One thing to watch for; the Milcom equipment wiki listed a
review on the 2045 by Rich Wells on the Strong Signals website. He did notice some weak images (more likely mixing products, since images are not easy to generate on a scanner that has triple conversion) in the VHF Civil air band. Otherwise, he generally liked the scanner. Check out the link (in blue) for more details.

[edit] Our wiki has a
page which cross references numerous scanners, their wiki page (if they have one), Strong Signals, EHam reviews all categorized by the kind of scanner (mini handheld all the way to PC based receivers). If you're interested in other scanners, this is the place to start.
