Scanner suggestions

[tzracer]

I am looking for suggestions for a scanner for at the track (MW, GP regions).

I've got a radio shack scanner. Too many buttons.

I've got a 30 channel Uniden I bought on e-bay a couple of years ago. Came with full cover headphones with individual volume controls on each side and a bag to carry everything.  I think it was about $80 including shipping.  Also works with a standard discman type earplug or earbud. I think Heather might have the same model.  When I waas looking Radio Shack was about $20 more.  I think they sell the Uniden at Wally World too.\

Mines a lot like this one - only has one headset though....  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40058&item=5770228311&rd=1


If you're interested in trying it at Blackhawk I'll bring it with me.  I probably won't use it working Tech/Grid.

What frequency range(s) should I be looking for? I had a scanner years ago, it either does not work or cannot pick up the frequencies that the tracks are now using.

I still have my Walmart Uniden--can't live without it.  I've dropped it from my pitbike 500 times and it still works great.

I have a Sony Wavehawk (no longer in production :( ). Picks up everything but cell phone and cordless phone frequencies (which any scanner made within the last 5-10 years or so wont due to law) and some restricted federal channels.

I got the Radio Shack one on sale.  If it weren't for Heather I wouldn't know how to use it.  Two frequencies are all I know, corner workers and PA.  I don't know the #'s.  I just push 1 or 2.  Hope they don't change them or I might as well sell it on Ebay.

Heather do you know which model Uniden it is?

Brian,

I believe it's the Uniden (Bearcat) BC60XLT.  It's a 30 Channel 10 Band portable scanner.  I picked up mine at a local Fleet Farm for around $95.00.

It works great.
