OK, I am sure not many here are much interested in the PSR-100, but here is a quick review anyway. I am using my older Pro-75 as a comparison, a very nice radio in it's own right.
I got the last one Glenn had on sale at Scanners Unlimited http://www.scannersunlimited.com/ for $79.95 (regular $119.95). As expected, Glenn shipped it very fast and was safely packaged.
Got it today and checked it out.
Seems like a decent conventional 29-512 MHz radio basically the same as my GRE made Pro-75 in a slightly smaller package with a couple of added features and faster scan rate. (I think it is very close to the Pro-82 but I have never seen one).
It has the SAME weather alert and the Spectrum Sweeper function (one of the main reasons I bought it). The back light is way better than my Pro-75. The sound it strong and clear. Sensitivity is on par with my Pro-75 as well.
Another plus for the PSR-100 is it only needs 4 AA batteries as opposed to my Pro-75 which requires 6.
The PSR-100 came with a second yellow battery holder for rechargeable batteries and an AC charger.
It is supposed to be PC Programmable but did not come with a cable and the manual does not mention any available software to program it (not that it is really needed for such a simple radio anyway).
All in all it is a nice little radio well worth the price.
