After a search I can see this topic hasn't been revisited in a while, so here goes.
What features should future scanners have that they do not currently have? For this thread, let's assume that the features CAN increase the cost by a few hundred dollars, but still leave the scanner affordable for the serious scanner enthusiast. Maybe the powers at be (Uniden / GRE) might even stumble across this on a google search some day.
My wish list:
1) MUCH more powerful audio for handheld scanners (like a public safety radio).
2) Li-ion battery packs, charging cradles.
3) Commercial grade cases for portables.
4) Two or three separate antenna inputs on the back of base units, with the input selectable per object.
5) Multiple tuners so there is no audio dropout when checking the priority channel.
