I see where Radio Shack has dropped prices on their digital scanners. Anyone willing to venture a guess if Uniden will follow suit?
Uniden won't, their scanners have many more features then the RS/GRE scanners. Besides with RS on the auction block it may no longer exist by this summer.

What prices are you looking at? I just checked the RS site and they still show $499 for both the PRO-106 and the PRO-197.
Prices were to be effective April 1... check again:

What feature do you get with a 396 -vs- 106 other than fire page out?
Just wondering on the 396XT -vs- 106. I may buy a XT but struggle with the price. 106 can be had for 399 -FFD around most any holiday.

Just remember that even though the radio itself is $399 you still have to consider buying other accessories that the Uniden models come with inside the box at no additional cost such as AC Adapter, Batteries, Serial PC/Data Cable.
