Could someone suggest what would be a good handheld Police/Weather Scanner, New or used ?? As my job takes me into Oklahoma and Arkansas 5 nights a week. I am getting closer to Tornado Weather as spring is upon us. Last night there was a few tornadoes reported north of Joplin mo. And i do not want a one way ride to god know's where. Thank You Members and have a great day.
 

I personally have and use a Uniden Bearcat Sportcat 180. I originally bought mine to use at NASCAR Races and I'm very happy with it. I bought it used on eBay for very little money used. It will scan:
