Nice setup... love the 2006 in the first pic. Sorry I ever let mine slip away.
I also couldn't help but notice that your two Yaesus--FT-60 and VX-6 are side-by-side, as are mine. Great minds, I guess.
Always remember to sanitize after every use--although my wife springs for the Purell.
Thanks for sharing--it's a fine shack!

Thank you so much! Funnily enough, I got my Pro-2006 for $50 from a local thrift store. It was the first scanner I ever had, and I still prefer it to my SDS-100 in some ways (albeit most of that is nostalgia). You can’t separate the Yaesus! They’re social radios and always need a friend haha
Very true! Albeit I do still get a bit jealous seeing all the absolutely beautiful shacks on the forums here hahaIf it works for you and meets your needs, that is all that matters

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the PRO-2006! I actually had one that was handed down to me when I was about 10 years old, and it became a daily fixture at my desk all through high school and college. It’s a great little receiver—well, “little” in the figurative sense! 🤣🤣🤣
As a mentor of mine from our local radio shop once joked regarding a Maxtrac I asked him to look at, “This thing’s old enough to qualify for AARP!”

Sort of wish I would have kept mine too.

Are your drop in chargers plugged in on your shelf or not ? Very neat, because I don't see the power going to them.
Good looking setup. Enjoy.
That's beautiful Dude!! I'm on hand helds right now due to SMR.

It's really tough, but this is how I started. Sometimes you get more with less and I've heard more on my two scanners than I learned with eight.

Nice setup. I still have my Pro 2006 after thirty something years. It was the first 800 mhz capable scanner I bought. Took me about a week to manually enter all the frequencies into it. I was in heaven. It still works but since everything is digital, P-25, DMR and NXDN it It in the upstairs in a box with my Pro-2042.
After eight years in our house my wife gave me permission to convert the mudroom into to a Ham Shack and Radio Room. Got started until a surgery took me out for three to six months. It will be a summer project. So I am planning, picking paint colors, lighting, desk/cabinet layouts and radio placement. Also trying to work in a new SDS 200 scanner into the plana.

Oh yes the 2006 model.. Does anybody remember when GE used to play their tone " brings good things to life " after certain transmission? This used to happen on the first Riverside County Sheriff's trunked system. I had a radio shop install some black coated device to eliminate that.
I agree the PRO-2006 is a fine scanner. Heck in my neck of the woods, since it's still mostly analog, I use the 800XLT in my headboard every night. It's 40 years old and still going strong, even the fluorescent display still works perfectly (hope I didn't jinx it). Sometimes old is better!
