I just got the radio back, it is the same one. It will likely be a while before I get another one, as I mentioned above. It is very frustrating that a portable radio cannot withstand a drop. I still have a 200XLT that I bought 20 years ago that still works great, but pretty much useless now since most everything here is digital. It has withstood multiple drops over the years. I guess they don't make stuff like they used to.

RS & Dead Radio
I would be pretty disappointed if my radio were dead. I know this was likely difficult news for you. Hopefully, in the future, you will find a radio that is able to roll with the punches. But, even the best radios can die with the wrong hit.
In my opinion, RS should have worked with you. In the future, remember that GRE is, in my opinion, friendlier toward customers, particularly in the gray areas. Should you ever need their phone number, I have it loaded on speed dial.
Hope things work out for you, buddy. You might check some of the pawn shops. Then, you would have spare parts for another Pro-106.

I would agree with Jason.... They don't make ANYTHING like they used to. Everything's mass produced as cheap as possible. Sandman, I would look into exploring carrying options for your scanner, They make several different types that cover your scanner's keypad and display, as well as protect it from the deathly drops. Just do a general search on google for handheald scanner cases. Maybe you can find you something that will help prevent any future breaks.

RS told me a month ago my pro scanner board was gone, but I did some more trouble shooting myself it was the adapt plug gone bad. now it error message Wow!!
