So, I found a Pro-160 on eBay with a Discone, 50ft of coax and the BNC connector. The entire package showed up literally "like new." Every single wrapper on every single part wrapped in the original packaging — including the static film that protects the display screen. Total package price? Buy It Now price of $110! I thought that was a pretty good deal.
I'm very curious about why Radio Shack gave up on the 160 so quickly. It seems like a great little scanner. But what really makes me wonder is why they went back to the smaller display with the little text on the 163. The display is why I was looking for a 160.
Vastly inferior to the BCT15 in all ways with the glorious exception of manually entering text tags. Much, much easier on the 160.
