The VX-150 made by Vertex would be a excellent choice. It is a transceiver ( Ham 2 meters ) but you can buy one and carry it. It has very sensitive receive and is light and compact with good audio. It has a 200 channel memory and dual VFO's. This radio is professional quality, and is much better constructed than scanners that you would buy at a department store. Also, I would add that it is relativly easy to aquire your ham tech license. Also, you do not need to learn Morse code to operate on the 2 meter band ( 144-148 Mhz) and get your FCC ham license. Under most state laws, you are allowed to carry your scanner in your car with your ham radio license.
