Wow. I used this to calculate what the price would be in today's dollars. This is for 2016 it would cost $1252.55. Well above what the SDS scanners are going for.

If scanner's were in so much high demand then those prices would still be the same. Also, keep in mind that scanners were built a little more rugged too and everything was in the clear. So I understand the inflation calculator but there are so many variables now. If you sold that SDS-200 scanner for over 1200 bucks today they would not sell since the demand is declining. The younger generations are not getting into the hobby. The uptick in the trend in technology is not in the scanner business. People are glued to iphones and social media now. Sign of the times. Also, as the buzz word for "security" gets even greater the scanner market will decline. Privacy is the "buzz" word on the streets now.
An ad showing the first 4 programmable scanners from Communications Enginnering. This is from 1976 I believe. I had the 101. What an innovation back in the day
Does anybody know what year this ad was released since 400 bucks back then was a boat load of money most likely
When I bought my 210, I didn't think there would ever be a need for another scanner. Boy was I wrong!Paid $265.00 plus 4% tax for a Bearcat 210 in 1977, and I did get an employee discount.
Close but that is there 2nd programmable.
