[dwunl68]

I just bought a pro 82 on Ebay. Trying to find out soke information on it dont know much about them. Trying to see if I got screwed or if it was a good deal. Anyone had one or know if they are decent scanners.

How much did you pay for it? Its just a very basic low end $100 scanner.

I gave about 50

I would have put that $50 towards a PRO-83.

I have one and really only bought it cause it was cheep and I had a employee discount. I love it for the air band. I use it in the car mounted on the dash next to my 2 meter radio. I dont have much here in the 800mhz/900mhz range other than rail and a few drive thrus so i didnt pay for waisted bands. I am happy with the radio

I just listed a PRO-82 on eBay. It is, indeed, a "basic" scanner, but a very good one as far as I'm concerned. Only reason I'm eBay'ing it is because I'm now in a trunking environment, which the -82 doesn't do. Although a "basic" scanner, it offers quite a few bands and features for a hundred bucks (Radio Shack still selling them for $99 on their web page.) If you're new to scanning and can be happy with "basic" scanning, you'll be happy with the -82.
