scanners for the track

VeNuM · 12-03-2002, 11:34 PM

Anybody recommend a good scanner (don't know the exact name, you can listen to the pit crews and drivers at the NASCAR races though them.) Xmas is coming up and I know my dad wants one. He said the Radio Shack one wasn't too his liking, but I'm not sure what is and want to surprise him. ~Brian

That is a great scanner, but for listening to the teams at the track, i like this one better:

Take care,

***edit***
As a footnote, the one I have now is just like Joe's, with a 1000 channel capacity (way too many). My first scanner was a sport cat, and it was better for racing because it gives you 20 Priority Channels, which cut's time searching when you have so many teams to listen to.

Where's a good place to buy the SC200? I've read about some of them, and that looks like the one I'm going to get. Beach Audio has them for just over $200, is this reasonable? ~Brian

These guys have it for $169:

By far the best price out there.

Take care,

Sushi is for people that don't know how to cook.

Okay, wait, I hate sushi, and I don't cook.

Hmmmmm.

Okay, sushi is for people that don't know how to cook, and can't find a drive-thru.

Take care,
