The one overly fond of Latin and French.

I have always had a soft spot for Electra Bearcat, since the day I got my
Bearcat 250 and stopped buying crystals.

Bearcat 250s were really cool. I loved the bright red LED frequency
display, rolling zeros, and chiclet buttons. Scanning was a lot easier
before these damn trunking systems came along. There's two
malfunctioning 250s stored in my attic. I assume there's nowhere to
send them for repairs anymore.

I expect Uniden will attempt to fix them, but what is there to listen to
on conventional now?

At least where I am, not a lot. And what IS there can easily fit into a
bank (system) on one of the newer radios.

BTW, there were TWO different BC250s, the older conventional, and the
newer trunked (AND digital-capable).

And there were two BC100s, the older 16 channel hand-held that was
FABULOUS, and the newer 100 channel that was not nearly as good.

There's a BC250 and a BC250D. All the state and local cops are still
analog FM here. If they need a secure channel they use their cellphones.
