I decided to record a video on how to use a radio scanner. I hope you find it useful.
I have a Uniden Bearcat BC72XLT scanner, which is not sold new any more. The equivalent is the Uniden BC75XLT scanner (Amazon). You can shop around and get it for about Cdn $130 plus shipping (e.g. from Durham Radio in Ontario, or The Source), or $160 from Amazon with free shipping.
The Uniden Bearcat BC125AT (Amazon) is a step up with alpha tagging (meaning you can enter a name for a frequency) and it can interface with your computer for setup. It doesn't cost a lot more, so I'd be tempted to get this if I were in the market for a scanner.
My Amazon links are affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission if you buy something from Amazon after following the link, at no extra cost to you.
I've found that using 3rd party software to program them is much easier than trying to program them manually. I highly recommend using them. The UI on them is really bad, but once you get over the mid 90's visual basic feel, they are great.
