Thanks for the input, but I am selling a Pro-43, what does that have
to do with a trunking scanner?

Ed:
You are fighting a losing battle trying to convince most folks here, but I
understand. In fact I think you are undervaluing the Pro-43.
To those of us who appreciate the Pro43, it is blasphemy to compare it to
the Pro-94. You have to be a Mil Comms Monitor to understand. The Pro-94 does
not furnish the Mil UHF band (225-400), nor does it furnish the 138-144 range
in AM Mode. Both of those bands enable us Mil Comms Monitors to hear mil acft.
Both bands are wonderfully accommodated by the Pro-43, perhaps the most
sensitive scanner ever made in those ranges. Also the Pro-43 is excellent for
MilSatCom monitoring, even with a decent whip like the Radio Shack
center-loaded whip. That is exactly how I listened to MilSatComs today from a
Pro-43 I have hanging on my bookcase.
You will get double your asking price for the Pro-43 if you advertise it on
Email groups or Usenet groups where Mil Comms Monitors hang out. Here they
just consider it an old scanner.
