Is PRO-2035 a good scanner?
 

There is a pawn shop locally that has a PRO-2035 by Radio Shack. Excellent
shape, tons of bands & 1000 channel memory. Anyone here have one & would
you suggest buying one? What is an average used price?

Can you suggest any other radios that have the most frequencies for the
cheapest price? Looking for a home unit base. No handheld, but maybe
mobile.

Thanks!

This is all going to depend on if your local PD and FD are on a trunking=20
system or not. If they are then pass on the 2035. BTW how much are they=20
asking for it?

Only one local PD is trunking & it is in the 857.000 range. The pawn shop
wants $275 but I have seen them go for as low as $80.

I would like a scanner that will cover nearly everything from 25-1300. I
heard the Uniden BC350-C is a good one for that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, I will have a look around for that one. Do you know exactly which
frequencies it covers?

Thanks!

The 2035 is a very mediocre performer, and was quickly replaced by the
2042. There are so many better radios. IMO the best bargain in used
scanners is the BC895XLT. You can pick one up used for around
$100-$125. It is an excellent performer, has basic trunktracking, and
excellent frequency coverage. If you decide you want the 2035, don't
pay more than $100 for it.... Also, the older 2004 and 2006 have
better filters and blow the 2035 away in terms of performance.
