Good point and great idea of going to Radio Shack in town. I'm sure
others
have gone there looking for the same.

Will anything from RS even survive rebanding???


Who knows. I would not recommend buying anything from them, just use it to
see if you can actually hear what the PD is sending. It's real iffy asking
around. Someone may "tell" you it's something you can pick up, but if you
buy a Digital Scanner then find out they did not know what they were talking
about, you are sitting there with an expensive scanner that will do you no
good. We have a P-25 system here, but I have never been able to find out for
sure if it can be monitored or not. I have found that the only way to know
for sure is find a Digital scanner and try it. If a Pro-96 will pick it up,
then you can thank them, go out and buy a Uniden.



Then realize you liked the Pro-96 better and take it back.
