The Pro-2004 was on sale for a few weeks last summer.  Don't hold your 
breath for another sale.  Typically Radio Shack only puts stuff on sale
that aren't selling well.  Unfortunately, the PRO-2004 has been doing
OK at it's $430 price.

However, there is a shortcut!  Grove Enterprises (the publisher of
Monitoring Times, a pretty good magazine) sells it at $389, including
an instruction sheet that tells you how to modify it for cellular
coverage.  If anybody wants the address/ordering info/telephone number
for Grove, let me know and I'll find it for you.

By the way, I have a 2004 (that I bought at full price) and I love it
(just a little info for those that are thinking about buying one).

I've done the following mods and anybody that is interested in how to
do them can send me mail:

Cellular coverage
Turbo-Scan
400 memory channels
Carrier-detection light
Remote control (scan, manual, search up/down - other keys are just as easy
to duplicate)
Tape On/Off relay (for use with the "remote" jack on a tape player to
turn it on and off when a carrier is found either in search or scan
mode).

Happy scanning!
