I got a WIN-108 for my Christmas from my Dad one year and thought it was the best present ever. It's VHF reception was great. Then I moved up to the Yupiteru VT-225 which was a whole new beast, amazing reception and 100 stored freqs. Alas it got nicked to I moved up to....

the Yupiteru MVT-7100 which doesn't have great reception at all as it tries to do too much. I then stepped back down for the MVT-3330 which promised amazing things but is prone to all sorts of interference. I also managed to snap the connection from the antenna to the circuit board with both new scanners as they don't like being in pockets and the connection isn't the best design.

Is it possible to buy a new scanner that models roughly what the VT-225 delivered SEVENTEEN years ago? Excellent VHF / UHF airband reception with a good search and store options?

Cheers

BTW I hope I'm a sensible. I might not be though (!)
