How to Scan Under a Budget with Nathan McMullan

Nathan joins the podcast today to discuss how he is able to enjoy the scanning hobby while sticking to a budget.

 


 

What you need to know

Getting start with scanning or sticking with the hobby on a limited budget can be a bit tricky.
With today’s high end scanners costing several hundreds of dollars, monitoring your local trunk systems can be a bit of a drain on your wallet.
Today’s guest, Nathan McMullan,  talks about how he is monitoring all his local activity, including a P25 Simulcast solution all on a budget.
We will be covering a lot of what Nathan and I spoke about in our SDR Workshop course.

    What about AOR (Authority on Radio) scanners? I’m understanding AOR’s are high quality receivers but not so good with digital modes and trunking. Is there a work around? Perhaps an aftermarket software package that will bring AOR’s up to the same level as Whistler’s?
