Back in the dark ages, I started out on a Bearcat portable scanner that required physical crystals. A short time later I broke down and bought a Bearcat 250 and then a BC300. I bought a Yaesu FRG9600 and pretty much gave up listening to LE/Fire/related type of traffic, although I kept up with aviation.
The LW/MW/SW aspect got old as well, so I broke down and bought a BCD536HP today. A SDS100 is pending when the rush slows down. Until then, the programming isn't as easy as the old BC250 was, but it certainly does a lot more.
