You should look in to getting a PRO-2055 as well, they make a great pair. I believe they are on sale too. Congrats!

Bought a 97 in store last week with the USB cable and 800mhz ant.

WOW!

Incredible piece of technology. I love it.

When you buy a 800mhz ant. does it only work for the 800mhz range on your scanner?

It works BEST on 800, but does pick up other freqs as well. I am using it on the back of my pro2055 and 2053 that I use as mobiles, mounted on the dash. It does a well enough job on VHF & UHF most of the time. You can always try it and see.

It seemed to improve my pickup for surrounding areas.

Right now I've only really had it in the Wilmington, NC area, so picking up the main site for the county itsn't that bad. There's a southside site that didn't do so well with the stock antenna, but with the 800 mhz ant., it's done a lot better.

Grog---have you found it works well for the 2055?

 

[Grog]

Like I said, I use it mobile on the back of the units while they sit (bolted) to the dash of my vechicles. Seeing as how the antenna is laying flat, it does a good enough job. It just depends on where the unit is mounted, as if you have a chance of getting it to work well enough.

I got my pro97 for fathers day and it improved my signal and i love the way it shows what mode everyone is using. excellent piece of technology.

Will it monitor trunked radio?

My PRO 97 is on the way in the mail.. including a USB cable! I can't wait!

Will the Pro97 monitor systems like the Ohio MARCS system? Thanks, Steve/KB8FAR

MARCS is APCO-25 (digital), so no, the Pro-97 would not be able to monitor it. You'd need either the Pro-96/-2096, or Uniden BCD396T, BCD996T, BCD296, BCD796.

I am looking at the Pro-96 or the BCD396T for digital as well,I am thinking the 396T looks like a decent radio
