Howdy,
I went out and bought the PRO-18 a few days ago, and I am most likely going to take advantage of the 30 day return policy.
Background - I use my 2055 often at least a few times a week - we live out in the country and find it invaluable for storms and most recently the fires. a very good unit that has never given me and issue and does everything I want it to.
I liked the looks and the new toys on the Pro-18 and swallowed hard and bought it. I was hoping it would be good to use at home attached to my 20+ foot outdoor antenna that my 2055 lives on and then have the capability of taking it with me when I need to.
I programmed it like I have the 2055 and with the same antenna as the 2055 it does not receive anywhere near as well as my 2055.
I'm not a scanner expert but I'm not totally un-learned, I understand the basics but I'm more of a user than a hobbiest.
I'm assuming because the unit is smaller than my base station that by having to smash all that into a small case that is where I lose what ever it takes to have the same type or reception correct?
Thanks much! -S
