Hi, not sure if this is the correct section to place this enquiry.

 

I am looking to buy a scanner to receive police, fire, ambulance etc. Am looking for a home unit. I live in rural New Zealand. Any suggestions or direction will be most appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

And if its online, and called a baofeng. It is NOT a scanner.

They're HAM transmitter's being sold with false pretenses/descriptions

Rural you'll be better with an external antenna. But as above, may also be in an encrypted digital area.

There are few desktop models outside the UBCt8 or US car din units (which may have different band cover)
