Check out the description on this Pro-96. The sad part is some idiot
will believe it. My favorite line is if the bidding reaches $700,
he'll pay the shipping. shaking head

You can buy the scanner on Radio Shack's website for $499! Why would anyone pay
$700 for it!? This guy must be high. Also, Rat Shack charges $22 for shipping!!
It can't cost them more than $8 or $9 to ship it! Is it made out of lead?!

I love the part that says "most police/fire/emergency radio systems are now
digital".

That's a real riot, considering that the county fire frequencies are all still
in the VHF-LOW band (30 mhz!) here and EMS is in the 150's! Hell, Monmouth
County, to the north of me, is mostly in the 150's for all o the police
departments! There are maybe 2 towns around here that are digital, one on
800mhz, county police are on 500mhz trunked, state police are 800mhz trunked
and everyone else is in the 150's!

My favorite is

"Get rid of your old analog trunking scanner because most
police/fire/emergency radio systems are now digital and most of the
analog can't even monitor them."

'MOST'???
