This submission updates my previous article concerning
experiences with the new Radio Shack PRO-24 pocket scanner.
On July 9, I returned the PRO-24 to the dealer from which it
was purchased and received another one in exchange. This
new one has a later serial number (210852) and was packaged
in a red and white box. The original unit was packaged in a
blue and white box.
The sensitivity of the replacement scanner is much better
than that of the original unit, although still not quite as
good on UHF as a friend's Fanon 6 channel scanner.
The holes on the belt clip of the new scanner are the proper
size, as contrasted to the improper molding job done on the
first one.
The squelch hysteresis was a problem on both scanners, but
my original news item detailed a fix for that.
