Here is a little update, comparing the two:

I know the PRO-2052 does not have a mode switch (AM/FM/NFM). I was very
certain that it did not cover military air either...but a brief review on
Strong Signals, indicates that is does. I'm not able to confirm that,
reading the specs.

Here is a link to Radio Shacks manual, for the PRO-2052. It does show "UHF"
aircraft, 225~400MHz, but it doesn't indicate if it's AM, or FM.

Here is the link to the "First Impressions" review on Strong Signals;

I also forgot to mention, the BC898-T, also allows you to override default
frequency steps, and change them! It also has a nice, large, tuning knob! It
has the ability to scan trunked, and conventional at the same time.

The Radio Shack PRO-2052 feels cheap...all plastic, weighs only 1.7 lbs.

The Uniden BC898-T feels like quality...all metal, except for front panel,
weighs in at a hefty 4 lbs!
