I don't know if RS has ever re-used an old model number for such a different product but they have now. I'm not sure if Uniden makes the new 26. BTW: The Pro 26 is available in the UK with no cell block. There are a few places that sells replacement CPU's for the new 26 that allows for full coverage with no cell block. If unsoldering a CPU bothers you then you can buy a replacement board with the CPU already installed.

Generally, wherever Uniden > >The Bearcat and the Uniden are exactly the same, same production line, same >specs. Only difference is the name on the case. The Radio Shack PRO-26 is manufactured by Uniden. But it is a very different radio than the Uniden BC3000XLT in features, frequency coverage, circuitry, and performance. From my "Buying a Used Scanner FAQ:" [ ... ] 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 and "The Radio Shack PRO-26 vs. Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, August 1995. [ ... ] PRO-26: 1985 vintage. 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. IFs are 380.7/254.4, 58.075, and 5.5/0.455 MHz. Audio suffers from small speaker. See "The Radio Shack PRO-26 vs. Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, August 1995.

While driving through the Bay Area, I listen to Metro Traffic on 450.0625. they serve all the local broadcasters around here. You only get pertinent traffic info and they do all the monitoring for you. They're pretty on top of it. If you want a great reference for local government radio frequencies in this area get yourself a copy of "Government Radio Systems" by Bob Kelty. He is the frequency god and writes the book for the agencies themselves to use as reference.

I have the local frequencies programmed into the PRIVATE section, and use the state to state feature when I travel. The alert function only works when troopers use their handhelds to key their mobile radios (mobile extenders). In places like SC, the troopers are on 800 mhz, and therefore the alerts are useless. Otherwise, the unit is a gem. It has a lockout for data transmissions, etc, etc. For antennas, multiple options. I use the secondary antenna that used to be used with my factory radio for "multipath". You can also get splitters to use your car radio antenna with the unit. Those are available from Grove Enterprises. I believe that unit came with an antenna with coax and suction cups for the windshield. Not a "stealth" installation. I would recommend the converter or a dedicated scanner antenna. '73 de JIM N2ZZ From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 06 14:01:37 1996 From: "C.

I've heard that the Yupiteru models provide better RF performance, but I have no experience with their scanners. I have the AOR 8K, and if properly equipped (eg. an outdoor antenna, preamp/tuner and possibly a filter), you should do rather well--at least I have. With the parameters you've defined, I think you may want to invest in a decent comm's receiver/table-top SW. Some are small enough to be portable (Lowe HF 150), and can be upgraded to receive the marine bands. Check any SW/scanner catalogues you may have around the house. Good luck.

Actually, I think you have it backwards... The higher the frequency, the greater the PENETRATION... this means that 900Mhz waves are FAR more capable of busting through the walls (wood, metal, concrete or otherwise) than the 46Mhz waves. This is the main reason 900Mhz phones are -so- much better. I might be mistaken (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), but that is my understanding of it.

I am familiar with the Motorola systems, but there are no Hi Joe, A local police dept here is planning to go to edacs digital. The Metro Toronto ambulance is using an ericsson system (not sure if its technically edacs or not). That system is analogue and is "moniterable" however, at the end of each transmission after the repeater hang time, there is a burst of tones (called the "Ge jingle" since it sounds like the "we bring good things to life jingle used in GE commercials) which locks up your scanner for 2-3 secconds (while the conversation is continuing on another frequency!). However, with the edacs digital, the audio is all digitized and cannot be monitored with a conventional scanner. -------------------------------------------- The Canadian Broadcast Directory and Broadcast Engineering Page: http://www.interlog.com/~jmckay Southern Ontario Storm Chasers/Canwarn Page: http://www.interlog.com/~jmckay/chaser.htm -------------------------------------------- From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 06 14:01:57 1996 From: NewsRadio Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: **** RE: TORNADOES AND SEVERE WEATHER **** Date: Tue, 02 Jul 1996 09:18:47 -0700 Message-ID: <31D94BE7.2D5A@interlog.com> References: WSNP/WF wrote: > > RE: tornadoes - lightning - hurricanes - severe storms, etc. > > THE NEW BOOK "STORM CHASER - In pursuit of untamed skies" Now kids; don't try this at home......just spend the money on the video! -------------------------------------------- The Canadian Broadcast Directory and Broadcast Engineering Page: http://www.interlog.com/~jmckay Southern Ontario Storm Chasers/Canwarn Page: http://www.interlog.com/~jmckay/chaser.htm -------------------------------------------- From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 06 14:01:57 1996 From: dunlapian@aol.com (Dunlapian) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: E-Z Pass Freqs Date: 2 Jul 1996 09:35:25 -0400 Message-ID: <4rb8it$msq@newsbf02.news.aol.com> Reply-To: dunlapian@aol.com (Dunlapian) Anybody know the freqs used in the E-Z Pass Toll System on the New York City bridges?

