Advice On Buying Scanner?
 

Hi Folks,

I'm going to buy my brother a radio scanner for his christmas but am unsure
on which one to get.

I would like to get one with a wide input range (maybe up to 2000Mhz) and
with no gaps. It should also
have an output port to PC so that he can pick up APT images etc.

I have no idea what is good and what is not - there do appear to be a lot of
RadioShack 2006..... etc
models kicking around on ebay - are these any good? Someone suggested a
YAESU UR-5000 but from
what I have seen this looks very complicated and quite pricey!

Any input much appreciated.

John.
