I was looking at the Radio Shack line (I think PRO 46) but someone over the 'net advised me that the RS scanners had severe imaging problems in the 160-165 MHz range, what I'm most interested in. He said the Bearcat models didn't have this problem. He said he was most disappointed with his PRO 46. Not wanting to waste money, I went out and bought a BC60. Now I look in this newsgroup and it looks like I may have made the wrong choice, based on Uniden's reputation among hobbyists. Someone please tell me I haven't wasted $300!!! If so, what problems will I encounter? I'm new to this newsgroup and would appreciate very much if you could e-mail me directly. Or post to this group; I'll try to 'lurk' here for a while. THANKS!! P.S. Any problems taking these things through airport security? I don't want to put it through the X-ray machine in my baggage but a security guard might think it's a remote bomb trigger if it's out! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Lanctot Chemical Engineering, University of Ottawa e-mail: 632165@engnov.genie.uottawa.ca "I-I-I-I-I didn't do it!!" -Krusty the Clown (The Simpsons) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 04 17:32:32 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!cs.utexas.edu!asuvax!news.asu.edu!drice From: drice@imap1.asu.edu Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Tulsa Police Radio Trial Date: 1 Aug 1995 21:22:41 GMT Organization: Arizona State University Lines: 26 Message-ID: <3vm5v1$qdf@news.asu.edu> References: <8AE429F.059E002B82.uuout@iotp.com> Reply-To: drice@asu.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: general2.asu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] mcarp01@ibm.net wrote: :I am glad to see that Larry Gass finally got his...I worked as a paramedic in :Tulsa and remember when Larry Gass bought two 800mhz radios from a cityauction :(they were there by mistake) and held the fire department hostage for about an :hour by broadcasting both voice and music over emergency channels.

The metal multiband antennas (the one with a centerload at RS) work great on handheld receivers (they blow all rubber duckys away) and cost around 8 bucks. I would guess that all things being equal that an unamped discone wouldn't be much better than the centerload metal ant. BUT, since you're in a basement and risk being cut off by concrete, any antenna in a remote location (like the roof) would benefit.

For sale: Radio Shack PRO-2026 Production date: 11A2 (11/92) Already modified, and with full cellular coverage. Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 04 17:32:54 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!psgrain!rainrgnews0!news.transport.com!usenet From: Dennis Bourassa Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner,alt.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Intricacies of trunking and/or cell phone monitoring Date: 2 Aug 1995 05:58:16 GMT Organization: Visionary Information Systems Lines: 12 Message-ID: <3vn45o$dbd@ns.transport.com> References: <3vcgqd$27f@ccnet3.ccnet.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: pdx36.transport.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 16bit) Xref: grape.epix.net rec.radio.scanner:29752 alt.radio.scanner:20421 >If you want to know the system better, I have a new book, released last >month that explains this in detail.

I agree with you Jim. I get tired of "Ito" posting this practically every week. But it is his choice. He's shown what a jerk he is by his statement about your mother. He sent me private email once with similar remarks. It seems he has this thing for moms! But, if he wants to keep posting this crap, I can play along.

The only downside to their unit it that it has a wide paging window and could be activated by pages other than yours if they are close in tones. Our company also manufacturers a two-tone and DTMF decoder on one board. It has adjustable bandwidth and has a programmable processor on board so you can program it to latch, pulse, time, interlock, etc. on any of its eight outputs. It can look for up to 10 different two-tone or single tone pages, each can have completely different tones and timimg. In the DTMF area it can decode up to 20 DTMF codes, and can use "wildcards" to look for groups, subgroups, etc. It also encodes both tones and DTMF codes.

From my understanding here in the western end of the state they will be there for years to come. They hve only a few of these pairs and you can hear other counties esp. this time of the year (god I'm sick of hearing Washington County!) As a side note...most of their unmarked cars out here have look alike 800 mhz antennas on the right front trunk lip....that along with the standard PA tags means that inless you look for those things (like some of us) you will never see the trooper coming.

As we just did... I think that the concern regards those who would wish to gather up material developed by others and use it for their own gain or credit. For instance, I remember Bob Parnass once posting an extensive frequency guide to an airport in Chicago, including not just frequencies, but notes on use--and all in a very organized form. Bob's copyright notice should give pause to the person who may be tempted to swipe the entire list and pass it as his own, in a frequency guide to that airport or airports in general. It is not that the printing rights to the individual frequencies belong to Bob, but his unique arrangement, with useful tagging, and notes on use--these belong to him, and should. He is the kind of guy who has a lot to share. His copyriting of Usenet posts protects him from his own generosity. He probably puts the copyright notice on all he writes because he tends to give so much to other enthusiasts, many of whom he has gotten started by example and with useful information. Quoting of portions of copyrighted material is acceptable under something that I think is called "fair use." Someone else might be able to comment more on what that is. -- Ken Morrill From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 04 17:33:22 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!nntp-hub2.barrnet.net!pacbell.com!amdahl.com!amd!netcomsv!uucp3.netcom.com!inferno.com!vector Subject: CHP Motorcycle headset freq?

FD: Ok, basically she was making phone calls from Air Force One today and they were being monitored by average citizens out there and we wanted to get her comments on, the use of radio telephones from Air Force One and the public listening in. WH: Ok, and you're from Full Disclosure News Service? FD: Right. WH: Is that a publication? FD: We have a magazine and a radio show. WH: And, are you in Milwaukee? FD: No, I am in the Chicago area. WH: And you were listening to the call? FD: I have information that she placed calls from Air Force One that were being monitored by the public. WH: Like a ham radio or something? FD: Like a police scanner, like something you buy at Radio Shack for $99 WH: Ok. Ok, and you want to talk to her about the substance of the call or you want to talk to her about the FD: The publicness of the calls and whether she is aware the calls are monitorable by any of the 12 million people in the U.S. with police scanners and things of that nature. WH: Ok. FD: Also, I was interested in what her title was because I just had a name and didn't know what her position was. WH: Yeah. Um. What was your name? FD: Glen Roberts WH: And your phone number? FD: (708) 838-4478 WH: Ok. Ok and what would you just. What was the conversation you overhead just for my information. FD: My information is she placed a phone call or two from Air Force One that was broadcast for anyone who wanted to listen in on it. WH: Ok, and you don't what the substance of the call was or who they to. FD: I have some notes on that, but I would like to talk to her about it. WH: Ok, well, I'm trying to help you out, but I am just. I'd like to know what I'm. What's she's gonna have to respond to before I, you know, get in touch with her. I'm sure she's interested. FD: Well you can pass on it and she can call me back or not. Um, you know, but we like to talk to people and get their views on it and not have somebody telling people what to say. WH: Ok, I'm not doing that at all. FD: I don't want somebody to prepare a speech or a -- WH: No. No, I was not even insinuating that. I'm sure she would be interested in who she was talking to, when she talked to you. I was obviously a private phone call so, I don't want her to be totally caught off guard. You know what I mean? FD: That's really the point of my call. Is it really a private phone call. Are the phones on that plane presented to the users of them as being private phone calls or are they being presented as gee there are 12 million people with police scanners that can tune in. WH: Right. FD: Because additionally, New York Mayor Giuliani made calls from Air Force One today. WH: Um hmm. FD: I'm not sure if you can put me in contact with him or if I should go WH: Yeah, if you want to talk to him, you should probably talk to his office. FD: Right. WH: Ok, well, I will do my best to get in touch with her. She's obviously on the road right now. Our communication to that site is somewhat limited, because of the, because the trip was obviously not planned. The decision to go wasn't finalized until last night. Our communication was not up to what it normally is for a trip. FD: And your name is? WH: My name is April. FD: Can you give me the direct number there? WH: Sure, it's 456-2580. Ok, if you don't hear from me, you can call back. But, I will try and get in touch with them. Like I said we don't have phones set up like we normally do on the road. But, I will do my best to reach them. -- -------------------------------------- Glen L.

The units >with continuous coverage through the cell frequencies are >available to government agencies, telecommunications firms, etc. A couple of clarifications: First: There is no law regarding the sale of unblocked scanners in the US. The only restrictions are on importation. So it may be possible to find unblocked scanners for sale to the general public in the US (even the AR8000). Second: According to information posted to this group, there is no physical difference between blocked and unblocked AR8000 scanners. The only difference is in how they are programmed. Which is to say, that if you buy a blocked AR8000, you can, with a proper interface and the proper software, unblock it.

They all do so voluntarily. 2. They all should know that none of their copyright limitations have any chance of being acknowledged to stop distribution to any particular location, group, etc. It's kind of like a band playing in the park and saying they don't want anyone with green eyes to listen. Neither sound ways nor the distribution of news repects any such limitations. Additionally, it has been known for several years that CD-Rom,s of netnews are/have been produced, so one could simply state that those CD-Roms are just another extension of the distribution of netnews. The fact that someone makes a buck selling the CD-ROM isn't that critical because today vast numbers of profits are being made by companies selling access to the internet (prodogy, compuserve, etc.) and part of what they offer for the money we pay is access to newsgroups. Anyway, so far I've never seen any actual "case-law" that upheld the right of any newsropu poster to force others to honor any aspect of a distribution copyright limitation. Now none of what I've said covers using another's post as one's own in a book, etc. Even the CD-ROM anthologies of usenet groups all retain the attribution of the original writer as the "FROM" originator.

Gee, I always thought they used crypto gear to protect the traffic from hostile intelligence services... Quite a few of the USSS/WHCA callwords have been in use for decades. CROWN & CARPET are two examples. I have a _Life_ magazine article about an Air Force One flight --WITH JFK ABOARD-- that mentions CARPET & CROWN, as well as mentions who uses those callwords... Several public-distribution official US gov't publications have also 'compromised' some of the voice callwords used by First Family members.

I know we sell the Police Call books but there are so many freq's in there it scares the new users. If you already have a great list of freq's E-mail me at btzx73a@prodigy.com so I can give you my fax number. Many people that are interested in scanning will be very happy to start off with your best freq's. Also Radio Shack is expaning in San Diego and all across the nation if you are good with people (just sitting of the computer all day and listen to your scanner is not the meaning of good with people) great in sales, and looking to be a member of the largest retailer of eletronics in the WORLD E-mail me at the address above if you live in San Diego area. If you don't live in San Diego contact your local District Office. To find the nearest store call 1-800-THE-SHACK We need only really good people to move in to management positions after proving themselves on the sales floor as a great leader.

Do any of you guys know if you can >>pick-up conversations on a 900mhz cordless? Thanks for all your help! It depends on how your phone operates. I have a Uniden 2-line SPREAD SPECTRUM 900 MHz cordless telephone. The "spread spectrum" is the key. My signal is across so much of the band that it is effectively unscannable. I am not sure of how exactly what this unit considers "spread spectrum" so I will not elaborate. If you have a conventional 900 MHz cordless phone, you can scan it. Sorry I can't be more specific, but scan between 902-928 MHz to find the channels.

The record shows that the City of Tulsa sold Gass Motorolla radios as junk at an auction some years back, but when Gass powered them up, they keyed into the 800 MHz system. The dispatchers discovered the city had failed to deauthorize the units when they were put into surplus, and promptly rectified the problem with a few keystrokes. There is no record of anyone holding the communications system hostage, nor of any threat to the 911 center from someone trying to get radios authorized. The story is that a radio technician pushed the "EME" button on a "junked" police radio and caused a panic as the dispatchers scrambled to locate a nonexistant police radio sending a distress call. The communications department was called on the carpet for selling working goods as junk, Gass disabled the transmitters, and everyone went back to business as usual. The recent trial did not involve this incident, which was considered closed.

Probably the best, this was a few years back when the University of Michigan was getting together the Fab Five. But, before anyone signed, everyone wanted to know where Jalen Rose and Chris Webber were signing with. I had just gotten the cell mod for my scanner,, and started searching through the cell bands....Just then I heard Steve Fisher talking to Jalen Rose BEFORE they (Chris and Jalen) made their announcement to go to U of M. So I, and my freinds knew that Chris and Jalen were signing with U of M before anyone else did (besides Chris and Jalen themselves of course =;-) It killed me that I couldn't call the TV stations and tell them what I just heard.... But now that they are both in the pros and this was a long time ago I figured this would be ok to tell, being that now everyone knows that Chris and Jalen went to U of M, so it's no big secret. 2. Listening to the detectives in my area drive around finding bad guys....ie people who have broken into cars, or are acting strangely. They use code words for the streets and it took me about 6 months to figure out what all the words were..... Now I know exactly where they are, it's pretty cool, but I NEVER try to follow them or interfere. 3. Listening to the ambulance Co. (I'm also a Paramedic) I enjoy hearing what kind of stupid calls they go on. The worst being the call for Fire to go to the house of some lady who fell out of bed and needed help getting back into bed. Now don't get me wrong, the lady needed help, and we provide the service, but this does get a bit tedious after awhile. I guess that's about it. I am still learning about scanning. joe breezy@umich.edu From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 04 17:34:12 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!news.cyberstore.ca!news.bctel.net!holly.softwords.bc.ca!news From: kscott@pinc.com (K.

Primary dispatch frequencies are shared by two, usually adjacent, Police Districts. The exception to this is Police District 3 which has a dispatch frequency all to itself. Each primary dispatch frequency is called a Radio "Zone" and are numbered 1 through 13. The first two numbers of a given unit designator tells which district the unit is in. For example, "Unit 2514" would be a unit of District 25. There are also frequencies which virtually all mobile units have the capability to monitor. These are called "Citywide" channels and, hearing a transmission beginning with "Units on Citywide.........", makes the Police listener's aware that the immediately forthcoming radio traffic is important and intended for all units to hear. One scanning/programming method which some scannists may find simplify matters a bit and avoid the scanner from stopping on an active frequency which contains "uninteresting" radio traffic ("down time" should there happen to be interesting radio traffic on another frequency at the same time.) is as follows: If your scanner contains at least 20 channels, program channels 1 through 13 with the corresponding Radio Zone numbers. Channel 1 would be programmed with the frequency of Zone 1, Channel 2 with Zone 2, etc. Channels 14 through 20 would be programmed with the Citywide frequencies. Then lockout channels 1 through 13. If your scanner contains more than 20 channels within its first bank you might wish to lockout channels numbered above 20 that are within the same bank. Having done so, when scanning this bank, you are only checking and stopping on active citywide frequencies. Should you hear something like "Units on Citywide, report of shots fired, man down, at (whatever address or intersection), this is the 5th District, ZONE 9 RADIO." If you wish to hear the radio traffic of the responding units you would only have to manually go directly to channel 9 and just listen there until you've heard what you want to know. One could, of course, modify this to suit your personal preferences. You may wish to program additional frequencies in channel numbers above channel 20 within the same bank, if applicable. If you want to keep track of all activity, all the time, within a particular District, you might want to "unlock" the channel containing the Zone number for the District of interest. If your scanner has a selectable priority function, you could still leave the channel "locked out" and just make the channel number of importance a "priority" channel and then engage the priority function. Chicago Police Department/Primary Frequencies (Repeater Output) 1. 460.475 Zone 1 (Districts 16 and 17) 2. 460.050 Zone 2 (Districts 19 and 23) 3. 460.225 Zone 3 (Districts 13 and 14) 4. 460.150 Zone 4 (Districts 1 and 18) 5. 460.500 Zone 5 (Districts 2 and 21) 6. 460.400 Zone 6 (Districts 7 and 8 ) 7. 460.075 Zone 7 (District 3 alone ) 8. 460.200 Zone 8 (Districts 4 and 6 ) 9. 460.025 Zone 9 (Districts 5 and 22) 10. 460.100 Zone 10 (Districts 10 and 11) 11. 460.375 Zone 11 (Districts 20 and 24) 12. 460.425 Zone 12 (Districts 15 and 25) 13. 460.450 Zone 13 (Districts 9 and 12) 14. 460.125 Citywide 1 (Traffic/Gangs) 15. 460.175 Citywide 2 (Detectives/Tactical) 16. 460.275 Citywide 3 (Emergency Messages) 17. 460.325 Citywide 4 (Youth/Evidence Technicians) 18. 460.350 Citywide 5 (Special Events) 19. 460.250 Citywide 6 (Unspecified Citywide) 20. 460.300 Citywide 7 (Command/Phone Patch) The Chicago Police Department reportedly utilizes additional frequencies which may include: 154.650, 154.740, 154.800, 154.830, 155.850, 155.970, 156.000, 158.730, 158.850, 158.880, 159.030, 856.9375, 857.9375, 858.9375, 859.9375, 860.9375.(the last five frequencies may be "trunked".) Should you have an unused channel in your scanner, don't overlook the frequency 155.475 which in Illinois is called I.S.P.E.R.N. (IL State Police Emergency Radio Network). Virtually all law enforcement vehicles in the U.S. are equipped to operate on this frequency. On this frequency one will hear such things as car chases, reports of crimes having recently occurred, suspect and/or vehicle info, etc. While the primary frequencies of PD Chicago may be fairly well known to long time or avid scannists of the Chicagoland area, perhaps there may be some who will find this programming/scanning style of use. If anyone has any corrections, additions, suggestions or would be interested in exchanging frequencies, comparing notes or discussing any scanning related topics, please feel free to contact me at my E-mail address which is d350@aol.com I hope this will be of some use or benefit to those who enjoy monitoring PD Chicago.

It has terrible contrast, what were they thinking when they chose a blue EL element? Just to waste time, I removed the EL element and put a piece of oaktag stock cardboard in its place. The results weren't completely disappointing, as I could more easily read the display from across the room. It got me to thinking that it may be possible to improve the display through back-lighting, or even edge-lighting, if the right materials could be found. Any thoughts on a source for materials? The key seems to be in finding a thin piece of transluscent material, similar to that used in the backlit displays commonly used in auto stereos, or even the BC200XLT scanner. My junk box doesn't have much in the way of digital display materials. Thanks for your time. Rob C.

If there is a policy it is likely to be like that for any other personal property; If you lose it on a ride, too bad. The radio I used (and all others I knew of for the park, admin. might have had different though) was in the 15x.xxx MHz band. That was at least 4 years ago though. Frequencies might have changed but I really don't think any policies have. Enjoy, you could hear some great stuff. ---Donald Larson--- ---Laramie Wyoming--- Copyright 1995, Donald Larson.

They can travel much further than that. The TV Licence Authority in the UK have detector vans that can detect television sets as they drive. BTW --FYI TV recievers in the UK must be licenced, I do't recall what the licence fees are, but the detector van picks up signal from the television oscillator circuitry, a simple check on the DataBase will confirm whether the household has the proper licence. As for scanners, they are still legal in Canada so with Government cutbacks checking to see who has a scanner is a bit far fetched to me. Industry Canada has it's hands full already without having to look to see who has scanners. Perhaps you've been reading a little to much of George Orwell? 73's Darrell A.

So basically, comparing the CE-232 to the OPTO456 is like comparing a passenger car to a pickup truck? They are both adapted to a different function and cannot be all things to all people. In that case, can anyone tell me what an OPTO456 can do? This would let me decide on a car or a truck, as it were. Also, in relative terms, how difficult are these two units to install? (I have a Pro2006) If there's anyone in the Vancouver BC area who has one of these units, I'd love to get your opinions and perhaps see a demo.

For sale: Radio Shack PRO-2026 Production date: 11A2 (11/92) Already modified, and with full cellular coverage. Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 04 17:35:04 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!noc.netcom.net!ix.netcom.com!netnews From: lugey@ix.netcom.com (MICHAEL MILLER) Newsgroups: alt.radio.scanner,rec.radio.scanner Subject: Thoughts on Bearcat 220 Date: 4 Aug 1995 04:50:52 GMT Organization: Netcom Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <3vs8vc$fpp@ixnews3.ix.netcom.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: ix-nyc13-22.ix.netcom.com Xref: grape.epix.net alt.radio.scanner:20449 rec.radio.scanner:29821 I'm in the market for a new handheld scanner and the Bearcat 220 has caught my fancy. I was wondering if any of you had any opinions on this particular model. I am looking for specifically a Uniden product. The reason being that I have had some difficulty with my two RS scanners. My pro 42 I have declared DOA after 4 years. My pro 2032 suffers tremendous overloading from adjacent frequencies and intermod and whatever else. Plus I cannot receive any transmissions from say greater than 30 miles away. On the other hand, I have had a Bearcat 170 for 8 years now and have never had a problem with it. though it's only 16 channels w/ no 800, it still gets the job done. As for the FORMER Uniden employee, I think my case is proof enough that Uniden manufactures a quality product. So for any opinions on the 220, please contact me privately.

I'm on a bit of a hill overlooking a portion of the city and there is a small Air National Guard base at the local airport about 3 miles to the East of us. Mostly helicopter traffic. My wife just had to have the TV hooked up after the move so I just put on some rabbit ears until we get cable. Every once in a while, Milwaukee TV channels 10 and 12 are completely wiped out by strong interference. Milwaukee TV channels 4, 6, 18, 24, 36 and 58 are not affected. This interference lasts for several minutes at a time and is NOT an intermittent thing as with the "push-to-talk" switch on a microphone. Recently, I heard what sounded like ground-to-air military communication while the video was wiped out. The video interference usually looks like gray-screen noise or massive horizontal sync problems. Usually, there is no audio heard. I'm a licensed radio amateur and an engineer but am not too famiar with military radar or military RF nor have I ever lived this close to an airport. Is the above problem typical? I am aware that military aircraft RF is assigned frequency spectrum near the television channels in question (216 to 220 MHz, I think). I really need to get a field strength meter and see just how hard we are getting blasted. ;-)) Maybe I'll borrow that $25K IFR spectrum analyzer from the lab here at work and take a look around with that.

Haven't been able to see one close up...but from about 20 feet away, it looks like VHF-High antennas. I've tried the obvious 154.570 & 154.600, and all I hear is Mc Donald's drive-thru. Judging from the looks of this operation, I would be really surprised if the radios were actually licensed. Probably cheap over-the-counter radios that were purchased locally.

This would explain the absence of a recognizable signal. However, none of the marketing literature brags about it being spread spectrum.

The dispatcher then told him to stand by, and a few seconds later came back on and said "The alarm bells are going off in her head." An anonymous voice said, "Push reset." I was sitting in the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dispatch center here in Phoenix a couple of months ago when one of their units got into a chase in downtown Phoenix. The bad guy's car started smoking and the deputy didn't think it could go much further, but they were still going 60 mph down side streets. The vehicle went into a field and blew a tire, and they got into a foot chase. Then the deputy said he had one at gunpoint, then a little later had one in custody. That would have been great to hear on a scanner, but it was even better to hear it in the dispatch center. The dispatcher had 8 or 9 pages of logs on it (on the computer) when it was over. A couple of the dispatchers, including the one who conducted the call, said it was the best chase they had ever operated (which may not be a big thing, since they have a high turnover rate there). - Harold From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 07 17:26:46 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.interport.net!usenet From: Dick Smegma Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: [QUESTION] What is the most fun thing you have done?

There is much distortion in the 30-50 bandwidth, but almost none towards the 800-900 range. I have heard of filters being available for specific bands, but have not received the Grove catalog yet.

Run my scanner/SW radio off of DC power that is CHOKEd with ferrite cores this seems to work extremely well. Also, others have shielded their monitors with Aluminum foil.

For sale: Radio Shack PRO-2026 Production date: 11A2 (11/92) Already modified, and with full cellular coverage. Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 07 17:27:16 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!cs.utexas.edu!swrinde!elroy.jpl.nasa.gov!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!nntp.crl.com!usenet From: puregold@a.crl.com (Jay Goldberg) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: FOR SALE: Uniden 890XLT w/Cell Mod Complete.

Overall, it's a good scanner at a reasonable price.Sensitivity is improved over older Radioshack models. ONE BIG COMPLAINT! A flaw in the design causes a constant noise from the speaker,even when completely squelched and the volume completely down! It's not loud(you have to put your ear right up to the speaker to hear it)but this problem causes the batteries ( six AA's) to run down very quickly.I suspect Radioshack is aware of this design flaw, and thats why they've been placing this model on sale all over the country.They hope to get rid of them. If you dont mind spending a fortune in batteries,it can be considered a decent buy. hope this helps!

There are no newly manufactured scanners, imported into the US for sale, that can be modified. The frequencies are blocked out in the CPU. Most of the double conversion scanners that receive the part of the band above the cellular frequencies can receive celluar transmission images. In most cases, these are about as strong as if you tuned them in directly. Forget triple conversion scanners - they will not receive the cellular frequencies - even on images.

The fact that the Pro-26 suffers from images, while handy if you want to listen to cellular, is a defect of the radio, not a change to the spectrum allocations. /* barry /& From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 07 17:27:47 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!simtel!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!dino.eng.monash.edu.au!mike From: mike@dino.eng.monash.edu.au (Mike Paull) Newsgroups: alt.ph.uk,alt.2600,alt.radio.scanner.uk,alt.radio.scanner,rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: POCSAG Paging Decoder Followup-To: alt.ph.uk,alt.2600,alt.radio.scanner.uk,alt.radio.scanner,rec.radio.scanner Date: 6 Aug 1995 03:18:41 GMT Organization: Monash University Lines: 23 Message-ID: <401cah$veq@harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au> References: <805834717snz@bearnet.demon.co.uk> <806188575snz@bearnet.demon.co.uk> <3usdgq$pue@harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au> <3vekgs$m0f@news.mainelink.net> <3vgsm4$r4f@news1.digex.net> <3vkr7m$ska@harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au> <807429330snz@bearnet.demon.co.uk> NNTP-Posting-Host: dino.eng.monash.edu.au X-NNTP-Posting-User: mike X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Xref: grape.epix.net alt.ph.uk:903 alt.2600:60762 alt.radio.scanner:20508 rec.radio.scanner:29931 Hi Peter, : The software will basically sit and decode all messages sent on the : frequency.

Look around at a few local Ham/ CB shops and see what else is out there. In Southern CA, we have freq books like Gene Hughes' Police Call (not Radio Shack's) and Scan Fan that put RS's Police Call to shame. These books give detailed freq information on everything from public safety agencies to the security at the local malls. You can put your $9.95 to a much better use than RS Police Call.

I bought my pro-26 about two months ago and I love it it is excellent in the military air band freq of 225-400mhz also for those of you who like to listen to cellular, because of the tremendous demand for cellular phones these days the freq range has been expanded to include 1008-1018mhz which the pro-26 gets.

Radio Shack is discontinuing their little FM transmitter/receiver combination meant to be used with a video game machine. The transmitter couples to the earphone jack of any scanner/SW set and will retransmit the audio onto your FM set. Works great. I saw them this weekend for 7.99.

If you are planning to replace it anyway, first determine the highest frequency you want to receive. Then visit your cable supplier and look at his spec sheet for the loss in db, at that frequency, on the cable you're interested in. It's important to match up the model number of the cable spec sheet with that of the cable reel, since various manufacturers of the same class of cable, RG-8 for example, may quote different loss specs. The loss is usually expressed in db per 100 feet. The lower the loss, the better the cable. Since 75 feet is a relatively short length of cable, you may be able to purchase a very high quality cable at a reduced rate if it is the end of the roll, etc. It never hurts to ask / negotiate. -- Best regards, Bill Fischer Electronic Countermeasures Inc. 65 - 31 Avenue South West Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2S 2Y7 Voice (403) 233-0644, Fax (403) 233-8849 MailTo:bill.fischer@T8000.com Visit http://www.t8000.com/eci/eci.htm for a brochure and software demo.

As far as I know - ALL scanners sold in the US are blocked - with no exceptions, even for police. Companies certainly are NOT exempt from the ban. Police do not need cellular capable scanners. If they have a warrant, so that they can listen legally, then they can go to the cellular provider, and use the companies equipment - which is capable of tracking calls when they change frequencies/cells, something scanners cannot do.

Portland, OR uses a Smart Zone System with a twist. There are Five sites all transmitting the same information on the same frequency from each site.

