So I went ahead and bought a new trunking scanner.

Up as the title says I picked up a new trunking scanner. Haven't had a new one since my Pro-94 and that was about 7 years ago. I have using commercial radios to monitor the local edacs systems and I will continue to do so, Just wanted something so I can search for new talk groups...I picked up a pro 106 yesterday just to return it today and exchange it with a pro-197... I wasn't really happy with the audio on the 106 not loud enough for my taste

I hope you were able to get it on sale.

If you took the time and read the manuel, you would have found out that the 106 has audio boost. It will blow your socks off.

Both scanner work quite well in your neck of the woods. I have two 197's and a 106. As another poster said, there is audio boost, though I've never had to use it. Both scanners decode NYSEG p25 very nicely. You might have gotten a bad 106.

Shadcall-Yes I was able to get it for the sale price which made me very happy!

Snorkel-I used the audio boost feature didn't really make a difference, I've been spoiled by the audio of commercial radios that I own.

N2MWE-That may be true I may have gotten a bad 106, but the audio on the 197 seems pretty good, nice and loud. I currently have NYCOMCO's Walker system programed in it and I say I do like the fact that the radio ID's are displayed, I really just wanted something for the shack so I could be able to scan for new talkgroups if they arise, can't do that on a 300P or any commercial radio LOL.
