> Some of our public safety agencies here in the Santa Clara valley are
> starting to use the APCO 25 digital format.
>
> Have any of you used the Bearcat b c d 396 t, or the GRE 500 hand held
> scanner? I understand that the GRE 500 is the same radio as the new Radio
> Shack model 106.
>
> I am curious to know how accessible these radios might be?
