In this section tell us about you or the person who will be using the scanner. Most importantly we need to know where the radio will be used and how large an area will be scanned.*Note that some areas of the country use state-of-the-art digital radio systems that require the most expensive scanners while other areas use basic FM (analog) radio systems which can be monitored using a low-end scanner.
