    Just sharing a memory here... My father in law had a scanner sitting
    by his chair for as long as I knew him. It was replaced and
    upgraded over the years, but was there in 1983 when I started
    dating my wife and was there in June of 2023 when he died
    in the chair.

    Over that time a lot of the departments went digital and
    he couldn't hear them anymore, but he still kept it going.

    I gave him some frequencies of repeaters to put in for
    HAM traffic, but local stuff is so sporadic...

    I will be putting his 40' tower with antennas to good
    use soon. I'm getting BACK into HAM and want a unit
    at home. I'll not be using his antennas, of course, unless
    I can modify for ham use? HMMM...
