QUOTE: Originally posted by canazar Ok lots a questiosn about scanners... I figured I would start here and hopefully everyone chimes in with some story or info.... Buncha questions... All kinda tied together.. 1) How many use them? 2) How much can they help (mor eor less looking for personal stories here) too see if it worth it to get one. 3) If it is a good one, any type or brand that is good? Maybe a scanner that is popular among railfanners? Places to go to get one,( was thinking Radio Shack etc.) Budget minded is kinda important. Thanks... Best Regards John k[8D]

Some old Regency units had a whopping 0.015. 1.0 is an embarrassment for a fan, and was most often associated with Radio Shack units. I had a Bearcat once (0.04) and another fan had a Regency unit (0.015). Side by side, mine said nothing, his was constantly rattling off rail communications.
