The only restriction I'm aware of is for for "installation" in a vehicle or place of businees, unless you're law enforcement, press or a licensed amateur radio operator. They don't really define "install" - so I don't know if a handheld powered by a cigarette lighter or connected (by BNC) mobile antenna is illegal.

For your information there are over 1400 cell CLUSTERS in LA county, and, Sounther California has the largest density of CELL towers IN THE WORLD -- PERIOD! I have worked at the installation and debugging end of CELL since it started, and there is ONLY (currently) one way for a map coordinate to be drawn, and that is by signal strenth sample at the tower in question relative to AT LEAST one other tower, but usually requires all three of a triangle... . The strength CAN NOT give an accurate direction off of the single tower's individual set of antennae. That is not the intention of the unit, and it was never designed to track from a single tower... So, with that much in place, take a look at what must have happened... First, THE BRONCO was SPOTTED!! No ifs ands or buts... Given the approximate location THEN cell cowboys could begin to triagulate based on the known trunking of the cell frequencies... That would probably take about an hour just to find someone at the tech department that could even loacte the given information. Next, you would need to know which unit of the cell the phone was using.. The easiest way to do this is to begin a 'forced cell calibration' signal to a few towers to see if the signal in question could be forced to jump to another cell tower.. If that happens, THEN you could begin a true triangulation of the call.. And, by the way, since there is no current way to 'derail' the cell switch to a cell that won't jump, if the call in question jumps again, all is probably lost... But, if you go back into the archives of the media coverage, you get the real answer... It was an ANONYMOUS cell call to 911 that spotted the bronco LEAVING the area of the cemetary! Geeze...

If it doesn't have the cell range included in its coverage, there is a fairly simple mod to restore it. There are a few other mods that make the 200 even better and more efficient. Though it is a bit bulky compared to many of the newer radios on the market, it is practically bulletproof. OK...maybe you want want to use it in a shoot out, but it is considerably more sturdy than many others. As for the price, I'm sure you'll here all kinds of stories and opinions. Here is something actually based in reality. $210 seems to be a fair price for a NEW one. I have purchased 2 different 200xlt's in the past year or so. I bought a used one for around $140 with some accessories and most recently bought a new one at Wal*Mart for $179.95. I will warn you, you have to search the Wal*Marts as their prices don't seem to be all that consistent. I checked nearly 20 different stores before I found it at this price. Also, I do believe a mail-order liquidation company called Damark is currently selling factory reconditioned models for around $175. I have a friend who purchased one and it looks brand new. It even had the cell band coverage and the battery drain problem fixed. All in all a good radio...

Due to the Thansgiving holiday, this package was picked up (for delivery) by UPS Monday, November 27, 1995 (evening pickup). According to UPS, this package was supposed to be delivered Wednesday (11/29/95). (Two business day delivery). On Thursday when my wife called UPS-Houston they informed her that a delivery attempt was made a 6:02 p.m. 11/29/95. Since my wife works at home (all day) and I was sitting on my couch watching the news at that time and date, I suggest the UPS driver on my route was either (1) lost, or (2) mistaken. NO attempted delivery ticket was left. (One of the UPS Customer Service personnel suggested to my wife, that it must have "blown away". I'm sure they use this one a lot. To get this package delivered, My wife called UPS customer service several times and some of the personnel have been quite rude to her. I had hoped this package would be delivered Tursday night 11/30/95 and waited outside for the UPS truck for about two hours. Still NO delivery! On Friday (12/01/95) My wife called the UPS Houston office and filed an "official" complaint and the UPS Customer Service person told her that a UPS Supervisor would call her with in a few hours. Guess what *NO CALL* from UPS. A few weeks ago I sent a package from Houston to rural Oregon via Federal Express and it arrived safely in 18 hours and I could track it's every move via the internet! The moral of this story is: If ANYONE needs a package delivered in a timely manner I urge you to use caution with dealing with UPS. Some of their customer service are rude, they do not return promised phone calls, etc. I recently read a horror story in the December 1995 RCMA "Scanner Journal" concerning a RCMA member who tried to sent a Gateway computer back to Gateway for service and UPS LOST the 66 pound "Gateway Cow Box" it was packed in. Guess what ? This guy lost a ~$2000.00 computer due to these guys! So make up you own mind but to me - It' just not worth it! Pay a few extra dollars and insist on using Fed-EX or DHL !

Why would you concern yourself with how much power a little thing like that put out? Have you ever heard of any RF or Radio Engineers getting cancer or other maladies? The current scare about RF and health is hogwash. There's no study ANYWHERE that can conclusively link RF exposure to disease. Now, maybe if you're dubm enough to peer into the focal point of a Cu band uplink dish... FYI: I work in the Broadcast field and regularly dose myself with RF radiation in much greater quantities and over wider frequency ranges than the average consumer. My medical check-ups over the last 8 years have been perfect! Matter-of-fact I recall reading somewhere that the OM's that built WLW (500kW) AM have been dying of OLD AGE lately.

I have a Uniden 9100 and think it is great and while I can detect the frequency range that it is using, I can't find any useful signal. Definitely 'not readily scannable'. I think I paid about $200 at Wal-Mart. I have a friend who just picked up a real nice Uniden 25 channel cordless phone with speakerphone that works in the 46 Mhz range and uses frequency inversion scrambling. That effectively garbles the signal for most of the scanner population. The cost was $79 at Circuit City. On the otherhand, when I switched my AR-8000 from NFM to lower SSB, I was able to make out the conversation reasonably well. There is also an inverter kit from Ramsey Electronics for around $40 or $50 that will reinvert the audio and recover the original signal. My friend decided that it was secure enough for her purposes but your mileage may vary. If money is no object, the Uniden 9100 is very nice. The 9200 is a two line version with a dialing pad and speaker phone on the base unit -- even nicer :-) The Uniden 46Mhz unit is also nice; especially, when you conider that you get the phone, a speaker phone with the usual intercom features, memory dialing, etc. for $80. The range on the 46Mhz unit is considerably less than the 9100 and the sound quality is not quite as good. You just have to decide how secure you want to be. --rick From Unknown Sun Dec 03 12:53:01 1995 Path: news.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!mr.net!news.mr.net!dawn.mmm.com!news From: pjdurkin@mmm.com (Pat Durkin) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Best Scanner store?

Some examples: BC147XLT for $69, BC148XLT for $79, BC-350A for $99, and BC860XLT for $149. I'm not sure if these were reconditioned units or not. They also had some cheap Grundig SW portables, too.

I have a Alinco DJ-580 that I use for the ham bands but also in the
business bands. I have a new customer who uses uses 464.xx with a
repeater input at 469.xx. It requires a "DPL tone of 465" I am told.
How is this different than a sub audible tone. My radio only has sub
audible tones to 250.3 hz. I can't trigger the repeater without the
tone. Any suggestions? Am I on the wrong track?

I have had good results using this radio with other customers in both
VHF and UHF business bands.

Thanks Bruce.

Thanks to everyone who posted and/or emailed me info.  I've decided
that even though it's reception is not quite as good, the AOR8000
is a better choice because of its features and support.  Now the
question comes if I will ever have the money to buy one...  I'm
having to sell stuff now as it is to pay for my car and my new
apartment.  Ah well, that's life.

Now this is really delving into the hypothetical, because I don't
even have a computer, but what is the best computer interface for
the AR8000?  I'm only aware of two, the (AR8000INF I think) one
from EDCO and the one (CX12 something or other) from OE.  Which
features do each have?  I've been net surfing, and haven't seen
any product information on these devices, but I have heard hints
that it may not be possible to modify the band plan with the INF.
The INF does seem much smaller, though--more suited to portable
scanning hooked to a palmtop computer.

well, cdf doesn't have any units that >I< know of numbered that high.  i

range, which is the king city dispatch group, southeast of salinas.  all
the dedicated cdf repeater inputs are in the 158-159MHz range, wiht
outputs in the 151MHz range.  154.400 belongs to Antelope/Malibu fire
district in Los Angeles County, which has probably changed now since
most of LA fire is on 800MHz.

UPS lost two ICOM handie talkies that I ordered a few years ago.  All they
could show was that the package was picked up, and then they didn't know
what happened.  After I got the run-a-round, I tried to file a complaint. 
They lady on the phone actually said that they could not file a complaint
on what I was complaining about!!!!!  

Now every time I order something, I insist on Fed Ex.  They know exactly
where the package is.

But you did not adjust any of the advanced features of the AR8k that
are available only on an 8k. This would have rendered similar
performance. I find few people are even aware of the impact these
have...
PLL LOCK DETECT
SQELCH DETECT
LEVEL MODULATION DETECT
LEVEL VS SQELCH WAIT
AUDIO WAIT
all values can be set in millliseconds

You can make the AR8k to be any kind of radio you want.
No other radio I am aware of in a handheld scanner allows you to
second guess the design engineer and change it in software to make it
do what you want.


Read the manual and try again before you post about the AR8k. ;>)

One unit is a transmitter, the other is a reciever. If I put the
transmitter in the childs room, and return to my room, and my child crys
during the night I will hear it better than I might have without, but all
you are going to hear is a crying child. Do you get the point.  You might
hear me cooing my baby or talking to him while he/shes asleep but Thats
it...

I have an RCA 900mz. TV sound transmitter which has an adjustable
frequency  knob which can be turned in the event of interference.  And
the headphones have a similar device to bring them into the same
frequency.  

Possibly yours does, too.  Check it out,  The knobs are very small and
inconspicuous.

It's even more fun when Mommy and Daddy play around in their bedroom,
which just happens to be within shouting distance (and Mommy tends to be
loud sometimes ) of the baby monitor that is turned up.  Maybe they
want to broadcast their attempts to have a brother or sister for Junior
(or their practice sessions).  Even better when that was Daddy's voice but
Mommy sounds different (You know, younger and an awful lot like the
babysitter).

I've got a BC200 XLT, had it for years and it works great; also, had no 
trouble doing the mods for extended 800 mghz reception; recently a friend 
asked me to modify his BC 220XLT...sure looks like a nice scanner, but I 
don't know if it is modifyable. Anyone know, and if so could I be e-mailed a 
diagram?
Many tnx in advance
Ron

You need to ask the local department that you listen to.  Most departments have 
their own 10 codes or sugnal codes.  Most all are different!  Most agencies 
will give you a copy, just get with their crime prevention or community affairs 
dept.  Lots of them keep some at their "front desk"

Hmm, that's odd.  I do have R/M Ch4 programmed into my scanner (that's 
how I heard these myserious units), but I'nve never heard R/M refer to 
dispatch as "Central" (they call it "Alarm"), and I've never heard an R/M 
unit called 6624.  They also used other California terminology such as 
saying "Water Tender xx", where Arizona departments usually just call the 
unit "Tender xx".  Maybe it was just an exceptional case of troposhperic 
ductin, but whatever it was, it was nothing like anything I have ever 
heard on R/M Ch4.

I live in a large metropolitan area where multiple police departments are
assigned to the same frequency, but use different PL tones. These police
departments are typically about 30 miles apart. Since the Pro2006 does not
have PL tone capability, by enabling the -10db attenuator, I can use the
squelch to eliminate the lower strength signal, and am able to monitor my
local Police department.

I'm all for it... it would be a good reference point to which we could direct
people with questions about freqs.  I've got a few lists that I could
add... anyone else out there have any lists for anywhere?  (Knowing full
well that of _course_ people out there have lists for all sorts of areas ;-)

As to the subject of how to do it, I think that the subject line would be
best used to indicate the state/location and/or business or entity to which
the list(s) pertain(s).  Then, if the posts are archived anywhere, anybody
could go ftp searching there at the archive site for the lists, and not
have to continually ask for lists on the main news group.  (Of course I
know this will never cease, and I myself have resorted to doing just that
when I haven't found what I'm looking for at a site.)

I think there are already some ftp sites that archive lists to some
extent, but being able to have a group for posting them (and being able to
post changes) would be good.  

(Do I hear a motion going out for a Request for Vote to form a new
rec.radio subgroup?)

     AM is used  for the aircraft bands you have in your scanner (108-136
Mhz.) and/or 200-300 Mhz. the freqs the military uses. AM is usually
about 6 khz. wide. NFM is narrow band FM and is what 95 percent of
everything else is on your scanner, it is usually 12.5 khz. wide. WFM
is what the broadcast bands use (radio-tv) and it is usually 25khz.
wide. I hope that helps.

For the past week there has been a weak beeping signal on King County
Police F-3 153.755 Mhz.

This is a Special Operations channel used most often for search and rescue.

The communications section has been busy with flood/disaster comms all week
so I haven't bothered to try and call them to see if they knew what it was.

I considered that it could be a malicious jammer, or possibly a tracking
xmtr on a suspect's vehicle.

Anybody know what/where this thing is?

Thanks a bunch for the help, I really appreciate it.  One more quickie
though-how come the 3000xlt lets the user changes these?  The scanner
automatically switches the mode appropriately, so why would I ever need to
change it manually? Thanks.


<< AM is used  for the aircraft bands you have in your scanner (108-136
Mhz.) and/or 200-300 Mhz. the freqs the military uses. AM is usually
about 6 khz. wide. NFM is narrow band FM and is what 95 percent of
everything else is on your scanner, it is usually 12.5 khz. wide. WFM
is what the broadcast bands use (radio-tv) and it is usually 25khz.
wide. I hope that helps.

Tom 
The only reason I can think of why they would allow you to switch
manually, is if you were searching  for strange transmissions you would
be able to change modes to help you ID what it is your listening to.  It
is
usually considered a plus to have as many manual controls as possible
on a scanner, i.e. mode, bandwidth, vfo for freq.,  etc.

At least in the USA, there are parts of the spectrum in which both
AM and NFM transmissions may be heard.  The 138 - 144 MHz band
is one example where you will find military aircraft using AM
intermixed with military base communications using NFM.

My 760 XLT picks up cell imaging beautifully at 21.7 above the actual

I think you will find that many European countries limit what can be

I forget to what extent.

Some countries, England in particular, even requires licensing of some
receivers - television in particular.

That sounds like impairment, to me.

No doubt this treaty was the result of the Nazis' activities in Hitler's 
Gerrmany.  America is supposed to be "the freeest nation in the world"; 
isn't it ironic that we don't have a similar treaty here to protect us 
from nonsense like the ECPA?

You're (partially) right. It is illegal for example to publish scanner
frequencies in Belgium (southern neighbor of the Netherlands). In
Germany it is illegal to inform others about the conversations you
heard using your scanner. But AFAIK it is *not* illegal to listen to a
scanner, (as long as you keep the information to yourself).

I am not familiar with the situation in the UK...

  Ed.

Portable Cellular phones are limited to 600 mW under the EIA spec that

I've heard that there are a disproportionate number of radio amateurs 
suffering from assorted cancers/conditions.  Most notably blood and nervous 
system related ones.  

And besides, absence of evidence is never evidence of absence.

Hand helds (ie flip phones etc.) put out 600mw.  I don't know exactly,
but I think 900MHz cordless units put out `100mw(?).  I have a
Panasonic KXT9000, and so far no tumors

Mobile and Transportable Cellular Phones operate at a power level of
3.0 Watts Maximum.  The Cellular network determines what required power
level is needed and then sends comands to the phone to step its power
up and down by 4db steps.  This produces a range of power steps between
4.8 mM and 3.0 W.  

Portable Cellular Phones have a maximum power output of 600 mW.  Most
cellular phones operate at 480 mW.  480 mW is 8 db below 3 W.  In a
mature Cellular network most phones are told to operate at power levels
between 70 mW and 480 mW.

I have not seen any proof that these signal levels are harmful to
anyones health.

Amatuer radio operators are proof that exposure to RF will make you live 
forever - ever listened to 80 meters?  :)

The max ERP for a cellular phone is 7 watts.  But a mobile sends 
3 watts max to the antenna.

You might be thinking of handhelds that can be used with vehicle
kits.  There are many vehicle installation kits with external amps
that allow 3 watt operation as a mobile.  But handhelds are limited
to 600mW when used as portables.

There are a few handheld phones that, when programmed incorrectly
(wrong SCM), will try to go above 600mW.  They can do it for a 
while but they suck the soul out of batteries and get warm - which
will cause most phones to back the power down again.

Also consider that it's the IONIZING radiation that is the most 
dangerous.  Cordless phones, cell phones, HT's don't operate at a high 
enough frequency to emit ionizing radiation.

Of course, touching the radiating element of a 200kW FM broadcast antenna 
will give you a nice burn but most people don't do that sort of thing.:)

Don't some of them allow you to go up to 3.0 watts on high power mode?

I know the limits you mentioned are those for US cell phones.  I thought I had read 
an article that the European (and maybe even the Asian) portable phones were 
slightly more powerful (battery life not withstanding).  There were some concerns 
from a German study that suggested "possible" health risks and the answer from the 
US industry was the German phones put out a higher power thant their American 
counterparts.

It's true that GSM phones are slightly higher powered.
It's also true that some people are concerned about breathing air.

Even if that were true, the amount of power would still not be dangerous.

I beleive that the RFR study that was done in Germany was considered
incomplete.  This was due to the fact that other research groups could
not duplicate the results of the study.  I may be wrong on this, but
since I haven't seen any published articles and studies showing RFR
from cell phones as being at a harmful level I wouldn't cry wolf yet. 
a recent Florida court case was using RFR as the reason for a womens
death by stating that it caused her to get brain cancer.  The RFR
expert that the plaintiff was using refused to state that this was the
case.

 Uniden  EXP9200  Spread Spectrum
 

 I've used this phone in a variety of enviroments:

  Residental, with base on first floor of home:  1/4 mile.
  Commercial area shopping center etc. range reduced to      
  about  half of above, in one direction,  near full 1/4 
  range in the other direction, varies with amount of
  obstructions. 
                  
  I also took the phone to a friends home, he lives near  
  the top of a hill abt. 250-300 ft elevation, with a clear 
  view of town,  from there I got coverage nearly  
  anywhere within line of sight.  Longest range 
  was 9.4 miles.  Calls are always either clear with
  no static, or the audio disapears if you get out of range.
   Propagation at 900 Mhz is very near line of sight, 
   it works very well if the base has some elevation above
   the surroundings.  The signals are easily attenuatted 
    by buildings foillage etc.

    The range of analog models is likely to be shorter.

Digital phone.   Ugly phone but sound is great and helps cut down on

I have a  ATT 9120 900Mhz mounted in on the kitchen wall.  We get
about 100 yards range  in a ferro-concrete house.  The sound is
awesome but I was a little disappointed with the range. 

 Also the phone fell from me once and the key pad covering broke off.
I went recently to Circuit City and noticed they are no longer selling
this model.  The new model the ATT 9122 is also identical except the
key pad cover is now modeled to the phone to prevent this kind of
damage.


Finally I remember a couple months ago someone posted a modification
that could be made to the 900Mhz phone using an external  Radio Shack
antennae that would significantly improve the range of the phone but I
don't have a copy.

If anyone know of this post sould you report please.

Your chances of being asked for to pay a customs fee are lower if
Jiaviation ships to you VIA regular mail.  However, the chances when
shipping with UPS are almost as low.

I got my radio from Jaiaiation to California in 10 days using mail

Could someone give me some information on ACARS -- Aircraft 
Communications Addressing and Reporting System?  Tips on data rate, kind 
of encoding scheme used, and how possibly to decode the signal with 
homebrew hardware/software etc, would be great...

Also, is this different from the aircraft transponders?  ACARS on 131.55 
MHz I'm already aware, but are there other used freq's?

Thanks in advance,

Does anyone have any active frequencies in the mil-air band for the

was wondering what else is "up there". I'd be happy to share & compare
what I have. Please LMK.

After I bought my Pro-2006 I asked the same question and got this
information from Durham Radio Sales .

I opted for a discone, but don't ask me, I'm a newbie too.

Antenna selection is based on a number of factors. The two main categories
would be 1. Your location. and 2. What you prefer to listen to.

1. Location. (All of these factors contribute to reception)
  a) Distance from the transmitters you want to hear -- The closer you are,
the less band specific* your antenna needs to be.

  b) Height above ground. -- Height is might. The higher you position your
antenna the further you will receive. The radio waves that scanners pick up
generally travel "line of sight". If for example, you could stand in the
exact position of your antenna, you should be able to receive any
transmitter that you have an unobstructed view of.

  c) Proximity to transmitters -- If your antenna is located near large towers
with multiple antennas mounted on it, live near a hospital with paging
system on the premesis etc.

2. Your Preferences
  a) All band vertical -- these antennas have "traps" built in to the vertical
element. Most of them claim 25-1000 MHz or 25-1300 MHz. Although they claim
this range, trapped antennas are usually very efficient in the regular bands
of interest and OK everywhere else.

  b) Discone -- another all band, full coverage antenna. These antennas
perform about the same as the vertical listed above but tend to have a more
even sensitivity across the entire range. Good for full coverage scanners
like the AOR8000 etc.

  c) Log periodic Beam -- this antenna is usually mounted on a rotor so that
you can point it at the desired transmitter. They have full frequency
coverage and are used by enthusiasts wanting to receive all kinds of
stations throughout the frequency range of their scanner. It will pick up
local stations as well as stations that would normally be out of range.

  d) Yagi -- normally a single band directional antenna. Can be used to zero
in on a distant station or stations with in a frequency range eg. 136 - 174
MHz.

  e) Vertical gound plane -- same as (a) but no traps. Made specifically for a
single range of frequencies eg. 800-900 MHz. All other frequencies will be
less sensitive. Ideal for situations where intermod from outside the
antenna's frequency range are a problem.

I've been mailing Javiation for the past few days, saying that I was

nothing's bounced and all my _other_ mail gets to its recipients fine.

What's up with them?  Do they just check their mail infrequently?

I got a rather slow (many days) response from them to a
question.  They claim to be rather bogged down right now.

Well, to follow up to my own post, I finally got a response.  Apparently
Jonathan Clough (who answers mail for Javiation) was out of town for the
weekend plus a few days on either end for personal business.  Anyway,
they're back and answering mail again.

Did you try to call them by phone or fax the question list. If the e-mail
destination does not exist, the last know mail server in the chain
needs to send response "Unknown destination" to your e-mail address.
Some time it does not work due some problems.

I understand that Atlanta went to an 800 Mhz system.
See if you can get in touch with Roger Cravens, in or near Atlanta. He'll 
know.

I have recently performed the modification for the bc2500xlt by moving a 
surface mount resistor but it didn't work on my unit.  The microprocessor 
in the article was a "uc-1513a" and mine is a "uc-1513b".  Does this mean 
my unit is unmodifiable?  If not, I would appreciate any comments or 
suggestions.

From my understanding the AR model is the CX12 plus an adapter
that gives you a place to plug the miniplugs into.  By itself,
the AR8000/2700 just has a flat flexible cable jack which
obviously won't work with the CX12 cables.  So if you're going
to use the CX12 with an AOR radio you need the CX12AR model.

Andrew,

When I worked just down Route 22 from the Bridgewater Commons mall, they
were using 464.425 for security operations.  I could hear their repeater
well even out where I lived in western Hunterdon County, too.

I believe Kupper Airport just has a unicom station, so check around
123.000 for the actual freq.  In fact, it would be no big deal to just
call the airport. That stuff is common knowledge.  The general aviation
airport that I use in Iowa now produces a brochure on the airport and
includes its unicom freq right on the brochure.

I'm planning on bringing my scanner on a trip.  My question is, will the
x-ray people give me a hard time and make me open my bag if I carry it on?
 I'd be interested in hearing from anyone on this matter, thanks.

They will inspect it. Most likely take batteries out to check for
explosives. You can carry it on but DON'T turn it on. Scanners emit
weak RF that could interfere with the airplane electronics. Same
with FM radios, cellular phones ...

I just got back from a trip to PIT via DFW and MCO. I had my scanner, cell phone and radar detector
all in the same carry-on bag and the x-ray folks never said a word.

I just came back from a trip where I carried my scanner in
my carry on bag.  I had no problems with security, just
ran the bag through the x-ray machine.  Check the local
laws at your destination, I was in Florida and they have
some strict laws about using the scanner in a car.

If your are going to take it as carry on then make sure it WORKS
They might ask you to turn it on. if it will not work then they
will ask you to go back to your ticket agent to have it shipped
as CHECKED baggage..
This happened to me  with a HT when the batteries went dead

They may very well ask you to open your bag if they see it on the
Xray.  If they think they need to see it, you have to show it to
them.  You may have turn it on for them - I am often asked to do
that with my pager and amatuer HT.  In fact, when I am not
questioned about the equipment, I usually think they are not
being as diligent as they should be.

It is perfectly legal to carry a scanner onto an airplane.  But
check with the flight crew before using it while on board.

We traveled by plane in April, no problem. I had a Pro 34, a 2 meter
handheld,a small shortwave/FM radio and a tape recorder in my bag.

Of course, this was before the increase in security.

I didn't have to remove the batteries (as a friend said I would) and I
could listen to the scanner (and FM) after we got up in the air.

BTW, I didn't hear hardly anything on the air channels. I heard our
pilot once. More interesting was searching the police freqs (something
like 460-470). FM was fun, too.

I'm probably going to buy a PRO-26 some time in the near future.  Full
coverage is, of course, necessary as this is too much to spend and not
have it, so my options are apparently the Canadian and European versions. 
If anyone can help me I've got two questions:

1) The difference between the two is apparently in the default steps in
certain frequency ranges.  Is there any advantage in the US between one
and the other?

2) Is there anywhere in Canada that I could order one from?  All the
Canadian scanner stores I've found don't carry the 26, and apparently the
Radio Shacks sell the US version although it's not illegal to sell the
Canadian version.  Go fig.  I'd prefer a Canadian source as it's less
likely that customs will have a problem with it or ask me for a tax.

Thanks all for anyone who can help!

Soren,

    I don't know if they carry the PRO-26, but I know they have the PRO-43
(with mods) as well as others at Durham Radio Sales and Service located in
the "Great White North" of Canada.

    You can check out their Web Page at .
They have all sorts of daily specials and they deliver what they promise.

    I'm just a satisfied customer.

As I understand it, both the UK and Canadian versions of the PRO-26 are
unblocked, however the UK version switches modes automatically when
listening to certain bands.  Which version would work better for US
frequencies?

If you pull apart a cellphone, you will see a large can inside, with only 
three commections, they are sometimes labled 'ant' 'rx' and 'tx'.
Couldn't be easier. It connects straight to the antenna, although it
couldn't be of much help, it won't amplify any signals, all it will do
is attenuate other signals, it is used to prevent the transmitter of
the phone from getting into the reciever while using the same antenna.

It has nothing to do the wavelength being so close to zero - relative to 
the entire RF spectrum, 800 MHz has a wavelength nowhere near zero.  It's 
about a foot.  Removing your antenna simply adds a lot of attenuation, 
to both the desired and undesired signal.  A strong signal can still 
induce enough voltage at the receiver input to be usable without a whip.

Thats silly.  CHP has been heard on the VHF-Low band as far as New York

how far the frequencies "skip" during solar activity really has nothing
to do with how far you can hear a mobile unit locally.  i can hear the
chp base stations in my area up to 80 miles from their point of
transmission (up on some of the highest peaks around here).  being able
to pick up the mobiles is an entirely different story.  friends and i
have gone so far as to load up the frequencies into a lowband maxtrac
and connect the unit to an outdoor lowband base antenna (i believe it
was an AS model, it was 2 years ago) on a 20 foot mast above the
building.  reception was no better than 20 miles, with 15 miles being
about the average reception distance for a mobile unit.  even with the
best setup, without some altitude one is just not going to hear the
mobiles that great.

the characteristics of the 42MHz range are fairly similar most of the
time to 27MHz.  i remember having days where i couldn't talk to a mobile
2 or 3 miles from my house, but could shoot skip to arkansas with little
effort.  it's all the atmospheric conditions and the 100w mobiles chp
has (25w on the bikes) still don't help that much.

last but not least, does anyone here remember what the radiation pattern
a 1/4 wave antenna with a perpendicular groundplane is?  last i checked,
it was still one that radiates the majority of the signal upward at
approximately a 25 degree angle from the radiating element.

Ditto.  I had my Radio Shack PRO2026A in my dash (it stuck out--and
I had to put a trim piece around it since it's smaller than DIN).  I pulled it
out and replaced it with my venerable Kenwood RZ-1, which is DIN form
factor--except for the mounting holes.

Unfortunately the RZ-1 is, I believe, discontinued.  It covers 0.5-905 MHz
continuous (hence its demise to ECPA II), although its sensitivity leaves
much to be desired, it doesn't roll over and die every time I get within a
block or two of a transmitter.

Another DIN form factor scanner I had for a short while was the Shinwa SR-001.
The human interface was attrocious...

Hi Pj;

Here's what I have;

Fairlane Mall -     462.575
                          461.650


Kmart Security     154.600
Hudson's              151.925

The following are security freqs for store at other malls. They might be
using the same freqs at Fairlane, so try them.

J.C. Penney          154.600
Crowley's              465.950
Lord & Taylor         467.1375
Kohl's                    461.7375
                             461.825

Hope this helps.

I don't know is Scottsdale has their own bird, but Phoenix does assist
neighboring cities when asked. Also, one night while monitoring I
heard the air unit say that the observer was a Scottsdale PD officer.
"Air 2:" is a common call sign for the Phoenix air units.

Yup, Scottsdale has their own helicopter. It's on the regular 800 system.

DPL is "Digital Private Line", another Motorola trademark. It's a
binary encoded data stream, so you'll need to purchase a commercial
encoder/decoder. They're starting to become available at flea/swaps
and in some posts.

    I've read in the past that the euro cell system has a slightly
different cell channel spacing than the north american system. Might
be something worth checking in to first.

I don't get into monitoring paging systems but I haven't seen anyone talk 
about the FLEX paging protocol that is now emerging.  This is the new 
protocol from Motorola that increases system capacity 10 times and 
enhances the effectiveness of simulcasting.

Most of the major carriers will be going to this in order to stay 
competitive.  I have been evaluating pagers for the last couple of months 
for my employer.  PageMart is using FLEX now it seems to really help - my 
test pager from them works where others won't.  I have also been testing 
Skytel Two-Way which uses RE-FLEX (same thing but handles replies and 
confirmations as well) with some success.

This will likely replace Golay and POCSAG on many large systems in the 
future.

That figures.  I understand that flex uses a four level signalling format
rather than the two level format used by the standard pocsag & golay.
The concept of flex is obviously intended to fit more pagers on a single
channel by upping the data rate, hence increase revenue. Common sense
would have you believe that would be at the cost of the individual 
customer reliability on fringe areas.  There is inherently no error
correction with a one way protocol.  I've been told nothing beats the
range of golay.
  This is where more power from the paging site can improve matters.
Altitude, antenna & power output are factors. We have a 350w continuous
930mhz amp ready for production and a 500w is on the way.
  Also remeber the old PURC 5000 cannot do flex, so smaller providers
using those stations will continue with the current formats.

I've done this too, and have pretty much concluded these are all false
hits. Since there is a waveguide running through the subway tunnels,
perhaps there is intermod generated between it and the local transmitter
in the train itself.

If you try different antennas, the hits are clustered in different areas;
dependent on where the antenna is most resonant.

Greetings!

I tried to take the path of least resistance and trade my ICOM R7100 for an HF rig. I had a couple dialogues going where the other 
party decided they didn't need the best scanner ever made, so here goes:

ICOM R7100 1000 channel scanner
Optoelectronics CIV interface and cables
ScanCat software

This rig is unblocked, and only nine months old. It is in excellent condition, and includes original boxes, manual, and accessories.

$1100 and I pay shipping CONUS UPS ground. You pay difference, and I'll ship second day. I buy and sell a bunch on Internet and 
CI$, so will provide references if desired.

IC-R1 radio for $ 200 dollars. i have two questions. #1 is "was this a good
deal? "and #2  is i have been using this scanner for 3 mos and have had fun
but i think it might be too much radio for me. i sent away for the
instruction booklet, and after i got  i still havn't used all the features
on it. should i return it and buy a newer but simpler radio , or stay with
it? Thanks

If it were me I would keep it.  I payed $275 for the one I have.  I
don't use all the features either but at least they are there if you
need them. The R-1 does have it's problems as far as intermod, etc but
I have found it beats my BC200, BC2500, and BC3000 in sensativity
within certain ranges.  The 800 - 900 MHz range comes in great as does
the 108 - 170 range.  I use the Maldol Active Hunter antenna (3 in
high) on mine and the scanner can receive repeaters that are 60 miles
away while in my basement while the other handhelds don't pick up
unless I open the squelch.  I guess there is good and bad in everything
depending on 
who uses it and for what.  I like the R-1 and would not get rid of it.
It has its usefulness as do the other handhelds I have.  Happy Scanning
!!!

Oh, boy, you will hear a *lot* on this one!
Hey, if it works for you, and you like it, it was a *great* deal. After 
all, that's the whole point, isn't it?
Don't worry about it being "too much radio" for you. You'll grow into it. 
As you get better with it, you may even want something more. That's what 
God made money for! ;-)

Hi.
I'm sorry about the anonymous post, but this is the only remailer I could
remember off of the top of my head. I no longer have news access, but I
would REALLY appreciate it if someone who could help me out would respond
to this message in email.

I recently picked up a used Pro-34. It was in fine working condition. I took
it home, opened it up, and pulled out D11 to restore the cell phone frequencies.In the file that I obtained on the Pro-34, it indicated that adding D-9 wo
enable the 66-88 Mhz band. So, I put in the diode that I had just pulled out
of D11's spot. I closed the case back up, and turned the unit on.
The 66-88 Mhz band works fine, as does the cellular frequencies. (So you're 
wondering "what is he complaining about then?") Well, I've lost the 30-54 Mhz
band. Does anyone know of a mistake that I could've made that would cause the loss of this band? Whenever I type in a frequency below 66Mhz, the scanner 
displays "Error". I looked at the area that I was working on for the mod...
Everything looked fine, no solder bridges or anything. So, if anyone can help,
please respond to this message via e-mail. Thank you very much!!!

There are two diodes, easily visible, behind the 3 key inside the radio after
you remove the top cover.

Clip both of them. You will have a faster scan rate and cellular coverage will
be restored.

Hello!!

I sure hope someone can help me!!  I travel to Hillsboro regularly, and 
can't seem to hear very much.  Are they on Beaverton's or Washington 
County's 800 MHz system, or do they still use their own frequs.  Any 
help including frequs, unit ID's, and what system they are on would be 
great.  

Also any other interesting Portland Metro Frequs would be great!  
I have the Aug 3 frequ exchange list from Eddy at HP.  

I have pretty run of the mill frequs for the mid valley (Benton, Linn, 
Marion, and Lane counties) that I am willing to share.  Please E-Mail or 
Post!!

Thanks,

Dave

I have owned a 2006 for about 3 years now, and to this date I have no
complaints.  A very capable scanner for it's price.  It kept me busy
during my liberty hours throughout my last years in the Marine Corps,
snooping in on the MPs, Helos, jets, and what not. It kept me company
during some of the hardest years in my life; kept me occupied and out of
trouble.  I woudn't trade it in for anything.  

I am also looking to buy an unblocked hand held scanner with continuous
coverage so that I can be mobile enthusiast.  I am looking for some
suggestions and sales offers.

I bought an R-100 today, and I am very pleased so far. If anyone has any 
info, hints, etc please let me know!



PS: I got it for approx. $260 if that helps at all....I know it's worth

Mine is a desktop unit--are we talking about the same thing?  I swear
mine is a Uniden Bearcat 210XLT. I don't see this scanner mentioned
here on the newsgroup, does this mean there aren't that many around?

Anyone know how to go about modifying this?  Also, when was this
scanner made?

 Just an FYI...

Modification to any part 15 device (including cordless phones) that 
changes it original, type accepted design is illegal.  The only antennas 
that can be used are those that the manufacturer provides or approves.

While I don't recall what actually happened in the O.J. case, you have 
overlooked one fact.  Triangulation would be required if the object was 
stationary, but if you can see that a cell call was handed off to 
sequence of 7 different cells and then you map the cells, it would not be 
difficult to figure out which road was being traveled.

Just for those of you thinking about using your scanner at the Mall of 
America in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA -- It is not looked upon 
favorably by the mall security.  If they have reason to believe you are 
monitoring their frequencies, you will be asked to take the scanner out 
to your car, and lock it up -- or to leave the premises if you don't have 
a car. (personal experience) Pretty strict, I think, but that's their 
business -- it is a private place of business, and they can have whatever 
rules they want, I guess.  A friend of mine also said they do not like 
camcorders there.  (something about merchants being afraid you will copy 
their ideas, copyrighted logos, etc . . .)

So my advice if you take something out of the ordinary in to MOA:  be 
discrete.

  Um, I think if you're planning on driving your car through the mall 
instead of the more traditional, pedestrian method, the scanner will 
be the least of mall security's --and your-- problems.

re: the thread about bringing scanners into the 'mall of america' in 
bloomington, MN...

the original poster expressed some reservations, implying mall "security" 
is somewhat insecure with customers carrying scanners...

last fall the "minnesota radio hottyists' held a monthly meeting at the 
mall, specifically we pushed some tables together on the second floor 
food court, brought out our scanners and...well...scanned.  we were there 
for several hours, and our time was without incident.

i can't speak to anyone else's experience, of course.  my recommendation 
to others who scan in public...just be cool about it, a bit discrete, and 
no one will bother you.  especially not the security guards, who are more 
worried about fights and shoplifters than radio geeks with earphones 
sticking out of their heads.

BYW, enjoy the mall.  i recommend the 'mystery mine ride'.  long line, 
but worth the wait.

on another subject:

i note in the latest MT the offer by a major equipment retailer to 
restore cellular frequencies on blocked scanners.  looks like some lawyer 
found a loophole in the law,  which enables restoration on scanners 
mailed in, but not on new scanners sold.  which again shows the stupidity 
of the law.

P.S.  it costs about $40, plus postage,  to have a scanner made whole.  
thank your congressmember, next time you run into him or her at the 
barber shop or K-Mart...

Ha!  I'd like to see them try it!  My family lives in the Twin Cities and

   Exactly why you've probably really got to be looking & acting like a 
stereotypical scanner dork for mall security to spot you & decide to 
(politely) advise you to lose the scanner!

How can they tell the difference between a person wearing earphones 
with a walkman in their inside jacket pocket and a person wearing earphones 
with a scanner in their inside jacket pocket? Do they stop every person 
wearing earphones and ask them what they're listening to?

Hello All,

I am interested in purchsing an AR8000.  I have seen most of the
liturature for it and am impressed so far.  I currently own an IC-R100
and am very happy with it's front-end.  Great sensitivity, good
selectivity and image rejection.  I plan on keeping the R100,  and am
now looking for a decent handheld.

I have noticed quite a few AR8000's for sale here in rec.radio.scanner
and some in alt.radio.scanner.  Usually I shy away from a radio when I
see several posts to sell it.  This may be either that it is X-mas
time or the radio could not be worth the money.  I have seen prices
from $500 to $800.  Grove has them for $599.($40 for cell mod).
This seems like a fair price for the features.  More I think about it,
the price seems a little low for the capabilities.  

Hey, all you AR8000 owners, What's the scoop?  Is it worth the money?
Are the front-end specs as advertised?  What about selectivity and
image rejection?  Ease of programming w & w/o the computer interface?
Any other comments?  Qualify your answers. 

Thanks in Advance!

//Richard\\

I have a aor8k and I love it.  It works great and it's jammed packed 
with nice features.  problems:~42mhz is a little weak and there is a lot 
of space in the case (it could be smaller), the BNC mount has come loose 
and the numbers on the keypad rub off (that problem is fixed on the new 
pads).

Aside from that, it's great.  I also have a RS pro2004, rs pro43 & an 
bearcat 760xlt (which sucks)cause of intermod.  I used to have an ICOM 
R-1 and I hated it so much I just gave it to a friend - so much intermod 
it was useless in Los Angeles. 

The 8000 is my favoite so far.

Most likely the repeater is on backup and has the beep to let the know.
If some of the county's power is out, the repeater is on battery power.

Probably one of two things:

An alarm from the repeater/remote base indicating a power failure or 
other problem with the radio.

It could also be a "channel marker".  We use such a signal to tell users 
on the frequency that an emergency situation exists and the channel 
is to remain clear - only essential communications are to be conducted on 
the channel.  Ours is short "beep" that comes up on the channel about 
every 12 seconds when activated - the users can talk over it.

  The PRO-26 has 6MHz scan spacing on the 59.75 - 71.75, 81.75-87.75,
  179.75-215.75, 517.75-805.75 MHz bands. This, of course, cuts down the
  usable number of frequencies in these bands to tune in. And the   
  friggin' box say "continuous" (except cell phone). I can't even punch
  in frequencies that do not fall on a 6MHz space. Anyone know how to 
  correct this problem?

If anyone has the mods for an 800xlt, It would be greatly appreciated if you can e-mail them to me.
I had them some time ago and did an upgrade on mine, but a friend of mine would like to have his 
done, and I can't seem to find where I put them. Thanks.

I am a casual scanner head, I own two hand held models the RS 51 and
RS 60.  I was thinking about purchasing a Optoelectronics Scout.
Since my scanners cannot reaction tune with the Scout, is it worth
buying the Scout ?   I would like to hear how people use the Scout and
if they find it useful without having a reaction tune scanner.

A question on the 2006, I know one of the two diodes behind the keypad

        So the entire 6400 channels are usable from the keypad?
        Who do we contact for this?

I have a Pro-2042 with the Opto535 board.  When I first turn the raido
on,it takes a little longer than normal.  Also after you turn it in the
squelch opens up for a split second.  I was wondering if this is normal
and if the Pro-2035 with the Opto535 board also did this.  Thanks.

I am also looking for any mods for this scanner.  I have not seen anything

only one to have bought one.  Any information you find, could you pass it
along.

Hello,

I'm planning on having my girlfriend get me the PRO-51 for x-mas,
(on sale for ~ $199 at a local Radio Shack) and would like to hear any 
comments, pros and/or cons, about the unit.  I'm looking for a handheld, ~ 
$200 US, with a good scanning range of freqs, ability to be moded, AC 
adapter, etc... and find the PRO-51 to fit the bill.  Only trouble is I 
know nothing about the performance (or usage for that matter) of this 
handheld versus others.  Any comments?

Thanks a lot for any info!

It replaced the pro-43 which was a damn good radio. And so is the 60 but
no cell mode for it.

