Hello all!
My first post! Happy to be here. I am a spotter from Central Iowa. I have a question about scanners. First I'll give you the run down on my spotting vehicle for Skywarn.
98 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4
Mobile Threat Net
RAM mount
Toshiba Lap Top running XP
basic CB
Just the basics. I was looking to get a good (and cost effective) scanner to use for listening in on local Ham and Emergency agencies.
I was looking at the Uniden BC355C 800MHz 300-Channel ($88) it seems like a pretty good deal, just curious what you guys thought. Also looking for a decent magnet base antenna for it, any suggestions?
I do plan to get my Ham license one day, but not anytime real soon. Maybe for next season.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and hope you guys can help point me in the right direction.
Thanks again!
Matt
