This is one of the best scanners I have ever owned. I have to admit, the object oriented programming confused me a little at first, but soon I had it figured out. It was brand new and he sold it to me for $325, Just about what the clone, the Radio Shack Pro-106 went for when it was on sale, with the programming cable. I didn't bite on a PSR-500 until I found one for sale by a user on a forum. The standard on this radio is set at 180mw. Reception is very good and sensitive! If the audio is too low on transmissions there is also a setting you can use that will boost it up to 250mw. It's the only scanner out there you can do this with. With the WIN500 program from starrsoft, you can actually fine tune this. It has a squelch fade on the CTCSS however, not on the DCS encoding. When I first bought the 500, this was the first time I had a receiver that would pick up the NAC codes!.so I setup the radio to receive the NAC so that I could store. I live where it is very hot, and if left in the trunk.the key pad sticks to the PC board.Įarlier 5-star review posted by KA6CAI on The only con I had with the scanner is the keypad. Recently, Whistler bought out GRE scanners and sell them for a lot more, but do exactly the same thing. Rating this scanner, it is at the top of the list for performance. I do like the audio boost, and the narrow fm filter and also the programmable LED light. I bought this scanner in 2008 to replace the pro96 from Radioshack.
