Default Thinking about the Pro-94 scanner. In Austin. Others?

Hello, I would like to get a scanner to listen to police, EMS, etc.
here in Austin Texas.

I currently have a BC350A (bought in 2004), but I cannot seem to get
nearly as many channels as my previous BC250D scanner would get.

What I'm curious about is if I would have the same problems with the
Radio Shack Pro-94 scanner.

The frequency list that it supports seems to be very broken up and
missing a lot of frequencies. Would this be a problem for Austin
scanning??

Are there any non-Digital channels that I should still be able to pick
up in Austin?

Any other scanner you would recommend around the $100, $150 range?

Do I need an APCO-25 system to do any good? I'm mainly interested in
police/EMS frequencies.

Thanks!