He was met with much skepticism. I don't doubt him, because he has already written programs that decode cellular data, a program called SnarfWare which is available from my web page (http://www.l0pht.com/radiophone). Also on my web page is an explanation of how to monitor and follow calls with a regular motorola cellular phone. There is no reason this method couldn't be adapted to a hardware device that would interface with a scanner to do the same thing. All it would take is decoding the cellular data stream with a modem chip (already available for use in cellular phones), a small microcontroller programmed to interpret this data and work with some interface hardware to tell the scanner what to do. I believe you may need a WBFM scanner to use this, and of course have a scanner that can be controlled by computer.

Shoot, I thought this was going to be another bash Rat Shack thread (just joking)! When I was deciding on a freq counter, I compared the RS model to the Opto 3300.

A discone is a frequency independent antenna. ie the change in impedance is constant over a very wide band. It is a derivative of a biconical antenna. They are widely used by the Defence depts. For Monitoring large chunks of spectrum. There are problems associated with the use of discones with scanning rec 1) They are very broad band and being so make the scanner sensitive to intermodulation blocking caused by mixing in the front end due to signal overload. They should never be used with transmitters. Narrow band dedicated antennas are less likely to be affected by intermodulation.

I posted a note here a few days ago seeking input on the pros and cons of getting my daughter and her next-door-neighbor friend either cb or 49 mhz two-way radios. I've had nearly two dozen replies, all very thoughtful. I had many who expressed reservations about children having CB radios from the perspective of others they would hear. I suspect that is unfortunate but true. CB language is sometimes pretty bad. On a purely scientific note (and also because it was clearly the cheapest option!) we tried a set of those "Space Patrol" quality walkie-talkies. These had morse code and a beep button on the front. They were WOEFULLY inadequate. They did work, but they were only good for about the distance two people could easily talk *without* radios! Too bad. Nice try. I did stop at a radio shack and tested their 49mhz radios, and I suspect something of that quality would be far better for them. (These were the entry-level one channel "adult" models.) I may just opt for buying the radios new, as they are not terribly expensive, but I thought I'd post here first just to see if anybody has anything they think might do the trick. I've also told the girls they should put up some money of their own if they want walkie-talkies...and maybe they'll take better care of them. (But their budgets are limited! ;-) ) Again, thanks to all who replied to my earlier post.

There are 2 mods I know of, one is to turn the unit off, hold down the 2-9-Lockout keys and turn the unit back on, this erases any saved freq's and loads 25 test freq's, one in the middle of the "locked out" cell band and another in the 88 MHz range. There is also a mod to shorten the "squelch tail" by adding a resistor to the circuitry, (I haven't done this as it hasn't been a problem) The "keyboard" mod worked on my unit with a date-code of 11A4 which equates to November 1994. If you contact Telecode, please share what you find out from them. The keyboard beep annoys my wife greatly, I'd like to disable mine too, (the beep, not my wife!) Good Luck Randy.

Each radio transmission can end up on a different frequency and this is hard to track. I wished they had the old system. It was nice to be able to follow an entire event on one frequency.

We reached a rather unorthodox and unexpected solution. The girls got a wireless intercom system, the type that plugs into the wall and transmits through the wiring. It is not mobile, but the quality is excellent, it has the call function, etc. We picked these up as a test, actually. They were less expensive than the RS 49 mhz radios, too. I expected they would work in my house, and they did, that was the first test. Then wer tried from the house to the garage...still good. I was really surprised when they worked just as well from house-to-house. Perhaps it is obvious that I know nothing about electrical wiring. Maybe both houses run off the same transformer or something. I haven't a clue why they work, but they do. Very nicely, actually. No background noise, can leave them on all the time, no batteries to go dead, etc. They seem quite pleased.

Channel 7 may get used so rarely that it's difficult to find with a frequency search. 2) Often the police use frequencies assigned to the city for non-police transmissions in the evening and at night. (They might use a street department freq as an occasional, or special operations, channel because the street department goes home at 5pm, right when the police radio traffic is picking up.) In the books look for frequencies with the radio codes GA, GF, GP, PF, PH, PL, PM, OP, PP, PS, QM, YA, YF and YP in your area. 3) It could be that they really are using some out of band or low power frequencies. -Carl From amsoft@epix.net Thu Jul 11 17:07:29 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-5.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-9.sprintlink.net!guitar.sound.net!imci5!imci4!newsfeed.internetmci.com!hunter.premier.net!netnews.worldnet.att.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!spstimes.sps.mot.com!newsdist.sps.mot.com!risc.sps.mot.com!ibmoto.com!news From: George Joos Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: (no subject) Date: Wed, 10 Jul 1996 12:13:55 -0500 Organization: IBM/Motorola Somerset PowerPC Design Center Lines: 34 Message-ID: <31E3E4D3.41C6@ibmoto.com> References: <4rrt1r$8vm@itsmail1.hamilton.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: bsa.ibmoto.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (X11; I; AIX 2) One possiblity is they are using a state-wide car-to-car frequency as Channel 7. In my area most locals have access to a county-wide frequency (to contact other locals and the sheriff) and a state-wide frequency (to contact state units and provide additional car-to-car). On the ohter hand that channel could be just bypassing the repeater, transmitting on the repeater out frequency. My old hometown PD used to do that. You would have to be fairly close (maybe line of sight) to pick them up.

Is it possible to put up two antennas, e.g. one discone and one directional antenna on a rotor and then feed both signals into the same cable and into the radio at the same time, thus having both omnidirectional coverage from the discone and a better directional signal from the direction the rotor is pointing ?

The signals from the 2 antennas could be easily combined, but depending on the relative phasing of the signals one would get either constructive or destructive interference, meaning that the signals could either reinforce each other or cancel each other. The phasing would depend on the spacing of the 2 antennas, the length of the feedlines, and the frequency of the signal in question. Of course, if the 2 antennas are picking up different signals or the signal strenghts from the 2 antennas are very different then this problem would be avoided. The other problem is that the combining process is never lossless so the signal strength from both antennas will be somewhat degraded. Some commercial communications systems do something similiar to what you suggest (it is called diversity reception). The way it is normally done is to have 2 antennas feeding 2 different reciever front ends. The output of the receivers is constantly being sampled and the one that has the best signal is used. peterb@inet.uni-c.dk (Peter Bjoern) wrote: >Hi, >I have a question for the antenna experts ... >Is it possible to put up two antennas, e.g. one discone and >one directional antenna on a rotor and then feed both signals >into the same cable and into the radio at the same time, thus >having both omnidirectional coverage from the discone and a >better directional signal from the direction the rotor is >pointing ? >We are of course talking receive-only, no transmissions. >Regards >Peter Opinions Expresses Are Entirely My Own.

This includes arrival, departure, tower, ground control, etc. Most of the communications will be on these freqs. The non-military distress frequency is 121.5. There is also a general plane to plane "CB" frequency, but I don't remember what it is. The major carriers also have their own frequencies for plane to plane and plane to ground. These are outside of the air band, ususally in the 450 MHz range, and are more to do with schedules, supplies, and maintenance than flying. As you listen to the departure frequencies you can write down the regional air traffic control frequencies as they are given to the planes ("TWA271 contact Kansas City Center on 126.985"). You may not be able to hear the controller, but you'll pick up any planes in your area that are transmitting on those freqs. -Carl From amsoft@epix.net Thu Jul 11 17:07:47 1996 Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Comparison of BC220xlt and SC150B and PRO-??

The sportcat is somewhat limited in the ability to search between a range of frequencies. For instance, lets say, you know that a freq you want to hunt for is between 150-154mHz. With the sportcat your forced to search between 148-174mHz, which can be time consuming considering the amount of limited talk time most people have on air. With the 220, you can search between what ever freqs *you* punch in, saving a great deal of frustration. When I first got my sportcat, I failed to research this and have been disappointed ever since. Other than this, the two should be identical in performance. Good luck. Sorry, I cannot comment on any PRO-xx series.

