Floyd, You and I have one thing in common though. We both replied to
the
trolling.

No, I'm not a troll. *gee*
All I'm saying is scanners don't have that much complicated electronic
components to justify the price.
Thanks to all for their inputs.

You're more than welcome. I didn't think you were a troll, so I replied
sincerely with my thoughts. (If one could call my posting 'a thought') In
any case, it's a specialty item so it's priced accordingly. And, if you were
like me, back in the 'bad old days'.....I bought a crystal 4 channel
'handheld' for around 100 dollars in the late 70's. I could only afford one
crystal - my local firehouse. Lot's of cash, but I had fun.

But, I loved that little unit dearly as I could hear *all* the 'news' before
it was published. Anyway, I don't regret spending that cash any more than
what I spent on my current 'communications receiver'. (Expensive) I guess
it's all about how much one enjoys the hobby.

Regards,
Mike T.
