Scanner School - Everything you wanted to know about the Scanner Radio Hobby

Finally - not one, but TWO new scanners from Uniden.

Should we be excited about these two new radios, or should we pass on them?

That all depends on your location and your needs.

See, these scanners break the mold and give us something we've never seen before

A scanner radio, with no trunking, no P25, but supports DMR and NXDN.

Who is this radio for?

The answers are in this week's podcast.

Scanner radios, with some small exceptions, come in two form factors. Handheld for portable use, or desktop/mobile for single location installations.

Which type of scanner is right for your needs?

If you are looking for your first or next scanner and can't decide between a handheld or desktop scanner, I have 5 reasons why you should consider a portable radio.

Like it or not, digital is here to stay.

Why are more agencies and licenses digital instead of analog?

Should you upgrade right now or do you wait?

And no... it always doesn't have to do with encryption.

And this does not mean it's the end of the scanner radio hobby. Not by a long shot!

Be part of the action!

Hear breaking news reports directly from an eye in the sky.

Receive your traffic updates every minute or two instead of when the local FM Radio Station wants to cycle the traffic reports every 10 minutes.

Monitoring Traffic and News helicopters is usually something you can monitor with an analog only scanner.

But as is the case in some locations, what you can and cannot listen to may vary based on where you live.

Using your favorite flight tracking app or website, you can also set up notification to alert you when media helicopter are airborne and possibly on the scene of breaking news.

Patients who run out of patience.

Missing kids, life saving alerts, and routine messages.

Hospitals can be exciting to monitor! You never know what might come next.

And as many of you know, I had a short stay in a hospital a few months ago. Finding those frequencies and talk groups were not as easy as looking at Radio Reference. The hospital I was staying at was not in the database. This podcast explains how I was able to find those frequencies and talkgroups.

In addition, we had a few emergency room visits with no warning in the distand and recent past. Having a radio already programmed for a local hospital could be handy to have.

This coming weekend, the 4th Saturday of June, Field Day. An annual test of emergency preparedness in the amateur radio community and a contest to see how many other stations you can make contact with in 24 hours.

Tom Dean, KC2SJM, joins us today to speak about how much fun he is having on amateur radio, without the need to advance beyond the technician class license.

Tom speaks all over the word and is active in his local community. Helping the Red Cross during drills, local races and hamfest, and enjoying the local ham radio community.

If you are interested in amateur radio and hear this podcast before the weekend, check out http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator to find a local group in your area. You don't need to be an active ham or licensed to stop by a club and check it out.

Tom can be reached on twitter at https://www.twitter.com/kc2sjm