Well, look at it this way:
     If they don't actually transmit, they can't work.
     If they do actually transmit, they are illegal as hell. (Please, 
transmitting to jam a legal signal *is* illegal, so all the legal beagles 
out there can cool it.)

Isn't is something like you have to stop interfering if they give you
written notice of the interfering?

That's what some lawyer told me a long time ago, anyway.

I dunno.  The thing SOUNDS pretty illegal to me...

I am not sure what type of device your are talking about that "meets
FCC regs".  I am not sure that they have type accepted anything for 
use as a police radar jammer.  When you say it meets regs - as a
part 15 device?

Type accepted or not, if you're using an RF device to cause
intentional interference (like jamming radar), it is very likely
^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
an illegal operation.  They are not required to accept intentional
interference from other secondary users.

Hello All,

I will be visiting New York City soon and am planing on taking a wide
band ham handy talkie along to listen in on the public service
frequencies.  In preparation for this trip, I have researched, through
various resources, a good number of frequencies.  My problem is in
determining which of the many frequencies that I have are ones that I
really want to spend time listening to.

I will be staying at a hotel in midtown Manhatten, near Times Square.
If you have information about police dispatch, squad to squad, fire,
fire ground or just about any active, interesting frequencies within
earshot of midtown, I'd appreciate your reply.

I believe in my 2006 it was a diode that needed to be cut.  There was
another one there as well.  Do you know what this one does?  Thanks.

I just bought a Pro-51 with 7A4 in Albany, New York.  Just as stated above,
I had to take the display model, since all the new ones in the back were 
3A5.  I took it home, and it took the celluar mods with NO PROBLEM!!!

I'm looking for the frequency of Federal Fire Department in San Diego,
California.  I'm not referring to "federal fire departments" in general. 
There is actually a fire department (run by the federal government,
obviously) called Federal Fire Department in San Diego.  I have a freq of
138.600 MHz, but that didn't seem to carry any FFD traffic.  It was Camp
Pendleton, I think. 

I'm also looking for MedEvac (helicopter) frequencies that are in use in 
the San Diego area.  

For that matter, I'm really looking for any fire and EMS frequencies that 
are in use in San Diego and outlying areas and NOT on 800 MHz.  Yes, I 
should get an 800 MHz scanner, but, I don't have one now.

I have a few frequencies obtained from http://www.cs.nmsu.edu/~thharrel/
but any other will be much appreciated.  I am going to have a better radio
with me this time, so I will have VHF-Low and UHF at my disposal as well
as VHF-Hi.  Police frequencies are also welsome, but my main interest is
definitely fire and EMS freqs. 

Thanks in advance for any info.  Please reply via e-mail, or send a CC of
any followups to me in e-mail, as my news feed is extremely slow and
unreliable.

Looking through a recent Tucker Electronics catalog, I noticed a kit
for an SCA decoder.  The unit connects to the detector output of an FM
receiver and tunes the SCA subcarrier band (50-100 kHz).  With it, the
catalog claims, one can tune in programming ranging from "stock quotes
to rock music" and the "continuous commercial-free background music"
used by restaurants.

I am unfamilliar with this whole concept and would appreciate it if
someone would enlighten me.  Specifically:

What is the SCA subcarrier band?

Is it widely used?

Is it worth decoding?

TIA

SCA stands for "Secondary Channel Authorization", and is simple another 
subcarrier used to modulate the carrier.  As you might know, adding 
stereo to an FM radio was done by putting information onto another 
"carrier" (in this case one in the several-kilohertz range rather than 
one in the 100 MHz range.  This second carrier was then used to modulate 
the 100 MHz carrier.  Your receiver receives the 100 MHz carrier and 
extracts all the modulation - some of it is in the audio range and you 
could hear it if you had a monaural receiver.  The rest was sent to 
another detector that extracted the additional information from the 
second carrier.  In SCA, an additional subcarrier, usually in the 50-100 
KHz range, is modulated with further information.  The SCA detector 
extracts this from the signal.  Muzak was the first company I knew about 
doing this.  They would buy SCA rights on a local FM station, send in 
their own music that the broadcaster would add to the signal, and then 
Muzak would sell the service to businesses in the area.  A business 
buying the service would be given a receiver tuned to the radio station, 
that would extract the SCA.

Back in my broadcast days it was, although for very limited purposes.  I 
understand that now it is used for an unbelievable range of purposes, 
including those you listed.

>

Of course only you can answer that, but if you like scanning and similar 
activities, you can certainly have some fun.  And you might find 
something you would like to return to frequently, like interesting data, 
music you can enjoy, et.

ROFLASTC!!!!!!

What a crock of crap.   

This information has been offered everywhere before!

For free, not for your feeble attempt to grab 19.95.  

If the system is a Motorola system, buy a motorola radio, either locally or
mail order.  (Plenty of used ones out there)

Buy a RIB, and cable from your local Motorola dealer, along with the
appropiate software.

Then, using the, as you put it, the group ID, and the freq, (the ID is the 
hard part to get) and there you are.

If it is Ericcson, use their equipment.  LTR, use EFJ.  Etc.

Of course, this is one of the reasons that they found Gass guilty in the
recent federal court case..... 

Get a clue.  Sheesh.

... Catch the Blue Wave!

You are also missing a clue.  You will need a Motorola system key to 
program a Motorola radio even with all the group/subgroup structures, 
control channels, system ID and legitimately obtained RIB, cable, 
programming software and radio.

I recently purchased a used Bearcat 890, and I seem to have
a baffling problem. When the antenna is disconnected, I can 
hear the police frequencies (470-480 Mhz.) When I connect the 
small collapsible antenna whip it came with, the transmission
gets interrupted. I originally thought the problem was the 
antenna so I bought an external antenna (Monitenna) and the 
same problem persists. With the external antenna I get better
reception on the aircraft band (117-136 Mhz.) but the mid 
frequencies are still disabled. 

Here's some more information that might be relevant to my 
problem:

1. I live in NYC and there might be strong microwave 
interference.

2. My antenna is on top of 2 10' masts that it shares with a 
regular VHF/UHF/FM antenna.

3. This antenna is parralel to a 30' high CB antenna

4. I'm running 2 50' coax cables connected with pl239
connectors with a BNC adapter at the scanner end.

If anyone has any ideas on what can be done to get better
reception, please, please get back to me ASAP..

Thanx in advance!




Receptionless in NY,
E.R.

Sorry,

This group rec.radio.scanner is a group for enthusiasts/eavsdroppers of the
radio spectrum & the word 'scanner' relates to a sophisticated kind of radio
receiver. Suggest a comp.hardware group would be more appropriate.

All the best

Hello everyone. 
 After doing mods for my own scanners, friends have asked me to do thiers. 
I'm now offering my services to "the net" users.  I am quite familiar with
Uniden and Realistic scanners, but can work on just about anything I can
find a schematic for.  Most mods are only $25.  E-Mail me for more details.

Thanks,

Hi

Has anyone here got the demo version of Scanstar for Windows installed 
and running successfully? I haven't! I have downloaded it twice and 
installed it on two different pc's but I get an error processing SSCAN.EXE

Anything I should know?

Chris

I am new to the scanning world and was wondering if anyone would suggest 
a handheld scanner that could be modified for cellular coverage? I was 
looking to spend about $200 to $300. Any suggestions would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,  Troy

Troy,

    Durham Radio sells the Radio Shack Pro-43 with the cell mods already
done for somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 (US). They are located in
Canada so they can still get the "good" scanners. They have other cell
capable scanners as well.

    Visit their Web page at: . They offer
all sorts of daily specials on scanners, Ham radio gear, etc. They also
have parts and service departments.

John

If the 2026 was manufactured before May of '94, you can just cut jumper
L201 to enable the cell band.

If Rhess is referring to true, continuous coverage, then he's out of luck.
Continuous coverage must be supported by two things: the CPU programming,
and the RF sections to receive ALL of the frequencies.  The PRO2026A
has neither.

I am new to the scanning hobby and have just recently ordered a Realistic
Pro 2006 modified for full 800 MHz band reception.  I have the following
questions:

1. Since cellular phone reception will be possible with this scanner, is
it actually legal to own and operate it in Texas?
2. Is it legal to operate a mobile scanner in a motor vehicle in Texas?

I would also appreciate any suggestions you may have regarding interesting
Harris County frequencies to monitor.  Thanks for your advice.

No problem with owning; however, the ECPA, passed by the federal gov't, makes
receiving cellular communications illegal.

Yes.

Thank you all for your helpful replies!
It seems from the responses that I have encountered an "either-or" situation
with the 30-45 and the 66-88 Mhz bands.
P.S.: 'Netzel' I tried to respond to you directly, but the mail bounced.
My question was: Can the 6-8 dB problem be made up for by a tuned signal amp
or is the difficulty not just with gain?

I guess I should take the mods I find with a grain of salt?

P.S. Does any one know of any  sites where I can find more mods for the pro-34?
I know there is one somewhere on how to add 2,300 (?) channels.
Thanks again!

Or, I believe, unless you independently create the hardware/software to

The patent infringement only occurs if the code stream is decoded.  There 
are techniques currently in use that can following trunking without 
decoding the signal!  The developer is still being cautious, however.

After the GASS case, it is tough.  They will have a legal case, and they
will win.

Simple.

I doubt if even decoding the stream would be patent infringement. That is,
if the person developed their own independent method of doing the decoding.
After all, there is a lot of reverse engineering going on in the electronics
field, and I have not heard of any patent violation lawsuits.

What about a "magic" device that does not use any patented claims?

This is purely theoretical, but I am curious to find out if the very listening action
itself is considered "infringing." (i.e., is ANY technique infringing or is it the very
idea, the very act, of decoding considered actionable)

If you are not an attorney, I would GREATLY appreciate it that if you find out you
could let me know the answer...

I was told that if the data is decoded and then used in any way, that the device 
would be in violation of the patent.  I think it was Sam Dunham (Scan*Star) that 
said this.

Please help me find any info on modifying the volume and increasing
the battery life of the SC150 and the BC220XLT.  I use my scanners at
auto racing events and I need to get more oomf!  I know I can buy the
enhancements from some of the racing scanner companies but I prefer to
do it on my own.  Also, please let me know if there are any good, low
cost, low noise reduction headsets on the market.  Thanks in advance
for any help.

I currently own my second Uniden "BearTracker" scanner. The BCT7 is a
great scanner as it is pre-programmed with most common frequencies
selected by state.
The "secondary" frequencies you mentioned are the repeater or
"extender" frequencies used by transmitters in the patrol car itself.
The BearTracker monitors these frequencies and measures their strength
to sound an alarm when the car is within 3 miles. The traffic on these
frequencies is no different than what is on the main frequencies and
repeater, so the only benefit of monitoring is to determine if a patrol
car is in the vicinity.
The BearTracker scans over 1100 Highway Patrol frequencies, and
unfortunately Uniden does not provide a list of freqs scanned.

The 'secondary' frequencies are probably mobile extender frequencies, used
by Troopers to communicate through their mobile unit using a handheld. 
Freqs. vary by state, and sometimes by region within a state.  Usually in
a band far removed from the primary base-mobile freqs.  Ex: Illinois on
VHF-Lo uses 155.505 for mobile extenders.

Not a sure fire way to be 'alerted'  to their presence.  Some units are
activated only when the officer exits his vehicle.  Some (Wisconsin, for
example) seem to be on continuously.  And I'm sure they can be
de-activated manually.  Read recently that at least one state doesn't even
provide these units to it's officers.  (Which one(s) are those, BTW?)

They're low-power as well, so a 2-3 mile range would be maximum.

In short, they can be monitored on your run-of-the-mill scanner.  Just be
aware of the characteristics and limitations.  Let us know what states you
need frequencies for, and I'm sure someone will post the info.

What you should have done was call the Co. that shipped the radios to you,
as they are the people that must file the claim.

I order a The Secret Service video collection from Wireless.. this is a 4 
video tape set of the series that aired on The History Channel and A&E.

I asked if they could ship via US Postal service but they insisted on UPS.
After about a month.. I called to inquire on my order and they called me 
back (after tracing through UPS) and told me that the package had been 
delivered at such and such date at such and such time.



I said no..not at my house.

She said she would reorder it.  I asked her why they didn't request a 
signatue and she didn't know.  

I have had nothing but horrible experience with United Parcel Service and 
was told that in TEXAS it is bad all over.  I work for a company that can 
order items for people such as stereos, tv's, vcr's etc and people will 
call us inquiring about their package.. I ask them if they have looked 
all around their house.. and I explain to them that UPS has a habit of 
leaving a box under a flower bed or under a bush.. about 60% of the time
the people put me on hold and go outside and look and they find the 
package.
They just assumed that it would not be delivered w/o a signature.  I 
don't know if UPS fakes the signatures or what..or if they guarantee 
delivery with the shipper..but I would not ship with them if you have the 
choice. 

I have found the United States Postal Service to be far Superior.


this may only be happening in Texas but be aware.

#1. I ordered a portable scanner that was shipped "Signature Required".
After a week of frustrating phone calls, I discovered the driver had
left the scanner in the back of my pickup truck because I wasn't home.
(Somebody else found it before I did.)

#2. A computer system ordered for our office "disappeared" during
shipment.

#3. I purchased a computer system at an almost unbelieveable price from
a local classified ad. I found out later the seller is a UPS driver.

I agree with the flow of this posting.  UPS is now in the wrong business.  I have 
had them lie to me (oh yes, we can deliver your package to the controlled area you 
work in on a military base [not]), drop off signature required packages on the front 
door in an apartment complex (as well as my house now).  I've even had one of their 
stupidvisors try to tell me that the orignial carton with the original packing 
material for an electronic piece of equipment (previously shipped by UPS) was 
insufficient protection.  They then couldn't find the ruling in their operations 
manual.

Sorry UPS, but I go out of my way to have my packages sent USPS or Fed Ex. Too bad 
they don't read this mail group. :(

>> I tried to insure an airline ticket voucher I was shipping via UPS
and they said they could not insure it, because it was same as sending 
currency through the mail. They run the shittiest ship in the shipping
business. Also, not sure about other locations, but they treat their
employees like shit in their Minneapolis facility. My advice is not to 
ship via UPS until they clean up their act.

A while back I had three packages that were URGENTLY needed by the 
recepient.  On was fairly small, but the other two were close to the 
maximum size limit, so I measured to be sure they would fit.  I took them 
to a local UPS shipper, and left them.  Four days later, I was told by 
the recepient that one box had arrived, so I called UPS, and they said 
they only showed one shipped.  A call to the local store that offers UPS 
"service" disclosed that the pickup driver had said that the other two 
were too large.  I took my tape measure, and went to the store, and just 
happened to be there when the pickup driver came in. I asked why he 
hadn't picked them up, and he said that they were too big.  He showed me 
a chain that they use to measure items.  You measure around the end, and 
once along the length, and, at the time at least, the maximum total was 
70 inches, which is the length of the chain.  I measured the box in front 
of him, and it was 68 1/2 inches.  We then measured the chain and found 
it to be only 67 inches.  The UPS shipping service had no idea why I 
hadn't been called when the driver had refused the packages, and the 
driver still refused the packages.  I took them to the Post Office which 
had the same restrictions, and they took them and got the packages there 
in three days, one faster that UPS.

This is not the proper place to the complaining about UPS.  I
apoligize for my defense of the company.  I would like to address a
few of the problems that were mentioned in previous posts.

1.  About the classified ad placed by a UPS employee:  If you are
suggesting that it was advertising stolen merchandise, I would have to
disagree.  Theft at UPS occurs very little.  All UPS employees are
paid well and few would want to lose their job for a quick dollar.

2.  Rip in box caused by a forklift:  UPS doesn't use forklifts.  Rips
in boxes happen by a lot of other ways, but not by forklifts.  When I
get a COD package, just as when I buy something in a store, I inspect
the box carefully.  The person that paid $600.00 should have done the
same.  That doesn't mean that he or she should be responsible for the
damages, just means that the tear in the box could have been noticed.

3.  Size limits:  Either this person got seriously screwed, or his
complaint is WAY out of date.  Size limits are as follows:  Package
can be 108" in total length or 120" in length and girth combined.  No
package can weigh over 150 pounds.

4.  Airline tickets not being insured:  Will any delivery company
insure them?

As you probably have guessed, I work for UPS and don't mind sticking
up for my employer.  Some here said that they would never use UPS
again and would only use FedEx or the post office.  I assure you that
nobody is perfect.  I have nothing personally to complain about with
FedEx (I never use them obviously :>) but my mail service locally here
sucks.  I bet that somewhere, people never have problems with the post
office.  What I am getting at here is that whether you use FedEx, UPS,
or the USPS, at some point, something may happen that will not be to
your liking.  

I do agree though with the problems with the UPS phone service.  I
know that some of the people that answer the phones aren't very
professional, I deal with them a lot and they give me (UPS driver) the
run around also.

I hope that this may change a mind or two

I am sure you are correct in your defense of UPS for the most part.  However, most 
large companies have the bad apple who don't care about anything but the fast buck. 
I hope that UPS finds and gets rid of theirs.

Again, with any large enterprise, the firm tends to think it is better than it is 
and can do pretty much as it pleases.  I feel that UPS has become this way.

My overall experience with UPS has been less than favorable and I will let the laws 
of economics go to work.  I'll take my packages elsewhere.  I'll also pass along my 
comments to the address someone left me this morning.  I'll even tell them to see if 
this thread is still available for them to read.

I DON'T work for UPS but have dealt with them as a shipper for 
several years with my current and previous employers.  I have had
very little trouble with them.  In fact of the perhaps thousands
of packages I have sent since 1983, I have only had two packages
disappear.

UPS has a very diligent security program.  And when it comes to
stealing, employess get fired (at least) - no second chances.  

UPS moves more packages than the USPS or FedEx (and others)
combined.

I have learned from UPS insiders how to help make sure my packages
don't end up being the ones that get ripped off.  And this isn't
just for UPS shipments.

  - Don't send your mercahdise in too small a package.  I don't
put anything in a box that someone on a sorting belt could stick
in their pocket or down their pants.  You pay by weight, not size.

  - Don't ship boxes that have expensive looking logos or product
names on them.  UPS has caught lots of thieving employees with
"decoy" packages labeled to appear that might contain expensive
merchandise.  The return address should not say things like "Joe's
Super Expensive Radio and Stereo Mail Order Company".

For those of you that think FedEx is ultra reliable, you might 
want to reconsider that right now.  Your packages still might be
late.  Like all other shippers, this is their busiest season.
FedEx is having a labor problem with their pilots.  Though they
are still flying, FedEx pilots are not putting in more than the 
minimum required flying time.  That means a lot of packages could
be left behind when extra flights are needed for increased volume.

Another thing about mail order to protect you - request that 
your purchases be shipped "FOB destination".  This means that the
seller/shipper is responsible for the merchadise until it gets
to you.  If your merchandise disappears, its on them to find it
or replace it.

This thing has totally gotten off the scanner subject.  You can track
UPS packages at http://www.ups.com
FedEx packages at http://www.fedex.com

Your address seems to indicate that you are stationed at Wright Patterson AFB.
You work in a "controlled area?"  I assume, then, you've seen the aliens,

That'll teach you to send saucer parts via UPS!

I can't believe you can't see the conspiracy...  How do you think they get
their "next-day delivery" packages there so fast?

Almost all carriers (ex USPS) have "tracking software". You call their HQ 
and give them a number and it tells you everthing about whats going on 
with the package, even who signed for it and at what time. 

My personal preference is DHL or Airborne Express. If your shipping 
overseas DHL is the only way to go. Drug dealers prefer USPS, they're the 
only shippers that need a search warrant to open a package. The rest can 
do it at their discretion.

After reading all the wonderful comments about UPS, I had to post this 
article from the 7 Dec 95 Washington Post:  

United Parcel Service is taking on a whale of a job.

the package carrier will wing Keiko, the killer whale, from Mexico City 
to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.  For free.

The 21 foot long, 7000-pound of the "Free Willy" movies will travel in a 
fiberglass, steel and plywood box shipped in a C-130 Hercules transport 
plane, accompanied by veterinarians and trainers on the 8.5 hour flight. 
 He'll travel the last five miles to his hew home aboard a flatbed 
truck.  He's due to arrive on Jan 7.

"We pride ourselves on being able to handle any delivery" district 
manager Mike Piedra said.

OK folks - lets here YOUR comments.  This one is ripe for snide 
comments...  I'll go first:

What happens if they show up and no one is home?  Do they leave it in 
the bushes?  The neighbors pond (Mom - there's this giant fish in the 
pond...)

Just hope they don't leave it on the beach. Last time a whale was on the 
beach, Oregon DOT blew it smithereens with 1 1/2 tons of TNT.

For the stores themselves, you might give the business band a try,
starting with itinerant frequencies (151.625, 464.500 & 464.550 come
to mind).  Most that I've seen are on UHF, so look between 461.000 &
465.000, and between 466.000 & 470.000.  There are some "gaps" in
there for GMRS, manufacturing, paging and biomed, but that is where
you'll find most of them.

I don't know if you'll find specific frequencies for what you're
looking for here, but its a great resource;
http://www.cs.nmsu.edu:80/~thharrel/scanner/scanner.html.
Its a web site aimed at ham radio and scanning, and there is a section
with frequency lists for just about every state in the U.S.  Great
site.

Hope this helps.

I want to trade my AOR 1500 handheld with .5-1300mhz CONTINUOUS coverage. 
the handheld has a nicad battery pack, and is in good shape. It has 10 
search banks, incl. 1 Search & store bank, 1000 memories arranged in 10 
banks, it has a BFO for tuning SSB, and the tuning steps are 
PROGRAMMABLE, not SELECTABLE. That is, you can tune in any step from 
5-995khz in 5khz multiples. This is a VERY nice small, light handheld. It 
was over $400 new. I would trade for a 2006, in Mint shape. I'd also 
consider a Bearcat BC9000xlt in mint only, or a Yupiteru MVT-8000.

The ferries use 151.040 mhz for comms aboard the boats and for comms at
the docks.  In addition they use vhf ch 14 (156.70) to talk to the USCG VTS
in Puget Sound south of Whidbey Island and vhf ch 5 (156.25) in the north 
Sound and the San Juans.  They may also be using vhf ch 79 (156.975 ?) for
comms between the boats and the docks.

Yes, they have "scan".  :)

"Hyperscan" is just a faster scan speed.

The "Major Contributers" have started to receive the 1996 edition of
Police Call this week.  This means that Radio Shack will start getting
them in a couple weeks.

PC now has additional info in them, combineing the Beyond Police Call
concept with Police Call, albeit at a greater price...

Interesting.  I was a "Major Contributor" for 95 and didn't get a

Checked with a friend who owns a R/S dealer store, and he called his rep 
today, and he said that R/S had them, but that the 96 police call had 
been held up in QC, or, in english, quality control.  HMMmmm...maybe an 
interesting misprint or two???  They should be shipped soon.  Also, this 
year, RS gets 12.95 but they have split Beyond Police Call in to regions 
and included it in the same book so it should be worth it.


Also.....to the AOL'er who had the witty reply earlier in the thread-If

Not in Rochester, New York. :(

The stores here don't get the 96 ones until they completely exhaust the 95 
Police Call guides...... Which means most stores don't get them until Spring at 
the earliest.

I gave up on trying to get one in June of this year -- Why can't Radio Shack 
just stock the 96 Police Call guides when they come out -- don't (at least the 
Rochester stores) realize this stuff is updated every year?

Here is an interesting police radio code used by San Rafael, CA, PD.  If,
in Marin County, you ever hear the code, 7-7-7, listen up! It means that
the county is being closed off because a serious motor-vehicle pursuit is
in progress.  Units are stationed at 
        Freeway 101/Lucas Valley/Smith Ranch Exit, 
        Hwy 580/San Quentin Exit, 
        Wolf Grade/Sir Francis Drake, and
        101/Sausalito/Golden Gate Bridge Access. 

Since Marin County is a pennisula, no motor vehicle can get past these 
points without being spotted. The 7-7-7 code is announced by dispatch 
and coordinated, primarily, on the following freqs:
        San Rafael PD, 859.9625
        SRPD Command, 815.0375/864.0375 
        Marin County Sherriff, 39.24
        Marin Co. County Mutual Aid, 39.52 
        
I recently monitored a motor vehicle chase (the subjects had fled a
residence, jumped in their pickup, and were trying to outrun an officer). 
The San Rafael PD requested a 7-7-7. Each "road block" unit checked in at
station. Dispatch kept all units informed, right down to the last seconds
of the chase when the dispatcher told the commanding officer, "Unit xx is
lighting them up now."  The subjects were stopped at the Hwy 580 
exit for San Quentin. (Is that poetic justice?) 

Despite my luck with this 7-7-7 code, I'm pretty new to public safety
scanning and can't get all the 10-codes right for San Rafael, CA. 

I have Police Call, but the codes used in San Rafael do not conform to
those listed in Police Call for San Francisco. I know that different
cities use their own "version" of the 10-codes. If anyone has a list of
codes used by San Rafael, CA, would you please post or email it? I would
appreciate it. Thank you in advance, and happy scanning.

San Mateo County's equivalent is announced as "a county-wide code 666".

All San Mateo County police agencies receive this broadcast on their
primary channel.  It seems like it has priority override on whatever
regular transmissions might be in progress.  The code 666 broadcast
originates from the county dispatch center in the basement of the county
courthouse/jail in Redwood City.  After the details of the 666 are
announced, units taking the numerous pre-arranged posts throughout the
county are asked to switch to the green (channel).  The participating
units (cars) usually notify their own dispatcher which post they'll
be taking before switching to the "green".  The green channel is a
county-wide common channel set aside for such situations (chases or
"be-on-the-lookouts", or BOLs).  All San Mateo County police agencies
have the green channel on their radios.  Oh, the green channel is on
488.8875 MHz.

They did a county-wide 666 just last night.  The van believed to be
involved in the kidnapping of a young Hillborough girl was reportedly
seen headed southbound from the vicinity of SFO, as I recall.  Last
I heard, they didn't find the van (although I heard officers chase
down a few "possibles", and rule them out), but the girl was released,
and reported to be unharmed.

 is available, or could be made? I sometimes do not use it for a
 week or two at a time,and when I need it in a hurry of course the
 batteries have discharged.  I would like the ability to have alkalines
 for this reason.   Any Suggestions? I no the radio shack units can use
 either or.

I have a battery pack that I purchased to allow the BC200 XLT to run on 6
AA batteries.  It is taken apart and the batteries are put inside.

At the moment I can not recall where I purchased it.  I did purchase it
via mail order.

I will go over my books, etc and see if I can get you an address.

Try the Frequency Fan Club (1-800-RACE FAN) (a group dedicated mainly to 
monitoring auto racing).  The have a "AA" battery pack for the Uniden 
BC100, 200, 205, and the R4030 and R4020.  It cost $33 but it gives you 
30-40 hours on a set of batteries.  I love mine...

SCM = station class mark.  Sorry, I was just trying to save space.  The 
SCM is a group of bits set to tell the network, you guessed it, what 
"station class" the phone is.  The network needs to know if your phone is 
a mobile (3 watts), a transportable (some are only 1.5 watts), or a 
handheld (600mW) since it controls the phone's transmit power.  The network 
also needs to know if your phone is a 666 or 832 channel phone so it 
won't hand you off to channel you don't have.  The SCM also tells the 
network if you have VOX transmit.

I mentioned it because there are some "handheld" phone that 
try to go above 600mW if they are told by the network.  This can happen 
when the SCM is incorrectly set and the network thinks you're a 3 watt 
mobile.  The network says "go to this higher power level" and the dumb 
phone will try to do it.

And I know someone will ask... If you have one of those car kits with the 
amplifier that makes your handheld work as a three watt mobile, the SCM 
changes when you connect the phone to the kit.

I don't have the list of SCMs here.  I have them at work (in decimal, not 
binary).  I'll post them if anyone is interested.  But they are not of 
much use to scanner users.

my dad worked on aircraft (military) radar systems for about 15 years or
so, and 7 of the 10 guys he worked with all got cancer of one form or
another during about the last 5 years or so he worked with them.  i dunno
if there is a link, but 70% is a bit strange.  my dad never got cancer
that i know of; he passed away due to other causes a couple years after he
retired.  i'm sure these guys were real careful how they handled these
systems, so one has to wonder about stray radiation.  i dunno the freqs
they worked with, but it was F-14 if anybody knows these freqs.

    The power output of the types of radar that are used in fighter
jets is very high.  Most of the newer designs use a saftey interlock
that prevents the radar from functioning when the aircraft is on the
ground.  There are also reports of motocycle police officers getting
prostate and testicular cancer from leaving a powered up radar gun in
there laps.  All of these are examples of high levels of output power
from the transmitter.  RF energy is needs to be treated with care and
can be harmful at high levels of exposure.  0.5 to 3 watts is not a
high level of exposure but 100 to 10,000 watts is.  The higher
frequencies just make the effect more pronounced.

Hi , I was just wondering if any of you know a thing or two on ACARS , I know 
it's some sort of communication between airplane and ground , but I need to 
know more. The reason is I want to get the ACARS decoder, cause i'm a big 
plane listener, and want to know a bit more before I buy that decoder.
                             Thanks , Jeff Brunet

Javiation sure did a fantastic job placing my recent order...
They sent it out the day I called and I received it three days
later on the opposite side of the Atlantic.

Also, UPS did a great job on the delivery. I tracked my package
with the number Javiation (Johnathon) gave me. (http://www.ups.com)
I saw it leave Javiation's shop, got to the airport there, then to the
airport in the States, over to my city, then out for delivery. At
that point my "Directional Observation Group Systems" (DOGS) took
over and I knew when the UPS truck was coming up the street. :^)

Many thanks to you all!

Yes, get a computer interface for it and then get some software to
make changes.  There are some commecial packages available, or you
can use my freeware program for MS-DOS, ar8util.  You can ftp it
from ftp.specialix.com, it's in the pub/misc directory and it's
called ar8util.exe.  Just use it to download the system area from
to a text file and then use your favorite text editor to change the
line for address 7700 and the one after it to all F's.

Jim,

I wanted to tell you that I downloaded your software for the 8K about two 
weeks ago.  I am really happy that I have a great way to upload and 
download the frequency info in my scanner.

You'll probably hear from me in a more tangible way, shortly.

Thanks.

Harold

Whats going on is the physics of a "tuned" antenna.  And the physical
antenna can be different on different radios due to capacitors added in
the radio.  Also the cold hard fact is that NO radio is going th be the
best a ALL frequencies.  The AR8000 is the most versitle of the bunch but
requires an operator who wants to do more than "turn that knob to on".

A freind of mine told me that someone on IRC told him his AOR 8000
will follow a cell phone automatically when it switches to a 
different cell.  I assume this person also had a Scout connected to
the AR8000.  Is this true, or disinformation (which I suspect).

I can see how this might be partially true.  Assuming that both parties
are mobile in a vehicle.  As long as you follow closely the vehicle you
are monitoring and a stronger signal does not present itself, the Scout
should capture the new freq at the handoff.

If you have the AR8k & Scout setup up you could follow a cell call as it 
chnanged cells only if you were within range of the mobile phone, for 
example following in a car.

A friend of mine has the AOR8000 and scout setup.  It will work, but there
is one minor detail.  You have to be pretty close to a cell phone because
of the extreaamly low power, what you hear on you scanner is the feed from
the tower back to the handheld.  Also the ar8000 is cell blocked...  Any
mods?  let me know..

As I am seeing, usually at first only the LEAD agency goes on the system 
to work out the bugs.  After that more departments are added.  Budgets 
also comes into play since the 800 MHZ stuff is more costly.

Hi !
Here in Germany we have some of them in the CB (27Mhz) Band. Their
mics are very sensitive and a decent location gives them an out-
standing range. So, plenty of listeners.... :-)

I have a Bearcat 200 scanner which I use mainly for monitoring railroad 
frequencies for long periods of time in remote locations.  I have two of the 
Bearcat NiCad battery packs for the unit, but they do not hold a charge for 
very long at all (I know about NiCad "memorization").  Anyway, I was wondering 
if there is a AA or AAA battery pack available for this radio, either from 
Uiden or a third party manufacturer?

I have an AR8000 Wide range receiver and I am interested in getting an 
interface and computer software to reprogram it.

Which computer software is better Scannerwear or Scanstar?

Which interface is better CU8232, CX12AR or AR8000INF?

Thank you in advance

Based on their demos, I wasn't impressed with either of these programs.  
I would start with the AR8Util available as shareware from Compuserve 
(maybe others as well).  Sometime in early 1996, Radio Manager for 
Windows, also shareware, will be available to control the 8K. I think 
that program will be very good.

I'm using the CX12AR interface, and, as long as you have the right cables,
 it works very well.

Hope that input is helpful.

The Yupitera can function as both, but is not very sensitive as SW radio.

>Yes, I am a neophyte. :)

How much money do you have?
These are best in their price range.

$$$$$ - JRC535  ($1600)   Yupitera 7100 ($600)
$$$$  - Drake R8 ($1000)  PRO-2006 ($350)
$$$   - Sony 2010 ($350)  PRO-43 ($300)
$$    - Sony 7600G ($200) PRO-39 ($200)
$     - DX-375  ($70)     PRO-34 ($80 used in pawn store) 

I have a Sony 2010 bought used for $220.
I have a PRO-2006 bought at pawn store for $250.
I have a PRO-43 bought at pawn store for $175.

Pawn stores are good place, but takes a long time to spot radios there.

=================
When a neophyte asks this question, my answer is usually: "Buy the most 
expensive one you can afford. It'll be the best you can get."
However, I guess I'm mellowing out in my old age. ;-)

You need to buy seperate SW & scanners to get good quality in each. The 
handheld all-in-one units simply have too many compromises to be the best 
in both worlds.

As for which one is best, there is no one answer to that. The reason there 
are so many to choose from is because they all do things a little 
differently. It's up to you to determine which one fits *your* needs. The 
only way to do that is with experience.
That means, dive in! Get a scanner and/or a SW radio, and start listening. 
See what you like.
In scanners, if you like the normal, public safety stuff, you'll need a 
unit that receives 800 MHz, for the trunked systems. If you like business 
band stuff, 800 MHz may not be that important in your area. Military 
aircraft require something that receives that band (few do).
In shortwave, again, the choice will depend on your areas of interest. 
Utility (civilian/military), MWDX, Tropical band, foreign Broadcast? Each 
of these areas can color your choice.

Also, keep in mind that anyone who tells you, "Buy the Turbo-Channel 5000" 
is telling you that because he likes the Turbo-Channel 5000, not because 
it's the best one for you.

A little experience will make a lot of difference. It takes time, and we 
can't give it to you (experience is what you get instead of what you 
really wanted ;-))

What's a good beginner setup? As for SW, there are a lot of used portables 
available. Sony, Sangean, Radio Shack (yeah, I know, but the later DX 
series are Sangean models, and pretty good), Grundig are all good units, 
as a rule.
In scanners, you'll see a lot here for sale. Steer away from the icom R-1 
if you can (expensive, and too sensitive for its own good). Triple 
conversion is better than double conversion, and more channels are better 
than fewer.

Hope this helps a little.

I have yet to get a good answer to this question: why do scanners omit
certain frequencies?  I realize the legal impediments (like cellular), but
why make a scanner that will recieve _above_ the Military aircraft band,
and _below_ it, but block out the actual band?

I've checked most of the major frequency archives, but haven't found
anything on Birmingham, Alabama.  Does anyone know where there's a good
frequency list for this area?  I'll be going back there for Christmas.

I also remember seeing a good, comprehensive cordless phone frequency
list, and the archives only have (if they have it at all) half-page or
seven-line versions.  Anyone still have that?

There are dozens of variations of that story running around, but the earliest

First, a correction to my post. It actually was in 1970.

Wrong.

I have a videotape of the broadcast coverage by KATU TV in Portland Oregon.
They reran on the 25th anniversary of the event. It occurred near Florence.

There may be many variations - but there is one actual and true event. 
The reporter covering the story was Paul Linnman, and the engineer in
charge of the "demolition" for the Oregon Highway Department was George
Thornton. 500 pounds of dynamite was used, which turned out to be
insufficient. They ended up burying the hulk.

I don't doubt that this happened, but I fail to see the logic.  If they were 
concerned that your radio contained an explosive, it could blow up just as 
easily in the baggage compartment.    Makes no sense.

I think airport security is a minimum wage job...thus the logic 
factor:
If it blows up in the passanger compartment then it's the fault 
of the consession company paying folks minimum wage to do 
security checks.  If it blows up in the baggage compartment it is 
not their fault.

You may think that it is harmless to sneek a listen, but it is not.
There are other people, the rest of the plane, that could care less
about your scanning habbits.  What they do care about is maximum air
safty.  Granted the plane more than likly you will not crash if you sneek
one, but the folks at the flight control station will not be happy when

a radio over there.  All combined can cause problems.  This is a tested
fact.  I am shure you know what happens when you turn on your shortwave
radio near a computer.  

What I think is funny is this whole thing of computers, radios, and
electronics in general being turned off when in flight came about the
same time the air telephones where installed.

This is outright unwarranted hysteria. Keep in mind that a number of
airlines allow scanner usage in flight - although they prohibit it during
takeoffs and landings. I suspect even this prohibition will go away in a
few years.

It probably depends.... I did carry my portable scanner/Ham 2M on a commercial 
flight once and they never said anything to me about it. But that was before all
the new security precautions went into place.  Hope this helps.

With me (in Portland, OR) they just saw it sitting there on top with
all of my clothes and such, and then told me I could go. They never
asked me to take it our, turn it on, or anything like that.

In SFO, they didn't even ask me to open my bag.

You know what I have to say about this. If the plane is so delicate that
a transistor radio can take it out, what does a terrorist need with bombs
and guns....sheeez. I have two Uncles that both pilots (one is both a
comercial AND an F-15 pilot). Both say that RF interference is highly
overrated. In fact the Airline that I flew on ALLOWS the use of scanners
and other electronic divices during flight, just not during take offs and
landings.

No TRANSMITTERS at all are allowed, so that means no cell phones.

This is not true. Electronic devices were band due to the air crash caused
several years ago that was linked to an FM transistor radio being used by
a child on board (this was over 10 years ago). Since then the FCC has
tightened restrictions on interference an electronic device can exmit, and
the FAA has left it pretty much to individual airlines to make the judgment
call.

Most airline now currently allow the use of a great many electronic devices
during flight (although most still restrict their use during TAKE-OFF's and
LANDINGS).

The funny thing is, transistor radios are STILL prohibited :-) Probably a
holdback from that airline crash oh those many years ago.

  EXCEPT ON DELTA AIRLINES!  Delta Airplanes SPECIFICALLY says it is
OK to listen.  Actually, you can listen on any of the airlines if the
Captain gives you permission to listen, but that is generally
unlikely.

I just recently did this (trip to SF to see a 49er's game). In Portland, OR
on the way down there, they asked to look in my bag, they saw the scanner,
and then just let me go (probably looked like a bomb to them on their screen
with all of its electronics).

In SFO (on the way home), I went through the X-Ray, and they just let me
pass without looking in the bag. Personally I would think that the larger
airport in San Francisco would have been more strict then the one in
Portland, but maybe in SFO they are used to seeing all kinds of things on
their X-Ray machine.

It really wasn't very worth while, since the metal skin on the airplane
blocked all but the strongest of signals when scanning during flight (in
fact I got zilch until we were on final approach). I got better reception
in the terminal.

I never experienced problems in security. Although the airlines won't accept 
the scanner turned on during flight. It "may interfere with sensible 
navigation equippemnt". So, you´d better have it turned off. You want to 
arrive at your destination, won't you.

You might want to use the scanner at the airport. That's more than fun.



Have fun,

The restrictions probably won't go away anytime soon.  The tighter 
restrictions have come down with support of the FAA in just the
past couple of years.

The FAA used data from RTCA, Inc., Special Committee 156, Document
number RTCA/DO-199, Volumes 1 and 2 entitled "Potetial Interference
To Aircraft Electronic Equipment From Devices Carried Aboard".

The information in this report contributed to FAA Adivisory Circular
91.21-1.  FAR 91.21 is the rule prohibiting use of portable
electronic devices on board aircraft.  The use of any device other
than those specified in the rule is subject to the operator/PIC
making the determination that it will not cause interference - if
have a doubt, they will prohibit it's use.
 
> Now, there is a reason why cellular phones are not allowed to be used,

FCC rules, part 22.911, prohibit the use of a cell phone on board
ANY aircraft while airborne.  This is because the cellular service
is a land based system and airborne use causes harmful interference
to the network(s).

However, because a cellular phone is a transmitter, it is a 
prohibited device under FAR 91.21.  Since the airlines are not
able to get reasonable assurance that they won't cause trouble.
In AC 91.21-1 the FAA has told airlines not to allow any 
transmitters to used on board.

Can you say that about all scanners?  My old PRO-33 causes
interference to my 2 meter ham gear when scanning multible bands.
I have never used it aboard an airplane.

You and I have more leeway when we are making part 91 flights.  We
watch the portable equipment, we watch the plane's equipment, and
we don't always have to put the same faith in the radionavigation
equipment when VFR.  I have never had a problem with my ham gear
on when I am flying either - you don't use your ham gear when you're
IFR, do you?  Airliners always fly IFR.  See 97.11 regarding the
use of ham gear on IFR flights.

Just wanted to point out that there is some documentaion and
regulation behind what the airlines are doing.

Too bad you deleted the statement to which I was commenting. You also
misread what I wrote.  I was NOT saying anything about scanner interference,
but commenting on the amount of interference generated by my computer. Of
course, it is only a sample of one computer, and most are probably not
shielded for rf as well as mine is.

I obviously cannot speak about all scanners, as I only have a few models.
However, none of mine (all Radio Shack models) interfere with my 2 meter
transceiver. But then, I do not use the scanning function of the transceiver
either - the rig is very poor at that, and is not really designed for it.

Sure, I have. However, I would not get into a longwinded discussion.
For one thing, there is not time to do that, when IFR under zero
visibility conditions.

Sure, there are a number of reasons that the regulations are there.
They may even be worthwhile.  However, that does not mean that they
are necessary.

    I'm about to fly somewhere and I want to bring my scanner and my
Radio Shack frequency counter on the plane. I do this because: 1- I
like my scanner and my frequency counter and I know from experience how
many creative ways baggage handlers can break them. 2- I intend to use
my frequency counter before the plane takes off to get it's frequency
and then to scan it later.

