So, I bought the Pro-164 a couple of days ago and have been having a lot of fun learning how to use it, program it, etc., Thanks to this site, I've managed to go quite far in my understanding. However, I keep having this nagging feeling that maybe I should've purchased the Pro-163 -- but, admittedly, I'm not sure how they differ other than one is hand-held and the other isn't.
Are there reasons, other than mobility, that one would choose one radio over the other? Does the Pro-163 possibly have better reception or processing or something? Since I picked up the radio at RadioShack, I can take back my mobile and swap for the 163.....so this just has me thinking.
Anyway, I've love to hear your thoughts. I've scoured RadioShack's site to see if I could find a difference....and I've read a zillion pages on this site, but haven't really found my answer (but sorry if this is a repeat question).
After I settle on my radio, I'm soon going to be reaching to antennae...probably for amateur radio reception. Maybe I'll try to rig my own Anyway, this has been fun learning all about this. Three days ago, I was clueless.
