I recommend the Uniden Bearcat (handheld) BC125AT .
About $130 for new, but can also be had for less as refurbished.
If you want more fancy, the Uniden Bearcat BCD325P2.
If you want one that mounts.......I have had the ($80?) Uniden Bearcat BC355N Scanner
(or equivalent) in my cars/trucks for over 20yrs and am truly satisfied with them, even
with a $10 antenna stuck on the inside of the glass. A roof antenna is a plus.