If they "sucked" they wouldn't sell so many of them. I am a RS fanatic, but I realize that Uniden makes great scanners, too. In fact, some RS scanners are made by Uniden. (Not the Pro-200X series.) I am not intimately familiar with many Unidens, with the exception of the BC9000. We have one at work and it is great. To say that there is nothing RS scanners can do that a BC cannot is incorrect. How about computer interfacing? Luckily for Pro-200X owners, GRE (the manufacturer) decided to have more discrete components instead of one great big honker IC that has all the functions in it. With the discrete components you can dive in between and tap into circuitry that is untouchable on the Unidens. There is more than computer interfacing, too. Things like signal strength meters can be added to RS radios, and I have not heard of that being so with Uniden units. Last, the Pro-200X series in a tried and true batch of radios that have been ridden hard, put away wet, and come back for more. (Not saying the Unidens are slouches...just that the RS Pro-200X units have been around for over 10 years with fantastic track records.) Bottom line, if you want to hack and/or have computer control, get a RS unit. If that is not your intent, get the one with the best reviews, the best price, and the features you need. I am not nearly as familiar with Radio Shack's newer Pro-2035 and Pro-2042 units. Can't tell you much about them other than they are made by GRE just like the 2006 was.

It is not a transmitting antenna. > > Hope this helps! > > '73 de Jim N2ZZ Hi Drew & Jim, I have the Diamond DJ-130 discone (with the vertical element above the radials) which is the same as the Icom, but without the "N" connector. It uses a SO-239 (which mates with a PL-259 VHF connector). Mine is fed with Cushcraft Ultralink very low loss coax. I also have a 25 year old commercial 3db gain ground plane cut for 2meters (144-146 MHz) which is fed with RG58U or A/U (I don't remember). Both antennas are up about 50 feet, separated by about 25 feet. At low frequencies (6m or 50MHz), the old ground plane outperforms the discone considerably. Some frequencies can't even be heard with the discone (DSC), and are clear with the ground plane (GP). Others are fair on the DSC, and loud on the GP. Occassionally, the REVERSE is true. I'm using a RS PRO-2006 scanner, with the attenuation set at 0db. I would have expected that even though the DSC is not all that great at low frequencies, the GP, cut to resonate at 3 times higher than the low freq's would not perform any better than the DSC, but it's not true. Any one know why? At UHF (800MHz to 1.3GHz), it's no contest as one would expect. The DSC wins hands down. Signals are not even present on the GP, but at those freq's, you wouldn't expect them.

I just happen to have several variations of FCC databases on CD-Rom, and would be glad to look them up for you. Or...waltz up to one of them and ask to see the radio, or perhaps they know already and will tell you what they are. Or...ask them who dispatches them. Often times it is the Highway Patrol/Sheriff/City agency that they serve in. (Worst thing that will happen is they well tell you to take a flying leap.) Or...ask for a tour of their dispatch center and poke around until you find the FCC license that SHOULD be hanging on the wall at the control point, which is the dispatch center, generally speaking. (The "flying leap" scenario may apply here, too.) Or...hit the local Radio Shack type store and see if they have a list.

The is a ham antenna called the "Ventenna" that will go right on the vent on your roof. It is paintable so that it will match your current pipe. It is available in a dual band version for 144/450 mhz, and that should be more than sutable for most scanning situations. If you don't want a visible antenna on your car, you can get a signal splitter from grove enterprises to use your current car antenna and share it between your car radio and scanner. Performance will be compromised, though. If you dont have a cell phone, there is a "cellular look-alike" antenna that can be mounted on your back windshield as well.

Thanks bill I spent the Fourth of July week-end in Philly so I now have some radio related questions. 1. On top of the Franklin Institute there is one (very) large beam (Yagi?) antenna and at least one long wire. Does anyone know what they are used for? Possibly a Ham Radio Club? 2. Are there any marine frequencies that are particulary busy in the Philly area? I notices quite a bit of river traffic including the Coast Guard and a boat labled something like "Marine Patrol" (guys in brown uniforms). 3. Does any know if and what the "Moran" (tug boats) *company* frequency is or if infact they have one dedicated for their own use? 4. I had several frequencies programmed from the old "Monitor America" book. The "Central/453.150 and "South/453.650" freqs seemed to be just that. I also had "Traffic/453.250" (seemed to be mainly traffic - but - "Detectives/453.400, Emergency/ 453.550, Command/453.600 and Adminstration/453.750" most of the time *all* seemed to have the same info/traffic on them. Are they really suppose to be broken up this way or is their actual use something different than is listed in the book? BY-THE-WAY My provider (EPIX) consistantly receives (or looses) about fifty percent of the Usenet traffic so if possible I would also appreciate any email replies.

It works fine off batteries. The power supply is definitely still good. When its plugged into the charging jack, it still charges the batteries. I took the radio apart and tried to trace down the problem with no luck. Its getting power to the board but I don't know where the problem is. I also tried swapping power supplies with another radio. That radio worked fine with my power supply and my radio still did nothing. I posted this problem back when it first happened but received no miracle advice. Well, today I was messing around with it again and discovered that every time I turn on the unit with no power connected and no batteries installed, then plug in the power supply while the radio is turned on, it powers up and scans but will not receive anything at all. Turn it off then back on again with power connected and "nothing". Unplug the power supply then plug it back in and it comes on and scans but will not receive anything. It works fine off batteries alone. Anybody experience a similar problem or have any ideas on how to fix it now that I have a little more to go on?

I have a realistic 400 channel scanner. It covers 25-520 and 760-1300 Mhz. Here in the uk, the 520-760Mhz gap is in the middle of the television band, so the only problam is that I just have trouble getting all of the TV channels. No big deal. The functions are pretty basic eg. AM NFM and WFM, with no sideband and no variable bandwidth, also no way of fine tuning the frequencies. This can cause problems listening to the CB radio band. In the UK CB radio used FM mod. and the NFM on my Realistic is a bit to wide and tends to get crosschannel interferance. On the good side it has a good sensitive receiver, I think it is pretty good for a mid level scanner. Richard.

I am sure that most of us who subscribe to one of the above groups also subscribe to the other one as well. Daily, I see a posting from subscribers echoed in both groups. Replies and comments are echoed to both groups. Indeed I have answered the same question asked in both groups..... It seems do be duplicating the work and efforts of EVERY ONE concerned, downloading duplicated postings, and then having to answer them twice - (3 times if you include alt.radio.scanner.uk as well!) Increases the costs for us poor scanneroos who have a dial-up account and have to pay the phone bill for time used! Q1) Is there a need (or valid reason) to have the two groups separately? Q2) Is it possible to amalgamate the two groups?? If the answer is No & Yes respectively, then:- Q3) How do we go about amalgamation? Q4) Who actually does it? ----------------------------- Any one else got thoughts on the subject? Can it be done? Do we ALL want it done? Some service providers may not give subscribers access to both groups - come to that, I only know of the 3 scanner groups that I have mentioned - are there any others that I should also look at? (This posting IS cross posted to the 3 groups mentioned above, but for the sake of sanity (who's?) & bandwidth & phone bills, I suggest comments only to alt.radio.scanner.)

You can of course come close by knowing the Lat/Lon at which you recieved the signal, thus if you are mobile and combine signal strength you might conclude things. Also with a database like the PERCON cd rom you can find the Lat/Lon of many transmitters and try to make a match with your Lat/Lon and the general coverage areas provided by the frequency in question. To get even more high tech you could DF (direction find the signal) thus eliminating many other transmitters, or with two triangulate...but this is not an ordinary scanner setup. Since you mentioned Optoelectronics...you might notice their most recent product which is a reciever, which appears to have Lat/Lon gps built in so it can record in it's memory the Lat/Lon at which you received the signal...I also beleive that this receiver is not like a scanner in that you have to be fairly close < 1 mile for the unit to pick out the strengh of this signal above all others, so if you were wondering around at an airshow or something you might pick up local activity, or if you are driving and you hear something it will log where you heard it.

I have to compliment everyone who has worked to set this up. During the last month of so, whenever threatening weather has popped up, I find that I am tuning my scanner to the superlink freq to find out what is happening and to get the very latest in weather info. What a network the state's hams have set up. I was always familiar with the weather watching hams but am really impressed with the statewide organization that happens on a moments notice. Last night (Wed 7/10) as threatening weather approached my area (Minot), I turned on the scanner just in time to hear someone bring up the link and ask for info on what things looked like here. Immediatly I heard 3 or more hams respond and set themselves up to observe the weather patterns and report what was happening. This was very impressive to me!!! My compliments to Bill, WB8BZH and others (I am sorry that I cannot name them but I was not writing down names, etc of those that came up) that quickly responded.

Trunking makes it difficult...not impossible. If secrecy were that impprtant, they would go to DVP on their existing non-trunked system. It is much cheaper and fool proof. I think that sometimes we scanner enthusiasts over estimate our "importance" in the entire scheme of things. I am a long time scanner nut AND a police dispatcher since 1982, so I have experience from both ends of the argument.

