Just sharing a memory here... My father in law had a scanner sitting  
  by his chair for as long as I knew him. It was replaced and  
  upgraded over the years, but was there in 1983 when I started  
  dating my wife and was there in June of 2023 when he died  
  in the chair.  
    
  Over that time a lot of the departments went digital and  
  he couldn't hear them anymore, but he still kept it going.  
    
  I gave him some frequencies of repeaters to put in for  
  HAM traffic, but local stuff is so sporadic...  
    
  I will be putting his 40' tower with antennas to good  
  use soon. I'm getting BACK into HAM and want a unit  
  at home. I'll not be using his antennas, of course, unless  
  I can modify for ham use? HMMM...

  ... I'm not paranoid! Which of my enemies told you this?
