It's a wonder she can even operate the on switch.
I bought my scanner 20 years ago from radio shack for around $300.00. A necessity as Our winters were brutal and I needed to know the road conditions for driving to work. Alone, taking side roads to cut out driving time on icey roads, we had no cell phones back then and going off road not plowed -----Well, I listened in on the plow drivers and their location and many a time followed a sanding truck to work.
I take it back to the Shack every 3 years or so and they reprogram it for me, so much has changed in two decades. What do I know about double and triple trunk so when the police change frenquencys I can follow and not miss a beat.
My mistake was buying a scanner that was not battery operated, in an ice storm and power went out it was as useless as tits on a boar.
