Hey folks, a bunch of y'all know I'm in the towing & recovery business down here in South Texas. We run just south of San Antonio in Wilson, Karnes, and Dewitt county for Tx State Troopers and Wilson and Karnes for each counties Sheriff departments. It has been suggested to me by a deputy that's over the Wrecker Division that I might want to look at investing in a mobile scanner as they are about to tighten up on wrecker response times. The thinking here is that if we can hear the call on the scanner we can get headed that way before the call comes in over the phone to cut down our ETA. And being the only company that does Heavy Duty in Wilson county that extra jump will definitely help.
Here's the deal, I have no friggin' idea how to pick a scanner. Plenty of places on the WWW sells them but only one helps you select one for your geographical region as long as you allow them to bombard you with emails from 3rd party vendors and that ain't happening. So how do I go about this? Is anyone here knowledgeable in this arena? I don't just want to shoot in the dark and hope I hit something after spending a grip on a high end scanner....
