  thank you, Jim.
  I would like to listen to air (I live near Republic airport and I am in the glide path for either JFK and LGA) , police, fire, hams, Coast Guard.
  I live right on the border of Nassau/Suffolk.
  What is PL/DPL? .

  I'm in Jersey, No Problem with analog NYPD, aircraft, marine, Jersey local PD/FD non trunking or non digital.

  If you are in LI and want Suffolk PD you want a trunking scanner.

  The VR500 also lacks PL/DPL. 

  What do you want to listen to?

  Hi,
  I just joined the group and have not had a chance to research prior
  messages. I live in the Metro NY area (Long Island) and read somewhere
  on the I-net that an individual who had this unit could not pull
  anything in, and then he purchased an Icom R5 and had no problems. 

  Does anyone live in my area? Do you have reception/interference
  problems? 

  thank you.

  Ira
