Anybody know why it is no longer listed? I thought it was advertised
as their "flagship" scanner. (At least the price certainly reflected
that!)

Does it have some problems as I've seen a few others in the NG
suggest? Hard to believe that it would be "obsoleted" yet...

What problems are you talking about? Mine has given no worries whatsoever.

Cheers.

I've seen a few posts regarding choppy or garbled audio reception with
the PRO-96. A Google web search of "Pro-96 garbled audio" brings up a
few hits as well. Explanations I have seen:

1. Problems with scanner
2. Encrypted audio (but not being detected as such)
3. Poor signal
4. Faulty/Buggy transmission network (doesn't seem likely as I would
think the PD department would be all over this in a heartbeat...)

I was just wondering if they *actually* did find some issue with the
PRO-96 since it seems to have vanished from the website...