It is indeed illegal to listen to cellular telephone conversations with a scanner in the US; this is also true of cordless telephones. Our government doesn't even allow the importation of scanners that can receive US cell phone frequencies or can be easily modified to do so. Silly, in my opinion. It is also illegal in some states to use, or in some cases merely posess, a scanner ""capable of receiving police frequencies" in a vehicle (car, boat, motorcycle, etc.) or in some cases even while on foot in a public place. These laws are written in such a way to specifically exempt licensed Amateur Radio Operators, since most VHF/UHF ham radios can do this, and hams frequently have valid reasons for listening, such as disaster relief/civil defense work, etc. It is not illegal anywhere in the US to listen to fire, police, etc. from your own home. You can even tape-record the radio traffic. You are not allowed to "respond", in other words, to drive to the scene of the accident, arrest, etc. for fear you will hinder the police/fire people there. You are not allowed to "divulge to others" the content of the radio transmissions, nor to use the content in a profit-making business. These restrictions are ignored unless you make a *real* nuisance of yourself. TV and newspaper reporters violate these laws every day, for example, and nobody cares. If the transmission is scrambled or encrypted, it is illegal to descramble or decrypt the transmission, unless you are an "intended recipient" of the transmission. This typically means little, since few scanner enthusiasts have equipment capable of descrambling any scrambled signals of interest (police, fire, military.) Most municipalities here don't scramble anything except undercover work and occasionally a big drug bust or anti-gang crackdown, but there are a few that scramble *everything* - Los Angeles is supposedly going to such a system. Many believe that this was caused by citizens recording conversations on police radio where the police officers used racist language and stereotypes to unfairly categorize certain racial groups that the officers in question didn't like. The solution - scramble!! This kind of thing has some people rather unhappy, especially since our military can't even do that!! Our military can't scramble radio communications unless there is a mission-specific reason for doing so - routine scrambling is not allowed.

Overall, it's a good scanner at a reasonable price.Sensitivity is improved over older Radioshack models. ONE BIG COMPLAINT! A flaw in the design causes a constant noise from the speaker,even when completely squelched and the volume completely down! It's not loud(you have to put your ear right up to the speaker to hear it)but this problem causes the batteries ( six AA's) to run down very quickly.I suspect Radioshack is aware of this design flaw, and thats why they've been placing this model on sale all over the country.They hope to get rid of them. If you dont mind spending a fortune in batteries,it can be considered a decent buy. .......................................................................... ... I have listened to my Pro-62 as he has discribed and in fact do hear a constant hiss coming from the speaker. You have to put your ear to the speaker to hear it. What I don't know is whether this contributes to rapid battery use. I use Radio Shack's Hi-capacity .85 mA batteries with my radio and get somewhere between 6 and 8 hours of scanning between charges. I think this is pretty good (???). I'm not worried a bit about any alledged "Design Flaws" with my Pro-62.

There are freqs that are > already loaded into memory > and I am unable to over ride them. Also how many freqs can be stored??? There are no "pre-programmed" factory settings. The AIR-8 is the N.American version of the Air-5/Air-7. There are 10 memory channels for each band. AM Broadcast, FM Broadcast, Airband and PSB. To store channels select the Band you wish to use (Eg. Airband) with the large dial on the top. Press the large Direct key at the top left of the Keypad. The screen will go blank. Key in the frequency you wish to listen 123.75 (without the decimal point) then press EXECUTE. Any trailing zeros will be added. The radio is now tuned to 123.75MHz. To store the frequency in any of the 10 channels press and hold down the green "enter" button and press any one of the 10 channels, for example 1 ! At the right hand side of the LCD screen is a small copy of the keypad. The channel selected will "darken". You can repeat the above for all ten channels. Once you have programmed all or some of the 10 channels you can scan them by pressing the large Scan bvutton at the top right. You have to hold it down for a fraction of a second until the sets starts to scan. You cannot Scan any frequencies stored whilst in the AM or FM Bands. If you do not wish to scan all 10 channels but select just a few you can press and hold down the green "program" button and press the channels you wish to scan. When "program" is on the LCD display and you press the Scan key only those channels selected will be scanned. Pressing the large "+" / "-" keys at the bottom will start searching up/down from the displayed frequency. Hope this helps. -- Cheers, /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jonathan Clough, | HF, VHF & UHF (800MHZ !)

KABC-AM did a live remote broadcast from my place of employment for our annual open house a year ago. They arranged beforehand to have six CO lines brought in to our DMARK and patched down to jacks in our front office, from which they ran a few line cords out to their mixer table. I just HAD to ask, the engineer told me it had a 10 MHz bandwidth and that the black box was a 56 Kbps modem that was sending not only their program audio to the studio but also the data on waiting callers to the host's monitor and IFB audio to his earpiece. I had to limit my poking around though, they wouldn't have been happy if my fiddling had taken them off the air. And, I salvaged the jacks when I was in dire need of one to bring a telco line to the phone patch module on the centracom. My modem is plugged in to one right now. :) Gordon Arnold garnold@usc.edu "I am Tommy Trojan of Borg. Bruins are irrelevant."

You should get a copy of the Police Call book for your area, which is available at any Radio Shack. It lists the codes, and you can see the differences. Also, not every agency uses ten codes. I have heard eleven codes in Oregon, and I think it's the California Highway Patrol who I heard using twelve codes.

Lines: 311 From: parnass@att.com (Bob Parnass, AJ9S) Subject: Buying a Used Scanner Radio Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville, IL bracket available and the keyboard is not backlit. More sensitive than the PRO-2004 but 800 MHz signals leak through into the commercial aero band. Highly recommended. See "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2005 Programmable Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S, in The Radio Enthusiast, June 1989, and RCMA Journal, August 1989. PRO2006: 1990 vintage. Essentially the same as PRO-2005 | but scans faster. Probably the best scanner made to date. Highly recommended. See "The Realistic PRO-2006," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, October 1990. PRO-2035: 1995 vintage. Cumbersome 100 channel bank size. Tuning knob. Poor dynamic range. 10 linkable search banks. Dumb Auto Store feature stores the same frequencies over and over. See "The Radio Shack PRO-2035 - How Does It Compare With the PRO-2006?," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, January 1995. PRO34: Portable scanner with 200 channels and 800 MHz coverage. Ten "monitor" channels. Operates from AA cells. Slow scanning, low audio output, and chintzy plastic case detract from an otherwise good performance. No decent leather case available from Radio Shack. If you need a portable with 800 MHz, get a Bearcat 200XLT. If you can't get a 200XLT, get a PRO-34. PRO2021: Base/mobile scanner. 200 channels in 10 banks, LCD display and raised rubber keys. Lots of memory but scans too slowly and lacks 800 MHz. Ten "monitor" channels. Radio Shack seemed to have an overstock of 2021s as they were on sale for such a long time. Close out price dipped to about $200, which made it a nice scannero for beginners. PRO2022: Base/mobile scanner. Like the PRO2021 but includes the 800 MHz band. Cellular images throughout the 847.6 - 869 MHz range. Includes power saver circuit, odd for a base unit, which can clip the first part of a transmission. PRO2036: Same as Uniden/Bearcat BC890XLT. Tuning knob. 200 channels, global delay. Scans and searches fast. Count, AUX, and Auto Store features. Accepts optional CTCSS board. Dual conversion with 10.8 MHz first IF -- lots of images and birdies. Prone to severe intermod, especially when used with an outdoor antenna. See "The Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass, in June 1995 Monitoring Times. PRO-2037: Triple conversion all plastic base scanner made by GRE. Home version of the PRO-62 portable but with more intermod. 200 channels in 10 banks, one search bank, selectable AM and FM. Uses up conversion circuitry but inadequate front end filtering still allows images, though not as bad as in 10.7 or 10.8 MHz IF circuits. Crisp, respectable audio given the top mounted speaker. See "The Radio Shack PRO-2037," by Bob Parnass, in July 1995 Monitoring Times. PRO2001: Early, single bank 16 channel programmable. Reasonable coverage of the 3 traditional bands, minus aircraft band. LED digital display as well as an LED per channel. Mechanical lockout switch for each channel. Delay is either on or off for all channels at a time. High synthesizer noise level. Troublesome plated through holes on digital board in some units renders radio virtually unfixable. Could never get mine to work more than a few days in a row; always another bad connection. Some owners have no trouble. PRO52: 8 channel VHF-Lo/Hi base unit. No UHF band or provision for mobile operation. Good little scanner despite limited frequency coverage and Spartan lack of frills. Crisp squelch action and good audio, heo lped by a front mounted, vertical speaker. PRO2003: Radio Shack's 1986 top of line. 50 channels + 10 FM commercial broadcast band channels. Includes aircraft. Good frequency coverage and functionality, but at a high price. Poor human engineering: difficult to read keyboard makes the PRO2003 hard to operate unless in a well lit room. Keyboard label coloring improved on newer units. Rather slow scan rate and high price. Although there are provisions for 12VDC operation, the cabinet shape and lack of mounting bracket makes mobile operation impractical. Scan rate only 8 channels/sec vs. 15/sec in Regency and Bearcat. Causes RFI: Plastic case permits scanner to radiate signals into nearby receivers. PRO-43: Very good portable made by GRE. First Radio Shack portable with up conversion, and 222 MHz ham and 225 - 400 MHz military air band coverage. 200 channels, single search range. Small, convenient size. Muffled audio. Speakers in early units known to fail and more powerful speakers were used in later units. 800 MHz band coverage fully restorable in early units by removing diode. Uses same 6 cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables. Subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range. PRO-60: Very good portable made by GRE. 200 channels, single search range. Similar features and same IFs as the PRO-43 it replaced but the PRO-60 has wider frequency coverage and crisper audio. Covers 75 MHz and commercial FM broadcast bands. Improved Direct search can be stepped manually in single steps. Uses same 6 cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables. Railfans take note -- the PRO-60 and PRO-43 are subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range. Draws 100 mA while scanning and 2 mA while | turned off. PRO-26: Very good portable made by for Radio Shack by Uniden. 200 channels, very fast scan/search. Good display. Covers all TV channels, but spectrum adjacent to celo lular phone band is censored which prevents monitoring parts of some trunked systems (e.g., IL State Police district 4). Up to 50 frequencies can be skipped during search. Limited image rejection causes 929 MHz paging interference in 170 MHz range. Audio suffers from small speaker. PRO62: Good portable 200 channel scanner using up conversion. Similar to PRO-43 but no military air band, different upper frequency limit, and slightly different IFs. Selectable AM/NFM modes. Better intermod immunity than PRO-43. See "The Radio Shack PRO-62," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, February 1995. PRO43: Good portable 200 channel scanner using up conversion. Covers military air band. Selectable AM/NFM modes. Intermod in 160 - 162 MHz railroad band. PRO30: 16 channel programmable portable with aircraft band. Good frequency coverage. Extra controls on top allow control of SCAN, MANUAL, and PRIORITY functions while worn on belt. Good belt clip. Low audio output. Plastic case prone to break at BNC antenna connector under severe use, vs. metal frame in Regency HX1000. High price, no discounts or sales yet. I had 6 or 7 PRO30s, having to return them several times during the 1 year warranty, although other owners have had little or no trouble. Troubles included oscillation in IF stage, no UHF band reception, case broken around base of antenna connector, etc. PRO-24: Only 4 channels in this crystal controlled portable. Covers the three basic bands, but no aircraft. Easy to obtain batteries and crystals. Characteristic Radio Shack squelch problem, fixable by changing one resistor. All-plastic case larger than Bearcat Thin Scan and clones. See "The Radio Shack PRO-24 Scanner," by Bob Parnass, excerpted in the "Technical Topics" column, RCMA Newsletter, February 1984. Craig (division of Pioneer) 4530: Japanese 10 channel crystao l controlled 3 band unit. Also available under Plectron name but in different cabinet. No aircraft band. Deluxe features like priority, trimmer capacitors for netting each channel, front panel speaker, and rugged metal cabinet make this unit a winner. Channel lockout slide switches have finite life. Replacing burned out incandescent channel lamps not fun. Grab a 4530 if you find one in good condition. Sonar: Sonar made several crystal controlled scanners and channelized monitor receivers which shared the same RF circuitry. Each radio was housed in the same size metal case and worked on both 120 VAC and 12 VDC. The models differed in the number of channels, the band coverage, and whether individual channels could be locked out. Although they used a 10.7 MHz first IF, Sonar radios require parallel resonant crystals different from the common series resonant crystals used in Regency and Radio Shack scanners. Some Radio Shack crystals will work in Sonar units, but more often they oscillate a few kHz off frequency and are unsuitable unless changes are made to the oscillator circuitry. Therefore, beginners should avoid these radios. Typical Sonar squelch has long time constant causing a long noise burst at the end of each transmission. FR-104, FR-105: 6 channel monitor receivers covering 25 - 50 MHz or 150 - 175 MHz. Manual channel selection, i.e., no scanning. Early models are identified by an 11 pin connector on the rear and they could be used with an optional NiCd battery pack and charger which bolted to the rear panel. Later models used Cinch Jones connectors with flat contacts. Optional tone decoder board. FR-2512, FR-2513: 24 channel versions of the FR-104 and FR-105 monitor receivers. Manual channel selection, i.e., no scanning. FR-2514, FR-2515: 8 channel scanners. Channel 1 priority. Recommend you avoid these models as there is no way to lo ockout a channel from the scan sequence. FR-2526, FR-2526, FR-2528: 10 channel scanners covering various combinations of 3 bands. Each channel could be locked out. Channel 1 priority.

Summary of Sonar base/mobile monitor and scanner receivers Tennelec Manufactured the first synthesized scanners. Company went out of business several years ago. Schematics and parts difficult to obtain. Radios reputed to be poor performers. Got my MS-2 and MCP-1 basket cases for free and sometimes regret taking them. Not worth fixing unless you have access to DTL/RTL chips and circuit diagrams. Plectron and Motorola Alert Monitor Receivers In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of firemen and ambulance squad members came to rely on their transistor Plectron and Motorola Alert monitor receivers. They have now been replaced by portable pagers, and are often available at hamfests in the $5 - $25 range. Since many are in rough condition and need repair, a hamfest special is better suited for hobbyists who like to fix their own radios. Plectron and Motorola Alert crystal controlled receivers are excellent for dedicated monitoring of local frequencies -- a task for which you wouldn't want to tie up your 400 channel programmable scanner. These radios are fixed channel units ano d do not scan. They can be powered form 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper mobile cord. The audio quality on a Plectron P1 or 700 series is far better than any consumer grade scanner and the sensitivity and intermod immunity is outstanding if aligned properly. The Plectron 500 series is less desireable. The Motorola Alert monitors are pretty good, although the audio lacks bass. No single Plectron or Motorola Alert monitor can cover the entire 30-50 MHz band, and there were versions optimized for each portion of the band. There were different "split" models to cover segments of VHF-hi band, too. Although UHF versions were made, they are somewhat rare. Both brands of receiver require special crystals. I sometimes use Radio Shack's generic 3rd overtone scanner crystals in the Plectrons but they oscillate on frequencies far away from their marked frequencies. That's because the Plectron oscillator is designed to be used with a crystal which oscillates on its fundamental, not overtone, frequency. If you find the squelch on your Plectron 700 series receiver has too much hysteresis, replace R96, a 180K resistor, with a 560K resistor. On the P1, the resistor is designated R81. Parts for Plectron receivers are available from Federal Signal in University Park, IL, and may be available in the future from: Woodson Electronics/Plectron Plectron Place P.O.

That's "BLUE DOT". 151.625 is "RED DOT". 464.500 is "YELLOW DOT" and 464.550 is "BROWN DOT". I think there are more but these seem to be the most common. Remember, Bruins are people too.

I ad a look at my 9100's guts; as far as I can tell, the 9100 uses an MC3418 CVSD chip to convert the analog voice signal into a digital stream, which is then used to frequency modulate the transmitter. The transmission mode is wideband FM, without any spectrum spreading. However, the bandwidth of the WBFM signal is several times wider than conventional NBFM. Certainly, with a PRO-2006 I could a discrete transmitted signal from the 9100. If it was spread spectrum, I wouldn't be able to do this. -- * Dana H.

So your injection carrier oscillator would need to be either 48.5 MHz or 455 KHz with a "slide of at least + and - 5 KHz. It would be easier to do at 48.5 MHz but that 2nd IF might lead to other problems if tampered with. 455 KHz oscillators don't like to "slide" all that much. In any case, stability of the injection oscillator is of primary concern. Good luck.

First, I have a Air-Scan II radio that lets me hear the transmissions between commercial airlines and the Albuquerque (NM) Tower; but I live in Tucson (AZ)! I can't hear the Tucson Tower. Why can I hear Albuquerque and not Tucson? Second, is there any way I could hear the transmissions from all the military aircraft flying around Davis-Monthan AF Base (here in Tucson)? My radio receives VHF 108-136 MHz. Third, if listening to military transmissions is possible (legal?), does anyone have the frequencies for the Blue Angels? I'm going to Seattle to see them at an airshow in Sept, and it would be neat to listen in. Thanks.

Why can I hear Albuquerque and not Tucson? I doubt you are hearing Albuquerque "tower". You might want listen closely as you are probably hearing Albuquerque "Center". (I think Albuquerque has a center). Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) handle enroute traffic and cover a large area. Oakland center covers Northern California and a good portion of Nevada, as well as a lot of trans-pacific. The high altitudes (flight levels) over or near Tucson may be Abuquerque center's airspace. The Centers' transmitters are remoted and scattered all over the place on mountaintops and such. So it is likely you will hear a Center or a Remote Communications Outlet (RCO) of a Flight Service Station. Calls to Albuquerque Flight Service would be to "Albuquerque Radio" but the airline don't normally have a need for FSS contact while enroute. OTH - towers have smaller service areas (less than 50 mile radius of the airport) and their signals are usually tough to hear on the ground with small antennas unless you are very close to the airport. Their antennas are intended to provide higher takeoff angles to communicate with local airborne traffic. >Second, is there any way I could hear the transmissions from all the military >aircraft flying around Davis-Monthan AF Base (here in Tucson)? My radio >receives VHF 108-136 MHz. As you may know, military aircraft "UHF" is around 240 to 350 MHz (I don't remeMber the exact freqs - but it a big chunk of spectrum). But it is not uncommon to have military traffic communicate with "civilian" stations on the civilian VHF freqs between 118 and 136. You won't hear much below 118 Mhz as that's primarily for radionavigation (radiolocation). >Third, if listening to military transmissions is possible (legal?), does [snip] If you have a radio that covers it, go ahead.

I had forgotten at the time of my writing that the "Great Circle" spreadsheet I gave out would produce errors of bearing and distance when used anywhere but in North America, as well as for distances much over 100-miles or so. My spreadsheet contains corrections for the earth's "bulge" in the southern hemisphere which has the effect of making the northern hemisphere slightly smaller. Generally speaking, this has little effect on long distance calculations when regular spherical trigonometry is used. Short distance calculations can be in substantial error, and my spreadsheet was designed for short path VHF-UHF propagation analysis to minimize those kinds of errors, but I forgot that it would create errors for long distance calculations. Therefore, use the Spreadsheet in my book and magazine articles ONLY for North American calculations and then only for distances under 150-mi. The regular spherical trigonometric calculations can be used for longer distances and the below table shows how to add this useful feature to your existing Spreadsheet without disrupting anything previously entered. We will use empty cells C6-C10, D6-D10, and E6-E10, to enter the formulas for long distance calculations. It should only take a few minutes. The main thing to watch for here is the formulas where you should enter them exactly as shown......with no spaces. Severl of the formulas are lengthy and had to be folded over onto two lines. These will be entered as one line in the appropriate cells of your spreadsheet: (C6, D6, and E6) Note that formulas always begin with an equals sign "=" (without the quote marks. Text cells can be entered with most anything, including spaces. Note that the below table assumes you have already constructed the Spreadsheet given in my book or magazine articles. Some of the cells below refer to cells that already exist on my main spreadsheet, so do not consider the below table a complete spreadsheet. It is not.

I would like to to upgrade purchase a new handhled, but am not sure which route to take. I tried a Pro-43 handheld at a local Radio Shack. It seems good, lightweight. However, when I entered 857.162 into one of the channels (it is a local police freq) it revreted to 857.150 Will it still come through or this this a problem with the radio? I was also looking at going the AOR route. I have heard that with scanners such as the AOR1000, you need to be a rocket scientist to program it properly. I'd bee looking to spend about $500 (Canadian). If anyone is selling an AOR 8000 for such a price, please email me - I'm interested! Any help would be appreciated.

I suspect you software doodes got it worse off than us hardware and book/magazine writer types. Hell, unless you use a complex copy-protection scheme, it's pretty easy to copy and distribute software. A plagiarizer has to go to some extent to copy a book. They do that, but I bet more software is pirated than books. In either case, there is darned little by way of enforcement that we authors can do, aside from whatever protection we can implement at the onset. Like in my case, I do not distribute the contents of my books and magazine articles in electronic text. If I do something in hard copy, that's where it stays. But the best protection of all is honesty and concern by our audiences and markets. That's worth more than anything we can do. BTW, I envy you.

Also, what are possible better alternatives to the Pro-26 that I should consider? What am I going to regret or like?

A while back I posted that my PRO-2005 tuned off frequency (about 15 khz) in the 800 MHz band, while the other bands seemed fine. Other people had reported this same problem, so I though I would post my solution. I got out the service manual and checked things out. After a lot of poking around, I started making guesses. It turns out that there is a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) that had drifted way off. I assume that the 800 MHz band was so far off because the error was multiplied. After adjusting this oscillator, all is well. If you take off the bottom cover, you will see two silver RF boxes on the PLL board. If you pull the cover off the box that is more toward the center of the radio, you will see a silver component that says 10 MHz and has a hole in it for adjustment (mine had a clear piece of tape covering the hole). Since I don't have any real test equipment, I set the 2005 and my R7000 to an active 800 MHz frequency. I adjusted the 2005 untill the signal came in clear (as clear as my R7000). I was affraid that the VHF band might now be off frequency, but it sounds better than ever. If you don't have a second scanner just pick a known active 800 MHz frequency (a trunking control channel might work since the transmission is constant).

Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 10 15:56:37 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!purdue!haven.umd.edu!cs.umd.edu!zombie.ncsc.mil!news.gmi.edu!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!spool.mu.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.infi.net!usenet From: Dan Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: FREE mod info, was: Re: Radio Shack & AOR mods Date: 9 Aug 1995 05:11:09 GMT Organization: resume@nr.infi.net Lines: 33 Message-ID: <409g1d$hgb@allnews.infi.net> References: <4096to$q9o@pipe3.nyc.pipeline.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 204.117.155.172 X-Newsreader: AIR News 3.X (SPRY, Inc.) ;> dblake@nyc.pipeline.com (David Blake) writes: ;> In rec.radio.scanner bucherj@aol.com (BucherJ) said: ;> ;> ; ;> > We have offer the years aquired many modifications for Ham Radios, ;> Scanners, ;> >and CB's ;> ;> Snip: Snip: Snip: ;> ;> You want people to be interested in what you offer then try putting it in a ;> newsgroup for selling your information.

I don't think that the Sportcat was ever manufactured to receive cell freqs right out of the box. If it was, I'm mistaken. I do know that they currently have cell freqs blocked. Yes, you can monitor the images, but that is a very different thing. Also, $200 for a new SportCat is no bargain. I went to Wal-Mart today looking for a 200-XLT (heard they had some on clearance for $180) and saw SportCats on sale for $159.95. I think Communications Electronics in Michigan has them for the same price. Just my 3 cents worth...Corrections welcomed. -- ****************************************************************** *| B U S I N E S S R E S O U R C E G R O U P |* *| Employee Screening and Security Consulting |* *| |* *| - Pre Employment Background Investigations |* *| - Technical Surveillance CounterMeasures |* *| - Nationwide Public Record Information Brokering |* *| |* *| e-mail: drunyon@holli.com |* ****************************************************************** From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 10 15:56:45 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!purdue!haven.umd.edu!cs.umd.edu!zombie.ncsc.mil!news.duke.edu!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!news.sprintlink.net!parsifal.nando.net!parsifal.nando.net!not-for-mail From: creal@nando.net (creal) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner,rec.radio.amateur.equipment,alt.radio.scanner Subject: FS: Bearcat 100XLT Handheld Scanner & Motorola Sprint Pro HT Date: 8 Aug 1995 21:24:35 -0400 Organization: NandO.net Lines: 19 Distribution: usa Message-ID: <4092oj$97l@parsifal.nando.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: parsifal.nando.net Xref: grape.epix.net rec.radio.scanner:30137 rec.radio.amateur.equipment:15571 alt.radio.scanner:20582 For Sale: Bearcat 100XLT Handheld Scanner 100 channels with battery pack, ac adapter, manual, (no box) Freq Ranges (29-54, 118-174, 406-512) Motorola Sprint Pro Handie Talkie with battery pack, no charger, green dot freq (154.600) Both are in very good condition/working order.

That is a good way of putting it, I guess, but instead of a car and a pickup, maybe a phillips screwdriver and a flat-blade screwdriver. The two are pretty well very different units. >In that case, can anyone tell me what an OPTO456 can do? >This would let me decide on a car or a truck, as it were. Best I can summarize it is that the Opto takes over and replaces the scanner's CPU and communicates to an extent with the PC. The CE-232 does not replace the scanner's CPU; but it controls and gets data from it to a substantial extent. The Opto unit makes the scanner go much faster; the CE-232 does not affect the scanner's operation at all. The Opto unit lets the scanner do things not capable by the CPU, while the CE-232 has to operate within the limitations of the CPU. The Opto unit cannot do a lot of physical automation of scanning tasks and almost no generic tasks, whereas the CE-232 can automate almost every aspect of scanning AND a number of user-chosen tasks related or unrelated to the scanner. The CE-232 AutoPrograms the scanner's memory banks; the Opto unit does not. The CE-232 does not need to go with the scanner; the Opto unit has to. The CE-232 probably offers more options to the imaginative scannist than the Opto unit which probably does more off the bat than the CE-232. The CE-232 can be made to do most anything within a wide range of reason; defined or not, while the Opto has limits, even if wide, that cannot be exceeded. >Also, in relative terms, how difficult are these two units to install? >(I have a Pro2006) I can't speak for the Opto, but the CE-232 can be fairly simplified or or can be a little complicated. The complexity is more mechanical than electrical, though. It can be installed inside of or external to the scanner. If external, then it can be used with a number of different scanners. The Opto can work with only the scanner inside of which it has been installed. >If there's anyone in the Vancouver BC area who has one of these units, >I'd love to get your opinions and perhaps see a demo. I know of three CE-232's in British Columbia, one in Vancouver, one in Victoria, and one in Fernie. If you will e-mail me your address and/or phone number, I will pass it on to them and mention you'd like to hear from them.

Audio received during searches can be saved to WAV files to be played back at a later time. You can set the length of the wav file so as not to have huge megabytes eaten up by the recordings.

The difference will be intellegent search and store and the VFO knob will tune faster as you turn it faster. From what I understand all other features will remain the same. The Shack is also adding $50 to the price tag. The PRO 26 and 60 have also increased in price. The PRO 63 handheld is also due out in January 1996 but will not be in the catalog. This is suppose to be a SportCat like scanner made by GRE, I do not know any more except the price tag is around $300. For the SW radio buffs there is also a general coverage tabletop SW radio due out in November selling for $399.99. I do not know who is making it for RS, Drake has denied making it for RS.

One at RS that is EDITED by Gene Hughes, and another that is available at Ham shops that is WRITTEN by Gene Hughes. RS's version has a workbook style to the binding, where as the Gene Hughes' version is more like a bunch of papers stapled together with a piece of colored paper for a cover. RS's ver. is a list of FCC info., where as the Hughes' ver. is a collection of detailed city by city, agency by agency freqs and freq uses. Gene Hughes' Police Call is in its 32nd year of production. I have used it for about 12 years and the only thing that the two publications have in common is the use of Gene Hughes' name and the price ($9.95). Happy Scanning!!