    My question is, will the x-ray people get suspicious with the
combination of the two? Also, should I keep them in a carry-on bag or
keep them in thier belt attached carring cases? Another question is,
how much(if any) interferance will the scanner or frequency counter
cause to the plane's navigational instruments.

                 BUYING A USED SCANNER RADIO

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

 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.

                             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 wide  coverage  base  made  by  GRE.  |
 1,000  channels,  but  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.  Wastes time scanning empty  channels.   See  |
 "The  Radio  Shack  PRO-2035 - How Does It Compare With the
 PRO-2006?," by Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,  in  Monitoring  Times,
 January 1995.

 PRO-2040: late  1995  vintage  100  channel  base  made  by  |
 Uniden.   Fair  performance,  but  minimal image rejection.  |
 Local oscillator harmonics account for spurious  responses,  |
 e.g.,  reception of cellular telephone calls in the 460 MHz  |
 UHF-high band.  Scans over 40 channels/sec.  Can  lock  out  |
 up   to  50  channels  from  search.  "Soft"  on/off  power  |
 switching via keypad.  See "The Radio Shack  PRO-2040,"  by  |
 Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, December 1995.       |

 PRO-2042: 1996 version of the wide coverage  PRO-2035  base  |
 with  improved  firmware  and  amber display.  Made by GRE.  |
 1,000 channels,  but  cumbersome  100  channel  bank  size.  |
 Tuning  knob.   NFM  selectivity  is  still  a  problem but  |
 improved over PRO-2035.  10 linkable search  banks.   Smart  |
 Auto Store feature stores the unique frequencies.  Can lock  |
 out up to 200  frequencies  from  search.   Query  facility  |
 indicates if and in what channel a frequency is programmed.  |
 Scan skips over empty  channels  automatically.   Can  sort  |
 memories  by frequency within a given bank.  Overall, a top  |
 grade scanner and second only to Uniden/Bearcat  BC9000XLT.  |
 See review in upcoming Monitoring Times.                     |

 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.

 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.

Table 1.  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 desirable.  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.

 Repair service for the  Plectron  P1  and  R700  models  is
 offered by:

In the People's State of California, just about anything is possible. It 
often appears that the legislature is working on making everything illegal
that is not already illegal.

There is no California law prohibiting the use of a scanner in a
vehicle, but there is a City of Los Angeles law in the Municipal 
Code book Section 52.44 which states " Willfully listening to police
and fire departments' portable radio messages - prohibited. "  This
only applies to listening of any Los Angeles city radio communications
unless a permit has been obtained by the Chief of Police.  The police
usually use this law only against gang-bangers and other hoodlums.

Perfectly legal, handheld or mounted. Been pulled over with it in my car, 
even heard my own plate being run. Radar detectors are also legal, or 
every electronics store in the state wouldn't be seeling them.

I wonder how they make charges under this section stick.  They
can't keep people from monitoring private land mobile
communications.  That would be contrary to the communications
act.

However it is illegal to use a scanner or police radio to aid in
the commiting of a crime - ie: monitoring the whereabouts of the
police to avoid detection.

 Most county governments in Ca. have a similar law. The only exceptions 
are agents of foriegn governments, diplomats and the like - and Amateur
Radio Operators, who may listen to anything except cellular phone stuff
under the Electronic Privacy Act of 1984.

 So if you dont wanna hafta beg a favor from the Chief of Police, get an
Amateur Radio License!

be the same allocation we use in Canada.  I've been searching around the

allocation list.  NO JOY!!  It's getting irritating.  I mean, this

I travel the stretch of Hwy 15 from Riverside, Ca to San Diego, Ca. and
need the frequencies that the CHP uses for communications between the
units on the ground and the CHP airplane.

Thanks in advance.

That would be for one side of the conversation ( I think ) as the
airplane uses AM transmissions in the 120 Mhz range down to the
mobiles.  I heard the AM transmissions when living in Norther
California and driving the 680 highway through Fremont on the way to
Tracy, Ca., but don't have the frequencies used here on I-15 in the San
Diego area.

Most commonly they use the BLUE pair of frequencies when working

I think it's still the blue channel.  Simplex (car to car, or in
this case, plane to car - car to plane).  It's FM.  I haven't
listened to them do air work for quite a while - but I used to
hear the plane's side of the conversation in Pleasanton when they
were working the Altamont Pass and central valley.

They cannot use 120MHz (aircraft frequencies) to communicate with
cruisers on the ground.  They are still bound by FCC rules and
such operations would be in violation of part 87.

 I would immagine that they would use the same 42 mhz frequencies as
the mobile units use.. Unless CHP is doing a mutual aid and the chopper
can goto "ANY" frequency they want.. From 42-44 MHZ, 140-174, 450-480,
500-512 (For LAPD) They also have 800 MHZ capabilities.. Not sure if it
is just conventional or trunked? So dont be supprised if you hear a CHP
helicopter or any law enforcement helicopter on any frequency.. Exludes
Amatuer Frequencies, unless the pilot is licensed :)

Your coax cable can be any length you desire *if* your antenna
provides a reasonable match at the frequency of interest.  If you plan
to monitor outside of the designed frequency range of the antenna,
then coax length (as far as number of wavelengths) can make a
difference.  However, general rule of thumb, if your outside of the
designed frequency range of the antenna, then expect poorer quality
signal reception.  In most cases, it won't be too bad unless the
signal is marginal.

No, Roland the length is not critical.  You did not say what freqs you intended
to use.  But dont make the length excessively longer than needed, and use low-loss
coax if possible.

        Evening to all.
                        Would anyone happen to have, or know
        where I might find tech info and *mods* for a scan-
        ner, COBRA model  SR 900 ?  Perhaps there is a URL
        that could lead to this info.  COBRA is (or used to
        be) manufactured by Dynascan Corporation, Chicago.
        Also I stongly imagine that there are a lot of other
        makes out there that are identical, electrically, to
        this COBRA model.

                        Thanks, and  73s all around.

I would not place any important parts of my anatomy on the chopping 
block but as far as I can recall the SR900 was the same as the Bearcat 
BC175XL but badged COBRA.  If there is anything people have done to them 
you might find more details under the Bearcat titel.

There are two problems with doing this:

    1)  You will lose at least 3 db in the splitter.

    2)  The discone will still pick up some signal from stations
        below 170 MHz and the other antenna will pick up some signal 
        from stations above 170 MHz.  Depending on the phase relationship
        of the signals as they reach the splitter, the signals will
        either combine in strength or cancel each other.

Instead of a simple splitter, you'd be better off using a 75 ohm VHF/UHF
separtor-joiner designed for MATV (Master Antenna) use.  These cost under
$2 and look exactly like passive 2-way splitters, except that one input is
labelled VHF and the other input is labelled UHF.  They are desinged for
combining separate UHF and VHF television antennas into a single line.
UHF signals will not pass through the VHF input and vise versa, so phase
cancellation between the two antennas will not be a problem.  The insertion
loss on the VHF side is typically around 0.5 db and around 0.8 db on the
UHF side (up into the 900 MHz range).  The ones I use have a crossover point
somewhere around 400 MHz, which means that signals in the 225-400 MHz range
are received through the VHF antenna rather than the UHF antenna.  You'll
have to decide if that's acceptable for your application.  (In fact, when
listening to that range, I generally play it safe and remove the thing from
the line altogether.)

These parts are in the Marlin P. Jones catalog if you can't find them locally.
(Radio Shack does not have them.)  Be sure to get the 75 ohm version with
"F" connectors.  Avoid those which use 300 ohm twin lead for any inputs or
outputs.

                                                     Greg

Greetings Scannists,

   I had a thought and wondered if anyone had any experience or 
comments.
   I have a mil surplus discone which, based on its dimensions, 
probably has a lower cutoff of somewhere in excess of 170 mhz, far 
too high to ignore for my 25 to 545 mhz scanner.
   What if I used a cable TV splitter in reverse (the passive ones 
are bi-directional) to combine by discone with some other antenna 
more suitable for 25-170 mhz?  And while am at it, why not put a 
10 db or so wideband pre-amp between the combiner and scanner (at 
the antenna end) to help overcome feedline and combiner losses?
   I can't be the first one to think of this one, and probably not 
the first to try.  Any experiences out there?  Advice?

                                    Thanks, 
                                     Dennis

Hi,

Can anyone supply me with freqs that the courier companies use for their 
drivers and dispatchers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area? Especially for 2 
courier companies:

1)DHL Worldwide Express
and
2)TNT Express Worldwide

I'd appreciate even a range of freqs that this industry uses so I can 
narrow down my search!

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

The State of Delaware is on its way to switching the entire states services, from volunteer
fire companies to state/local highway departments, over to a new 800MHz trunked system.

The City of Wilmington already uses an older 800MHz trunked system, but I am told that they
too will be integrated into this new statewide system.

I have been told that this new system is going to be digital and that the home scanner listener
will not be able to hear any recognizable messages.  Also, the repeater systems that rebroadcast
the Wilmington Fire Department (154.965) and other volunteer fire company freqs will not be 
switched over to operate on this system.

Is anyone familiar with this system or systems like this?

Is this at all true, and if so, are there scanners that can be used with this system?

There's a good side to this (maybe more than one!).  First, many places
that install trunked systems believe that their systems are digital and
are therefore "un-scannable".  Fortunately, this is a figment of the
agency's imagination.  Off the top of my head, I can only think of one 
major systems that is digital, New Hampshire.  All the the others that I 
have heard of that are "going digital" in fact went trunked.  Of course, 
YMMV.  

Second, reports indicate that fully digital systems may not be ready for 
prime time, ie problems with digital modualtion.  We'll see.  

Is Delaware getting a Motorola system or Ericsson ("EDACS")?  

For those interested in trunking, see http://comp.uark.edu/~plaws/scan/ 
(note: M-F daytime access is sloooow).  Also, I'm looking for good 
articles on EDACS (and, what the hey, LTR) to add to my archives.

Pick up a copy of Beyond Police Call for that region of the United States. If 
you can't get one in your home town for that region, maybe go to a Radio Shack

Why wouldn't they want you to have a scanner?  Don't want you listening in
on Mickey & Minnie's baby monitor, or just paranoia?

I've spend two one week periods there and never went anywhere without
my 2-way ham radio on my belt...  All rides - any place and was never
asked anything about the radio..  The radio is a W2A which recieves
from about 70 Mhz to 950 Mhz and puts out five watts.    I think
either the policy has changed in the past six months or someone is
pulling someone's putz here...  I do know that they "say" they welcome
ham's and I think they even have a repeater on the premises (ham.)

Does anyone have a fix for a dim lit display on a Pro 2004 from the
Shack.  It was fine when new but now has become dim like the dimmer
switch is depressed and when it is it looks like the lite is out.  Any

The only fix is replacing the display. Radio Shack is out of them, so you
would have to get them elsewhere.

Hey, this sounds a little like Toronto.  A couple of years ago an Asian

process of trying to reduce crime in Chinatown and the Asian community.  
A LOT of people got VERY upset that he was targeting Vietnamese 
bogus-refugee and organized-crime members as the culprits in the majority of 
the crimes. (extortion, narcotics, gaming, robberies etc.).

Now it is not allowed to be releasing crime stat's based on race!

I find it hard to believe that you can solve a problem if you can't 
legally identify it.  

However, scanner listeners are much more able to put their finger on the 
"pulse" of what goes on around their city.  

In my part of town the biggest problems seem to be caused by 
white-males and involve alcohol and some sort of physical abuse.  

I guess Mr. Rogers never owned a scanner......

So here I am thinking that it's the protocol that is making this demo 
pager I have work so well.  Perhaps the carrier just has real good 
coverage at our bay area facilities.  All of the other carriers have a 
lot of trouble reaching us in certain places - like data centers and 
basements - And yes, we NEED the coverage in these areas.  This is one of 
the reasons we have been running our own 900 system in the bay area for 
several years - as well as local mountain tops, we have PURCs at our 
major facilities so we get paged no matter what kind of "bunker" we may 
be in.

But times are changing and we can't justify the cost of building out the 
system to satisfy employees that want there pagers to work at Lake Tahoe 
and the rest of the country.  So now we are looking outside.

Thanks for the info.

Yes.  For one way messages it works great.  The handshaking between the 
network and the pager assured 100% delivery of messages to the pager.  
However I noticed that I would often get one message several times, which 
was sometimes annoying.  And we found that replies only work about 50% of 
the time at best - but the inbound messages are sent from the pagers 1 
watt transmitter (take a guess on ERP with an internal antenna) as 
opposed to what, 500 watts ERP from the Skytel transmitters?

Interesting to note something else about the skytel system too...the two way
format is best designed to work on about a 15 to 1 ratio of receivers to
transmitters..here in the triangle of nc, the ratio might be 5 to1!! Motorola
has just recalled all of the "tango" pagers since they have found that the
battery life if you are on the fringe of the systems can be as low as 1 1/2
days!!!!!!!!!!! apparently motorola knew about some of this before and now
have no comment other than that they will have new units in customers hands
by january.....

I have a Rat Shack PRO 2026 scanner for sale.  I bought it approx. 4 
months ago.  It has spent the entire time hanging from the mobile mount 
under a shelf here in the shack.  It's like new except for a little dust 
:-)  It is cell capable but I haven't cut the jumper yet.  I need $175 + 
$5 shipping. (dust optional)

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.   
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz (continuous without blockage) and receives in
WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a
10 band search function, pass memory function, and other goodies found in
high-end scanners.   
 
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:   
Channel No.        Band  
  
1                        FM  
2                        Air V  
3                        Air U  
4                        Ham V  
5                        Fire  
6                        Marine  
7                        Police U  
8                        Ham U

10                      PRNSL (903.0375-904.9875)   
 
Of course, you can change factory settings. It also has a battery save
function.

Please help me!  I bought a pro-43 the day before yesterday and it worked 
terrifically. So, yesterday, I figured I'd try the mod on it.  I 
disassembled the unit just as the faq describes.  I unsoldered the metal 
plate covering the CPU and then I removed the D$ and moved it to D3.

When I put it all back together, I found out that I couldn't use the 
following keys ( 2,5,8,.)  directly down the center of the keypad. Every 
other key works but those. So, I took it all apart again and moved the 
diode back, thinking that maybe that would undo my problem, but it didn't.

So, now I'm stuck with a scanner that I can't program new #'s into or use 
the direct button to find new frequencies...  Please, someone help me and 
tell me where I went wrong? I paid too much to have it taken to the shop so 
soon!

Some of the theories I've gotten so far are: 1) solder splatter got on 
something. 2) Putting the metal plate back in place caused something to 
contact.

First of all, was this an early model 43 (no "A" prefix on s/n)?  Your 
post didn't make clear which diode you unsoldered.  I can't remember for 
sure, but I believe D5 was the one to pull, and it did not need to be 
reinstalled to complete the mod-just removed. Finally, did you unsolder 
the diode or pull it off.  I fixed one once that had been pried on.  The 
board has another trace under the diode, and when it was broken, the 
bottom row of keys quit.  Fixing this one required purchasing a new board 
from RS, cost about $80.00.  Also, you didn't unscrew the bottom board 
from the case, did you?  These K'bds are sensitive to dust and if this 
was opened, it may not be contacting.

Any idea why they would put a diode in there to slow down scan speed? 
this doesn't make any sense to me.  do you ahve a 2006?  does it cause any
problems?  just wondering.  i've got one plus schematic.  schematic didn't
make any reference to the speed one, and just said for the other that US
required it, so figured that was the cell one.  thanks.

Have you ever modified a 2006?  I have, two of them. The diode that restores
cellular coverage also enables the 30 KHz spacing.  The other diode speeds
up the scan speed.  I do not recall any place to add a diode between the
other two.

will see cell and a noticible improvement in scanning speed....

Anyone in Honolulu? Check out 866.130/ 867.130.  Engineers from the 
mainland have been installing a trunking system for the last two 
weeks.  You can monitor them setting up the various networking 
hardware and software.  Lots of technical chat goes on that I don't 
understand.  I hope this isn't the new HPD system.  Listen and get 
back to me if you know anything.

Hi Reid:

yes what you are hearing is the New Erickson EDACS system being operated 
in the NON digital mode.  When they are in DIGITAL, we hear open squelch 
noise only.

I was invited to the EDACS Road Show held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village 
a couple years ago.  They showed a bearcat 800 MHZ scanner and the EDACS 
operating in DIGITAL.  Non of the comm was understandable.

Current Plans call for only the Honolulu Police Department to be 
initially on.  As funds becomes available, other local & state agencies 
will migrate.

        So when is EDACS sopposed to be completed?  From what I hear it's 
quite an expensive system and as much as they'd like to allow other 
stations to share in with this system, it'll probably some time before 
other stations receive this "gift".  How will this effect the local news?
First the police go digital, who next?  Will scanners be obsolete within
the next 8 years?

        Thank god we're blessed with cell in very high 800's, but then 
again I wonder how long'll that last.

Right now I have an ICOM IC-R1 and it works well, but I'm considering a 
new scanner purchase that will better serve my needs.  I'm leaning 
towards the new AOR AR-2700 and I'd like to know from someone who has one 
or is very up on the tech specs of this scanner to answer some 
questions.  Specificly I need to know if:

-can the AR-2700 can have a tone board mod done on it to ignore trunking 
beep?.
-can it be cell modified? (not super-critical for me)
-how's the sensitivity and how fast does it scan?
-it has 10 banks x 50 channels, can I engage several banks at once to 
scan, but exclude others, or can I only scan a single bank or all banks?
-power drain from the batteries?  It takes AA's, how long will AA nicads 
last?
-any general opinions good or bad about this scanner, or would an AR-8000 
be a better choice?

         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,  published  each  year in 9 regional  |
 volumes by Hollins Radio Data, and sold at Radio Shack  and  |
 larger book stores for under $13.  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.  The  1996  |
 edition  contains  selected  business frequencies, too, but  |
 callsigns are listed only for local government  and  public  |
 safety licensees.

 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.

 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 Guides (P.O. Box 525-NS, Londonderry,  |
 NH 03053).  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,
 companies,  and  organizations  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.

 Industrial customers use RadioMap  reports  to  survey  the
 "radio  environment"  prior  to  installation of radios and
 wireless microphones at customer sites.  RadioMap  is  used
 by  the  maritime  and broadcast industries, as well as ham
 radio operators to solve  intermod  interference  problems,
 and  has  been  very  favorably  reviewed  in  RCMA Scanner
 Journal, American Scannergram, and USSN.

 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.   For  an additional $4.00, I will include a
 custom frequency allocation histogram,  a  0  -  1,000  MHz
 "spectrum  analyzer-like" display showing spectrum usage by
 the transmitters in the map coverage area.  Send  check  or
 money  order payable to Bob Parnass for $25.95 for standard
 or  $29.95  for  deluxe  RadioMap  report  with  histogram.

        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  50
 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

                    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, another spectrum analyzer connected  to  a
 receiver  IF  stage,  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  earlier, 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.

Does anyone have any opinions on the IC-R1?  What is a good price to pay 
for it?

I had one a while back, and with a cheap, low-gain antenna it works well. 
It suffers from intermod, and I'm sure as with any R-1 post, you will get 
alot of people badmouthing it. It is a good scanner, however, for it's 
size. $200-$250 is fair, depending on the accessories it has. My advice 
to you, though, is to use only the original antenna, or get a little 
"stubby-duck" antenna like that on the opti scout, otherwise due to the 
high sensitivity, and lack of filtering it will have a lot of intermod. 
What can you expect, though, for a scanner the size of a candy bar?

                  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 second rate.              |

 Deluxe scanners can be controlled and/or  downloaded  by  a  |
 personal  computer,  a feature which appeals to a small but  |
 growing number of 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  BC9000XLT  base  and  |
 BC3000XLT  portable  work  very  well  and  are  my current  |
 favorites.

 Considered by many as the best scanner ever made,  the  400
 channel  Radio  Shack  PRO-2006  was  replaced  by the 1000  |
 channel PRO-2035, which was replaced by the PRO-2042.   The
 portable Radio Shack PRO-62 and PRO-60 are good performers.  |
 All five 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:


        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  |
 warranted, 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,  |
 published each year in 9 regional volumes by Hollins  Radio
 Data,  and sold at Radio Shack and larger book stores.  The  |
 1996 editions  contain  selected  business  listings,  too,  |
 although callsigns are listed only for local government and  |
 public safety licensees.

 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  late 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   the  |
 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.   Early  issues  disappointed
 experienced scanner hobbyists, but it now has a good column
 on scanner  modifications  and  has  greatly  improved  its
 coverage  of east coast frequencies since merging with NESN
 (North East Scanner  News).   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,
 companies,  and  organizations  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.

 Industrial customers use RadioMap  reports  to  survey  the
 "radio  environment"  prior  to  installation of radios and
 wireless microphones at customer sites.  RadioMap  is  used
 by  the  maritime  and broadcast industries, as well as ham
 radio operators to solve  intermod  interference  problems,
 and  has  been  very  favorably  reviewed  in  RCMA Scanner
 Journal, American Scannergram, and USSN.

 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.   For  an additional $4.00, I will include a
 custom frequency allocation histogram,  a  0  -  1,000  MHz
 "spectrum  analyzer-like" display showing spectrum usage by
 the transmitters in the map coverage area.  Send  check  or
 money  order payable to Bob Parnass for $25.95 for standard
 or  $29.95  for  deluxe  RadioMap  report  with  histogram.
 Include  your  name,  address,  and telephone number, along
 with center location (nearest intersection of 2 streets, or
 latitude  &  longitude)  and  mail  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 $27.00 per year, which includes the monthly
 Scanner Journal, approximately 50 pages  in  8-1/2"  x  11"
 format.  Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges, there
 is coverage of HF utility stations below 30 MHz.  The  RCMA
 web page is at http://comp.uark.edu/~plaws/rcma/.

 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.

 All meetings are held on Saturdays at  locations  announced  |
 in advance.                                                  *

The Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT is my favorite portable scanner.
I've found it to have superior (but not perfect) image rejection
and intermod immunity.  It's probably one of the easiest portables
to use and its 20 x 20 memory organization is a good match
for the way I program frequencies.   Its high speed, smart Auto Store,
and reasonable bank size are the 3000's strongest features.

From the FAQ, "Buying a Used Scanner" --

 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.

Have 2. One is for mobile use the other is for bed time. Of all the
scanners I have owned---the 3000 is the best. Rejects intermod like a good
base scanner even with a discone at 70 ft. Great sensitivity- pulls in all
the uhf and vhf as good as the best.
With headphones or earphones audio sound clear and not so tinny. Back lit
green
screen. Super fast scanning, 400 channels 20 banks and you dont have to 
adjust the squelch all the time !
    If you must have one that is open for cellular- call Javiation in
England they
sell the 3000 for around $ 400 US and when UPS delivers , you will have to
pay a
small duty tax.
    All in all in my humble opinion- the best hand held scanner out there
right now
is the bc 3000.

it to his home on Friday of the same week.

About how long does it take an order from Javiation to get to the States? 
(I'm in AZ.)  I ask because I'm leaving for Christmas on the 20th and
don't want to get the package sent here if I'll be gone by then.  I'm also
wondering whether the rush of Christmas packages will tie up the mail and
make the delivery even slower.

Soren,

When I purchased my AR8000 from Javiation it arrived two days after they 
shipped it.  And, I was able to track it on the internet via the UPS Web 
page.  At 1:25 pm on the second day I saw that it had just been delivered.
  I called my wife and told her that I knew the package had just been 
delivered.  She couldn't believe that I could know about a package, 
delivered ten minutes earlier.  Computers do have some uses.

I don't know how Christmas delivery will be.  But, maybe you'll hit the 
two days as well.

Good luck.

Harold

        Hello,

        Is there any individual or organization that is currently fighting
        the fact that it is now a "federal offense" to listen to cellular
        phone calls?  If so, what is the status?  Who is it?  On who's
        behalf are they acting?

        I would think it is fair to assume that the cell companies payed
        Congress to create this law, but is it true?  Where is the evidence?

        I have heard now that in some *states* it is illegal to listen
        to cordless phones.  Is this true?  If it is, I thought only the FCC
        had the power to create such laws, not the state.

        Comments welcome, thanks.

Nope. Why bother? There is no way it can be enforced.

It is illegal in ALL states in the US - due to a fairly recent modification
of the ECPA.

Some states have passed such laws, and most of them have not been tested in
court.  Also, many of them use the term "maliciously", or some other weasel
word.  In other words, they want people to think it is illegal at all times,
when it actually is not.  Note that this only applies to state laws about
listening to frequencies other than celluar or cordless - which are covered
by federal law.

If you think that is big-bro' syndrome, spare a thought for all the poor
countries switching to GSM. Each tower can of course use any channel set, and
while the system is low-volume they use something called 'receiver diversity'
which is when two or more towers monitor the same call, and the best signal
is fed though, thus eliminating the quick drop-outs, and giving you a
'soft', unheard handoff,(Which is done anyway.) but here is the interesting
thing: 
       By getting three towers to listen to a call,(or even a registration
which can be done on request of the carrier, without the user knowing)
the system can place a handpiece to better than 100 meters, not using signal
strenght, but delay of signal to each tower, which is of course much more
accurate.
  There are handsets now that can be put into test mode and can give the user
details of distance to the three strongest sites, but to a user that is usless
as only the carrier will know which tower-id is located where.
  So as long as you carry a GSM handset with you, big-bro can punch you details
into the computer, and find where you are, wherever you are. It's all a bit
scarry isnt it? What I can't understand is that more people dont know about
this, and kick up a fuss. But I guess if you have nothing to hide.....  :-(

I have an old Grove database which has the freqs, but all you really
have to do is scan 450.0125 to 451. The only new media I ever bother
scanning is the KGO helicopter (450.2125). The chit-chat between
broadcasts can occasionally be interesting. Once I heard Katy Liber(sp)
talking to Stan the trafic man about meeting the sportscaster from
another station laying nude on the rocks at Muir Beach. I believe she
ended the conversation with something like "Now you know about it, and
so does everbody else with a scanner." Once in a blue moon some jammers
will get on an say hello. BTW, that 450 to 451 band will be used
extensively during news broadcasts by the remote crews. KTVU is
especially busy.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ATTN MVT OWNERS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

READER:
       This letter is being posted here because of the massive surge of
E-mail that came to me about a statement that I made in a previous
posting("7100 as good as the 7200").
       Well the truth is this, the 7200 display's the frequency while
in HF mode better now(More Digit's) and it also has WIDE-AM with a
built in AM ANT, But the most significant new feature to ME by far was
the ability to turn the light on and leave it on.
       So after I learned what the MVT7200 could do, I decided to tweak
my 7100 a little with the help of a friend. What we came up with was a
simple mod that does away with the keylock function and instead makes
the keylock switch a lamp on/off switch. And that's it two cut traces
and two jumper's and whalla!! your 7100 is just as good with the
exception of the AM-WIDE cra_ !p  :-)
       So please accept my appology if anyone has been deceived, You
can not magically make your 7100 into a 7200 with just a few cut's and
jumper's.If anyone is interested in doing what I did just let me know
and we'll try to figure out how to get diagrams out on the net.

I can guarantee that the last is illegal everywhere in Oregon, and the

Okay, I've been away a few days and read the "Jammers" Thread a bit. It 
seems that some folks don't beleive that a Repeater or "transponder" 
wouldn't jam. Repeaters do jam, quite effectively. I've done Electronic 
Warfare for 6 years in tha Navy and 1 in the Army. Repeater are excellent 
for "spoofing" radars and making false targets, etc. These new jammers 
are passive, active, and repeaters. The passive one just don't work 
period, no use explaining why they don't. Active ones work, quite well. 
The newer ones transmit a very low power signal and add in a FM sawtooth 
signal to the center freq of the victim. This makes the radar believe the 
car is going from +200 to -200 in 2 seconds or so and remains blank. 
There are no radars that use pulses, they all use doppler and they don't 
have any type of DSP or filter to figure out the true signal, they go for 
the strongest reflected signal out there. The repeaters are just 
amplifying the incoming signal by 20dB?? or so and then applying the 
bogus  signal, since the outgoing signal is stronger than the cars 
relected signal it overcomes the good signal and spoofs the radar. As for 
legality, I've looked quite a bit and found nothing in Oregon which would 
prohibit the device and since it's a low power it doesn't need a license 
according to the MFR. This seems to make sense since you can buy a Mr 
Microphone etc. that operate on FM broadcast band license free. I'm no 
lawyer but a cop that gets a blank reading wouldn't have PC since a blank 
reading is pretty common, esp. in instant on mode. So can a cop pull any 
one pull a car over on a blank reading?? I'd theres no cop thats even run 
up against a jammer so how in the heck could they know the effects. Now 
if you blow by at 85 and his display reads 35, well I'd say thats 
suspicious indeed.

It wasn't an emergency marker, ( I know what they sound like).
This signal started out as a constant carrier modulated with a beep about
once a second.  This past week it sounded like digital telemetry for a few
days.  Now the signal is totally gone!

The signal was fairly weak and did not seem to affect the simplex comms
between the county's search and rescue helo Guardian Two (N71KP) and other
units during the floods we had.

A search with a 2meter rig and beam indicated it was north of Seattle.

A signal of half scale was observed while mobile in Lake Stevens,WA.

Still puzzled

Change the Step size before keying in the frequency.

Select Channel
Press PGM
Press SHFT
Press Step until desired step size is shown
(If you want to change the mode from "default" just press Mode until the
 correct one shows)
Press SHFT (to clear Shift)
Key in frequency as normal
Press ENTER

Away you go.

        I agree with you.  A newsgroup devoted to frequency exachanges is
        a good idea.  But let it cover all ranges, from Shortwave to the
        Gigahertz ranges.

I like it.  I would go for it.  This way one dose not have to sift out things.

I would hope that your new group would cut the comentary.  Posting would 
look something like

460.0500 Anaheim Police Dept 103.5

and nothing else.  More like an exchange of database information.  Something
that is easy to append to large text files for the grep attack!  Things like
this would save me hours of editing.

        I'd suggest two things.  One, the commentary will *NEVER* be cut.
        The other is to modify the fields this way:
DateFreqPlCityDeptNotes
12-Dec-95  460.0500  103.5  Anaheim  Police Dept  Main Channel

        The date allows for proper aging of the information.  Separation
        between City and Department would help.  The notes is just a
        field for some form of text.  The "" is a field separator
        which should be defined as a single character such as " |:".
        Also, for null fields OTHER than the notes one, use a word such
        as "null" or "na" to show that it doesn't apply.

Rick, you are definitely haviing better success than me. I can drive
around in my car from Stockton to Sacramento and not even register one
hit. Works great at close range to an RF transmitter, freq's are very
accurate. I was using the DB32 antenna, I'm going to be trying some

I use a ANLI S-1 on a window clip mount attached to my Opto Scout.  I have
up to 30 hits going to and from work.  I also use filters to remove FM
broadcast interference.

Get an outside antenna and see what happens.

I have a Scout and use a Pro-62, Pro-34 and a Pro-2006.  Even tho the 
handhelds aren't reactive tune, the Scout 40 will save the frequencies for 
later review. Its a good way to find those difficult-to-get frequencies even if 
you have to bang them in mannually.  If you get one, be sure to get a good 
antenna.  The small on is OK for higher frequencies and easy to carry 
un-detected but not much range. I think it a very good unit over all..

I bought a used one (the very first model). It works if you are next to
the transmitter or HT (5 ft max for HT, 100FT using a ham ant and a
powerful transmitter). It is a neat toy and if you have to have a freq
sometimes its the only way to get it. I don't use it very often. There
is a rumor that OPTO will make a combo Interceptor/Scout. You may have
noticed the prices of both items dropping lately. You may want to wait
and get the combo or buy a used scout when someone else upgrades.

Jeff : I have the OPTI456 and a PRO2006. My initial critism was 
lack of Windows software. Now that it's available, it's too expensive
for me to justify buying.

The hardware is great and it does what it says. I would like  the
same functionallity in a handheld (AOR8000 maybe?). I have not
done much scanning recently but I intend to do more soon.

If you get one, Enjoy.

I have an AOR-8000 and I love it, BUT I have not been extremely successful
with it as a computer scanner. The computer interface is great for
managing the 1000 channel memory and alphanumeric tags (a great 8000
feature), but have had a lot of hardware "hangs" when operating it with
scanner software. I have tried 3 different flavors of software and have
experienced the same "hang" problem with all three. I have assumed from
that that it is not the software, but the hardware that is the problem.
The "hang" problem seems to surface when you have been scanning for a
while, then go to check the channels captured. As you work through the
channels, the radio becomes locked and needs to be restarted. Once locked
it seems that it gets relocked every time the channel file is loaded
again. I have decided it might be best to add an Opto board to my pro-2006
at some later date and use the 8000 for what it is best at, handheld
scanning. The Opto/2006 is suppose to scan for tones and at speeds of 50+
channels per second. I would welcome additional comments in regard to the
Opto boards or 8000 hang issue.

Thanks

I had the same problem.  After a certain point, the log file just had
trash in it.  They said they would check and get back to me, and of
course never did.  I am using it under WFW.  I am sorry that I bought
it.  I never use it any more.  One of my biggest problems with it is
that there is no way to import or export the logs and memory banks.

This last line is the key here, but some information is missing. It should
state that it's only illegal to sell them *in the United States*. This
ought to get you thinking. Hmmm... Canada?

That's right, Canada. You can get the OS535 from the Great White North and
no unlock codes will be required. I asked a Canadian distributor (Durham
Radio Sales and Service  and this is what
they replied:

"The boards I sell will do cellular.  However, if the radio is not already
cellular capable and the board is installed the radio will receive cellular
only when hooked up to the computer or to do Reaction Tuning.  If the radio
is cellular capable to begin with, then there are no problems.  You probably
already knew this but I thought I'd mention it anyway."

In other words, buy my board, install it and you can pick up cellular
without codes or any further modifications!

This is from the Opto Page.

The OptoScan 456 (OS535) is an add-on computer interface board designed to
fit into the Radio Shack Model Pro-2035 or Pro-2042 receivers. The OS535
allows for complete computer control of the receiver. It will not only
tune the radio, but increases scanning speed up to 80 channels per second
(depending upon the
software used). It also provides decoding of CTCSS, DCS, and DTMF (Touch
Tone) and much more. 

At 80 channels per second, the OS535 can scan faster than an unmodified Pro-
2035/42, ICOM R7100, AOR 8000, or any other scanner using computer
control. The faster your receiver can scan, the less chance you have of
missing any conversations. In short, a Radio Shack Pro-2035/42 receiver
equipped with an OS535, along with a personal computer and the appropriate
application software, forms a complete computer-aided scanning system
capable of receiving VHF/UHF signals in the range 25-823.9875 MHz,
849-868.9875 MHz, and 894-1300 MHz. AM, FM-narrowband and FM wideband
modes are all supported. 

The OS535 also includes a built in CI-V to RS-232C serial interface
convertor for application in which a receiver is connected to a computer.
Its purpose is  to convert the CI-V interface voltage levels to RS-232C
levels compatible with most personal computers. This feature eliminates
the need for an external interface convertor box. In addition, the RS-232C
interface provides pipeline tuning, resulting in the ability to increase
the scanning speed of the OS535 by  up to 80 channels per second. 

When combined with a computer, the OS535 makes using the Pro-2035/42
easier and much less confusing. Even when away from the scanner, the
computer can continue to search out those frequencies you want to monitor,
and record them into virtually unlimited numbers of memory channels. All
front panel controls are more easily accessible through software menus.
The OS535 is supported by software programs such as PROBE, SCANSTAR,
SCANCAT, SCANNERWARE for WINDOWS, and RADIO MANAGER for WINDOWS.
Furthermore, a file can be imported from the PerCon FCC database into
either PROBE, SCANCAT or RCSI and all the FCC database information you
need to know about your monitored frequencies will be displayed. Check
your frequencies by location: zip code, city, county, state, region, and
much more. Even find out the distance in miles from the transmitter! 

One of the most exciting features of the OS535 is that it can now be used
with the Scouttm; for the Optoelectronics exclusive, Reaction Tuning (pat
pend). The Scouttm will automatically tune the Pro-2035/42 (equipped with
OS535), CI-V receivers (ICOM's R7000, R7100, and R9000), or AOR models
(AR8000 and AR2700) to the frequency it records. The frequencies may also
be recalled from the memory of the Scouttm to tune the receiver.

Even this is wrong. It is NOT illegal to sell such scanners in the US. It 
is just illegal to manufacture/import them for sale.

    I have heard from people that a Pro-51 with a 11A3 sticker works
fine with the cellular mode. However my Pro-51 has 11A4 sticker and so
I assume it has been "fixed" so it can't recieve all the 800Mhz
channels. Is there any way I could un-fix it?

Sugestions will be greatly appreciated.

Pro-51's with date codes of 7A4 and prior still can be keyboard modded
to receive the cell site frequencies. Date codes of 8A4 and higher are
what they say "fixed". Sorry 11A4 has been violated.

Does anyone know of a MOD that changes the dimmer switch function from
high/low brightness to turning on/off the display lighting altogether.
I use my 2006 with the OPTO 456 and generally leave the radio on for
several days at a time.  Since I don't need to use the display on the
radio when the OPTO's in use I'd like to be able to turn the
luminesent display off completely.


Thanks for the help!

1).  Use a good quality alkaline (NOT ni-cad) battery.  Ni-cads actually
have at least 1/4 volt less than an alkaline in most cases.  Using
anything but a QUALITY alkaline isn't worth it - don't use "heavy duty"
batteries, use an alkaline.
2).  Check the battery with a battery tester - NOT a volt meter. 
Batteries need to have a certain level of milliamperes in addition to the
proper voltage to be in good shape, and a volt meter doesn't really tell
you the health of the battery that way.
3).  Clean the battery contacts with a pencil eraser.  Oxidation will
prevent a good contact - and this fix is free!  This also works on most
any other battery operated device (but be carefull if the contacts are
gold plated - those are soft and easily scratched).

If these suggestions do not work, you probably need to have it checked
out.

Your should leave AC applied to the PRO-2006 at all times, even
when its turned off.

I looked thru the schematics and learned that the internal 13.8vdc
power supply remains on even when the unit is turned off. This 13.8vdc
keeps the backup circuitry running and so battery is not drained at
all.

Battery drain occurs when the PRO-2006 is turned off AND unplugged.

I imagine if you are unplugging the PRO-2006 or, more likely, using
a power strip to turn on/off your bench ... this is your problem.

I don't know how long the battery should last with no external power.

I had the same problem exactly...some "crud" had built up on the
battery connector in the radio. I cleaned it up, & it's been great
ever since.

This is not entirely true.  With the 13.8 VDC power being supplied, there
is still a small drain on the battery due to the low battery sensing circuit.
This even occurs when the scanner is turned on.

This is good general advice, but not particularly relevant to diagnosing
your problem with the 2006.  A good quality alkaline battery will last
longer in the 2006 than an inferior battery, but the low battery circuit
measures battery voltage, not battery capacity (or "health").  Further,
the current drain on the battery is so low in the 2006 that checking the
battery with a voltmeter is actually a more accurate way of determining
what the low battery circuit "sees" than checking it with a battery tester
(which measures the voltage under load).  You can even use a voltmeter
to check the battery while it's still connected as long as you're careful
not to short the contacts.  

Finally, the low battery alarm on the 2006 doesn't sound until the battery
voltage gets _very_ low.  I installed a cheapie battery in my 2006 (the
ones Radio Shack used to give out free) and kept power connected to it all
the time.  A year and a half later, the battery voltage as measured on
a voltmeter with the battery still connected to the scanner was between
5 and 6 volts, but the low battery alarm had not yet started sounding.
(I know the alarm does work since it sounded as soon as I removed the
battery.)  When I placed the battery in a battery tester, it didn't even
move the needle.

The moral of the story is that one shouldn't wait for the low battery alarm 
to sound before checking the battery.  When the alarm does sound, it means
that the battery is just barely capable of retaining memory.

As for the problem with your 2006, attach a good battery and try measuring
the voltage where the battery wiring connects to the main PC board (using
a voltmeter).  If it doesn't read OK at that location, you've got a problem
in the battery clip wiring.  If it does read OK, then it's a problem in
the scanner's circuitry.

I have a friend who has just gotten a Pro 2035 and was asking about
the mods for the cellular freq range.  I told him I thought that new
scanners now days could not be modified to receive the cell band.  If
I am mistaken we would appreciate hearing about the mod.

Thanks

Jim,
I just bought a PRO-2035 also.  It has a lot of very nice features, but 
if it can't be modified to open up the freqs, I'm taking it back.  Please 
let me know if you hear of any mods for this unit.
Thanx...Phil

Frequency expansion aside, your friend should consider exchanging
his PRO-2035 for the new PRO-2042.  The PRO-2042 I tested performed
like the PRO-2035 but has improved firmware features and an amber
display.

Look for a detailed PRO-2042 review in a future issue of
Monitoring Times magazine.

The only mod for that radio is to replace the CPU with a Europien version.
 Or
get the Optoscan 535 board and figure out the 800 mhz unlock code

Yes, unfortunately the newer models are not modifiable to receive the "forbidden"

I know that the Pro-37 can be opened up for 800 mhz.  I have one I
bought new and I had it fixed.  Search the web for scanner mods...  I
don't know how to do it, just that you can do it.

  DO the mod again, but this time observe proper polarity with the diode 
(in other words, if the little notch mark on the diode was facing one 
direction, make sure it faces that same direction when you move it!).  
Since you've already pulled it & replaced it, I guess you'll have to go 
by the markings on the other diodes...



   This happened to me too a couple of times, so I know that sinking 
feeling, but after about 20 PRO-43 mod jobs, I figured out what was going 
on! ;)

It sounds like you got some solder in a place it doesn't belong. It is easy
to do, and the amount can be so small that it is hard to see.

Please help me!  I bought a pro-43 yesterday and it worked terrifically.
So, today, I figured I'd try the mod on it.  I disassembled the unit just 
as the faq describes.  I unsoldered the metal plate covering the CPU and 
then I removed the D$ and moved it to D3.

When I put it all back together, I found out that I couldn't use the 
following keys ( 2,5,8,.)  directly down the center of the keypad. Every 
other key works but those. So, I took it all apart again and moved the 
diode back, thinking that maybe that would undo my problem, but it didn't.

So, now I'm stuck with a scanner that I can't program new #'s into or use 
the direct button to find new frequencies...  Please, someone help me and 
tell me where I went wrong? I paid too much to have it taken to the shop so

    The line that reads that row of keys also supports diode D2, which
enables 30-54 MHz reception. It sounds like you inadvertantly grounded
D2 while moving the diode to D3 or broke the trace from D2 to R17. This
can be confirmed by trying to enter a frequency in the 30-54 MHz range.
Look for excess solder or a damaged trace around the upper end of D2.

But I can't do that, I bought it at a pawn shop used.  And I can't take 
it back there, cuz I tested it in the store.  I really need to find out 
what might have gone wrong, I'm beginning to think that something

================
There's no way we can diagnose a problem like that from this distance.
It *sounds* like you either dropped some solder where you shouldn't have, 
or there's something wrong with the keypad itself (maybe something you did 
while you were in there).
It's almost certainly something that went wrong while you were in there 
(although I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear). Grove has a repair 
service. You might give them a call, and ask them for a ballpark figure. 
*Be honest with them*, and tell them what you did. This will help them 
determine an approximate cost.
Hope this helps.

Brian,
I have a 51 I bought last month coded 3A5 (look on back plate below serial#)
I have tried every mod involving keying sequences that I have seen posted here
to get the cell bands and have not had any luck at all. There may be another 
way that I'm not familiar with to do it but so far for me- zilch! It's my 
understanding that unless yours is coded 11A3, 12A3 or 7A4, these mods do not 
work. Any out there is more than welcome to correct me if I'm wrong.
                                                                      James

I ran into this about seven years ago and had since forgot about
it until I saw some recent radar detector threads.

What is it on trains that sets off radar detectors?  Seven years
ago I made a trip from CA to TX on I-40.  Much of the trip
paralleled train tracks.  I had a radar detector with me (since
AZ and NM use it on the freeways).  EVERY TIME a train went by,
the detector started alarming.  Trains coming at me in the opposite
direction would set it off from a 1/4 to 1/2 mile away.  Going
the same direction, it would alarm when I was close to abeam the
locomotive.

I thought it might be the EOT stuff.  But I don't think that's
microwave and I never noticed an alarm when the end of the 
train went by.

The passive crap would just make the signal stronger - if it did anything
at all, which is unlikely.

If it interferes with radar, and you obviously thought that it would, then
it is illegal. The federal statute is under intentional jamming of a legal
signal. State and local statutes (and generally felonies) are "interfering
with an officer in the lawful performance of his duties", or "obstructing
justice".

You understand wrong.  All the radar looks for is a doppler shifted signal.
The radar signal is completely different from the background noise, so there
is no difficulty telling the two apart.

You would not be able to move a resonant cavity back and forth fast enough,
or far enough, to effect the doppler shift. Also, unless it was very large,
any signal it reflected would be minute compared to that reflected by your
automobile.

First, there is at least one device that transmits in the Ham band, for 
which you need a Ham license. It does NOT transmit in any of the radar
bands.

It is illegal to intentionally interfere with an officer performing his
duty. Intentional jamming would certainly come under this designation.
It is not the FCC you have to worry about - the "boys in blue" have their
own set of laws, and they can make your life miserable. They could even
confiscate your vehicle, if they wanted to be really mean - as well as
lock you up for a while to think about the folly of your actions.

Now, can they determine that you are jamming them?  No idea, but I would
not want to take the risk.

To answer your question.......I dunno!

I understand that they are RF amplifiers that are "excited" by radar 
signals that are received and redirected back at the radar gun - but 
amplified.  It's not immediately clear to me how this would cause the 
radar gun to either 1) read a lower speed 2)false.

I guess if the signal coming in to the jammer was amplified a LOT the

Consequently I can see how the jammer would make the police radar gun 
work even better by amplifying the signal coming back - much like radar

In any event, I can't see such a device being "technically" illegal.  It 
isn't a transmitter.  Mind you, baseball bats aren't illegal but if you

From what I understand, each radar guns sends out a "signature" of pulses

false.  The obvious thing to do would be to make a resonant cavity on the

I would agree Bill.


Radar loves the so called aero-dynamic cars.  We where out playing with
radar one day.  We used two test cars one saturn and a 58 chevy.  It
took .015 seconds to get a radar lock on the saturn at 85 mph.  The
chevy took 1.3 seconds at 85 mph.  Why you may ask?  That is simple.
The saturn did not bounce signals in every direction.  The 58 chevy with
all of the high tails and sharp lines bounced the signal everywhere.
Only a small sample got back to the reciver.  Either way both cars would
be busted.  Just thought you would like to know.

They can, if it's a poorly made jammer. They will give anamolous readings on 
the police radar, sometimes even damage it. This gives the officer probable 
cause to search your vehicle. Jammers are also illegal in all 50 states in 
America, even in states where detectors are illegal.

It's hard to tell which of you is wrong. The question is rather vague.
Most guns today send out a chirped (frequency-swept) signal by
convolution. It is deconvolved on reception. This might be the
"signature" the original posert mentioned. At one time there were
"dial-a-speed" devices which sent back a frequency imitating a Doeppler
(correct spelling) shifted signal. But now that the guns use convolved
signals, that is no longer possible. Each gun has a slightly different
convolution, so it can readily distinguish its own signal. But probably
all guns of any one type would put out the same swept frequency signal.

Think "transponder."  A passive device can still radiate a signal.  If
that signal happens to spoof the police doppler radar, "Mission

Don't know about legalities, but check out the current "Car & Driver"
magazine. They do a review this month on several Radar and Laser Jamming
Devices. Some highly effective, and some not worth the postage to mail
the company your check to get one.

As a trucker I used one for several years,coast to coast driving.
It was called a radar detector "testor" to get around some legalities.
It produced less than one watt of power,as power is not required to
defeat radar.It produced random freqs in x and k bands and was quite 
effective since it was activated when the first pulse of radar was
received.It was wired to the vehicle electrical system,so that when
the radar detector went off the drop in system voltage turned on the
transmitters.The main reason I no longer use it was the advent of
expanded radar bands and laser.Having had 17 weeks radar theory classes
in the military and as a former radar operator,I know that this worked.

wierd, in virgina where radar decotrs are illegal (but note this: laser
decotros are not, (yet another loop hole) thogh they all still use non-laser
in my area.)

but the radar jammers are LEGAL here. at least as in may when i had driver
improvment anbbd the sheriff that taught the class said so.
(cuz i asked)

ah well

It would cause the radar gun to get confused enough that it would display
NO READING.

Again, read the current Car & Driver (or was it Road and Track, I'll have
to check at home). They explain how Passive AND Active Jammers work.

A transponder is NOT a passive device.

Yes, a passive device can radiate a signal. A radar corner-reflector is
a good example. Unfortunately, the signal will be much below the level
of the signal reflected by the rest of the automobile, so will be down
in the noise.

Sure, but that is NOT a passive reflector. It is a passive absorber.

True, it would possibly false, but it would not provide a lower reading.

I doubt if they rate any passive devices as "effective" - unless they do
so with devices that absorb the signal,rather than reflecting it.

Not true.  A spinning 'corner reflector' would do just fine, because it
would completely swamp any return from the rest of the car.  Of course, the
corner reflector has to be physically big enough to be a corner reflector at the
appropriate wavelength, which isn't completely trivial.

Not completely true.  According to a Lockheed (Stealth fighter) exec, most of
the radar reflections from a car (in addition to the radiator & engine) come
from the headlights and the inside of the car (through the windshield & bouncing
around inside the car).  His suggestion: keep your headlights closed, use
radar-absorbing (resistive) paint, and use an electrically-conductive windshield
(bounces the radar into the sky).  We concluded that although you couldn't
(cheaply) reduce the radar cross section to zero, you could reduce it so much
that if there were any other cars/trucks on the road, it wouldn't see you. 
However, if those other cars/trucks were speeding & you happened to be driving a
red sports car, they'd still stop _you_.

Yes, they did, and now the exact same device has been repackaged and it being
sold by ANOTHER company. Its reviewed in the Automobile Magazine article in
the January 1996 issue, page 66.

The passive devices were junk, infact most of them enhanced your radar
signature. The active devices on the other hand were quite effective,
when they worked properly.

At which point the driver admitted to violating Federal regulations.  The
upper limit of the ham band on 10 GHz is 10.5 GHz.  Police radar runs
at 10.525 GHz.  He might as well have claimed that he was using his
146 MHz handheld doing experiments on a 155 MHz police frequency--
either way, he was out of band and beyond his (revokable, mind you)
privileges.

Sorry, the local sheriff cannot make them legal. Intentional jamming is a
violation of Federal law - over which he has absolutely no control. Of
course, he can instruct his troupers to simply ignire such devices.

Well said, especially in light of the recent repeal of the threat of 
losing highway funds for having speed limits > 65 mph. With the rise in 
the speed limit to 70 or even 75, and in at least one case no limit, I 
imagine the market for radar detectors/jammers/whatever will decrease 
significantly. I wonder how states/counties will deal with the loss of 
revenue from decreased tickets being issued.

Called the 616-629-5801 #.  The person who answered said they had no
connection with the "Gesmundo" scanner control software - they had no
info on any alternative phone number.

ACE Communication, 6975 Hillsdale Court, Indianapolis, IN  46038
(1-800-445-7717) carries the TR4500 Scanner Control Software (SCS-2)
which is a DOS based system for the TR4500, AR2500 and the  AR2515. We
just purchased the "kit" (including the cable and software) - I think
it was originally priced around $35 - now its closer to $80!!!.

It sounds to me your friend has a transceiver rather than a scanner
A scanner is only a receiver and can't be talked on.

I just bot a RS PRO-2021 at a garage sale for $75..... It looked like a pretty good deal, but I don't have any 
documentation for it.   How old is the 2021 and is it cellr modifiable?  What would this take?

Thanks,

NO THE 2021 IS NOT CELLULAR MODIFIABLE, BUT YOU CAN BUY AFTER

THE CELLULAR FREQUENCIES TO THE 400-500 Mhz AREA.

I got to get in on this one.  Hogan, you are just like everyone else
that has some idea that all you are going to hear is a baby crying.
Have you ever scanned the channels?  I have heard phone calls, a baby
cry, arguments, sex, business deals, and a host of other things.  My
favorite is the tv in the other room.

The baby monitors receiver is built so badly that if you where just
using that, you would not hear the things that the mic picks up.  The
mic picks things up like an echo chamber.  Granted if the baby rooms
door was closed it is harder to hear what is happening in the rest of
the house.  I love it when new parents set the transmitter in the
window.  I can hear them for blocks. :-)

Is this legal?  Well, if everyone that buys one of these things read the
fine print in the instruction manual the company's that make these would
go out of business.  In black and white it states clearly that you have
no privacy when using one of these devices.  It is usally under the FCC
type acceptance part of the manual.  Who reads these anyway?  Well, no
one.  Case in point, we all have something to listen to. 

I feel sorry for the kids that have to grow up hooked on baby monitors.
My mom would sit with me.  She would nurse me.  Always keeping a
watchfull eye on me.  I am the most important thing in her life.  These
poor kids that have to grow up knowing that their folks are yuppies too
busy to sit with them.  The people that use these baby monitors think
the kids are objects and not humans.  Kids are objects of strees these
days.  When I was growing up, I was an object of love.  My point is that
good loving parents don't need baby monitors.

citywide fire, all working fires reported through this freq 154.430 and 
manhattan is 154.370

I have a receiver that is capable of utilizing PLs.  This is great for
me in NYC to keep the hot adjacent and co-channel crap out.  That
said, does anyone have NYPD freqs to share with the associated PLs?
Thanks in advance.

Hi:

What are you trying to monitor in Hawaii.  

Any Specifics would help.

I have been involved in scanning based in Honolulu for 25 years.  I can 
provide you with some neighbor island stuff.

I may also be able to help out, but haven't been here as long.  If we can 
share these Hawaii freqs, that would be great.  There used to be a Hawaii 
scanner BBS, but that has gone away...had a lot of good stuff.  Wish I had 
downloaded when I had the chance.

More times than not the Scout will pickup a freq in the 800mhz range and 
nothing will come over the AR8000, it will lock on to the freq, but there 
is nothing there, is the Scout locking in to weak signal that the AR8000 
can't recieve?  Too much squelch?

Are you using the Scout in your car near YOUR cell phone? I had the
same results. It turned out to be my cell phone causing the problem.
When I turned the phone off, no more false hits.

Here is a revised list of ACTIVE Freqs for the Suffolk Cty Sheriff
and Buses. 
These 8 channels are in a rotation, meaning if the sheriff is talking on
866.0625, and the bus dispacher shouts a bus, the dispacher will
be transmitting on 866.1625,and if the one of these repeater unkeys 
the next transmission (base or mobile) would be on 867.4250. As for
the 867.2875 it has had the Digital Trunking Data on it 24hrs aday
for a while now..and sometimes on 866.6875

If you have any question Email me ( Keith@unix.asb.com), I keep my
Scanner tuned to these 800 Mhz freq all the time...

Hello-
 
 I'm doing some research into how people use the Internet to help them
 in their scanning hobby.  I know I use it to locate frequency's in my
 area (Houston/Galveston), and I enjoy the tech talk in USENET.
 
 If you would, please reply to this message (email pref) with a brief
 description of how you use the Net with your scanner.  What are your
 favorite WWW pages?  Gophers? Newsgroups?
 
 Do you have a BBS that you call regularly that deals with scanning?
 (please give name and number, I'll probably call it.)
 
 Do the major online-services offer anything for you?
 
 Thanks for your help.  Your comments and answers will appear in my column
 for a nationally distributed magazine.
 
 Steven Baker

Paul:

As the designer and programmer of the BearTracker 7, I'm just curious
where you got the list of extender frequencies?  I heard that Uniden was
distributing them if you called their service center, but I'm not sure if
that is still true.  You could, of course, compile them by scanning and
opening up the squelch.  It's not a big deal, just wondering.  Thanks.

Reminds me of a package I never received from UPS.  They claimed they
had a signature and it read something like "DRFP".  I said I knew nothing
of that - they investigated, and found out it meant "Driver Release
Front Porch".  The package had been left in the bushes and was there, very
weathered.

I've used UPS a number of times in the past.  Packages seem to take much 
longer to get to their destination than what is claimed.  Also, when 
electronic equipment crosses the border care of UPS it can turn into a 
nightmare as it has for me in the past.  I remember driving down to 
Dearborn, MI to pick up a computer monitor that had taken two weeks to 
get down there (from Toronto) via UPS. 

But that's okay, it's only a 3.5hour drive down there.  8-(

Cheers!

i had a similiar experience with UPS a few years ago.  I bought a hard
drive from an outfit, and couldn't get it to work.  So I shipped it back
UPS as per the company i bought it from's request.  the drive had a 10g
shock detector on it (the company put it on there), and was in it small
foam padded box that was suspended in a 2'x2'x2' box with even more foam.
quite well padded you will agree?  needless to say the drive arrived with
shock detetor tripped and a dent/puncture in the box and drive was dead. 
I had luckily insured it, but UPS rep said damage to box was not enough to
warrant paying off insurance.  I was totally livid to say the least. 
after fighting with them for MONTHS, finally had some time i could take
them to small claims court (plus had evidence i needed as well) and out of
the blue they called and said they would pay insurance on it after all. 
needless to say i will never ever use UPS ever again and only have when
the person to whom the package was to be delivered to paid up front and
understood my objection to using that sleazy outfit.  i personally use US
mail and have never had any problems, but i know others who have so to
each their own (US mail sure charges less thats for sure).

I'm in the same boat, but would like to keep the price under $200.

Radio Shack has their PRO-51 on sale for xmas for $199 US, and it
SEEMS to be the best for the $$ - has the features I'm most interested
in,etc... but I must admit I know little about scanning so far and may be
picking the wrong unit.  

Could anyone advice if this is a good handheld for a beginning
scanner-addict? Or, if it isn't can anyone recommend a different
PRO model,  or another make (Bearcat, etc...) that would be more
appropriate for the $$?

Thanks for any advice!

What's a good all around antenna for the PRO 2006 to replace the 
stock antenna and where can I get one.  I would like the best 
possible antenna without having to put up an external mast.  Thanks 
for your help.  Please email replies.

If you've already let the manager of the closest store know how you feel, 
you might want to drop RS an email to see if they will fix it.  Radio 
Shack co. owned stores use a computer system that won't reorder an item 
unless the stock is low, and it isn't smart enough to know the difference 
between 95 and 96 books.  Independently owned dealer/franchise stores use 
a different method though, and usually have the new books right after 
they come out.  If you have a dealer store in your area, try them, since 
the 96 books are available through RS warehouses now.  If you do have to 
deal with a RS owned store, the manager CAN special order this book for 
you.  He may not want to since it takes some extra work, but if you are 
persistent he should do it.  If he refuses, call that RS 800 THE SHACK 
phone number and tell them.
 
I'm not sure what RS customer service email is, but the keyword to search 
for the web page is TANDY, not Radio Shack.

I am wondering if there is actually any GOOD QUALITY Windows scanner
software out there.  I have ScanStar for Windows and find it to be
spotty in performance and usability.  I hear some bad things about
RCSI ScanWear as well.  I had a demo version of it a year ago and it
was pretty bug-laden.

My specific problem with ScanStar is that when I tell it to resume
scanning, it sometimes leaves the radio locked on the channel and says
(erroneously) "Scanning..." on the window.  It seems to happen more on
weaker signal channels.  The only way to straighten it out is to go
reselect the scan list.  I also have had difficulty importing
frequency data into the Data Manager.  It doesn't recognize "FM",
"FM-W", or "AM" properly.

Anybody have a reaction?

Durham Radio Sales and Service, located in Canada sell reconditioned
Pro-43 handhelds, already modified to receive cellular.

You can reach them via the Web at:  or by phone
at: 905-436-2100.

I bought a brand new PRO-2006 from them recently and I'm very satisfied
with the service I got from them.

Santa Cruz County calls theirs "Project ROPE"

It works on the same principal as San Mateo and Marin Countys.
Yup, there are only a few ways out of this county also...I would say it 
works about 30% of the time. The key to this is getting a good BOL out 
as soon as possible,and then having units available to set up at the 
various locations.

Looking for a quick thumbs up or down in this: Pro2006 and Pro2035? Assume
both can pick up cellular. Other than that, what's to think about? Price
is comparable, given that the 2035 is being discontinued. 2035 has 1000
channels, 2006 has 400 (but modifiable). Both can be computer
controlled... Why would any one go through the effort buy a 2006 from
Canada or wherever at this point?

You might look into the video/camcorder accessories for this type of thing.

I saw a guy who had a nice unit that was not much larger than a VHS tape
and it had a 12 adapter jack and an accessory for charging. I think it
was originally purchased for running video lights for home videos.

Only thing to keep in mind in the output voltage to match your requrements.
I do not know how low a voltage you can go on that DC jack but it might be
as low as 10V -- some camcorder stuff is running at 6V and 7.3 Volts.
Then, of course, you will have to go to RS for the right plug.

I tried getting help from three different Radio Shacks without any
success.  All I wanted to know is what they would recommend I use as a
rechargeable portable power supply for my 2006.  One answer was to use
two 6-volt gel cells.  O.K. that made sense and they were not overly
large and heavy.  But, I couldn't get a straight answer on what to use
as a recharger.  Another helpful answer I got was to use a motorcycle
battery.  Great. Not only bulky, but heavy too boot!

I'm sure there must be others who have come up with a solution to this
matter, so I thought I'd write this post.  I would either like
information about an existing product that is reasonably lightweight
and portable, (not a motorcycle battery - preferably long and slim so
that it will fit next to the scanner in the bag I have for it), or
advice on a type of battery/charger combination that I could cobble up
for this application.

Thanks in advance!

I assume you must buy new batteries after the 30-40 hours? My BC200XLT, 
with a disabled low-batt mod, lasts 11-13 hours before needing a charge. 
I have 2 battery packs, so one is in use while the other is charging. The 
batt packs have lasted over 3 years, with the 2nd one costing about $35.

What is the advantage of the batt pack you mention? Is it that the batts 
do not lose their charge if the unit sits awhile unused?

 They were. However there are plenty of other frequencies that use that

Jeff, check out the book "Understanding ACARS". Call Universal Radio

Hi Ken,
the answer to this is yes... and no!

AOR has been active on the net for about six months and may be contacted at

        info@aor.co.uk

A web site has been allocated too but the site is still under construction
and the files have not been posted to the server *yet*.  The site will
become active early in the new year.

We plan to place sales information, modifications, demo software etc for
download.

The site URL is:   http://www.demon.co.uk/aor

The software is written by Jim Maurer and is called AR8UTIL.  I found a 
copy on Compuserve in the Hamnet area.  I believe it can be found on the 
Net, but I misplaced the address.

You can contact the author at jim@specialix.com. There is also a related 
Web site you can contact: http://www.cpl.uiuc.edu/~tpeckish/appendix.html.
  Jim's software is DOS is easy to use and does the basics very nicely.

Have fun with it.

clipping the audio.  I moved around to make sure I was on the center freq,
but this does not work.  I am in the NFM mode and this happens all over
the spectrum on the stronger signals.  Also I have enabled the internal
attenuater, but to no avail..  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

First, make sure the batteries are fully charged.

Having read similar reports from other AR8000 users,
I measured the modulation acceptance of an AOR AR8000 and
found it lower than for most scanners.  Low modulation acceptance
is a predictor that wider (higher deviation) NFM signals
may "chop out of the squelch."

See the Scanner Equipment column in Nov 1995 Monitoring Times
magazine, which includes a bar graph showing a quantitative
comparison of modulation acceptance for the AR8000 vs.
other scanners.

In the Dec/Jan 1995 issue of USSN, Steve Donnell discussed
the problem and suggested replacing an IF filter in the
AR8000 as a countermeasure.

Someone in Japan told me they have a 4 tone and a 16 tone board and 
he thinks the 16 tone board results in better Inversion audio.

Anyone have info on this??

thanks,

  The characters on my keypad are starting to wear off. I realize this
is a problem with the 8k, but has anyone had any luck getting AOR to
provide a replacement keypad? Also, does anyone know what is involved
in replacin
g the keypad?

This problem seems to have only appeared on early AR8000 - later ones 
(since early '95 ?) do not seem to have this problem. New keypads are 
generally available for a small cost if you cannot obtain a "freebie" !

The keypad is pretty easy to replace. Open up your AR8K by removing the 2 
screws in battery compartment, and 2 of the screws down the side at the 
top (from the same half). Separate the front from the back or the back 
from the front whichever you prefer. Take the front half and remove the 
five bright brass screws holding down the PCB. This will lift out - be 
careful with the speaker connected at the top right. The keypad will now 
list out and a replacement can be put in place.

I have just read about the AR8000DX mod from the http://www.lowe.co.uk/
that switches the 2.4Khz filter on while in the AM mode. 
When I owned a MVT-7100 I had this same mod. the 7100 was purchased
from a dealer in Germany. This dealer also sells the AR8000 with a 
2.4KHz filter mod but would not sell unless the radio was purchased from
him.

Does anyone know how to do this mod? Is it available at a ftp site?

Frequency Fan Club (1.800.722.3326) has refillable battery packs for $33.00.  It 
uses AA batteries. I have one and like it very much.  I use the "Renewal" 
batteries and charger and they hold up quite well.

Glenn - are you aware of a mod to extend the charge time for the 
batteries (actually, the BC200XLT says the batts are low when they 
actually have several hours to go)?

I don't know how to do the mod (I had someone else do it), but I can pass 
along the following:

There's a battery-low circuit that has a zener diode that can be replaced.
  No 
big deal to do the MOD.

Yup, and I even have a Quicktime/AVI file digitized from the video broadcast
that they did on the 25th anniversary. Very good quality too, and quite

KGO-TV in San Francisco has a great piece on the exploding whale story.
Reporter Wayne Friedman has the film of the explosion and a great 
soundbite from a photographer that had just purchased a new 
Caddilac...the car was crushed....the dealer told the owner when he 
purchased it..."It's a whale of a deal".

It's the funniest story I have ever seen...all of it true.

Another note: The Coast Guard blew up a whale in 1985 near Encinitas Ca. 
same result...whale bits everywhere!!!

Please post the details abouth that crash all those years ago.

You will not be able to, because it never happened. Transistor radios can 
be used on some flights on some airlines. Frequently this decision is 
left to the captain, but some airlines ban their use altogether (along 
with the use of some other electronic items.

The use of these items does not interfere with ANY ground control 
functions, the controller on the ground is not going to know that these 
devices are in use, whoever said that is a dunce.

I have asked for and received permission to use an ICF2010 on board 
several flights, and that is a transistor radio. I have also received 
permission to use my AR1000 on board commercial flights.

BTW, the reception on board a commercial airliner is pretty bad, about 
the only thing I could receive clearly was the pilot to ground 
communication of the flight I was on.

interference from the PC or the scanner.  The statement to which
you were commenting was discussing numerous electronic devices
being used at once, not PC or scanners excuslively.

And I am sorry if I deleted something you felt was important. 
However this thread is not that old - anyone that wants to see it
all from the beginning, should be able to do so.

Here is a response from someone with a grudge.

Check with the airport and you carrier and you will get the real deal!

While they are concerened with the threat electronic devices pose, they 
are also sympathitac (sp) to the travalling public.

Questions are free and so are the answers. Just do as they request and 
you will have no problems. Minimun wage or not!

As a PLATNUM member of American Advantage, I have traveled over 500,000 miles
with all sorts of bizzare electronics on board.. Two meter handi talkie, scanner,
laptop etc...

The current company line by American is.. If it is carry on, and you keep it
put away (as ANY radio is illegal to USE on the plane - even an AM transistor 
radio) then you can carry it on. They understand the problems with checked 
baggage, and will let you put it under the seat or in the overhead... 

BTW: be prepaired to turn it on at security check point if they ask you to...

 Anyone else bothered by this line of discussion?  If I'm on an airliner,
I DO NOT want to have to trust that someone else will be responsible with
potentially disruptive electronic equipment in order to have a safe
flight.  I include radios, cellular phones, handie talkies, and scanners
in the "potentially disruptive" category.

While there are many more options today than 20 years ago to detect
whether the navigation equipment has been disrupted by on-board
interference, why take the risk?  Is one individual's entertainment worth
the risk?

Paul


PS:  For the record, wasn't it the mid air collision over New York in the
60's (?) that pointed out the need for the prohibition of radios?

You can get all sorts of goodies at Durham Radio Sales and Service. They
have a Web site you can check out at: .

I got my Pro-2006 from them and it came as promised: brand new, in the
box, ready to listen to anything and with a one year warranty. I'm a
satisfied customer.

I don't think they have any more 2006's (but you can check) but they do
have Pro-43's of the variety that you want.

Happy scans,
John

Based on your glowing endorsement of Durham Radio I just ordered a Pro-43 with the mods from them
yesterday. With any luck I'll have it here in time for Christmas. Also, for those with Canadian dollars
they just dropped the price from $469.00 to $429.00
 thanks for the advice!

869-895 are the cell phones, 895-915 are the same calls but received on
the "image" frequency. Your IF frequency mosty likely is around 10MHz
which would account for the 20MHz difference. Any thoughts Bill?

hi Christopher, 

for educational purposes only: the oki 900, 910, 1150 series can be
used with a hardware/software combo that will do what your asking. the
cable was sold by c-tech, better hurry and get your cable though.
another company has popped up selling what looks to be the same
hardwave cable interface, check out page 143 of the december issue
of nuts and volts. ps. yes, there are at&t equivalent phones.

They use their extender freq.154.905
I listen to it when I go to Vegas.
If you here anything on your radio, they are within 1/4 mile.
You will also here a "tone" when they open their car door, it activates
the extender radio.

CHP's BLUE freq is 42.34. This freq (39.14) is CHP's new BLUE-1 freq.

I have always recieved the CHP aircraft and mobile units on "BLUE" 42.34 
This was on trips on Hwy 101 from San Jose Ca. to Los Angeles. Both 
sides of the conversation were on this freq. There is a Mobile freq for 
the "BLUE" 42.18 but I have NEVER heard it used in over 20 years of 
scanning. All pursuits go to the "Blue" when they are going thru 
mutliple CHP areas. I have started seeing listings for "IVORY" 45.020 as 
a air/ground frequency...but have not heard anything yet. 

Don't let people tell you they use aircraft band for speed traps! CHP 
cruisers are not equipped with aircraft band radios,scanners maybe.

I have found that you hear the aircraft long before you see the 
cruisers...and the aircraft don't fly in fog or at night(observed).

I'm sure with night vision flir equipment I could be wrong about the 
night ops.

The CHP doesn't do any speed enforcement at night. They only do airborne 
speed enforceent with fixed wing aircraft. As far as I know, only CHP 
H-40 in Fresno and H-45 in Redding are the two only helicopters with IR 
capability, but I could be wrong. 

How they do spped enforcement, at least on Highway 99 in the Central 
Valley, is along certain strecthes of raod, there are large white lines 
painted on the shoulder of the highway. The airplane then uses these 
lines, which are a fixed distance apart to time the speeding vehicle, 
then alerts a ground unit below. Now they could be dong a "speed trap" 
type of enforcement, where they are spcifically targeting speeding 
drivers, or unsafe trucks maybe. Or they could just be on routine patrol. 
In the latter case, you will more than likely hear the airplane on that 
station's particluar channel, as opposed to Blue. 

The airplanes themselves usually have a normal a/c radio, a CHP radio, 
and a CB. Many times they get valuable info straight from truckers. And 
yes their call sign is Air Bear. They are also paramedic equipped and 
often actually land on a freeway where there has been an accident and 
help is a distance off.

Class "C" RF amplifiers are normally covered in basic transistor theory 
texts.  The ARRL guide will also deal with them and their application in 
power amplifier and frequency multiplier applications.  Check your local 
library. 

Cheers!

Hey Peter......Stop by Cleveland some day and listen to the new $44
million MOTOROLA  ASTRO digital trunked system.  Simulcast....seven
sites...20+ transmitters per site.......very digital.....and very
illegible on ANY analog radio or radio which cannot keep up with the
algorithim.  Guess there are some things that wont be heard now!

As I have said, As long as an agency has Digital equipment, monitoring 
cannot be done since our equipment is analog.  This holds TRUE only if 
the user has Motorola ASTRO or Erickson's EDACS AND are using the 
Digital mode.

If you purchased the same type of radio used by the agency you are 
trying to monitor, it would only work if you programmed the freqs, talk 
groups etc....

If you just purchased a 800 MHZ conventional radio, since the agency 
uses trunking, it would not work.

By the way, from the reports I read concerning the conviction of a 
person in Tulsa, the courts there have ruled that assisting people to do 
such is a violation of the Communications Act of 1934.

All you have to do is get the E.L.panel from radio shack.The old one is  
easily removed and replaced.I think the panel costs like 9 bucks.You DO NOT
need to replace the display.The light isn't even part of the display.Good
luck..

    Yeah, I bought an old, well used 2005 and for like $21 I got another
EL panel, new faceplate, and knobs.  Eventually digging through their
salvage piles, I found some new rubber button thingys.  Now it looks like
new, but the silver paint on the knobs lasted maybe 4 weeks.

You do not have to replace the entire display, just the EL panel behind 
it(not the easiest job, but it has been done).
I don't know if Tandy still stocks them, but a suitable substitute
should be available.
If not, I think that I've figured out how to replace thr EL panel with LED's.

The manufacturer's part number for the EL panel in the 2006 is :  GE-88D-7738

Reference Number (on Schematic) is:    EL501
 
This info is from the 2006 Service Manual.  I would assume that the 2004 
probably uses the same EL panel.

Do you mean the new police frequencies? If so, I don't believe they are 
operational yet. Also, the rumor I heard was that all King County agencies are 
going on the system (40+ agencies) and that they are going to be spread across 
a wide piece of spectrum, and that the system will be digitally encoded.

 Other folks said..."My new FLEX beeper sucks"...........


I say "Some things are better left left untouched"!

I have used the same Motorola BRP-2000 for almost 10 years now. It's on 
152mhz and my paging company(Page Call)has it's transmitter on Crystal 
Peak outside of San Jose Ca. My BPR-2000 stores 4 phone numbers(WOW!)

 Co-workers have used Motorola Bravos on 900mhz with poor results. My 
old 152mhz beeper works in basements,deep valleys and has a range of 
over 100 miles from the transmitting site...I even dropped it in the 
toilet once(and fished it out...then washed my hands...and the beeper) 
Another nice thing is I can use the "drop in" charger from my BPR-2000 
Voice pager with the digital one.

  I really think that most beepers now are "disposable" because of the 
type of construction...that's why my wife carries(and looses) Bravos.

Don't try to preach to me the virtues of 900mhz when it comes to 
statewide coverage in California. I get GREAT coverage on the 152mhz 
unit throughout the state with just a phone call...and I don't pay for 
the extended coverage since I really only use it every few months.

The day they take my 152mhz beeper is the day I look for another pager 
service!


Thats my $8.64 worth.

Plano uses a Motorola 20-channel trunked system. The low freqs
(822-823 MHz) are the inputs (mobile). The higher freqs (866-867) are
the repeater outputs. You can hear all there is to hear by monitoring
the ten repeater outputs. They change the control channel on a daily
basis so you will have to be prepared to lock that one out an unlock
the previous one.

I have a Radio Shack PRO-2025 mobile scanner in nearly perfect (and 
almost unused condition) for sale.  The scanner has 16 channels, LED readout 
with frequency read-back, front panel keypad and independent volume & squelch 
controls and covers the following bands: 

29-54 Mhz

137-174 Mhz

406-512 Mhz
 
Plus it will independently scan the Weather band.  It is directly programmable 
(simple & straight forward), and has channel priority and lock-out features

I will have to check to absolutely verify the edges of the bands above, but 
this is approximately its coverage.  It works perfectly, and I was using it 
primarily for 2 meter and 440 Ham repeater monitoring and VHF Public Safety.
 
Comes with 12Vdc cord, mounting bracket, and mounting hardware in original 
factory box.  Sorry, no manual but you don't really need one, it is that 
simple to operate.
 
First $75 (not including shipping) takes it.

FOR SALE:

Uniden BCT-7 BearTracker 800 mobile scanner. Service Search (Police, 
Fire, Highway, DOT, NEWS, Weather, CB, Private).  100 programmable 
channels. Search bands CB, 29-50, 118-137, 137-174, 406-512, 806-956Mhz. 
Up to 50 frequencies can be locked out during search, very convenient for 
birdies or data channels. ALERT Light and Beeper warns of any nearby 
highway patrol vehicle' s mobile extender. Yes it does work, but range 
varies by terrain and antenna used. The News and CB feature have been the 
most useful features, especially during rush hour.

Reason for selling, putting Pro-2006 in car since most of my scanning is 
mil-air.

Excellent condition, 4 months old. $100 and I'll ship continental US.

Hi Jason:

I have a Uniden/Bearcat BC200xlt for sale. Has the 800mhz and it is in
excellent shape. It's a bit over your price but thought you might be
interested in it. Case, converter, antenna, battery pack & manuals
packed in it's original box.

I'm selling it because I never use it anymore. I have two base units
that suit my needs.

$175 shipped COD

I don't think it changes the scan speed, the other diode enables 30kHz steps
when scanning the cell band, although this cannont be selected with the 'step'
button, it does got to 30kHz step, and display 30kHz on the display when you
scan the band and use the defult step size by pressing 'reset'.

I guess I was thinking the 2005.  I had this post to follow:

It worked on the 2005, but I'm pretty sure I did it on a 2006 and had it
work.  It increased the speed to 40-50 chennels/sec.

OK, once and for and for all... The two diodes are for two different mods.

D502 is for opening the cell bands. The built in freq map has 30khz spacing
already, and clipping D502 tells the CPU it is ok to enter freqs in the cell range.

D503 is a speed limiter for the unit. I don't have any idea why they would put
it in the unit in the first place, but that is its' purpose. By clipping the diode, you
will jump from 26 channels per sec to 30 cps... It sounds small, but it is noticible.

Adding a diode to 501 empty socket does NOTHING! That was a 2005 mod...

There is one other speedup, you can replace the clock oscillator crystal (12mhz
on the 2006) to a 16mhz one. NOTE! There are side effects!. The delay before 
restart of scan after a signal goes away is now useless.. The 16mhz crystal 
actually speeds up the timing, so the 2 sec delay is like 1/2 a second..
The mod yeilds about 45-50cps or so I have been told...

I personally dont want that type of side effect, and will live with 30cps...


-Good luck!-

Guys, I've done several 2006's...the diode data is correct...one diode 
enables cellular, and also 30 Khz steps(actually, the diode has nothing 
with the 30 Khz part;the CPU automaticly selects the 30 Khz step when the 
cellular frequencies are being used).
The other diode does indeed, enable a modest speed increase(the stock 
unit does 13/26, after the diode clip, it's more like 15/30 cps).
So go ahead, clip both diodes, and enjoy!
P.S...the poster with the list of diodes is incorrect:that list is NOT 
for the 2006!

The 2005 has a different configuration than the 2006...

This is straight from CHEEK's Ultimate scanner book.
Clip the two diodes... DONT add the diode like the 2005, as it does nothing
for speeding up the radio. It MAY do SOMETHING, but as of publish date, noone
had figured out what if anything it would do...

BTW: The 2006 is rated (stock) at 26 chan per sec. This mod will allow for
30 cps...  The ONLY way to get any faster is a crystal change, and that is not
for everyone.. It has too many side effects.. 

There is another option.. the 'LINKALL' module that allows you to go up to 25,600
channels (64 banks of 400) has a really cute mod. It has botha 12mhz (stock) and
a 16mhz crystal. When in scan mode it jumps to the 16mhz and really flies. When
it hits a live one, it stops the scan and switches to the 12mhz to keep everything
else working (i.e. delay etc..)... There is a switch on the back that selects 12/16
or autoswitch...

If anyone is interrested, check it out in the scanner manual, it can be ordered from
Mark Persson
1369 Lombardy Blvd.
Bay Shore, NY 11706

Cost: 1mb SRam $25
        Linkall Controller $95
Installed for $50
AND, it doesn't have the ugly little bank of switches on the front, it is controlled by
the keypad... Totally cool!

Just bought a discone antenna.
On more expensive brands of discones there is a single vertical element
that stems directly from the PL-259 base straight up.

This is the only element that the RS brand doesn't have.

Does anyone have the exact measurement of that element????

I would like to "experiment" on this discone before I put it up.  I'm sure 
there is a band that tends to like that particular element.  I would like to 
get it put in if it improves the performace but I'm not sure of the length.

Thanks.

Here is more info I forgot to sent you:

At a meeting called by the City Building Department, All agencies were 
told the following:

1)  Honolulu Police is the lead agency.  They will be working the bugs 
out once they are fully on line.

2)       Request to go on will be on a public safety basis first.

3)  All users going on will also share the cost of the system 
(maintanence) to be determined.

4)  The vendor has guaranteed the city radio prices for 3-yrs.

when the bids were opened, I attended as a spectator.  I do not have an 
interest other than your in this system.  The results were as follows:

Low Bidder:     Erickson:  Just under 20-million
        
Other Bidder:   Motorola:  Just under 27-million

I will be posting more details in an upcoming new radio scanning 
publication.

(which would put them in the same position as you), or y0u shared the 
fact that you listen to them.

disclaimer:  I do not listen to cell freq's on my scanner that does not 
recieve them.

The cellular phone industry got on Congress' back.

Federal law prohibits listening to cordless and cell phones.

I agree
So it's illegal to monitor Cell phones and all that, but as long as you
only listen for your personal enjoyment, you won't have any problems. I
have copied music tapes and movies, just about everyone does, but if you
start selling bootleg tapes that's where they will crack down on you. The
main reason cell phones are illegal to listen to is because some
politicians have had their "secrets" revealed by the media when talking on
the phone.

Try Scanmn11.zip  It is the newest scanman electronic guide that
I know of.  It can be had at the MogUr's BBS in granada hills.
818-366-6442.  You should have enough time to get it with
a guest account.  It's a pretty good bbs to.  If you find a newer one,
please let me know.

Two thoughts:

1. Money spent on tuned antennas are much more efficient for the dollar
spent.  Power costs a great deal more for not as much range.

2. Increasing the range of a 49 mhz device in an area saturated with 49
mhz RF is rather like yelling louder at a football game,  yu can spend a
tremendous amout of energy only to be ... not heard.

Does anyone have any mods, cellular, etc..., for the "newer" PRO-51's?  I
just bought one with the code "10A5" and the little orange dot on the box,
and the "old" keypad-method to restore cellular doesn't work anymore.

Any ideas?

Couldn't find anything on web pages, FAQ's and the like...

Please reply to my email address if possible.

 I am interested in buying one of these two units. The programing of the

Any opinion would be greatly appreciated

If you are going for performance the Yupiteru's win IMO. The '7100 is 
the slightly better VHF/UHF receiver over the AR8000, the HF performance 
is similar but again I'd give the MVT-7100 the win. I can't recall many 
(if any) owner fortunate enough to have both the MVT-7100 and AR8000 saying 
that the AR8000 is the better *receiver* - the AR8000 has the bells and 
whistles though. 

The MVT-7200 improves upon the MVT-7100 and IMO is the "best" handheld 
with such wide coverage. VHF/UHF performance is similar but intermod 
seems less. Performance on HF on the MVT-7200 has been improved.  

The one thing the Yupiteru's don't have is any form of PC Control or 
conectivity with the Scout etc. If these are something you would like to 
make use of then the Yupiteru's ain't much good :-(

If your after performance over bells and whistles go with the Yupiteru IMO.

I've heard that ScanCat Gold can fix most bandplan/band-edge problems on 
an 8000.
You may want to call the manufacturer.

             Anthony,
                  The numbers are different for each Boro unless you are 
talking about a citywide unit. If you e-mail me specific questions I'd be 
happy to give the proper channels. Any questions you have could be 
answered in the scanner master ny metro edition

I'm considering getting a Scout & SAC 8000 cable to use with my
AR8000.

I've never owned or used (more than playing with a display model) a
frequency counter.  I'm wondering how useful it would be with a
regular whip, duck, or the 1.5" antenna Grove sells?

Would I only be able to use this at close range?  What about in
general?  If I attach it to my base antenna, would I be able to pick
out anything useful, or would the counter be overloaded?

Can the Scout look at only a certain "range" of frequencies?

Try Scan*Star for Windows. The log works. It's much faster than SW.

We won't tell you there aren't any bugs in our software. We WILL fix 
them quickly if you find one. We have a long track record on this. Check out 
the product release notes in the DEMO version.

The concept behind the BCT-7 is that it doesn't matter what type of
speed-measuring device a highway patrol unit is using, because they will
always have their two-way radio on -- which is what the BearTracker
detects (actually the mobile extender of the radio system as well as
selected other frequencies).  Because the alarm circuit only works with
state police and highway patrol agencies, and because only 40 out of the
50 of these agencies use extenders, the claims seem a bit overblown.  The
concept is sound, it's just that the qualifiers to the statement should be
made.  Also, depending on which state you're in, you will have varying
luck as far as how often you receive alarm hits.  The BearTracker is not
foolproof by any stretch, but it does provide an excellent companion to a
radar detector, not only for its alarms, but also by providing
pre-programmed frequencies and a lot more.

Paul, the "mobile extender" is just a low power repeater that is attached 
to the vehicle's 2-way radio. It allows an officer to carry a small 
handheld radio that transmits on one freq to activate and communicate 
with their dispatcher on another freq thru the vehicle's higher power radio. 
Generally used by agencies that use low band for the mobile units. The extenders
are "active" whenever the car is in-service (and sometimes when it is 
not...).

Many of us use our scanners as "police car detectors". All you need to do 
is program in the freq for the extender and then you know that if you get 
a hit on that freq you are within a mile or so of a police car that is 
equipped with an extender. I usually place the extender freq at the start 
*and* in the middle of the scan bank that contains the freqs for the CHP. 
If I get a hit on one of the car-to-car or base-to-car channels I'll hit the 
scan button to see if I get a lock on the extender freq. If I do then I 
know a unit is around. If I don't...

Sometimes I get beeps for persons other than me.  Other times I miss
pages that people sent me.  I'm curious as to how they work.  I know
you're supposed to call the beeper number, then key in the number you
wish to be called at.  Then what happens?  Does a person punch in the
information to a computer, or does a computer do all the work?  Also,
how do alphanumeric pagers work - do you speak your message to a
person who then types it into a computer or what?  Does anyone know
where I could find more information on how the pager actually works?
I'd appreciate any help.  Please email any responses.  Thanks!

  I have a Pro 51 with a 12A3 code and it picks up cell.  After doing the
" 2  9  lockout"   reset  channel 23 shows 888.960 which can be direct
searched from.  I don't know if this code is the date of manufacture but
yours should work. Just remember this will erase all stored freqs.

Try This:
 
R504 (150 ohms) and R505 (47 Ohms) on the Logic & Display board determine the 
illumination brilliance at each of the two Dimmer Switch settings.  From the 
schematic, it appears that removing R504 entirely will extinguish the display 
illumination when the Dimmer Switch is depressed.
 
This would make your scanner match the functionality of the later 2006 
scanners, which replaced the Dimmer Switch with a Display On/Off switch.
 
I can only suggest this mod.  It appears to be a safe one, and only effects 
the display illumination circuits Vcc voltage.  No guarantees, but I think 
this will do what you want.

re: Battery Low indicator always on.

Once you have exhausted all of the obvious things...
(Dead battery, broken battery terminal wire...ect..)

If you have the service manual for reference, check around IC-5 of the
Linear Board in the scanner.
It is set up as a voltage comparator. When the voltage on pin 9 drops
below the reference on pin 10 then the output on pin 8 goes high to the
microprocessor which then annunciates the "LOW BAT" display and beeps.
My service manual says that pin 10 should be around 2.3 volts and pin
9 should be about 4.5 volts (DC).  If these are okay then the output
on pin 8 should be 0. If the inputs are okay and the output is around 5
volts then IC-5 is probably shot. If the voltages on the input don't
correspond the nyou'll have to trace back.  Pin 9 comes from the 9 volts
battery.  Pin 10 comes from an 8.3 volt regulator circuit.  Both are
reduced to the required input voltages by dropping resistors.
Check this out.

I can assist you further if you like.  Drop me an E-mail message.

I have ordered the service manual for the Pro 2037 scanner. Those of
you sharp in electronics might be able to figure out a few mods for
this scanner. I am interested in disabling the "beep" and finding a
source of positive agc voltage for an S-meter. I will send a copy to

This is outrageously overpriced for a used scanner; I just bought theUK
version NEW from Javiation for 250 pounds(UK = around $380).

A reasonable price is probably somewhere in the $300(US) range.

In an addendum to my own reply, I have some egg on my face!  I found that the 
12Vdc power supply I was running had failed, and was only delivering about 
7.5 to 8 Vdc to the scanner.  The scanner operated fine on other bands, but no 
audio was present on active channels previously locked out.
 
When connected to a STIFF 13.8Vdc supply, the scanner picked up the previously 
locked frequencies just fine.  The above mentioned circumstances regarding the 
codes and age of the scanner are correct, but the "Cut L201 Mod" apparently 
DID work after all on this particular scanner.  I guess 11A3 didn't get 
rebuilt after all!

I wonder if it is just 'undiscovered' rather than being 'impossible'.  I have 
seen two mods posted for the 2026.  The first one cuts the jumper L201 on the 
main display board, the second cuts a diode on the same or similar board.
 
My unit has the J201 Jumper.  Before cutting the jumper, the scanner beeps and 
displays 'error' when attempting to enter a frequency in the locked-out area.  
After J201 is cut, the scanner will program with the frequencies in question, 
but do not appear to actually receive these frequencies (no audio).
 
Since the frequencies are accepted by the microprocessor (with the J201 mod), 
there may be a 'two-stage' mod required to re-enable audio, or IF, or whatever 
is missing from the radio side of things.  I just got this scanner and haven't 
spent any time trying to track this down, so I am not sure.
 
Does anyone else have any specific experience with the different versions of 
the PRO-2026?  Mine has a Radio Shack logo in the upper-left corner or the 
front panel (instead of the older "Patrolman"), the RS part number on the box 
(20-148) as an "A" attached to it, but the date code 11A3 seems to indicate 
manufacture before 4/94.

Inside, the main circuit board has an "X" written on the bottom in felt pen, 
and the microprocessor/keypad board has the letter "B" written in similar 
fashion.

 Anyone have more to bring to the 2026 party?

I think you will find that these are "canned" (or maybe "chipped" is a better 
descriptor).  As far as I have been able to determine, these ranges are 
preprogrammed in the microprocessor and are not meant to be modified.  The 
same goes for the similar bands in the Pro-2038.

You can program the Limit Search to your hearts content, though.  The Band 
Search will catch the obvious, you can program the Limit Search to catch the 
rest, bounce what you find into Monitor Memory, and then into one of 100 
channels.  I am not saying it is absolutely impossible, I just don't think 
(in my experience) that you will find that it can be done easily (without a 
microprocessor swap).

Is it possible to mod a PRO-26 to give it more memories?  I haven't seen
this info in any of the standard archives, probably because the 26 is
rather new.

My Pro-51 seems to pick up Cell frequencies or at least images of
them.
I pick them between  857.0000  and  915.000.
My scanner has a 12A3 date code.
Am I getting everything....?
Should I enter the mod?

 I also have a Pro 51 with the 12A3 code on it and the codes work on it.
By using  the codes you get the correct band spacing for what you are
listening to.

It is most likely receiving the transmissions of the dopler radar from
the wheel slip sensors in the newer locomotives.  The dopler radar
checks the speed of the train along the ground and compares each axle
with that speed and corrects wheel slippage via high current relays or
solid state devices that drives each axle.  Buddy Trader,

In my part of Texas, the big threat has never really been getting caught
speeding on an open hiway, but in the small 'speed trap' towns on 
state roads. It is not at all unusual for the speed limit to drop from 
55 to 25 for a period of about 2 miles before jumping back up to 
65. Those are not going to change because of anything the federal 
government has done recently..

The revenues are safe and I still need my detector.

Well, no sooner did I send that off, then did I think of the town of 
Lavon, which is Northeast of DFW, which does exactly what you claim. In 
fact, they were one of the towns that caused the Texas Legislature to 
change the limiting the amount (percentage) of revenue towns could collect 
from motor vehicle fines.

Because the speed limit is a joke that no one obeys. Luckily the NMSL 55 
limit joins Prohibition. Repealed 28 Nov 95. Now some states will keep 
the limit because they need the revenue generated by tickets and low 
limits. Others like Montana have done the smart thing ad established 
limits that are "reasonable and prudent" ie. no set limit. Now doing 120 
will still get you a ticket in Montana so don't think it's an autobahn.

Easy, they won't raise the speed limit. Some states are staunchly opposed 
to raising the limit. The states that do will make up by harvesting other 
speed trap areas (bottoms of hills, etc.) The states have been making 
plenty of money off speed limits and there is no reason to expect them to 
not continue to do so. One way or the other, the states will task the 
police with revenue enhancement.

===============
I'm not so sure that ticket revenue will go down.
My personal belief is that those who speed don't do so to go a certain 
speed, they do so to go faster than the others are going. Raise the speed 
of the others, and the speeders will still speed, to go faster than 
everyone else.

How is that possible? Has Virginia decided to leave the United States?
Jamming a legal transmission is illegal. Even if that transmission is used 
to track your speed (i.e. radar).
That sheriff may have a problem with his legal knowledge.

Quite correct.
However, the above statement says "...transmitting to jam a 
legal signal...", which means that the reason for the transmission is to 
jam another transmission. This is illegal.

Problem is, no one has been able to show that a passive device such as 
being discussed here will accomplish the mission desired.

Here in Indiana they have the new version also.  The price is a bit more 
($12.99), but they did merge "Beyond Police Call" with it.

Not bad, but I sure wish it had actual freqs in use, not just licensed.  
In my area, many of the listings are incorrect as far as usage.

I was looking at the new one for my area (Wyoming)....  They now want 12.95 for
the book but it's supposed to have the extra freqs from "Beyond Police Call" in
it also.  Might be a good deal for an area that's had some changes.

Can't say what the 728EH "decodes" into but EUr 0.11 would signify 
European Firmware Version 0.11 (which still appears to be the current 
version).

I made a big mistake in purchasing a new (last month) PRO-51 scanner and 
have been looking for mods ever since.  I just picked up the Dec. issue of
Monitoring Times, and it has 2 Scanner Converters for sale.  They claim to
move the 800-950 mhz stuff to the 400-550mhz range?!?  
My question is do they work with the PRO-51 scanners? If so, how well? 
1 last question, does anyone have suggestions into which company
makes a good converter?
    Thanks in advance,
                   Clown
P.S.
If anyone has this issue the advertisements are on pages 19 and 51.  
There is also something on page 90.

   I have the GRE Super Converter II. It works with any scanner that has a
BNC connector and receives from 410 to 512. What it does is connect
between the radio and the antenna. Anything on the 800 MHz band you will
now receive 400MHz lower.

My BC3000XLT does something similar, but not in the scenario you 
described. Mine acts weird sometimes when I am in search mode. Unable to 
exactly recreate it (it has to do with some combination of banks turned 
on while searching), so I cannot send it to Uniden for repair before my 
year warranty is up in Jan.

JS>Any info re: freqs used by the Space Shuttle for direct monitoring?

The last I heard, the Shuttle and ground stations both use microwave to
communicate through the TDRS satellites.  It might be possible to build
your own equipment to hear the TDRS satellites directly but I don't have
that info.  Chances are it is a digital data transmission.  It is my
understanding that the other two frequencies commonly posted for the
Shuttle are backup and emergancy frequencies that are seldom used in
flight but might be heard during landing.  The only way you'll hear
anything on those frequencies is if you live within maybe a hundred
miles of the landing site.

The easiest way to hear the Shuttle is to watch NASA Select-TV on the
C-band TVRO satellites.  Many areas have local hams who retransmit the
Shuttle audio from the satellite on local 146 MHz or 444 MHz
frequencies.  I believe somewhere at JPL they have a listing of those
cities where someone retransmits the Shuttle.  If you're a ham or know
someone who is, maybe you can find out on a local repeater.

I think this information is correct but if I'm wrong maybe someone will
correct me.  Bye for now.

The type of reception you are looking at is all VHF/UHF.  Unless you are 
interested in some of the other SW servies I would get a scanner.  
However if you get your No Code  Tech Ham licence you can talk to the 
Space Shuttle using a simple 2m setup.  All you need to buy is a Radio 
Shack Ht-202 and there 30 watt linier(sp) amp, and a good antenna.

Thanks

Does anyone have a list of the known birdies for the SportCat
scanner?  One of our local FD frequencies is 33.66 MHz, which
just happens to be a frequency the SportCat seems to have
have trouble receiving.  If I take off the antenna, the channel
is quiet, but with the antenna on, the scanning always stops
on that particular channel.

Do you have a SportCat scanner?  Try entering this frequency
and please let me know if you're also having the same problem.

Thanks!

If it stops when you take the antenna off, then you are not receiving a

Jim,
I just fired up my SportCat in my office, which is in the basement of
a building (mostly underground to start with) that has lots of
computers, a substation on the other side of my office wall, and other
nasty things that make a scanner useless. My SportCat does not stop on
33.66 in scan mode. Date code is OCID.

My brother recently got back into scanning out in Suffolk county on Long 
Island.  When he went to listen to the county police on the freqs that he had 
previously heard them, they wern't there.  He's been at it several weeks now 
and still no sign of them.  Any ideas as the where they went??

Thanks,

Scott

Hi,

I am planing a trip this weekend from Boston to Chikago and would like to 
take my friends scanner with me for info/entertainment (I am driving alone).
Unfortunately, I have no idea what are the freq's that are used by the truck 
drivers that I could listen to. Can any one help?

Also, if I caught you in a good mood ;), can someone tell me where I can find 
the   freqs for the hway patrol along the way. I understand every police 
department has its own, but I've seen a Bear Tracker that has those 
frequencies preprogrammed for each *state*, so that you only input the
abbreviation for the state you are currently in (like MA, NY etc.).
What are *those* frequencies?

Thanks for your replies,


/Papa

Most truckers are on 27.185MHz AM mode.

That one is easy. I can tell you have never monitored CB. All truckers
talk on CB channel 19 on over the US.

Seems like this is the most asked question but I just bought a BCT7.  Are
there mods available for it?  If so is there a schematic for it?  Also I
noticed that near 900Mhz I seem to pick up quite a few conversations what
is this?  I assume it is 900Mhz cordless.  Please Email reply if possible
to POSI1@AOL.COM

They are talking about PL tones.  They are subaudible signalling tones
used to block out unwanted conversations.  For PA, the state police
use 186.2 for most of their comms.  I have the item you were talking
about.  It is just like the BC-350A mobile scanner, and the BC-700,
with the added ability to monitor the PL tones.  You can pick up CB's
on this thing too.  It works fine as a scanner, but that alert thing
is pretty much worthless.  I live in a town of about 15,000, and it
goes off alll of the time.  I wish there was a way to adjust the
sensitivity of this thing.

I just spent some time fixing up my website so that it will be more useful and enjoyable to people with text-only browsers, or who may be using slow links

The pages are also Netscape and MS Internet Explorer enhanced, so if you have a "bleeding edge" browser there is something special there for you, too.

Yeah, right...I've used fedex 7 times since September and have had only
*TWO* of those packages show up the next day as promised..they've really
fallen down on the job in recent months. The good news is that when they
miss the package delivery, my account doesn't get charged. Also, it may
simply be the Houston/Hobby office that's falling down..

For my money, Express Mail from the Post Office is the most reliable way
to overnight documents and small packages. Never had them fail.

Well I'm pretty much a neophyte at this myself, so you can take it for what 
it's worth, but I highly recommend the PRO-51. I got mine on sale at RS for 
$199 and am very pleased with it. It's got plenty of features without being 
too complicated for us newbies.

Was this a good radio? I've been offered a set for $75. The person selling
them doesn't know if they are VHF/UHF and I really haven't the foggiest.
They come with 1 desk charger.  
 
Can anybody tell me about this model number?

If the frequency tag is still intact, remove the battery from the 
battery compartment.  The freq(s) with PL should be located on a white 
label on the upper housing side.

If you have the exact model number H33 or H23 etc, can tell you the 
exact information (Band, PL or DPL etc).

Spec wise, the MT500 was a good radio.  Costly to recrystal since radio 
used channel elements.

purchase a scanner in the next couple of weeks, but there are so many 
choices.  What would you recommend?  I would like a scanner that has a
very broad range of signals including cellular and cordless (excuse me
for possibly not using the correct lingo, but I will shortly!).  I don't
have a dollar amount that I particularly have to spend, however the less
expensive the better.  I would appreciate your input!  Thanks.

I don't know about the rest of the world but, in Rolla, Missouri, they 
got them about a week ago (I think) and were selling them at $12 where 
the old ones were $9

Just went into my local Rat Shack today here in central California and 
they stated the '96 Police Call won't be in until MARCH!!!!. This seems 
consistent with years past as to when I would be able to get one. What the 
hell is going on? Are different volumes compiled at different times of the 
year? I guess I will be calling Grove here on Mon.

Hi,

I would like to bye some pretty scanner. I don't know which scanner is
better (in Europe market). First one is from AOR - AR2700 and second is
STABO XR-100 (i hope that is right).
AR2700 is much cheaper but only 10x50 memories, 500kHz-1300MHz
STABO XR-100 is more expensive but have 10x100 memories and 500KHz-1300MHz

If somebody have some experience with someone of these scanners, please refer
me your results.....thanks

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^
   
Not sure which radio the Stabo XR-100 is. Provide a few more details if 
you can although from that description it sounds like the 
AR1000/2000, Fairmate HP100/200/2000, Camnis 10 under yet another
badge - I'll have to check but I would have thought this would have been 
the "cheaper" model. It may also be the Yupiteru MVT-7000 under a 
different name.

Stabo are a pretty large German outfit (CB, PMR etc). They did have 
Yupiteru badge the MVT-7100 as the XR-700 I beleive so maybe the XR-100 
is the earlier MVT-7000 which does not have some of the MVT-7100 
features, mainly SSB.

Defintely go with SCANNER MASTER.  Police Call is not as thorough as 
ScannerMaster.  S.M. lists all the frequencies used by a jurisdiction 
which is set up more clearly.  In addition, PL Tones are given in Scanner 
Master and not in Police Call.  I just find S.M. to be more detailed with 
information including which frequencies are for FUTURE USE.  If you or 
anyone is interested in Washington DC Area Frequencies, I can offer 
another book as well.

The scan restart problem you talk about was fixed. Download a new 
sion from the BBS or the FTP site.

As far as importing is concerned, no problems have been reported and our test 
suite runs fine.

If you have a specific problem, please report it to us so we can investigate. 
We provide support for our customers, and fix all problems that are reported, 
but if you don't let us know about it, how can we help you?

You may want to look at some of the other posts here... There is a company in
Canada that must have bought a few and are reselling them.. 
I bought mine in Canada about two months ago and paid $279.00(US) NEW and
walked it back across the border. Radio Shack Canada was having a closeout sale
on them, and I had to get one! Forget the 2005, jump on the 2006 or 2006/a (They 
are identical except the 2006a dimmer switch shuts the backlight completely off).

Get one, they are FANTASTIC!

2006 with Cell mod,improved Headphone mod,S-Meter mod, Speedup Mod
Soon: Linkall 25600 ch mod, CE232 mod...

I got my first scanner recently, but despite all of the literature that
is included, I haven't got enough information to been even somewhat
savvy on what getting the various frequencies mean, etc.

What book(s) and/or associations would you recommend??? Send your

Hi Michael,

I have a 2035, and it's a very good receiver.  It does not,
however, receive cellular, except that it does have a portion
of the cellular band imaged around 1105 MHz.  It is also not
readily modifiable for cellular.  The 2006, which I have not
used, seems to be (or have been) a very popular radio, and
I believe it is modifiable.

It is nice, by the way, to have 1000 channels on the 2035,
but I wish they had distributed them into 50 banks of 20,
instead of 10 banks of 100.  I spend a lot of time locking
out frequencies!  Hopefully, I will recieve the computer
control board for the 2035 from Santa!  This will make
programming much faster.

Good luck!

I have a great solution here... I picked up a 12v battery it is about 6" wide
by 2" deep and about 4"tall.. It is manufactured by CSB Battery company.

This is a completely sealed lead acid type battery, and after talking with 
he folks they tell me it has a shelf life of about 4 years. I also picked up 
a 750ma battery charger (dual voltage not necessary) it looks like one of 
those little transormers for a calculator with a little red light...

I put a MALE cig lighter connector on the end of the charger, and got a Y 
connector cig lighter adapter. I clipped off the male piece 
(that is what I used on the end of the charger), and put a pair of slip on 
lugs on the exposed wires.. I connect the lugs to the battery, plug the 
charger into one of the open Y connectors, and plut the radio into the other.

The radio draws from the 12 volt source all the time, and I never worry about 
power failure.. When the unit is off, it will charge at full level of 
charger, and if I read correctly, the unit only draws about 500ma so even 
when turned on, it still slowly charges the battery...

BTW: When I thake the radio out into the woods, the battery has kept it 
powered for two days and two nights, then I had to come home. The real beauty 
is I can pop it into the cig lighter if the battery ever were to go dead....


I bought everything from ALTEX Electronics in Dallas, Tx. They will do mail 
order, the whole setup cost me about $35 for everything...

Call the Frequency Fan Club, located in Georgia. Their toll free number
is 1-800-RACE FAN.

They have one that sells for about $33.00. It takes 6 AA batteries, and 
fits the BC 200 XLT scanner. I am about to order one myself. It sue would 
come in handy if your area is without power for a long period of time and 
there is no way to recharge the nicad battery that comes with the 200.

Just look at the features, if it says it's got digital trasmission or 
freq hopping or spread spectrum, it won't be picked up by a scanner 
(well, if it's digital it may, but it'll sound like a buzzsaw).

Best bet, go for an Escort or Tropez 900MHz model.

As long as you're considering phones, take a look at the Vtech 960. It's a
secure phone (digital scrambling). I mention it only because of a recent
favorable experience I had with the company. I bought an earlier model
about 5 months ago and it started having trouble (noise, mainly). I sent
it off for repair to Vtech. About a week later, they sent me a new unit,
one that replaces my old unit, along with an extra rechargeable battery.
They stand by their product...

Howdy!

I've just revamped my scanning Web page and need your help. I've added a 
Web page that will automatically list your scanning URL simply by filling 
out a form. This way the page will reflect the latest changes and 
additions.

PLEASE! check it out and add your info as it is starting from scratch. 
Feel free to add other scanning URLs that are *not* on the list. Feedback 
is welcomed and encouraged.

This sounds neat, but has anybody developed a robust search
service that will allow for interactive contribution of
information and searching on that information?

We have a local bbs here for scanner freaks, but it is so
overloaded with redundant, old, and just plain wrong information
that it is of little value anymore. A fancy Web page which
lets me find the fire frequencies for Fairfax County or
all users in Florida of 154.415 would be neat!

If nobody has done this, then this has to go onto the
"To Do" list.

I have a DSP modem that decodes ACARS. It is somewhat interesting. If
you log the stuff to disk you can go back and look at everything for
tha last xx hours. Most of the stuff is telemetry, engine and oil
temperatures etc. There are different types of messages, most of them
about four lines long. Occasionally there is a text message like "need
translator, pilot speeks only Czeck" (this one is real).

good luck 

Bruce.

Hello:

I'm thinking about buying an AOR 8000 handheld, and want to use my computer
to control it. I have seen three different interfaces sold: one by EDCO, one
by Opto, and the other by AOR.

I would like to hear from people who have one or the other of these
interfaces and what they like or dont like about their particular one.

I know they'd all do the job, but I would like to find out from those who
have used them which one they think is better.

Also interested in which software you are using and if you like it.


Thanks in advance for your input- I'm looking forward to having fun with a
great handheld scanner and want to make the best decision for the interface.

    As of Sunday 26 Nov, Atlanta police are on the new public safety trunk.
Fire is simulcasting on their old VHF frequencies, and the mobiles haven't
made the conversion yet.

    The new frequencies are:
        858.2375  .4375  .7625  .9375
        859.2375  .4375  .7625  .9375
        860.2375  .4375  .7625  .9375

    Two frequencies (859.7625 & 860.2375) were locked out by the third day
of operation (apparently technical problems / interference) and 858.4375 is
reserved for phone patch unless the system saturates. Add the control channel
(alternating between 858.7625 and 859.2375) and they're left with eight usable
channels.

From what I've read, this is what TV Marti does in the Florida Keys to 
get their antenna up 10,000 feet, in order to deliver their signal to 
Cuba 90 miles away. I'll bet their balloons are a bit larger, though.

I think I saw an 800Mhz mod for this model in the Cheek 3 mod book, but it is

I have a BC200XLT handheld scanner I bought years ago. The battery
pack (NiCad) last only about 5 or 6 hours. I bought a 2nd battery
pack for it though. Same thing. Is this about the right time frame?
Also what is the best way to discharge these completely to charge
them up? Seems I heard some HAMS say that it's better to completely
discharge a Nicad pack before charging as it makes the pack last longer.
Also any tips on battery care would be useful. Is there a regular
battery pack I can get for this scanner? If so do you have a number
to call and order those? Thanks in advance.

Every so often it's a good idea to leave your scanner on and run the
batteries DRY before recharging - this helps relieve "memory effect" which
is what happens to NiCad batteries which are still partially charged when
they're recharged - they won't hold as much power.

I stopped by a local battery store yesterday and bought some NiMH
(Nickel-Metal-Hydride) AA's for my scanner.  They're rated at about
1200mAh rather than 650 (which is the standard NiCad rating) and last
about twice as long, possibly longer, though they require 20 hours to
charge fully.  Another nice thing about NiMH is that they don't have a
memory effect and don't care whether you store them discharged, fully
charged, or somewhere in between (though if you've kept them in a drawer
for two years you might consider recharging them before you use 'em.)

A friend of mine who works at LinnTronics in Phoenix said that there's
NiMH AA's from a Chinese company that are rated at 1600mAh, which will
give you a battery life of almost three times as long as standard NiCads. 
Not sure how this corresponds to Alkaline rechargeables, Alkaline regular
batteries, or Lithium Ion, though.

The NiMH AA's that I got were about $5 apiece, though my friend says that
I got ripped off at that price.  :)

I dunno about packs, but most smaller electronics (as long as they're not
very specialized like cel phone packs) are basically NiCad AA's on the
inside - it's generally pretty simple to crack them open, swap in NiMH
batteries, and hot-glue it back together.

While NiCds can benefit from an occasional deep discharge
it will limit their useful cycle life. (See the Journal of
Power Sources).  In general,  avoid deep discharges,
avoid overcharging, avoid charging them at low or high
temperatures (roomtemperature is best).  Store them cold in a
fridge to slow their selfdischarge and other thermally driven
internal processes (separator decay, dendritic growth etc).

For the longest life charge them using a pulse type charger.

Alkaline AA cell: 2.4Ah. Lithium 3x that ?

The early versions of that scanner had an incorrect low batt sensing
problem and would shutoff when the pack was only half used up.
This was discussed heavily in the scanner newsgroups, and the
mod was simple to disable it (I did so on mine).  Bob Parnass
and others reported 9-11 hours life after the mod.

My orig nicad pack is still working on my BC200XLT, (7 or 8 years
old now?? when the 200XLT first came out)..  Several times I had a
dumbass attack and left the scanner on, running the pack dead,
and it didnt seem to be damaged.

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with the uniden bearcat 200XL.
I would like to know how old it is....    and also, how to get a
replacement battery pack.  (Not just the nicad cell itself but the
whole pack that clips on to the bottom of the scanner.)

E-mail would be the best way to reply.

Thanks.

I managed to lock up the search feature on this scanner.  I think I
either:

Put in two out of range freq. as the upper and lower range in the search
mode  OR

Put in a out of range freq. as the upper and the same (out of range) freq.
as the lower.  

In any event, I want to unlock without losing all the programing.

Thanks for your help.......

Try replacing C98 which is a capacitor...I had the same problem that you
are experiencing with all four of my BC-300's.  You can pick the part of
at any Radio Shack store.  You need a 22uf, 30 volt capacitor and the
problem should go away.  The orginal capacitor burns up because it can't
handle the 12volts coming from the scanners power supply.  I have some
other frequency expansion tips for the BC-300 if your interested.  Its all
done from the radios keyboard too.  Let me know.

I'm a newbie and can't find the FAQs or FAFs for this Newsgroup. I want
to get involved and want to get a handheld (portable? Don't know the
terminology yet) unit for around $150-200, but would like to benefit
from the expertise of this group and avoid mistakes, get best unit,
etc.  Any help *greatly* appreciated.

Timing of vehicles between two fixed objects is not legal in California 
for enforcing speed laws.  It is considered a "speed trap".  Speed traps 
are defined and prohibited in the CA vehicle code.

I was told (have to go by what I was told, since I have never been up in 
a CHP plane) that the airplane is timed between the fixed distance marks 
and the "target" car is paced by the plane.

Some questions first...is this for an AM or FM walkie-talkie ?
(FM, I trust !  Class-C will distort the hell out of an AM signal)
Secondly, for what frequency range ?

They should be the same for everywhere in the country. Last time I was in

Assuming that these things are still in use (I haven't been on a
commercial aircraft since 1992) -- Does anyone know the freq(s) used to
link the cordless handset of the cordless phones in airliners to the
bulkhead-mounted "cradle" which holds the handset and accepts your credit
card swipe? Just for technical curiosity only, of course. Thanks

  I got the impression he was asking for freq used between the cordless 
handsets & equipment WITHIN the aircraft (which I thought used IR or 
something), & not the standard 454/459MHz Air/ground stuff.

Fairley cheap, still good, and computer control are mutually exclusive terms 
when it comes to scanners!

Define cheap, but good... Scanner and interface combo will set you back
anywhere from $400 to $1400.

It's not cheap, but the AR8000 would be a good choice.  With scanner,
interface, and software, around $800.  Worth it though if you
are super serious about scanning.  Maybe someone can recommend
a cheaper solution that still has computer control?

Is the AR8000 a portable? And, if so, is it the one I heard
that sounded like the speaker was buried beneath a mile of mud?

I hope the rest of their line sounds better than the one
I heard.

If you buy a digital radio, program in the freqs (not talkgroups), set the
radio to use digital, I would think the radio could be used as a scanner.

No you wouldn't have talk group following but you would have the ability
to monitor the digital transmissions as long as they are not encrypted.

True, I agree that could be possible, but on trunking, without knowing 
the talkgroup, you would hear all, Fire, Police Ambulance, Dog Catcher, 
etc.  Not really fun.

73's

p.s.  I noticed that Motorola is cracking down on people having the 
software to program radios. (that they are not licensed for)

  In the Motorola world, their trunk radios requires both the Radio 
Software of the radio and the EXACT system Key to program frequencies. 
Without the key, the Radio Service software only lets you set MINIMAL 
things.  This KEY is only sold to the proper people.  If you are found 
to have a copy, watch out...........

I recently read that Florida had very strict laws regarding scanners in
cars. Can anyone point me in the direction of the legal stuff on this?? or
let me know what the general laws are?? I am going to be in Florida next
week and would like to take and use my scanner. Thanks, Lee.

A couple of years ago when I was stopped by a St.Lucie county Fla. deputy
I was told that the scanners in my truck were unlawful unless I possessed
a valid amateur radio license. I showed him my FCC General Class 
Radio Telephone license and it seemed to satisfy him.

Also he indicated that handhelds were not forbidden, only permanently mounted
units.

Your mileage may vary!

Believe it or not, the law only applies to scanners that are "permanently 
mounted" in a vehicle.   Therefore, handhelds are legal.

You may have already done this, but if not, go to Radio Shack and pick
up a copy of Police Call or Police Call Plus, and/or Beyond Police Call.
Will have MANY frequencies for NH.

I'm heading to Omaha NE for the holidays.  I'll be travelling on 
Interstate 80 all the way across Iowa.  Does anybody have the frequencies 
for the Iowa State Police?  Since I'm going through Omaha as 
well, how about Omaha/Ralston/Papillion Police frequency info?

Thanks in advance,

It is just swapping the high and low frequencies in your voice.  It 
results in a "Donald Duck" sound.  Ask a friend with a radio capable of 
receiving single sideband to tune in a signal with the wrong sideband 
setting--that is what inverted speech sounds like.  

With some practice some folks can learn to understand inverted speech.  
To counter this, some manufacturers of phone privacy devices have done a 
bit more complicated scrambling scheme they split the frequency spectrum 
into a number of ranges and interchange them.  Others invert the 
frequency spectrum of some ranges.

An even more complex scheme is to do the range scrambling in frequency 
and then swap segments in time over a short (say 120 ms) region.  All of 
this to obscure your voice without taking up more bandwidth than it did 
orignally.

Of course at the other end the voice signal has to be reconstituted by 
doing the inverse of what scrambled the speech originally.

Simple frequency inversion is very similar to single sideband.  Voice is fed 
to a mixer, and a tone is injected.  The voice's high frequency energy is 
"mirrored" (or "inverted) into the low frequencies and vice-versa.  This makes
 
the voice sound like Donald Duck.
 
At the receiving end, the same thing is done using the same injection  
frequency.  When tuned properly, it sounds very similar to the original voice.
 
 If the injection frequency is off, the voice sounds like someone who has 
swallowed helium (if it is too high) or a frog (if it is too low).  This is 
all over-simplified, but it igives you a simple illustration of what is 
happening. 

There are kits (Ramsey  Electronics) and integrated circuits (MX Com) made for
 
doing this very thing, so you could make your own.

This is for all you scanner experts:

I know you can perform a mod on the PRO-2006 for full 800Mhz operation 
but what about the newer PROs like 2036, 2037, and 2040.  Can mods be 
made on any of them for full 800 Mhz scanning?

I'm told you can't do any mods on the new Bearcats because it's just not
possible.  Is this true?

model BC140 really just need a schematic. The unit has real low
audio and won't stop when scanning. Sounds like a RF problem
or it could be a power supply problem. There's a 7 volt reg
and it checks good after that I need a schematic.

Allo, I got this scanner from my friend and I have no idea what the heck it
it! It is an Icom unit, has an LCD on the top that shows the channels when
it scans. It has a number pad on the frond, a removable batter pack on
the bottom of the unit. It has a mic attatched to it(I think you can talk
through this mic). It's got a Volume and Squelch nobs on the top of the
unit. What is this? Is it a two-way radio/scanner, CB scanner or what?
Does anyone know anything about this thing? How much can I get for it if
I sell it(most likely I will 'cuz I don't use it at all). Thanks for you
help.

These "med" channels are used nationwide although some regions may not use 
them. If you do not hear any traffic on them, then try the HEAR radio 
channels. 155.340, 155.160 are two that I can think of off hand. There are 
more. Also try:

462.950  "MED9"   dispatch
462.975  "MED10"  dispatch

I can't be sure but as the '25 is "new generation" I would supect that the 
coverage is written within the CPU rather than supported by a matrix of 
diodes etc. I would supect the only way to get yourself the 29-54MHz 
coverage rather than (and not aswell as) 66-88MHz is to replace the CPU 
with one from Tandy National Parts in the USA, you will also loose part 
of the 800MHz :-(

The stock code you has is 20-9505 ?

YMMV though, I dunno.

First, you are assuming that those frequencies are possible with your scanner.
 
 Secondly, you are assuming that they are programmed into the scanners 
firmware, but are simply hidden from you.  Thirdly, you assume a modification 
of some sort is possible to bring these back.
 

 
Try searching the web...there are a ton of scanner-related web-sites.  
According to the info I have seen, the US model has the 29-54 band.  Does 
yours substitute another VHF Lo band instead?
 
I have not seen ANY mods for this scanner.  That doesn't mean that they don't 
exist.  If no one responds, doing a web search may help you determine if 
anything at all is possible along those lines.

On Friday of last week, I received the 2006 scanner I ordered from
Durham Radio in Ontario.  As advertised, the scanner was new, in the
box, with manuals etc.  It has full coverage of the 800Mhz band.  I am
completely satisfied with the radio, and with Durham, who delivered
exactly what they promised to me.  I stopped by my local RS to pick up
some connectors to allow taping, and showed the radio to a salesman
that I know there who is also a ham operator.  We both agree that the
radio was new, not a refurbished unit.  He sold me the connectors I
needed, and got me the 2006 service manual that I ordered through him.
The service manual took about 10 days to arrive.  He ordered it from
national parts. 

Just a note to other who are considering ordering a radio from outside
of the U.S.: The package containing my radio was opened by US Customs.
I had to pay about $20 import duty when I picked up my radio at the
post office.  I assume that this amount is based on the $309 US price
of the radio.  There was no indication that the operation of the radio
was examined.  I just paid the $20 and took it home.

The top of the line model can hold 255 "modes" which roughly translates

How does it aim the laser accurately enough to hit a distant target??

Afterr the nice thread on Radar Jammers, I though I'd let everyone know 
there is now a LASER JAMMER. Built by Advanced Radar Componenets it's the 
Interceptor LZR and actually uses a laser, whoa! Now a laser jammer would 
be perfectly legal (no law I know of that regulates the use of IR).

I don't know. I suppose it has a strobe, LED's, or something to start the 
jam while the laser is steered toward the threat. Buy me one and I'll 
tell you;-)

It's just a device that uses an IR LED to emit IR in the range of just
over 900 ns.  Similar to the license plate laser "jammer", which doesn't
work either.  They're used by people called "defendants".

Here are a few others the Pro-51, Pro-29, and the Pro-25.
These Scanners are the new ones, but as he said the is no internal
mods for these scanners just a keyboard mod

Some of the freqs for the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN have 
changed, here are the new ones, along with some other stuff I found while 
x-mas shopping:

853.1375
851.5125
854.4125
858.6125
859.6125 (often is control channel)
860.6125
861.4625 (old primary channel -- may not be used anymore)
865.4625 (old secondary channel -- may not be used anymore)

*** note:  this is a motorola trunked system.  The freqs are listed in 
order of activity.  The majority of the traffic comes in on the first two 
(853 & 851).
The old system (freqs: 858-865) were listed in the '94 FCC Database as 
belonging to Motorola Company in Bloomington.  The 

They seem to be using standard APCO 10 codes, with the addition of "code 
10" which means everything is under control.
Callsigns are: 100's = security, 200's = housekeeping, 300's = 
maintenance, 400's = management (??), 1300's = parking lot attendants.  
There are some new ones in the 2100 & 2200 range which seem to be 
addtional security personel.

Other freqs:
462.175 Melvin Simon & Associates (management company of Mall)
154.625 Macy's pager
464.825/469.825 Macy's security
463.8125 Bloomingdales 
464.3875 Blommingdales
463.8375/468.8375 Nordstroms
464.0875 Nordstroms
464.2625 Nordstroms
462.8125 General Cinema (movies theater at mall)

Let me know what else your find.

I have an Icom R! that I haven't used in a while. I would like to
start using it again, but except for the simplest operations, I need
to remember how to program the keyboard. Of course, I don't remember
and cannot find the manual. Where can I get a replacement catalog or a
copy of a catalog??

Anybody Know?

Thanks,

I've poked around on some great web pages/ftp archives, 
like "KC5KTO's Radio Shack Scanner Modification Page" at
http://rever.nmsu.edu/~weasel/scanner/mods.html, 
but haven't been able to find the answer to the following questions:

Does anyone have a listing of mappings of the Uniden / Radio Shack
models, preferably the handhelds?  I know some of the RS PRO-XX
handhelds are made by Uniden, and I'd like to find the "sister"
unit to the PRO-51, and the others for that matter.  

Also, does anyone have a ranking of the RS PRO-XX/Bearcat handhelds
in order of performance/features?  I know KC5KTO's list is in
numerical order, AND that  a listing by "performance" is very subjective,
but I'd like to find out where my PRO-51 stands, and which models
are "better" than it.

Thanks!

Especially at the price you paid... I suspect that the database
software included with the CD (cost a whopping $29 if my memory is
working) will do what you ask and then some... the WWW server is, IMO,
a teaser designed to let you find out if the freqs you want are on the
CD. If you want to get at them in a more friendly way, buy the CD.

Sounds like you are talking about the PerCon SPECTRUM CD.
I have the Winter 95 edition, and find that the speed of a search on my 
486-66 is  s l o w  in WIN 95. I use the DOS version instead.
Something else I've found that really makes this easier for me is to break 
thefreq DB into somewhat logical chunks of frequencies, do a frequency 
range search, output the results to a .DBF file, then use my regular 
database program to message it from there. That way, I get the searches 
*I* want, faster than off the CD.
Works for me.

Hmmm. Too bad. I put the CD on my Christmas list. Probably too late to
do any good though. Most everyone that I might expect something from
does their shopping throughout the year and puts the stuff away. One
year we (my wife and I) kind of forgot who we had all bought stuff for
when we were at a rather unique shopping area and wound up having many
more gifts than we needed that Christmas.

Sounds like it would work for me too. Hmmm, can VB 4Pro access the
database files? Sounds like a project waiting to happen...

I think there is a radio called BearTrakker that acts as a STATE COP
detector.
Does anyone know what frequencies are used by OHIO,INDIANA,KENTUCKY?
Or any other state? Where are these Freqs in general and what do they
sound like? What is the best detector Mode to hear them? AM-FMn-SSB?

Have an R-7000 to listen with.   

Thankyou

seen the US laws posted here, but are there any special laws concerning
mobile scanners and radar detectors in Canada? Any information would be
appreciated.

Paul,

I can't say about scanners, but radar detectors have been 
illegal, at least as of fall of 1992, my last of six trips on
the ALCAN.

I got one of those small active matrix lcd color TV's for Xmas, and it

The Radio Shaft "high capacity" nicads (gold sleeve) give you the most
bang for the buck in mass-market nicads. 

Depending on the power requirements of your TV, nicads (which have
slightly lower terminal voltage than alkalines) may not give good
performance regardless of capacity.

I think Grove Enterprises offers a service to restore full
800 MHz freq coverage for the Icom R7100 and R100 for about $40
but I don't know the technical details:

      Grove Enterprises, 300 S. Highway 64 West,  Brasstown,
      NC  28902.   For  a  free catalog, call (704)837-9200.
      Telephone (orders only): (800)438-8155.

My R7100 was manufactured before the deletion of 800-900 MHz.

