Older Scanners with Alphanumeric Displays

[TurkIII]

Can anyone recommend an older mobile scanner that has an alphanumeric display that I might be able to pick up on eBay? I know that Radio Shack now makes the Pro 2096 and Pro 2055, but I don't want to spend over $200!

Any suggestions about old or no longer made scanners?

The RS Pro2067 comes to mind, and you might be able to find an old RELM MS200.
Neither is a real stellar radio, but the price would be right.

You Can Check For A Uniden BC 8500 XLT, Not digital Mind You, But The Alpha Numeric Display Is Larger Than Most.



It's My B/U Rig For The Lowbands/VHF/UHF

Forget How Old It Is, Price Should Not Be Too Bad I Would Think

Radio Shack PRO-2053

There's a table about 2/3 way down the page which lists alpha tag capability as one of its factors...

Uniden M8100.

DANG!! thats a blast from the past! Sold mine last year on ebay. Quite a hot reciever, mine was. I remember running it to monitor my local PD without an antenna! Had it mounted in the "work" car for a time, as well. I remember one of the radio techs coming to work on my main radio and recoiling in terror when he saw the MR8100.
"That display looks like it does Braille characters! Never mind how huge it is!!!"

Think i might try to pick up another...

What I own/have owned...

2055 x 2
2053 x 2
2067
MR8100

The 2055 when on sale for $150 is fantastic !!!!
My 2053s are nice looking as a base or mobile, with a large display.
The 2067 was complete garbage, could not RX a hi-power UHF repeater five miles away.
The MR8100 is just old school

Don't forget about the BC780XLT.

Don't forget about the BC780XLT.

Or the BC796D.

Or the BC796D.

How many times do you see 796s for less than $200?

It could happen.

If you want a large one, consider Uniden's BC9000-XLT.
