subject: Scanner expectations

Dear friends:
  Seeing that RS was clearing out its PRO-67 scanner for $US150, I bought one 
this afternoon. Though I use my scanner for general scanning, it is 
especially important for me that it perform well in the railroad frequencies. 
I have read in many reviews that some RS scanners, especially the PRO-60 and 
the PRO-64, are subject to a lot of pager interference around 161MHz. An 
online review of the PRO-67 did not mention this, but I have found that I get 
some anyway.
 My question is, what should I expect for the money? Is NO interference a 
reasonable expectation, or is it inevitable that something will break 
through? I'd appreciae hearing anybody's comments.
 By the way, this was the last one in the store, so, following the advice 
I've read IN THIS CONFERENCE, I asked the clerk if he would double the one 
year warranty, as it was the demo. He did. Thanks to the people here who 
pointed that little trick out.
  I essentially have a thirty day trial, and I won't abuse the scanner. 
Yours, Blair
