Larger cities are going digital, but most smaller ones are still analog. I have several scanners that by todays standards are out of date. RS Pro-2006, Pro 2021, Pro-51, 2 Pro-2026 and a few others.. I still have lots to listen to on them.


If you are concerned about it, buy a used one at a Hamfest (do a search for Hamfest they are going on all the time, almost every weekend of the year) Or you could buy one off e-bay, but the prices on e-bay are higher then a Hamfest.