Sure, you don't even have to do the mod. Searching the freqs above or below the cellular freqs (870-895) will give you some cellulars to listen to. The 34 is really bad about allowing images to come through. If you wanted to do the mod, you have to dig pretty deeply into it to get to the diode that has to be clipped... It's not easy to do, but if you're handy with a soldering iron, you could probably do it. ======================================================== Dishheads, dishheads, roly poly dishheads.

I have an antenna setup that I can't work out... Situation: I live in a rural area, about 30 miles out of town. I have made a quad loop antenna cut to 75 Mhz, mounted it on a wall inside the house, and pointed it towards the city. Brilliant results on 75-76 Mhz, OK on 485 Mhz, good DX from up to 100 miles away. Made another quad loop, also cut to 75 Mhz, mounted on an outside mast, and also pointed towards the city, though in a slightly different direction. /\ /\ / \ / \ \ / \ / \/ \/ | |_______ |__________________|---- scanner Now here is the difficult bit: joined the antennas together using a computer network T plug. Results? DX signal strength up 50%, "local" (within 40 miles) at 100%, and performance at 485 Mhz really good. What have I done? My initial thoughts was that reception _should_ be awful at 75 Mhz, giving that I have doubled the quad loop. Any comments?

If there is an "a" this means that this radio was to be sent back to be cellular blocked, however I have found that this has not been the case on many radios. #2 check on the back of the unit for production date it should be 1-12 then and "A" then a # between 0-5 the "A" stands for 199#. If this date is after 4A4 then this scanner will not be able to take cellular modifications, however the remaining mods for that radio should still work. Tberefor the main thing is to check is the production date, if it is past 4A4 then cellular will probably not be restorable, otherwise you shouldn't have a problem, unless the "a" is on the receipt and this unit was sent back..

For those of you not familiar with The Internet Telephone (Iphone) it is a Windows program which allows real time half duplex voice communication (full duplex with two sound cards or someday with only one card using soon to be released drivers) over the internet with other Iphone users world wide through your SLIP/PPP or shell account with SLIP emulator and your existing sound card to which you plug in an inexpensive microphone. But in addition to using the mic you can also line-in to your sound card directly from your scanners tape out or headphone jack and "transmit" live scanner traffic in VOX mode. I have sent local scanner traffic cross country to a friend in Calfornia with excellent results. I am located in New Jersey about 10 miles west of New York City and have abundant public safety, air, marine and railroad radio traffic available. You can download the evaluation copy of Iphone from Vocaltec's home page on the Web at http://www.vocaltec.com or via ftp.vocaltec.com The evaluation copy is fully functional but only allows one minute of open mic communication before you must reboot the program. The $69.00 registered version has no limits and I have left it "transmitting" for days without problems. Please only reply if you buy the software, it's hard to enjoy far away scanner comms if you have to reboot the software every few minutes.

DR>David Rice DR> i have to speak up on this one... i have played with radios for the past 12 years of my life. aside from scanning, being an amateur radio operator, and occasional call-chasing (mainly brush fires, which i usually end up helping people whose homes are in the path of the fire evacuate from the area), i consider myself quite normal. i was somewhat active in sports, i excercise by riding my mountain bike, listen to pretty much the same music many of the people i know do, dressed "in-style" when i was in high school, etc.,. my unwillingness to completely conform, though, by hating cops like the people i hung out with did, drink and do drugs like them, or break the law performing such activities as they did made me unpopular in the end. i really hate it when people see you in public with a radio of any kind and automatically make the assumption that you're a cop or narc. i have no problem walking into ANY facility with one of my radios. i do it frequently (almost always for that matter). people give you odd looks though. it's a nice deterrent to keep the little gangmembers away from you. they take the cop thing seriously and think that if they f*** up in front of you that they'll get canned. it does keep women away from you, which is a definate negative aspect. then again, the women i meet when i don't have a radio with me turn out to be pretty shallow once they find out i play with the things. the women i do go out with don't think twice about the toys i have and what impact they have on the relationship. they're too intelligent to let something like that get in the way of their better judgement. in the end, i find the root of the problems to be the same. people aren't educated enough, nor do they care enough to find out why you have something like a scanner or 2-way radio with you. many people i have as friends at one time thought all the radio equipment was worthless and served no purpose other than being high-tech "nerd" toys. after they hung out with me a while and i translated some of what was being said over the radio for them, many became interested. two of my friends went so far as to get ham licenses themselves and several more went out and got scanners for themselves. i'm sure that if many people were just exposed to the hobby, they'd change their minds or attitudes some. i could be wrong though... greg kd6ven vector@inferno.com From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 10 15:57:54 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!spool.mu.edu!torn!newshost.uwo.ca!newshost.icis.on.ca!news From: czeps@icis.on.ca (Charles Zeps) Subject: UN TROOPS TRAINING AT FT POLK X-Nntp-Posting-Host: ts1-10.icis.on.ca Message-ID: Sender: news@icis.on.ca (Newsie) Reply-To: czeps@icis.on.ca Organization: Arctan Consulting X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Date: Tue, 8 Aug 1995 07:42:35 GMT Lines: 32 COMMUNIST TROOPS ON US SOIL COMMANDED BY UNITED NATIONS For those with satellite dishes, the following may be of interest: Operation "Cooperative Nugget" commenced 8-6-95 at Fort Polk, Louisiana. 14 former Communist Mid/Eastern European nations are participating. 8-8-95 will see the opening ceremonies, to be attended by SecDef Perry and some senior NATO officials.

I am 100% satisfied with it. I chose it over the 2700 due several reasons. A larger display. Text entry for every channel. Reception to 1999.999 Mhz vs. 1300 Mhz. The 2700 has 500 channels, 8000 has 1000. Both are easily controlled by computer interface. The 8000 doesn't have an option for musical notes via the keypad and I am not aware of an optional Digital voice recording feature for the 8000.

What is the main >difference between these two scanners to warrant the price >difference? .... The AOR AR2700 I tested had a lot of internally generated noise, especially on the VHF-low and VHF-high bands. Too, it was hampered with an insensitive squelch. The combined effect was a scanner which frequently stopped on birdies or skipped past important, but weaker signals I wanted to hear. The AR2700 block diagram indicates use of a carrier operated squelch rather than the more sensitive noise operated squelch as found in the AR8000 and most other scanners. A full AR2700 review is scheduled to appear in Monitoring Times magazine. >Before I do make the leap I want to be sure it will be >worth the several hundred dollar investment involved.

I have had it for 3 years and I love it. Kenwood, in my opinion, makes very reliable and durable products. I still have my R-600 that I bought over 10 years ago. That unit saw some very long and heavy use and it served me well. It still works - my brother used it for a few years before he upgraded to a Yeasu 100. The features of the R-5000 I find to be very good. The notch filter, RF gain, settable AGC, RF Attenuator from 0 to -30dB in 10 dB steps, and the IF shift control provide most of the tools that you need to fish just about any signal out of the mud. It has 100 tunable memories, which I find to be much more than enough. The memories store everything from mode to antenna. The "user interface" is a bit cumbersome. It is not intuitive as to how to add entries into memories, shift a memory into the VFO, etc., but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple. I find it to be very stable. For broadcast listening, I often shift to USB or LSB to avoid some adjacent channel interference. There is virtually no drift. I can listen to an entire 60 minute broadcast without having to re-adjust the tuning dial. The audio, when in this mode, is quite acceptable also. For this reason, it makes for a very good broadcast listening radio in addition to a good DX-ing unit. If you buy one of these units, I recommend that you get the YK-88A-1 filter upgrade. It significantly enhances the selectivity. Even without it though, it is a very good unit. You may want to check out the used market - that is how I got mine. It has been around for quite a number of years so there should be a significant number of them out there for sale. It has increased in price over the years (it's now $1K). Depending on your budget, you may want to persue this option. It is such a reliable unit that, provided the previous owner took good care of it, you should have no problems even with a used unit. For your reference, my listening habits are DX-ing, broadcast listening, and some utility DX-ing. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the R-5000.

They also communicate from a number of different transmission sites scattered throughout the area, so one may actually be very close to you. The tower is transmitting to planes either very close to it on the ground or further away but up in the air. VHF transmissions are limited by line-of-sight, so if you're on the ground you probably won't receive them more than a few miles from the airport. Military frequencies are in a band outside the 108-136 MHz range of your scanner, although they may communicate in this "civilian" band as well. My list of Blue Angels frequencies follows, but as you can see most are outside your band (the first 3 are probably just specific to the airport they're flying on). They also transmit in AM on what's normally an FM frequency or vice-versa (I can't recall) so you need a scanner that allows you to override the normal default modulation method. I use a Radio Shack Pro-43, which covers the military band and lets me control AM/FM reception manually. It's a very nice scanner. I hear some models (without an "A" in their model number) can even be converted to receive cellular phone transmissions, but if you DO make that simple modification you should be aware that listening to those frequencies is illegal in this country...

Don't count on usage listings above - things change, or may have been incorrectly reported. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 14 21:24:10 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!nntp.crl.com!usenet From: mikec@a.crl.com Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: BC2500xlt Date: 12 Aug 1995 17:00:13 GMT Organization: CRL Dialup Internet Access Lines: 8 Message-ID: <40immt$r65@nntp.crl.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 168.75.126.16 X-Newsreader: AIR News 3.X (SPRY, Inc.)

They won't do it. Obviously they don't want anyone getting a cellular capable scanner fixed, should it break. So, should you have one of these fine scanners, hold on to it, and, if possible, get a spare. I have heard that the gov't is relying on cellular quite a bit during these recent "disasters" around the country. They closed off cellular coverage to civilians during the first hours of the Oklahoma bombing. FYI.

This scanner was designed and built for the California Highway Patrol. It is both field and computer programmable with the later allowing alpha/numerics. It has 100 channels in banks of 10. It also slightly resembles a Motorola Spectra. The thing I like about it the most is the alpha display. No more racking your brains saying is 418.625 the DEA or FBI.

Channel 1 would be programmed with the frequency of Zone 1, Channel 2 with Zone 2, etc. Channels 14 through 20 would be programmed with the Citywide frequencies. Then lockout channels 1 through 13. If your scanner contains more than 20 channels within its first bank you might wish to lockout channels numbered above 20 that are within the same bank. Having done so, when scanning this bank, you are only checking and stopping on active citywide frequencies. Should you hear something like "Units on Citywide, report of shots fired, man down, at (whatever address or intersection), this is the 5th District, ZONE 9 RADIO." If you wish to hear the radio traffic of the responding units you would only have to manually go directly to channel 9 and just listen there until you've heard what you want to know. One could, of course, modify this to suit your personal preferences. You may wish to program additional frequencies in channel numbers above channel 20 within the same bank, if applicable. If you want to keep track of all activity, all the time, within a particular District, you might want to "unlock" the channel containing the Zone number for the District of interest. If your scanner has a selectable priority function, you could still leave the channel "locked out" and just make the channel number of importance a "priority" channel and then engage the priority function.

I have an FM broadcast station about 4 miles from my house that completely wipes out 108 to 200 Mhz. I put a T - connector on the back of the radio, and made an FM trap out of a piece of wire and a small variable capacitor. The coil is 1.5 turns of #22 wire on a quarter inch diameter form. The variable cap is a flat cermaic type, somewhere between 5 and 30 pf, I think. It was just one out of the scrap box that I had. Construction is simple, put the coil in series with the cap. Make all connections as short as possible. I just crimped a BNC connector on a short stub of coax, stripped the other end and soldered everything on. I didn't even need shielding or anything. Tuning was simple for me, since it wiped out my local weather frequency as well. I plugged it in, and tuned for the best sounding signal. Good luck, and let me know if you find something better. -- Internet: kbeckman@earth.execpc.com k.beckmann@genie.geis.com Û º ÇÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ\ Milwaukee, ÞÝ º ±± ±±±±± `\ ͸ ÖÁÁÄÄÄÄĽ ßß ßßßßß `ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÜÍÍ a GREAT place on ÌÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ/' º® øøøø /' Lake Michigan ÉÓÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ' +¼ From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 14 21:24:37 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!usc!sdd.hp.com!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!newsbf02.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: strictwool@aol.com (StrictWool) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: How safe is a 900mhz cordless phone?

The service provides an alphanumeric pager that will inform you of all working fires in the area. Also included are any special or unusual responses of area departments. Greater alarms from around the country are also paged out. The service operates 24 hours a day, however the out-of-state greaters occurring overnight are not paged out until morning. An optional alternative service, FIRENET LITE, pages out only local greater alarms, 24 hours a day. The pager can also be used as a normal numeric pager, whereby, someone can call the pager number and key a numeric message (such as a phone number that you should call) through their telephone keypad. Great for family, friends or employer to get hold of you. Cost is $15 per month. E-mail me if you want more information.

The 550-760 Mhz freqs are upper UHF telivision frequencys and the 9000 doesn't tune them. The phone conversations you pick up in 374-371 Mhz if not images from the cellular band may be phone patches from a local military base or airport - my best guess- probably depends on which frequncy modulation your rx is set for.

I live in Boulder, land of narcotics and paranoid people. I am trying to shoot spot news for a local paper and thus require a scanner. Unfortunately, the combination of camera and scanner have brought on a lot of annoying questions like: "Why are you taking pictures?" "You're a narc, arent you?"

I know those questions all too well. {GRIN!} Depending upon the circumstances I either tell them that I'm a `concerned citizen' or that I work for the UFP (United Federation of Planets). {CHORTLE!} Many of these questions come from those fucking hippies who are paranoid ^^^^^^^ Watch it! I resemble that remark! because 1: they smoke too much weed 2: they have a reason to be(drug business). I talked to a cop and he said that they know who the druggies are and would have arrested all of them(they hang near a tree in the city center) if they really wanted to(reason: more would take their place anyway). Some of the hippies say there are hidden mics in the trash bins, and there are cameras on the trees. Whenever I ask them where, they never clarify. They often want to fight(altho saying peace, and love and that stupid hand signal(peace)... I'd like to clarify something here. Those `fucking hippies' you are so eager to `bad mouth' are *not* hippies! Those are `street people' (A `fancy' term for vagrants.) and have been in the city for longer than I care to remember. When the `hippy' `movement' was in fashion they were not considered to be a part of it and they are still not a part of it! As for their `paranoia?'... I *don't* think that smoking too much `weed' has much to do with it. Doing some of the shit that passes for drugs these days, pushing (NOTE! I said PUSHING! NOT dealing! There *is* a difference even to this day!) what passes for drugs, and a whole lot more illegal activities are what make them paranoid. You best bet for `living? with them is to just blow them off as a bunch of fooles who will eventually get their `just desert'. {CHORTLE!} (As for that `stupid?' handsign... Be glad that they use that rather than that other handsign or something more violent. [Yeah, I *know* that a few of them can be pretty feisty at times, too. Just remember that they might be so numb that you'll have to almost break their skull to put them out and be ready to do it if you have to.]) Maybe they need to be educated in scanners. >> Nah. With *those* there's nothing much left to `educate'. {GRIN!} They've willingly burned themselves out and gone over to the `dark side'. Now... With the rest of the `public'... I agree. And... I'm always working to try and educate them about scanning, scanners, SWLing, and other radio related topics. I've only had a couple of Boulder PD officers, a couple of Boulder Co SO officers, a couple of Longmont PD officers, and (at this point in time.) not one Weld Co SO officer or CSP officer *not* understand why I carry a scanner. In most all of the cases when I'm asked about the radio, if I have the time, I explain *very carefully* what it is and why I carry it. (There are always a few cases where no matter what you try it seems to just not make any `impression'. {BSE GRIN!} And for those cases where I *do* seem to have made and `impression' I also try and get them, if they have a computer and modem, to call my BBS and join in the discussions we have in the Denver Me From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 14 21:24:56 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!bighorn.accessnv.com!bighorn.accessnv.com!not-for-mail From: eliro@bighorn.accessnv.com (Elliott Shapiro) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: peter baston Date: 13 Aug 1995 16:16:07 -0700 Organization: accessnv.com Lines: 11 Message-ID: <40m13n$3kv@bighorn.accessnv.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bighorn X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Has anyone downloaded PD102.exe by Peter Baston and if so, does it work?

It is not difficult to figure out! Though, as you claim, Gene Hughes may be more than the Editor of RS's Police Call, it does not change the FACT that it is a much less useful publication than "Gene Hughes' Original" Police Call. It does not change that FACT that these are two entirely separate publications that serve the needs of the scanner enthusiast from totally different approaches. Regardless of your attempt to flame me, I still stand by my original claims. RS's Police Call is nothing more than a series of lists that tend to be of more use to those wishing to determine the user of a freq that they themselves have located rather than those that wish to locate useful freqs. Gene Hughes "Original" Police Call on the other hand, is a finely crafted frequency guide that is designed to be informative and serve the needs of the scanner enthusiast (and even those that don't have a clue). I think that it is very easy to see that these are very different guides and should be evaluated as such. Still, my $0.02 worth!!

The 2042 will add intellegent search and store and a variable rate tuning knob. I would lean toward the AOR 8000 due to it's broader coverage and excellent performance. The 8000 is computer controllable with the addition of software and an interface. If you went so far as to buy an OptoElectronics Scout you could reaction tune the 8000. The 2035 can also be computer controlled using the OptoElectronics add on board and software. There is software coming out for the 2035 and Opto board that will scan in the area of 100+ frequencies per second.

What is my biggest problem as far as singnal loss is concerned? I bought a RS discone about 9 mo. ago, and had a similar situation. I have a 40' tower and about another 20' lead into the house. The loss comparisons between the two types of coax is quite dramatic. ( RS has the db loss comparisons.) If you're using the small stuff (58U?) you'll loose more db in coax length than you'll gain in height. Also the discone is a unity gain antenna, which provides wider frequency coverage, but little gain in any particular band.

To tell what side the noise is comming from start the veh. listen for the noise,then remove the ant. from the back of the scanner. If the noise continues it is from the power supply. To fix this problem confirm the unit has a good direct ground. (not to another ground wire, or with a screw mounted through carpet or plastic) Next take the +12V wire directly to the veh. battery. If the noise is still happens you will need to get choke filter/power filter from a local 2-Way shop If the noise stops when you disconnect the ant. connector that it. to fix this check your ant.coax and connectors for tightness and corostion. Second try moving the ant to a diffrent location on the veh.

I have two questions: 1. If the DC supply is putting out a little less than 13.8 volts, will it harm the radio? I've noticed that the radio will scan and then stop scanning. If I turn the light on, it comes on but it still will not scan. Turn it off then on, most of the time it will scan again. 2. If the DC supply is a little higher than 13.8, is there any built in mechanism to limit the amount of voltage so it doesn't ruin the radio? I'm obviously not an electrician so pardon my ignorance if I've used the wrong terms here.

Setting the squelch a bit higher helped but that's kinda kludgy. It seems that the squelch circuit in the radio is very fast acting and could probably use an integrator that would delay the squelch latching circuit for about 100ms or so. The noise it seems to be latching on to is probably due to internal switching to different bands.

The actual modification itself for any particular scanner/radio/etc. is not protectable by copyright. That is, if snipping diode D-12 in a certain scanner gains some unique function, the fact that someone else has written it up as a magazine article does not mean that another individual can not make the information available to others without violating copyright. Copyright protects the verbige or text used by any individual author. The factual information contained in any article is generally not copyright protected UNLESS there is some overall creative aspect to the presentation of that information. I post this, not to dispute the efforts of those that write such original articles, but merely to indicate there's a big difference between publishing an original article verbatim on the net (a copyright violation) as opposed to simply restating the facts as to what and how a particular modification can be done.

PLEASE DON'T START THAT AGAIN! FWIW, here's a listing I've compiled of fast food restaurant frequencies. The "inside" frequencies are typically the more interesting ones, especially later at night. The listing can be read horizontally to see who's on a particular frequency or vertically for some of the major chains to see which frequencies they've used elsewhere. This list was compiled from numerous posts on the Internet news groups alt.scanner and rec.scanner from many posters, among them: 1. Brad Steinman (cscon0151@uoft02.utoledo.edu, 131.183.1.4), 2. mcneill@salem.enet.dec.com, 3. Bob Parnass (parnass@ihlpm.att.com), 4. stretch1@aol.com. 5. Berton Carson (g9153402@huey.csun.edu) Thanks for sharing the information! Warning: unfortunately some of the postings confused CTCSS tone frequencies (in Hz?) with carrier frequencies in MHz, so some of the listings below are unreliable. I've started listing specific references next to frequencies listed. Scan the bands and see what's around locally. Hope this helps; have fun, -Patrick Penzias Dirks, pwd@apple.com.

For sale: Radio Shack PRO-2026 Production date: 11A2 (11/92) Already modified, and with full cellular coverage. Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 18 15:13:43 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!freenet.columbus.oh.us!pacific.mps.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcom.com!jwayda From: jwayda@netcom.com (Jim Wayda) Subject: Re: for salr PEO 26 NEW 25-1300mhz WITH CELLULAR !!yes,gets cellular !!!

For sale: Radio Shack PRO-2026 Production date: 11A2 (11/92) Already modified, and with full cellular coverage. Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95). (I'll supply receipt). I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up! In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc. This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring. It has full DIRECT coverage. By that I mean: - No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes. - No poor quality cellular frequency images. - No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done). - No limitations on the number of channels monitored. (This scanner will also pick up the cellular range in the search mode. So you do not have to program individual frequencies and scan them. You can program a range of frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP! This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course). The sensitivity and reception is great! Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable). (Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail) (COD is also up to you. I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment. I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check. However, personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before scanner is shipped.) Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me. Please email with info about shipping, COD, etc. email: resume@nr.infi.net In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a convenient time to call (evenings preferable). Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to cellular frequencies. It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations, including cellular. It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment. -Dan- From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 18 15:13:54 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!news.larc.nasa.gov!news.msfc.nasa.gov!europa.chnt.gtegsc.com!howland.reston.ans.net!torn!nott!cunews!freenet.carleton.ca!FreeNet.Carleton.CA!ad178 From: ad178@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Thomas W.

McMaster (CHMSAM@aol.com) My UBC 100 XLT has the same keys. after pressing manual you will be able to enter a desired (valid) frequency which should be the lower of the two freq's will you wish to search between. after entering the first frequency press limit and then enter the second frequency. Then press search, The scanner will search every frequency between the two you entered and will stop and listen when it finds something. A good idea is to turn on the delay to give yourself time to press hold incase the person being monitored stops speaking. Hold will pause the search. when hold is active you can single step back or forward by pressing limit and hold respecively. a summary Press MANUAL enter say 75.000 press LIMIT then 76.000 press SEARCH upon reception HOLD step back LIMIT step forward HOLD Oh, The E key allows you to store the interesting frequency into a memory usually the current one. Hope this helps.

To do this, you simply enter the frequence at the bottom of the range you wish to search (low freq) followed by pressing the limit button (do not press E). Second, enter the freq at the top of the range (high freq) and again press the limit button. Lastly, press search and the scanner SHOULD start searching the range you programed in. To stop the searching on a freq that sparks your interest, press the HOLD key. To resume your search, press search again. DO NOT use the SCAN key or your search will end and you will have to reprogram the high and low freqs. Hopefully this helps!

I have heard arguments both pro and con on discones, and on dipole arrays such as the Antennacraft scantenna. 3. If you are mounting the antenna outside. be sure to use a lightning arrester.

I frequently take a scanner with me when I go to an airport to catch a plane or pick someone up. Either I carry the scanner in my hand or in my jacket or pants pocket. NoOrmally, I just have to turn the thing on when i go through the airport security. If you travel to an international Destination, there, they may or may not like the idea of you having a scanner. Last year, I went to visit some relatives in Germany. had no problem in Frankfurt or Hamburg. At Frankfurt, they did sniff my radios to check for nitrates or explosives. At Stuttgart, they wanted to know whay i had the radio equipment, what i was doing with it etc... I had to negotiate with airport security, An airline represenative, and the airport police. Finally, I gave them my scanner, they put it in a pouch and hand carried it to the captian. I was able to get the radio back (Regency HX-2000 118-1300mhz) when I went through US customs!! contact the embassy of the country you expect to visit for specifics. also writing to the countries shortwave service may also get you an answer!!

I agree... same holds true for cordless phones. If you don't want me to listen, then use a land line! listening to cellular calls can sometimes be quite interesting. I's funny sometimes to hear people argue or fight over the phone...sometimes you hear drug deals and other illegal activity too!! Cellular Phones (mobiles) transmit on one frequency and the repeater (base or cell site) on another frequency. However, the base repeats the mobile frequency... all you have to dod is search between 870-896 and you should start finding calls sooner or later. There are those out there that make it their practice to listen to cellular frequencies and capture ID data from the cellular phones. they then `clone' other cellular phones using ID data they have captured over the air....

Hi John, Lowe Electronics produce a ACARS decoder hwich is available from many delare s here in the UK. It retails for around 70.00 Pounds ($110'ish). I beleive it is sold in the US by EEB but I'm not sure on pricing. Its a little decoder that plugs onto your serial port. You feed the ACARS Signal from any receiver (131.525 or whatever is is) via the speaker socket and the software does the rest.

Not saying I agree or disagree but thought it was of interest to the list so I decided to type it in and pass it on --- especially since I had only seen recaps and not an official statement from either of the parties involved. John M Morrison, Detroit, MI ############# City of Tulsa, Oklahoma Telecommunications Radio Services Division Date: August 14, 1995 For further information contact: Danny E. Smith 918/591-4212 Rod Hummel 918/596-9314 CITY OF TULSA VS. GASS AND ASTACIO TULSA, OK -- On July 28, 1995, a federal jury in Tulsa, OK convicted Larry Nathan Gass on all counts charged of illegally modifying and selling two-way radios capable of intercepting the communications of the City of Tulsa. In April 1995, a grand jury returned a 27-count indictment against Gass, 50, and Jon David Astacio, 42. Both were charged under 18 USC Section 371, Conspiracy, 47 USC Subsection 605(e)4 and 605(a), Sale or Modification of a Device Intended for Unauthorized Interception and Publication of Radio Communications, and 18 USC Section 2, Causing a Criminal Act. The essence of these statutes is that it is illegal for a person, if not authorized by the sender, to intercept any radio communications and then divulge the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect or meaning of such intercepted communication to any person. Court rulings in related cases hold that by listening to such a device one has divulged the contents of the conversation "to yourself," fulfilling that element of the crime. Other elements of the statute include modifying or selling a device that accomplishes the above. The indictment alleged that Gass and Astacio, acting both in conspiracy and individually, violated Federal law by modifying and selling Motorola and Standard brand two-way radios capable of accessing the Motorola trunking radio system operated by the City of Tulsa. The modification were performed with proprietary and copyrighted software not distributed to the public. Under an agreement with Federal prosecutors, Astacio, now of New York, pled guilty to three felony charges and testified at Gass' trial. Astacio's sentencing is set for later this month, and Gass is to appear before U.S. District Court Senior Judge H. Dale Cook for sentencing on October 18, 1995. He faces up to 85 years in prison and up to $4.25 million in fines. The convictions culminated a 16 month investigation by the Tulsa Police Department's Internal Affairs Division. Evidence was recovered during an August 1994 search warrant served at the offices of Tulsa Security Patrol and Action Helicopter Services, both owned by Gass. Other evidence was recovered by subpoena and search warrant from Gass' customers, which included major media outlets in Tulsa. This ground-breaking case was the first use of these statutes in a case involving a trunking radio system. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Woodward let (sic) the prosection team and stated that he spent an "enormous amount of time briefing the case" and asked attorneys in three different sections of the U.S. Department of Justice to research various issues before deciding to proceed against Gass. During the trial, Gass' attorneys many times tried to introduce evidence that simple scanners were capable of intercepting, at least partially, the communications of a trunking radio system. Most of these attempts were rebuffed by the judge, as no scanners were involved in the case, only trunking radios. A scanner, of course, is programmed with frequency numbers, while a trunking radio must be programmed with confidential alphanumeric codes not available to the public through legal means. Following the verdicts, Gass stated to the Tulsa World reporter Julie DelCour, "Whatever it takes and as long as it takes, this definately will be appealed because we think the people have a right to know what their police are doing." Internal Affairs Sgt. Rod Hummel states, "The Tulsa Police Department has always been open with the media. But we have made it clear to them what channels we allow them real time access. We restrict their access to certain talkgroups for the safety of our officers and so that certain operations are not disrupted while in progress. "Media members testified in court that they knew that the City of Tulsa and the Police Department made it clear what conversations could be monitored. They also testified their stations could not be competitive with scanners if their competitiors had cloned trunking radios. I find it interesting that Mr. Gass' defense team kept trying to introduce evidence that had to do with scanners. This case has never been about scanners and none were seized or introduced as evidence. If scanners are so effective, why would Gass' customers pay over $1000 per cloned radio to hear what they claim could be monitored with a $100 scanner? "Undisputed testimony was given at trial that Mr. Gauss (sic) attempted to place an agent of his into the City's Electronic Maintenance Facility, posing as an alarm technician, in an attempt to gain the proprietary codes needed to program radios. "I believe Mr. Gass would be upset - and rightfully so - if someone obtained the codes for a cellular phone that he uses and then programmed those codes into a device that would allow full access to his conversations. That wouldn't be right, and would be a breach of his privacy. Evidently Mr. Gass things (sic) that if you work for the government you have no right of privacy." ############# From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 18 15:14:28 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcom.com!lrk From: lrk@netcom.com (Lyn R.

