If you have time just keep watching eBay, I scored 2 handhelds dirt cheap.
Both work 100% :D

protables will never receive anywhere near as good and a mobile , due to the gain in the areials they use , eg a 6db on a truck compared to a 1db on a portable , also a better ground plane is usualy availabe , i know its a little bit late now but i use a GME TX7200 commercial portable and i can use a goup channel which is one channel that monitors up to 5 channels at the same time.
eg. my channel 65 is set up to receive 48, 50 and 52 and will choose the best signal of the 3.
i am really bad at explaining things, im more of a hands on person but i hope this is of some help to you.

Not that it matters.. you wont be able to listen to police at all very soon anyway.

Ive been told by Senior Sargent in traffic that VKI to cars will still talk,just as they do now, but job allocation will coninue to be sent to Tardis, so you wont know where some thing is taking place, inc TA's
