No such thing as a good quality scanner receiver when compared to a commercial quality setup. A scanner is a receiver of compromised design. Not something that would ever be suitable for a base or repeater setup. You need to have your current setup evaluated by a 2 way professional.

I would not use them. The front end on a scanner receiver is as wide as a double barn door and all kinds of junk comes through.

Has anyone used a good quality scanner as a receiver for a repeater and if so, how well did it work? I'm contemplating a Radio Shack PRO-2055 as it seems to have good receive capability and picks up signal better than some of our mobile radios.
