Whats your point - Its still a great scanner - Till this day blows
most anything away that blowcat offers -

That's NOT true, there are any number of scanners JUST as good, OR
better.

The 2006 is now a mythological beast.


IF you can convince ME that there is A blowcat scanner to be HAD for
UNDER $200 that I'D be BETTER off with than a 2006,I'LL humbly FLY
over and shine YOUR shoes... Hey .. Why am I randomly capitalizing
words ??


IMO, a BC895XLT. Good coverage. Excellent performance. Basic
TrunkTracking, and CTCSS for $189 new, and about $125 used. You can
also find a BC780XLT for around $225 used, which makes the 2006 really
look like a toy.

Fair enough - I know nothing of their capabilities,so will give you the
benifit of the doubt.
Quick question - Do either or both of them cover mil air ?
If not,they are about as useful to me as a scanner as a hookless fishline.
Trunktracking is a feature that has so far not grabbed my interest - Is it
really that useful ?
CTCSS too - Really,have you actually garnered any use out of knowing what
numbers the little squeals represent ?
