital by now

If you are looking to get a scanner to help avoid tickets, I recommend the Unden Beartracker BCT-8. There are "better" scanners out there though, depending on how you plan to use it etc etc...

I have the BCT-8 and it has helped me out. I dont have to deal with VASCAR here so I wouldnt know about that one to much. Its a great scanner, I have nothing to compare it with since it is my 1st one. If you have any questions about it, shoot em to me, ill be more than happy to help you out

It is a very nice small compact unit and a permanent install which is good. But what do you used for an antenna if you have a Corvette? :shock:

Depends on what you want to listen to

The best scanner? Depends on what you will be listening to and what frequencies your police are on. The BCT-8 (they have other BCT models) is a preprogram scanner (also programable) so if you do state to state travel. But you will have to consider if you need a digital scanner, trunktracking scanner, a pre-program scanner. The BCT models are very nice and small mobile radios. But you they are limited. If you go with the latest non-digital there is a Pro-97 (handheld) from RS that was on sale for 149. This is a triple trunking 1000 channel scanner and covers all bands including military air, marine band and does conventional scanning, (not digital) trunking, and you can program it to your personal needs. Note your scanner is only as good as the antenna so get a good antenna. (Antenna Specialists Mon 51 magnet mount) You have choices of types of mounts.
