Certainly can get out the door for under $100. Here are two examples from Cobra alone. Here's one for $30, even. Factoring in installation by a pro, I'm not sure. I don't know what that would cost. It's incredibly easy to just do yourself, though, particularly if you're going with a cig lighter as your power source and a mag mount antenna.

This will get ya started. You can upgrade later if you enjoy it.
I have had good luck with this Tram 703-HC. Absolutely no issue with stability of mag mount and antenna itself is sturdy.
The manual doesn't mention anything about CTCSS or DCS. I'm using an external antenna similar to this one: https://www.amazon.com/TRAM-703-HC-Center-Load-Antenna/dp/B002IP3WV4 (mine looks a bit taller). I wanted to rule-out the scanner being too old to receive APRS packets since it's analog.
