I need some help. Being almost 80, and have not been into scanning. I had a PRO 2004 that I cooked while trying to install a back light. Should have pulled the plug instead of just turning off. Anyway, been looking for something to occupy my time, so I drug out my Cobra and Scanner of which could have died from being unused! A friend has offered to sell me a BC8500XLT for well under a hundred. I have scoured the internet for info. Needless to say there is very little info out there. Seems Uniden quickly went to the BC 9000XLT. Listen, I don't need anything fancy, in fact we live in a rural area and I don't even know if I can pick up anything. So will I be happy with it? Earle
