RF>   1) PRO-66 50 channels, 800Mhz coverage, band search and search skip. 
$179
RF>   2) PRO-63 100 channel "event" scanner with VHF-air band. $199
    Etc.
    I wonder what the electrical difference between 30 channels, 50
    channels, 80 channels, etc.?
    Is it easier to build 30 channels as opposed to 100 channels?  The
    prices don't seem to reflect that.  As we know from the PRO-2004,
    getting from 300 to 400 channels was easy.
    I'm sure it's more complicated than I want to read in any case.  I
    guess my main question is why a company would offer a 50-channel
    scanner for $179 when for $20 more you could get twice the channels?
    Okay, so there are some places where you don't need that many.  In
    Panama City, Florida, I can put all the area law enforcement
    agencies in one bank of channels, plus have room for all the area
    boat frequencies, the CB channels, plus Jupiter and Saturn.
    Just muttering to myself, I guess!
