Note to Mod - I am new, so I hope I am posting in an appropriate forum, this one seemed to fit the topic.
I know some of you guys are PD or FD affiliated, and that sure is a great reason to buy a scanner. I have different reasons for my recent interest.
I have not owned a scanner since my late teen and early 20's when I was affiliated with CAP, my scanner then was crystal dependent (Like my CB as well!). I am now in my 50's and crime, particularly violent crime has risen sharply. We had a reason to evacuate a few years ago (Train derailment with chemical spill) and while I got out in time, I sure would have loved to have the time to get more than our bugout bags - and a scanner would have given me up to 45 minutes more warning than we had.
I am not as young as I once was and hearing 'suspicious person' searches in my area is a heads-up because I am generally friendly when someone comes to my door (before say 10:30pm).
I don't expect to live life with my ear to a scanner speaker, of course, but it could honestly be critical, well-timed 'background noise'.
Well, that's it... I would be interested to hear your stories!
