Would anyone know if Radio Shack offers an updated version of the old Jetstream handheld? I have searched their site but found nothing. Possibly there is another brand of handheld out there that does the same thing? Thanks in advance for your help!

Not as cheap as a Jetstream off eBay, but I can use it for NASCAR races too... ;D
There are quite a few multiband receivers out there. I have three different kinds, and only one is a jetstream. If you're looking for one, eBay is the place to get them. If you don't see any on there, wait a little bit and keep checking. One will eventually show up.
