[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4229223, member: 42567"] Yes, having a real scanner is much better than relying on the internet. I have several Uniden digital trunking scanners, and they averaged about $125 each because they are several years old. However, I can monitor the Tulsa metro area. You can hear things as they happen, with no delay. Broadcastify does have a delay of about one minute, and the app crashes frequently on me. I keep a small dual-band ham radio antenna (2 meter and 70 cm bands) on the back of my car, and the scanner works very well when traveling. I also keep a multi-band car mount antenna in the house and get excellent results. I use a Uniden BCT 125 to listen to the local repeaters, the CB frequencies, and air traffic. I have an attic j-pole for that one. If you just want to hear local traffic (communications), the Unidens are all that you need. [/QUOTE]
