[Scan-DC] Scanner Hobby 2018

[Joel Kahn]

Greg (et al):I have been in the hobby almost 20 years longer than you!Back in the day, my first radio was in the car, connected between the car radio & antenna so I could manually tune VHF to hear DC Fire & PD channels or select one of two crystals. You had to mail order a crystal for whatever freq. You wanted and wait 2-3 weeks.  I still have 2 8 channel crystal Unidens.
I agree that the hobby has become more expensive and there is much less to monitor thanks to encryption, but as long as MoCo, PG & DCFD 'stay in the clear' I am going to listen.
I know someone who still enjoys listening to railcar counters & taxi cabs....Jon!
In summary, I agree that while it is not as much fun as it used to be, we still have a viable hobby for now.
