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.)

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

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...

I read somewhere to use an external speaker with this one, will sound quite a bit better.
