I have a Yupiteru MVT-7100 - best scanner I have ever used (for airband).
Available from eBay. Not made any more unfortunately. Fantastic reception on VHF airband. I use it to pick up the latest Met from London Volmet before I go aviating. At other time it is tuned to the "comedy channel" on 124.6
If you want to increase range - move to the top of a tower block or buy a base station antenna and mount it on a mast on your roof
