Pro-94 or Pro-97?

[nirmalmakadia]

Hey guys....

Which one do you suggest? 94 or 97? What's the major difference apart from the price?

Regards

Pro-97 all the way.
The Pro-97 adds alpha-tags, CTCSS/DCS, Signal Stalker II, and can be programmed using Win97.

The 97 supports alpha numerics. Which is nice to not have to remember what channel belongs to which department. CT and DCT support. Plus it support a third type of trunking known as LTR. They have them on sale from time to time for $150.

The 97 includes the MILITARY UHF frequency range,CTCSS and DCS decoding and many other nice features.

I just pcked up a 97 for $99 at a RS that is closing,I think they may be on sale at some regular locations as well

You can compare the specs on each with these links....

I wouldn't pay anything more than $75 for a PRO-94.

It is a cheap out of date scanner in my opinon.

The PRO-97 is an excellent scanner.. Worth every penny.

Alphanumeric Texting and WIN97 would definitely tip the scales in favor of the PRO-97, not to mention LTR tracking.

97 no question.

 

[Colin9690]

PRO-97 no question.

I can't believe RS still sells the 94. I own one, and I haven't used it in two years.

pro-94 or 97

If for some reason you must have a Uniden made radio, and not gre, then buy a used BC245. It's so much better than the '94, you won't believe it. Austin

pro-97,pro-97,pro-97.could not be happier with mine.fantastic scanner !.bought a 94 about 5 year's ago and returned it the next day.audio was about the crappiest ever.had 1,000 channel's divided between a/b could not scan them all at same time.no pl/dpl or alpha.limited frequency coverage.

I got a 97 when it first came out. I LOVE it! I only "upgraded" to a 96 recently because my area is going digital in the near future, and it was on sale.

A 97 is a real treat at a military air show!
