I must first thank those who have already helped me here by answering my questions.
I have now had my pro 106 for a few months and have had plenty of time to test test it.
It seems that both the sound quality (speaker distortion and frequency range) has much to be desired in such and expensive piece of electronics but I am very discouraged by the ability to lock onto a signal during a transmission and overall quality.
When I have my duty radio with me and the pro 106 there is an extremely noticeable difference in a variety of locations. In listing for a few hours I expect to have parts of conversions cut off with the scanner but in a 6 or 8 hour sift with a duty walkie talkie on the other side of my belt this never happens.
There are some locations where I have virtually no scanner reception but the walkie talkie works fine.
I am most interested in the 160-174 range digital transmissions.
Is there a better aftermarket antenna I can use when walking and hiking or is it that the reception quality of this unit will never match a Motorola walkie talkie?
