WA Radio Scanner Users' Group

Thanks for the info...

That hand held unit does sound quite nice.
What would there be to pick up in a country southwest area using it's frequency bands:
"25-88, 108-174 and 400-512 MHz"?
-emergency services (firefighters)
-security guards
-ham radio operators
?????

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the link...Nothing wrong with saving $50!

Are hand held scanners cheaper than this scanner?
Even if not - what is a good, cheap hand held that is available for what i want?

I want to start of listening to police frequencies - because it sounds interesting...

Cheers

Hello,

I would really like to get into scanning as a hobby...
I am thinking of purchasing the " UNIDEN UBC355XLT " from dicksmith: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/D1976/uniden-ubc355xlt

Has anyone had any experience with this scanner?
Is it a good cheap scanner for a beginner?
And will it pick ...
