Worth the money!

I pay $76 for this at Radioshack! It was a smart choice! Great sound and easy to use!

Very Nice!

This scanner was recently on sale at Radio Shack for $79 dollars, and at that price it is an excellent buy! It uses two AA alkalines, or rechargable Ni-Cd/Ni-MH batteries (not included), or A/C wall current with a 6v adapter and "adaptaplug" (not included). It can also be powered through a vehicle's cigarette lighter with an adapter (again, not included). The rechargables can be charged in the unit by flipping a tiny switch in the battery compartment, but be sure to read the manual with regard to this topic, and under no circumstances should you attempt to charge alkalines. The unit is small, palm-size, with a backlit screen and keypad that turns off automatically after 15 seconds. You get 200 memory channels divided into 10 storage banks, in addition to preprogrammed weather, ham, police, marine and aircraft frequencies held in service banks. The scan function is quick and smooth, and you can scan between frequencies entered manually, as well as the stored memory channels. One interesting feature is the Signal Stalker, which detects and displays the frequency of nearby strong transmissions. It can be set to work in the background, or turned off altogether. Also, with an optional serial port cable and software, you can connect the Pro-83 to your computer and store or transfer data between the radio and the PC. Delay function, lockout, priority channels...they're all there. On the downside, there are no trunking features, and the little BNC antenna that comes with the unit should be replaced with something a bit more powerful. But overall, this is a fine radio that will serve you well up to the 956 MHz limit.