Does anyone have experience with Opto's Interceptor? I'm interested in
the FM model. Anyone have one for sell? I like the idea on this
broadband receiver but kind of concerned about it stopping on every
radio and television station around. How much are the filters selling
for? Thanks everyone! george-

In my experience, the Scout only picks up VERY close transmitters.  Say,
300 ft. or less.  With base antenna, maybe 1/2 mile.  It's very handy if
you have an interesting radio transmitter nearby, say a MedEvac
helicopter, but useless for much of the stuff that the AR8000 picks up
easily, like the general aviation freqs at the airport 2 miles away.

Where can one find what it *does*, without all the sales pitch hype?
I already know that it disables the local front-panel controls,
so it is useless for anything other than remote control.

I really don't know much else about it besides lots of vague statements
followed by lots of bangs (!!!).

Any pointers to facts? Or just plain list of things it does?

  Being an avid listener to all county communications, I'm wondering if 
anybody has inside information on the new 800 mhz. digital radio system 
that the county is going to install.  Is the county going to receive a 
Motorola ASTRO digital system???  I'm hoping that the digital system 
falls through and it just goes analog like the county fire radio system. 
 This radio system seems to work excellent.  All I know through research 
is the county has licenses for approxamently 55  866-868 mhz. public 
safety freqs.  I saw recently that the FCC was threatening to revoke the 
licenses if no work was started on the radio system, this is due to the 
fine investments that our county made ( in other words we are very 
bankrupt )
  My second question about this radio system is I thought that public 
radio systems are regulated by APCO. If this is true, is Motorola allowed 
to trademark its controlling software because it is designed using APCO 
protocols and requirements.  If and when our fine county goes digital, 
wound it be illegal to have a Motorola radio programmed to monitor local 
police agencies? 
  Please feel free to post info regarding my questions on this posting or 
e-mail.  Hopefully someone from Motorola can give me some answers or 
anybody else with some good info.

Hi there:

To answer your APCO question, being a member of APCO for only a couple 
of years, APCO has had a number of projects over the years that 
addresses different radio systems in general.  APCO is the coordination 
arm for public safety communications.  

Reguarding Project 25:  Digital Trunking, APCO basically put out 
standards they felt that different manufactors should have in their 
system.  There has been a lot a debate from basically Motorola and 
Ericsson on this. It concerned technical aspects that are too lenghtly 
to get into.

Basically, One aspect of Project 25 was the DIGITAL one and the other 
open protocol for different manufactors to come in and be cross 
licensed.

On the issue of having a radio programmed to the county's system.  I 
think before this is done, you should do research on the conviction of 
the people in Tulsa, OK who had the capability and also sold radios to 
others that did this.  There has been a lot of debate.  They were 
convicted in Criminal court and now faces civil.  Motorola has posted on 
their web page their filing of charges.  This can be found at:

WWW.MOT.COM under press releases.


73's and hope this kind of answers your questions.

Happy Holidays!!!

I tried that, and lost backlighting on both setings.  I have a non A model
that has the mod, but it appears that in addition to removing R504, there
is a resistor jumped across to pads.  Next time I have it open, I'll
post the mod.

Hmmmm... according to the schematic, this ought to work just fine.  If they 
changed the circuitry without updating the schematic, then some detective work
 
is in order.

I wanted to do the same thing on my 2004 radio.  I ended up cutting
the copper of the circuit board on one of the legs of the spdt switch
that normally controlled brightness.  Now, I have full brightness and
full darkness.  You might want to do the same.  If you want to un-do
it later, simply solder a jumper across the copper run that you had
cut.

I'm doing the 64 block memory mod. on my Pro 2006 scanner.
That's 25,600 memory channels.
I'm all so installing the CE-232 interface.
Now here is want to know...
I'm looking for more info on how to change the blocks thru the CE-232
or the key pad.
I have heard of LINKALL which sounds real good in how it operates.
and it sounds like what I'm looking for.
I sent a SASE to them for more info but they have not answered yet.
so I need to know if any one has tried this system or knows another one 
like it.
and where I can get info on it.  Bill's Book  Cheek 3! tells about 
Linkall but not how to 
build one or one like it.

Thanks.

I left my 2006 in my car over the COLD weekend and the speaker is now 
sounding very muffled.  I know it is only the speaker, because I hooked 
up an alternate and everything else was OK.  Can anyone suggest a 
replacement speaker, or is it best to just replace the original with the

However, it is still a great scanner.

I know. I know.  I just noticed a sale on them at Radio Shack.  I lowered
the price in another post, but if anyone wants it for around $300, I'll
certainly be willing to talk.

Grove doesn't sell 26's; I believe they sell PRO-43's though for around
this price which are better in some ways (800Mhz) and worse in others (no
programmable steps and some [slight] gaps).

Owen,

    No secret at all. You can get a Pro-43, brand new, in the box, with
warranty *and* the cell mod already done from Durham Radio Sales and
Service. They are located in Canada, so FCC regulations don't apply the
same as they do here in the states.

    You can check out their Web pages (lots of the *good* stuff) by
pointing your browser at  or you can E-Mail
them at  if you don't have a browser. I suppose you
could even pick up the phone and call them at 905-436-2100.

    I bought a Pro-2006 from them and it came exactly as advertised, brand
new, in the box, with warranty *and* the cell mod already done and it only
cost $309 (US)! I don't think they have many more 2006's. I heard from a
guy I referred to them that they were tracking down all they could find
and putting people on a waiting list for them. He said they *do* have the
Pro-43's though.

   Cuth ought to contact these folks. Sounds like his scanner needs
service in a big way.

    I'm just a satisfied customer and I'm happy to send anyone else their
way. Good luck.

John

Anyone have any ideas why a newer Pro-43 would lose its sound?
Is this a common failure? Is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanx for all the help everyone, I found out (under better lighting) that 
I had reversed the diode and that is what caused all of the problems. 
I've since fixed it and am enjoying scanning bliss. :)

    You can only restore what was there to begin with. There's no front
end circuitry in the 2005 for the 520-760 MHz range.

These frequencies are allocated to TV channels 22 through 69. There is
little reason to monitor these frequencies as I understand it. Does 
anyone know of

  Well .... 608-614 MHz (Ch 37) is allocated to the universe . That range
is restricted to radio astronomy in Region 2 (the Americas) and no xmitters
are allowed. Other than that and a few international fixed authorizations in
parts of Alaska and southern Florida, it's all broadcasting.
  Note, however, that includes Auxilliary Broadcasting, so you'll find some
wireless mikes and similar uses on otherwise vacant channels.

I think that this band was also skipped supposedly due to the fact that many 
(most) of the significant birdies generated by the internal clocks and 
conversions in this model wind up in this band, so it was convenient to 
exclude this band from coverage.

When the C.A.M.P. helicopters AREN'T up and about there are another group
called C.O.M.E.T. They are listed in several Calif. goverment directories.
You'll find the listing in the Mendicino County. Could you look it up for
me and send it my way. I'm pretty sure its 154.???mhz,  I'd appreciate any
C.A.M.P. frequencies too.

Looking for answer:

What is the difference between narrow FM and wideband FM?
It seems the "newer" scanners have both, whereas mine doesn't.
What does this limitation entail?


               Any thoughts appreciated!

I do not know where you live, but in Texas, the signs are already up. 
Obviously the states that chose not to raise the limit to 65 when given 
the chance will not raise it now, but the fact is most states are going to 
raise it.

Sure, the highways are filled with people who will drive with reckless 
abandon, but the fact is many people cannot/will not drive over 75. For 
example, my CJ-7 will not go over about 65. Even a small reduction of say 
2-3% in ticket revenue, will be significant.

Well, since most of us don't have the magazine (and the local news stand

Or in the case of Austin, Texas, 55 despite the fact that much of the city
could be safely driven at 10-20 mph over that.  While a lot of people got 
lucky with the repeal, we just got screwed.

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.  Someone is obviously NOT getting the message.

Lets suppose that I have a particular radar that keeps giving me trouble.  You
 
know, fines and such.  The FCC says that I can't LEGALY and intentionally 
interfere with that signal.  Okay, no big deal.  I aquire another piece of 
equipment that performs some other function, say, checking the surface of the 
road for icing or other slippery conditions, maby even other vehicles.  If 
that device just happens to transmit in the band of the radar, I haven't 
violated the law.  I just haven't had a complaint about my "Road condition 
monitor."   

Get the picture?

Try Scan*Star for Windows. Even though the other programs claim high 
performance, Scan*Star for WIndows is the ONLY WIndows based scanning software
 
that can reliably operate the OS456/PRO2006 at 50 channels per second. We can 
say this because we have tested the others on the bench and have measured scan
 
speed with an o-scope.

Check out the demo at http://www.scanstar.com

Scanstar & Probe seem to be the leaders. Probe takes longer to set up and 
has auto logging. Scanstar is quicker to use. Scanstar speciallizes in 
Windows version Probe in dos that can be used on any computer.

I would advise trying Scan Star. Give that this person repeatedly suggests
it--supposedly as an objective response--without ever disclosing the fact
that he's involved with the company indicates that he is less than
reputable. Try Scan Cat Gold, Probe, Scanner Ware or any other product but
his!

Look at a map, and pick the closest Canadian city... They ALL have Radio 
Shacks!

If you are looking for a deal on 2006's which I was able to get one for 
$270(US) new, good luck. I had to go to Radio Shack Canada National HQ in 
Ontario, and they told me that nationwide they had about 300 units left. 
That was in September... It was a week after the sale, but the guy got me one 
anyway... I had planned on paying my mom back (she lives in Canada and 
picked it up and mailed it to me), but she called and said Merry Christmas! 
Aren't moms great!

If you can find one, sale or not, GET IT! GET IT! GET IT!!!

     ocassionally you will hear stuff that goes into and out of crypto mode!

 o Corporate Conferences - sometime very revealing stuff from the Fortune 500

 o digital stuff - some packet, some rtty, ARQ-E3, etc etc...some crypto, some
    in the clear. Buy a Universal Radio Digital Terminal, it gets em all.

Joe is right. It's one helluva scanner. I got mine from Durham Radio Sales
and Service for about $309 (US). They are at
 or you can call them at (905)436-2100.
They also have the *good* Pro-43's!

The newer versions of RealAudio (2.0) support live audio feeds - even if
the PD doesn't allow a _direct_ connection, I imagine that someone local
could just hook up a scanner to the sound input on a computer and let it
run.  There aren't any laws about what you can put on repeaters, and this
is sort of a repeater, right?  It'd be completely nonprofit and as long as
there's a graphic saying "brought to you by RealAudio" or something you
could probably strike a deal with them to give you a lisence for the
server for free.  Good publicity and all.

Try 461.1625 and 461.1675 simplex. 

That's what Sears Pasadena (north east of Los Angeles used 4 years 
ago - but trust me, it's dull listening. All I ever heard in a month 
of listening was the base telling one or two plainclothes snoops 
to call him (on the phone).
After 4-5 weeks I used that slot in my scanner for something else.

Why would anyone want Loss Prevention freqs, unless they were wanting to
know when the plainclothes were on the other side of the building so you
could walk off with merchandise.

(This ends up costing everybody in higher prices)

Not in Amerika we don't. In 1927 congress gave us the "RIGHT" to listen to 
anything on the air. That was when we were a free country. These "rights" are 
bieng infringed daily. Try writting to congress. Who knows, someone might 
listen.

I have Used An R-70 in the FMn Mode to to tune one or two subcarriers on
some of my local FM Broadcast Stations.

Using the Antenna Coax from the R-70 you just pick around in some cheap
old
table radio using a small coupling capacitor (to avoid grabbing DC!)
untill you find the DETECTOR output. Leave the Radio tuned around 60KHz or
90 Khz I forget
what the (2) Freqs are.

I got a program called Radio Reading service for the blind where
volunteers would read from the local Cincinnati Paper. There was some
shopping center background music that was of poor audio quality (and MONO)
but now that MUZAK has become a Satellite service (HAVE you seen the BP
gas stations?)
the music is going away in favor of some digital stuff. I called one
station and they
said the BUZZING sound was digital stock quotes. Have you seen the
scrolling Displays used ion some bars and restaurants? Sports Scores etc. 
I Think this is
all SCA stuff.  ALSO I know that one SPORTS SCORES diplay at the local
SUBWAY restaurant was rented from a local UHF TV station. WXIX TV19 I
think.

NOW I would like to know.....are there any SCA carriers allowed on TV?

Let me know what you find out.

Help! I'm totally new to this group and scanners in general. My wife hs
hinted that she would like a police scanner to listen to police and
ambulance broadcasts. Her mom used to work on an ambulance and has one and
so it's a "comfort sound" for her.

Other than going to Radio Shack, can anyone offer me or direct me to any
advice on an appropriate scanner?

Thanks for any help you could provide. I don't keep up with this group so
e-mail would be much appreciated!!

I just found the excellent Introduction to Scanning article and read the
intro. It sounds like a PRO-60 or PRO-62 from Radio Shack would be
appropriate?

91.21 applies to all U.S. civil aircraft, incuding general aviation
(private) operations, not just airliners.  Just a clarification.

You can also take a look at the FAA's "Advisory Circular No. 91.21-1".  
This is a publication from the FAA used by aircraft operators to help
them set their policies.  Remember that an AC in not regulatory in
itself.  It is to assist operators in comlying with federal aviation
regulations.  The airline and/or pilot in command can set a more
strict policy on the use of PEDs at their discretion.

I have the AC text available at

I got the 'PD' , built the H/ware, and it seems to work fine, however a static
-
free signal is quite important in getting garble-free messages, as you would
expect. But it does time-out after 5 min's, and the shareware version does not
log to disk. So what we all need is something better, mayby PGP'd and posted
to alt.binaries.misc with conventional encryption using 'pager' as the passphr
ase.
That would be nice.

I have a listing of all space shuttle frequencies used.  If you would like
them I will mail them to you.  

I would disagree with being able to hear the shuttle within a hundred miles
of the landing site.  It would be more like a 100 feet.  The microwaves will
be absorbed before they get off of base. :-)

As far as monitoring the shuttle, it depends a lot on what you want to hear.
When you monitor the ham bands you need to understand that hams like to talk
and transmit with complete disregaurd for others.  It never fails, that right
when something good is going to happen, someone wants to talk.  I would not
even consider monitoring the ham bands if you are serious about what you 
want to hear.  I would go right for the satellite.  If you are near 
Edwards AFB, or KSC, you can hear NASA Select TV being retransmitted on
169.400 MHz.  I can hear Edwards all the way out to Palmdale.  Small hills
block Edwards from the west to east to north.  I can hear them in most places
on the base.

Mixing of a lot of transmitters can cause a image signal that the scanner 
will spit out like the original signal... TV VHF broadcast is more in the 
300-400 meg range and uhf is around 600-700 megs... 

That isn't exactly what is going on, but close enough.

I'm not 100% sure but I thought it was a digital CDMA phone with encryption?

Anybody know if the Tropez model DL or NDL 900 is a spread spectrum
phone?

I am curious if it is or has equivalent digital encryption so a
scanner cannot effectively pick it up.

Also, anybody have comparisons of the Tropez and other 900MHz phones?

Thanks for your time.

==============================

Actually, they are talking about 'extenders", a radio link from the patrol 
car to the officer, designed to allow the officer to use his handheld 
radio with the power of the car's radio.
Not all departments use them, and they are not always on when the officer 
is *in* the car.
As a method to finding out where the bears are while on the road, this is 
a poor alternative to a CB radio. The truckers will let you know where the 
bears are, extender or no.

Anyone have some pointers to a UNIX driver for the PRO2006-OS/456
combo?

I've got the technical reference including commands, and have managed
some basic control of the scanner, but am having problems with some of
the advanced features such as pre-loading the "next" frequency and then
tuning it.

The 1995 Pro-51 is being sold at Radio Shack for $199, w/ manuals and
never used.  Its a good deal, but you have to MOD it, which only
requires hitting a few buttons.

Not anymore.   I just bought a PRO-51 (yep, it's still $199 - until xmas),
BUT the kaypad mod doesn't work on the newer models.  When RS (or the FCC)
found out that people were able to just use a simple keypad mod to "reopen"
the cellular bands, they recalled all PRO-51's and defeated the keypad mod
with some sort of hardware like the PRO-46's daughterboard.  The folks at
RS told me you can tell, and I believe this is true with models date coded
even before '95, buy looking at the box.  If there's a little round orange
dot stuck on the box, no more cellular.

I've asked around and have heard from most people here that there is no
known mod for the PRO-51 to reopen the cellular band. :(  BUT, I received a
message today from someone that confirmed what I was told by RS, and thinks
that if the same daughterboard defeat was used as the PRO-46, the simple,
well-known mod for the PRO-46 should work for the PRO-51. 
(see: http://rever.nmsu.edu/~weasel/scanner/mods/pro46cell3.mod)
FYI, it's a matter of reaching the daughterboard, and snipping a wire!
Once accomplished, the keypad mod works again.
 
Now, this sounds promising, BUT I wouldn't want to be the first kid on the
block to try it and end up ruining my new toy (and voiding my warranty!)!

Does anyone know if the daughterboard mod will work on the PRO-51, or would
be willing to try it out?  I'll admit, I'm not so great with the ol'
soldering gun!

BTW, I've been using the PRO-51 for a week now, and I would recommend
it highly.  One thing I would suggest though, is dumping the rubber antenna
it comes with and picking up a good antenna.  I bought an all-purpose
telescoping ant. from RS (about $20 - can't remember the model#) that picks
up different bands depending on how it's been extended.  It really opened
up a lot of freq.'s for me.

Can anybody shed some light on the uses for CCITT R1 signals.

Also, are the pairings for the number matrix the same for DTMF, except
that different row and column frequencies are used?

I bought mine this last weekend at a local 'rat 'shack...$12.95 it now 
includes Beyond Police Call for your area. I also bought the Southern 
Calif. Detail edition when I was in L.A. a few weeks ago, Gene was at a 
Ham store in Downey autographing them...He ships Police Call to the 
Distributors in early December. 
I know of many Radio Shacks here in Michigan that have them..

Please remember most Radio Shack employees have no idea what electronics 
are let alone what Police Call is. Most stores here in Michigan have told 
me in past years they expect them in April when the supplier gets them. 
Of course thats a lie, since Gene tells me he ships them in Dec. and 
other Michigan Radio Shack stores have them. If Radio Shack can't get 
them go to a local Ham Shop, they usually know which end is up..

I was told by my local RS (Washington, which is in the same volume as CA),
that they will be available just before, or just after Christmas.

Thats because the new ones incorporate the second volume of police call
into a single book. Hence its bigger, hence its more expensive.

Orange?  The 1996 Police Call Plus is blue both from Grove and
at my local Radio Shack (which just got them, first week of December).

Not aware of an orange 1996 book, unless it is perhaps 1996 Police Call
without the "Plus" part.  Several years ago there was an orange edition.

I have the lt. blue BPC, got it a year ago.  It's the thick book, covers all o
f 
US. Have not seen the orange one.  Must be different from 96 Police Call Plus.
The 96 Police Call Plus is dark blue, and is a combination of 
Police Call and Beyond Police call, per state combination.

Maybe the market distribution is different in SE US.  

So in total, I think for 1996 we have three books:

Light blue "Beyond Police Call"
Orange "1996 Police Call"
Dark blue "1996 Police Call Plus"

Is this the Police Call reference that was reputed on this
group to be no longer published or no longer distributed by
Radio Shack?

Police Call never was published by Radio Shack. I think you'll see 
Hollings Radio Data on all the books. Gene Hughes is the one who writes 
Police Call, they were and still are marketed through Radio Shack as well 
as most Ham stores and the like.

It's now called Police Call Plus, and contains the normal Police Call 
stuff as well as what used to be in Beyond Police Call for your area.

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.   
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz (continuous without blockage) and receives in
WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a
10 band search function, pass memory function, and other goodies found in
high-end scanners.   
 
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:

Of course, you can change factory settings, but best of all the coverage is
continuous with no blockages.  It also has a battery save function.

     I am new to scanning and I would like to know what kind of a
handheld scanner can I get for  aroud $150-$200. The only place in
town where there is a good selection of scanners is Radio Shack. Could
you maybe recommend a good scanner to buy at Radio Shack? 
  Also I would like to know if it is good to get a scanner with 800
mhz coverage and what there is to listen to in 800 mhz.
Please Email me with any suggestions, recomendations or coments.
Thanks.

 I read just recently in a radio, scanner type magazine, an article in
which someone stated he could decipher and listen to cordless 900mhz
using digital transmission fairly easy. However this didn't go for
listening in on spread sprectrum cordless phones. Has anyone else heard
about being able to do this and listening in on digital cordless
telephones in the 900mhz range?

Maybe I'm missing something, here...
Why not spring the $ and get one of the Frequency CDs, and do it yourself? 
At the very least, find PerCon's WEB site, and run a search there. It's 
been done.

Hi,
 Does anyone know anything about the AOR 1000 scanner?  I'm considering 
the purchase of one, and wanted to know if it was worth owning.  I pretty 
much just want a reliable hand held that gets decent coverage.

Thanks,

I have an AOR-1000, I like it's wide range. The one I have is able to 
listen to almost anything except microwave transmissions. YOu can get 
shortwave but get best results if you use a long antenna or a long wire
attatched to the radio.  JOHN

AOR 1000 I am told is a great piece of tst equipment for RF people.
The AOR 1000 before april 94 have full frequency coverage from 1 -
1000 MHz no dead spots.  After april 94 the cell frequecnies were
blocked.  hope this helps

I'm sure that you can find an unblocked, refurbished model without much
difficulty from one of the mail order companies such as EDCO or a used one
for a decent price.

It's a very good scanner--as a former owner, my only complaint was that it
was useless for SW, which you would expect, and two it was a real chore to
program.

I have used an AR1000 for the past 5 years and found it to be very good.  It h
as a 
great frequency range (8 to 1300 Mhz) and can receive AM FM and FM Wide.  This
 model 
is no longer manufactured.  The newer models have a wider frequency range and 
more 
features (and probably cost less than mine did originally!).

My only complaint is that the keypad has worn out and has to be replaced. The 
shop 
estimates about $35 to fix. Not bad after all this time.  

Hope this helps.

The scanner has probably been sold by now but, I would like to warn
anybody considering buying one that in spite of the large number of
features it has a very poor receiver. I have had emails from a number
of people who tell me they sold theirs soon after they bought it
because of the receiver.

Oh no! More scanner police... That's funny, I thought the scanner was 
just fine... Much more sensitive than my realistic handheld scanner.... 
The only problem with it was that it seemed to go crazy near a 
computer, and I just got bored with it.

This happens to most well used HTs, scanners, etc. [Standard HTs have an
extra screw in their BNC mount to avoid this problem.] I fixed my AR8K
for the same problem too long ago to give you specific hints, but here
goes.

The screws in the battery compartment are the first step. You need to
remove the screws in the 'rubber' side strips. Only remove the two
screws on the same "half" of the scanner where the battery compartment
is. You can remove all 4 screws where the rubber strips are, but this
tends to be more work.  You may have to remove an internal PC board to
get to the BNC. [I've played with the radio quite a bit and can't
remember how much was needed to do a specific task.] Once you get to the
BNC, I would advise loosening it a bit more, then applying LOCKTITE
before tightening the nut again. I have done this on my HT and scanner
and wish they would leave the factory with LOCKTITE!

When opening up the AR8K, be careful with the battery clips. They can
fall out of the case. The clips connect to a socket inside the radio and
are loose when the radio is apart.

Just thought I would post this message to let AZ listeners know about a 
scanner group called Incident Command Page.

http://www.disaster.net/icp

They send High Speed Chases, Working Fires, Shootings, over an 
alphanumeric pager.

My brother got one for the holidays and loves it.  Not only do they 
send who what where and how, but they send the FREQUENCY OR FREQUENCIES 
that the incident is working on.

It also works as a personal pager and he pays a $13.00 a month fee to 
rent the pager.

I think the group has a one year subscription fee of $72.00

All of the info is described in their home page...

Happy Holidays,

Hi everyone,
I¹m looking for confirmed frequencies for Atlanta PD since they have moved
to 800 Mhz. Also, are there any non 800 frequencies APD is using. Thanks
in advance...

Though there is some truth in the above post I have APD on other
frequencies. Just plug all the ones found in the new RS Police Call
1996 and you will spot what  is going on.

Anyone interested in helping me set up a series of pages on monitoring
the Olympic's and the sounding areas? There have been major changes in
the metro area in the last year or so an many frequency guides are out
of date.

I need to search my hard disks for the old scan atlanta data as that
would be a good place to start and then update it.

I don't know if this is how they get the signal up to the balloon, but
If I were doing it I'd send the signal up to the balloon via radio,
and re-transmit the signal on a "regular" TV channel.  Not unlike what
is done at some commercial TV stations with a microwave link between
the studio and the transmitter site.

As far as a "home-brew Marti" (or martini hi-hi), you could do the
same thing, and set up a cross-band repeater on the balloon.  EOSS and
other amateur radio balloon groups do that when they send up their
experimental balloons, and pepole from hundreds of miles away are able
to use it to communicate.  

Yes, you're right, you would't want to do it near an airport.  Might
get a rather nasty QSL card from the FAA!

Why would they do that? There is no need to go that high for line of sight
transmissions. Two or three hundred feet would be sufficient, expecially
if they were on top of a hill - to start with.

The only reason to use a balloon would be if they needed to move their
station frequently.

The government has 2 balloons, which are tethered. We saw one up while
in Key West, which is about 30 miles south of the key with the balloons.
They look like small blimps. As we drove up there to see it, they were
bringing it back down. We talked to a local who told us they were
originally drug radar blimps. They converted one to transmit TV to Cuba.
It seems that the locals see it all as a huge waste of money.

I don't think it get up anywhere near 10,000 fet. Maybe 1,000 feet.

In regard to the original question, some hams did this with a kite or
ballon. The wind crossing the wire caused static electricity to build up
which damned near electocuted the guys.... (This is also why car
antennas have the little ball on the top. It prevents voltage buidup in
the antenna from the air rushing across the antenna.)

Lightning rods have pointed tips which allow built up charges to
dissipate.They do NOT attract lightning.

Can anyone out there with the schematic for a 760 please tell me what the
proper voltage is for the miniature bulb which backlights the LCD display?

My meter shows it being fed at 8.19v, so I'm guessing 9 may be the right numbe
r,
with them underdriving it a bit to prolong life.

RatShack only had 6v and 12v bulbs of this size, so I substituted a 12,
which does an OK job, but is of course not very bright being driven at
this voltage.

I own one of these and am quite happy with it.  This model only has 50
channels, but is a good scanner.  It is very easy to operate and has
nice sensitivity.

I am new to scanning and I would like to know what kind of handheld
scanner can I get for around $150-$200. The only place in town that
has a good selection of scanners is Radio Shack. Could you maybe
recomend a good scanner that they sell?
    Also I would like to know is it good to get 800 mhz coverage and
what can you actualy hear in 800 mhz. Please E-mail me your
suggestions, recomendations, or comments to JLEON@CLANDJOP.COM

Dan,

Most likely those freqs are no longer being used.  Ex:  In Portland,
OR.  the Police turned off the 460 bank of freqs this summer and is
now using the 800Mhz Trunking system exclusively.  (FYI: There was a
big wind storm on 12/21 and the system crashed for 5 hours.  Motorola
has yet to answer why it crashed.  So much for the "Public Safety
Net")

Without knowing the content of the freqs you were listening to it is
hard to tell why they may be dead at this time.  If you could
elaborate as to the content either myself or someone else on this NG
may be able to answer your question.

Where are your priorities?  So, you are going to boycott police simply because
 
they encrypt their comms.  Oh, well, why don't we just boycott ALL of the 
advertisers on the normal satellite channels that scramble their broadcasts...
Hey, how about boycotting the countries that don't speak your language...
I think you are a tad bit TOO addicted to scanning to suggest a boycott of the
 
police.  There's more to life than just listening to a bunch of "Alfa Nine

God Keith, get a life!  I don't think you understand what your plan would do.
Say it did happen.  Do you think that they are going to stop encrypting
signals?  No way.  This is called progress.  I remember when people where all
upset over the MDT's years ago.  Soon they wont be using voice at all, it 
will all be done using upgrades of MDT's.  Going to cry then?  In fact if your
plan was ever to go in effect, they would have to rely on MDT's and the
digital system to compensate for the loss of volunteers.  Thats just a small
part of it.  When your plan goes into effect, then cities would have to hire
more officers.  This means a TAX HIKE!  All this because someone could not
monitor a police or fire department.  Fehh...

I for one am glad that a digital system is in effect in many cities in the
U.S.  It all has to do with privacy.  I hear names, address, and VIN's going
over the air all the time.  I don't think that a single female wants some
scanner creep looking her up.  People that have "wants and warrents" out on
them also gain from this privacy.  It is non of our business if a person has
a "want" out on them.

Try reading some of the stalking laws on the books these days.  Scanners are
talked about.  Why?  They can be used to monitor security for someone that is
being stalked.  A scanner is a dangerous toy.  Over the years this has been
proven time and time again.  It is up to the users to not abuse this privlage
of scanner monitoring.  Everytime it gets abused a new law goes into effect.
Think about it.

What does arresting someone have to do with this? 
Other groups boycott support to city functions and 
no one gets bent out of shape, but I am supposed to lie down and let
the cities do what ever they please without my input. After all it is
our tax dollars paying for this system and I elect the local
government.

Hmmmm, didn't Hitler ban the listening of radios because he didn't want
the people to listen in too.  I work in the public safety field and see
things on the MDT's all the time that if the public was ever able to read
some of those messages the officers who sent them would have been either
suspended or fired!  When there are no checks and balances more often than
not things get abused.  Why do these officers use the MDT's rather than
the two-way radio you might ask.  They believe the public can't monitor or
view their transmissions.  If the public could monitor the MDT's you can
bet on it that the officers would watch what they type over them.  Also
cars kill more people than scanners...Maybe we should ban them too since
the government thinks they can protect us from ourselves!

That's counterproductive, and as others have said, bucks progress.

Instead, you should push for assurance of non-real time access to recorded
traffic by recognized news agencies and for laws preventing destruction of
these tapes.  If strong enough, these laws should help contain abuse to hopefu
lly
acceptable levels.

ERM.. Sorry Keith, I'm having a problem understanding you. Maybe it;s cos I'm 
 
English or something! Here is the problem as I see it...

Imagine the situation... Theives break in to a dept on an industrial estate at
 about 
02:00. They are equiped with (amongst other things) crow-bar, electric drill, 
scanner 
they picked up from Tandy (Radio Shack) for 100. They smash a couple of doors,
 and 
try to drill the door to the safe. Unfortunately for them, one of them wanders
 into 
the next room, which happens to be the first door with an alarm. Of course, th
e bells 
don't start ringing straight away, instead a central control room is informed 
and a 
message is relayed to the local police station. The local police call up on th
e radio 
for a unit to attend this address because the alarm has gone off. 

Now, up until this point, the theives are unaware that they have set the alarm
 off. 
As soon as they hear the radio they get their stuff together, jump in the van 
and 
drive off and manage to escape about a minute before the first police unit arr
ives.

Think about what would of happened if the radio's were encrypted.. They would 
not of 
had any warning that the ploice were comming and there is a fair chance that t
he 
would have been caught in the act.

With this in mind, what possible argument can you put up to suggest the police
 should 
NOT use encrypted radios?

I notice that you DO allow their use for anti-terrorist or anti-drugs operatio
ns. If 
these criminals use scanners, what makes you think that other criminals don't?

IMHO if there is a technology avaliable to the police which helps in the fight
 
against crime, then they should damn well use it. So what if it means that the
 
ordinary Joe Bloggs or John Doe can't listen in on what's happening?

If I remember correctly, the same logic was used in Germany about 1933.  Not 
that our government and police forces aren't the benevolent organizations we 
all know them to be.

Me too!
I own a PRO-51. I work for Radio Shack (no comments please it sucks as
bad as you've heard). I like my Pro-51 but have not heard of a cell mod
that works. The older PRO-51's (mid '95 and older) There is a keypad
code for opening the cell bands but it doesn't work on the new models
like mine :-(  The code is to hold down band, 2, and 9, while turning
on the scanner then the LCD screen will scroll all the lights. Wait
until it scrolls once and then press L/O, 2,and 9. If your not sure
wich scanner you have look on the bottom of the box. If there is an
orange dot on the box, you have a corrected model and cannot use the
keypad code. I have not yet heard of a mod for the corrected model yet.
SUCKS but that's the SHACK.
Later
Anyone with a mod for the new model PLEEASE!! post or E-mail me!!!!

=================
I think there may be some confusion, here.
5 to 30 MHz is not scanner territory, it's HF, or shortwave.
There are scanners that include this region in their receiving range, but 
without a decent SW antenna, they are extremely limited as to what they 
can receive. Such a scanner is a compromise, and is nowhere as good as a 
seperate SW radio, even an el-cheapo model.
A shortwave radio is really a specialty all its own. You might try on

The JRC NRD535 and Drake R8A are both excellent.

Include software in your decision, you can check out a demo copy of Scan*Star 
from www.scanstar.com. The other guys have demos too.

Yes the AR8K is as light as most modern cellular phones.

If AR8K and your ears are mutually exclusive items it is a simple
matter to add an external amplified speaker with tone control.
I have a whole raft of them for various ham radios and the AR8K.

The amplified speaker from Radio Shack has an interesting feature of
an LED that lights when audio comes in and gradually dies when the
audio is cut of. Sort of like a busy indicator which is handy if you
are listening to several radios while mobile and you aren't sure which
one that last bit of information came on.

I was at Dave and Busters restaurant in Philadelphia last night. They use 
HT's to move the customers around. I didn't have a radio but the Scout 
had hits on 464.2375. 

D&B is also in Houston, Dallas, Atlanta and Chicago [in the States]. 
Curious is they use the same frequency in all restaurants or what?  
Anyone in those cities have any idea?

Hi John:

Durham County (NC) is on a digital radio system, and the press
is able to purchase a radio that CAN follow the talkgroups from
the Emergency Services.  HOWEVER, Emergency Services can restrict
the talkgroups they will allow the press to listen to.  And I
understand they are EXPENSIVE!

Hi Dave:

Saw your post about the Digital Trunk system and the newsmedia where you 
live.  Here in Honolulu, Hawaii, the news media will ALSO be allowed to 
purchase a radio that has LIMITED talkgoups in a monitor only capacity.  
The word I got was the price tag :  $3000.00.  This is due to the fact 
that they need a Ericcson EDACS Control Station Radio with AEGIS 
Digitial Mode Option.

When I scan the local police channels, my scanner will stop on a channel
that is broadcasting continuous noise.  I will then have to lock out that
channel in order to continue scanning.  

The next time that I scan the police band, it will be a different channel
that I have to lock out for the same reason.  Are the police attempting to
prevent the public from scanning their frequencies?

You are tuning the data channel on a system of trunked channels.
The data channel changes every day.
While annoying, this really isn't an intentional effort to jam scanners;
that's the way the system works.

Why does the control channel "need" to change, ever, much less every
day? I've wondered that more than once. Anyone out here have an
answer?

One question: Are you scanning the 800 MHz frequencies of a trunked system?  
If so, the continous "noise" you hear is the "handshake" channel.  Most 
systems alternate that channel to one of several and it changes from time to 
time.

It depends on what kind of 'noise' you are talking about.  If it sounds
kinda like a loud diesel engine, then it's simply the trunking system data
control channel, and probably (but not absolutely) is your best bet if
they are in the 800MHz range.  It carries coded information that is picked up 
by all the radios in the radio system and is the "brains" that coordinates
all radios and the frequencies they use.  This data channel does change
from time to time (day to day) to distribute the wear and tear on the 
repeater.   

The other type of noise would be true digitally encrypted transmissions, 
which would sound more like modem noise (an annoying, roaring sound).  In 
this particular case, yes, the police are encrypting their transmissions
so you cannot hear.  These digitally encrypted transmissions are currently
just about impossible to unscramble with the technology available to 
the average scannist.

Hope it helps, and don't give up.  Your method of locking out the
control channel is a common technique for trying to track trunked
radio transmissions.  It's sometimes a manual task, and it helps
to turn off your scanner delay since a conversation can bounce over
several different frequencies, adding to the "challenge".  You don't
want your scanner sitting on a 2 sec. delay while the chatter 
continues on another trunk frequency.

Mike

As most FDNY radio listeners know, the HT's with the exception of F-1, 
are the TX side of the Boro Frequencies.  So when this list says F-4 is 
"Manhattan Mobile" that really means it is the TX freq for Manhattan 
Radio which recieves on 154.250.

I found on someone's homepage a list that has an F-7 (153.890) for the 
HT's. That frequency shows to be the TX side of CITYWIDE, which Recieves 
on 154.430.

Does anyone know if they use this or have it loaded into the HT Sabers?  

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

Yes, you are correct.  I had my PRO-2004 with me wherever I drove in Florida. 
I just didn't have it "screwed" under my console (it sat in the passenger 
seat).  Anyway, I was stopped for speeding by a Highway Patrol, quickly hit 
the "bank" that had all the FHP freqs programmed in, and listened to the 
channel that this particular officer was on.  I happen to have an Arizona 
license which I've had since 1978 (I'm in the military and the license doesn't
 
expire until 90 days after I retire).  Anyway, back then (1978) license 
numbers were short (1 letter & 4 numbers - example "A1234").  Today's Arizona 
licenses go by social security number.  So, when the officer called in my 
license number, it came back invalid.  When he approached me about the license
 
being invalid, I explained to him that I was in the military and the license 
is good until I get out.  I also informed him to try using my social security 
number off my military ID card since I understood current licenses to use 
socials.  He went back to his vehicle and called it in again, but failed to go
 
by my social security number (he simply repeated my 5-character license).  
When he again approached me about it being invalid, I said that I heard him on
 
the scanner and noted he did not give them my social.  This time he did, and 
it came back valid.  He asked why I had him programmed in my scanner to which 
I replied, "Just curiosity" and that was all that was spoken about it.  In 
fact, he even commented that he had the same scanner at home, and it being an 
interesting hobby.  I got off with just a warning for my speeding (which 
surprised me) but nothing more was said in regards to my scanner.

Studio-to-transmitter links are commonly in the 944-952 MHz range.
(BTW, courtesy of the ECPA, it is a heinous federal crime to listen to

It is illegal to posses a scanner in Germany. So don't take it or it
will be taken from you.

I don't think this is true any more - last I heard was that they are at least
freely available in Germany, although I have to admit that I am not entirely
up-to-date on the situation. Comments anybody??

The wife purchased my first scanner for my Christmas present (realistic 
Pro50).  When she asked the 'all to intellegent' counter person for the 
frequencies book he replied "It's in the box".  Naturally the owners 
manual does not have exact frequencies.

I've read all the FAQ's and FAF's I can find on the net in the last hour 
(THANKS for all that GREAT information) and I'll stop by 'the shack' as 
soon as it opens to buy a freq guide.

But until that time (an unlivable 20 or so hours from now!) I'd really 
appreciate if someone could e-mail me the freq for some stuff in Franklin 
County Missouri.  (County Sheriff, Union and St. Clair police, fire and 
ambulance, etc.) 

Thanks...  (Note that the wife has picked up the scanner as I was logging 
on and she's already found the neighbors cordless phone!  Maybe it won't 
be MY scanner afterall!)

Get real, Yes this is a good radio but it is USED. There should
be at least a 20% reduction on the cutrrent new price. They are 
available NEW, with a leather case, unblocked, Scout socket
and shipping (2 Day) for $620.00. By all account, that beats your deal.

Folks are asking way too much for used equipment.

And who made you God of the Internet?  BTW, you're wasting more bandwidth 
by spamming your "don't post" mesage across several threads than the 
original poster ever could have by posting his "for sale" message.

Oh yeah...one other thing...QUIT SHOUTING AT US.  TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK

Greetings again.. I'm interested, but as far as I have seen, $900 is
WAY too much. I've seen the radio (1 radio, 1 battery) go about $450.
Extra battery $50, rapid charger $70, Mike $70. PLUS, could you
program it? I'd like to help ya out here, looks like you're not
selling.. Anyway, good luck.

My Radio Shack Pro-51 does the same thing.  I think the problem is in
the power supply.  The unit seems to loose power for a fration of a
second.  The power comes back on and the unit starts scanning again.
It is still under warrenty and I have to take it back to RS, but I am
having too much fun with it.

That verticle element and coil is for the VHF-Lo band, 30 - 50 Mhz.  A 4 ft CB
 
whip should do.  The threads on the RS Discone are not a standard 3/8-24 so yo
u
will have to find something to match.

I was browsing through the radio books yesterday at Barnes & Noble and i 
came across a very interesting book on scanners.  I forget the name of 
the book, but it contained a section on legislation regarding scanning...
both federal and at the state level.  It noted that Kentucky recently 
enacted the nation's most sweeping anti-scanner law.  According to this 
book, mere POSSESSION of a scanner is illegal in Kentucky...even if the 
scanner is being stored for transport in the trunk of a vehicle.  It also 
stated that amateur radio operators are NOT exempt from the law.

It seems there would be several constitutional challenges to this law, 
not the least of which would be the illegality of possessing a scanner, 
inoperable, in the trunk of one's car while traveling through Kentucky.  
Would this not be a clear violation of interstate commerce provisions of 
the U.S. Constitution?

No, the Interceptor LZR uses a real laser, not IR LED's. Not sure how 
they steer it (or if they steer it at all), but, it uses an actual laser 
(pretty sure they use the same one in all laser guns ). The LED's have 
had some success. The K-40 "Diffuser" has decent success rates below 
~800FT, not 100% though and beyond 800 FT. your toast. If someone would 
use Xenon Strobes instead of LED's I'm sure it would succeed. Of course 
I'd use more than 1 strobe and strobe them independantly to increase the 
percentage of error strobes. All it takes is one erroneous pulse to screw 
up the hit count. Ahhh, the challenge of ECM!

......at extreme ranges.  There isn't any vehicle out there, covered in
stucco-like material and painted whatever color,  that can't be
velocity-checked by a Kustoms Signal ProLaser II or even a cheap LTI
Marksman at ranges less than 1500 feet.  It would almost certainly affect
the efficiency of the laser at longer ranges, but under 1500 feet, you're
toast.  Hmmm, haven't tried it on a F-117 yet, but F-16's are easy as long
as the cosine isn't too bad.....  BTW, target color DEFINITELY has an
effect on target acquistion/range.  Lasers love red, followed by yellow
and other such colors.  Dirty gray is the hardest to hit, with dirty black
being difficult also.  Reflectivity is the key, so vehicle shape has a
little to do with it (not too much, but some, and again only at longer
ranges).

