You might try filters to handle pager intermod. The Wiki covers it and lists some companies.

But, don't those fail as scanners? Great receivers, poor scanners.

Well, it's hard to answer without knowing what one truly expects out of a scanner; my answer: yes. The scanning speed is slower. Tone search is slower/a generation behind. Basically, you lack a lot of the frills scanners come with. They're definitely not marketed as scanners.
Unfortunately you can't have one communications receiving device that will do it all. It's not made. Even Motorola radios scan slowly. I run my ICOM PCR2500 alongside a GRE500. Where one fails, the other takes over.
