Default Any Pro-106/PSR-500 users in tulsa county?

Im trying to decide on a digital handheld scanner and have a question for anyone with a 106 or 500. Do you ever encounter any interference with your radio in the city? I know RS scanners are prone to interference and im wondering if either one of these scanners has it here in Tulsa or Broken Arrow.
Thanks!!

Keep in mind that RS will back anything they sell. GRE, OTOH, has ceased manufacturing scanners. GRE America claims they will honor warranties, but ... See threads in other forums for details.

I occasionally encounter interference on the 800 bands when I'm near hi tension lines but its nothing that can't be knocked out with a push of the attenuation button.

Ok i was just curious to know how much interference 106/500 users get in this area. I know my 2055 gets interference while on the BA expressway near lowes. Not sure what is causing it yet though. Im wondering if a uniden will have less interference.
