OPINION WANTED: RS Pro 82
 

I cannot seem to find to much in the way of reviews or opinions on this
scanner from the usual sources.

Is this a decent scanner, or would I be better to buy a new Pro 83?

Your opinions and answers are appreciated.

Much Respect,

Charlie Chan

The 83 is a simple handheld 200 channel scanner. No alpha tags. No
tone control. No trunking. It has one major feature called Signal
Stalker. It is a built in frequency counter that finds strong signals
and automatically tunes in to them. I've been using mine since the
day after Thanksgiving and it's only use is frequency counter
mode......

If you need any more than this, the 83 doesn't have it.



OK, but what about the 82 ? What advantages does it offer (if you
know)?

I'm a bit mystified that I can't find one review on this scanner. I
googled it to death, but there's literally an information void on this
unit.

The PRO-82 is an excellent scanner, if your needs are within it's
capabilities. The frequency coverage is: 29-54, 108-174, 380-512MHz.
There is no coverage in the 800MHz spectrum.

It's not reviewed, or talked about much, because it's "yesterday's news", so
to speak. Nothing to get excited about, no state-of-the-art features, but
does what it does, very well. The price is certainly right!

Bill,

Now that's the quality response I was looking for! Outstanding, even-
keeled information.

Thank you- I definitely appreciate it.
