Digital scanners won't help you hear WAPol digital transmissions as they are encrypted.Todd wrote:... now like many others seeking info towards digital scanners im looking at getting.

Re: Undecided about Digital Scanners
It will help if you're listening to a broad range of frequencies. It won't if you're listening to a narrow selection. Discones have no gain. Handy if you're scanning VHF and UHF together. Not convenient for your car or mounted directly onto a handheldTodd wrote:…got a hold of a disk cone arial (It should help with reception yes?)
