Are there any strong feelings about the RS Pro 95 versus the Uniden
BC245XLT? They seem to have similar prices / features.

Hello,
I've been contemplating buying a good handheld scanner for quite some
time now, and after this week I'm kicking myself for not having one (I
live in NYC, didn't even have a portable AM/FM radio!).
Can anyone make any recommendations? I've primarily been looking at
Uniden Bearcat models, but I'm most interested in maximum features and
frequency range (ie search ability across non-programmed channels),
ease of use, build quality, and battery flexibility (the BC250D seems
good, but would like the option of using dry cells in a pinch).
Many thanks!
Well, if you're really into the digital thing, you oughta' wait until
Radio Shack makes the Pro96 available, this one will come with digital
reception circuitry built in. You can read about it in the current issue
of ScanningUSA.
If however you're looking for a plain-old analog scanner with loads of
bells and whistles, try Radio Shack's Pro95. This is RadioShack's first
handheld to include a channel/talkgroup text-tagging feature and it has a
PC interface as well (cabling and software not included).
