[TheList] TheList Digest, Vol 109, Issue 9

Fri Jan 25 09:24:40 AEDT 2019

I'm considering picking up another scanner - my UBC245XLT seems to have RFI
problems on precisely the frequencies i'm most interested in - but as it
lives in my vehicle, something with the ability to take external power is
critical. Looks like the EZI30 is strictly battery only, which is a shame,
as it looks like I have to spend nearly $200 more for a better-featured
model (and this is not in my budget presently!)
