Johnny-come-lately, as I now understand it.  Twasn't always so.....and I had 
old information.  Good thing new stuff comes down....... keeps a feller on 
his toes.  :-)

No, but it doesn't have 30-kHz SEARCH increments.  12.5-kHz is their 
tandard.
Also, it behooves one to inquire if the 30-50 MHz band is blocked as the 
Europies are fond of doing.  Seems they don't like their citizens listening 
in on that band.  Newer models like the PRO-26 might not be blocked, but all 
the older ones were, so it pays to check.........first.