A thief can get your charge card number or clean out your house when you tell a friend your going out of town. I may forget to get on corded phone. The average joe will not go to the trouble of building or buying a descrambler. I just bought a Motorola 2025 with secure clear. It's hte next step up from the 200. It's on sale at office depot for $74.99 reg. $119.99 It's not a 900Mhz phone so the battery should last. As a scanner hobbiest I don't want to hear the distorted audio it makes.

In some cities, that may also mean channel 7 (or whatever channel they use) on the CB radio. Some officers in Kansas City MO and Kansas City KS used to/still do use CB radios on an unofficial basis. Andy Another thing to look for is talk-around on repeater channels. That means that the units can switch to the repeater frequency and have low power car to car traffic and still hear dispatch.

I have a chance to pick up a Bearcat BC101 for $50. I'm looking for a unit which will cover the FM Ham bands for casual scanning (i.e., 29 MHz, 54 MHz, 144 MHz, 220 MHz, & 440 MHz). Does this unit have decent sensitivity across the whole 29-512 MHz spectrum, or will I be disappointed? I have an Icom IC2SRA which claims 29-900 MHz coverage, but it really has no ears below the FM broadcast band. I could also obtain a BC100XLT for $70. Would this radio be worth the extra $20 investment? -- Thanks!

Doug, I extend myself here, gaining NO personal profit, to make fellow hobbyists aware of what I feel is a good deal, and out of no where, you stick your nose in and make a serious accusation impuning my integrity. You have some set, my friend. First, I'm sure we'd all like a defination of "d4y times" However, I THINK I remember you, but not exactly sure of what it is you're complaining about. The lack of THAT information gives the impression to others here that I am some kind of scam artist, and that I in some way accepted money, etc., and did not ship a radio. I've been involved in literally hundreds of radio deals here and on the Compuserve HAMNET. Although many might not agree with my radio "politics", I've NEVER, EVER been dishonest, and 99.9% of all those folks have more then happy with the deals I made for them. I can provide a substantial list of parties from BOTH venues vouching for my credibility. This deal on the AR 2700 is for real, I assure you, and the radios will be made available. Now, if there is some problem that you had or APPARENTLY STILL HAVE with me, I would've appreciated the courtesy of discussing this privatley in E-Mail and being afforded an opportunity to right a wrong, if there was in fact a wrong committed against you. You, sir, are apparently NOT courteous, and have dragged this publicly for all to see, and for me to be damaged. This is the shame, and major downside of cyber - relations. I would be happy to discuss this mater with you, either via E-Mail, where it SHOULD be, or here, should you persist. Be forewarned, however, that if you wish to debate me here publicly, you will suffer the wrath of my angst, lest you know of what you speak. dconti@carroll.com Compuserve - 71242,1774 Amateur Radio - N2TYB Ridgefield, New Jersey From amsoft@epix.net Mon Jul 15 17:07:51 1996 Newsgroups: alt.radio.scanner,rec.radio.scanner,rec.radio.swap Path: news2.epix.net!uunet!inXS.uu.net!news2.new-york.net!not-for-mail From: dconti@carroll.com (Daniel M.

O.K.! Now I remember you, Doug, and Iam quite perplexed as I thought I did the right thing by you. Please excuse the initial non-recognition of your name, but as I said, I do get involved in buying and selling alot here and on the HAMNET. The reason for this is that many of my radio friends do not have computer access, so I buy and sell equipment for them as well. The SONY 2010 you mentioned was just such an item I was selling as a favor for a friend. Upon returning from my trip, and getting the radi from my friend, I noticed that the radio was defective..problems with the AC input jack, which I understand is a common problem with these radios. I did not and would not attach my name to the sale of a radio that I knew was defective. My friend did not want to have it repaired, so the deal was off. I E-Mailed you a message as to the above, and never received a reply, assuming that you got the messsage. I di dnot receive further inquiries from you, so I figured the point was moot. It is obvious, then that you did try to rectify this via E-Mail, but for some reason, we could not connect. For that I apologize publicly. However, I would also ask that you acknowledge as well the fact that NO money changed hands, nor were you ever defrauded in any way. Please be assured that the 2010 did not go to a higher bidder as you suggest. As a matter of fact, my friend still has it, and the AC plug is still defective! It is unfortunate that we had to air our laundry here and bore everyone else to death, but I'm glad to see we may be working toward mending fences. To that end, I would offer to assist you in obtaining another similar radio, should you still desire, or to help you in any other way. Hopefully we can part as friends. dconti@carroll.com Compuserve - 71242,1774 Amateur Radio - N2TYB Ridgefield, New Jersey From amsoft@epix.net Mon Jul 15 17:07:52 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!news.fibr.net!nntp.primenet.com!news.asu.edu!ennfs.eas.asu.edu!cs.utexas.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!uwm.edu!lll-winken.llnl.gov!nntp.coast.net!news.kei.com!newsfeed.internetmci.com!aanews.merit.net!server3.mich.com!server2.mich.com!eddy From: eddy@mich.com (Eddy J.

