It is a Bearcat 210XLT
It is going to be hooked to a Dell 410 Workstation running Freebsd 6.1 and I will be able to stream Toledo Express and Hopefully Detroit Metro to the site.
Nice!
How much did that one run you?

An oldie but goody. I started my scanner listening back in the 70's with a tunable (trans)portable radio that had AM, FM, and VHF-Lo, VHF-Hi, UHF...you had to be very good at tuning and finding signals since it was an analog dial. I didn't get a "real" scanner really until very late in 79 or the early 80's. It's all fuzzy now.
There are a couple of these available on eBay right now...here's one:

It makes for a fine airband (and feed) scanner. I may still have one in a box in my attic.
The only issue is that the antenna connector is not a BNC jack but rather a Motorola auto radio car jack. Radio Shack has an adaptor that will convert form one to the other (or close). Or you can do the next best thing and open the 210XLT up and install a real BNC jack.