Car and Driver did a test of Laser speed guns a couple of years ago.  
They found the best strategy to handle a laser speed gun is to confuse 
it so your laser detector can give you enoough warning time to slow 
down.

Without any sort of jamming or confusing, the avewrage laser detector 
goes off at the same time the gun locks on you.  Not too useful.  So the 
challenge is to degrade the gun so your detector can find it before it 
finds you.

They found that the IR put out by your high beams does have an effect on 
the gun.  But driving with your beams on is not practical.  They next 
tried a rally lite with an IR red glass filter.  Bingo!  The IR put out 
by the lite overwhelmed the laser and sufficiently degraded its 
performance to allow for a quick slowdown.

Problems - Light is very directional.  If you have your IR lite pointing 
forward and the laser is on the side, you're history.  I don't think a 
directional laser could be used to blind a laser speed gun.  The system 
required to steer the laser would be too complex.

I wonder how a series of small 20 watt halogen lights with IR would do.

That's funny!

Actually there are lidar jammers that work.  The one I saw will not see
the light of day outside of the lab due to the cost being way too high for
most consumers.

        Where can we get the IR filters besides the military surplus store?
And are there any that will allow specific output of 90 ns, because any old 
filter will allow passage any all frequencies right?

The high beam trick isn't too useful. I read the article but I don't 
think it's a really good way to jam. Of course, you may get lucky. My 
idea was to use 2 or more Xenon Strobes and put IR filters over them. A 
strobe put's out loads of light and could probably trip the circuit in 
the laser gun. IR LED's have been proven to work under 800 feet but after 
800 feet they're just not powerful enough. If you do use LED's make sure 
you have a few near the license plate and a few near the headlights. If 
an officer shoots your plate and gets no reading, they'll probably move 
to another high reflectivity area like your head lights. In conjunction 
with a Laserplate you could probably reduce you reflectivity enough to 
give the LED's a better chance. I'd like to try the strobe light trick 
but I don't have a laser gun and have no idea where to get one. I also 
don't have the cash to purchase some IR filters. I'm confident it'd work 
though. 

Side note: Apparently some guns (LTI Marksman) supposedly have a light or 
beeper that trips when the presence of interference is detected. Big deal 
though, jamming IR is legal.

HELP!  I am looking for a tracking transmitter circuit that I saw in an 
electronics magazine (don't remember which one) about 1 or 2 years ago. 
The circuit used two 555 IC chips so it could be very small and light, 
and I think the article pictured the transmitter mounted on a turtle. If any 
one remembers seeing this article please email me or post a reply.

Thanks

Hi gang!

North-South skip is being heard as I type this (10:30 am EST)
on about 42.5 MHz.  Stations heard have a New York accent.  
No id's heard, and traffic sounded somewhat transit related.

I live out here on Nantucket Island, Ma  30 miles out to sea

and have heard several police transmissions from what appears to 

be the South. Due to their accents  ...........

The reason I listen to 42.50 Mhz is because our State Police is on it.

I need some Bearcat scanner info.  I recently purchased a "350A",
50-channel, 11-band mobile unit (for $99) and I am not completely
satisified with it. Can anyone advise me on my options with regard to
later/newer Bearcat mobile models?  I can live without "800" capabilities,
but I would like a "priority" feature, as well better backlighting for the
display.  Direct numeric entry would be nice, as well.  Do later models
offer any such features?  I've seen an expensive model at Best Buys, with
a built-in "highway patrol alert" feature.  I can live without that.  The
scanner will be used, primarily, to monitor a pair of fire channels. 

Any information, advice, etc. is appreciated.  Please e-mail.  Thanks.

It sounds like some Highway Traffic Act statute that only exists in his 
province.  The frequency range is particularly interesting since most 
police comms are found in the 142 MHz range (except for the new trunked 
systems rapidly coming on line.)

This statement is your opinion I think.

What wasn't mentioned here is that this is an excerpt from the Manitoba 
Highway Traffic Act (H.T.A.) and therefore applies in Manitoba only. 
There are those in this province who think that this law is outdated 
(note the use of the word Megacycles). 

As for enforcement and fines, I don't know. One person (a ham BTW) had 
his scanner confiscated by the RCMP in Manitoba. When the case was 
challenged in the court, the charges were stayed. However it took a 
number of months for the scanner to be returned. 

This law is certainly valid for those apprehended for criminal activity, 
but I don't think it should be used on just anyone.

They're legal in B.C., and Alberta.  B.C. has been legal as long as I
can remember, and Alberta re-legalized them within the past 5 years,
although many drivers that use them get false readings when they use
Highway 2 between Edmonton and Red Deer due to all the microwave
towers.  Scanners are completely legal in all areas of Canada except
Manitoba (I believe mobile scanning is illegal there).  That includes
the cellular band.  It's legal to listen to that band, but you can't
record it or tell anyone what you've heard (just like everything else
you hear on a scanner).  Most if not all scanners sold in Canada are
not able to pick up the cellular band as they come from the U.S.

That's just for you poor folks in Manitoba.  The rest of Canada
respects the Radio Communications Act and do not tread on the federal
jurisdiction.  I wonder how this Manitoba law has gone so long without
a legal battle?

   Oh yeah.   I bet that's pretty high up there on the list of things to
do in the Liberal government.  Yeah, who cares if the country is ripping
apart, and that deficit thing - no problem.  Lets go get all those nasty
scanner enthusiasts, that'll solve our problems.

    I don't think we have to worry too much, they're too busy with things
that are a little more important than making scanners "illigal".

Now,come on, as a radio amateur, did you not read and recite any of thelaws 
reguarding reciprical(sp?) agreements between different countries? I am not 
sure about the legalities anymore, as it has been a few years since I took a 
talkie to Canada, but, the will NOT confiscate it. They may require you to 
leave it at the border, or have it shipped back home, but they don't usually 
just keep things...

As for the thread, radar detectors are illegal in most of the places I have 
traveled in Canada... I was even stopped once on Prince Edward Island and 
asked if my cell phone was a radar detector... Whew, it was in the glove box!

Scanners are not illegal, and , I doubt if they will ever be totally banned. 
I doubt they will even have most of the shitty restrictions we suffer from in 
the states....

Bill, You could try Radio Shacks Hi-Capacity 850 Mah Ni-Cds.

They are Cat # 23-149 @ 6.99 for a pack of two.

I use them in my scanner with good results.

I have thrown away all my nicads.  I have replaced them with Renewal.

They last well over twice as long as nicads and I have recharged one
set of 4 well over 75 times.

Just my evaluation.  Your mileage may vary.

Indeed it has.

I have had a recurring problems with Renewals purchased over a 2 year
period (including some sent to me as replacements by Rayovac) and 3
different chargers used at home and in the office. The cells develop 
internal shorts (like nicads) and die prematurely by leakage, or 
failure to reach or hold full charge.

The telltale sign is that they get HOT when charging, and the LED on the
small charger never goes out (or takes a very long time) as the cell does
not reach target voltage easily.

Rayovac at first told me this was a problem confined to the very first
batches of AAA cells, where I first reported it to them. However it
continues; I at present have several sets of AA, AAA, and D cells in use,
in which one or more exhibits this phenomenon to some degree. Once a
dendrite starts growing inside a cell, it gets worse worse until the cell
is unuseable, or I take it out of service ... or it explodes in the
charger.

If one cell in a set (as originally packaged) goes bad, eventually all
four will. Quite a few sets I've used are "clean" and none of the cells
ever goes bad; it dies a natural death (shorter and shorter discharge
cycles).

I am much less enthusiastic about Renewals than I once was. Rayovac's only
answer has been to replace the cells (I've stopped bothering to call them
- I'd be doing it every couple of months) and advise me to discharge them
less deeply (using a beeper battery one week on a charge is too deep??????).
They've offered to relace my charger; but when I tell them that three
different chargers (two PS1's and one PS2) all do the same thing - they
back down since they realize it's not the chargers' fault.

I've mailed dozens of defective cells to their "inspection" division,
where returns go to. Not a peep.

Scan*Star Plus for Windows will also do CTCSS/DCS scanning. And will run the 
456 at 50 CPS from Windows.

Demo avalable via www.scanstar.com

I use Scanstar Commercial & Scanstar Pro. It has all the provisions for 
ctcss and dcs scanning. One feature I find useful is the ability to 
specify a pl tone when doing a search and store. For example certain 
federal agencies use one pl on a nationwide basis. All you have to do is 
enter that tone in your search and store parameters and over a period of 
time you will find all that agencies active freqs.

I can't see how it would be illegal. People post scanner mods here. What

It's 11 A.M. and the OSP tax patrol is out handing out early presents in 
the form of tickets. I hope they get coal for Christmas.
Tune to  CH21-155.910
I-5 near Salem

Looks like they'll be harvesting the highways for more revenue during the 
holidays. I hope it stays cloudy with a low ceiling.

Well, some jammers have detectors also which would technically make them

I just bought a PRO-28 which has 30 channels and doesn't have the 800MHz
band. I have the receipt and 30 days to return the unit. I'm leaning
toward do just that, but I don't know how important the 800 MHz band is,
how hard listening to trunked systems is, and what would be a good
portable w/ the 800 MHz band for < $200. Any suggestions?

Stephen

I have been using a PRO-2021 for the last 5 years or so, and most of the
local frequencies I listen to are not in the 800 MHz band

For all of those who are interested, theres a front page article in the 
Wed Oregonian about how Portlands 800MHz system sucked wind during the last 
wind storm we had. Funny thing is they fail to mention how it sucks 
without storms. $8.5 Million for a system that works *most* of the 
time....Except in emergencies when they need it. Well, at least most cars 
have cell phones> I wonder what Portlands P.D.'s cell phone bill is?

Brian:

While "800 MHz" is frequently mentioned as the scourge of public safety 
radio, it saddens me when folks don't make mention of the vendor or the 
presence (or absence) of trunking technology. Not all "800 MHz" radio 
systems are designed, created (or maintained!) equally. 

Yes, Portland's new radio system has taken a beating in the media, and 
more importantly - in the eyes of the public. There are however, many 
agencies in our country that have thusfar had a -very- positive 
experience with the 800 MHz band. It troubles many of us to no end that 
we are often labeled as being "wasteful" or  "fools" , solely upon our 
choice of spectrum. 

Just some food for thought.

Happy Holidays!

The Vendor:  Motorola 

The Problem:  

System Software bugs cause system to become "one way" (base 
broadcasts are heard, mobile responses are not) when traffic exceeds some 
level (when you need the system the most, it goes into this mode apparently).
 
System Type:  800Mhz Trunking 
 
This information is second & third hand from local news sources, and I don't 
pretend to have any insight.  However, I had heard that this is only one of 
three (?)  such systems in the country.  I guess they should have expected to 
do a bit of "beta testing"!

Okay, it's MOTOROLA and it's trunked. Funny thing is they try to foil 
scannists by transmitting NOAA WX broadcasts on channels (up to 3 at a time).
But the system is occasionally overloaded so why bother, what are they 
trying to hide? Instead of screwing with scanner, why not concentrate on 
*FIXING* it. Whoa, what a concept.

Well, the Portland system is supposed to save spectrum. So why are they 
soaking up channels with NOAA broadcasts? The public really hasn't 
complained until recently because no one (in the fire and police dept)
has really griped. But, after 
the storm, many wonder what we paid $8.5 Million for. The strong point of 
Motorolas system is it's performance under pressure. Well, Motorola has 
oversold a system that doesn't work. The storm was *not* that bad. About 
3-5 hours of high winds. It was not the worst strom to ever hit by a long 
shot. We bought the system so it would perform in a crisis. Any system 
performs good on a sunny day. A lot of other agencies have complained 
about trunked 800MHz systems, San Fran is even sueing Motorola. Motorola 
is calling the problem the other day a "Nuisance". A nuisance? No comms 
for 5 hours is a nuisance? As one officer put it, "When I'm involved in a 
shooting, I don't have time to go to my MDT and type in 'HELP! HELP!'".
Motorola has still never explained why the system has gone down 
completely numerous other times. This from a complany that said "it can 
never fail!"

Glad yours works. Isn't LAPD still on the ASTRO 400MHz?

Please don't think that things are rosey here -all- the time, but we are -

Who knows what the future (spelled P-S-W-A-C) may bring? 

> Isn't LAPD still on the ASTRO 400MHz?

Yes, most of LAPD's operations take place in the UHF & UHF-T bands (470-
512 MHz). Several of their officers now carry Motorola's ASTRO portable.

I can't go into detail about their system (Police Chief Williams wouldn't 
like that), but you can contact the LAPD directly c/o their

It should be noted, although the folks at "Bat Wings" screwed up bigtime
with the trunking software, there a lot of Johnson LTR and G.E. EDAS
systems that DO work. 

My REAL point, to ALL you scanner folks, don't feel that importent, the
reason Is NOT to screw up scanners, as I said , your
really not that importent.......

Just a little more "food for thought"

I can see how that would work for the 16 mem. block version.
it uses 4 switches to turn on and off which block you want.
but this will be with 64 blocks and required 6 switches.
the CE-232 only allows up to 4 switch output.

I can see how I can use one or two switches to move to the next block
or previous block. But that won't allow me to go from block #5 to 
block #49.

OK, here is the scoop...

I just got my CE232 interface, and while the board looks easy enough, I have 
no tools or desire to cut the db25 connector hole in the back of the unit. I 
am sending it all to the linkall guys, and while it is there, I am getting 
the 25,600 memory unit installed..

For those of you that are looking for the schematic/instructions for the 
25600 mod, I would suggest getting in touch with Mark Persson, the guy that 
builds them.. He can be contacted via SASE at:

1369 Lombardy Blvd
Bay Shore, NY. 11706...

BTW: His number IS in the book, so, while I wont post it here, I have been 
lucky enough to talk to him directly on a couple of occasions... Linkall 
with the dual speed auto switching oscil. crystal and keypad/computer 
control is the only way to go...

NEWFLASH!!
 Grove has been selling 26's for months! It's $349.95 in their
Nov-Dec Catalog, or order from them at www.grove.net. You can 
buy a used one for probably under $300 by now.

Didn't I respond to you yesterday?  Maybe not.   
 

Point your web browser at:

http://www.tandy.com/rs
 
Tandy keeps a fairly good collection of specs and owner's manuals on-line.  
They may have yours there too.
 
The only "real" mod I am aware of is one to increase the scan speed.  Just 
search the web and you can find all sorts of sites with this info (I don't 
have this stuff handy or I'd give it to you).
 
Beware of the "cellular mod" for this scanner.  Since there is no receive 
front end for 800Mhz in this scanner, any "cell mod" just shows the numbers on
 
the display without regard to the fact that there is no supporting receiver 
inside the box!

I just picked up a PRO-28 scanner on sale for $89. It has 30 channels but
does not receive the 800 MHz band. I've been using a PRO-2021 for quite a
while (which doesn't have the 800 MHz band either) and was looking for an
inexpensive portable. I have the receipt (and 30 days!) to decide if I
want to keep the PRO-28.

How important is the 800 MHz band? Most of the local frequencies around
here aren't 800 MHz yet. Is it difficult to monitor the 800 MHz band,
especially when a trunked system is used?

What is a good portable scanner w/ the 800 MHz band for less than $200? Is
the PRO-28 modifiable at all?

If the earphone jack is still live, you have a dead speaker.

This is a common problem on earlier units, which had a speaker that
couldn't quite handle the power that the audio amp could furnish.

An upgraded replacement speaker is available through Radio Shaft Parts.

This could be caused by a number of things.   Including shoving in the 
wrong external speaker plug in and bending the contacts inside.  In 
short, you're gonna have to take it apart and have a look.  If you are 
not familiarwith electronics you may want to find someone local that is.

there is alot of sideband stuff broadcast by some tv stations, usually
a second audio, like spanish, but sometimes you might find a data feed
or music on the sidebands, some of the newer tvs have the capibilty to
recieve some of this stuff, look for SAP capibilty

Check the rules again. Better yet, call the FCC. They have forced Hams

Put up an antenna that is resonate at the operating frequency. It will

This is true for unintentional interference. 

Further, the policeman is free to arrest you for interfering in the
performance of his duties. Those are state and local statutes, and do
not specify the method of interference.

First, tell that to the FCC, who have confiscated equipment (and fined
the individuals as well) from CB operators who had linear amplifiers in
their possession.

It is also illegal to operate out of your assigned bands, or produce over
a certain level of spurious signals or harmonics. This is true even if you
are not interfering with any other equipment.

Keep in mind that Part 15 of 47 CFR, especially the portions you quoted,
are not all of the regulations that govern transmitter use.

========================
Speed limits have *not* been eliminated by the FEDs. I have no idea where 
you got this idea.
The Federally imposed maximum speed limit of 65 MPH has been eliminated. 
This is a far different thing.

The concept of "reckless driving" for driving in a reckless fashion is not 
new. I feel rather safe in saying that your co-worker got a reckless 
driving ticket for driving in what the officer thought to be a reckless 
fashion. This has nothing to do with the recent Federal action, but rather 
with your co-worker's driving.

Even in California, there are still speed limits.

I just wondered if there was something wrong with this model. I've
never seen any reference to it here, although other Radio Shack
scanners are often mentioned. Is there some reason the Pro-2036 is
shunned by listeners?

Since this is the model I have I wouldn't be surprised to hear that
they burst into flames.

Thanks,

I have to agree that the net has been pretty quiet regarding this model.  
However, I have been using one for about six months now and have nothing but 
praise for it.  It is one of the few that I have seen with a dial to 
incrementally tune both memory channels and freqs.  I don't know how well it 
does with rejection of unwanted signals since I live in the country well away 
from the city and most commercial transmitters.  I have connected it to a 
random length vertical made from one of the guy wires on my antenna mast and i
t 
seems to be doing very well.  One of my interests is aviation and I can pick u
p 
the two major airport ground stations at around 12 and 16 miles away.  This is
 
not intended to be a technical report on the 2036, just a reply from a 
satisfied user.

hands on one.I need to know how to load the lo/hi inputs,and what the
covered frequencies were.I'd also like to know if there are any simple 
mods that can be done to increase range and available channels.The scanner
will take some freqs,and just seem to ignore others when I try to put them
in.Any info or help appreciated;THANX,steps@einsteininfo.com

Jason: The RS discone is a good antenna. Beldon 9913 is an excellent 
cable to use. If you're area is prone to electrical interference of any 
kind, I strongly suggest using quad sheild cable. If 9913 is out of your 
price range, RG6 is an acceptable substitution.  RG58 & RG59 are NOT 
acceptable, unless your cable run is less than 20FT or so. 
Also, the RS discone does not come with a vertical element. This is 
(depending on your area) essential for reception of the lower band freq's.
 A friend simply installed a mobile CB antenna as the vertical element & 
noticed a great improvement on cordless, CB & lower amateur freq's. 
Good luck and happy scanning!

Merry christmas all...

Santa was GREAT to me this year.  I found a discone scanner antenna in my 
stocking (the Rat Shack one).

Does anyone have any info on this antenna?  What cable should I use to 
connect this antenna to my scanner?  Is there anyway to improve the 
preformance?  ect. ect.

I plan on putting it in my attic for the short-term and possibly mounting 
it on a tower in the distant future.

All your help is greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail to me directly.

Since the discone is a zero gain type antenna, do what I did-use
Belden 9913 feedline. It is VERY low loss but kind of stiff to work
with. I use it on my Diamond D-130j discone and it works great! I
understand that you can put a cb type antenna on top to improve low
band operation.
Have fun!

Steve,

Thanks for the info on the cable and the antenna.  Do you have any 
suggestions on how I could mount something onto the centre hub to improve 
my low-end freqs?

Thanks.

Jason

Don't know where you are located, but for many areas, the "ScannerMaster"
guides are clearly the best.  They cover all of the public safety freqs,
many of the other services, many federal freqs, a lot of info on system
operation, 10-codes, unit numbering, etc.  Plenty of input from scanner
listeners in the particular area, not just a rehash of an FCC list.  Not
all areas have a ScannerMaster edition though.

My county has decided to switch to an 800Mhz repeater-based
system for all govt and police operations in about two years.
This is supposed to be a "digital" system. What does this
mean, relative to scanning ? Is the audio digitialized like
on a CD, or do they just mean that there will be buried
digital info which helps direct the radio traffic ??? The
system contract is with Motorola. 

In a related vein - the police have discussed using voice
scrambling on at least some of their channels, apparently
Motorola offers this as a standard option. Any ideas on
how to defeat this ?

If your PD has purchased a Motorola ASTRO system, you are pretty much 
out of luck.  I personally saw a DEMO on a digital trunk system 
(Ericcson's EDACS) in the Analog mode and the AEGIS "Digital Mode".  The 
scanner could hear the analog while the Digital mode was just noise but 
clear on the portable radio.

If you PD has purchased a SmartNet II system, it is possible to run both 
clear and encrypted.  Only in encrypted you cannot monitor.

Hope this answers your questions.

73's and happy holidays.

That's a rather strong indictment on hams.  Most are quite good at not 
inteferering with other communications.  In most areas, NASA select being 
up on a repeater does not keep the users from accessing it.  Do I have 
disregard for anyone in the general public that might be listening in?  
Maybe a little - NASA isn't transmitted on the ham bands for their 
benefit anyway.

Clearly Cheek is just interested in riling people up with off-topic

Interestingly enough, key items were abscent from this post to put a new

Anyway, a couple of people expressed interested in my battery-less memory

I'm not sure what the whole deal is on cell reception since I'm new to 
the scanner world, but Santa brought me a Bearcat Sportcat about a week 
ago and while figuring the thing out I discovered that I picked up 
hundreds of cell calls in the 894 - 915 range.  I've been told that all 
mass market scanners in the U.S. don't pick up cell freqs, but I have 
made no mods to my scanner and have had the same results in three 
different cities.

I have been toying with the idea of buying an inexpensive scanner for 
goof-off portable use.  The UNIDEN SPORTCAT 150 looks like a decent 
contender, having the 800 Mhz band and all.

I have seen the question asked here before, but I never saw the answer...

Are there mods available/known for this unit to receive "extra" 800 Mhz 
coverage?  Just curious, of course.

I have checked most of the web sites that discuss mods and haven't seen 
one for this.  Thanks in advance for any info!

You may be picking up the audio from broadcast TV channel 69,
which is centered at 805.750MHz.  If not, then it is indeed either 
intermod from nearby transmitters or images.

I have an Icom R-100. For what I do with it, this is WAY more than I 
need. However, I have a need for a quality SW reciever with Sync.... I 
would be willing to work something out for one of the following:

Sony ICF-sw77
Grundig Satilit 700

I would also think about selling the unit for $575. I have the manual/box 
etc. The Ideal trade would be for a satillit 700/Pro 2006.... Any ideas? 
Contact nate at herb@csd.uwm.edu. 

PS: this thing has three antenna inputs, and with a wire in the 0-60mhz

100khz-1856mhs continuous, FULL 800 coverage. The radio is mint, and 
quite excellent for band scanning.... I can't use it on SW because it has

Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't write a story about it!

The Tropez 900mhz phones use digital modulation with encryption. Sounds like 
DVP on a scanner.

Yep, the Tropez IS Spread Spectrum (FH). You're probably thinking of 
Spread Spectrum (DS) which spreads the signal out over a certaind 
bandwidth. The new phones use Freq Hopping Spread Spectrum. It offers 
better performance against interference. Most hop freqs every 300mSec or 
so. Just try picking it up on a scanner, ain't gonna happen. Er..Well, 
unless you can rig up a really wideband receiver. Not sure what type of 
encryption they use but GSM A4 would be my guess.

Truckers stay on CB channel 19
Most State patrol frequencies are on the 42Mhz band.  If your
scanner has a programmable search mode, program in 42-45Mhz
and run a continual search. Also be aware of repeater frequencies.
These are on the 154-156Mhz and the 456-457Mhz band.  Different
states do things different ways. Hope this helps

I have a Bearcat 200xlt that seems to have died.  I have power to it
as the unit scans (visually), but when I open the squelch, it will not
stop on a channel and I get no noise when the squelch is opened.  I am
sure something major is wrong.  I dont hear the speaker pop when I
turn it on, I used to hear that when it was working.  The unit is at
least 4 years old

My question is:

Has anyone sent a "dead" unit in for repair and not been charged an
arm & leg for the repairs?

I am not sure if it is worth sending out for revival.

Tnx for any comments or suggestions

        If your talking about the MT 500's (they were produced in the 
70's), the model number will tell you are the information needed about 
the radios.  They came in low band (30-50), VHF (150-175), or UHF 
(450-470), with 2 different power levels, 1-6 channels, no PL, PL, or 
digital PL.  The coding was as follows HxyBBBz1w---- (or HxyBBUz1w----) 
where x is power level (2 -2 watt, 3 - 5 watt/4 watt UHF)
, y is frequency range 1 - low band, 3 - VHF, 4 - UHF, z determined what 
type of PL, 1 - carrier squelch, 3 regular PL, and 6 - DPL, the w 
determined the number of channels (1,2,4, or 6).  There were also 2 
different size radios, the slimline models were low power and the wider 
ones were the high power multichannel.  Each used a different type of 
battery and charger.  The batteries/chargers were interchangeable with 
the HT 220 series radios.  Actually looking at my notes, the VHF range is 
listed as 136-174, and UHF from 403-512 but they're rare and used 
high-side injection.  The band split wasvery narrow on multifreq. radios 
(1/2 meg at tops).  Hope this information helps.  Jerry Abrams WB2ZEX

gone quiet.  Anybody know what the new frequency is?

        Bearcat had many years ago, a similar black box that attached to

I just got one of these scanners from a friend.  He did not have the manuals
or a schematic.  A gif, tiff, jpeg, or even a photo copy of the schematic
would be cool.

Merry christmas all...

Santa was GREAT to me this year.  I found a discone scanner antenna in my 
stocking (the Rat Shack one).

Does anyone have any info on this antenna?  What cable should I use to 
connect this antenna to my scanner?  Is there anyway to improve the 
preformance?  ect. ect.

I plan on putting it in my attic for the short-term and possibly mounting 
it on a tower in the distant future.

All your help is greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail to me directly.

Hi John:

Durham County (NC) is on a digital radio system, and the press
is able to purchase a radio that CAN follow the talkgroups from
the Emergency Services.  HOWEVER, Emergency Services can restrict
the talkgroups they will allow the press to listen to.  And I
understand they are EXPENSIVE!

Indeed it has.

I have had a recurring problems with Renewals purchased over a 2 year
period (including some sent to me as replacements by Rayovac) and 3
different chargers used at home and in the office. The cells develop 
internal shorts (like nicads) and die prematurely by leakage, or 
failure to reach or hold full charge.

The telltale sign is that they get HOT when charging, and the LED on the
small charger never goes out (or takes a very long time) as the cell does
not reach target voltage easily.

Rayovac at first told me this was a problem confined to the very first
batches of AAA cells, where I first reported it to them. However it
continues; I at present have several sets of AA, AAA, and D cells in use,
in which one or more exhibits this phenomenon to some degree. Once a
dendrite starts growing inside a cell, it gets worse worse until the cell
is unuseable, or I take it out of service ... or it explodes in the
charger.

If one cell in a set (as originally packaged) goes bad, eventually all
four will. Quite a few sets I've used are "clean" and none of the cells
ever goes bad; it dies a natural death (shorter and shorter discharge
cycles).

I am much less enthusiastic about Renewals than I once was. Rayovac's only
answer has been to replace the cells (I've stopped bothering to call them
- I'd be doing it every couple of months) and advise me to discharge them
less deeply (using a beeper battery one week on a charge is too deep??????).
They've offered to relace my charger; but when I tell them that three
different chargers (two PS1's and one PS2) all do the same thing - they
back down since they realize it's not the chargers' fault.

I've mailed dozens of defective cells to their "inspection" division,
where returns go to. Not a peep.

Truckers stay on CB channel 19
Most State patrol frequencies are on the 42Mhz band.  If your
scanner has a programmable search mode, program in 42-45Mhz
and run a continual search. Also be aware of repeater frequencies.
These are on the 154-156Mhz and the 456-457Mhz band.  Different
states do things different ways. Hope this helps

I was browsing through the radio books yesterday at Barnes & Noble and i 
came across a very interesting book on scanners.  I forget the name of 
the book, but it contained a section on legislation regarding scanning...
both federal and at the state level.  It noted that Kentucky recently 
enacted the nation's most sweeping anti-scanner law.  According to this 
book, mere POSSESSION of a scanner is illegal in Kentucky...even if the 
scanner is being stored for transport in the trunk of a vehicle.  It also 
stated that amateur radio operators are NOT exempt from the law.

It seems there would be several constitutional challenges to this law, 
not the least of which would be the illegality of possessing a scanner, 
inoperable, in the trunk of one's car while traveling through Kentucky.  
Would this not be a clear violation of interstate commerce provisions of 
the U.S. Constitution?

Hi Dave:

Saw your post about the Digital Trunk system and the newsmedia where you 
live.  Here in Honolulu, Hawaii, the news media will ALSO be allowed to 
purchase a radio that has LIMITED talkgoups in a monitor only capacity.  
The word I got was the price tag :  $3000.00.  This is due to the fact 
that they need a Ericcson EDACS Control Station Radio with AEGIS 
Digitial Mode Option.

The wife purchased my first scanner for my Christmas present (realistic 
Pro50).  When she asked the 'all to intellegent' counter person for the 
frequencies book he replied "It's in the box".  Naturally the owners 
manual does not have exact frequencies.

I've read all the FAQ's and FAF's I can find on the net in the last hour 
(THANKS for all that GREAT information) and I'll stop by 'the shack' as 
soon as it opens to buy a freq guide.

But until that time (an unlivable 20 or so hours from now!) I'd really 
appreciate if someone could e-mail me the freq for some stuff in Franklin 
County Missouri.  (County Sheriff, Union and St. Clair police, fire and 
ambulance, etc.) 

Thanks...  (Note that the wife has picked up the scanner as I was logging 
on and she's already found the neighbors cordless phone!  Maybe it won't 
be MY scanner afterall!)

Since the discone is a zero gain type antenna, do what I did-use
Belden 9913 feedline. It is VERY low loss but kind of stiff to work
with. I use it on my Diamond D-130j discone and it works great! I
understand that you can put a cb type antenna on top to improve low
band operation.
Have fun!

Greetings again.. I'm interested, but as far as I have seen, $900 is
WAY too much. I've seen the radio (1 radio, 1 battery) go about $450.
Extra battery $50, rapid charger $70, Mike $70. PLUS, could you
program it? I'd like to help ya out here, looks like you're not
selling.. Anyway, good luck.

This could be caused by a number of things.   Including shoving in the 
wrong external speaker plug in and bending the contacts inside.  In 
short, you're gonna have to take it apart and have a look.  If you are 
not familiarwith electronics you may want to find someone local that is.

Hmmmm, didn't Hitler ban the listening of radios because he didn't want
the people to listen in too.  I work in the public safety field and see
things on the MDT's all the time that if the public was ever able to read
some of those messages the officers who sent them would have been either
suspended or fired!  When there are no checks and balances more often than
not things get abused.  Why do these officers use the MDT's rather than
the two-way radio you might ask.  They believe the public can't monitor or
view their transmissions.  If the public could monitor the MDT's you can
bet on it that the officers would watch what they type over them.  Also
cars kill more people than scanners...Maybe we should ban them too since
the government thinks they can protect us from ourselves!

Scan*Star Plus for Windows will also do CTCSS/DCS scanning. And will run the 
456 at 50 CPS from Windows.

Demo avalable via www.scanstar.com

The JRC NRD535 and Drake R8A are both excellent.

Include software in your decision, you can check out a demo copy of Scan*Star 
from www.scanstar.com. The other guys have demos too.

I have to agree that the net has been pretty quiet regarding this model.  
However, I have been using one for about six months now and have nothing but 
praise for it.  It is one of the few that I have seen with a dial to 
incrementally tune both memory channels and freqs.  I don't know how well it 
does with rejection of unwanted signals since I live in the country well away 
from the city and most commercial transmitters.  I have connected it to a 
random length vertical made from one of the guy wires on my antenna mast and i
t 
seems to be doing very well.  One of my interests is aviation and I can pick u
p 
the two major airport ground stations at around 12 and 16 miles away.  This is
 
not intended to be a technical report on the 2036, just a reply from a 
satisfied user.

You're correct on the method used for clocking speeding vehicles by CHP
aircraft. They pace the plane by putting the speeding auto (most of the
ones they target are  obvious in relation to the other traffic) off
their left wing. That means they're flying off to your right side and
usually invisible. They increase or decrease the speed of the plane until
the vehicle is not moving forward or backward in relation to some part of
the plane--usually the wing or wing strut. They then follow along for 1/4
mile or so and watch the plane's speed. How do they know the speed of the
plane? These days there are several electronic navigation instruments that
are accurate enough to show absolute airspeed, not the airspeed determined
by on-coming wind pressure (which is skewed by the wind speed).

All this is pacing is timed to coincide with the speeding auto's passage
of an on-off ramp. Usually it's an underpass cross-road. That way, the
waiting CHP Mustangs aren't visible to freeway traffic. As the plane
finishes is pace, it radios to the ground units that the auto is
approaching and gives its description and lane number. "OK, I've got a
blue Ford Taurus in the number one lane at 95." At that instant, the
next-in-line CHP Mustang (usually there are 3 or 4) hits the accelerator
up the on-ramp. Vroom-m-m-m! If done right, they appear directly to your
left (if you're the target) exactly at your speed. Poof! The red light
goes on immediately and you've been had.

I use Probe from Datafile in St. Louis.  It does CTCSS, DTMF and DCS.  From
an old Compaq 486/25 it scans at about 50 channels a second and works

It is illegal to posses a scanner in Germany. So don't take it or it

What does arresting someone have to do with this? 
Other groups boycott support to city functions and 
no one gets bent out of shape, but I am supposed to lie down and let
the cities do what ever they please without my input. After all it is
our tax dollars paying for this system and I elect the local
government.

Certainly sounds like your hand-held is an amateur-radio (ham) vhf 
transceiver; the keypad is for entering the frequencies/channels and for 
DTMF (touch-tone) applications on repeaters; this radio requires the 
posssion of a ham-radio operators license to both own and use, so in fact 
just being in mere possesion is an FCC offense; despite that, so long as you 
don't interfere or transmit on amateur or commercial frequencies I doubt 
you'll run into any problems, and you could use the radio as a receiver on 
these bands with relatively little fear of prosecution; if you have no use 
for it you might try posting a  "for sale" in the amateur radio newsgroups - 
of which there are plenty, even one solely dedicated to selling used 
equipment. Of course you will need to provide at least a make and model 
number in your post, and if you have no  idea of the going price, which 
would also depend on the condition of the radio, you should be able to rely 
on the ethics of the ham-radio community to make you a decent offer.

   Oh yeah.   I bet that's pretty high up there on the list of things to
do in the Liberal government.  Yeah, who cares if the country is ripping
apart, and that deficit thing - no problem.  Lets go get all those nasty
scanner enthusiasts, that'll solve our problems.

    I don't think we have to worry too much, they're too busy with things
that are a little more important than making scanners "illigal".

When I scan the local police channels, my scanner will stop on a channel
that is broadcasting continuous noise.  I will then have to lock out that
channel in order to continue scanning.  

The next time that I scan the police band, it will be a different channel
that I have to lock out for the same reason.  Are the police attempting to
prevent the public from scanning their frequencies?

The pagers are setup on 154.235mhz (If I remember right). They are in
pretty good condition. There is some battery corrosion that should be
fixed on the door. They seem to work quite well. I would like 25.00
dollars each. Shipping is included if in the U.S..

If interested, leave e-mail.

You are tuning the data channel on a system of trunked channels.
The data channel changes every day.
While annoying, this really isn't an intentional effort to jam scanners;
that's the way the system works.

Steve,

Thanks for the info on the cable and the antenna.  Do you have any 
suggestions on how I could mount something onto the centre hub to improve 
my low-end freqs?

Thanks.

Jason: The RS discone is a good antenna. Beldon 9913 is an excellent 
cable to use. If you're area is prone to electrical interference of any 
kind, I strongly suggest using quad sheild cable. If 9913 is out of your 
price range, RG6 is an acceptable substitution.  RG58 & RG59 are NOT 
acceptable, unless your cable run is less than 20FT or so. 
Also, the RS discone does not come with a vertical element. This is 
(depending on your area) essential for reception of the lower band freq's.
 A friend simply installed a mobile CB antenna as the vertical element & 
noticed a great improvement on cordless, CB & lower amateur freq's. 
Good luck and happy scanning!

I don't think this is true any more - last I heard was that they are at least

North-South skip is being heard as I type this (10:30 am EST)

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.   
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz (continuous without blockage) and receives in
WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a
10 band search function, pass memory function, and other goodies found in
high-end scanners.   
 
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:   
Channel No.      Frequency Limits                                 Band

Of course, you can change factory settings, but best of all the coverage is
continuous with no blockages.  It also has a battery save function.

I need some Bearcat scanner info.  I recently purchased a "350A",
50-channel, 11-band mobile unit (for $99) and I am not completely
satisified with it. Can anyone advise me on my options with regard to
later/newer Bearcat mobile models?  I can live without "800" capabilities,
but I would like a "priority" feature, as well better backlighting for the
display.  Direct numeric entry would be nice, as well.  Do later models
offer any such features?  I've seen an expensive model at Best Buys, with
a built-in "highway patrol alert" feature.  I can live without that.  The
scanner will be used, primarily, to monitor a pair of fire channels. 

Any information, advice, etc. is appreciated.  Please e-mail.  Thanks.

goof-off portable use.  The UNIDEN SPORTCAT 150 looks like a decent 
contender, having the 800 Mhz band and all.

I have seen the question asked here before, but I never saw the answer...

Are there mods available/known for this unit to receive "extra" 800 Mhz 
coverage?  Just curious, of course.

I have checked most of the web sites that discuss mods and haven't seen 
one for this.  Thanks in advance for any info!

Why does the control channel "need" to change, ever, much less every
day? I've wondered that more than once. Anyone out here have an
answer?

I have a Bearcat 200xlt that seems to have died.  I have power to it
as the unit scans (visually), but when I open the squelch, it will not
stop on a channel and I get no noise when the squelch is opened.  I am
sure something major is wrong.  I dont hear the speaker pop when I
turn it on, I used to hear that when it was working.  The unit is at
least 4 years old

My question is:

Has anyone sent a "dead" unit in for repair and not been charged an
arm & leg for the repairs?

I am not sure if it is worth sending out for revival.

Tnx for any comments or suggestions

I'm not sure what the whole deal is on cell reception since I'm new to 
the scanner world, but Santa brought me a Bearcat Sportcat about a week 
ago and while figuring the thing out I discovered that I picked up 
hundreds of cell calls in the 894 - 915 range.  I've been told that all 
mass market scanners in the U.S. don't pick up cell freqs, but I have 
made no mods to my scanner and have had the same results in three 
different cities.

Andy Moss, more than likely.  Otherwise, you have me confused with

I don't.  I haven't.  For over a year, Andy Moss has been attacking me

That's nice of you to say so.  Thanks.  Do understand that this sort

a couple of other things thrown in for good measure.

I intend to bother only Andy Moss....UNLESS....you wish to be

Yes, that would be nice, but m'boy, Andy Moss, has been attacking me
here in this forum for a year....and no one else shuts him up.  Or
chides him for it.  Some people went so far as to accuse me of being
afraid to stand up to him.

Ouch!  That hurts.  So since I can't please everyone, and since
everyone is free to read or not as they see fit, I will attempt to
please myself and m'boy, Andy, and leave others to please themselves
for the time being.

Sound like a plan?

I recently picked up a Realistic pro-2001 scanner at a yard sale,and was 
wondering if anyone had an owners manual or nows where I could put my
hands on one.I need to know how to load the lo/hi inputs,and what the
covered frequencies were.I'd also like to know if there are any simple 
mods that can be done to increase range and available channels.The scanner
will take some freqs,and just seem to ignore others when I try to put them
in.Any info or help appreciated;THANX,steps@einsteininfo.com

It depends on what kind of 'noise' you are talking about.  If it sounds
kinda like a loud diesel engine, then it's simply the trunking system data
control channel, and probably (but not absolutely) is your best bet if
they are in the 800MHz range.  It carries coded information that is picked up 
by all the radios in the radio system and is the "brains" that coordinates
all radios and the frequencies they use.  This data channel does change
from time to time (day to day) to distribute the wear and tear on the 
repeater.   

The other type of noise would be true digitally encrypted transmissions, 
which would sound more like modem noise (an annoying, roaring sound).  In 
this particular case, yes, the police are encrypting their transmissions
so you cannot hear.  These digitally encrypted transmissions are currently
just about impossible to unscramble with the technology available to 
the average scannist.

Hope it helps, and don't give up.  Your method of locking out the
control channel is a common technique for trying to track trunked
radio transmissions.  It's sometimes a manual task, and it helps
to turn off your scanner delay since a conversation can bounce over
several different frequencies, adding to the "challenge".  You don't
want your scanner sitting on a 2 sec. delay while the chatter 
continues on another trunk frequency.

ERM.. Sorry Keith, I'm having a problem understanding you. Maybe it;s cos I'm 
 
English or something! Here is the problem as I see it...

Imagine the situation... Theives break in to a dept on an industrial estate at
 about 
02:00. They are equiped with (amongst other things) crow-bar, electric drill, 
scanner 
they picked up from Tandy (Radio Shack) for 100. They smash a couple of doors,
 and 
try to drill the door to the safe. Unfortunately for them, one of them wanders
 into 
the next room, which happens to be the first door with an alarm. Of course, th
e bells 
don't start ringing straight away, instead a central control room is informed 
and a 
message is relayed to the local police station. The local police call up on th
e radio 
for a unit to attend this address because the alarm has gone off. 

Now, up until this point, the theives are unaware that they have set the alarm
 off. 
As soon as they hear the radio they get their stuff together, jump in the van 
and 
drive off and manage to escape about a minute before the first police unit arr
ives.

Think about what would of happened if the radio's were encrypted.. They would 
not of 
had any warning that the ploice were comming and there is a fair chance that t
he 
would have been caught in the act.

