Had one got a s meter driver for it put an s meter form a cb on top of it I live in lreland got Heathrow Tower one night on it must have been skip great radio in its day sound squelch on it
had a few of these in the past, never grow tired of them, oldie but goodie! I have a realistic 2042 that is a "keeper", theres a lot to be said about "good ol, realistic scanners", 🤗🤗💘💘....
I still have my 2006 from when I bought it new in the 90s. It's special because few scanners are triple conversion IF and this is one of them. I also have the Opto electronics 456 computer interface board that I haven't installed yet, hospital 6 one day I will. The 2006 is also the most modded scanners ever made, due to the many ways to access the circuitry inside and Bill from San Diego did a great job publishing his mods in his books. So this is a classic model that was very special back when and very popular. The manufacturer GRE in Japan was well known for making good quality scanning receivers. The UI is indeed odd and if you haven't used it for a while you will forget how to program it. The EL can be replaced but it's a bit of work, unfortunately. It is also quite a fast scanner, so the ham radio or general receiver can't match that speed. (Today we have SDR so that's another era.)
Just bought one and waiting for shipment. Another one at my collection. I really love those toys - especially at my reagion ( SW of Poland ) there is stil a lot of analog radio traffic. I have also PRO 2042, PRO 37, PRO 2022 and other as - Yaesu VR500, Icom IC R6 (IMO the best hand scanner), Icom IC R20 ,Youpiteru 7100, Uniden UBC785, UBC 780, UBC 9000, Alinco DJX3 (the worst scanner I own), Albrecht AE 72...
Hi there, I'm a complete newbie about radios, but I'm getting into it. I’ve seen an advertisement recently that caught my eye of a Realistic 400 pro-2005. I would like to buy it, but I kind of remember watching a video saying that most of the frequencies nowadays, especially police, fire fighters, etc., are digital. I'm not sure, but I think the 400 pro-2005 is not digital, right? So, it would be fair to say this model of scanner is not that worthy anymore, isn't it? Am I correct? What could I still do with this kind of model? Thanks in advance.

That radio is pristine! Even the backlight is in great shape. Probably the best scanner on the market in its day.

I read somewhere to use an external speaker
with this one, will sound quite a bit better.
Just found one of these for $5 at a thrift store.

@aldo3ortiz Hi , if you're in the UK then this radio will only receive ham, taxis, and services. No police, nothing will receive that in the UK..
@@onthebench3606 Thank you, I really appreciate the input.
Would Sdr be better 🤔
Yes ! It would be. ..
