I=E2=80=99m right there with you...  I lost my =E2=80=9Cambulances=E2=80=9D=
 some years ago when they did a new system and turned off the repeater, tha=
t was a big bummer.. and now I=E2=80=99ve lost my state police, highway stu=
ff etc.. I guess another new scanner.. but I really struggled with the 346,=
 which I only got because the speaker in my 245 went.. but I=E2=80=99ve sin=
ce gotten a =E2=80=9Cbackup=E2=80=9D 245 =E2=80=93 only to not get my state=
 police anymore.. just local cities and towns..=20

Well =E2=80=93 if anyone has a good suggestion for a =E2=80=9Cnot too compl=
icated=E2=80=9D digital scanner, please shout it out.

Thanks much - Maggie

The Missouri Highway Patrol just went digital, so after having listened
to them for almost 30 years now I can't. :(
