What scanner would someone get to monitor both old type and rebanded systems?
Some of my local systems have rebanded and others have not. How would I be able to listen to both?
There are few P25 systems here.

Uniden BCD396XT is a good choice.

So that would let me monitor both the old type systems and the new rebanded systems together?

A scanner which can monitor rebanded systems will also monitor non-rebanded systems. I purchased a PSR-300 which can handle the analog stuff. But for P25 you need a digital scanner, which I'd recommend the PSR-500 by GRE. Note that the Radio Shack PRO-106 is the SAME scanner, but support is much slower. My GRE came with accessories that RS does not include (they want to sell them to you separately).