In a Democracy, government employees, doing the government's work, indeed have NO right to privacy from the citizens. The prosecution in Tulsa appears to be another case of Motorola using the public's resources for it's own private ends. Too bad the Democracy has failed.

I just installed the Opto 535 in my Pro-2035 a week ago. I LOVE the combo! BUT, the signal strength seems really low on all received signals. I live about 2.5 miles from the local trunking tower & whenever I receive a signal from it, it registers about an S1-S2. I tuned the scanner to a 2 meter simplex freq & keyed my own radio from various locations around the area & the best I could do was an S4 (even at 50 Watts!! My question is, has anyone using the above board had the same problems? and if so, which pot did you turn up to fix it? I have a call into Opto, but I have not received a reply yet. Any help you might be able to provide would be appreciated. -- ******************************************************** Andrew Everhart - N9WCN Carmel, Indiana - USA Internet mail: aeverhart@iquest.net Internet Home Page: http://www.iquest.net/~aeverhart ******************************************************** From amsoft@epix.net Fri Aug 18 15:14:37 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!sc2c526a.ra.osd.mil!nova.sti.nasa.gov!lerc.nasa.gov!news.larc.nasa.gov!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.sprintlink.net!malgudi.oar.net!nt.colmicrosys.com!usenet From: lamiller@mktg101.com (Lesley Ann Miller) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Orange County Frequencies Date: Fri, 18 Aug 1995 00:59:59 GMT Organization: Marketing 101 (614) 890-5442 Lines: 17 Message-ID: <410ocl$60i@nt.colmicrosys.com> Reply-To: lamiller@mktg101.com NNTP-Posting-Host: mod159.colmicrosys.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Can anyone help?

Just another reminder that my software for decoding POCSAG paging transmissions is available at the anonymous ftp site ftp.demon.co.uk. The software operates at 512 or 1200 bits/second and decodes all pages sent on the frequency. The registered version allows pages to be logged to disk. A circuit for a simple interface is given, from a scanner's speaker output to a PC COM port. The file is: /pub/ham/scanners/PD-102.EXE and is a self-extracting ZIP archive containing program, configuration files and documentation. Many thanks to those who have already tried the software, and for all the suggestions for improvements. I shall be incorporating some of these into the next version, when I get the time. I have also uploaded a couple of other files to the same directory:- POCSAG.TXT - A general description of the POCSAG paging protocol, thanks to Brett Miller N7OLQ. 7100mod.txt - A description of how to modify an ICOM R-7100 to bring out the discriminator output. Perfect reception with PD ! Thanks to Tim Jackson (tim@iafrica.com).

Any of the newer ones (ie..the ones in the store now) are not cellular capable (51 that is) but I don't know about the 700. Basically, all the newer scanners are not easily modifiable any longer if modifiable at all due to the new federal law.

I dont have a 2026 or service manual for it, but 800J is a standard capacitor code for 80 pf ( 80 with the last 0 being a "multiplier" of 1, 801 would be 800pf, 802 would be 8000pf, etc ). There are other "standards", so you may have an 800pf or an 80pf capacitor depending on which code they used. Perhaps someone with a svc manual will post what you need.

Reason I'm selling it is that I have an uncontrollable urge to own an AOR8000 (will happily discuss trades). I can't justifying owning base and mobile units and I figure that I'll get more mileage out of a portable. Hope that answers all of the questions. -- -- Michael Alexander __________________________________________________ Coming to a bookstore near you this fall: The Underground Guide to Computer Security, by Michael Alexander.

Does it perform decently or does it just look nice? I bought one of these 5 years ago and have been using it ever since. I've had it on more different vehicles than I can count, and the magnet still holds perfectly. As for the performance of the antenna itself, I would rate it as very good across the entire spectrum. The coils allow for decent reception on low band, which other antennas (especially short glass-mounts) miss altogether. I don't care much for Radio Shack stuff, but this is an exception.

The day before I visited the "topside" of the park, I had toured through the "bottomside" of the park with a friend who is an engineer there. They subscribe to Accu-weather and have tie-ins to weather radar and lot of other weather info, because of the frequent thunderstorms in Florida. The next afternoon it started raining, and by listening to my scanner and hearing their workers radio in for reports, I was able to get some accurate predictions on how much longer the rain would last.

The word "basically" in ASCII is nine bytes. In 'net phone it is at least several _hundred_! How can you people claim that 'net phone uses no more bandwidth than IRC? I agree that two-way voice communication has it's place on the 'net, but for every legitimate user, there will be twenty clueless neophytes playing with it. THAT my friends, is going to kill more bandwidth than all of the browsers known to man! Have you seen the Web camera that lets you look at the Hollywood sign? That's probably 50k every time somebody visits, and I bet there are some lamers who check it out every day because they don't realize that there are *interesting* URLs out there. MAN! It's nothing but a stagnant eyesore, and some moron puts it on a Webcam. This guy will probably set up a 'net phone link to the middle of a remote forest so that people can pop in and see if falling trees really DO make a sound. Think about this: read my post aloud, and think about how much data 'net phone would have to pass to convey this message. I got it to hundreds of thousands of people in ASCII in under 3 kB. One last thought: Does anyone delude themselves into thinking the long- distance companies are going to let this go unchallenged? Do you really believe that there aren't some government dipshits out there trying to figure out how to charge you fifty cents to send an email? This is getting off-topic for this group (sorry). If anyone cares to continue this discussion, please move it to an appropriate group and leave a small post here noting that new group - thanks. [ Don't take life so seriously - it's not permanent!

Did you know it is illegal to listen to a radio stations relay frequency? Even though the traffic on the frequency is also broadcast on the stations commercial broadcast frequency? Why? The radio lobby got to Congress. They want us to listen to the advertising. Did you know that every telecommunications provider must provide Uncle Sam the ability to monitor and decrypt the communications on their service (to include after the fact?) GIVE ME A BREAK. I spent 20 years in the military, fighting and winning a cold war against an empire that kept its citizens from information. I thought we had won that war. Appears it may have just been a battle. Show some courage, and send a message to those who point the finger at the net. I would like to see the circuit published. For GODS SAKE, plans for the atomic bomb are available!!!!!!!! Its only a circuit, but is represents what is good about America. Ingenuity, initiative, competence, and the FREEDOM TO COMMUNICATE THE RESULTS!!!!! In some countries, that freedom does not exist.

PL tones, CTCSS, Channel Guard, Code Guard etc. are all low frequency tones that allow groups of users to share radio "channels" without interfering with each other. In actuality, each group of users can hear the other users if they turn off their CTCSS. Most leave it on so they don't have to be bothered by calls over the air that don't pertain to them. Most two-way radios that use CTCSS automatically disable it when you lift the microphone up. This way if another group of users is talking you know not to talk on top of them. Some radios can be programmed to not transmit if the frequency is busy. There are about 38 different standard tone frequencies that are used. They range from about 67Hz to about 250Hz. Typical radio audio is from 300Hz to 3000Hz so the tones fall below the lower limit and don't interfere with normal conversation. Tones between about 100Hz and 200Hz seem to be most popular around here where I live. There also exists a different type of CTCSS that is called DPL(tm) or CDCSS which makes use of a digital code that is also below the normal speach frequencies. CDCSS and CTCSS are not compatible so even if you've used up all 38 CTCSS tones you have hundreds more of the CDCSS ones to use. A scanner user might want to decode one of these CTCSS tones if they were only interested in one service on a shared frequency. Also, the CTCSS can be used as a "band aid" to silence a poorly engineered receiver that succumbs to interference from other frequencies. It should be noted that even though the receiver may be quiet when there is no activity it is still being desensitized by the interfering signal(s). Some scanners scan so quickly that they cannot make use of a CTCSS decoder. Some that do actually slow down the scan speed when the channel is busy so that they can check for valid PL before opening the squelch or resuming the scan. ie: Uniden 590 etc. Hope this helps! If you want more just ask. Cheers!

The night dispatch was quite amusing at times, especially on Mother's Day. One event in particular, an elderly lady called 911 and said that her daughter coming over to kill her with a knife. The dispatcher said something to the effect "See the complainant at
about her daughter coming to kill her." The unit responded and asked for confirmation that it was her daughter. Dispatch said yes and "After all, it's Mother's Day!"

A few months ago I was listening to a routine traffic stop; the dispatcher was providing a physical description of some miscreant they were looking for and it went something like this: 5', 7", brown hair, blue eyes, 150 years of age... She laughed for just a second, corrected herself (to say 150 pounds) and then laughed like crazy for about a minute with her microphone keyed. (Maybe you had to be there!)

One time, a new cop had written a ticket at our local Wal-Mart for someone parking in a handicapped parking space. The desk sergeant radios *900 to the unit that wrote a ticket at Wal-Mart*. The cop radios back and the desk sergeant told him that he just wrote someone a ticket for parking in a parking space reserved for senior citizens, not the handicapped. He told the cop to go back to Wal Mart and take care of everything. The rookie asked how will he know who to find? The desk sergeant starts laughing and says *the angry woman at the service desk*. You could hear him laughing more before he unkeyed the mike.

What should I be >looking for? :) Any scanner should be able to cover 10-30 miles radius. The biggest problem initially is getting the frequencies for your area. Trying to scan isn't much good usually, since you won't know what you are listening to if you do find something. If you want cell/cordless on a scanner get a older PRO-34/39/43. Or tabletop PRO-2022/32/06.

Television audio is WFM, while Video is Am, TV video sounds like a buzz on a scanner. have you checked any frequencies you are getting noise on against a listing of active frequencies for your area or surrounding areas ???

This is from memory, since I sold my (upgraded to address #2B below) R-1 a couple of years ago: 1. Supplied antenna is deliberately deaf because the receiver overloads easily. 2. Selectivity (ultimate rejection) is poor because: A: cheap IF filters are used B: RF noise from the CPU creates phantom signals at regularly spaced intervals from the desired one. This makes scanning and especially limit searching very frustrating as the scanner is constantly stopping at signals that aren't really there. 3. Battery life poor on internal 300 (!!!)) mAH pack. Adding an external battery pack effectively nullifies the radio's only saving grace: small size. 4. Too few memory channels, most of which are "reserved" for frequency lockout and auto-store during search. 5. Buttons are tiny and hard to push. 6. Performance below 30 MHz is very poor, even as "wideband" scanners go. People who buy this and expect to get shortwave DX are in for a rude awakening. Medium wave sensitivity is practically non-existent. Other than that - it's a great pocket radio :-) -- Mike Schuster | schuster@panix.com | 70346.1745@CompuServe.COM ------------------- | schuster@shell.portal.com | GEnie: MSCHUSTER From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 21 18:20:03 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!europa.chnt.gtegsc.com!library.ucla.edu!psgrain!nntp.teleport.com!usenet From: Al Gillis Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: ICOM R-1 opinions wanted Date: 20 Aug 1995 23:47:49 GMT Organization: Freightliner Corporation Lines: 17 Message-ID: <418hj5$dv0@maureen.teleport.com> References: <32616XRCJTQNLAEFXWJ@ods.ods.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ip-pdx4-31.teleport.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 16bit) To: nate@ods.ods.net Nate - I'm one of those who was drawn in to the ICOM R-1, thinking it would be a great little receiver.

Legally, the airwave probably mimic the 'air'. Jets move through a 'publically' owned resource. Old property law stated that land ownership was absolute, up to the heavens and down to the center of the earth. Case law emerged about ownership of animals, ducks for instance, that were shot where the bullet breached the boundry lines of another's property. Who owned the duck??? etc.. Ownership now doesn't have the absolute nature that it used to have -- and in fact, you can't even sue the airlines for flying planes over your house. (Unless of course they 'bark' a landing gear tire on your roof... ;-) Now that I've board you to tears.... The airwaves are publically owned. What this probably means is that the usage will always be subject to 'pop-culture' idealism.

I'd question the word 'receive'. A scanner has to have the right range abd tune in a police frequency specifically. That's clearly 'receiving'. The Scout just sees a signal of some arbitary frequency and displays it. I think you could make a case for it not really receiving the signal in the sense the law intended, but rather displaying the existance of the signal.

Whew! It will have 181 tower sites, use the 800 MHz band and be available for use by non-state governmental agencies for a $300 initial and $250 annual fee. Non-state users must purchase their own radio equipment and maintain their radios--the state doesn't want to get into the radio provision or maintenance business. The final system, scheculed for completion some time in 1998, will have 16,000 talk groups available and can be expanded. ANY radio on the system can talk to ANY other radio on the system, ANYwhere in the state. To insure this, they've devised a test procedures: the state has been divided into 2x2-mile grids. After installation, they'll drive the grids and test reception. When finished, 97% of the grids must have 100% coverage. No two adjacent grids can have less than 100%, thereby creating a large whole. It's the biggest single contract ever awarded by the state and the largest single contract received by Motorola. They'll subcontract out the tower, microwave and other parts.

Every scanner owner should be outraged, regardless of what frequency they listen to. If we are indeed "divulging the contents of the communication to ourselves" any time we listen, then this case has just declared all use of scanners (other than ham/CB monitoring) illegal. There is probably more to it than this, though. I would assume that this "divulgence to ourselves" only applies to using an unauthorized trunked radio, rather than a scanner. But, the mere concept that just listening can be construed as "divulgence" opens the door to a complete ban on all radio monitoring. >What do you think is going to happen if APCO-25 gets adopted on a >nationwide basis? > >That's right! You can tune your scanner to the ham repeaters! There was originally talk of Project 25 capable scanners, but in light of this decision, I doubt that it will happen. It seems that despite all the useful features available with a trunked radio system, many cities are using trunking purely as an anti-monitoring tool. I am sure that it will be the same way with Project 25. -- David Rice From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 21 18:20:19 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!nntp.crl.com!usenet From: mikec@a.crl.com Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Motorola / Tulsa / TRS Lawsuit Date: Mon, 21 Aug 95 09:04:09 PDT Organization: CRL Dialup Internet Access Lines: 41 Message-ID: References: <414vmj$lj2@ddi2.digital.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 168.75.126.17 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII X-Newsreader: NEWTNews & Chameleon -- TCP/IP for MS Windows from NetManage > Every scanner owner who listens to 800 MHz should be OUTRAGED at this > decision! > > The impact of this case is PHENOMINAL! > > What do you think is going to happen if APCO-25 gets adopted on a > nationwide basis? > > That's right!

Mr. Gass modified radios using propriatary information and software and they became capable of both transmitting and receiving on the City of Tulsa's trunked system. This case did not, does not, nor will it ever involve scanners. The police department has NEVER had a policy of going after law abiding citizens with scanners. Besides...how do you think that they found out about Larry Gass and his radios. Certainly, if Larry was only listening to his radios, he would never have been caught. But since he decided to try to sell these radios to the media (who have a great relationship with TPD, TFD, and EMSA), then he came to the attention of the police. Larry has a history of breaking the law. Check into his run ins with the FAA and his helicopter that he liked to land on an illegal pad on top of a public building. Again...this has nothing to do with scanners.

I was a paramedic in Tulsa, worked on the Haz-Mat team, and for the Fire Department. My wife was also with the Fire Deparment (in Communications). The City of Tulsa (read TPD and TFD) have a very open policy with people listening. In fact, generally all you have to do is call the radio shop and they will give you most of the frequencies. They even GAVE the media radios capable of receiving their trunked transmissions. However, they do draw the line on some of their freqs. Those are the ones used by the TPD/DEA task force, the Haz-Mat team on operations, and a few other 'critical' freqs. There does need to be a line drawn on what freqs are available (to protect the police, fire, paramedics and the public). Here is a situation for you. Larry Gass (since he sparked this debate) hears on one of his unblocked radios about a haz-mat incident and decides to take a look in his helicopter. In the process, the downwash spreads the chemical away from the contained site into a public area UPWIND. Is this right?? Or someone decides to try to see a drug bust up close and while the cops are trying to get him out of the way a cop gets shot. I have seen a case where a person got shot in just that situation (prior to TPD going to 800mhz...I was the medic that responded). There needs to be some protected freqs. I feel that the people who are concerned about not hearing 'everything' have other reasons to wonder what the police are up to. Did Terry McNichol ever post an arugument like that??? :) Mike From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 21 18:20:21 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!europa.chnt.gtegsc.com!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcomsv!uu3news.netcom.com!netcomsv!uucp3.netcom.com!lafn.org!lafn.org!ag001 From: ag001@lafn.org (Abraham Stavsky) Subject: Motorola flip phones as scanners?

With display panel facing you, locate the jumper marked L201 on the circuit board attached to the display. It will be about 2" in from the from and 2" in from the right side.

They have now been replaced by portable pagers, and are often available at hamfests in the $5 - $25 range. Since many are in rough condition and need repair, a hamfest special is better suited for hobbyists who like to fix their own radios. Plectron and Motorola crystal controlled receivers are excellent for dedicated monitoring of local frequencies -- a task for which you wouldn't want to tie up your 400 channel programmable scanner. They can be powered from 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper mobile cord. The audio | quality of a Plectron P1, Plectron 700 series, and Motorola Alert Monitor is far better than any consumer grade scanner and the sensitivity, image rejection, and intermod immunity is outstanding when aligned properly. * The Plectron and Motorola Alert monitors are single band | receivers: VHF-low, VHF-high, or UHF. No single Plectron | or Motorola Alert monitor can cover the entire 30-50 MHz | band, so there were versions optimized for each portion of | the VHF-low band. There were different versions to cover | low and high "splits" in the VHF-high band, too. Although | UHF versions were made, they are somewhat rare and coverage | is limited to 470 MHz and below. | Plectron made several models with dozens of different | options. Both the original P1 and later 700 series are | suitable for restoration, although I prefer the newer 700 | models. The Plectron 500 "economy" series is less | desirable. | The P1 series have black cabinets with a blue-green and | silver color scheme used on the front panel. They were | made in the Chief (tone decoder & carrier squelch), Patrol | (carrier squelch only), and Sentry (tone only) models. The | Sentry models lack a carrier squelch and therefore are of | little use to hobbyists except for scavenging parts. Model | number and frequency information appears on a gummed label | on the rear panel: | Band (MHz) Chief Patrol | ___________________________ | 25-54 R19 R15 | 148-174 R20 R16 | 450-470 R23 R21 | Table 1. Plectron P1 models | The R700 series have black cabinets with brown front panels | and are slightly smaller than the P1 receivers. R700s were | made in the Chief (tone decoder & carrier squelch) and | Patrol (carrier squelch only) models: | Band (MHz) Chief Patrol | ___________________________ | 25-54 R719 R715 | 148-174 R720 R716 | 450-470 R723 R721 | Table 2. Plectron 700 models | The Plectron FM Receiver/Recorder is a collector's item. | It is essentially a 700 series Chief receiver with a built | in cassette tape recorder. The recorder is carrier | activated and can tape transmissions while the receiver is | unattended. A connector on the rear panel allows for all | kinds of remote control possibilities. | I use two Plectron P1s and four R700s in my living room, | seven R700s down the basement, and several Plectrons and Alert Monitors stored in reserve. The basement Plectrons are turned on automatically when someone walks down downstairs. Power to them is controlled by a modified | Radio Shack Safe House infrared motion detector, originally sold as an intrusion alarm. When a rescue squad member from Missouri advertised a number of Plectrons on USENET, I bought them -- all 20+ of them. I cleaned, fixed, and restored each one. After | recrystalling them on local frequencies, I distributed them | to members of my scanner club who were glad to get them. Both brands of receiver require special crystals. I * sometimes use Radio Shack's generic 3rd overtone scanner crystals in the Plectrons but they oscillate on frequencies far away from their marked frequencies. That's because the Plectron oscillator is designed to be used with a crystal which oscillates on its fundamental, not overtone, frequency. AC power cords for both types of receivers use unique connectors and are scarce. You can buy them new but it's much cheaper to drill a hole on the rear panel and attach a permanent a power cord. Make sure you use a grommet in the hole to prevent the metal chassis from chafing the line cord. Many Plectrons and Alert Monitors were equipped with an internal NiCd battery pack, intended to power the receiver if the AC power fails. It's unusual to find a used monitor receiver with the NiCd pack still capable of holding a charge. More often, the batteries have died and the series charging resistor has overheated and burned. Be sure to remove the dead batteries as they often leak. If you find the squelch on your Plectron 700 series receiver has too much hysteresis, replace R96, a 180K resistor, with a 560K resistor. On the P1, the resistor is designated R81. I have not used the Plectron tone alerting features so I cannot address that except to say that the special coils and capacitors for the dual tone decoders vary depending on the tone frequencies and are somewhat difficult to obtain.

I know of two possible causes that are not related to the scanner itself. The first is that in some areas the police use their freq. assignments for double duty. In addition to the usual voice traffic they also use the same freq. for tone and voice paging. If this is the case, there is nothing you can do except get used to the noise. The other possibility that comes to mind is a phenomenon called intermod. This is caused by a high density of RF signals in the vicinity of your scanner. If you live close to an area where there are a lot of antennas (police, public service, paging, etc.) some of these signals will mix with each other and produce a new signal on another frequency. Also, an unwanted freq. will show up on the ghost IF freq. of your scanner. This problem is usually geography related and will disappear if you move to a different location. Also, if you are using more antenna than you need you may be leaving yourself open to this problem. If you only listen to police, fire and other services which use repeaters, then the small telescoping antenna or rubber ducky that came with the scanner is probably all you need. I don't know if this will help, but, lacking further details about your problem, it is a place to start. Good luck. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \ \ / Glenn Reed a.k.a. g_reed@icon.net / \ CAP BBS sysop - 405-736-6044 (OK Wing) \ / Amateur Call: KF5XB - Tactical Call: Sooner 44 / \ \ / "Illegitimae non Carborundum" / \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ NOTE: The opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not represent anything organic.

The problem you are experiencing may be as a result of your geographic location. Scanners are not very selective receivers per se. If you live very near a paging transmitter it's very likely that it will wipe out weaker signals. This is a common problem in big cities. If other radios don't succumb to the same problem there *may* be a problem with the unit. However, the PRO43 is pretty selective so I suspect a different scanner would probably be even worse. The problem could also be a result of an "image" but i don't think that's too likely with that unit. Cheers!

It's true. The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the portable PRO-62. Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images. Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

Although I'm not familiar with this chip, I wonder if they have a version that makes use of E2PROM instead of the ROM? I'm thinking like the Motorola 68HC11xx chips have. If this were the case you could use this other version for test and programme trials. The original ROM dump from the RS scanners may or may not be accessable and this information would be copyrighted anyway. I would imagine that it would be locked up pretty tightly. However, clearly the Opto fellas have figured this all out and I don't think they would have placed a 10,000 unit order - heck, maybe they did! Reengineering the CPU is the only way to go. As for removing and replacing the CPU you will need special tools specifically engineered for this task otherwise the job will be very difficult. If I were to attempt this I would use a 68HC11xx personally as the chip is very versatile. Cheers!

Not that I like political discussions in technical groups but wasn't it Klinton why signed the Crime Bill (among other information repression bills?) Contrary to popular belief of the drones of the US, the Crime Bill was more that "assault weapons" and "high capacity magazines". There was some pretty draconian stuff in there. As far as I have been able to tell the only information that is "illegal" to have is information classified under Executive Order 12356 "National Security Information", "Atomic Energy Act of 1954", "Whistle Blowers Protection Act", "Intellegence Identities Protection Act", and the "Subversive Activities Act of 1950", and the "Electronic Communications Privacy Act". As far as I know, all that anarchist stuff that seems to be popular is not illegal. However, we do receive certian discretionary acts from law enforcement about our every day activities. Some of the stuff could lead could bring unwanted attention from law enforcement. It's your choice though. (Reminder, I am not a lawyer get one if you are riding the edge and want to be a Supreme Court case. Countries other than the US have various laws. In Great Britian it is the "Official Secrets Act."

Aside from their technical uses (for which I have no knowledge), they are excellent for "grabbing" freqs when you are within close proximity of a transmitting radio. I have grabbed freqs from vehicles next to me in traffic and from handhelds while standing nearby. A friend of mine is able to get a lot of freqs by talking to radio uses and telling the less knowledgable that his freq counter is able to read the level of dangerous radio waves. He then has them key up for a moment while he reads the level ;) Of coarse, he never {GRIN} finds high levels of these dangerous waves. I'm sure that there are many other uses for freq counters that I have never thought or heard of. Hopefully this helps!!!!

If you can't find it there, try a store that I have purchased several things from with excellent results.

With the exception of one 12v line to the audio amplifier, all voltages in the scanner are regulated. The "13.8vdc" input is designed to run off a car generator, which can produce significant surges. I wouldn't worry unless the power supply exceeds 15v. If your source is a 'wall cube' supply, these will produce the specified voltage under the rated load.

Don't need an AC adapter... just go to your local Wal-Mart or equivalent and get a DC/DC ciggarette adapter with the other end able to fit the DC jack on the back of your scanner. I haven't priced one in a while but I wouldn't pay more then $10 or so. While your at it, stop by Radio Shack (don't ask any questions) and get an external scanning antenna. I have one that is said to have good reception between 30mHz-1.3gHz and I have no complaints. Much better reception, and safer then having the screw in antenna sticking up in the car. You may have to get an adapter to fit the BNC connection on the scanner.

The voltage coming from the voltage regulator in your car is usually maxed at 13.8 VDC even though the battery is "12 VDC" Be sure to note the polarity of the connector you use and have the correct fused link listed in the owner's manual. I don't know the correct amperage for the fuse, just make sure you don't EXCEED the maximum amps recommended in the manual. Perhaps someone else knows the correct size of the fuse.

Lines: 36 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: winnie.freenet.mb.ca Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hi all, I have recently "bought into" the world of RF scanning (I purchased a Pro-51 and a Pro-2006) and I'm really interested in my new-found hobby. But neophyte scanner buffs have lots of questions - so here goes..... 1. What books are available on RF scanning? I'm also interested in modifications, so what books can assist me in that area? (I already have a frequency listing for my area). What magazines are also useful? (I'm considering Popular Communications at the moment) 2. I did the "keyboard mod" that was recently posted for the Pro-51....but how does this improve my scanner? I was already receiving "images" of cell phones in the 900 mhz range anyways. Is the reception better perhaps? 3. Does anyone know of any other mods for the scanners that I have? I have already cell-capability in the PRO-2006 and I'm aware of the speed-increase mod for that model also. 4. Is there a program for either one of my scanners that will make RF scanning more enjoyable? (open to suggestions here) Although I enjoy reading the communications over the news group, I would ask that you e-mail me directly. I don't want to annoy anyone with some already-asked questions. I'll be paying close attention to this newsgroup in the next couple of weeks to pick up any tips and pointers. Thanks in advance for your responses and patience!

