[Pro2006] Pro-2004 for sale

[Mike Drum]

Len,

Yes, the metal case and display are among
the reasons people like the original 2004.
I have a 2006 and love it, but it is definitely
a cheaper radio. The performance is very
good, but many cost cutting steps were
taken in it's design. I have to admit I got quite
a chuckle when it was called an antique.
It shares the same basic design/software of
the others in the series, and was made by the
same company, GRE. I wouldn't have sold my
2004 if I didn't already have two! I personally
love the sloped front panel, the membrane
keypad, and the added weight of the original.
It's a more robust radio.
