Thanks for the responses so far. I do have ICF-2010 for HF and Air
Band coverage. I am mostly interested in the encrypted transmissions.
I guess any normal scanner would pick up FM/AM/SSB modes. I don't
want to just hear hiss or crackles on 440.650 MHz for instance.

I want to listen to things that are not meant to be heard. :-)

More information needs to be known before anyone can suggest a scanner.

1. What frequency ranges will you be listening to?
2. Will you need to listen to trunked or digital transmissions?
3. How many channels are the minimum?
4. Do you need AM capabilities? (Listening to air band?)
