[TrunkCom] New Scanner Pricing

[Marcelrf@bellsouth.net]

Like I have always said Uniden /Rat Shack are going to suck the consumer DRY!
Now  the 296D is more than an Astro Saber.....

BTW what is a 296D? Let me guess a 3600/9600 Baud P-25 scanner? Does it do 700Mhz
yet? Or is that another $1,000.00?

Go with the ICOM at least it holds it value better than a scanner.
