They might. I bought my 246 there Nov 2005. Had other Unidens too. The 15/996 had not been invented at that time. Call 'em !

They had some scanners the last time I was there in December.

Not to be to far off topic but to MIKEY, dont forget you wont get OPP with either of those scanners.

And if Toronto Police switch over to digital (wont be till 2012 if you believe the rumours).. well if they do go digital you wont get Toronto Police then. But if your like the rest of us youll be on another scanner in 3 years.

Just word of advice.

$50 for programming a scanner seems a bit steep. But if you need it you need it.

If your adventurous Id say get bctool or freescan and program it on your own.. the 15 should come with a PC cable (I dont think the 15 does)

 

[torontokris]

Between the 2 id recommenced the BCT15 for sure...

the bct8 has only 250 channels, the 15 has 2500 (as well as many other options)

and since Durham has the 15 for basically the same price as the bct8 at LakeShore then go for the15..

Radioworld also has the BCT15 for $300 (in case your closer to that part of the city)

PSR-500 0r PSR-600 both come with cable and software for programming yourself... dont be foolish... get the best!

Your comparing the top of the line GRE digitals with the middle line analog BCT15.

The comparable top of the line Uniden digital scanners come with PC cable and full version software as well.

There are also free programs for the Uniden scanners (BCtool etc) which have features like cmoputer control) and are not available for GRE comparible scanners



The comparable GRE PSR- 400 does not. In fact it doesnt even come with a cable. Nor can it be PC controlled



Now whos the best?

PSR-500 0r PSR-600 both come with cable and software for programming yourself... dont be foolish... get the best!
