Default Portable radio scanners

Dang It! I involuntarily gave away my trusty Radio Shack scanner a
while back. I need another one but before I go down to my local Radio Shack
store, I thought maybe I'd solicit suggestions and comments regarding a
different brand/model.
I want a scanner that, in addition to aviation VHF, will cover the
general VHF spectra. UHF would be good -- I live near a military airfield --
but not required.
If you really must know, I had the last one on AMTRAK listening to the
train chatter whilst on a trip cross country. When I got off the train, it
didn't.

Check out Radio Shack's Pro-97. It covers aviation, MilAir, UHF & VHF
Public Service. It does trunktracking for Motorola, EDACS and LTR
systems. It has a feature that identifies and locks on to nearby
transmitters. I've had one for a few months now and love it.
