[Scan-DC] Best scanner for new DC P25?

[Joel Kahn]

If all you are interested in is DC, I wouldn't waste the money for the couple of unencrypted channels, which by the way, may also go encrypted.  There is a rumor that the new Mayor is going to unencrypt the communications system, but it is much harder to get them to unencrypt than to encrypt so she may lose that battle if she even tries.

Any of the newest radios, Uniden 436, 536, Whistler 1080 can do TDMA (Phase II P25) and you can also hear PG County, Loudoun, and some more are moving to TDMA, as long as they do not also go encrypted.

What's the best scanner for the new DCFD P25 system?  My ol' reliable Pro 96
is now a paperweight.  It looks like I should be able to get TG 02-Main and
the hospital channels and not much else, so I'm not sure I want to spring
for $500-ish for a new scanner.  But if I do, what would you recommend?
