DOH! You're right...didn't see the others for some reason (old age). Sorry. :wink:

We will let you off with just a warning this time

And at the price described, I'm sure you'll buy a bunch of them ;-)

Yeah right, Rat Shack is a rip off..esp with the Uniden Scanners. You would have to be a total idiot to buy a Uniden product from them without emptying your wallet.

Well, several years ago I bought a Uniden-made Pro 91 from fav RS and it was a good scanner and stil has some uses here.
I only bought it because it took regular AA rechargable batteries rather than the usual Uniden "battery pack".

Still a good unit for VHF/UHF Analog...

This thread is not a slam against Uniden products. It is a slam against RS selling Uniden with an unbelievable markup.

Enjoy your scanner

the rs in my town is defintly high priced compared to the the other shop that i go to birches commuations they are a ceritfied uniden dealer that told me rs is high priced so i bought my bct 8 from and found out that i saved $100 i plan on getting my next uniden soon and it wont be from rs. i do have a rs hand held triple trunk and the bnc come loose so i guess quality isnt their strongpoint either

radio shack is using the list price that uniden put on the scanners. They don't plan on selling many, it just makes their scanners look better. Get on uniden for setting such a high list price.

Radio Shack regularly has their scanners on sale. When was the last time you saw uniden putting a scanner on sale.

HOLEY COW, 699.99 for a 396 ??? They ARE smoking crack!
