I read this whole message, Gare, and I WANT ONE. LOL!   In fact, 
I was thinking about asking my g/f to take back anything she got me
around that price so I can get this damn scanner!! LOL!
-> putting it though it's paces ever since. Possibly, no probably, the
-> best hand held scanner that I have ever had. Very sensitive with the
It's a friggin HH?!?  Nice! :)
-> The display has two indicators for priority scan, one  "pri" on the
-> lower part of the display, and when it is not receiv says "PSCAN" on
-> the main display. In non priority, it says "SCAN" o main
So, there's no aplhanumeric of any kind for, say.. programming in the
city name, etc.?
-> display.Tone can be turned off or on for the entire radio, but  for
-> individual channels. I haven't played with the searc can't say
I can deal with that.  Same thing on my Uniden 890xlt.
-> 1) Delay is all or nothing.
Yeah, I hate that when listening to trunked freqs.  Oh well.
-> 2) There is no way to keep the light on for more than 3 seconds.
No biggie again. 
-> 3) The keyboard lock locks all functions, not just the frequency
-> programming.
Now _that_ I actually like, unless it locks the SCAN\MANUAL button(s) as
well.
-> 4) The biggest complaint of all, is that you can not search for
-> tones or digital tones. Standard PL information is pretty easy to
-> get around here, but DPL is tough. It really should allow you to
-> program in a frequency and then search for the proper PL.
Now I _think_ I know what you mean but....now on my Uniden 890xlt I can
hit the "TONE" button and then use the wheel to search through the PL's
untill I get audio.  Is that what you mean it DOESN'T have?
One way to cure that would be to get a Scanner Master book(the BIG one)
for your area, if they have them, because they list the PL\DPL.
-> I paid $249.00 plus $5.00 for shipping, which isn't bad. I figure
-> another $30.00 for a case and and mobile mount, DC power cord, and
-> NiCads.
-> It will definitely do until the Uniden trunking tracker is available,
-> and maybe even then.
That's a nice price.   Really nice.  But what's this Uniden trunking
tracker you spoke of, please?  Now you got me thinking of waiting for
that unit instead! LOL!
