[ScanIndiana] What kind of scanner to use?

[ronnielu]

I have a radio shack pro 96 scanner and a safe-t motorola x5000 radio for 
safe t-. radio shack is professional because if I have them both on the 
audio quality is the same. Can't tell if its the radio shack scanner or 
professional motorola radio on digital... I am also a ham and been around 
radios since the early 70's. you won't be able to tell the difference in 
audio quality with the radio shack vs motorola.    ron
