Radio Shack Pro-2055 Base Scanner

Pros: Easy to use, good quality, good features.
Cons: nothing I can think of

This model is a good one for beginners, and also has many of the features that more advanced users want. Many departments have gone to trunking systems, which renders older scanners pretty well useless. The Pro-2055 has more slots to store ...

Pros: It worked well when it worked!
Cons: Radio Shack is junk

After purchasing the 2055 the readout went out.
The dealer replaced it and the new one seemed to work quite well until the warranty ran out.
It now has either a orange color only or a black matrix on the readout.
I actually should have known better than to purchase from Radio Shack since in the past years their products have become less than reliable.
Too bad since in the old days Radio Shack actually had good radio products.
Now they are in competition with toy stores!
