Scanner

I am considering getting a scanner. I know NOTHING about them. Where do you buy them? I live in the Burnt Hickory area of 61 North. Am I too far out for one to pick up?

I posted in the other topic. Just go to scanpaulding.com and listen through your computer speakers. It costs nothing

 

If you do want to buy one, pretty much any electronics place, radio shack.

My dad got a good one off circuitcity.com and loves it. But I use the scanpaulding here at my house

Paulding does not use the NEW fancy trunked or digital radio systems so ANY scanner will work just fine, you should be able to find even a hand held one at radio shack for $ 60 - 80. The high end scanners ARE needed for Cobb, Dekalb and Atlanta but NOT Paulding or Douglas.

I picked up a Radio Shack Pro-95 handheld model a few years off of ebay. I can listen to the 800mhz systems that are in the area as well as Paulding LTR system. It also has enough channels to program for race day should I go to a NASCAR race.
