[Scan-DC] New scanner programming?

[Doug K.]

Wayll, since we have a discussion going...

I had a h*lluva learning curve with the Uniden 796 when I first got it, as 
far as learning to (first) use it and (second, and even longer curve) 
programming it.  Learning to program it is virtually another hobby... so I 
have to maintain that the RS radios have the advantage if one wants one to 
"plug and play".

Haven't heard the audio on the RS scanner, but as John and I have discussed, 
the audio on his newer Uniden is much better than that on my 796.  And I 
think the Uniden covers one band that the RS doesn't... maybe a mil band?  
So ya pays your money and ya takes your choice, I guess.

Cathy, I'll email you privately about some of the talkgroup changes in Mtgy 
County.

Did you see the B-17 and B-24 this weekend?

Regards to all,

Doug
