All of the receivers that you are being mentioned are pretty good units. But the Radio that I mentioned ( VX-150)is weighted towards the portion of the band that the railroads use. This provides the best receive capability. Most scanners are set up to be broad banded and are not set up to be sensitive to any one particular band. One note however, this transceiver will not pick most police or fire frequencies, anly the ham 2 meter band and VHF high where the railroads hang out. The choice is: more versatility or better reception on VHF high. You can use this radio to receive legally without a ham license, but not transmit.
