Replacing BC245XLT?

Any suggestions of which scanner I should purchase to replace a BC245XLT. It appears that rebanding has limited the BC245XLT. I primarily want to receive trunked Kansas CIty Missouri police but also surrounding trunked and non-trunked police and fire. I don't need any super fancy features just a good basic scanner like my BC245XLT used to be.

I would say the closest thing to a BC245XLT is the BC246T. Nice scanner. I have one and really like it.

BC346XT recently replaced the BC246T. You should note that rebanding won't affect the BC245XLT's ability to receive the KCMO system, as it is EDACS. All you need to do is reprogram it with the new frequencies. However, if you also monitor (or want to monitor) Independence MO 's system, you'll need a digital scanner like the BCD396XT (can't avoid the bells and whistles and still do digital).
