I was thinking of buying this Police Scanner (UnidenDirect - Clock Radio Base Scanner) I was just wondering if this scanner would work to listen to Fredericton, Police, Fire, Ambulance and Dispatch? Would anyone know?
Would this scanner work in Fredericton?

That scanner you listed wont get you much, you would need something with Trunking capabilitys I'm pretty sure, and possibly digital as well incase they go digital in the future..
You would need at least a Uniden 246t or 346t or similar, to hear police, fire, etc, if you look at this link below you will see the information for Freddy at the bottom of the page.

Do you know of any scanners that would work?
If your new to the hobby, you might consider this one: http://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/Home_Patrol
Or if your comfortable programming and operating an advanced scanner, try these links :
BC346XT - The RadioReference Wiki
BC246T - The RadioReference Wiki
This one will work in the future, if they were to change to digital, I can't say if they would or not, but it seems to be the trend.
BCD396XT - The RadioReference Wiki
Also, RadioShack and GRE hav scanners that would meet your needs, go here for all the scanners you can think of

As pointed out by other's the BC 340CRS will not pick up the Fredericton Trunk Radio system.
Also as mentioned above, chech the Wiki for basic info on scanning.
However, if your looking at this model as a starter scanner it will pick up agencies in the
Fredericton area that are not Trunked.
Such as;
Aircraft
Ambulance NB
FIre Departments(other than Fredericton)
Department of Natrual Resources
RCMP
Bare in mind that over the next few years a new inter-provincal system will be going into service.
When that happens, you will need a one of the scanner models suggested by the other
members to listen to it.

Does anyone know of any USED Scanners that would work in the Fredericton area? I can't find any for under 100.00...
You could try the for sale section on this site, or ebay, but I doubt you will find much for 100$.
Assuming Fredericton is still mostly analog, you should be able to pick up something like a cheap Radio Shack Pro-97 or Pro-95, or a Uniden BC246T or
