Just about any programmable scanner will do just fine. I use a "Radio-Shack" unit that cost about a hundred bucks. The most important thing is the antenna. You can buy "tuned" antennas, at a price, but if you want the best reception, you need a ground plane antenna, about 16 inches on all spikes. I don't know if you are looking for a base unit, or a mobile unit. But remember, radio waves travel best in the "line-of sight", in other words, the higher the antenna, the better the reception. You can even boost your reception with a "gain-box". Both my cousin and I have had great results using Radio-Shack T.V. booster boxes. They are also very easy to adapt to mobile use, as they are designed to take 120 volt A.C., and convert it to 12 volt D.C. It's just a matter of by-passing the transformer in the unit, then you can hook it up to your lighter in the car. <br /> <br /> Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions. Todd C.
