Are they any good ? Radio Shack has them on sale for 169.00 and they have
a 30% off coupon for tomorrow only from 5pm to 9pm


I wouldn't recommend the PRO-2055 to anyone because of the well-known
problem with the display going blank after a few months. Radio Shack
claims to have fixed the display problem on the newer models, but
reading the reviews of the PRO-2055 at Radio Shack's website seems to
indicate otherwise. Also, take a look at the listings for PRO-2055's
on eBay and see how many are advertised as having display problems.
The PRO-433 is a better bet. I've had mine for at least six months
now, and the display still works perfectly.
