I'm looking to purchase a new scanner (covering RR frequencies, obviously). And, yes, I've read "Buying your first scanner? Read me first!".
I'd like to hear suggestions on models currently on the market, good reception (I'm ok with replacing the rubber-duckie antenna with a new one if needed), ease of entering the AAR channels rather than typing in all 100 freq, and portable rather than something to need to mount.
Also, I know some can now be programmed with a cable so if one is compatible with a Mac, that would be even better.
I've read some reviews on line but found they were dated and the models are no longer made, including a "Relm"? that was considered the best railfan scanner.
Please post your recommendations. Thanks.
