I’m looking to buy one for a gift. I did a search, but just found threads asking about channels. I want to get something good, I don’t want it to be a cheap POS. Does anyone have any good suggestions? If it matters, it will be in a house, not a car.

Thanks! 🙂

Its not fully about the scanner, you would want to make sure you have a decent antenna
