I've had that one too, but I returned it.

Have your tried the "Sporty's Airscan" models available from
Sportys.com?

Personally, I might look for a trusty old Radioshack Pro-2004/5/6?
They don't make them anymore, but there are several on eBay right now
for less than $100. With those, or a handheld Pro-60, you'd also get
the bonus of military air reception.

Uniden could have ignored VHF-Air and / or the AM processing circuitry
on the units you've tried,as they were mainly marketed towards police
/ fire / ems scanning. The Uniden scanners I used to own were so
sensitive, they actually got overloaded by nearby transmissions, as I
scanned public services. I never used mine for VHF-Air, so mine could
have been just as bad on those frequencies or AM signals.
