This is the place to discuss generalized scanner questions and information for San Diego County. Whether it's radios, antennas, or other general scanner related topics, you can talk about it here.
I just purchased a Uniden 246 handheld scanner. Nice little unit but I live in the north County and I guess the services up here are digital and all I hear is noise when they come up. What make and model of a scanner either a base or handheld would work to hear those stations?
Not familiar with the Uniden Scanners, but the one you have should be able to monitor Escondido FD and North Comm formerly Rancho FD. You will need to purchase a digital for all North County law angencies excluding CHP. You also need digital to monitor Oceanside FD.
