The new 1984 Radio Shack catalog is out. Page 76 shows two new synthesized scanners: o+ PRO-30: 16 channel handheld for $300. Uses 6 "AA" batteries and 4 silver oxide batteries for memory (scanner available September 30). o+ PRO-2003: 60 channel base/mobile for $350. Ten channels are dedicated for FM broadcast frequencies. Page 78 shows a new crystal controlled scanner: o+ PRO-25: 8 channel portable for $150 which covers VHF- LO, VHF-HI, UHF, and Aircraft bands. Page 79 shows a Sony 2001 clone digital general coverage receiver with keypad entry for $300. If you're interested in one of these radios, but think the price is too high, you can wait a few months. This stuff will probably be on sale some time in the future. -- ============================================================================ Robert S.