Everything said above is on track. Some additional tips: 1. Start to intensify and rifle in on your local area monitoring several days ahead of time, as often the advance security and press gets quite vocal. 2. Do spend a lot of effort monitoring your local law enf. _airborne_ units. They often direct the ground units that are blocking off freeway overpasses, etc. 3. The radio/tv newsies are an excellent source of exciting listening, particularly when they stake out various White House aides' hotels, trying to get an exclusive interview. Unfortunately, they do seem to be migrating towards a lot of cell phone usage, so their competing stations won't scoop them. Their remote truck crews often provide some very funny late night bar hopping conversations. 4. Make sure that you do not break the law and listen to the local cell repeater sites ! 5. Have a blast!

So far the yupi seems to have better sound and you can, if you are into ham radio, duplex with it quite well. Have not played with either on HF yet. The Alphanumeric display is neat cuz when you are listening to some P.D. and you havent got the memory # memorized it's nice to look and see "P.D. Belmont" . If I only had one to chose I would take the yupi. I just have not fallen in love with the 8000 yet. p.s.

The other kinds of frequency counters by StarTek and Opto are more test instruments than "sniffers". The Scout captures the frequency and holds it in memory. The ability of the newer Scouts (ver 3.1) to reaction tune a AR 8000 or 2700 is really nice. The older Scouts need a small adapter the CBAR as Opto calls it. The mod you need to make to the radio is fairly easy to do. I have done the mod to my 8000, the 2700 mod looks a bit more involved. I would think the reaction tune feature would be nice for airshows and the like.

The pilots usually get anxious when this happens. Many hospitals now prohibit cell phones for the same reasons-- having their electronic equipment malfunction during surgery isn't fun.

The 'cells' reuse the same frequencies every tens of miles to only a few miles, depending on how congested the area is (i.e. in cities, the cells are set up close together, running at low power, and they command the phones to operate at low power as well). In rural areas, the cells are on mountains and relatively high power is used to minimize the number of cells required, at the expense of the number of calls that can be made at once per square mile covered. All this is based on the range from a ground-based phone being reasonably predictable and fairly short. When you take a phone on a plane, it will cover a much larger area, and interfere with a lot of cells. It is possible that it wouldn't work at all, not due to low signal, but because several ground transmitters reach it at once. The 'cellular' network for the airplane phones is set up using different design rules, considering the larger coverage from the airborne transmitters. I believe the FCC rules for celluar phones prohibit airborne operation, probably for this reason. The airlines also have reasons other than just profit to ban radio devices. And finally, the ground celluar companies could experience a lot of interference from airborne users. -Mike KD4QDM >^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ > AdaMatt@aol.com >^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ From amsoft@epix.net Sun Aug 27 17:53:11 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!jupiter.planet.net!news.ia.net!usenet From: pmullmar@ia.net Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Cell phones on planes?

Any ideas? The prohibition of cellular phones on any airborne aircraft (not just airliners) is prohibited by the FCC. This is stated in FCC rule 22.911 (Part 22 has been changed, it may be 22.925 now). The FAA also has a federal aviation regulation (FAR 91.21) that prohibits the use of any portable electronic device while in flight with five exceptions. 1) Hearing aids, 2) Heart pacemakers, 3) Portable voice recorders, 4)Electric shavers, 5) and any device that the operator (airline) has determined will not interfere with navigation or communications systems. Everything the airlines allow you to use falls under number 5. The FAA has told airlines not to allow the use of portable electronic devices that are considered intentional radiators such as C.B. radios, remote controlled devices, etc. Even if the FAA said that cellular phones were safe, the FCC prohibits their use under part 22. Cellular systems depend on the mobile units having limited range. Using phones while airborne increases the effective range and can cause interference with co-channel users. The service offered on airliners uses equipment designed to be permanantly installed and meets FAA (TSO) and FCC requirements for air to ground use. This equipment uses networks of ground stations that are not associated with the cellular systems.

BM>Please e-mail directly to: BMallard@kean.ucs.mun.ca BM>Thanks : ) realistically, in a word, NO. the type of scrambling, though not that complicated, is called "rolling code" scrambling. the ticking you hear is a clock pulse that synchronizes the transmitting and receiving radios. every time a radio is keyed, the encryption information is sent first, then the officer begins to speak. the encryption information is sent in a data burst before speech begins, and the other radios in the system use the information to match the encryption code and decode it. if you wanted to spend LOTS of money, you could probably do one of two things. 1. find out what company makes the type of rolling code scrambling you are hearing, purchase their encrypt-decrypt module AND a radio that is compatable with it (few are, mostly motorola rigs), then beg the pd for the encryption key data (good luck). 2. beg your local pd to let you purchase one of the radios they have (more money!) so you can monitor their conversations, (again, good luck!). greg kd6ven From amsoft@epix.net Sun Aug 27 17:53:16 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!bloom-beacon.mit.edu!news.moneng.mei.com!news.ecn.bgu.edu!vixen.cso.uiuc.edu!uwm.edu!lll-winken.llnl.gov!uop!pacbell.com!amdahl.com!netcomsv!uucp3.netcom.com!lafn.org!lafn.org!ag001 From: ag001@lafn.org (Abraham Stavsky) Subject: Denver, Col. frequencies?

First of all, I have to say thanks to all those who responded. I recieved the radio yesterday, and I am quite happy with it. It's extremely small, and weighs so little that it's ideally suited for traveling. It came with a rapid charger, which charged an empty bp-83 battery pack in about an hour. The internal battery took about 5 hours to completely drain. Whan everyone said how prone the Icom R-1 was to overloading, I was discouraged a little. However, I found that replacing the factory antenna with a Comet CH-32 Miracle Baby antenna drastically reduces this problem, if not eliminating it completely.

You can't have the best of all worlds that small. The receiver is a design of compromise. There's no way to fit all the bandpass filters needed in that small space, so compromise filters are used, and in nominal situations the receiver works fine. It's when the R-1 is in a RF saturated environment that problems arise. I'm sure an attenuator would have helped, but a small reduced performance antenna works as well.

I've been flying a _lot_ lately, and I usually haul some combination of an Alinco DJ-560T, an AOR 1000 or 8000, and a Scout with me, in my carry-on luggage. The worst I've had (even in the new "heightened security" times), was to run my bag back through the X-ray lying on it's face, instead of the back, and to open one pocket to show the security officer the Scout while murmuring something about how "I have a lot of metal-cased electronic equipment with me, see?"

This is a radio controller that connects to any VHF/UHF transceiver and can issue x-10 commands. (X-10 is a power line standard for controlling devices throughout a building. Sears, Radio Shack, and others offer these compatible units) The unit also has an alarm input, a listen feature, a short voicmail box, and responds to all commands in a pleasant female voice. The system IDs with your recorded voice and call sign. This description doesn't do the product justice, so please check out the new homepage at : http://www.halcyon.com/pos.time.sys/top or you may email us with you address so that we can promptly send you our brochure and newsletter. NOTE: This product is intended for US voltages of 120 / 220 VAC. Another version is offered to support other international power standards. FLASH! NEW FEATURE! The RCS-I has a new feature called Secure Access Mode(SAM). When enabled, the access code changes dozens of times per hour, making it virtually impossible to hack into. This Product will work on other radio services like GMRS. Marine and Business bands!

The reason for the change is the 2042 has added intellegent search and memory load and velocity tuning. Otherwise the radio is the same as the 2035 except for the $50.oo higher price tag. The PRO 26 has been out for awhile but got a nice new higher price for the 96 catalog.

Brian - you cannot set one freq to 000.000 once you have entered in a freq. There is a way to reset them all to zeros, but I never kept that info as once I keyed 200 freqs, I did not want to start over again.

What is the opinion of the readers about this scanner? I understand it was top of the line until the 3000XLT came out but that one is almost $100 more than the 2500. I saw in the faq that some people had problems with it. What kind? Also, I am trying to listen to the local police dept. (470.3625 MHz). The technical Spec. Sheet about the scanner says that the default steps in the 400-512 MHz region is 12.5 kHz. When I try to program the correct frequency in, the scanner defaults to 470.3600 MHz. Will I still be able to hear the police (I do hear occasional conversations but am not sure if it's them), or do I need some kind of mod to make the scanner more sensitive in this zone? How about other frequency regions? Can and should I try to get the most resolution I can in all or is that a waste of time? Is it even possible to do? Thanks for any and all.

Actually it plugs into your receiver / scanner. I know what you mean about the volume sensitivity. A perfect solution which worked for me was to use the tape out jack on my 2006. That, and an outside antenna tuned to the 900 Mhz band makes this system bulletproof. good luck JTB From amsoft@epix.net Sun Aug 27 17:54:40 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!in2.uu.net!news3.digex.net!online.comm-data.com!not-for-mail From: bill@comm-data.com (Bill Smith) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: pager software 1/3 Date: 26 Aug 1995 22:17:06 -0400 Organization: Communications Data Services, Inc.

It's true. The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the portable PRO-62. Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images. Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

I got a Pro-43 from Radio Shack last week and stuck some duracells in and they worked just fine. I then bought Radil Shack Nickel Cadium rechargable batteries to use in it. I fully charged them and now when I try and use the Pro-43, I get comms but with a high-pithced sound on all channels and freqs. It sounds like a micorphone when it overloads. I would really like to use rechargable batteries but this is getting ridiculous. Any suggestions?

The 36 MHz VXO (yes variable crystal oscillator) is mixed against a couple of other L.O.s. This 36 MHz L.O. is "bent" to give the 0.1 kHz steps from XXX.XX0.0 to XXX.XX9.9. This L.O. is the one that is controlled via the PLL. I still can not tell why this L.O. just jumps off freq every once in a while. Does anyone have an e-mail address or a Web page for Icom? Thanks.

CS> Chris Chris, the folks that I've talked to, (no WM types) have enjoyed and profited from the courses offered by Gunsite. You may want to look into attending a satellite course at a local range if any are being offered in your area. That is 100 Pistol, and it is $300, plus a fairly large amount of "Factory power" ammo, I think in the neighborhood of 300 rounds, for the two day course. $300 is less than the cost of flying to Arizona and the cost of the 250 course. Also, you will need to be prepared to offer credentials, including a notarized letter from a local LE dept or judge declaring you a good citizen/non-criminal, and also a letter of recommendation from someone in your community that can vouch for your good character...this can came even from your pastor, if you attend church. I think these types of credentials requirements probably weed out some of the Walter Mitty types up front. Also, please be aware that these instructors, along with all other "combat" type schools, demand absolute 100% observance of range safety at all times, and a single infraction can get you dismissed from the class on the spot.

One of them dealt with a drug bust that was reported by a citizen listening on a scanner to cell phone users. Another one involved a life-threatening one where someone was going to try to kill somebody. Both cases involved 4th Amendment, "Just or Probable Cause" to enter without a warrant< issues. Appeals judges affirmed the original convictions that were based upon knowledge given to police by scanner users. I'm not an attorney, but I read a lot of legal papers, particularly on "probable or just cause issues." For the record, I'm for protecting "us" innocents in cases like this. If someone chooses to use the airwaves to discuss a crime, then he or she gives up the right to privacy. That's my opinion; take it for what it's worth. For info, the 4th Amendment was mainly put into the Bill of Rights because the first signator on the Declaration of Independence was jailed based on letters found on his desk during an illegal search by the British about 1772-1773. Hancock also had all of the other nine issues done to him by the British that are in the "Bill of Rights."

I think "frequency sniffers" are neat, but as the original posted stated, an error of 5 kHz at 146 MHz is terribly inaccurate for a frequency counter used as a test instrument. That's an error greater than 34 ppm (parts per million). An accuracy at least 10 times better is required for repair work. Too, 5 kHz accuracy at 146 MHz is just barely adequate for finding frequencies to program in a scanner unless you know the bandplan and the station you monitor conforms to the bandplan. Extrapolating the error to UHF means you'd be off by about 15 kHz. -- ============================================================================== Copyright 1995, Bob Parnass, AJ9S parnass@att.com Locate transmitter sites with RadioMap(tm) From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:19:36 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!psgrain!rainrgnews0!PolarNet!not-for-mail From: clangfrd@polarnet.fnsb.ak.us (Carl Langford) Subject: Atlantic City and ferry boat Freqs wanted Message-ID: <81f7cb$82d6.80@PolarNet> Date: Thu, 31 Aug 1995 17:45:06 GMT Organization: PolarNet X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.93.11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Lines: 10 Hello, I will be traveling up from Ocean City Maryland to Atlantic City for a day or two, and would like the freqs for Atlantic City, and the ferry boats that I will be riding to get there from OC.

BUYING A USED SCANNER RADIO by Bob Parnass, AJ9S [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole or in part on CDROMS, in bulletin boards, networks, or publications which charge for service without permission of the author. Free distribution is encouraged.] Anybody with enough money can buy a brand new scanner, but you can save lots of money if you get a good deal on a used scanner. Hamfests are probably the best place to find used radios, but you must be familiar with the equipment. Hamfests are repleat with older radios you won't see in today's catalogs. At last count, there were over 110 scanners and monitor receivers of various brands in my collection. I purchase most of my receivers at hamfests or horsetrade with other radio hobbyists. This article describes a few of the FM receivers in my collection, and is not meant to be complete. A Used Scanner May be a Broken Scanner Getting a bargain is not without some risk. I have had sellers look me square in the eye and tell me their radio worked fine -- when it really didn't. Buying a used portable scanner is riskier than buying a mobile or base model. Portable scanners are subject to more physical abuse and many have been dropped. If a radio has been dropped, the laws of probability dictate that the first point of impact was probably a corner, so be sure to examine each corner for evidence of trauma. Scanners used in mobile service are subject to vibration, dust, and temperature extremes. This shouldn't dissuade you from buying a used mobile scanner, but be aware of possible complications. You should have some recourse if the radio you buy turns out to be defective. If you can't fix the radio yourself, you can pay to have the manufacturer or a service clinic repair it for you. Several people have been pleased with Electronic Repair Center, in Franklin Park, IL, which repairs scanners for a flat fee. Call them at (708)455-5105 to find out their current rates. G & G Communications (telephone 716-768- 8151) is another scanner repair company. This family owned company repairs scanners and stocks parts and crystals for several older models. They usually don't repair AOR scanners due to lack of manufacturer support. They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482. Evolution of the Scanner It helps to understand some scanner history before shopping for a used scanner. You will likely see radios from many vintages at a hamfest, and should avoid buying early units unless you are a scanner collector. One of the earliest ancestors to the scanner was the converter. Manufactured by Tompkins (Tuneaverter), Petersen, Bearcat (Lil Tiger), Midland, and others, converters were made to operate in conjunction with AM radios. Then came wide band monitor receivers, in both tunable and crystal control models, like the Radio Shack PRO-2B. Truthfully, converters and tuneable FM receivers are interesting but don't work well by today's standards. While tuneable receivers were in vogue, solid state technologies supplanted tubes. Better performing, narrow band crystal controlled units, like the Sonar FR-105, followed. These units did not scan, rather channel selection was accomplished using a simple rotary switch. Sonar even made a 24 channel unit, model FR-2513, in which crystals were held in a rotary "turret." The earliest scanners, like the 1968 vintage Bearcat BCH, BCL, and BCU models, did not provide individual channel lockout capability. Electra didn't use the term "scanner" and instead called these innovative radios "business receivers." Other models, like the SBE Sentinel, employed a "Channel 1 Bypass" switch so a user could lockout channel 1. The first scanners came in single band models, followed by multiband models. As two-way radio users started to populate the 450 - 470 MHz band, consumers were forced to pay a premium for UHF scanner coverage. Some multiband scanners, like the Electra's Bearcat III, required an optional circuit board for each band. There were scanner mutations, designs which never evolved -- odd combinations of AM broadcast receivers with VHF-FM receive capability, like the flamboyant turquoise Sonar Sentry FR-103 portables, Electra's Jolly Roger, and GE's Surveyor series. Lafayette Radio Electronics offered a few CB transceivers with VHF receiver capability. These poor performers didn't interest consumers of that era and you should avoid these models unless you are a scanner collector. The first programmable (crystal-less) scanners were difficult to program. Users had to look up frequencies in a code book and tediously program the information into the scanner in binary form. Some models, like the Bearcat BC- 101, Radio Shack COMP 100, and Tennelec MCP-1, resembled Altair or PDP-8 computers, with a row of 16 or so toggle switches. Instead of toggle switches, the Regency WHAMO-10 was programmed by breaking teeth from metal combs. The SBE Optiscan (and its Sears clone) required poking a series of holes in plastic cards which were then inserted into a slot on the front panel. Keyboard Programmable Scanners Both Bearcat and Regency, as well as Radio Shack offer some good models. I would avoid the Bearcat 100, and older scanners made by AOR, JIL, Fox, Tennelec, and Robyn. Scanner features often differ not only by model but by manufacturer. For instance, most Radio Shack and Bearcat programmables allow enable/disable of the delay function on a per-channel basis. Older Regency units permit the delay to be enabled/disabled only globally, that is, for all the channels at one time. Radio Shack scanners contain a reasonable number of features. All the older Radio Shack scanners were made by General Research Electronics (GRE). Uniden began making scanner models for Radio Shack in the late 1980s, and now supplies about half the Radio Shack scanners. The older GRE-made models scan a bit slowly and have a higher level of synthesizer noise. Most have too much hysteresis in the operation of the squelch control, but this can be fixed completely by replacing one resistor. Good, detailed shop manuals are available for Radio Shack units for $5 - $12. In the name of cost cutting, some models have done away with the concept of a "channel bank", i.e. the ability to select/deselect a group of channels at a time. The bank concept was a good one. It may be inconvenient to operate a 30 channel scanner without banks (e.g. Regency MX3000, HX1000) if you operate the way many scanner hobbyists do. If you want to buy an American-made scanner, you will have to buy an old model. A few years ago, the Regency and Bearcat scanner lines were purchased by Uniden, a Japanese company, and production was moved to Asia. My favorite VHF/UHF receivers are the 400 channel Radio Shack PRO-2005 and PRO-2006, the Uniden/Bearcat BC9000XLT, and the ICOM R7000 and R7100. The ICOM models are more "communications receiver" than a conventional scanner. For portable use, I prefer the Radio Shack PRO-43 and Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT. Obtaining Crystals If you do purchase a crystal controlled scanner or monitor receiver, you will probably want to buy more crystals to cover local frequencies. Scanner crystals may be ordered from your local Radio Shack store or from one of the companies below. Be sure to specify the operating frequency you want and the brand and model of scanner. Some companies may ask you to send a schematic of the scanner or require more detailed information, like series or parallel resonance, load capacitance, etc. American Crystal Co. 1623 Central Ave. Kansas City, KS 66102 tel. 913-342-5493 Bomar Crystal Company 201 Blackford Ave. Middlesex, NJ 08846 tel. 908-356-7787 Cal Crystal Lab Inc. 1142 N.

