Need a police scanner "expert"

XR6Naranja · 07-01-2013, 03:41 AM

Hey guys,

I'm looking at police scanners on eBay but unsure what to get, I am not an expert on scanners at all.

I've read up the laws and have seen that it's legal to have and listen to but it's illegal to interfere with police work, also illegal to have radar scanners.

Basically we had one up in the NT and when it was flooding or any other emergency the scanner was the first one to inform us of what was happening in the town, it saved a relatives furniture from being wrecked over night.

We've moved to NSW and no longer have the old one, I've searched a bit and have realized there's analog ones and digital ones, ones with trunked and ones without, I'm not really sure which is the best to buy so far I've come up with getting one that has analog/digital/trunked and that'll allow me to receive the best I possibly can.

Any help is appreciated, cheers.
