Old School trying to get my head around New Tech

Thanks Phantom for your comments.
I have a great collection of adaptors / converters / fittings from other projects I am sure I will have something. In relation to the GPS do you have any idea how effective it would be for scanning when traveling if you don't have the right frequencies.

I personally don't know, however I am sure there is someone on here that will be able to assist your question re GPS

I believe it is used to 'turn off and on' frequencies you already have programmed depending on your location. It will not magically find unknown local frequencies from the GPS.

However, close call would be a good friend whilst in 'unknown' areas, same as the ACMA database

The scanner will come with a converter to BNC, just make sure you have a male BNC connector on the end of your antenna cable.
