HELP for a railfan's wife

I'm a Radio Shack scanner person too. My first handheld Pro32 lasted me about 12 years at least. I've dropped it on the tracks a dozen times. <br />I now own a Pro92 handheld. It's a good scanner. <br /> <br />I fully agree that a gift certificate would be best. And the scanners do go on sale after the holidays. Not many of us will be out railfanning in bad weather. I could wait for a sale muself...... <br /> <br />I wasn't able to afford anything else at the time I bought it but I do believe that there is an adapter that is available for handhelds, that helps to boost the power. Check the catalog. I'm sure it's a special order item. I believe it was about $25 or so. Maybe a bit more. I doubt it would add any bulk to the scanner either. <br /> <br />Also beware of regulations about carrying scanners especialy in cars. Many states have different rules! <br /> <br />One extra I did buy was a lapel speaker. It helps you to hear the chatter when it's either very windy or a train is rumbling by and you can't hear your scanner. It also helps to get the sound closer to my video camera as I'm filming. I enjoy that sound on my tapes too.
