You could get one of the cheaper unidens for Close Call, such as the 
246, if you wanted to dedicate one for just that function. I can't stand 
how Uniden APCO sounds, but I wouldn't mind getting a non-digital 
scanner just for the Close Call feature, then use GRE for APCO.

When I toured the Nevada Test Site, the low level radiation dump is part 
of the tour. I'm sure (but not positive) there was a DOT radiation 
warning on the back of the trailer that I saw at the dump.

I found a DOT nuke sign on the web, though I doubt this link will 
survive email:

In any event, while you can make the truck "stealth", can it travel 
legally without a warning sign?
