Pros over the 8924C: The display color CRT is replaced by a EL panel, lower burn in. Duplex and Antenna connectors are N instead of BNC, better frequency range (older units) Cons: Spectrum Analyzer Is Optional, No Squelch knob, No auto frequency counter, 2.5W max input, does not decode DPL, LTR or EDACS. Bigger than 8924C But for these prices you cant complain that much On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 11:34 AM, Jeff DePolo <[email protected]> wrote: > > The older ones were general-coverage like the 892x series (100 kHz to 1 GHz, > and 1700-2000 or something like that).
