Are you in an urban area with a lot of powerful pager transmitters (these can cause intermod interference and a well designed scanner can deal with it)?
Mine is a Uniden something-or-other (I'm not at home right now so I don't have the model handy). For $350 works fine. Unfortunately LAPD moved to digital a couple of years ago so I can't liste in to their dispatches anymore.
Grove Enterprises specialized in scanners, you might check their Web site to see what's out there (www.grove-ent.com I think)