(800)438-8155. AOR AR2700: 1995 vintage. 500 channel portable covering 500 kHz to 1300 MHz. Lots of good features, e.g., 10 linkable search banks, lighted keypad, per-channel attenuator, S- meter, battery meter, optional voice recorder and speech inversion descrambler. Global rescan and pause delays, but no auto store, data skip, nor battery saver. Internally generated noise results in broad birdies on AR2700 tested. Insensitive carrier operated (vs. noise operated) squelch stays closed on signals unless they are moderately strong, causing scanner to skip transmissions of interest. ICOM R-7000: 1986 vintage. At about $1000, this was once the top VHF/UHF receiver. 99 channel, multi mode coverage from 25-2000 MHz with a small gap at 1000-1025 MHz. Memory can be expanded to 198 channels by adding simple switch to pin 19 of memory IC8. Tuning knob lets you tune through parts of the spectrum much easier than using the SEARCH mode on conventional scanners. Selectable USB/LSB allows reception of new amplitude compandored sideband (ACSB) stations. S- meter doubles as discriminator meter to aid tuning. Useful search and store feature, reminiscent of the the Bearcat 250, searches between 2 limits and automatically stores new frequencies into channels 80-99. Audio and control interface for tape recorder. Noisy relay, activated when the receiver is tuned to frequencies above 520 MHz. Searches and scans slowly but can be sped up to about 12 cps by adding a resistor. Too big for permanent mobile use, but too nice to leave alone in the car. If you don't want to spend $1000, get a Radio Shack PRO-2004/5/6 instead. R-7100: 1992 vintage. At about $1300, this is the Cadillac of VHF/UHF receivers. 900 channel, multi mode continuous coverage from 25-2000 MHz. The radio RF/IF/AF portions of the R7100 are similar to the older R7000, but the R7100 is constructed using surface mount parts. Both the R7000 and R7100 are much more immune to intermod than the Uniden/Bearcat 760XLT and the portable PRO-43. The firmware in the R7100 is much more sophisticated. 9 banks of 100 channels. Further, you can associate each channel with 1 of 10 groups. Many possible ways to scan. 10 pairs of search limits. Search and store ("memory write") scan mode lets you store 100 frequencies instead of the 20 in R7000. Another R7100 improvement is that you can program up to 100 channels for the R7100 to skip while searching. R7100 has 2 VFOs ("windows"). Both the R7000 and R7100 scan slowly compared with PRO-2004 and PRO-2006, and that's a drawback. Both the R7100 and R7000 employ a noisy relay, activated when the receiver is tuned to frequencies above 520 MHz. Scanning a mixture of VHF and UHF frequencies serenades the Icom user with a very annoying clickety- clack, clickety-clack! UNIDEN/Bearcat and Electra/Bearcat Bearcat III (Electra): 1976 vintage. 8 channel crystal controlled scanner. Requires optional front-end circuit board for VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands, but only 2 boards can be installed within the radio at the same time. Two crystal filters. No aircraft band coverage nor rescan delay. Front mount speaker sounds good. Strong local oscillator radiation often causes interference with other scanners in the same house. Bearcat IV (Electra): 8 channel crystal controlled scanner. Newer version of Bearcat III but contains front-end circuitry for VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands. Better selectivity than Bearcat III or 12 due to having three instead of two 10.8 MHz IF filters. No aircraft band coverage. Front mount speaker sounds good. No rescan delay. Bearcat 5 (Electra): 1979 vintage. Eight channel economy base model covering VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands. 117 VAC only. No track tuning. Black plastic cabinet. Bearcat 6 (Electra): Six channel VHF-low and VHF-high bands. 117 VAC only. Wood covered particle board cabinet. Bearcat 8 (Electra): Eight channel VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands. 117 VAC only. Wood covered particle board cabinet. Bearcat 12 (Electra): 1979 vintage. One of the last decent crystal controlled scanners. 10 channels. Variable scan speed up to 20 ch/sec. Single delay on/off switch. Front mount speaker sounds good. Manual contains schematic. Single conversion, 10.8 MHz IF. Selectivity is poorer than programmable models, like the 300, allowing adjacent channel interference. Covers VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands but no aircraft band coverage. Crystal positions must be arranged by band. Bearcat 15 (Electra): 1983 vintage. Actually made for Electra by competitor GRE (General Research Electronics). The only Bearcat crystal controlled base/mobile scanner offering 118 - 136 MHz AM aircraft band. 10 channels. BC101 (Electra): 1975 vintage. First Bearcat synthesized unit. 16 channels, no priority. Frequency programmed in binary by setting toggle switches on front panel after looking up code in code book. No frequency readout. Uses custom IC for CPU, now discontinued, so factory authorized service is no longer available. I have four of these units. DC operation requires optional mobile power supply. BC100 (Electra): First programmable portable scanner. Be prepared for at least one repair in the first year. Early units, with threaded antenna connector, have high frequency of repair, particularly LCD readout, keyboard, and battery holder. No battery backup. Poor case design in early units caused battery to disconnect from radio, resetting microprocessor and clearing memories. No priority channel or aircraft band. Some people swear by the BC100, others swear at them. BC220 (Electra): 1979 vintage. 20 channels. Reasonable number of features but 20 channels doesn't seem enough. Service Search for Marine and Aircraft. LED readout. Good scanner, but tinny audio. BC20/20 (Electra): 1981 vintage. Similar to BC220 but with 40 channels and different CPU circuitry. A maximum of 20 channels can be scanned at one time. Reasonable number of features. Service Search for Marine and Aircraft. LED readout. Good scanner, but tinny audio. BC250 (Electra): 1976 vintage. 50 channel model, rich in features, but lacks aircraft band and 144-146 MHz. Search and Store feature extremely useful for finding federal frequencies. Clock. High frequency of repair. Power transistors not heat sinked adequately, causing heat damage to surrounding components and circuit board. Failure of Q204 on the feature board known to cause odd display readings. Digital circuitry very sensitive to glitches caused by static and AC line spikes. Avoid 1978 or earlier vintage units. All BC250s use custom ICs (e.g., IC6, a divider chip, mfd. by Exar), which are now discontinued, so factory service is no longer available from Uniden. BC260 (Electra): 1983 vintage. Super heavy duty metal cabinetry and lit controls, aimed at mobile use for firemen, police, etc. Few frills, only 16 channels, no aircraft, but generous coverage of federal bands omitted in the older Bearcat scanners. Good sensitivity. Lots of audio. Good internal construction. Backlit keyboard allows operation in the dark, but the keyboards on some units require high pressure to operate. Brightness control for display and keyboard, but multiplexor circuitry for vacuum fluorescent display produces audible whine which may be annoying in a quiet room. Backlighting may fail in some units due to poor contact on connector used to fasten light panel to front circuit board. 9 volt regulator transistor Q28 (TIP29) may fail, causing blank display while leaving audio intact. Method of connecting an external speaker is awkward. BC300 (Electra): 1979 vintage. 50 channel top of the line scanner. Service Search feature contains 11 ROM banks of preprogrammed channels. Switching power supply failure noted in early units due to insufficient capacitance - component value was changed in newer units. Schematics show at least 100 components changed between earliest and later units. Preset squelch pot, mounted internally on circuit board, misadjusted in new units - adjustment usually required after burn-in period. Good sensitivity. Built in clock. I leave it on 24 hours a day. This is a favorite. BC350 (Electra): 1981 vintage. 50 channels in 5 banks. Includes aircraft. Used to be Bearcat's top of the line, overpriced scanner but never very popular. Dual use keyboard and display allowed 8 text characters to be associated with each channel, a feature clumsily implemented, and awkward to use. Units plagued with various hardware problems including bad memory ICs and short life power transformers. Firmware bugs without cures. The BC300 is a much better scanner than the BC350, and at a lower price. BC760XLT (Uniden): Also sold as BC950XLT through Scanner World. Small, mobile scanner supplied with mounting bracket and wall wart AC power supply. Some of the keys are backlit. 100 channels in 5 banks. Service search. Earlier version has Motorola type antenna jack and AA battery backup. Later version has BNC antenna jack and internal lithium battery. Can be fitted with optional CTCSS decoder. Hyper sensitive and easily overloaded by strong signals, especially when used with outdoor antenna in base applications. Conventional 10.8 MHz IF prone to images. Television audio heard in some places. BC800XLT (Uniden): 1985 vintage. 40 channels in two banks. Covers 806-912 MHz, as well as of vhf, uhf, and aircraft bands. Receives 10 meter fm and all of 6 meters, as well as federal portions of vhf and uhf bands. Fewer birdies on vhf-lo band than other scanners. Scans and searches very fast. Clean, robust audio output. Extremely sensitive, but very prone to overload by strong signals when connected to outdoor antenna. Too much play (hysteresis) in squelch adjustment - can be improved by changing one resistor. Positive terminal in memory backup battery holder installed backwards in early units, allowing memory loss when scanner unplugged from AC outlet. Tunes in increments of 12.5 KHz on 800 MHz band, whereas cellular telephones are on 30 KHz channels. See "The Bearcat 800XLT ... an Owner's Report," by Bob Parnass, in Monitoring Times, March 1986. BC860XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage. 100 channel table top unit. Can lock out 10 channels during search. Good performer except for images. See "The Uniden Bearcat BC860XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, May 1995. BC890XLT (Uniden): Same as Radio Shack PRO-2036. Tuning knob. 200 channels, global delay. Count, AUX, and Auto Store features. Scans and searches fast. Accepts optional CTCSS board. Dual conversion with 10.8 MHz first IF -- lots of images and birdies. Prone to severe intermod, especially when used with an outdoor antenna. See "The Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass, in June 1995 Monitoring Times. BC9000XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage. High quality base using up-conversion. 500 channels in twenty banks. Up to 250 channels can be programmed with alpha labels. Tuning knob. Selectable AM, NFM, WFM modes. Very fast scan and search. Can lock out 50 channels during search. Delay and attenuator independently programmable for each channel. Effective Auto Store feature stores unique frequencies. Good RF section, but not as robust as PRO-2004/5/6. One urban user, located within a couple of blocks of several high power transmitters, reports severe desense problems. See "The Uniden Bearcat BC9000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, March 1995. BC100XLT (Uniden): 1987 vintage. Very good 100 channel portable with 10 priority channels. Unique feature tells whether a given frequency has already been memorized. Generous coverage of conventional bands, including commercial aircraft, but no 800 MHz. Decent leather-like case. Slide-on 550 mAH NiCd battery pack. BC200XLT (Uniden): 1987 vintage. Also sold as BC205XLT through Scanner World. Very good 200 channel version of BC100XLT portable scanner but includes 800 MHz band. 10 priority channels. Unique feature tells whether a given frequency has already been memorized. Decent leather-like case. Slide-on NiCd battery pack. BC2500XLT (Uniden): 400 channel portable with tuning knob. Plagued by intermod and images. Early units drained batteries quickly even while turned off. BC3000XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage. Excellent 400 channel portable with 20 banks. Up conversion. Very fast scan, search, and intelligent Auto Store. Mode, attenuator, and delay settings programmable for each channel. 50 frequencies can be locked out during search. Larger speaker than PRO-26 produces better, crisper audio. See | "The Uniden Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in | Monitoring Times, April 1995. Regency TMR series: First generation crystal scanners. Come in all varieties of band coverage. Models with both UHF and VHF bands must use separate antennas for each band (disadvantage in mobile installations, but can be overcome by connecting two front ends via a capacitor). Not sensitive enough to cover the entire 30 - 50 MHz range in a single model. There three versions of VHF-low band coverage depending on the part of the 30 - 50 MHz band covered (LL, LM. and LH). TMR scanners use unsocketed | incandescent bulbs for channel indicators which require | periodic replacement. Easy to crystal: Radio Shack | crystals work well. TMRs usually $2 and up at hamfests, | often in poor condition. Don't pay more than $50, even if mint. Front ends must be tuned for selected portions within the bands for best sensitivity. Wide IF selectivity troublesome in urban/suburban areas. Primitive digital scanning circuitry may become confused at times. but power off/on restores sanity. Replace aging capacitors in the scanning circuits. You can find a TMR8H eight channel high band unit most often. TME series: The base versions of the TMR models. Both the TME and TMR models share many common circuits but the base versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel. The most common TME model is the TME8 H/LM eight channel dual band scanner in a metal cabinet with wood coloring. ACTR series: Replaced the Regency TMR units. By the time | Regency made the ACTR units, they no longer offered | different models for different parts of the 30 - 50 MHz band. Look for the later ACT series, e.g., ACTR-106 (10 channel tri band) or ACTR20/6 (20 channel tri band), used light emitting diodes for channel indicators instead of incandescent bulbs. Available in 1 to 20 channel models - most are multi band receivers. Somewhat wide selectivity. Not all that bad a deal if cheap. ACTE series: The base versions of the ACTR series. The ACTE and ACTR circuitry is similar, although the base versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel. The | most common ACTE model is the ACTE8 H/L eight channel dual | band scanner in a black metal cabinet. WHAMO-10: Regency's first synthesized scanner. Appearance more like a crystal scanner, with a single LED per channel. User has to break off teeth on a metal 'comb' for each channel according to a code book. External frequency control unit DFS-5K optional. UHF VCO reference oscillator drifts on some units. Soldered sheet metal shields around some circuitry make access to some components difficult for servicing. Comb sockets prone to bad connections after moderate use. Not recommended due to maintenance difficulties. K500: Nice wood-like cabinet. 40 channel model with every feature Regency could dream of in one scanner, except aircraft band. Idle tone bypass feature for mobile phone stations works about 50% of the time. Weather alert feature. Service Search in several banks. Search and Store facility not implemented as well as BC250, but better than none. Built in clock when radio off or in manual mode. Can be programmed out of band. Reasonable performance, but sensitivity could be better. Spring contacts on membrane keyboard may need soldering after prolonged use. K100: Bare bones version of the K500. 10 channels, no priority feature. Same wood-like cabinet and reasonable performance as K500. Spring contacts on membrane keyboard may need soldering after prolonged use. M400: 30 channel replacement for K500. Service Search, but no aircraft. Easily programmable out of band. Built in clock when radio off or in manual mode. Backlit keyboard good for night viewing and mobile use but generates RFI into nearby SW receivers. A favorite. MX3000: 30 channel replacement for M400, but basic features only. Nice lit keyboard, but may cause RFI into nearby SW receivers. Easily programmable out of band, but no aircraft. All 30 channels are in a single bank, and lack of direct channel access make this model more difficult to operate. Good first scanner. M100: 10 channel unit. Same as MX3000 except different color and fewer channels. Nicely lit keyboard, but may cause RFI into nearby SW receivers. HX1000: Good, fairly rugged, 30 channel handheld synthesized unit. Generous out of band coverage but no AM aircraft coverage. Built by Azden. Very sensitive on UHF, but annoying audio hiss leaks through speaker when squelched. Belt clip chintzy, but can be directly replaced with better clip from Kenwood TR2600A. Like the MX3000, all 30 channels are in a single bank, and lack of direct channel access make this model more difficult to operate. Low discount price makes this best choice for programmable portable. HX650/H604: 6 channel crystal portable. Likely made by Sanyo. Same as Fannon and Bearcat Thin Scan units, (except that Bearcat has 10.8 MHz IF frequency, and is harder to get crystals for), but scans faster. Small size and common crystals (available at Radio Shack), make this 1st choice for bare bones portable scanner. Radio Shack PRO2004: 1986 vintage. Top of the line, wide band scanner for 1987. After a diode is cut, enjoy continuous coverage from 25-520 and 760-1300 MHz, AM, NBFM, and WBFM. Has 300 channels in 10 banks of 30, backed up by conventional 9 volt alkaline battery. Any channel can be designated the priority channel. Scans and searches fast. Lots of well designed features, like 10 pairs of search limits, Lockout Review, default search increment and emission mode. Sound Squelch allows skipping dead carriers during search or scan. Metal cabinet, good internal construction and shielding, but no mobile mounting bracket or DC power cord. Soft touch membrane keyboard. Good sensitivity and selectivity. Very good radio. See "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2004 Programmable Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S, in The Radio Enthusiast, February 1987, and Monitoring Times, March 1987. PRO2005: 1989 vintage. Essentially a size reduced PRO-2004 with surface mount components and 400 channels. Some people think the small knobs, smaller display, and plastic cabinet are a setback from the 2004. The smaller size, real rubber keyboard, and vertical front panel make it easer to use mobile, although there is no mobile mounting bracket available and the keyboard is not backlit. More sensitive than the PRO-2004 but 800 MHz signals leak through into the commercial aero band. Highly recommended. See "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2005 Programmable Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S, in The Radio Enthusiast, June 1989, and RCMA Journal, August 1989. PRO2006: 1990 vintage. Essentially the same as PRO-2005 but scans faster. Probably the best scanner made to date. Highly recommended. See "The Realistic PRO-2006," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, October 1990. PRO-2035: 1995 vintage. Cumbersome 100 channel bank size. Tuning knob. Poor dynamic range. 10 linkable search banks. Dumb Auto Store feature stores the same frequencies over and over. See "The Radio Shack PRO-2035 - How Does It Compare With the PRO-2006?," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, January 1995. PRO34: Portable scanner with 200 channels and 800 MHz coverage. Ten "monitor" channels. Operates from AA cells. Slow scanning, low audio output, and chintzy plastic case detract from an otherwise good performance. No decent leather case available from Radio Shack. If you need a portable with 800 MHz, get a Bearcat 200XLT. If you can't get a 200XLT, get a PRO-34. PRO2021: Base/mobile scanner. 200 channels in 10 banks, LCD display and raised rubber keys. Lots of memory but scans too slowly and lacks 800 MHz. Ten "monitor" channels. Radio Shack seemed to have an overstock of 2021s as they were on sale for such a long time. Close out price dipped to about $200, which made it a nice scanner for beginners. PRO2022: Base/mobile scanner. Like the PRO2021 but includes the 800 MHz band. Cellular images throughout the 847.6 - 869 MHz range. Includes power saver circuit, odd for a base unit, which can clip the first part of a transmission. PRO2036: Same as Uniden/Bearcat BC890XLT. Tuning knob. 200 channels, global delay. Scans and searches fast. Count, AUX, and Auto Store features. Accepts optional CTCSS board. Dual conversion with 10.8 MHz first IF -- lots of images and birdies. Prone to severe intermod, especially when used with an outdoor antenna. See "The Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass, in June 1995 Monitoring Times. PRO-2037: Triple conversion all plastic base scanner made by GRE. Home version of the PRO-62 portable but with more intermod. 200 channels in 10 banks, one search bank, selectable AM and FM. Uses up conversion circuitry but inadequate front end filtering still allows images, though not as bad as in 10.7 or 10.8 MHz IF circuits. Crisp, respectable audio given the top mounted speaker. See "The Radio Shack PRO-2037," by Bob Parnass, in July 1995 Monitoring Times. PRO2001: Early, single bank 16 channel programmable. Reasonable coverage of the 3 traditional bands, minus aircraft band. LED digital display as well as an LED per channel. Mechanical lockout switch for each channel. Delay is either on or off for all channels at a time. High synthesizer noise level. Troublesome plated through holes on digital board in some units renders radio virtually unfixable. Could never get mine to work more than a few days in a row; always another bad connection. Some owners have no trouble. PRO52: 8 channel VHF-Lo/Hi base unit. No UHF band or provision for mobile operation. Good little scanner despite limited frequency coverage and Spartan lack of frills. Crisp squelch action and good audio, helped by a front mounted, vertical speaker. PRO2003: Radio Shack's 1986 top of line. 50 channels + 10 FM commercial broadcast band channels. Includes aircraft. Good frequency coverage and functionality, but at a high price. Poor human engineering: difficult to read keyboard makes the PRO2003 hard to operate unless in a well lit room. Keyboard label coloring improved on newer units. Rather slow scan rate and high price. Although there are provisions for 12VDC operation, the cabinet shape and lack of mounting bracket makes mobile operation impractical. Scan rate only 8 channels/sec vs. 15/sec in Regency and Bearcat. Causes RFI: Plastic case permits scanner to radiate signals into nearby receivers. PRO-43: Very good portable made by GRE. First Radio Shack portable with up conversion, and 222 MHz ham and 225 - 400 MHz military air band coverage. 200 channels, single search range. Small, convenient size. Muffled audio. Speakers in early units known to fail and more powerful speakers were used in later units. 800 MHz band coverage fully restorable in early units by removing diode. Uses same 6 cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables. Subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range. PRO-60: Very good portable made by GRE. 200 channels, single search range. Similar features and same IFs as the PRO-43 it replaced but the PRO-60 has wider frequency coverage and crisper audio. Covers 75 MHz and commercial FM broadcast bands. Improved Direct search can be stepped manually in single steps. Uses same 6 cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables. Railfans take note -- the PRO-60 and PRO-43 are subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range. Draws 100 mA while scanning and 2 mA while turned off. PRO-26: Very good portable made by for Radio Shack by Uniden. 200 channels, very fast scan/search. Good display. Covers all TV channels, but spectrum adjacent to cellular phone band is censored which prevents monitoring parts of some trunked systems (e.g., IL State Police district 4). Up to 50 frequencies can be skipped during search. Limited image rejection causes 929 MHz paging interference in 170 MHz range. Audio suffers from small speaker. PRO62: Good portable 200 channel scanner using up conversion. Similar to PRO-43 but no military air band, different upper frequency limit, and slightly different IFs. Selectable AM/NFM modes. Better intermod immunity than PRO-43. See "The Radio Shack PRO-62," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, February 1995. * PRO30: 16 channel programmable portable with aircraft band. Good frequency coverage. Extra controls on top allow control of SCAN, MANUAL, and PRIORITY functions while worn on belt. Good belt clip. Low audio output. Plastic case prone to break at BNC antenna connector under severe use, vs. metal frame in Regency HX1000. High price, no discounts or sales yet. I had 6 or 7 PRO30s, having to return them several times during the 1 year warranty, although other owners have had little or no trouble. Troubles included oscillation in IF stage, no UHF band reception, case broken around base of antenna connector, etc. PRO-24: Only 4 channels in this crystal controlled portable. Covers the three basic bands, but no aircraft. Easy to obtain batteries and crystals. Characteristic Radio Shack squelch problem, fixable by changing one resistor. All-plastic case larger than Bearcat Thin Scan and clones. See "The Radio Shack PRO-24 Scanner," by Bob Parnass, excerpted in the "Technical Topics" column, RCMA Newsletter, February 1984. Craig (division of Pioneer) 4530: Japanese 10 channel crystal controlled 3 band unit. Also available under Plectron name but in different cabinet. No aircraft band. Deluxe features like priority, trimmer capacitors for netting each channel, front panel speaker, and rugged metal cabinet make this unit a winner. Channel lockout slide switches have finite life. Replacing burned out incandescent channel lamps not fun. Grab a 4530 if you find one in good condition. Sonar: Sonar made several crystal controlled scanners and channelized monitor receivers which shared the same RF circuitry. Each radio was housed in the same size metal case and worked on both 120 VAC and 12 VDC. The models differed in the number of channels, the band coverage, and whether individual channels could be locked out. Although they used a 10.7 MHz first IF, Sonar radios require parallel resonant crystals different from the common series resonant crystals used in Regency and Radio Shack scanners. Some Radio Shack crystals will work in Sonar units, but more often they oscillate a few kHz off frequency and are unsuitable unless changes are made to the oscillator circuitry. Therefore, beginners should avoid these radios. Typical Sonar squelch has long time constant causing a long noise burst at the end of each transmission. FR-104, FR-105: 6 channel monitor receivers covering 25 - 50 MHz or 150 - 175 MHz. Manual channel selection, i.e., no scanning. Early models are identified by an 11 pin connector on the rear and they could be used with an optional NiCd battery pack and charger which bolted to the rear panel. Later models used Cinch Jones connectors with flat contacts. Optional tone decoder board. FR-2512, FR-2513: 24 channel versions of the FR-104 and FR-105 monitor receivers. Manual channel selection, i.e., no scanning. FR-2514, FR-2515: 8 channel scanners. Channel 1 priority. Recommend you avoid these models as there is no way to lockout a channel from the scan sequence. FR-2526, FR-2526, FR-2528: 10 channel scanners covering various combinations of 3 bands. Each channel could be locked out. Channel 1 priority.

Summary of Sonar base/mobile monitor and scanner receivers Tennelec Manufactured the first synthesized scanners. Company went out of business several years ago. Schematics and parts difficult to obtain. Radios reputed to be poor performers. Got my MS-2 and MCP-1 basket cases for free and sometimes regret taking them. Not worth fixing unless you have access to DTL/RTL chips and circuit diagrams. Plectron and Motorola Alert Monitor Receivers In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of firemen and ambulance squad members came to rely on their transistor Plectron and Motorola Alert monitor receivers. They have now been replaced by portable pagers, and are often available at hamfests in the $5 - $25 range. Since many are in rough condition and need repair, a hamfest special is better suited for hobbyists who like to fix their own radios. Plectron and Motorola Alert crystal controlled receivers are excellent for dedicated monitoring of local frequencies -- a task for which you wouldn't want to tie up your 400 channel programmable scanner. These radios are fixed channel units and do not scan. They can be powered form 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper mobile cord. The audio quality on a Plectron P1 or 700 series is far better than any consumer grade scanner and the sensitivity and intermod immunity is outstanding if aligned properly. The Plectron 500 series is less desireable. The Motorola Alert monitors are pretty good, although the audio lacks bass. No single Plectron or Motorola Alert monitor can cover the entire 30-50 MHz band, and there were versions optimized for each portion of the band. There were different "split" models to cover segments of VHF-hi band, too. Although UHF versions were made, they are somewhat rare. Both brands of receiver require special crystals. I sometimes use Radio Shack's generic 3rd overtone scanner crystals in the Plectrons but they oscillate on frequencies far away from their marked frequencies. That's because the Plectron oscillator is designed to be used with a crystal which oscillates on its fundamental, not overtone, frequency. If you find the squelch on your Plectron 700 series receiver has too much hysteresis, replace R96, a 180K resistor, with a 560K resistor. On the P1, the resistor is designated R81. Parts for Plectron receivers are available from Federal Signal in University Park, IL, and may be available in the future from: Woodson Electronics/Plectron Plectron Place P.O.

Not the ham PL tone to unlock a squelch. Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CCTSS) is a sub-audible tone system that is used to open squelch or provide access to other functions of equipment. Private Line or "PL" is Motorola's trademark for this system. I think GE calls it "Tone Squelch". CCTSS is the generic, industry name for it. PL is not exclusive to hams - it's used in many services. Hams just use the term "PL" for sub-audible tones like many would refer ALL facial tissue as "Kleenex". There are methods for identifying radios when they key up. Motorola uses a data burst called MDC-1200 or MDC-2400. This is incorporated into PTT-ID, emergency buttons on portables and "man-down" alerts. There are similar systems offered by other manufacturers. -- Curtis Wheeler - Pleasanton, CA From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:19:57 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.magicnet.net!netline-fddi.jpl.nasa.gov!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcomsv!uu3news.netcom.com!netcomsv!uucp3.netcom.com!inferno.com!vector Subject: CCTSS: what is it?

I was talking to a good friend's roommate a while back about the Boeing 777. He is an engineer and worked on the design of the anticollision (strobe) lights you see on the wingtips. He was saying that they designed the lights for the 777 from scratch and ended up using special composites on the housing and reflectors for one reason...weight. The goal was to get the assemblies from about 10 lbs to under 7. Sounded like a lot of work to save three pounds on each wing of such a large jet. I am a private pilot and appreciate lightweight equipment myself when flying a Cessna 182 - but would 6 lbs really effect a 777 ??? Check this out.... I don't know if I recall the numbers he related to me exactly - but for every pound they can cut from the aircraft weight, they will save ONE THOUSAND POUNDS of fuel each year....or something along that line. I remember how UPS Next Day Air ads used to talk about how they kept their planes washed - even though they already carry a thousand pounds of paint on the skin, I guess twenty or thirty pounds of dirt can make a difference. Just gives you a feel for how important all of the design work is, huh. -- Curtis Wheeler - Pleasanton, CA From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:20:00 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netcom.com!kjn From: kjn@netcom.com (Ken Navarre) Subject: Re: Cell phones on planes?

But, just why would an airline want to encourage the use of private cellphones when they can have the profits from the AIRPHONE concession???? Lets ignore, for the moment, the problem that a cell phone operating at 20,000 feet creates by accesing numerous cell sites at widely spaced locations (say over a thousand square miles). Another reality: Part of the algorithem for the search for cloned cellphones deals with widely spaced cell sites being accessed at the same time.

The radios for most jets set under the floor about where the divider between coach and first class is (according to a pilot I talked to who was deadheading one time). I was on an L-1011 out of SFO and we pulled out of the gate...pulled back in...back out, etc about 6 times. Everytime we pulled out, the nav equipment went out. When we pulled back in, the equipment worked. Turns out...some guy was using a camcorder as we started back out and stopped when we pulled back in. I couldn't believe it, but once they made him put it up, everything worked fine. I agree, it would be nice if they could insulate the equipment so that wouldnt be a problem.

This information is available from their FTP site, FTP.FCC.GOV. The file containing the FM station data contains over 8 MB of information in a 2 MB file. The information is stored in a format which is not usable directly. While few people would be interested in browsing through all of this data, many people, myself included, would be interested in getting a list of all of the nearby FM stations, with a few of the more important station parameters displayed in an easy-to-read format. Toward this goal, I developed a script which retrieves the FM database and generates a concise list of FM stations in my area. The first few lines of this list are shown below. The columns show each station's frequency, station class, callsign, effective radiated power and antenna polarization, latitude and longitude, distance and heading (useful for antenna pointing), and the state and city of the station. Freq Class Callsign Power Lat Lon Km Deg City ---- ----- -------- ----- --- --- -- --- ---- 88.1 FM B1 WJHU 10000 - N39:19:53 W076:39:28 31 326 MD Baltimore 88.1 FM D WMUCFM 10 + N38:58:59 W076:56:37 44 253 MD College Park 88.1 FM B1 WJTM 4000 + N39:25:05 W077:30:03 96 292 MD Frederick 88.1 FM D WVYC 36 - N39:56:49 W076:43:47 97 346 PA York 88.5 FM B WAMU 50000 + N38:56:09 W077:05:33 58 252 DC Washington 88.7 FM B1 NEW 10000 | N39:13:44 W075:45:15 62 77 MD Massey 88.9 FM B1 WEAA 12500 + N39:20:31 W076:35:13 29 338 MD Baltimore 89.1 FM A WXHL 1 - N39:40:38 W075:39:47 94 47 DE Christiana 89.3 FM B WPFW 50000 + N38:56:09 W077:05:33 58 252 DC Washington 89.7 FM B1 WTMD 10000 + N39:23:45 W076:36:29 35 339 MD Towson 89.9 FM A WOELFM 3000 + N39:35:35 W075:51:49 75 43 MD Elkton 90.7 FX D W214AD 30 - N38:43:12 W075:56:54 61 134 MD Easton, etc. I thought that others might find such a list of FM stations useful, and so I put the script on my FTP site. Instructions on the use and customization of this script are in the comments at the beginning of the file. It should be usable on just about any Unix box. I've also been able to run it unmodified on my PC under OS/2, using the Internet access kit for FTP access, and the GNU version of bash, gzip, awk, fold, sort, and other utility programs. The URL for the file is: ftp://ftp.digex.net/pub/access/kodis/fmx or if using ftp manually: $ ftp ftp.digex.net (log on as user anonymous) > cd pub/access/kodis > get fmx The script is well commented, and should be easy to modify if a different output format or selection of station parameters are desired. The FCC also maintains lists of all television stations within and near the US, and of all AM stations in the Western hemisphere. Generating a similar list for transmissions of these types should be a simple clone-and-hack exercise. I hope that many of you find this a useful program.

I'm not clear on what this "vader" contrivance is supposed to accomplish. I would suspect that it would be a handy way of recording traffic and note the time/date along with the recorded sample. Come to think of it, I can't see how a couple of chips shoved in a scanner can be made to do this to my (or anyones') satisfaction. In fact, this could be done with very little hardware. If you had Cheek's abortion or better the Opto456 you would merely have to feed the audio from the scanner to the soundcard on the computer. The rest would be entirely software! Comm' audio wouldn't call for a very high sampling rate so you could fit a lot of dialogue on a few megabytes of hard disc. What a great idea! Cheers!

