When they come out with the remote head unit and take my defective 536 for trade in.The Whistler scanners are out,anyone get one yet?
Not till the prices come down.
Which is the point. The Pro-106 is 6 years old and people are expecting prices to match the age.Its a Pro106.

Has anyone seen a cost/credit/rebate table for the trade in program...wouldnt mind sending in my 800 for a 500(or whatever the Whistler equivalent is)When they come out with the remote head unit and take my defective 536 for trade in.
I don't see Uniden matching their prices to the age of their 5yr old scanner BCD396XT , they are right around the same price as the Whistler scanners, if not more.
Nice to see some common sense and reason. People seem to be overlooking the fact that the old gen Unidens are in the same price range.The 396xt is about the same age, and sells for the same price, in case you hadn't checked lately. Why shouldn't the equivalent Whistler sell for the same if they are basically the same in capabilities?
Don't need a new radio myself, so I haven't been watching the "scene" to closely. However, I do not believe there could possibly be a new Whistler scanner superior to either of my two GRE 800s. And to be fair, I would say the same thing about my three HP-1(E)s, as they relate to Uniden. These statements are based upon my own personal listening requirements and experience, and are (admittedly) unlikely to be the same for everyone (maybe anyone) else.Has anyone seen a cost/credit/rebate table for the trade in program...wouldnt mind sending in my 800 for a 500(or whatever the Whistler equivalent is)
Whats age really got to do with it,the models capabilities are a static issue.
Its not like mileage on a car,they come out with a model then change the trim from year to year.
there are plenty of systems that are P1 P25 digital,and plenty of buyers who have no care about
big displays with multiple lines of system info.Many just want a radio that will work in their area,and the convenience of alpha tags.
The popularity is as easy to find as the bids that are placed on models that come up for sale on Ebay,
The pro96 still sells,106's,500's...pro97's...PSR310's go fast..(wish I still had my 310)...
Its more about the consumers needs and that will keep the prices where they are.
The 310 is a nice radio, isn't it? Mine is a workhorse for quite a few of the local trunking systems. Gonna pull the trigger one of these days for a 410.Whats age really got to do with it,the models capabilities are a static issue.
