Dan,

Sad is in the eyes of the beholder.

1. I had the scanner ordered before I became aware that Bill had a Euro
version for sale.

2. The 800 MHz blocked coverage isn't that important to me for what I
want the scanner for.

I think we didn't explain properly. Parts of the US 800 MHz band are
blocked, not just the cell band.

3. As a rule, I prefer to buy new.

Thanks for your opinion just the same.