HOW DO YOU FIND THESE SCANNER FREQUENCIES? by Bob Parnass, AJ9S [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole or in part on CDROMS, in bulletin boards, networks, or publications which charge for service without permission of the author. Free distribution is encouraged.] I am often asked, "How do you find these frequencies?" Scanner enthusiasts can obtain frequency information from several sources, including books, government microfiche records, or other listeners. Books The most convenient source of fire and police frequencies is the Police Call Radio Guide, published each year in 9 regional volumes by Hollins Radio Data, and sold at Radio Shack and larger book stores for under $10. Police Call is basically a computer printout of FCC license information in the fire, police, local government, and conservation services in two lists: by licensee name within state, and by frequency. Later editions have included a few pages of local airport and nonsensitive federal government frequencies. I highly recommend Richard Barnett's 1992 book, Monitor America, published by Scanner Master Corp. A 3rd edition is expected soon and will be available from Grove Enterprises for about $30. This second edition is crammed full of police, fire, local government, news media, sports, national park, and commercial broadcast frequencies for all 50 states. The information was compiled mainly from members of the world's largest scanning club, the Radio Communications Monitoring Association (RCMA). Monitor America contains detailed communications system profiles and precinct maps for major metropolitan areas. Police and fire radio codes and unit identifiers unique to local agencies are listed for several cities. This differs from Police Call, which gives a more sterile, but uniform treatment of licensees, listing even the smallest of towns. A 3rd edition is expected in early 1995. Scanner Master also publishes regional frequency guides for Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and other states. Beyond Police Call, available from several sources including Radio Shack, covers the business, schools, and other stations not covered by Police Call, its sister publication. One volume covers the entire USA, but no call signs are shown. Aeronautical frequencies are covered in the Aeronautical Frequency Directory, written by Bob Coburn, W1JJO. Although most of the information is about civilian aviation, Bob included sections on military mid-air refueling and CAP. The 401 page third edition is available from Official Scanner Guide. The same publisher sells the Maritime Frequency Directory and frequency guides for several New England states. Some of these books are available through Radio Shack, too. The most readily available source of sensitive US government frequencies is still Tom Kneitel's Top Secret Registry of US Government Radio Frequencies. Published by CRB Research, the 8th edition is available from Grove Enterprises for about $22. Kneitel's book contains frequency listings for NASA, military, FBI, Secret Service, DEA, IRS, Border Patrol, arsenals, ammunition plants, missile sites, and others in the 25 to 470 MHz range. Since the US government no longer offers frequency information for its own stations, and has never published sensitive frequencies, most of the information in Kneitel's book has been collected from listeners over the years. It is certainly not complete, nor 100% accurate, but is a good book for this difficult to obtain information. Tab Books Master Frequency File, first edition, written by James Tunnell and Robert Kelty, lists federal agencies and frequencies and deserves a read. However, there are no military listings and many pages are devoted to appendices and references which contain no frequency listings. The space would be much better used by a combined federal frequency list sorted by frequency. Magazines Although national in circulation, local frequency information is sometimes available in Grove's Monitoring Times and Kneitel's sensationalistic Popular Communications. Government Records Every year, the US Government sells FCC license information, in the form of microfiche, floppy disk, and magnetic tape, to the public through the US Department of Commerce National Technical Information Service (NTIS). These lists contain license information for the industrial (e.g. Illinois Armored Car, Pinkerton's Security, Joe's Towing, etc.), highway maintenance, commercial broadcast, aviation, common carrier, and maritime services, as well as for police and fire. For more info call NTIS at 703-487- 4630. Microfiche is not for the casual hobbyist, but rather for the ardent listener, who can easily spend a few hundred dollars for the fiche, not including the price of a microfiche reader. Back in "the good old days," Grove Enterprises sold copies of some FCC microfiche files, and this was much cheaper than buying directly from NTIS. Grove no longer sells microfiche, but sells information on CDROM for $100 instead. In the 1995 edition, fields are different than PerCon's Spectrum CDROM. The licensee name and licensee city are used instead of the DBA (doing business as) name and transmitter city which makes query results confusing. The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. 716-386-6015), a private company, to sell FCC license information to the public on both floppy disks and CDROMs. You can buy the full license information for a multi state region or a less detailed license database covering the the entire USA on CDROM for about $100. The new PerCon Spectrum CDROM sells for $29 and contains a handful of fields for every FCC license in the US. It works in DOS, Windows, and Mac environments. Companies have appeared which are "plugged into" the FCC licensing system and they sell computer time allowing on- line file access. They also sell paper copies of FCC information. Washington Radio Reports is one example. A monthly publication, it lists license applications made to the FCC. A few members of my scanner club subscribe and share the information with me. As I have already done for hundreds of radio enthusiasts and companies across the country, I will locate FCC licensed and selected FAA transmitter sites in an area of your choice, in any state, and produce a custom RadioMap(TM) report, including an 8-1/2" by 11" scaled color map, protected by plastic. The map is marked with transmitter sites, cities, highways, airports, military installations, national parks, etc. RadioMap allows you to identify antenna sites and visualize the transmitter locations in your neighborhood, near your office, and other places of interest -- from VLF through microwave. The report lists frequencies, callsigns, and licensee names. RadioMap covers police, fire, local government, TV, business, industry, common carrier, railroad, trucking, and many more types of transmitter sites, excluding ham radio stations. Wireline and nonwireline cellular phone and AM/FM broadcast transmitter sites are clearly marked using unique color icons. RadioMap has been very favorably reviewed in RCMA Scanner Journal, American Scannergram, and USSN. Industrial customers use RadioMap reports to survey the "radio environment" prior to installation of radios and wireless microphones at customer sites. RadioMap is also used to find sources intermod interference problems. The RadioMap processes and software are unique and proprietary. Unlike "more tame" maps, RadioMap shows the locations of military bases, ammunition plants, arsenals, weapons factories, and other military installations. For a flat fee, you choose the center location, and I choose the range, depending on transmitter site density: suburbs: 5 mile range (100 sq. mi. area) rural areas: 10 or more miles (400 sq. mi. area) dense urban area: 1 - 2 mile range Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing. A custom RadioMap report costs $20.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. Send $25.95 (check or money order payable to Bob Parnass) for each RadioMap report, your name, address, and telephone number, along with center location (nearest intersection of 2 streets, or latitude & longitude) to: Bob Parnass, 2350 Douglas Road, Oswego, IL 60543. tel. 708-554-3839 6-10 PM central time. For a brochure, send SASE. Federal Radio Stations - Not Licensed by FCC Since federal government radio stations are not licensed by the FCC, they are not listed in FCC microfiche. In 1981, a group of 60 radio hobbyists split a $1300 fee, and obtained 80 microfiche cards of 'sanitized' information about federal government radio stations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)1. Only 12 of the 21 information fields for each station were furnished. Fields like "Remarks", which indicate the exact usage of a channel (e.g. "Sky Marshall's Net"), and "Bureau", indicating agency subdivision (e.g. TAC within the USAF), were withheld. These 80 pages of microfiche were sold by Grove Enterprises for $25, but are no longer available from that source. Private entrepreneurs have been known to ask $125 or more for a set! In a step backward, the US Government insists it will no longer release this type of information - it is now 'classified'2. For a reason unknown to this author, the government released a 1984 vintage set of frequencies allocated to the FAA. Perhaps this was a mistake, because the information is marked 'unclassified', but all fields are furnished, including some which indicate security related usage. Grove sold this set of 33 microfiche cards for about $13. Two way radio equipment formerly used by the armed forces often appears for sale at hamfests. Less often, Secret Service and FBI radios appear there from time to time, too. When you see such equipment, look over the radio for a frequency label and write down the frequencies stamped on the crystals or channel elements. Make note of any service or property tags which specify the agency or military base which used the equipment. Radio Clubs One of the best parts of the hobby is sharing it with other radio buffs. Trading information with other hobbyists about frequencies, communication systems, and receiving equipment is more valuable than a pile of magazines. Since the early 1960s, I had been an amateur radio operator, and belonged to amateur radio clubs, but I never realized there were any scanner clubs! In 1983, I joined the world's largest scanner club, the Radio Communications Monitoring Association (RCMA). Founded in 1975, the RCMA is the "first national and international organization of monitor radio listeners." There are several regional chapters which hold regular meetings. Club dues are collected annually, which covers a monthly newsletter, the RCMA Scanner Journal, about 95 pages long. Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges, there is coverage of HF utility stations below 30 MHz. A recent liberalization of club policy now permits the printing of most federal law enforcement frequencies, e.g., Secret Service, FBI, Customs, and DEA. Inquiries about RCMA membership should be sent to: RCMA General Manager P.O. Box 542 Silverado, CA 92676 USA Another club which prints sensitive federal frequencies is the All Ohio Scanner Club. I enjoy its bimonthly publication, The American Scannergram, which is about 60 pages long. Although concentrating on Ohio, there is frequency information from other states, and plenty of product reviews and scanning tips. More information is available from: All Ohio Scanner Club 50 Villa Road Springfield, OH 45503 Do Your Own Sleuthing The real challenge is deriving new spectrum usage information. Sometimes it requires several days of listening, taping, and compiling fragments of information. Other times, the frequency information is there for the taking - without hassle. More about sleuthing will be discussed in Part II of this article. HOW DO YOU FIND THESE SCANNER FREQUENCIES? Part 2: Sleuthing by Bob Parnass, AJ9S Part I of this series discussed how scanner enthusiasts can obtain frequency information from books, government microfiche records, or other listeners. This installment discusses digging up new frequencies on your own. Do Your Own Sleuthing There is a challenge in deriving new spectrum usage information on your own. Sometimes it requires several days of listening, taping, and compiling fragments of information. Other times, the frequency information is there for the taking - without hassle. You can approach from two directions: 1. Listen first: Monitor a frequency or frequencies, and determine who's transmitting and what purpose the channel serves. Once you identify the user, log the information. 2. Compile first: Take advantage of opportunities, such as examining the frequency label on a guard's radio, or reading the FCC license hanging on the "radio room" wall, to compile frequency lists, then monitor the listed frequencies to confirm that they are really in use. Readers are urged to abide by the rules of good taste and local laws in the quest for frequency information. Don't trespass, wait for an invitation. Most listeners use a combination of both approaches. What Makes Station Identification Difficult? In most instances, FCC rules require radio users to identify their operations with FCC assigned call letters. Police and fire departments, especially those with trained radio dispatchers, seem particularly conscientious about station identification. Like commercial broadcasters, many of these stations identify on the hour and the half hour. Some repeater stations have Morse code identification circuits which transmit call letters on a periodic basis, insuring compliance with FCC rules. On the other hand, over 75% the industrial radio stations monitored within the last year ignore the FCC regulation, making it difficult for a listener to identify a station. Some stations may operate for years using the nondescriptive "base to mobile 2" or "Joe to base" protocol. One rung up the hierarchy are stations that identify using something like "Acme base to 107", giving the listener a clue for his log. If call letters are given, they are often rendered unintelligible by operators who fail to enunciate. The failure to identify is more likely due to sloppiness, rather than any attempt to hide station identity. While not regulated by the FCC, federal government radio stations vary in the extent to which they identify their transmissions. Some federal stations do not have call letters. A nearby paging transmitter periodically transmits a voice recording announcing, "This is the Army Joliet Ammunition Plant." What more could a listener ask for? Aside from a scanner and antenna, the most useful piece of equipment for sleuthing is a voice actuated (VOX) cassette tape recorder. You don't need a high fidelity model or anything fancy. I use two modified Radio Shack CTR-75 recorders, a discontinued model. VOX recorders allow one to compress a whole day's worth of monitoring onto a single tape. I often leave a recorder "armed" and connected to a scanner at home while I am at the office or doing something else. When call letters are mumbled, I can play and replay the tape until I hear and understand them. The following examples illustrate techniques I've used to derive new frequency information. Examine the FCC License on Premise I have found the actual FCC radio license, complete with frequency assignments, hanging on the walls of places like the Bell Labs security office and the guard shack at Waste Management's Greene Valley Landfill in Naperville. Examine the Labels on Radio Equipment Frequency information is engraved on labels on the back of many walkie-talkies, or inside the battery compartment, like in the Motorola HT220 model. Most pagers have labels on the bottom or inside. Like passwords taped onto terminals, it's not uncommon to find Dymo or P-Touch tape labels embossed with frequencies or call letters glued to the front of base stations. You can make your own opportunities for eyeing the equipment or take advantage of "open house" events. If information is displayed publicly, then a reasonable person could assume it's not government secret. - At the annual Glenview Naval Air Station open house, I examined a military manpack radio being used by dispensary paramedics. The radio's tuning dial was set at 34.15 MHz. - The Illinois Army National Guard displayed two armored personnel carriers at the local county fair, each equipped with VHF-FM and HF-SSB transceivers. In addition to a tuning control (VFO), the VHF-FM radio had a set of channel select pushbuttons, much like those in a car radio. I asked a guardsman a few questions about the radio, and he demonstrated the channel preset feature. A panel above the channel pushbuttons was labeled with the frequencies: 32.055, 34.45, 35.35, 40.55, and 40.60 MHz. - An Army National Guard UH1 helicopter was displayed at the Marseilles armory "open house". The public was permitted to climb aboard, and observe the instrumentation and radio gear. A channel plate on the instrument cluster listed over a dozen frequencies. Hobbyists are urged to exercise a modicum of restraint and good judgement. In New Jersey, a radio technician/hobbyist called to service a transmitter in a county building, noticed a new unattended repeater installation in the same room. Being curious about what frequency this repeater was on, he opened the access door to copy the frequencies from the radio's crystals. It turns out that this radio belonged to the US Secret Service, and opening the access door could have activated a "tamper alarm"! The tech was skating on thin ice. He had nobody's permission to tamper with that equipment. Another source of frequency information is as close as your nearest Radio Shack store. Some Radio Shack stores make a local frequency list available to assist their scanner customers. Be sure to ask. Stores located in shopping malls almost always know the mall security frequencies. I often check the frequencies programmed into the floor model scanners, too. Equipment to Determine Frequency Usage If you don't know the exact frequency, but have a general idea of the range (e.g. 150 - 152 MHz), use your scanner's "search" mode. Most programmable scanners afford the ability to search between two frequency limits set by the user. Some models, including the Radio Shack PRO-2035, ICOM R7000/R7100, Bearcat 2500XLT, and Bearcat 250, have the ability to automatically store active frequencies found during an unattended search operation. To find the frequency of a hotel communications system, one fellow installed his Bearcat 250 in his car and parked in the hotel lot, leaving the scanner in the "search and store" mode. He left the antenna disconnected so the scanner would only respond to a transmitter in the immediate vicinity. Test equipment can aid in the quest for new frequency information. I've used a spectrum analyzer connected to an outside antenna, and a frequency counter for close-in work. How Can I Determine To Whom I'm Listening? - An Example While scanning the industrial frequencies in the 150 MHz range, a van driver was overheard communicating with "base" while driving around my town. The stations involved never used FCC call signs -- this would have made life a lot easier for me, and legal for them! (one may use FCC license microfiche, described in Part I of this article, to identify stations using call letters.) Transmissions were short and infrequent, so it was decided to tape record all transmissions on this frequency for several days to determine the station's identity. During daylight hours, a modified Regency K500 scanner was left tuned to the target frequency, connected to a cheap tape recorder through a home built interface. Using a carrier operated relay, the tape interface supplied power to the recorder only during radio transmissions, so a day's worth of traffic could be compressed into a 45 minute tape. Each day, the tape was played back and notes on names, locations, and activities mentioned during the day's transmissions were taken. The van driver appeared to be making daily stops at a local bank and two shopping malls. A Walgreen's store seemed to be the only stop at one mall. A few times, "base" ordered the van "back to the Training Center." There were frequent references to "guests checking out", "dropping a guest off", and "instructor[s] missing a class". At times, "base" spoke with "security", who must have been using a walkie-talkie as his signals weren't strong enough to hear. Was this a hotel? Calls to the three local hotels revealed that none provides shuttle bus service to the shopping malls. A call to the Walgreen's, inquiring about bus service to the store, drew another blank. During my shopping trips, I began to pay closer attention to vans with antennas driving through the parking lots. I was leaving the mall one day, when a week's effort paid off. A maroon and white van, equipped with a VHF-Hi antenna, was dropping shoppers off at Walgreen's. A sign on the van's door read: XYZ Central Training Center (XYZ is a pseudonym for the actual licensee name.) Lisle, Illinois I watched the driver pick up a microphone, and listened to him on my portable scanner checking back with his "base". All the pieces fit: the "guests", the "classes", the "instructors". Mystery solved; I had been monitoring the customer training center for a large computer manufacturer. The training center has hotel rooms and dining facilities to accommodate students from out of state. As a convenience, shuttle van service is provided to local shopping malls. Summary Through books, government records, and radio clubs, scanner listeners can make use of frequency information compiled by others. Two-way radio users often fail to identify their transmissions properly, making it more difficult for listeners to know who they are monitoring. By examining radio equipment labeling, and monitoring and taping transmissions, scanner enthusiasts can unearth new information.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language defines hysteresis as the: o "Failure of a property changed by an external agent to return to its original value when the cause of the change is removed." It's like having play in a car's steering wheel, or backlash in a gear set. Too much hysteresis in a squelch circuit forces one to keep the squelch at a tighter setting, missing weaker signals when scanning or searching. The squelch hysteresis problem was first addressed in a 1984 article about the Radio Shack PRO-24 crystal controlled scanner. Why do engineers design these circuits with any hysteresis? Basically, hysteresis prevents weak signals from "popping" the squelch open and closed rapidly, which would be very annoying to the listener. A squelch circuit with hysteresis requires a stronger signal to open the squelch than it does to keep it open. Models cursed with too much hysteresis include the Uniden/Bearcat 800XLT and 760XLT, Radio Shack PRO-2003, PRO-2004, and others. Don't despair, the fix is simple for most radios. I've successfully reduced the squelch hysteresis by replacing a single resistor. Hysteresis is usually implemented by providing feedback from the squelch gate input to output, through a resistor. The higher the resistor value, the less feedback there is, and less hysteresis. My modification involves replacing the "stock" resistor with a higher value resistor, as identified in the table below. This article cannot provide step-by-step instructions for each radio. I always encourage radio hobbyists to purchase the service manuals for their equipment. The most useful sections of the manual are the schematics and printed circuit diagrams. Good manuals will also describe the theory of operation and alignment procedures, and contain a complete parts list. If your radio has too much hysteresis, and is not listed in the table, study the service manual. Motorola MC3357, MC3359, and MC3361 integrated circuits, which contain IF and squelch circuitry, are popular in scanners. In these receivers, look for the hysteresis resistor to be connected to these ICs. Notes 1. The author cannot furnish modification information for other radios. 2. Don't attempt this, or any other internal modification, unless you are skilled in electronic servicing. 3. Make sure your receiver is disconnected from any power source before opening the cabinet.

Introduction to Scanning by Bob Parnass, AJ9S [NOTES: This article may not be reproduced in whole or in part on CDROMS, in bulletin boards, networks, or publications which charge for service without permission of the author. Free distribution is encouraged.] This introduction is intended for people new to the scanning hobby and is oriented to scanning in the USA. It tells where you can buy your first scanner, what features it should have, where to get it repaired if required, how to get frequency information, and mentions a few scanner clubs worth joining. The author writes a monthly "Scanner Equipment" column for Monitoring Times magazine, published by Grove Enterprises, but views expressed in this article are his own. Why Scanning? Every day and night, scanner hobbyists are entertained by what they overhear on their radios. Police cars, fire engines, ambulances, airplanes, armored cars, trains, taxis, and buses are all equipped with radios and you can listen to them. You can monitor the local sheriff and fire departments to hear about events "as they happen," before the news reporters hear about them. Hostage dramas, bank robberies, car crashes, chemical spills, neighbor and domestic disputes, tornado sightings are all fair game. In a single afternoon, you can hear a high speed police chase, Drug Enforcement agents on a sting operation, and undercover FBI agents as they stakeout a suspect. How about listening to a presidential candidate discuss strategy with his advisor from a 415 MHz radiophone in Air Force 1, or a team of G-men protect him while transmitting in the 167 MHz range? Baby monitor intercoms are actually transmitters and you can hear them between 49.67 and 49.99 MHz. Stay ahead of road conditions by listening to highway road crews, snow plows, and traffic helicopter pilots. Many midwesterners monitor the state police and and county sheriff to learn of approaching tornados long before warnings are broadcast on TV and commercial radio. Take your scanner to sporting events and listen to race car drivers, football coaches, etc., in the 151, 154, and 468 MHz ranges. Monitor the everyday hustle and bustle of businesses, from cable TV repair crews tracking down pirate descrambler boxes, to security guards at your nuclear power plant or mall security guards chasing a shoplifter. Is Scanning Legal? In the United States, scanning from your home or at work is perfectly legal in most situations. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 made it illegal to listen to mobile phones, common carrier paging, and a few other types of communication. A new law outlaws listening to cordless phones, too, but many scanners cover these frequencies, and it's clear that Americans still listen to whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes despite the laws. It is now illegal for companies to sell recently manufactured scanners which cover or can be easily modified to cover the cellular phone frequencies, but sales by private individuals will still be allowed. Speaking of privacy, federal law also requires you to keep what you hear to yourself and not use the information you hear on your scanner for personal gain. Be aware that several states have laws pertaining to scanning while in your car. Indiana restricts some portable scanners. A few states have enacted their own laws against listening to cordless phones. You can find out about these restrictions in a paperback book, Listeners Lawbook, compiled by Frank Terranella, Esq. available for $9.95 + shipping from Grove Enterprises, PO Box 98, Brasstown, NC 28902. What Scanner Should I Buy? Radio Shack and Uniden (maker of Bearcat, Regency, and Cobra brands) offer a wide choice of scanners. Radio Shack scanners are actually manufactured by both GRE (General Research Electronics) and by Uniden. Personally, I don't recommend Trident nor many of the AOR brand scanners, although the AR8000 and AR3000 have good reputations. Programmable (synthesized) units have replaced crystal controlled models as they don't require crystals and usually have a keypad that permits you to store frequencies into channels. Programmables are now so cheap it doesn't make sense to buy a crystal unit as your main scanner unless you get it for under $45 or so. You can get a battery operated hand held scanner, a bigger "base" scanner which is powered from an AC outlet, or a mobile scanner which connects to your auto's electrical system. There are tradeoffs -- base and mobile scanners have larger displays and almost always provide more audio than portables, and some portables are more prone to interference when connected to outdoor antennas than base models. But when severe weather knocks out the power in your home, there's nothing like having a battery operated scanner to monitor the power utility and police frequencies! Make sure your first scanner: 1. has a "search" feature, which allows it to search all the frequencies between two frequency limits of your choosing. The lowest cost programmables can't search. 2. covers the 800 MHz band. Usage of the 800 - 950 MHz band is growing fast and you will miss out on the action unless your scanner covers this band. If you're not sure whether you'll like scanning, don't want to spend much money, a 40 channel radio will do. In general, the more channels and banks, the better. Most of the action takes place on frequencies between 30 and 1000 MHz, so don't be misled by scanner models boasting coverage from 3 to 2000 MHz. There's currently not much to monitor in the 1000 - 2000 MHz range. If you are interested in receiving short wave, that is, signals in the 3 - 30 MHz range, it's best to get a short wave radio specifically designed for that purpose. Although some scanners receive the short wave band, their performance in that range is often poor. Deluxe scanners can be controlled by a personal computer, although this feature isn't important to many scanner owners. Almost all low and mid-priced scanners are prone to receiving images -- receiving the same signal erroneously on two or more frequencies. With a few exceptions, images are unwelcome due to the interference they cause, e.g., hearing aircraft transmissions while the scanner is tuned to the local police frequency. Premium quality scanners use "up conversion" circuitry, a scheme which greatly reduces, but does not eliminate, image reception. Currently, the more popular scanners include the Uniden/Bearcat BC760XLT (a/k/a 950XLT) and discontinued Radio Shack PRO-2006 base/mobiles, the Uniden/Bearcat BC200XLT (a/k/a BC205XLT), BC220XLT, and Radio Shack PRO-43 portables. A number of owners report problems with the Icom R1 portable and the older Uniden/Bearcat 8500XLT base and 2500XLT portable. The new Uniden replacement models, the BC9000XLT and BC3000XLT, work very well and are my current favorites. Considered by many as the best scanner ever made, the 400 channel Radio Shack PRO-2006 has recently been replaced by the 1000 channel PRO-2035. The portable Radio Shack PRO-62 and PRO-60 are good performers. All four models employ up conversion and are made for Radio Shack by GRE (General Research Electronics). Scanner Antennas All scanners come with a built in antenna, permitting reception up to about 20 miles or so. Portable scanners are supplied with a helical (spring shaped) antenna, covered by rubber. The rubberized | antennas furnished with current models are too stiff and | place stress on the antenna jack. Older scanners to be | supplied with more flexible antennas. I prefer to replace | the stock antenna with an Icom FA-1433B dual band flex | antenna which is thin and very flexible while providing | better performance than a stock antenna. | Although it is small and somewhat tolerant of physical | abuse, the range of a heliflex antenna is very limited. Augmenting it with a 19" telescoping metal antenna can improve portable reception greatly. Since 1988, I've used the "Thin-Stick" 18 inch telescoping antenna for extended range on my portable scanners and 2 meter walkie-talkies. The Thin-Stick, made in USA by Smiley Antenna Co., Inc., is designed to cover both the 2 meter and 220 MHz bands, but its variable length means it can be adjusted for optimum performance on other bands. What makes the Thin-Stick different from an ordinary telescoping antenna is the spring between the antenna and | the connector portions. The spring absorbs most of the | impact if the antenna collides with an object. The street price is about $17 and it is available from Amateur Electronic Supply, Milwaukee and other retailers. Outdoor antennas, like the Channel Master 5094A or Antenna Specialists AV-801 (recently discontinued), can extend reliable reception to 100 miles or more. If you do use an outdoor antenna, be sure to disconnect and ground it during storms and when not in use to avoid a lightning hazard. Discone and ground plane type antennas can be more prone to cause scanner damage due to static charge buildup because they are not at "DC ground." Coaxial Cable Feedlines If your antenna installation requires more than 50 feet of feedline, use RG213/U or high quality RG8/U coaxial cable. RG213/U has a non-contaminating jacket and will last longer. Each has an outer diameter of about 13/32". Similarly sized Belden 9913 cable and clones have lower attenuation but are difficult to bend, require special connectors, and can accumulate moisture inside because they are hollow. If you must use a small diameter cable for long runs, use RG6/U. Avoid RG58/U (7/32" OD) due to its losses at high frequencies. RG8/X (1/4" OD) is suitable for short patch cords. Where Can I Buy A Scanner? Almost every community has at least one Radio Shack store, and you can find scanners there. Discount chain stores like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Service Merchandise, and Circuit City sell scanners, but carry just a few models. Department stores, like Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards, sometimes offer low end scanners, although at high prices. The best buys on new scanners are from reputable mail order radio dealers, for example: - Grove Enterprises, 300 S. Highway 64 West, Brasstown, NC 28902. For a free catalog, call (704)837-9200. Telephone (orders only): (800)438-8155. - National Tower Company, PO Box 15417, Shawnee Mission, KS 66215. Telephone (913)888-8864. - The Ham Station, 220 N. Fulton Ave., Evansville, IN 47719-0522. Telephone (800)729-4373, (812)422-0231. - Scanner World (Albany, NY). Telephone (518)436-9606. - Amateur Electronics Supply (Milwaukee, WI). Telephone (800)558-0411. Beware of inflated "shipping and handling" charges and be sure to include these when comparison shopping. Used scanners may be found at hamfests, flea markets, garage sales, or listed in the classified advertisement section of your newspaper. Modifying Your Scanner The term "mod" is often used as shorthand for "modification." If you are handy with a soldering iron, you may be interested in modifying ("modding") your scanner to add features or enhance its performance. Be warned this usually voids your warranty and current models are difficult to service due to the small, delicate surface mount components. By federal regulation, new scanner models cannot be easily modified to tune the cellular phone bands. The term "mod" has been narrowly used by some people to mean a change which permits a scanner to receive cellular phone frequencies. This definition is far too restrictive as there are several ways one could modify a scanner, e.g., changes to improve audio quality, adding an S-meter, expanding the number of channels, changing the earphone jack to accept stereo headphones, etc. Modification article files can be copied from several ftp sites including the /pub/ham-radio/mods directory at: ftp.cs.buffalo.edu garfield.catt.ncsu.edu oak.oakland.edu (IP address 141.210.10.117) KD4MOJ maintains a scanner modification server for people without FTP access. You can request a list of scanner modifications by sending electronic mail with the words GET INDEX.TXT to FTPmail@exchange.tlh.fl.us If you cannot find files describing modifications to a particular scanner, it's probably because nobody bothered to devise a modification, or more likely, nobody has taken the time to document their modification. Modification articles posted on Usenet seem to have a life of their own. Frequently, they are plagiarized from the Internet and compiled by book, CDROM, and magazine publishers, sometimes reworded, then sold. Hobbyists then copy the modifications from the books, CDROMs, and magazines back onto the Internet or BBSs (bulletin board systems)! Grove Enterprises and other companies advertise a modification for fee service. Scanner Repair Shops Is your scanner broken? Aside from sending the scanner back to the manufacturer for repair, here are least two companies which repair scanners: 1. Electronic Repair Centers (telephone 708-455-5105) - Several people have been pleased with good repair service from Electronic Repair Centers in Franklin Park, Illinois. Although they are not authorized to perform warranty work, this outfit has been repairing Bearcat scanners for several years. They charge a flat rate of fixing scanners, and shipping is extra. Electronic Repair Centers will fix Regency scanners if they can obtain the parts. 2. G & G Communications (telephone 716-768-8151) - This family owned company repairs scanners and pagers and stocks parts for several older models. G & G cannot usually repair AOR scanners due to lack of manufacturer support. G & G sells and sometimes buys old scanners and parts, too. They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482. Where Can I Obtain Frequency Information? To avoid chaos, the FCC licenses two-way radio users and assigns them specific frequencies. Groups of frequencies are allocated to specific types of users, so you won't usually find fire departments using the same frequencies as taxi drivers, for example. Scanner enthusiasts can obtain frequency information from several sources, including books, government microfiche records, or other listeners. Books: The most convenient source of fire, police, and local government frequencies is Gene Hughes' Police Call Radio Guide, published each year in 9 regional volumes by Hollins Radio Data, and sold at Radio Shack and larger book stores. I also recommend the book, Monitor America, published by SMB Publishing (now known as Scanner Master Publishing), and available from Grove Enterprises for about $30. A new 3rd edition is expected in early 1995. Monitor America contains several pages of police, fire, local government, news media, sports, federal government, and commercial broadcast frequencies for all 50 states. It contains detailed communications system profiles and precinct maps for major metropolitan areas. Police and fire radio codes and unit identifiers unique to local agencies are listed for several cities. This differs from Police Call, which gives a more sterile, but uniform treatment of licensees, listing even the smallest of towns. Uniden has published several regional directories using the "Betty Bearcat" name, although there are much better directories available from Scanner Master (Newton Highlands, MA, tel. (508)655-6300) for some regions. The most readily available source of sensitive US government frequencies is still Tom Kneitel's Top Secret Registry of US Government Radio Frequencies. Published by CRB Research, the 8th edition is available from Grove Enterprises for about $22. Kneitel's book contains frequency listings for NASA, military, FBI, Secret Service, DEA, IRS, Border Patrol, arsenals, ammunition plants, missile sites, and others in the 25 to 470 MHz range. Tab Books Master Frequency File, first edition, written by James Tunnell and Robert Kelty, lists federal agencies and frequencies and deserves a read. However, there are no military listings and many pages are devoted to appendices and references which contain no frequency listings. The space would be much better used by a combined federal frequency list sorted by frequency. Commercial Magazines: Although national in circulation, local frequency information is sometimes available in Grove's Monitoring Times (tel. 704-837-9200) and Kneitel's sensationalistic Popular Communications, (tel. 516-681- 2922). National Scanning Report is a national scanner magazine published bimonthly and is affiliated with Uniden's Bearcat Radio Club. It may disappoint experienced scanner hobbyists and is better suited for beginners. The best scanner frequency lists are often found in club publications, not commercial magazines, and are discussed later. Government Records: Every year, the US Government sells FCC license information, in the form of microfiche, floppy disk, and magnetic tape, to the public through the US Department of Commerce National Technical Information Service (NTIS). The high cost of buying government records limits their appeal to hardcore enthusiasts. You can write for a catalog of FCC Master Frequency Database items to the NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161. The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. 716-386-6015), a private company, to sell FCC license information to the public on CDROMs. You can buy the full license information for a multi state region or a less detailed license database covering the the entire USA on CDROM for about $100. The PerCon Spectrum CDROM sells for $29 and contains a handful of fields for every FCC license in the US. The Spring 1995 edition works in DOS, Windows, and Mac environments. Grove enterprises sells FCC license information on CDROM for $100. In the 1995 edition, fields are different than PerCon's Spectrum CDROM but the data appears to be of the same vintage. The licensee name and licensee city are used instead of the DBA (doing business as) name and transmitter city which makes query results confusing. As I have already done for hundreds of radio enthusiasts and companies across the country, I will locate FCC licensed and selected FAA transmitter sites in an area of your choice, in any state, and produce a custom RadioMap(TM) report, including an 8-1/2" by 11" scaled color map, protected by plastic. The map is marked with transmitter sites, cities, highways, airports, military installations, national parks, etc. RadioMap allows you to identify antenna sites and visualize the transmitter locations in your neighborhood, near your office, and other places of interest -- from VLF through microwave. The report lists frequencies, callsigns, and licensee names. RadioMap covers police, fire, local government, TV, business, industry, common carrier, railroad, trucking, and many more types of transmitter sites, excluding ham radio stations. Wireline and nonwireline cellular phone and AM/FM broadcast transmitter sites are clearly marked using unique color icons. RadioMap has been very favorably reviewed in RCMA Scanner Journal, American Scannergram, and USSN. Industrial customers use RadioMap reports to survey the "radio environment" prior to installation of radios and wireless microphones at customer sites. RadioMap is also used to find sources intermod interference problems. The RadioMap processes and software are unique and proprietary. Unlike "more tame" maps, RadioMap shows the locations of military bases, ammunition plants, arsenals, weapons factories, and other military installations. For a flat fee, you choose the center location, and I choose the range, depending on transmitter site density: suburbs: 5 mile range (100 sq. mi. area) rural areas: 10 or more miles (400 sq. mi. area) dense urban area: 1 - 2 mile range Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing. A custom RadioMap report costs $20.95 plus $5.00 shipping and handling. Send $25.95 (check or money order payable to Bob Parnass) for each RadioMap report, your name, address, and telephone number, along with center location (nearest intersection of 2 streets, or latitude & longitude) to: Bob Parnass, 2350 Douglas Road, Oswego, IL 60543. tel. 708-554-3839 6-10 PM central time. For a brochure, send SASE. Do Your Own Frequency Detective Work When you try listening to a frequency for the first time, you'll want to know who you're hearing. Although FCC rules require radio systems to identify their operations with their assigned call letters either automatically or verbally, most ignore the regulation. This often makes it difficult to know who is transmitting. Moreover, many radios are now being placed in service illegally, without first obtaining the required FCC license. There is a challenge in deriving new spectrum usage information on your own. Sometimes it requires several days of listening, taping, and compiling fragments of information. Other times, the frequency information is there for the taking - without hassle. You can approach from two directions: 1. Listen first: Monitor a frequency or frequencies, and try to determine who's transmitting and what purpose the channel serves. Once you identify the user, log the information. 2. Compile first: Take advantage of opportunities, such as examining the frequency label on a guard's radio, or reading the FCC license hanging on the "radio room" wall, to compile frequency lists, then monitor the listed frequencies to confirm that they are really in use. Readers are urged to abide by the rules of good taste and local laws in the quest for frequency information. Don't trespass, wait for an invitation. Most listeners use a combination of both approaches. You can examine the FCC license on premise. I have found the actual FCC radio license, complete with frequency assignments, hanging on the walls of places like the mall security office or company guard shack. You can examine the labels on radio equipment. Frequency information is engraved on labels on the back of many walkie-talkies, or inside the battery compartment, like in the Motorola HT220 model. Most pagers have labels on the bottom or inside. Like passwords taped onto terminals, it's not uncommon to find labels embossed with frequencies or call letters glued to the front of base stations. You can make your own opportunities for eyeing the equipment or take advantage of "open house" events. If information is displayed publicly, then a reasonable person could assume it's not government secret. Hobbyists are urged to exercise a modicum of restraint and good judgement, however. How Can I Use Equipment to Uncover New Frequencies? If you don't know the exact frequency, but have a general idea of the range (e.g. 150 - 152 MHz), use your scanner's "search" mode. Most programmable scanners afford the ability to search between two frequency limits set by the user. A few models, like the ICOM R7000/R7100, and R1, and older Bearcat 250 and Regency K500, have the ability to automatically store active frequencies found during an unattended search operation. To find the frequency of a hotel communications system, one fellow installed his Bearcat 250 in his car and parked in the hotel lot, leaving the scanner in the "search and store" mode. He left the antenna disconnected so the scanner would only respond to a transmitter in the immediate vicinity. Aside from a scanner and antenna, the most useful piece of equipment for sleuthing is a voice actuated (VOX) cassette tape recorder. You don't need a high fidelity model or anything fancy, a Radio Shack CTR-82 will do. It's best to use a shielded, attenuating cable to feed the scanner audio into the recorder rather than relying on the recorder's internal microphone. VOX recorders allow one to compress a whole day's worth of monitoring onto a single tape. I often leave a recorder "armed" and connected to a scanner at home while I am at the office or doing something else. When call letters are mumbled, I can play and replay the tape until I hear and understand them. Test equipment can aid in the quest for new frequency information. I've used a spectrum analyzer connected to an outside antenna, and a frequency counter for close-in work. Are There Any Scanner Clubs? One of the best parts of the hobby is sharing it with other radio buffs. Trading information with other hobbyists about frequencies, communication systems, and receiving equipment is more valuable than any pile of magazines. The world's largest scanner club is the Radio Communications Monitoring Association (RCMA). Founded in 1975, the RCMA is the "first national and international organization of monitor radio listeners." There are several regional chapters which hold regular meetings. Club dues are $24.00 per year, which includes the monthly RCMA Journal, which consists of approximately 95 pages. Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges, there is coverage of HF utility stations below 30 MHz. Inquiries about RCMA membership should be sent to RCMA General Manager, P.O. Box 542, Silverado, CA 92676, USA. All Ohio Scanner Club A smaller club is the All Ohio Scanner Club. Its bimonthly publication, The American Scannergram, is about 60 pages long. Although concentrating on Ohio and the Northeastern states, there is frequency information from other states, and plenty of good product reviews and scanning tips. Annual dues are $18.50 and more information is available from: Dave Marshall, Managing Editor All Ohio Scanner Club, 50 Villa Road, Springfield, OH 45503. Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association The Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association (CARMA) is the foremost club for scanner radio hobbyists in the northern Illinois area. CARMA was formed from the Chicago chapter of the Radio Communications Monitoring Association (RCMA), and we have been meeting since the early 1980s. Many CARMA members are active in ham radio and GMRS, but the club is devoted to scanning and scanners. Meetings are held on Saturdays, many at area restaurants, about 6 times a year. Although lunch starts at noon, the meetings begin officially at 1 PM and often run until about 4 PM. You must purchase a lunch since we get the room for free. Meetings consist of a quick review of club business, sometimes a special presentation, and a "round table" discussion/question & answer session. Large quantities of information and frequency lists are often distributed in the form of free handouts. Members often sell radio equipment at the meetings, too. In addition to regular meetings, there are two CARMA picnic/field days during which members meet at a park, erect antennas, eat, and operate scanners from battery power. CARMA members take organized tours of various communications facilities in the area. Club meeting dates and times are published in the CARMA newsletter, published 6 times a year. A one year subscription is available by mailing a $15 check, payable to Kim Moran, to: CARMA P.O. Box 2681 Glenview, IL 60025 Some CARMA members participate on the CARMA computer bulletin board, run by Will Sperling. There is a $15 annual fee for the BBS. If you have a modem and terminal or computer, you can reach the CARMA BBS by calling (708)852-1292. Here is a tentative meeting schedule for 1995. All meetings will be held on Saturdays at locations announced in advance. February 18, 1995 - Westmont Police Dept.

