I'm not sure what you would consider "higher-end", but there are
plenty
of
"regular" scanners that have WFM.

Generally anything costing you more than $150 to $200, and that
includes
Trunk Tracking, I would classify as "higher-end". You won't find
WFM
on
the
majority of (if any) "regular" scanners.

Very few scanners don't have WFM.


According to this FAQ, looks like the majority of the NON-Trunking
"regular"
SCANNERS don't have WFM... Perhaps you get your information from some
other
planet?

What FAQ??
Every scanner that I have has WFM - and I do not own trunking scanners -
some of my scanners have been cheap arsed pieces of ****e, some are good
quality, but all have had WFM.
Uniden 200 XLT
Uniden 220 XLT
Icom IC-R3
Winradio 1500e
Icom PCR 1000
------ All of these have WFM

Maybe 20 to 30 years ago, WFM was not available in most scanners, but as
BOG
has said, (and I hate to back him up, but here I must), very few
scanners
don't have WFM. Perhaps you could advise which new scanners do not?


I had a 200 XLT years ago it didn't have Wide FM?

That's because the pair of them have no idea what they are talking about...
Either that, or they buy their equipment on another planet...
