Scanning Philly area

[Andyboyfire]

Hi all,

I am looking into buyin a digital scanner to listen to the Philadelphia FD. My first question is how far does this signal broadcast, would I be able to listen to Philadelphia FD from the Trenton area? What would be the best scanners out there, I have heard alot of good things about the Bearcat 396? Any info or input is much apprciated. Stay safe everyone.

You could always listen on eastcoast911.com or phillyfirenews.com . Philly FD signals dont travel very fall at all and trenton is a HUGE stretch.
