Concerning _Pro-2035_, Charles George said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
CG> I am not real sure about the software/hardware, but I saw an
CG> article about it in Monitoring Times, but I decided the price was to
CG> high for me, so I did not read any further.
Well, if you ever run across anything like that again, please snag a copy for
me. I'll probably end up going with the 2042, so I'll also be interested in
any mods you run across for it.
CG> I am a casual scanner user, I mainly use mine to monitor the
CG> Airplanes, Trains, Local Transportation, and Police. I also like to
CG> use it to monitor the VHF/UHF ham bands when talking on a frequency
CG> but wanting to make use of another frequency at times.
I originally got into scanners to keep up with local happenings while at work
(I'm security at the county hospital). 20 channels will comfortably hold all
the common police/emergency frequencies in the area.
Unfortunately, I then developed a habit of listening to the scanner on the
road, and needed more channels and banks so I wouldn't have to keep
reprogramming the scanner every time I went out of town. As I started to
spend more time looking for new frequencies, I looked to scanners with better
and better search capabilities, more and more channels, etc.
Somewhere along the line, I realized that I'd just blown completely out of
the water any plans I had about buying a more modern computer this year.
CG> I have only about 200 frequencies stored. I use to have the PRO-
CG> 2006; however; I did not like it as much as the PRO-2035, since I
CG> could not get in between channels being listened to the way I can
CG> with the PRO-2035 using the Tune feature.
That is neat, isn't it?
CG> Itraded the PRO-2006 for some ham gear I wanted at the time.
One guy I know just traded another a 10 channel scanner for a haldheld CB
radio. I found out about it because both came to me asking for advice.
