Default PRO-96 NCCo reception question.

Hello,

I'm thinking about getting a PRO-96 since the price recently dropped. I'm hearing mixed reviews about reception being terrible for P25 systems, and others saying it does a fine job in their area.....Does anyone own or have any experience with the radio in NCCo?


Thanks, Jay.

Hello,

The PRO 96 is a fine scanner made by GRE America. There are no issues using it for NCCo. Don't believe the hype!

This is too funny. I owned a Uniden 396, and I sold it 6 months ago because it was just bad (for me) to monitor New Castle...to much 'alien' voices and garble I have been waiting for the Pro-96 to go on sale, and to my surprise, I noticed the price decrease. I just bought it last night.

I am hoping to better! We shall soon see.

PS>> Don't wait to buy one. They are discontinued for their newer model, so what is in stock is all they have.

Well, it's all programmed, and I must say the reception for New Castle PD is soooooooo much better than the Undien 396. Very happy indeed.

One thing though......it looks & feels so much cheaper than the Pro-97, which is the lower end scanner......odd. Maybe the technology for digital requires smaller parts!
