In short,
AOR AR3000 = Base
AOR AR8000 = Handheld

Here are some feature (Taken from specs on Durham pages)

AR3000
------
- 400 channels (4 banks of 100 channels)
- 4 priority channels (one per bank)
  each memory can store mode, frequency, RF attenuator setting, and 
  lockout status
- 4 search banks
  up to 100 frequencies can be locked out of each search bank!
  covers 100kHz-2036MHz AM-WFM-NFM-U/LSB-CW
  scans at a maximum of 50 channels or steps per second
  sensitivity is 100kHz to 2.5MHz (SSB/CW 1.0uV)-(AM 3.2uV) 2.5MHz to
  1.8GHz (SSB/CW 0.25uV)-(AM 1.0uV)-(NFM 0.35uV)-(WFM 1.0uV)
  1.8 - 2.0 GHz (SSB/CW 0.75uV)-(AM 3.0uV) (NFM 1.25uV)-(WFM 3.0uV)
- built-in RS232 port for easy computer interfacing
- 1.2kg

AR8000
------
- 1000 channels (20 banks of 50 channels)
- Covers 500KHz-1900MHz AM-WFM-NFM-U/LSB-CW
- Scans at a maximum of 30 channels/sec
- Sensitivity is 500KHz to 2.0MHz (SSB & AM by feild signal strength
  2.0MHz to 30MHz (SSB 1.0uV)-(AM 3.0uV)-(NFM 1.5uV)
  30MHz -1.3 GHz (SSB 0.25uV)-(AM 1.0uV) (NFM 0.35uV)-(WFM 1.0uV)
- 390 g (Including antenna and batteries)

Can also be interfaced to computer via a special cable (Not included)
------------

Due to the 1997 Gingrich fiasco, the FCC recently revoked the
certification for the AR8000 since it was too easy for people to
reprogram the radio's bandplan thereby opening up the taboo cellular
telephone bands.

This meen that you can't buy a new AR8000 in the U.S.  You still have
the option to buy it imported (Canada for example).

Take a look at http://www.durhamradio.ca/scanners.htm and you'll find
a lot of info about some scanners.
