Concerning _Pro-2005_, Bobbie Beers said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
 BB> everything, and all right on top of one another! Never tried any of
 BB> the scanners in that area, but I am sure it's the same. Around here
 BB> with the country being so flat, it's easy to pick up things, although
 BB> tall buildings do hamper some reception.
Nothing but mountains around here.  Radically different reception just by 
moving the antenna a few feet.  I live between a couple of mountains that I 
guess act as some kind of wave guide, as I can sometimes pick up 
transmissions from 100 miles to the south better than I can pick them up from 
20 miles to the west.
 BB> I've never regreted purchasing any of them, and also the 2035.
 BB> Haven't tried the 2042, yet! 
I'm about to try the 2042.  The local Radio Shack didn't have any in stock 
(they say there are only 4 in the entire district) but did order me one, 
which should be here Thursday.  I'm trading in my 2035 for it.  That's the 
secret, you know.  Never keep a scanner more than 30 days.  :-)
 BB> When I purchased my first programmable RS scanner, the 2001, (16 
 BB> channel) I promised my husband I wouldn't want another scanner as long
 BB> as I lived!
My girlfriend has complained of being a computer widow, a videogame widow, 
and here lately, a scanner widow.  Just the other day, she said it was good 
that I hit middle-age crazy so early so I could get it out of my system...
 BB> I saw the specs for the 2042, and it does have a few new tricks that
 BB> would be nice to have on a scanner.
That's what I thought.  I had to run the rationalization machine full power 
for a couple of weeks, but finally decided to check it out.
 BB> Since I have a birthday coming up, maybe, just maybe? I have a feeling
 BB> whatever the gift, it's already been bought. Al seems to be putting in
 BB> alot of overtime lately. 
As long as Al remembers to wrap the sales slip with it...  :-)
