Is it just me, or does this radio suck? Okay, let me clarify.
In closed mode, where you must enter talkgroup IDs - the Pro-92 seems fine.
However, in open mode, where the radio is supposed to lock up on every ID it finds, it's just plain terrible!
My pro-90 will pick up a new ID nearly every second, or every time I hit "SRCH". Picking up new ID's is part of the fun of trunk scanning, IMHO.
On the pro-92, this is not the case. I'm lucky to get a new ID on open mode every 10 secs. And sometimes, the scanner will lock on a freq, but it won't display the ID...?
My pro-90 picks up nearly 99.9% of the IDs correctly.
Is everyone else seeing this as well?
I just picked up the pro-92b a few days ago, and I'm ready to take it back. Aside from the Alpha tags, I don't see any use for this radio. I just hope the pro-93 isn't as bad. (I'll just exchange it.)
