Scanner for 900, 2.4 & 5 GHtz Range?
 

I'm looking for an inexpensive radio scanner (stationary or handheld type)
that can scan the 900, 2.4 & 5 GHtz frequencies. I also need it to have an
earphone jack to plug into a line-in device. Is there such a radio? Can you
give me a web link?

You didn't give a range for your cost target, but the Icom IC-R3 (about
$370), Yaesu VR-5000 (about $600), AOR AR8200MkIII (about $570) or AOR
AR8600MkII (about $890) will get you up to the 2.4 GHz range (up to 3 GHz
for the AOR), but you can pretty much forget about 5 GHz in anything
"inexpensive". Most inexpensive scanners only go up to 1.3 GHz. The ones I
mentioned are probably about the least expensive units that go up to 2.4
GHz. All would have an earphone or line out jack.
