I'm kind of new to scanners and need some advise. I'm trying to
decide on either the Radio Shack Pro-92 vs the Pro-95. I don't know
how important it is to have the EF Johnson LTR that the 92 has but the
95 doesn't. Otherwise, the 500 channels of the 92 is sufficient for
me -- I don't think I need the 1000 channels that the 95 offers.

What are the other differences between 92 and 95, and is there some
factor/consideration that would be a deciding factor between the two
models?

Thanks for any advise you might offer me.

=09My impression is (I only own and use a 92 and have observed others=20
using a 95) is that the 95 trunk tracks better, but the CTCSS and DCS=20
feature of the 92 makes it a better conventional scanner. Unless you are=20
in the "fringe" area of a trunked system, I think I'd opt for a 92. You=20
might check and see if the 92 is an original model or an "A" or "B"=20
spec. The "A" or "B" variants are better at trunk tracking than the=20
straight 92. In either event, get Don Starr's software (Win92 or Win95)=20
and a cable and load your freq's and alpha tags via the computer.