With this in mind, what possible argument can you put up to suggest the police
 should 
NOT use encrypted radios?

I notice that you DO allow their use for anti-terrorist or anti-drugs operatio
ns. If 
these criminals use scanners, what makes you think that other criminals don't?

IMHO if there is a technology avaliable to the police which helps in the fight
 
against crime, then they should damn well use it. So what if it means that the
 
ordinary Joe Bloggs or John Doe can't listen in on what's happening?

That's counterproductive, and as others have said, bucks progress.

Instead, you should push for assurance of non-real time access to recorded
traffic by recognized news agencies and for laws preventing destruction of
these tapes.  If strong enough, these laws should help contain abuse to hopefu
lly
acceptable levels.

One question: Are you scanning the 800 MHz frequencies of a trunked system?  
If so, the continous "noise" you hear is the "handshake" channel.  Most 
systems alternate that channel to one of several and it changes from time to 
time.

HELP!  I am looking for a tracking transmitter circuit that I saw in an 
electronics magazine (don't remember which one) about 1 or 2 years ago. 
The circuit used two 555 IC chips so it could be very small and light, 
and I think the article pictured the transmitter mounted on a turtle. If any 
one remembers seeing this article please email me or post a reply.

Thanks

OK, here is the scoop...

I just got my CE232 interface, and while the board looks easy enough, I have 
no tools or desire to cut the db25 connector hole in the back of the unit. I 
am sending it all to the linkall guys, and while it is there, I am getting 
the 25,600 memory unit installed..

For those of you that are looking for the schematic/instructions for the 
25600 mod, I would suggest getting in touch with Mark Persson, the guy that 
builds them.. He can be contacted via SASE at:

1369 Lombardy Blvd
Bay Shore, NY. 11706...

BTW: His number IS in the book, so, while I wont post it here, I have been 
lucky enough to talk to him directly on a couple of occasions... Linkall 
with the dual speed auto switching oscil. crystal and keypad/computer 
control is the only way to go...

Now,come on, as a radio amateur, did you not read and recite any of thelaws

sure about the legalities anymore, as it has been a few years since I took a 
talkie to Canada, but, the will NOT confiscate it. They may require you to 
leave it at the border, or have it shipped back home, but they don't usually 
just keep things...

As for the thread, radar detectors are illegal in most of the places I have 
traveled in Canada... I was even stopped once on Prince Edward Island and 
asked if my cell phone was a radar detector... Whew, it was in the glove box!

Scanners are not illegal, and , I doubt if they will ever be totally banned. 
I doubt they will even have most of the shitty restrictions we suffer from in 
the states....

I just picked up a PRO-28 scanner on sale for $89. It has 30 channels but
does not receive the 800 MHz band. I've been using a PRO-2021 for quite a
while (which doesn't have the 800 MHz band either) and was looking for an
inexpensive portable. I have the receipt (and 30 days!) to decide if I
want to keep the PRO-28.

How important is the 800 MHz band? Most of the local frequencies around
here aren't 800 MHz yet. Is it difficult to monitor the 800 MHz band,
especially when a trunked system is used?

What is a good portable scanner w/ the 800 MHz band for less than $200? Is
the PRO-28 modifiable at all?

Me too!
I own a PRO-51. I work for Radio Shack (no comments please it sucks as
bad as you've heard). I like my Pro-51 but have not heard of a cell mod
that works. The older PRO-51's (mid '95 and older) There is a keypad
code for opening the cell bands but it doesn't work on the new models
like mine :-(  The code is to hold down band, 2, and 9, while turning
on the scanner then the LCD screen will scroll all the lights. Wait
until it scrolls once and then press L/O, 2,and 9. If your not sure
wich scanner you have look on the bottom of the box. If there is an
orange dot on the box, you have a corrected model and cannot use the
keypad code. I have not yet heard of a mod for the corrected model yet.
SUCKS but that's the SHACK.
Later

This happens to most well used HTs, scanners, etc. [Standard HTs have an
extra screw in their BNC mount to avoid this problem.] I fixed my AR8K
for the same problem too long ago to give you specific hints, but here
goes.

The screws in the battery compartment are the first step. You need to
remove the screws in the 'rubber' side strips. Only remove the two
screws on the same "half" of the scanner where the battery compartment
is. You can remove all 4 screws where the rubber strips are, but this
tends to be more work.  You may have to remove an internal PC board to
get to the BNC. [I've played with the radio quite a bit and can't
remember how much was needed to do a specific task.] Once you get to the
BNC, I would advise loosening it a bit more, then applying LOCKTITE
before tightening the nut again. I have done this on my HT and scanner
and wish they would leave the factory with LOCKTITE!

When opening up the AR8K, be careful with the battery clips. They can
fall out of the case. The clips connect to a socket inside the radio and
are loose when the radio is apart.

I just bought a PRO-28 which has 30 channels and doesn't have the 800MHz
band. I have the receipt and 30 days to return the unit. I'm leaning
toward do just that, but I don't know how important the 800 MHz band is,
how hard listening to trunked systems is, and what would be a good
portable w/ the 800 MHz band for < $200. Any suggestions?

Stephen

I have been using a PRO-2021 for the last 5 years or so, and most of the
local frequencies I listen to are not in the 800 MHz band

I live out here on Nantucket Island, Ma  30 miles out to sea

and have heard several police transmissions from what appears to 

be the South. Due to their accents  ...........

The reason I listen to 42.50 Mhz is because our State Police is on it.

I own one of these and am quite happy with it.  This model only has 50
channels, but is a good scanner.  It is very easy to operate and has
nice sensitivity.

My county has decided to switch to an 800Mhz repeater-based
system for all govt and police operations in about two years.
This is supposed to be a "digital" system. What does this
mean, relative to scanning ? Is the audio digitialized like
on a CD, or do they just mean that there will be buried
digital info which helps direct the radio traffic ??? The
system contract is with Motorola. 

In a related vein - the police have discussed using voice
scrambling on at least some of their channels, apparently
Motorola offers this as a standard option. Any ideas on
how to defeat this ?

If your PD has purchased a Motorola ASTRO system, you are pretty much 
out of luck.  I personally saw a DEMO on a digital trunk system 
(Ericcson's EDACS) in the Analog mode and the AEGIS "Digital Mode".  The 
scanner could hear the analog while the Digital mode was just noise but 
clear on the portable radio.

If you PD has purchased a SmartNet II system, it is possible to run both 
clear and encrypted.  Only in encrypted you cannot monitor.

Hope this answers your questions.

73's and happy holidays.

Start by going to your county government officials and the local newspapers
and pointing how they are wasting your tax money on a system which is a
hazard to you and the public-safety people who will use it.

Also point out the political hazards of secret police.

Hitler didn't ban listening to radio. He used it as a propaganda tool to 
spout his brand of venom. He might have been upset if "good" Germans were 
listening to the BBC, though.

They calculate the "ground speed" of the airplane.  Airspeed, "true"
or "indicated", is of little use to an aircrew clocking cars (except 
airspeed is required to keep the plane flying- I guess that's useful).

Last Sunday (12/24), at the Trans World Dome in St. Louis (site of
the Rams-Dolphins NFL game), I discovered that 457.5875 MHz was the
frequency on which the "JumboTron director" was operating. That game
was the first Rams home game in which the network (Fox or NBC) feed
was not the primary source for game action. Evidently, the Rams A/V
people took control of all the JumboTron action for the first time on
12/24. Previous scans at the TWD failed to turn up anything at 
457.5875 MHz (although I was in different seats for those previous
games, so that could be a mitigating factor).

I use Scanstar Commercial & Scanstar Pro. It has all the provisions for 
ctcss and dcs scanning. One feature I find useful is the ability to 
specify a pl tone when doing a search and store. For example certain 
federal agencies use one pl on a nationwide basis. All you have to do is 
enter that tone in your search and store parameters and over a period of 
time you will find all that agencies active freqs.

   25 kHz.  Also, since the PRO-2006 was made by GRE, it defaults to FM mode 
in that band.  Be sure to set AM unless you're trying to monitor satellites.

        I had a friend visit from Hamburg a few weeks ago and was fascinated 
with my handheld scanner, particullary with what is in the 800 mhz band (over 
here, anyway). I posted a message to a few newgroups concerning German 
frequency allocations and got a response from someone somewhere in Germany of 
a book by Franzis Verlag: "Frequenzliste 30kHz-10GHz" and a place in German to
 
purchase scanners, and I personally found a www site that lists a few German 
"frequenzes", but none for Frankfort specifically. I do remember that most of 
their aircraft allocations are in the same range as ours, around 110?-135 mhz,
 
so there's a good start. Since this information is available, I would be lead 
to believe that it's now legal, but I admit I can't say for sure. I'll be 
going there myself this summer and was considering taking my scanner, even 
though I don't know a lick of German. But please keep my e-mail address handy 
and let me know of any interesting ranges to scan.

Why do you say that?

The pack is only rated 600 mAH ... and you can buy individual nicad AA cells
for the battery holder, right at the same store, rated 850 mAH.

Interestingly enough, key items were abscent from this post to put a new

Anyway, a couple of people expressed interested in my battery-less memory

I always keep 42.120 plugged into my scanner. This will always tell me when
the skip is running. From Ottawa, Canada I have monitored Missouri, South
Carolina and the CHip's. This was during the last sunspot peak, hey folks
guess what we are on the upswing for skip again for the next couple of

Yo speaking of the 800 MHz system in PDX, its seems pretty messed... Often
the police comm shows up on dedicated cell freqs.  What I want to know is
how do they negotiate this with US WEST/CELLULAR ONE cell ops?  I mean
sometimes I'll hear a police comm and then after the trunked system
switches channels a cell phone pops up on the original channel.  Wouldn't
this cause a lot of interference or is it all controlled by computer? 
Also can some one post all the PDX police freqs in the 800 MHz trunked
system, I lost the ones I had.

The CE-232 Scanner/Computer Interface now supports the following
scanners:

Full 2-way Data Acquisition & Control including AutoProgramming:

PRO-2004      PRO-2005       PRO-2006

1-way remote control and AutoProgramming:

PRO-2042      PRO-2035       PRO-2030
PRO-2022      PRO-26           PRO-43
PRO-39          PRO-37           PRO-34

It is possible now for the CE-232 to support many other scanners in
addition to those mentioned above.  Only a short beta test period is
required to develop support for most scanners not listed above.

If interested, contact me by e-mail.

Does anyone know of a place to get a Radio Shack Pro-43 and Pro-34 mod
to restore cellular?  Is it still legal to do so?  I live in Georgia
and would like the name of company nearby.  Also, what should I expect
to pay?

Looking like a true goodbuddy, Moss.  What if it isn't OK with

It used to be. Receiver such as the Icom IC-R7100 or even IC-R9000 could 
only be sold in Germany (West) with essentially Amateur frequencies on 
(HF,VHF,UHF) but the situation has changed and no such regulations exist 
any more so you will (or should) have no problems - take it with you.

I've used this scanner for some time now and i'm very happy with it.
It is easy to use and it looks good. This model has 50 channels
divided in 5 groups of 10 channals and it also includes the 900 MHz
band (Atleast the european version does). Sensitivity is very good.
It has two scanning speeds so it can also pick up stations that are a
bit further away. Apart from this it has the standard Bearcat features
like weather band search, possibility to search between two frequency
limits and the priority function.
In my opinion it's a very good model.

Roger,

I beg to differ with you on Mil air step sizes. Most Uhf aero radios use 
25KHz spacing. Volk Field in Wisconsin uses 298.775 & 283.775 MHz in the 
640 A/B MOA. They also along with most ATC use 50KHz spacing IE 319.650 
Entry /Exit control. Though 25KHz spacing is somewhat rare it is in use 
and most of the radios are capable of those freqs. There is also alot of 
MILAIR comms in the 138-144MHz range using 25KHz spacing (AM Mode). On a 
recent trip to Springfield Illinois I confirmed the ANG out of Capitol 
airport testing Digitally encrypted Comms from their F16s' VHF AM. In the 
Midwest there is alot of VHF MILAIR traffic along with Uhf traffic. If 
you live in Illinois keep an ear on 350.350MHz (AM). If you can obtain a 
list of current ATC freqs for your area the Uhf freqs should also be 
listed. If you listen to those freqs they will usually say what freq they 
are going to. A good outside antenna is also important. Good luck....

Hi Alex,

> Could any kind soul give me some hints about reset this device.

There is no "easy" reset on the AR2000. You need to do a "hard" reste to 
the CPU. This will clear all memory channels and also set the 10 search 
banks to Japanese Factory defaults.

It is neccesary to dissasemble your radio and connect a jumper wire and 
then by using the keypad rest the CPU. The instructions are on our WWW 
site (www.demon.co.uk/javiation/cpu1.html if you want to go straight to 
the file) and follow the AR2000 keypad reset not the AR1000.

If you don't have WWW access I'll mail you a .txt copy of the file if 
you wish.

All the best

If existing laws have failed to stop police corruption, why should new ones 
fair any better?  Just like many other professional groups, the police have 
shown time after time that they are incapapable of policing themselves in any 
consistent long-term manner.  The best check we have on our government is an 
open review by those they have sworn to protect and serve.

Dont you think things may have advanced just a little since then?
My 486 has been all but superseded in the 18 months since I bought it.
I have an open mind, though. Any first hand knowledge out there?

I saw a posting on here the other day on converting a 2 channel Motorola
Maxtrac(VHF High Band) to a 16 channel.  I have access to both the
software and hardware I need some technical advice on how to do it.  I
have
4 mobiles and 1 base station I use for my construction company and would
like to convert them to 16 channel radios.  I priced out new radios from a
local guy and he wants $425 a pop for 16 channel ones(used, no less) and I
spoke to a friend who says the hardware is only about $25 for each radio
so I

I saw a posting on here the other day on converting a 2 channel Motorola
Maxtrac(VHF High Band) to a 16 channel.  I have access to both the
software and hardware I need some technical advice on how to do it.  I
have
4 mobiles and 1 base station I use for my construction company and would
like to convert them to 16 channel radios.  I priced out new radios from a
local guy and he wants $425 a pop for 16 channel ones(used, no less) and I
spoke to a friend who says the hardware is only about $25 for each radio
so I
figured this was the way to go.  I really could use some help from you
guys.
I'm really not a radio-guy, I'm a scanner-guy myself.  Any help would be

   I have read that a 3/8" internally threaded coupling can be used. I
found them at the local large chain hardware/building supply store.
This will mate the threaded stub on the discone to many moble type CB
antennas.      Si B.

What is the story with Uniden's Bearcat 890XLT scanner.  It seemed like
a good idea at the time, but frankly it's performance is lousy. 
Side-by-side with my old 210XLT, the 210 pulls in more, better, faster.

Is the 890XLT known as the Edsel of scanners.  The antenna fits poorly.
Uniden has been unresponsive and when I mentioned it to Amateur Radio
where I bought it, I got little more than a smirk and no answer.

Is it a lemon, or did I just get a lousy model?

     Use your scanner through your car stereo. If your not one of the
lucky ones to have an aux input, Use your speaker out or earphone out of
your scanner to feed your tape deck. try using a CD to Cassette adapter
with a stereo to mono jack. It works great with my BC2500 and the adapter
cost $19.95 at Radio Shack.

Ok, I listen to my local police, fire, amb. trunk system, and it's
exactly what you described with the data channel that changes every 24
hours.  That I understand.  But theres one thing that I haven't
figured out...  once in a while there's a series of what sounds like
data bursts in a cycle like on-off-on-off-on-off... not a regular
rate, but almost as if someone is doing it manually.   Sometimes i'll
hear  squak-squak-squak  each about a half second long, and about a
half second between each.  I thought it might be just what you
described above, but I didn't think they had the capability to send
coded messages for one, and if they did, I would expect the messages
to be a constant data noise, not bursts.

Anyway, you seemed fairly knowledgable on the subject, so I figured
I'd throw this one at you.

Thanks in advance

Putting this on will mess up the swr if you ever plan on using it for
transmitting on any of the ham bands

How much gain are you looking for ( Pin and Pout ) ?
I have plans for a 6M 80 watt linear amp using a single
Motorola MRF492. Relatively inexpensive and easy to build.
Send me an SAE with a buck inside (your stamps are no good
up here in Canada) and I'll send you a copy.

A Lemon !
I dumped my 890 3 weeks after I got it.
Side by side comparisons with my PRO-2004 and 2006 proved the
890 to be all-show-no-go.
I really liked the slick look but functionally, the VFO knob
was the only decent thing about it.
Sensitivity and selectivity SUCKED.
Technically, the quality of the pc board could be likened to
that of a cheap telephone, with crappy phenolic snap-off
sub boards that were ladened with uncleaned flux from the
wave soldering process.

2 thumbs down for the 890XLT !

Please post something about what scanning in Russia is like. For
instance, can you legally own a scanner in the USSR. If you do post
something, include a blurb about "free to echo this post if copied in
its entirety" as I am sure many other are curious about scanner laws in
Russia.

Sounds like a trunked system to me. If its not trunked, maybe they have
a mobile data terminal and rotate the channel so they do not "wear out"
the repeater transmitting the data.

Our local county is taking over dispatch for the entire county consisting 
of about 25 - 30 agencies. Part of it will be strictly digital, however 
as they are already switching it still has some analog that can be 
received.  Does anyone know of any new receivers coming out that will 
handle this.  My wife would still like to be able to listen to me at 
work. Any info would be appreciated.

A friend has one of these turkeys.It is the worst scanner I've ever
used,with the exception of the infamous BC8500XLT.DON'T BUY IT!Save your
money and get something else.The 855 gets all kinds of Images,spurs etc,and
unless you are out in the sticks 20 miles away from any strong source of
RF,you will be dissapointed.The 800 MHZ reception sucks,including the cell
band.It's just trash!!!Good luck..

A while back I was pulled over at a random auto check in Ky. When the officer 
noticed my scanner I had to show my copy of my ham license to him and he told 
me it was a good thing I had it with me. He did not say what would of happaned
 
if I did not produce the license.

I would sugest 25KHz spacing although you can't choose this on the 
PRO-2006 - you would need to use 12.5Khz so the time taken to search a 
particlar part of the spectrum is increased.

As you are in the USA though you may be better using 50KHz steps as this 
sees to be more the norm in the US although I'm sure you will find some 
units using 25KHz spacing for Air/Air comms.

Here in the UK/Europe there are many 25KHz spaced channels.

Since IC6 is known as "MX8045" IC,GRE-9108A MOS CPU.  I would say GRE 
makes this one. See "http://www.tandy.com/rs/support/html8/8561.html" for

A few days back there was a posting for info on Richmond Hts. Ohio police.
 The Hillcrest area police (and Fire Depts) including Richmond Hts.,
Mayfield, Lyndhurst, Gates Mills, Mayfield Village...Share frequencies in
the 420-430 mhz band.  The repeater outputs are on the low side (422-425).

The University Hts. PD, Garfield Hts. PD and fire, Bedford Pd and fire,
Solon Pd and the Chagrin Valley PD are other departments which have also
moved to this band which is only authorized in Detroit, Cleveland and
Buffalo due to the lack of other available frequencies due to the
proximity to Canada and being North of line"A" (50 miles from the border).
 I dont have the frequency list with me right now but you can E-mail me
for further information.

Why BUY additional software??? Why not take the software written for the 
interface and use it.. OOPS, Sorrrry, I forget, the Opto unit comes with 
little/no software... However, the CE232 comes complete with software and it 
is DOS, not stupid old windows! Why should I be forced to bring up windows 
just to play with the scanner??? Also, CE232 folks (Bill Cheek) will supply 
you with the CE232 developers kit if you are so inclined and wish to write 
your own stuff....

And, the CE232 when installed externally will allow for multiple scanners to 
be controlled from the same unit... 

Just got mine for Xmas, and am installing it while I read the news...

Merry XMAS to you to, Ed!  :>  Thanks for your reply...

Is this the Canadian radio license database?  I guess it would have to be 
to total over 100 megs.  This sounds like a good candidate for a CDROM.  
I don't suppose anybody in the newsgroup knows if somebody offeres this 
on CD, would they?

I was actually just looking for a band plan table, but to get something 
like this would be great too.

   I bought the radio shack police call just recently. I am not all that
impressed. I live in the Las Vegas area and some of the frequencies they
list are not accurate.

Maybe the police need to be reminded who they serve. The people 
who pay their salaries have the right to know what the police 
are up to. Also many people help the police by calling in 
information about things they hear over their scanners if 
thgese communications aren't available the police would be 
missing out on an invaluable resource.

I see no reason their daily communications should be encrypted. 
Surveillance and other operations have valid reasons for being 
encrypted, not daily police calls.

Having just gone to San Diego and back on two different airlines (United 
and TWA), both airlines made announcements that devices that transmit or 
receive signals are not allowed at any time.  They specified AM/FM 
radios, I think one of them mentioned two-way radio, but neither 
mentioned scanners specifically.  But since a scanner operates by 
receiving signals, it would fall under that restriction.

Then again, after lurking here for a while, it seems to me that a large 
portion of scanner enthusiasts have the opinion of "as long as they don't 
catch me, it's okay, besides, if they didn't want me listening, they 
should keep their airwaves off my property."  I'm not saying ALL, by any 
means, but there seem to be a awful lot of them...

Just an observation from the other side of the fence.

  My apologies.  Here you asked for info on the KENTUCKY scanner law
and for some reason I gave you information regarding the OKLAHOMA scanner 
law.

  I accept any rebukings you may wish to send my way with my head bowed 
in stupid realization that I...must have been floating in la-la land or 
something.  8-(

   `Baldwin's Kentucky Revised Statutes Annotated' is the book you want to 
look for.  And as before, look in the back cover for that Supplement for 
any updates of the law.

  I have the law posted at my site and, there is a specific exemption down 
there near the bottom for any amateur radio operators, such:

[...]
  (4)  Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit the possession of a 
radio by:
[...]
  (c) ...a person holding a valid license issued by the Federal 
Communications Commission in the amateur radio service;...
[...]

  Hope this helps you.  :)

73,

Todd

At the least you would have lost your scanner.  Kentucky does have
very strict scanner laws.  I wasn't trying to say otherwise.  I was
only saying that hams are exempt.  I was even told by a Louisville
police officer that he was not allowed to carry a scanner without a
permit, only issued police radio gear.  I never checked on that so
take it for what it's worth.

I personally have never been asked to show a license.  But I rarely
have my scanner with me, just ham gear that will scan police
frequencies.  It may have made a difference that you had a regular
scanner.

My comment on not knowing about mere possession of a scanner was in
reference to having one boxed up and not in an easily usable location.
If it is where you can use it and you are not a ham they will take it.

I think that Kentucky scanner laws are too restrictive but there
doesn't appear to be much that can be done about it.  I keep a copy of
my license with me all the time anyway so I just go on and don't worry
about.

      I got a new scanner for Christmas to replace my old one, but on the 
new scanner I can't hear some of the channels that I could on the old one 
and other channels just aren't as clear. Is this just a problem with the 
antenna or is there something else I could do?  Thanks.
                                                 Tom

I'm in the market for a frequency counter.  Should I get the Radio
Shack one or should I spend a little bit more for something better.

Thanks for any help.

Existing laws have failed to stop police corruption for the same reason that
existing laws have failed to stop crime.

For every hour you spend listening to the unimportant routine local ramblings 
of the police etc you are not spending an hour trying to ACTIVELY (publically,
drumming up support, for REAL issues, national ones, the big fish) change and
improve things on the important levels.

I bet politicians just love it when the gullible public they so despise is so 
easily
diverted towards all these little unimportant local issues.  Then they have a
field day with us.

It's a great tactic (and, by the way, the Republicans are easily the best at t
his),
hit people with outrageous laws they MUST fight (for dignity, Religon, medical
care, etc) then really do a number on them with the important stuff.

Can anyone help?!  How do you program a priority channel into a Yupiteru
MVT7100?  No matter what I've tried I can't get rid of the factory
programmed frequency as the "priority"..... thanks in advance.

While it may only be an interesting coincidence, I have a similar problem with
 
my AOR1000XLT.  I had to modifiy it to allow me to do a "hard" reset to the 
CPU, but all my functionality came back and the scanner is flawless now.
 
Perhaps a reset might help you?  Can't tell you anything about your model, but
 
it might be worth a look.

I was not trying to cause trouble. However, I bought one myself via
mail and I was disgusted with the receiver performance. It simply
would not scan some frequencies because of signals from other frequencies.
Although I was impressed with the size and frequency coverage I could
not accept the receiver performance so I sold it and bought a better
scanner.
 
I wondered if mine was faulty so I asked in alt.radio.scanner for opinions
on it. The replies I got backed up what I found. Several people indicated
to me that they had theirs only a short time before selling.
 
Also, why would you want to swap for a scanner with less channels and
coverage? Because the 2006 has a superb receiver?

I have seen and used a Ramsey Inverter with a Radio Shack Pro-2006 for test 
purposes.  The Radio Shack Pro 2006 has a tape out jack, and we used that as 
the source of scanner audio to the inverter.  The output of the inverter was 
then fed to a stereo system so we could listen to it (it could also go to a 
recorder).
 
The Ramsey is only effective on simple inversion schemes, and is tantalizingly
 
close to working well enough on simple fixed split-band inversion systems, but
 
not quite.
 
Unless you are tracking scrambled signals that are using simple fixed single 
band inverters, then it is just a toy without much use (except as a BFO, 
maybe).

This is  really an apple to orange comparison and about as valid. The Opto
controls the scanner, decodes tones and does other tricks; the CE232 is
basically an autoprogrammer.In any case, all of that is irrelevant. The
gentlemen asked about scanner software, not the differences between these
two devices...

I use Scancat Gold for my AOR8000 and I've been completely satisfied with
its perfromance. What I don't like about it is that the menus and other
aspects of the user interface are not particularly logical. If you want
specifics, I'll provide them off-line... The manual is deporable. Price is
$95, which what the others go for.

My advice? Lots of demo programs around. Try them and see which one suits
your need.

Actually, it comes with demo software and nothing else.

The MVT 8000 is 200 channel ac/dc scanner with a  
mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a cigarette lighter adapter
although it can be hard wired.    
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz (continuous without blockage) and receives in
WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.   
 
It's got a 10 band search function, pass memory function, and other goodies
found in high-end scanners.

Program the ferquency you wish to use as Priority into channel 1000 as 
you would any other channel. Rtaher than confirming the channel number 
briefly it will say "P"

eg. To put 123.85MHz as Priority

    123.75 ENT 1000 FUNC MW

Hey Barry
Where are you located?
You might want to specify what country those frequencies are used in cuz they
ain't here in the states.  The U.S. Freqs for the  cordless phone HF band is:


BASE    HANDSETS
43.72   48.76
43.74   48.84
43.82   48.86
43.84   48.92
43.92   49.02
43.96   49.08
44.12   49.10
44.16   49.16
44.18   49.20
44.20   49.24
44.32   49.28
44.36   49.36
44.40   49.40
44.46   49.46
44.48   49.50
The above frequncies were included this past year and are not in widespread us
e
yet but phones are now being sold with them if they say they have 25 channels.
The following freqs are the 1st 10 channels used in most phones

46.610  49.670
46.630  49.845
46.670  49.860
46.710  49.770
46.730  49.875
46.770  49.830
46.830  49.890
46.870  49.930
46.930  49.990
46.970  49.970

On a recent trip from Chicago to Arizona I asked the Stewardess if it was 
OK to use my 200XLT. She said She would have to check with the Captain 
and took the radio to show him. She came back and said it would be ok and 
gave me a note from the pilot with all the ATC freqs that they would be 
using.

So I suppose it's best to just ask...

I have no idea what the current US software version is I'm afraid.
I can't see a reason for any major changes if any. You could try calling 
Tandy National Parts/Repair centre though to see if they know or try 
calling in at your local RS and try the same key presses on a current 
stock/display one with a later date code than yours if they have any.

All the best

No there is nothing to can do to restore the Cell phone segment directly 
to the newer pro-2026. Great scanner though. If you really want cell phone 
then it is best to try to find an older used unit, or a antenna mounted 
mixer like those sold be ramsey.

I'm not sure if Bearcat deleted these "features" from the the current

I can't tell you anything about Bucks County but in Minnesota the MDT's
(Mobile Data Terminals) are DES encrypted so you can't decode the data
without the encryption key.  I'm told the data is encrypted because it
usually includes PRIVATE rather than public information about
individuals and data privacy laws require the extra steps.
I don't expect you'll have much luck copying it.

I haven't asked many questions but I understand the system uses
something similar to packet radio message handshaking.  In our area
the MDT's run on 800 MHz although I assume it could be used on any band.

Where the hell did you get your information! Barry, are those supposed 
to be the in or the out freq. That isn't even the right band!! Try 
46-49MHz. I don't have all 25 in-out freq. here but I can get them if 
needed...

Ken, 

I couldn't agree with you more! 

What is -most- frightening about all of this is the absolute lack of 
objectivity by -some- of the licensed hams - people who should know 
better!

While I cannot speak for Law Enforcement specifically, I can say that in 
MANY parts of this country, the shift to digital technology by Public 
Safety agencies has nothing to do with "encryption".

With an ever increasing number of users and a finite spectrum, agencies, 
especially those in crowded urban areas, are responding to the likelihood 
of a future -mandate- to narrow the the frequency space between users. 
Such a mandate will all but preclude the use of analog technology. In 
many cases, going digital now is in the best interest of the community 
and the taxpayer.

I speculate that "Keith" was just venting. I do imagine that he, like so 
many other dedicated Radio Amateurs, will rise to the occasion when 
needed.

If the jumper isn't there, I would be willing to bet your date code is newer 
than 4A4 (month - A - Year).  I just got several Pro-2026 units with date 
codes of 11A3 (Novemebr 1993) and L201 is present in the board, and the units 
are restorable.  The code in the CPU is changed in units manufactured after 
April 1994 (4A4), so it isn't there to restore.

It is!  However, it does *not* include police, security and military

HELP!  I am looking for a tracking transmitter circuit that I saw in an 
electronics magazine 1 or 2 years ago. It used two 555 IC chips and only 
a few other resistors and caps. Anyone remember this circuit PLEASE tell 
me where I can find it.

I wonder if there is more than one version 890xlt out there? I've had
mine over 18 months now and love it. It overloads easily with an
external antenna but works great with the stock whip. It performs
like a dual conversion scanner, but the bells and whistles make up 
for it. The auto search/store is a fantastic feature.

I live 20 miles north of Baltimore in the northern suburbs. Lots of
pager sites around. I have no complaints at all about this scanner.

I will assume that you are using an R-7000 Receiver.The CI-V Interface
Hardware is Just an Rs-232 to 5 Volt Level shifter. I built mine using A
232 to 5 receiver/Drivers from Jap-Shack. MC-1488 and MC-1489 HOWEVER
these chips need (3) regulated DC supplys +12, -12, and +5. 

Transmit Data and Receive Data are tied together at the 5 volts level side
and connected to the ICOM CI-V  You will need to get a copy of the
protocol. I got mine from ICOM (FREE), and I didn't have to buy the
interface. I couldn't use it anyway.

MAXIM has a number of 5 Volt only chips that are multi Channel
Receiver/Drivers.They are numbered from MAX-220 to MAX-249. This is what
ICOM uses in their device The ICOM Interface allows for the use of more
than one radio on a kind of "Serial Bus"( if you will.) The protocol
handles Data Crash detection and has a specific address for each radio
made R-7000 etc. I have just ONE radio and suspect that MOST PEOPLE
have only one radio. (don't forget  R-7000's are $1500 used.)

What the interface DOES NOT HAVE is a way to detect squelch break. I used
the RS-232 "BELL" line and the RECORDER REMOTE reed relay output. The reed
relay is fast enough. You will notice that at 10 Kbaud you can scan 15
channels/sec! Faster than you could get by tweeking the scan oscillator
before the microcontroller starts rejecting requests. You can now go about
50% faster with a PC and the interface but faster than this, the PLL can't
keep up. I wrote my code using Borland C but you could use anything. I
have begun to rewrite using VISUAL BASIC. I have one good trick up my
sleeve that allows me to scan real smart. But I could never have done it
without the interface. Just build this simple interface, write some C code
to change the memory channel and you're on your way!

 I have found that I am mostly interested in Military Air VHF/UHF
(118-149) Mhz / (225-400) Mhz and also INMARSAT comms around 1535 Mhz
using a 4.5 foot parabolic. The CI-V works great on these higher Freqs
because the interface generates RFI if you don't shield and bypass good.
There are other things you could do that the R-7000 doesn't. If you need
some motivation, think of this...you could scan around 825-845 and hear
Cell phones directly from the handset. Have your PC add 45Mhz and monitor
this! Store the Freq when the conversation ends and automatically search
some more! It wouldn't  take long to write since you won't need any user
interface code. This is one crude brute force way to get the local freqs
used. Of course I wouldn't know, since the Telecomunications Industry got
'our' congress to make this illegal! Obviously, It's cheaper to buy
congress than to design and build a secure phone system. Why didn't they
include the 49 Mhz phones also? (The reason is obvious). These laws are
only a short term solution and the telecommunications industry knows this
also. Anyway this is another subject.

Hope this answers your questions,
KramerSJ@AOL.COM

I would think there's a lot that someone could do about it.  Where does a 
state legislature get the authority to ban outright the possession of a 
radio receiver?  This is the kind of stuff that Hitler and Stalin did 50 
years ago!

Plus, as I mentioned in an earlier post, if the law does indeed extend to 
inoperable scanners that are stowed in a trunk or other luggage 
compartment, this would appear to violate the interstate commerce 
provisions of the US Constitution...at least when applied to non-
residents who are traveling through Kentucky enroute to somewhere else.

Steve,

So...how does one go about determining the date code?  Is it in an 
easilly accessable place (on the box would be great!), or do you have to 
open up the radio?

At the current blow-out price of $139, this is a steal.  I want to pick 
up one to have for a spare or maybe put in the girlfriend's car (so I can 
scan when I use her truck ), but I want to make sure I get a "capable" 
one.

-Drew in Charlotte-


(Of course, even if I DID have a cellular-capable scanner, I would never 
think of listening because that would violate the ECPA of 1986.  I just 
want the capability in case I ever drive to Canada.)

Not neccessarily.  If they say "no" (more often than not, I would guess), 
you'll wish you had just hidden it under the newspaper and connected the

It seems to me that current laws making it a felony to use a scanner 
during the commission of a crime are more than sufficent , and I would 
point out that there is no reason for any officer to fear having the 
average law abiding citizen hear these radios.  Unless, of course, the 
officers were doing something they shouldn't.  Remember the importance of 
the radio traffic in the Rodney King case?   

Also, I know of at least one department that has gone to a DES system 
that allows journalists to purchase receive only units to monitor 
everyday traffic.

   People, if you have access to the web...please, please use it. You'd 
be surprised at the information on there. Stop asking for handouts, look 
for it yourself and THEN come ask people. Use a search engine, I know 
there are TONS of places to find MODS,SPECS on differents radios etc. So 
please quit Piling up the newsgroups with mindless questions and look for 
it yourself. Have a good day

Does any one have any hints on cutting out the low battery circuit on the 
200XLT? I have the mod but it doesn't explain where the diode and stuff 
are. I've looked for the diode on the cpu board and the receiver board 
and I cannot find the diode numbered. I've seen a few others but not the 
one listed in the mod.

I have purchased an old Bearcat III (circa 1971). It is identical to
the one pictured on the cover of the 1996 Scanner Master catalog, left
side, sitting on the Bearcat IV.

I need a schematic for this radio, especially the pin assigments for
the power connector on the back panel. It has 4 flat prongs arranged
in a square pattern. The two on the left are positioned vertically,
while the two on the right are positioned horizontally, like this:

  |  -- 

  |  -- 

The label on the back says it will accept either 13.8v DC or 117v AC,
but I have no idea which set(s) of prongs accept either power source.

If you have a schematic for this radio and would be willing to either
FAX a copy of it to me, or mail a copy, please respond directly via
email.

Even if you do not have a schematic but know the pin assignments for
the power connector please email them.

Thanks,

   It's out now, but it's called " Police Call Plus and Beyond "
   They combined Police call and Beyond Police call into 1 book.
   It's about $12 - $15

Radio Shack has a great buy on the 2026 mobile scanner...  I would
like to know if this model can be unblocked for cell coverage?  The
older models were no problem.   Even though this scanner is cell
blocked, you can still pickup cell calls below and above the cell
frequencies - this is called mirroring - which I cannot explain what
that means but that is how they describe the scanners ability to
pickup cellular sites outside the normal frequency range.   
.
Anyone know of any mods?    email to tomg@ramlink.net

The scanner is on sale now for $139.00,  100 channel

        For a long time up until about 10 years ago, we would receive a
transmission identifying itself as "range control" issuing coordinates
on a semi-regular basis.  I dispatch Butler PD in northern New Jersey
which is a member of the 9 municipality North Jersey Police Radio
Association operating on 37.30 Mhz.  We all had a terrible time with
this skip transmission as it would cut out our own local units.
        This was until one of our local scanner fans went on a Canadian
vacation trip.  He began receiving "range conrol" loud and clear one day
along with other units transmitting on 37.30.  He found that it was from
Canadian military units conducting practice.  Once he came back to town
and told us this information, one of our chief's contacted the Canadian
military about our problem.  They very politely apologized and said they
would change their base station frequency.
        We haven't heard "range control" since then.

Fire, EMS, Airlines & ATC, Cordless phones, cellular Phones, 900mhz business

Avionics have improved considerably over the years. If you can take a 
scanner or hand held transceiver/VOR receiver with you on a 210 (Cessna 210)
and not have any problems..I don't see how it could cause problems on a a 
jet aircraft that is many times the size of the Cessna. Anyway in the 
Cessna or in a GA (General Aviation Aircraft), the scanner is much closer 
to the avionics and instrumentation than it is in any jet aircraft.
  No I don't monitor anyting that's in the AM 550-1600k or FM (88.0-136m)
while in an aircraft.
  The scanner does make it easier to monitor approach..rather than 
dialing in the frequency, I simply put the frequencies in sucessive 
channels.I can easily monitor The tower and approach by using the plane 
radios as well as the scanner. The scanner I have is very sensitive, It 
sometimes even picks up computer processor noise, I have tested the 
scanner by operating it in close proximity to another radio tuned to 
wither VOR, ILS or ATC frequencies..no problem at all!

It is the "Cadilac" of scanner radios. It is not even referred to as a 
"scanner", rather a communications receiver. Bar none, it's the best you 
can buy. I heard there's even a mod to restore the lost 800-900 Mhz band 
omitted at the factory. I would love to own one one day, but our budget 
doesn't allow for it. Average cost is $1800.00, though I think Grove is 
selling for $1300.00.

A friend has the 3000 and loves it. Very good performer, uses computer 
control & works quite well. He got his prior to the 800 Mhz ban, so I'm 
unaware of any restoration mod's for the blocked units. He uses a RS 
modified discone antenna on a 65' tower. (Modified: mobile CB antenna 
mounted vertically for improved coverage below 120 Mhz.) APR is just now 
releasing the AR5000 desktop comm receiver, most say, "Call for price", 
but I believe the price is around $2000.00. "Supposed" to outperform 
everything. I, however, can't see it topping, say, an Icom 7100.

When programming, do you press program 1st? Do you get the keypad "beep" 
whenever you press any key? Have you tried any of the search modes? Does 
it respond at all?  If you're doing everything "by the book", and still 
no response, then I'd return it for an exchange. I have a 2026 & never

You have 1 of the new "non-restorable" models. Cell is programmed out in 
the microprocessor. The only plus with the new model is the non-volitile 
memory chip; won't loose mem when power is disconnected. Also, the 
scanner only uses double-up conversion scheme, meaning there's lots of 
"image" reception from the 800Mhz band into the 900Mhz band. (Bleedover). 
You may be able to locate an older modifiable model somewhere, sometime. 
I've seen some in pawn shops. Normally, the date code is printed on a tag 
on the rear of the scanner. Good luck & have fun.

  I've been think of buying a 9000 but wonder if it's advantages make it 
worth paying about $80 above the price of an 890.
   I know there's more bells & whistles but how do they compare performance 
wise? Are sensitivity ect. similar, and is there anything interesting above
956.000?
   While I'm piling on the questions,are there any good scanner product 
review sites?

      Thanks for any input you can provide?

I have seen a mod floating around in the usual places that talks about
adding 800mhz capability to the PRO-2021 scanner.  I've seen conflicting
information that says this mod is useless because the scanner has no
circuitry built in for receiving these frequencies.  However, the mod
talks about enabling the RF front end for these frequencies and seems
to imply that it works.

Basically, the mod states to remove diode D44 and connect a 10K ohm
resister between pin 13 of IC8 and the RF end of R113.  (In my poking
around the other day, it looks like it should really be a 10 ohm
resister based on what is already there).

Has anyone successfully applied this mod to a PRO-2021 scanner and had
it work?  This has been a great scanner for me for years and if I can
add 800mhz capability to it, I'd be very happy.

Bruce

I use the Max-232. It has the guts for the rx,tx and squelch detect lines. I 
steal its power from the serial line. Works great!

   I bought one and it seems to work OK (GRE seems to make quality
equipment). I later got some modifiable scanners, so I don't use it
any more. Being worth the money depends on how much you want to
receive those fequencies. I think the GRE would be a better choise
than buying the cheaper Ramsey kit.   Si B.

What have you got?  Is it just the ham database or is it the license DB 
for all radio users ie: Public safety, Commercial, public works, etc.

I downloaded a partial copy of one of those TAFL files to see what they 
were, and it contains ALL the radio licenses for Canada.  Commercial, 
Public Works, etc.  Exactly the sort of DB you'd want if you were a 
scanner listener :>.  This file contains most (all) data for the licensee: 
Freq, Organization name and address, Transmitter location, power, antenna 
pattern, etc. as well as the International co-ordination coding and other 
assorted beaurocratic flotsam.

Put this DB on a CD and write a decent search engine for it and you'd 
have a good disc.

Yeah I did find the RAC page.  Good stuff, but I wish they had a band

Which airline(s) was that?  Which is, after all, the original

Does anyone have information about the Radio Shack PRO-39 Hyperscan
Scanner.  Wiring diagrams, modifications, tips, etc.  What is the
scanner capable of doing?  I bought the scanner with a 800 Mhz mod
already done, I am not sure what the mod was.  Any help is
appreciated.

Thanks
