Hi all.  I am wanting to get a raido scanner this Christmas season.  But I'm not sure what
to get.  Raido Shack has a portable which sells for $299 which seems a bit overpriced seeing as
how thwy have another that sells for $199 which looks about the same, except it lacks some
frequencies in the 300MHz range.  Am I missing anything of major importance in the Akron area
lacking the 300 MHz range?

I am specifically looking for Metro RTA's frequency as well as perhaps Yellow Cab and things of that
nature.  I want a portable so that I can take it up to Cleveland when I go on outings and listen
to The Greater Cleveland RTA.  I know I could purchase a book from Raido Shack, but I'd rather
ask here as it may influence which model I purchase (or ask for :-) ) Can anyone offer any
shed of light?

Also I've read where the Akron Police were switching to someplace in the 800 MHz range.  Where
specifically?  Any online resources for Akron/Cleveland area frequencies?  (Even at last resourt
a FidoNet newsgroup?)
