I am in the market for my first VHF/UHF scanner.  I would like to buy
the right one for me the first time.  Please send me some advice,
conforming to the following parameters:

   o  I want a desktop model.  Preferably one that would fit easily
      into a car.

   o  I would like to have the best frequency range possible.  This
      includes the 800 MHz cellular band.

   o  I would like to keep the cost down.  This could be done by
      eliminating bell and whistles.  I really do not need 200+
      channels, etc.

     Any replies are greatly appreciated.  Special hints (i.e. "Get
one that covers such and such.  One would be ...") would also be
welcomed.

Thanks a bunch,
Todd
