[fa.railroad] Programmable Scanning Radios

I am considering purchasing a pocket programmable police scanner to take on
train trips.  The new Regency unit has the best specs of the three I am aware
of (Radio Shack and the Bearcat are the only others I know about.)  Has anyone
had experience with it or the others?

Also there is some industrial quality programmable receiver (but not scanner)
known as the AR33.  It has fantastic specs, but I've only found one source for
it, and the price seems outrageous.  Does anyone know anything about this unit,
and where to get it?
