Concerning _Cloned Scanners_, Bill Cheek said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
 BC> I'll attest to the fact that the PRO-2004/5/6 are all from the same
 BC> mold and die.  There ARE plenty of subtle differences in the
 BC> electronic designs, and of course, the physical layouts can differ
 BC> dramatically.  But they are the same, more or less.
All sources seem to agree on that.  What can be done to one can (usually) be 
done to the others, etc.
 BC> 6.  Each of the PRO-2004/5/6 uses an entirely different CPU, though
 BC> the pin functions in each are identical.  I have sucessfully
 BC> installed a PRO-2006 CPU in a PRO-2005; changed the Clock Resonator
 BC> from 7.37 MHz to a 2006's 12 MHz, and it worked as a PRO-2006!
Well, you can't get much more closely related than that!
 BC> What's more, the PRO-2035, PRO-2042, and the PRO-43 are all closely
 BC> related to the PRO-2004/5/6 series, though there are substantive
 BC> differences in physics and electrics here and there.
 BC> Still.......they're much alike.
Good to hear.  I've worked my way through most of Radio Shack's scanners, 
either by buying/borrowing used scanners or taking advantage of the liberal 
return/exchange policy on the new ones.  I've settled on the Pro-43 as my 
handheld of choice, but still haven't decided on a base/mobile unit.
I was leaning towards the Pro-2004/5/6 direction, but once I decided to keep 
the 43 I had it modified to free up the disabled bands, so now having a base 
scanner that picks up same isn't that high of a priority.  The firmware of 
the 2035 has really grown on me, and the 2042 reads as even better.  Did mods 
for the 2035 blossom as you predicted in your _Ultimate Scanner_ book?  Will 
the same mods work for the 2042?
