OBD2 scanner?

OBD2 scanner?
Yes, I did a search, but I really couldn't find much on what I needed to know. I'm new to the Disco, as of 12 hours ago. Have a 2001. Need a scanner/code reader. Anyone use the Harbor Freight? I'm guessing only some brands will work with the D2.
Help ASAP please. Have check engine light and need to get through CT emissions to get this registered.
Thanks

As mentioned go to an auto parts store if you just want to read codes, but if you are planning to keep the Disco for a while it's wise to invest in a decent scanner for $100-$150 that will read codes & live data & can do ABS, you will use it much more than you might think ( & it will pay for itself very quickly) rather than a cheap one,
There are quiet a few choices to choose from, I have the (icarsoft-930) for land rover's & it has paid for itself many, many times over,

OK all, I just answered my own question. Talked to three auto supply and they confirmed that any new reader will read any OBD2. Now that I have a Disco, with all my reading and research, I feel that a reader is a must in the toolbox.
So, after seeing very good reviews on the Harbor Freight readers, I bought the "Pro". Works great. $99 USD

I bought a Hawkeye too.
I'm keeping the UG, and am in the process of returning the Hawkeye(as it cannot program keys as it says, which was main reason I got it).
