Im thinking of buying a scanner in the uk im willing to spend around
500 on a good scanner that can pick up airplanes and police could
anyone reccomend one .

Also im wanting to know what cellular blocking means, does this mean
that it cannot pick up cell phones and if it is can they be unbloked
and be able to pick up cellphones

You can't get mobiles coz they're digital.
You can only get Police pr in a couple of counties now and soon not at all -
they will all be digital too.

Air, marine, some police vhf, fire, ambulance and pmr can all be received on
a pretty basic scanner. Don't spend £500 - £50 and some time on ebay should
do the trick for your needs.

A decent uniden, gec or yup will be ideal. If ebay scares you then go to
either a web shop (nevada etc) or Maplin and get a gec or bearcat - try to
stay under £100 new, should be possible.

Or theres always the little Maycom AR108 - about £70 for a new machine that
is designed for air band.
