4. I have NO interest in Fire, EMS and suburban Police or low band traffic,
5. Knobs you can access without tweezers and a display you can see without a magnifying glass,
6. Banks of only 20-40 channels each,
7. Interested in receiving: Railroads, City, State and Federal services, Marine, some business, some Military aircraft and trunking ability.
I haven't kepted up with all these new 'digital' scanners especially since my area really doesn't have any of those new APCO (or whatever they are called) services.
Suggestions please.

1. Not going to find to many scanners with intermod rejection on VHF.
2. See (3). Also, GRE PSR-600 and the RS version: Pro-197 are other mobiles that will receive what you are looking to monitor.
3. Uniden makes a remote control head for the BC15, BC396, BC996, BC396XT, BC996XT.
5. Most new analog and digital scanners operate well without tweezers
Most have decent displays that are backlit.
6. Most new scanners don't have banks anymore. They use either Dynamic Memory Assignment, or, Object memory.
7. Railroads are still analog, most city, state, and federal agencies are going digital trunked, or, digital conventional. Marine is still analog. Businesses are mostly analog. Military aircraft is analog UHF AM mode.
