Jim, look at the Radio Shack Pro-95 if you don't need digital
capabilities. It's relatively inexpensive, easy to program with
free/shareware software, and works on trunked and non-trunked systems.
If it's not what you want, RS has a good return policy. If you don't
need trunked, RS sells even cheaper scanners.

I was tempted to consider this model. However, it doesn't have total
coverage in frequency range. My other choice would be ICOM R5 due to
its small size and total coverage (less cellular). If I do get R5,
then would I not be able to listen to trunked signals?

If everyone starts using trunked, then buying scanner that wouldn't
decode trunked signals would be a bad investment. Once again, I want
to buy a scanner that decodes "most" signals surrounding my periphery.
Who gave them right to invade my space with their stealth signals?
