As a Radioshack dealer, I will agree that this is one of the nicest little
scanners that they came out with. At first looks of it, I was not
impressed, with on hands playing with it at the show, it made it's way into
the store. Although the sale ended today, I am certain that it will be
going on sale numerous times throughout the year. I can't tell you when,
but it will. Check with some of your dealer stores, not company owned, and
they may be willing to honor the $60.00 price if they have any left.
