Back into scanning

Hi Guys,

I have had an absence from scanning for the last few months.
Now I am back and looking for another scanner! :)

The one's that stand out so far are;
Icom IC-R5
Uniden UBCT9
Yaesu VR120D

Looking to spend around <$400

Now I am wondering what trunk tracking is, and how effective it is on the uniden scanner I listed above. Also, are there any handheld trunk tracking scanners on the market? I just cannot recall seeing any as of yet...

Your thoughts are welcome...

Michael

There are trunk tracking handhelds around. I have a Uniden UBC396T and it works a treat. (Should, nearly a grands worth). Tricky Dicky havve a slightly cheaper trunk tracker but still around $600 new. Have a hunt around E-Bay as Uniden trunk traker II handhelds are around.
