You didn't give a range for your cost target, but the Icom IC-R3 (about
$370), Yaesu VR-5000 (about $600), AOR AR8200MkIII (about $570) or AOR
AR8600MkII (about $890) will get you up to the 2.4 GHz range (up to 3 GHz
for the AOR), but you can pretty much forget about 5 GHz in anything
"inexpensive". Most inexpensive scanners only go up to 1.3 GHz. The ones I
mentioned are probably about the least expensive units that go up to 2.4
GHz. All would have an earphone or line out jack.

I'm looking for an inexpensive radio scanner (stationary or handheld type)
that can scan the 900, 2.4 & 5 GHtz frequencies. I also need it to have an
earphone jack to plug into a line-in device. Is there such a radio? Can

you
give me a web link?
