Okay, so I'm getting ready to buy my first scanner. I've narrowed it down to 2 scanners:
PRO-106
PRO-106 39,000-Channel Digital Handheld Scanner - RadioShack.com
PRO-197
PRO-197 39,000-Channel Digital Desktop Scanner - RadioShack.com
I've heard the pro-197 is just a pro-106 in a box. Is that true?
Both scanners are the same price.....so obviously I would want the best out of the two. Is one better than the other? My local departments are still on analog, but I'll also be monitoring some digital stuff eventually.
I also see the PRO-106 handheld needs batteries. Is there an AC plug that comes with it, or does it have to be on batteries? I think the pro-197 has an AC plug.
Also, if I remove the batteries or un-plug the scanner, do I have to re-program it every time?
My biggest needs would be the one with the best audio quality and range.
Sorry for all the question......thanks!
