->       Cobra ST900 (December 1992)
 Gee, Joe, that's awfully old stuff. The RS 20-400 looks to date from about 
1992. I don't have the date on the page that I saved. It was the PRO-58, a 10 
channel desktop model that covered 30-54, 138-174, and 380-512 MHz. It listed 
for $129.95, and the flier I have shows it on sale for $89.95. It's hard to 
image that it's worth much, since the current handheld PRO-70, which has 
similar coverage and 50 channels, goes for $100 new when it's on sale.
 As for the Cobra, I don't have anything on the ST900, but the Scanner World 
catalog I received on May 6, 1992 does have the SR-901. This model was 
"available only from Scanner World." Often that meant that, other than the 
model number, it was identical to a model available from other dealers. In 
other words, maybe it's the same as the ST900. Its specs are: ten channel, 
desktop, 29-54, 136-174, and 400-512 MHz. It sold for $74.99, plus $6 for 
shipping. Again, when you consider how much more new scanners have to offer, 
I can't imagine that it would be worth a lot.
 That's all I know.
 Yours, Blair
