Looking at things from multiple angles may help you think about whether it is time for you to consider upgrading a scanner.
Do you want a new scanner because it’s time to buy something new, or is it needed to keep up with changes to your local systems?
What You Need To Know
- There are things outside of our control dictating whether or not we need to upgrade our scanners.
- For example, when rebanding happened here in the US, many of us needed new scanners that would support rebanding.
- Paying for a DMR or NXDN upgrade might be a nice upgrade if you already have supporting hardware.
- Size matters. Upgrading into a “pocket scanner” might interest you if you are always carrying a radio around.
- Scanning is a hobby. Learning, growing, and investing in equipment is what a hobby is all about.
- The secondary market can be a great place to purchase radios, that were too expensive when new, at a more affordable price today.
