I thought I'd throw this on the table, as it applies to railfanning. When I file my federal and state tax returns, I'll get a combined total of over $250 in refunds. Because I traditionally spend such refunds on myself, I have thought about buying a handheld scanner, which is legal in NJ. My question is this: Because the railroads will eventually switch over to a digital communications systems in the near future, thus rendering scanners bought for railfanning purposes useless, would it be worth my while to invest in a scanner? A friend of mine, who lives in Orlando and whom I'll be visiting in May, says not to buy one BECAUSE of the impending changeover to the digital technology.
