Im not new at scanners but im stumped on dma, i know what banks are but a bit confused on dma.
My comment are from the view point of using PC software to build and load the scanner data.
In the Bank/List method you think in terms of the destination in the radio of the state/city/county system you are creating. In the DMA method you still construct the the data by state/city/county but are not concerned with the final destination (bank #). The name of the system becomes the bank #. The quick-key assigned (BCD396T) in a sense becomes the bank # used to select and deselect scanning of the named system.
Clear as mud?

I like uniden brand myself but here are a couple more links for scanners. Uniden http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/0898.html and the GRE brand which is more around 200 bucks. http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/2527.html. Now the Bct-15 has GPS and is something you prolly don't need.
Along with others, I would say the BCT-15 http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/BCT15
