I have the PRO 95, and from a newbie I find it to be a very good scanner.
It's easy to use, easy enough that I can have my mom use it to listen in on
the Police and the neighbors

I haven't had a trouble with it yet, and I've brought it with me to a lot
of places and along on a lot of bike rides. Adding a discriminator output
was easy too. Battery consumption seems fine, although I have nothing to
compare it with. I am using NiMH batteries..

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a hand held trunk scanner that I can connect
to my PC to program. I don't think I need digital, because I dont
think it's used in my area. But I know trunk systems are used in one
large city I'd like to listen to.

Looking for something in the $150-$250 range, new or used.

Can anyone suggest models or brands I should look for?

Thanks,

Tommy

The PRO95 is on sale at radioshack for $199 and you can get a BC245 for
about the same price. I would recommend the PRO95.
