[btl.ham-radio] Update on PRO-24 Pocket Scanner

parnass@ihuxf.UUCP (07/11/83)

       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.
