Marco,
What are some good inexpensive scanners (brand and costs) for LiveATC
use?
Radio Shack currently has a relatively good scanner, the Pro-84, on sale
for $50, after rebates. That is a real steal, since they were originally
sold for $200. The sale ends February 10:

It is a rebranded Uniden BC92XLT and is marketed as a NASCAR scanner. What
that means is that the scanner has a NASCAR sticker on it, and is pre-
programmed with NASCAR team frequencies. The frequencies can be deleted or
overridden.
The scanner covers the aircraft band, along with other public service
bands, and can therefore be used as an air scanner.
