i paid full price for my pro 83 ($120), it was my very first scanner. its a good first scanner but its receiving capabilities dont even some close to the GRE psr100s
it's a good entry level performer.missed the 1st sale on it,so i plunked down $99.00. got my 2nd one on clearance for $59.00. good to carry as an emergency scanner in the car.not afraid to leave it in there with temp.extreme's.
