I am the one that suggested s scanner, not the KG-UV9.

ChemoFog, please forgive. And no the 9D is not a disposal Chinese HT. Kind of obvious, but he chose to post it. FWIW I started out looking at scanners and that is where I have returned.

I posted the question because I seldom have need of a monitoring only device so another HT would be a more practical purchase, buy none I am aware of can match the speed of an actual scanner.
