Do they make such a thing as a Scanner combined with a two way radio.. many years ago as an exlporer on a FD I could swear the Fire chief had a small scanner, that fit in his shirt pocket, but could also transmit on the FD freq.

Yes they make them but they are not optimized for scanning. You didn't say which band you need to xmit on. My VX-3 and VX-170 work fairly well as scanners and xmit on 2m and 70cm. Some commercial radios have scanning as well.

Many of today's smaller two way professional grade radios (ie. Vertex) have a scan feature on them. Many will handle over 100 channels and will allow the user to select which channels to scan. Of course the authorized user can transmit on any of the channels programmed in the radio.
