Digital scanners won't help you hear WAPol digital transmissions as they are encrypted.

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 handheld
