what are the diferences between the 2005 and 2006 ?
MARIA

NOTHING REALLY

how do you know ?

The '2006 has a different CPU with faster scan speed and
a bi-lateral switch in the squelch hysteresis circuit.

....and it is deaf. The 2006 is not a sensitive receiver. It was
designed for urban monitoring as I found out after I had bought one and
compared it to my other scanner's performance.

Well..it's NOT the most sensitive RCVR, but however...that in itself is a
blessing! A lot of times a RCVR that hears down to .5 microvolt WONT hear
all the crap a RCVR that hears down to .1Microvolt will. People put pre-amps
in front of some RCVRS..only to "Desense" the front end to the point they
are deaf.
I have several RCVR's here and the PRO-2006 hears as good as many of them.
It outperforms a lot of them on the 902-935Mhz band. While the Yaesu VR-120
is making gurgles, the PRO-2006 is quiet (or hears what is REALLY
there)...Eddie
