I know the FD agency I work with uses UHF conventional DMR radios and I can at least receive signal occasionally on my... Read more View article »

I'll give you my first impressions below, but first will let you know a bit of my radio backgroud. The first scanner I bought was the Radio Shack Pro-90 way back in the day, so I've been at this for a while now. I've owned mostly Uniden scanners, with the occasional GRE thrown in there, too.
