best airband radio scanner

[myrtleman]

Hi all,

My Yupiteru MVT3300 has served me very well for years now but it's time for an upgrade. I've spent all day trawling websites to find information about the best up-to-date scanners but they all seem to contradict.

Could the people out there just give me their own recommendations. Need the best handheld machine to pick up and scan ATC communications as clearly and widely as possible. Price limit £200.

MTIA,

Myrtleman

Look on e-bay for an Icom

UBC3500XLT gets my vote. Cracking little device, huge range of features and easy to get your head round. Can be got for around £150 if you do your homework.
