-> Radio Shack offers a 300 channel trunk tracker hand-held scanner in
-> their 1998 catalog. The part number is 20-520 with a price of $299.99
-> and there is a leather carrying case available for $19.99. It
-> appears to be a clone of the BC-235 scanner sold by Uniden.
It IS a clone.
-> According to the description in catalog, the TT uses a Ni-Cad
-> rechargable "battery pack". No salesman in the store could explain if
-> the word "battery pack" was referring to a Sealed pack of batteries
-> vs. individual AA batteries.  Up to this point Radio Shack has
-> always used individual AA batteries in all the hand-held scanners I
-> have seen.
It's the Uniden 5 AA NiCad pack, in a heatshrinked 'sleeve'.  RS only
gives you one battery pack, Uniden gives you 2, PLUS an extra charger
that allows you to charge both packs at the same time.  RS charges $35
for additional packs.
