I have a ham radio that does 70 cm analog and P25 digital as well as UHF trunked systems...it's called a Motorola XTS5000 !!!!
HH 2 meter with trunk scan?

I know someone who built a mobile "ham rig" that included a full featured P25, trunktracking scanner as the receiver. I don't remember what model he used.
He removed the scanner from the case, mounted it in a larger case, added a transmitter section from an old 2m crytsal controlled rig, added the mic and controls to the case, and added a trasmit/recive relay to the coax at the antenna jack.
His reason? That is now a homebrewed mobile amateur transciever that also happens to recieve public safety frequencies- and is thus exempt from laws that ban scanners in vehicles.

Ah, if only I had a budget like that. I'd love a 'real' P25 radio that had enough ears to pick up LAPD reliably in Orange County.
