What do I need in a scanner?
« on: September 15, 2007, 12:12:06 PM »
Hey guys, i'm looking to buy a new scanner for the following uses:

A) Listening in to drive-thrus ;)

B) Listening in to Chordless phones


So I had a few questions:

1) What are "channels" in a scanner?

2) How many do I need if I'm using this scanner for the previous uses?

3) Is there anything else I should look for in this scanner?

4) What else could I use this scanner for?

5) Will this one from radio shack work for my uses?

Thanks
