Handheld scanner recommendation

[FrankenCub]

Any of you guys have any recommendations for an affordable handheld trunking scanner?

What are you trying to listen to? Digital? Analog? A lot of systems are going encrypted...

Guess I'm not really sure. Vestal, Endicott, and JC PD don't have frequencies that I can find. I assumed they were on a trunked system. I'll have to dig some more.

I am not seeing any trunked systems. Could be outdated though.

Huh...I didn't see the police frequencies where I was looking before. Guess I have some programming to do lol.

Ok, so I changed the thread title. Basically only listening to the local PDs and FDs. Not sure if anything digital is needed. I had an old Uniden base a while ago but the volume crapped out. Looking for something handheld now.
