This is an impressive story complete with pics.Has anyone used this company before? Good experience?
That is a nice price, and if you ask me, that's about what digital scanners should cost these days NEW. It seems ridiculous to me that all these years later we are still paying $500 or more for the same basic scanners albeit with a few new bells and whistles thrown in.
I would LOVE to see either Whistler or Uniden come out with a barebones digital trunker for around this price. Think about it, if the radio ONLY did 700/800MHz trunking and only decoded P25 (no analog rx even) this price point should be doable and now that we've had P25 scanners for over a decade I think it's time the prices started coming down. I'd certainly buy more than one digital scanner every 5-10 years if the price was half of what new units sell for now.
