Radio Shack Pro-160

[jfmuller 23]

Radio Shack is clearing out Pro-160 scanners, I just picked one up yesterday. Not a bad scanner with trunking, Alpha tags, and PL tones and under $150. (129.97 or ~140 with NYS tax.) Took a couple of hours to program by hand with EDACS NYCOMCO Beacon, and Illinois systems, and conventional with alpha tags and PL tones.

Worth a look if you are in need of a cheap mobile, or desktop scanner.

Do you know if it has S.A.M.E. weather alert? I have a sister in Tornado Alley and I want to set up something better for her...thanks

It does have S.A.M.E but it's either a scanner or a S.A.M.E. weather alert radio, you can't have both. If you are looking for just S.A.M.E. there are much better products out there that do just that with battery backup which this scanner does not have.
