My old Radio Shack Pro-51 is getting a bit tired and I'm thinking it's about time to drag it to the back of the barn and
give it one in the neck.

Any suggestions as to replacement? I've been thinking of Yaesu VR-500, but, as it has been around for a lot of years, I
suspect there are several possibilities in the same approximate price range ($250-500) that are more advanced than that.

I *really* haven't followed the markets over the past years, so I'm kinda in the dark (lots of brands, yupiteru,
bearcat, uniden etc. etc. )...

My basic requirements:
- Aviation traffic monitoring (99.9% of the time)
- I would be nice to monitor/control the scanner via Linux over [serial] connection
- Must be portable.

I'm all ears...
