Review Summary For : Realistic PRO-2006 (the famous)-Bill Cheek Favorite!
Reviews: 22MSRP: 400
Description:
Super. I believe it is what they call a "GRE" scanner from Japan. Highly modifiable. Highly regarded by all scanner gurus and BILL CHEEK (God Bless). Without a doubt, the worlds most popular scanner of all time. Great sensitivity and selectivity. Japanese quality throughout. Easy full 800 Mhz. Hyperscan. Many aftermarket accessories for trunking, etc. Hard to go wrong on this one. Tandy did'nt make enough of 'em! A classic!
Product is not in production

A Classic! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Great scanner. I've owned mine since 1993 and I wouldn't sell it for anything.Well, maybe trade it for a new Kenwood TS-2000 :) One of the few scanners that will receive the 220 ham band and military aircraft. Lots of mods available. Triple conversion makes this a good choice for those living in cities. That said, it does sometmes have problems with pager intermod on VHF. This may be due to my location and not a fault of the rig. Also, the luminescent display will become dimmer over time, but there is a replacement available from RadioShack. So far, after 7 years of heavy use, the panel on my rig is still fine, but I've heard of others having this problem.
