THC> Continuing my ongoing efforts to bankrupt Radio Shack 
 THC> by taking undue advantage of their return policy...
    Oh, I thought that was the "Rental" policy
 THC> Latest on the chopping block is the Pro-2035.  This 
 THC> clear-out special boasts 1000 channels, sound squelch, 
   For $329.97 you just can't beat this deal...I was lucky and put one in
law-a-way about a week before it started to drop from the "sale" price of
$389...
 THC> I've played with it an hour and I've already got 
 THC> complaints about it, of course.  Auto store works as 
    The 2042 "fixes" the auto-store and only stores a new freq once.
 THC> squelch almost makes up for the lack of search lockouts, but not quite.
 THC> Locking out the 80 or so channels in a bank that you 
 THC> don't need takes forever.  One of the scanners I 
   
    Maybe, but at least you've got 80 channels in that bank left to lockout 
and later open up for new freqs.  Most of the other scanners just have 80
channels left in the whole radio...  :)
 THC> Rotary tuner is actually more useful than I would have thought.
    That is a wonderful addition...I use mine alot...
 THC> So far, I've mainly spent my time entering frequencies 
 THC> (manually and with auto store), moving channels 
 THC> around, and listening to CB.  Anybody who's had one of 
 THC> these for a while know any nice features that I'm  probably 
erlooking?
    Don't forget that they can be computer controlled...
   As far as the auto-store, and some of the other features you mentioned go,
just remember that even as wonderful as the 2004/5/6 are they didn't have
those features...like I said, for the diso price of $329.97 it is a good 
eal,
you can get the 2042 that "fixes" some of the (I hate to say glitches, but..)
the 2042 is going to cost you $499.99...I don't know about you, but I can 
live with quite abit for $170 difference in price   :)
