Gee, I feel like one with this new scanner!  :)

Now you know my NEEDS.  I would really like to know what is the best out
there.  I have already seen the PRO 2042 from radio shack, but I don't know
where to look or find Uniden or Bearcat models to compare them with.  I
really would like to get most every frequency available plus the ability to
do tone squelching.

I would love to find a place local to me that would sell used/new stuff.
Haven't found one yet.
Thanks,
