Great Video*** I Got into the Scanner Hobby in 2004. it's a Fun and Great Hobby to Learn and Meet People. The Guys at my HRO Store are Awesome. I Finally got my Uniden SDS100 a Week ago and Boy is it a Super Scanner. I Love that Scanner. Also for a Scanner under 150 Dollars, I Believe the Uniden BC125AT is the Best out there. Enjoy Your Channel and Have Fun Everyone with this Great Hobby***
Glad I found you guys I've been looking all over the RRDB and can't get any help with programming my bcd536 scanner with my children s school who use the nxdn , this is the first video I watxhed from your channel so I haven't yet checked if you already have the answers to my nxdn programming problems, but I gotta leave this question now before I forget. Thanks in advance.
Wichita kansas Sedgwick county! Thank you! Budget is 300 max too! I have the ai force base here too and I live in south Wichita so my area is also Haysville and Derby on the south side and South Wichita. Thank you 😊
Hi.....I'm an Amateur Radio Operator. I have a handheld DMR radio and hotspot, will that work for anything? I'm moving to Anchorage, AK soon. Money isn't too much of a concern. What scanner do you recommend? Thanks.
With encryption on the rise, is it even worth shelling out hundreds of dollars for the better stuff nowadays? My county (Clark NV) is losing agency year after year to the big E. I've got a 325 and have been wanting the SDS for that sweet simulcast decoding. But that big E scares me...
We should assume that all new radio systems will be going encrypted, especially if it is P25, Edacs, or Province. Yes, VHF, UHF, and HF can also be encrypted. Some frequencies have been for many years. Think about all the TAC channels. Usually, it is done when agencies switch to a trunking system. If you have a Uniden SDS 100 or 200, you can pick up trunked channels as long as they are not encrypted. If you have a Uniden BC125AT, you won't be able to pick up any trunked channels as this scanner is only analog and does not receive any digital channels. You have to do plenty of research to learn if the scanner you want will work in the area in which you want to listen. Lucky for me at least as of now, I have good success with the BC125AT, as the areas in which I listen to are still using unencrypted HF, VHF, and UHF. It is a large rural area that has networks of repeaters. If I drive 15 miles to a different county, all the communication is digital, so I don't receive any local to that area transmissions. I do receive Simulcasted medical and fire on analog channels. This does help somewhat in identifying the are where the emergency is and I can reroute long before Waze tells me to. I hope that this offers some of you some help. I know that when I got back into scanning it was a bit of a learning curve. Lucky that I had a Uniden BCT 7 Beartracker from almost 30 years ago as a base station. It was receiving non-stop. So, I decided to get back into the hobby.
Great information on scanners. I an a newbie to all of this a would like to purchase a scanner to monitor my local police,, sheriff and fire comms. My local agencies are Beaufort city , SC Police and fire, Beaufort County, SC Sheriff, Beaufort County fire. What would be your suggestion for a unit that would allow me to do this? Thank you.
I will be replying to comments as soon as I am healthy enough to reply to them via video. I’ve been battling Stage 4 cancer and it hasn’t been a quick or easy battle.
@@ScannerSchool Good Luck. I am battling Pancreatic Cancer since I was diagnosed in March. I was going through chemo but the tumor grew from 5.0cm to 6.8 cm. Now I have started radiation therapy. The surgeon has to shrink the tumor so that he has room to remove it. The pain is also unbearable. I've not much to do but play with my radios now, and try to offer some help to people. I wish you a good outcome. My doctors keep everything quiet from me.
