[TrunkCom] Getting new digital scanner

Tue Mar 7 12:12:55 EST 2006

Wow!  I hadn't even thought of those functions.  Like I said the question
is how user friendly for the visually impaired, and the only reason why I
am holding onto my 250D is for LTR and EDACS narrow band.  I just got a
new GPS, and when I have gone out I don't take something to listen to on
the bus any more though I would like to take my 96 downtown once more to
see how well it works with the new add on for CQPSK,  and the 800 MHz
antenna I got, but for now the GPS is taking the majority of my them when
out and about.  Is there any word as to when or if Cleveland will go
APCO-25 from VSELP?
