Out of cold weather boredom, I stopped into my local Radio Shack store, and found the new PRO-651 on sale for $319.99, and bought one. Having owned a few PRO-106's in the past, I wasn't expecting any changes other than cosmetic.
I was pleasantly surprised to discover the programming port (PC/IF) was now full-duplex, and programing upload/download speeds had doubled! Considering I do this more frequently than most, this is awesome!
The other surprise was that the P25 decode, and audio sharpness/clarity, seems to be somewhat better on the PRO-651, than I recall it being on the PRO-106. This could be my optimistic imagination, or considering I'll be 65 this year, maybe I just forgot how well the PRO-106 used to perform. Or could it be I've been around too many Unidens lately? :cool:
I considered getting the PRO-668, but I really prefer the form factor, key pad, and operational options of the PRO-651.
If you don't need P25 Phase 2 capability, now, or in the future, I highly recommend the PRO-651!
p.s. This should quell all the members accusing me of being a Uniden Fan Boy in recent months.