Think of it from the seller's point of view... You have to start somewhere and then negotiate from there. You also have to consider who will pick up shipping. If you've sold a scanner before, then you know that you'll have to pay at least $10 for UPS. You're wrong in saying that "prices are always way inflated." In fact, they are quite consistent for any given model. People here have a pretty good idea of what the market will bear...Occasionally, someone comes along and asks a price out of the norm, but that doesn't happen all that often. In this case, $200 is high. I bet that if the seller actually sells the scanner, it will be to someone who has offered less. In any case, $175 is the going rate for a used BC200XLT.

How often does the data channel change frequency? What services other than police, fire, ems uses the trunked system? Does anyone have a talkgroup listing for the system?

Check www.crl.com/~vhealy/ar8000/homepage.html I found one by Pete Folberth (sp) that has a couple of transistors and diodes and 4 resistors. Looks as if it could be built into a DB connector hood but I'm going to build mine in a breakout box. I ordered the SAC8000 from AES for $29.95. It has the AR8000 connecotr on one end and a DB-25 on the other. That takes care of the connector problem and it's much cheaper than the EEB or OPTO interfaces. Peter also has 4 basic programs that are short and easy. One to download, one to convert AR file to ascii, one to convert ascii to AR file and one to upload. If I could figure out how to attach his file I'd send it to you. good luck From amsoft@epix.net Mon Jul 15 17:08:04 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!hunter.premier.net!uunet!inXS.uu.net!ott.istar!istar.net!van.istar!west.istar!uniserve!oronet!news.acsu.buffalo.edu!news.drenet.dnd.ca!crc-news.doc.ca!nott!cunews!freenet-news.carleton.ca!FreeNet.Carleton.CA!ad607 From: ad607@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Darrell A.

We have one here in Wichita that has about a dozen radios (uniden pro510xl's and equivalant midland types), all in near mint condition, for $24.95 each. They even have a power supply for you to use and they have no problem if you want to bring in your own meter and dummy load for testing!

In the county I live in, it's not uncommon at all for citizens to call in and tip off the County Sheriff's office when they're hunting for someone pretty hard. I don't know how many times I've been listening when some anonymous caller gives a tip where to find what they're lookin' for. In short, you can' t fart in this county without some sharp eyed (or nosed in this case) grandma callin' the Sheriff.

Maybe you are overlooking the smaller "4" in front of the 44 and 45? Maybe this is the Europe version? (sometimes they differ) The mods include a US band plan setting, a Europe band plan, and a commercial mod that puts the radio into a semi-commercial type operation where the display displays "CH 1" etc. and the radio will tune some very wide range, but receives the ham band and a little out of it, but not far without retuning. Check over the radio, make sure that it is a 73R, and that the display is working. These models have a thing about the displays not displaying all digits. So try pressing on the display to see if that helps. If not, let me know. I will try and help you out. J.W.

