Consumer review (radioshack.com)
A real shame the 160/162 were discontinued so quickly after being released. They are both excellent scanners, with great reception and high sensitivity. The only real knocks on the 160 are:
800 rebanding ready, Big clear display, Clear Signal, Easy To Use, Rugged
Internal speaker so-so, Non-adjustable steps, No narrowbanding
