First off check the topic on "Max scanner range". I have 2 handheld scanners. First is a Uniden BC100XT about 10 years old and have had very good luck with it, and would not hesitate to recommend Uniden to anyone. About a year and a half ago it seemed to be getting weak as far as reception went. It just wasn't pulling in the signal like it used to. I replaced the battery pack & charger which helped some, but I came to the conclusion that it had finally worn out. It still works well enough that I use it as a knockaround unit when out in the yard etc. I found a sale on a Radio Shack "Pro-92" 500 channel handheld that has also been a very good scanner. I don't need 500 channels, but it enabled me to better break down my channels into "banks" that allow me to lock out certain groups of channels, and it is the first scanner I've had with 800mhz capability. Weather you buy locally or by mailorder, Uniden scanners are usually sold in pretty complete packages that contain battery, chargers, etc. On the other hand Radio Shack prices tend to include a box with a scanner, period. Batteries, chargers, vehicle power cord etc. will be extra. So when comparing models, check beyond the price, and if necessary figure any extras into the final cost.
