I've got a few old crystal-tuned Bearcats, some slightly newer electronically tuned ones and a few Radio Shack scanners from the very late 1990s/early 2000s, including one that is trunking capable.
The old scanners still generally work, though a few of them have developed "character". I don't use them often, but sometimes it is fun to haul one out, give it a quick programming run and have a listen to what is going on. I have one of the early electronically tuned Bearcats hooked up for listening at a moment's notice, but I think it's going to need service soon.
Police/ambulance/fire are still analog systems here. The municipal radio service appears to have been retired in favor of things such as Nextel cellular phones.
