Granted only few % of population want to listen to scanner.
Still, $$$$ (average $500) for a electronic device is a bit too much.
Don't you think?

I can buy a nice PC for $500!!!

Actually, my experience is that most scanners are bargains! I just got two
Radioshack Pro 95 scanners for $199 each... That's 2000 channels
altogether...:-) Trunking included...

For $500 I can get a Pro 96, which is a digital scanner, but I don't need
that much capability around here (yet).
