Yes a good Uniden or Radio Shack scanner. There are the BC996 model and the BC396 model which the 996 is a mobile and the 396 is a handheld.

You will see that a scanner is a lot more feasible then trying to find a radio that can do type II getting it programmed and then using it as a high priced scanner.

In addition I think that you will see you will run into a lot less trouble also if you get pulled over or a local LEO sees you with a scanner instead of a two-way radio.

Thanks Nick, I am not stupid enough to try and communicate with the police. I am just looking for something a bit cleaner then the usual Scanners i have...
