What do you guys recommend? I live in Lake County IL and want a scanner that has good reception and I will be using in my house/on road sometimes. Also want one that is around 200 $. Thanks
Best scanner for scanning about 20 miles?

Sambo the distance you can receive on any scanner you purchase is largely determined by the antenna you choose, not by the scanner. A 20 mile reception range is pretty easy but will also change due to temperature inversions, humidity, and other variables.

although the radio plays a small part of reception *range*, it's mostly about the antenna. 20-miles is pretty straightforward. what are you interested in monitoring?
