And so I'm gathering in doing further research online. The P25 card to

into one of these high-end Unidens is almost $200 alone!

Be careful - a good number of the scanners are Digital already. Only a
few (they will generally say "P25 READY") need the card.

There are a few used P25-ready scanners on eBay going for around $200 ---
that's probably my
best bet.

"Going for" - you mean currently at $200 with 3 days left to go?

The majority of the bidding is done in the last hours or even minutes.

They run close to $500.00 new. If you see one on Ebay that is a buy it now
or is won for $200.00 I would be VERY surprised if it actually worked when
you got it. If you really want to take a chance, make damn sure you pay with
a Credit Card. At least then when you get it, if it does not work you will
get your money back. If the seller will not let you pay with a Credit card
don't even consider it.
