172 - Ask Scanner School v31

Free SDR Course! Our new free course will introduce you to Software Defined Radios. "The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Software Defined Radio: Everything you need to know to get started with SDR in an afternoon" is now open for enrollment.  Register now at https://courses.scannerschool.com --------------------------------------------------------------- Every month I answer your questions on the podcast.  You may submit questions at www.scannerschool.com/ask This month I answer: What do you feel are the minimum hardware requirements for an SDR to work properly?  Do you deal with setting up OP25 on a computer and SDR?  I'm in St. John's County, Florida. My current scanner is a BC125AT and will not receive fire or police. What kind of scanner do I need? Do you have any suggestions for one that isn't too expensive?  I have an SDS200 with screen flicker, and the unit's only two months old. Is this something I need to live with, or will this get worse over time? All session notes with links to the items we talked about can be found on our website at www.scannerschool.com/session172 --------------------------------------------------------------- Would you like 1 on 1 help?
