Band specific radios will always outperform a widebanded radio as mentioned above. Audio on scanners has always been a sore point with those of us that use them. By the way, the PD, FD, and other systems you want to listen to are on the VA STARS P-25 digital system. You will need one of the newer digital scanners to listen to those frequencies. For any of my VHF listening, I use a Yaesu VX-170 2m HT, my IC-2720, or by Yaesu FT-1500. Big difference in receive and audio than a scanner.
