My county in FL went digital and my HP1 scanners no longer picked them up. Been looking at the SDS100 but so expensive. I think I spoke with Joe who assured me this scanner would pick up what I wa ted so made the decision to buy it. Had them program it and ot was shipped same day. Scanner worked right out of the box and recieved mtly county FD. Made the purchase from Zip Scanners due to the great cistomer service!
