I would suggest any of the current digital scanners. BCD996XT, BCD396XT, HomePatrol-1, PSR-500 (Pro-106), PSR-600 (Pro-197), or the PSR-800 (my personal favorite) (Pro-18). The Pro models are the Radio Shack version of the PSR models. Typically the RS models lack a programming cable and AC adapter on handhelds.
