Not so sure about the 'dip****' reviewer you have mentioned *. Did you

The one overly fond of Latin and French.

I have always had a soft spot for Electra Bearcat, since the day I got my
Bearcat 250 and stopped buying crystals.


Bearcat 250s were really cool. I loved the bright red LED frequency
display, rolling zeros, and chiclet buttons. Scanning was a lot easier
before these damn trunking systems came along. There's two
malfunctioning 250s stored in my attic. I assume there's nowhere to
send them for repairs anymore.
