I have dealt with these guys before. Bought a Stryker 440HP from Radioactive radios a couple years ago. Superb customer service, and great prices. They now have a sister company, www.theradiocompany.com. I just ordered a GRE PSR100 from them for $89, $7.95 UPS ground shipping. They have all the other GRE scanners too (PSR-300 for $159 and PSR-500 for $414). Check them out.

The PSR for $414 ??

I see it for $499 and then the "special" discount box for $49 less AND you can get another $20 off if you use the RR member code. Stiil makes it $430 PLUS shipping.

I see that GRE has increased the price to the dealers... so that explains it...... everyone has to make money.

I still think it's great that theradiocompany is offering these "special" discounts.

No.. not just for RR member... if you click on it it will give a $50 discount.

RR member can add a special "CODE" to their order to receive and additional $20 off the price.

But it is something you have to do On-Line Only.... you can't call them and order a scanner and get the extra $20 off.

You can get the RR member discount on phone orders. I got it on my 600 just make sure you tell them that you are a member of RR.

You were fortunate.

The post I read by the radio co., said they were offering the extra $20 in hopes that it would save them a lot of time on the phone taking orders. They initially said it was only good for web orders.

Perhaps with the recent sale prices on the RS Pro-106, they were looking for more sales.

Heck... the gesture sure can't hurt their image with the RR members.

Glad you got it ! Enjoy the Radio.

The $414 was an old price...

Looks like current prices are $440 from rrcom.com
and $430 + shipping for radiocompany with the RR discount

I received my scanner today from The Radio Company. The service was great. I ordered online last Friday around noon. I paid $450 + shipping.

I just bought a PSR-500 from Ham Radio Outlet in Anaheim yesterday for $429.95. I was told by the helpful salesman that they would be on sale at that price through the rest of the year. They also offer free shipping on orders over $100 in case any of you still want to order a GRE scanner right now.

I did spend a bit more than what the Pro-106 was recently on sale for but I had a very good experience with GRE customer service earlier this year. I broke the antenna on one of my old Pro-2006 scanners and Radio Shack told me they were no longer available. I emailed GRE and was told that they were still available and they even contacted Radio Shack and shipped them some more of that particular antenna so that I could order one (I ordered two just in case). That really impressed me.

I was going jump on a Pro-106 at the $299 price the day they went on sale but we all know about them selling out within an hour or two of the sale starting. That combined with the attitude I received from the woman I spoke with on the Radio Shack 800 number reall ticked me off and I really didn't want to give Radio Shack my money right now anyway.

Don't forget to use the coupon/promotional code of 20STUFF08 to receive another $20 off the online order.

For $30 more you can get a PSR-500 or PSR-600 from HRO (Ham Radio Outlet) which includes the PC interface cable and a wall wart AC adapter that Radio Shack charges extra for (for the Pro-106 anyway). They offer free UPS ground shipping to your door on orders over $100. Their web site currently states that the sale has been extended to 12/31.

Just something to consider...

Just updating the thread....GRE is a excellent company as we all know for scanners. We had to work closely with GRE in order to get our site in compliance with their dealer agreements for price.
However we wanted to let RR members know, the entire GRE scanner line has the instant discount boxes that still apply. As well as we are still offering RR member discounts on top of the discounted price! PSR 500-600 RR members are still getting $20 discounts (on top of the instant discount box) just for being members. RR members on all other GRE scanners get a $10 additional discount. Just our way of continuing to thank RR members for their business.
