Re: Police Scanner Purchase??
Information for your area seems limited, but it doesn't appear they use a trunked radio system. It appears to be a conventional 800MHz system. If that is the case, then a Uniden BC95XLT may work for you. It runs about $109 U.S. from Scanner Master. However, if I may, I would recommend the BC246T. It runs $209 U.S. but the added price will allow you to monitor trunked systems if there are any in your area. And, since a lot of areas do use trunked systems, you'll be able to hear a lot more when you go on a trip somewhere.