The reference to "the default steps" refers to the increment used when searching a band. When you program a specific channel for scanning, the logic should allow a similar precision. Your's obviously doesn't. In the U.S., the special allocations in the 470-512 MHz band are at 25 kHz intervals on the odd 12.5 kHz points, e.g. .x125, .x375, .x625 & .x875. It looks like your radio used the even points in 450-470 and just carried them on through 512 (actually, all 12.5 kHz points are available below 470 MHz and should be programmable). In any case, a discrepancy of 2.5 kHz shouldn't hurt your reception. /* barry /& From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:22 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!info.ucla.edu!library.ucla.edu!psgrain!rainrgnews0!PolarNet!not-for-mail From: clangfrd@polarnet.fnsb.ak.us (Carl Langford) Subject: Ocean City Maryland Scanner Freqs wanted, Please Message-ID: <81f7cb$82b2b.21c@PolarNet> Date: Thu, 31 Aug 1995 17:43:43 GMT Organization: PolarNet X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.93.11 MIME-Version: 1.0 Lines: 8 Hello all, I will be going to stay in OC for about a week, and would like the scanner freqs in the area.

Actually it plugs into your receiver / scanner. I know what you mean about the volume sensitivity. A perfect solution which worked for me was to use the tape out jack on my 2006.

It's true. The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the portable PRO-62. Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images. Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

Well, this is about the most useless post I have read in quite a while. About all I can glean from it is that a modification is possible, and (apparently) it expands reception of the cellular frequencies. Jim, please tell us: * What happens after the mod is done, what new functionality is gained, whether any capabilities are lost as a trade off, etc. * Name and publisher of the book containing the instructions. I assume you bought such a book and used it as a guide to modify yours. There are obviously a lot of those books out there, some more useful than others. * Whether the book mentions early and late production, i.e. can all versions of the model be modified by the same procedure. If there are differences, how to determine that the one you have is a modifiable version (before buying the book). * Clarification of the procedure: you say the book's procedure is not very detailed and to "be careful." Knowing exactly *what* to be careful of and obtaining clarification from someone who has done it successfully would be useful. I can understand you not wanting to quote verbatim out of a book as this may be copyrighted. However your post doesn't leave us any more informed than we were before. -Mike KD4QDM From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:37 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.clark.net!rahul.net!a2i!bug.rahul.net!a2i!infoseek.com!uunet!in1.uu.net!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!tank.news.pipex.net!pipex!howland.reston.ans.net!math.ohio-state.edu!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!lerc.nasa.gov!purdue!haven.umd.edu!hecate.umd.edu!not-for-mail From: sreider@hamlet.umd.edu (Susan) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Pro34 Empty case forsale Date: 30 Aug 1995 10:27:39 -0400 Organization: University of Maryland, College Park Lines: 7 Distribution: usa Message-ID: <421sgr$loa@hamlet.umd.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: hamlet.umd.edu I have a Pro34 case forsale front,back,battery cover $5 OBO Its alittle dinged up, but no cracks or breaks mail me.

The so-called electronic privacy act, which was partly motivatd to eep cellular phones UNscrambled for the benefit of the techno-luddites in the goverment, actualy violates treaties our nation has signed which establish the airwaves as a public resource. It is indeed legal to listen all you want. Part of the now banned cellular frequencies includes gap between the channels for base use and the channles for mobile cellular use. It is hardly surprising that Los Angeles has placed it's nwest police band right into that gap (which is where I'l be monitoring hen the O.J.

REPAIR TIPS: BEARCAT SCANNER RADIOS Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole or in part on CDROMS, in bulletin boards, networks, or publications which charge for service without permission of the author. Free distribution is encouraged.] Introduction The original Bearcat scanner line was manufactured by Electra Company, a division of Masco Corp of Indiana. In the mid 1980s, Uniden, a Japanese company, bought out the Bearcat scanner line and Uniden's first Bearcat scanner was the BC800XLT model. Most of the models discussed in this article are base/mobile units made by Electra during the 1970s and 1980s although some of the capacitor failures occur in the Uniden BC800XLT, too. Electra stamped all of its scanners with a manufacturing date code on the rear of the cabinet. The code is comprised of a single character (C = Cumberland, Indiana, P = Puerto Rico), followed by four digits denoting year and week the radio was built. For example, "P8422" denotes the radio was made in the Puerto Rico factory during the 22nd week of 1984. Schematics and Parts Available Some schematic diagrams may be obtained from Uniden/Bearcat's parts department, (800)297-1023 or (317)842-2483. Uniden currently charges a flat rate of $54 for scanner repairs. They will repair and return "out of warranty" items without an estimate unless the repair charges exceed the flat rate charges. The phone number for repair is (800)297-1023. If Uniden doesn't have a schematic, try obtaining a Photophacts from Howard Sams Publishing division of Prentice-Hall at (800)428-7267. G & G Communications (telephone (716)768-8151) is a family owned company which repairs scanners and stocks parts for several older models, especially Electra/Bearcat and Regency brands, but they don't sell manuals or schematics. They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482. Electronic Repair Centers in Franklin Park, Illinois (telephone 708-455-5105) has been repairing Bearcat scanners for several years. They charge a flat $45 repair rate for programmable and $30 for crystal scanners, and shipping is extra. Electronic Repair Centers will fix Regency scanners if they can obtain the parts. Common Construction Most of the classic, metal-cased Bearcat base/mobile models were built using two printed circuit boards: 1. a "radio board" containing the synthesizer, RF, IF, and audio stages, and 2. a "feature board" containing the microprocessor controller and memory circuitry which gave each model its own personality. Athough there are various vintage radios boards, they all have similar circuitry. Bad Solder Joints Common Before addressing specific symptoms, circuit boards in the malfunctioning scanner should be inspected for poor solder joints. The Electra/Bearcat BC350, BC300, BC250, BC220, BC20/20, BC211, BC210, and BC210XL models were hand assembled, and every one I've serviced had several connections that were either soldered poorly, or not soldered at all. Resoldering joints on the ribbon cable connecting the RF and keyboard logic circuit boards in a BC250 attenuated the microprocessor/synthesizer hash noise noticeably. A Bearcat 20/20 was experiencing periodic loss of memory on some, but not all channels. When the problem occurred, the frequencies on some channels would be completely changed. On other channels, the frequency would still be intact, but the channel would be locked out, and the delay toggled from "on" to "off". Some channels were not affected. The 2 "AA" memory backup batteries, and their holder, tested good. Much time was spent tracing logic, heating and cooling components, and making voltage measurements. One of the secondary leads from the power transformer was connected to the main circuit board through a hole drilled through foil traces on both the top and bottom sides of the board. A close examination revealed that this lead had been soldered only on the top of the board - the bottom side had never been soldered. Soldering the lead on both sides of the board solved the memory loss problem. Symptom: Blank Display The BC300 scanner, and several other Bearcat models, employ a switching type power supply stage to generate plus and minus voltages in excess of 20 volts DC. When this switcher fails to function, the display goes blank, but the squelch control appears to work, and white noise can be heard in the speaker. In almost a dozen of the BC300 and BC800XLT scanners I've fixed, C98, a capacitor in series with the primary of the switching transformer failed, causing the output of the supply to drop below the level needed to power the display. The switching transformer is mounted on the RF circuit board, and is much, much smaller than the main power transformer, which is usually fastened to the metal chassis. The 22uF/16V capacitor used for C98 in early BC300s was marginal, and was replaced with a 47uF/25V capacitor in later units. I replaced the 22 uF capacitor in the switching power supply stage of a BC210XL which caused the same symptom. Other capacitors in the switcher stage have failed. C114, a 4.7 uF/35V tantalum capacitor failed in at least one BC250, causing the display to blank. A more sinister problem affects the switcher in earlier models. The switching supply stage in the BC250 and original BC210 is driven by a clock signal derived from a custom Exar NC57902 divider integrated circuit (designated IC6 in the BC250 scanner). I've seen this divider IC fail in several BC250s, causing a blank display (except for a decimal point in the BC250's rightmost digit). This custom IC is no longer available from Uniden. Symptom: Invalid Frequency Displayed A common Bearcat 250 malady is manifested by an invalid frequency displayed on the readout. This condition is temporarily "cured" by unplugging the AC line cord from the wall, then replugging it. This condition is symptomatic of a power supply problem in which Q204, a Texas Instruments TIP-29 located on the feature circuit board, fails. A Philips ECG291 will work as a substitute for the TIP-29. Don't try a Radio Shack substitute, it hasn't worked. See Martin Toomajian's article, "Bearcat 250 Erratic Display Cure", in January 1987 Monitoring Times. A similar problem in the Bearcat 20/20 was discussed previously in the section on bad solder joints. Symptom: Squelch Won't Eliminate White Noise Most Uniden/Bearcat base/mobile scanners feature an AUTO squelch position, actuated by rotating the squelch knob fully counter clockwise. The BC350 used a separate pushbutton switch for this purpose. These scanners use a flimsy potentiometer (designated R81 in BC300s) internally mounted on the RF circuit board, to set the level of signal required to open the squelch when in the AUTO position. This pot also has an effect on the squelch action in the non-AUTO mode, and determines at which point the squelch knob must be positioned in order to silence the radio. Although the potentiometer is adjusted at the factory, changes in component values due to aging often necessitate readjustment of this internal pot. Misadjustment of this pot has been the cause of "no squelch" complaints in two BC300s and a BC250 I fixed. Another squelch failure is due to a blown transistor that acts as the electronic switch in the squelch circuit. I replaced this transistor in only one BC300, so I don't know if this is a common problem. Symptom: Scanner Completely Dead In Bearcat scanners using an internal power supply (e.g., BC350, BC250, etc.), the main power transformer is connected directly to the AC line. Since the on/off switch is on the secondary side of the transformer, current flows in the primary as long as the AC line cord is plugged into an active AC outlet. These transformers contain an internal circuit breaker, not visible without unwinding (destroying) the transformer. The internal breaker is known to fail prematurely in a batch of Bearcat power transformers. If your scanner is completely dead, check the primary of this transformer for an open circuit condition. Symptom: Keyboard Bounce After much use, the Chromerics keyboards in Bearcat scanners start to wear out. The first sign of trouble is usually keyboard bounce on the most frequently used key, e.g., the MANUAL key. Replacement keyboards are usually available from UNIDEN, but replacement requires dexterity, as one must take care not to tear the flat, flexible strip connecting the keyboard to the logic board. Symptom: Keyboard Completely Unresponsive The keyboard matrix is "scanned" by the microprocessor. Another problem is when none of the keys seems to function; the receiver just keeps scanning in spite of key depressions. I found this condition in a BC210XL scanner owned by a heavy smoker. Perhaps nicotine smoke was to blame, as the resistance between two input port pins on the microprocessor was down to about 1000 ohms, fooling the microprocessor into believing that a key was stuck in the "down" position. Scraping the circuit board between the two pins with an X-Acto knife fixed the problem. Other Problems Complaints of low audio output and occasional microphonics in three Uniden/Bearcat 800XLTs were caused by a bad 47 ufd electrolytic capacitor in series between the external speaker jack and audio amplifier. -- ============================================================================== Copyright 1995, Bob Parnass, AJ9S parnass@att.com Locate transmitter sites with RadioMap(tm) From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:43 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news.unicomp.net!usenet From: jdeloach@unicomp.net Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: RS PROxxxx what do they all mean Date: 29 Aug 1995 23:28:19 GMT Organization: UniComp Technologies International Corp -- Internet Service Lines: 28 Message-ID: <4207qj$pnr@news.unicomp.net> References: <41v9jc$4va@piper.Pwc-Tpc.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: unicomp3.unicomp.net X-Newsreader: SPRY News 3.03 (SPRY, Inc.) > nand@piper.pwc-tpc.ca (Nand Bharadwaj) writes: > Being new to the world scanners and scanning, I am wondering if there is > a FAQ on Radio Shack's bewildering array of scanners.

The AC power supply died on the previous owner, so the transformer has been removed and it needs 12v dc to run. I include a 2amp wall wart to power it. (they have a tendancy to run hot with the internal supply anyway, so maybe it is good riddance) The front panel is a little faded and I think the lcd panel is not as bright as it was when new. I bought this thing at a hamfest and I think the guy who owned it was a trucker and ran it in his truck. At any rate, it works perfectly, I have the box, manual and antenna for it. The 2004, 2005 and 2006 are probably the best scanners ever made. I gotta have $225 plus shipping. Regency MX5000, 20 channel, 25 to 550Mhz continuous coverage. This was one of the first continous coverage scanners on the market. It is small, light and works great. Of course it needs more channels and should scan faster, but what the heck, it is pretty. I bought it here on the net for $150 plus shipping in a fit of nostalgia. I have the original box, bracket, manual, and it is really in like new condition. I'd like to sell it for $125 plus shipping. Uniden SC150B, ScanCat 100 channel handheld scanner. This is a current model, scans like crazy, lots of features, etc. I bought this at a pawn shop in Bismarck ND and didn't get the power supply or manual, but have found the power supply at another store, so what you get is the scanner and power supply, but no manual. It is in very good shape, almost like new, no scratches or dings anywhere. The B in the model name means it is the black one, not the yellow one. I want $125 plus shipping for it. Send email if interested. I'm looking for an AOR DC to Blue light scanner or an HF rig, if you want to trade. I also have a Shinwa SR001 25Mhz to 1000Mhz continuous scanner with manual and remote, that is the prettiest and most feature filled scanner I've ever used. It has things the no one else has ever put on any scanner, ever. I think I found the last remote in the US for it. It is in very good condition, new backup battery, new panel lamps, new remote. It retailed for about $800 new, I saw them for about $600 at one time. It is a small, mobil sized rig, but has tons of audio and if anyone is interested, I'll tell you all the great features. I'll take offers on the SR001, but I'll warn you, it is not cheap, it is a rare bird with lots of goodies. Two things as "ferinstances": You can select either of two different antennas for each memory, it has two antenna jacks, and you can program, for each memory, either carrier, audio or timed resume, with a 0 to 19 second delay. Cool, huh? Email if interested, make an offer. ******************************* * Joe Gregg * * Ham Radio Callsign: KN0A * * Horace, ND USA * ******************************* From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:51 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!torn!nott!cunews!freenet.carleton.ca!FreeNet.Carleton.CA!ad178 From: ad178@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Thomas W.

This model (the ONLY model) was introduced in October of 1991. For those who have old Popular Communications magazines there was a full page ad with photo and featuers on page 8 of the December 1991 issue. 2) Price not including S/H was $374.99 (a far cry from $600.00) Price was not listed in the ad, you had to call the 1-800 number and ask for a brochure or any info. 3) The SR001 was dis-continued about 1 year after being introduced to the market. Shinwa has since dropped out of the scanner market all together. 4) There is no feature on the Shinwa that you can't find on most other scanners. (you can mod the Pro-2006 for remote control). In fact current scanners by Uniden and Radio Shack clearly out perform the SR001 on many of it's so called features. Scans 35 channels per second.....sssslllloooowww. 5) The SR001 was specifically designed for mobile use (vehicular). -happy scanning..... -- Life's to short to worry... :) From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:52 1995 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!dorite!ts1-and-11 From: planck@iquest.net (Steve Planck) Subject: SELL Message-ID: Sender: news@iquest.net (News Admin) Organization: Iquest Network Services X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #2.1 Date: Mon, 28 Aug 1995 21:48:44 GMT Lines: 15 FOR SALE: Grundig SAT 700, 3 mo old, $300 shipped Bearcat 9000 XLT W/GRE 800 MHZ Conv, 4 Mo old, $325 shipped Kenwood TS440SAT xcell cond ,20 million S/N $650 Shipped Ameritron AL80B amp, 3 MO OLD $725 shipped Sangean ATS818 shortwave receiver, good cond $75 shipped PH 317-724-3178 DeWayne AA9AF or write to : DeWayne Planck 1407 Lincoln Ave, Lot 4 Alexandria, IN 46001 planck@iquest.net 73 From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 31 17:21:53 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!news-e1a.megaweb.com!newstf01.news.aol.com!newsbf02.news.aol.com!not-for-mail From: dcorwin639@aol.com (DCorwin639) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Text of New York State Scanner Law Date: 31 Aug 1995 03:40:46 -0400 Organization: America Online, Inc.

You can call the BATF, and they can give you general guidelines, but they will also tell you to check with the individual states AG office. 2. Don't bother with the AG office, call *any* state trooper office for the state in question, they can give you the right answer, quicker. 3. You may find out that a particular state absolutely forbids an out-of- state person to transport a handgun in a vehicle. In that case, what do you do? a) You must decide if your personal protection is worth violating this particular law. They are not going to provide you with an armed escort through their state, are they? b) If you *do* decide to take the weapon, make absolutely sure that you *do not* violate any traffic laws, or transport any other type of contraband. Most especially, no alcohol or drugs. c) Don't make the mistake of putting the weapon in the glove box with your license, tag registration, insurance card, etc. I have all of those things clipped together on my sun visor, because I travel in SC, and you *must* have the weapon in the glove box or locked in the trunk in that state. In NC, it must be "in plain view. In GA, I have a CCW, but for all others, the law is "in plain view". The state troopers can give you the right answer.

Beware, most areas of the country use a UHF channel for two-way radio (some more than one). Using frequencies other than those you have a license for is not really legal. Getting a permit for such a general radio is probably impossible. There exist some 'general use' frequencies around 152-4 MHz, but you still need a permit. Good luck....

I have one alternative, I am going to Canada next week, and have one held at a local radio shack store... They are getting $270(US) for them NEW in the box and I can buy the OS456 board and do it here at home.. Leave me E-MAIL with condition, price, and if you like a phone # to get in touch... I will pay all shipping and will have the unit insured for full value to protect us both.

The problem is obvious, and the solution is simple, but incredibly expensive! The FAA requires that any RF producing device be CERTIFIED for use on commercial aviation carriers BY THE MANUFACTURER. Most manufacturing companies simply don't have the finacial ability or desire to go thru certification, and as of this date, NOT ONE of the cellular manufacturers has taken on the task. There is simply NO reason to. They dont care if you use the phone on the plane, they probably hope you wont. For the simple reason that cell phones were designed for surface use, not airborne use. The possibility of crossing cells of like frequencies is only possible from the air. From the ground it is highly unlikely that this will occur, ther eis a phenomena called rf tunneling or something like that which allows a small chance of crossups, I guess that is what is happening when the person says, I can hear another call on this line, but they cant hear us... Think about how screwed up it could get in the air. Remember, Bell and MetroCell or whomever is the provider, is not the manufacturer, they have no means of providing certification, and I am sure they would not be all that keen on using the cells from the air, can you imagine the bookeeping headaches? And by the way, I fly over 100,000 miles a year, and as a passenger, I really get pissed when I see someone sneak in a cell call while we are in the air... I dont want to end up in a field in Iowa, or up against a water tank in Dallas, because some asshole decided to check his voice mail... The old Airphone system really sucks, and is expensive, but the newer digital phones sound fine, pay for the call and leave the cell phone in the overhead, TURNED OFF!

EDACS SYSTEM] > > When programming the frequencies for a Trunked System in your scanner, start with the highest frequency then program them all downward. Most Trunked Systems "Step down" in frequency, this will allow your scanner to follow the conversations more easily. Usually one frequency will be used for a data channel for a period of 24 hours, usually changing at local midnight. Most systems I have monitored switch downward as well. You will need to "lock-out" the data channel, as this is a constant transmission. As long as it is using analog voice any 800 MHz capable scanner should be able to scan it with no problem. Please note that some GE/Eriksson TRSs use "scanner jammer" tones to lock your scanner on a frequency longer, and randomly throw out tones to stop your scanning for a few seconds.

The primary radio system in use is Philadelphia Electric's 800 MHz trunked system to which Delmarva leases access. This is due to limited coverage of Delmarva's conventional 800 MHz system in the area. The Delmarva system is easy to monitor, since it is a conventional system. The freqs are 851.6875 (Electric System Ops), 852.6875 (Transmission & Distribution Construction & Maintenance), 853.6875 (Service Dept), 854.6875 (Gas Division) and 855.6875 (Fleet Common Channel).
