Best Digital Police Scanners

What Police Scanner Should I Buy?

The most popular scanners, by far, are digital phase 2. These scanners allow you to hear all the action in any location. View specific recommendations for your area; we highly recommend a digital phase two as all U.S. communication is migrating to digital phase two format if it has not already done so in your area.

To help narrow your search, 90% of all scanners sold are handheld digital phase two which include software. Handheld models cost less, can be used anywhere, offer the same reception range & features as base or vehiclemodels. We highly recommend buying a model that comes with software & frequencies as these are much easier to operate and a computer science degree is not required.

It’s easy to spend hours researching scanners to find minute differences that 99.9% of users will never use (start going down the rabbit hole). Click on any product page & scroll down to the ‘Specifics & Compare’ tab to see differences between scanners. Or, ask a pro now; we’re into this stuff & love helping folks like you.
