That's NOT true, there are any number of scanners JUST as good, OR
better.

The 2006 is now a mythological beast.

IF you can convince ME that there is A blowcat scanner to be HAD for UNDER
$200 that I'D be BETTER off with than a 2006,I'LL humbly FLY over and shine
YOUR shoes... Hey .. Why am I randomly capitalizing words ??


IMO, a BC895XLT. Good coverage. Excellent performance. Basic
TrunkTracking, and CTCSS for $189 new, and about $125 used. You can
also find a BC780XLT for around $225 used, which makes the 2006 really
look like a toy.

I agree. The 895 is probably the best bargain scanner, and it can also
be computer controlled. The 2006 isn't even in the same league as the
780, yet people pay the same price or more for the 2006 because they
think they're getting something special with an "unblocked" receiver.