Over 400 threads and probably around 1500 messages! I'm glad to be caught up. I wanted to thank everyone for their helpful responses in my previous posts, I've learned a ton! What I'm looking for is an antenna that best meets my purpose. I use a handheld multiband transceiver primarily in a handheld fashion, that is, out and about, NOT in a car, and not as a base station. I know I am looking for a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. If this isn't possibl e, perhaps you could suggest antennas that are optimized to work in the airband and the 800mhz band. I am currently using a Comet SH-55, which is a 16" whip. I want to receive the airband(approx 108 to 135mhz), VHF-HIGH, UHF, and 800mhz public safety freqs. The comet is a dualband antenna, which means my VHF-HIGH and UHF bands are covered, and I'm assuming it does a good job. Are there other dual band antennas suitable for handheld applications that have more gain than the Comet? Please provide brand names, model numbers, and listed db gain. I've heard the Austin Condors are good as well as the diamond series. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'd consider purchasing one of those if there would be a noticeabl e difference. Has anyone ever seen a review of 'portable' (ie not mobile or base station) antennas? Now, if my comet is one of the best(a local ham swears by his), my next logical conclusion would be a scanner preamp. From what I've heard, these can increase the gain considerable. I've never even *heard* intermod on my transceiver, so I don't think there would be a problem there. Any idea on how effective these are for bringing in distant signals? Can someone suggest a quality brand name and model number, as well as approximate cost? I believe Radio Shack sells one, but I'm very wary about purchasing items from them. Portability is an issue, but even if I was constrained to using it at home, or in a car, would be fine. My last concern is a mobile/car antenna. I'm thinking a 1/4 wave would probably be good. A dual band 1/4 wave antenna designed for dual band use should probably be effective in both 2m and 70cm, but also for airband, seeing that it is so close to 2m. Would this antenna be totally ineffective for 800mhz? Can someone suggest the brand name/model of a quality dual band 1/4 wave antenna designed for mobile use? I know this is a stupid question, but I'm assuming that if this antenna is totally ineffective for 800mhz, would a cellular antenna be the most effective for that range? I appreciate your taking the time to read this, and any responses will be helpful. Thanks.

Some options, in ascending order of expense and difficulty: - An extendable whip with attached BNC - A whip intended for auto applications, cabled, may need to change connector. can be remotely mounted. -An external, mounted antenna with full-blown mast, cableing, etc. In any event: Higher is better Use the antenna length to match the frequencies are most interested in.

Or did I >damage my baby forever and it can't be fixed....Any ideas? WELL A FEW THINGS COME TO MIND> FIRST OF ALLO< AND THIS IS ONLY SPECULATION SINCE I have no idea what kind of scanner it is, it is possible that you may have fried a componant in the scanner it'sself but it would be something between the scanner and the external supply. The power from the battery pack may come into the radio via a different path. If it is a supply that is designed to charge the battery pack while the scanner is running then it might be a diode in the scanner which would be used to controll the charging current. If the power cord plugs into the battery pack, then it's probably something in the pack it'sself. Like I said before, this is all speculation, but I don't think the scanner it'sself is ruined. You might try the new battery pack approach first.

In my opinion the absolutely best handheld is a Pro-43, although you will be hard pressed to find it for your price. They usually go for around $300. The next choice, frequently available at $200, is the Pro-39. The Pro-43 is the only handheld that I've always kept at least one of (that and a desktop Pro-2004 are my favorites).

They are used to provide an instrument for adjustment of the oscillator`s frequency. They have a digital gate (usually a flip-flop), and th e gate counts the incoming pulses. They are then displayed digitally on the readout of the instrument.

Thanks in advance. >keg@internetmci.com Jason, This means REPEATER inputs and outputs. On the output of the repeater, you will hear both the Base(dispatcher) and the mobiles. On the input, you hear only the mobiles. The repeater acts as a receiver and takes the transmissions from the mobiles on the input channel and re-broadcasts them to all users on the output channel. Frequency pairs vary based on band used: In the VHF Range, the inputs and outputs can be almost any frequency, however there are certain "mobile only" frequencies mandated by the FCC. On UHF (450-470) range, the inputs are 5 Mhz higher than the Outputs. For UHF-T (470-512), the difference is 3 Mhz. and for 800 Mhz, the input frequencies are 45 Mhz LOWER than the outputs. For example, a UHF Repeater operates on 453.50 Output frequency, the mobiles' Input frequency will be 458.50. To receive both sides of the transmission, you must tune to the Ouput (453.50). The freq. plan for the mobile would be: Transmit 458.50 Receive 453.50 However, the frequency for the Repeater will be: Transmit 453.50 Receive 458.50 Hope this simplified explaination is helpful.

There are 2 reasons for this: 1) The system uses a repeater, whereby the transmitting radio sends on an offset frequency (low power) to the repeater site, which then re-broadcasts at a much higher power level. the ofset is often 5MHz. This system is extremely common in public service where hand-helds and vehicle radios may not have adequate power. It's also used where terrain presents line-of-sight problems. 2) Some (fairly rare) radio systems use full-duplex, where any 2 units can both transmit and recieve at the same time. in order to do this, 2 frequencies must be used. Mark The truth as I percieve it to be. Your perception may be different.

Or should I just say >to hell with it and get the belden 9913. >Vince There are two effects at work here. 1) impedance matching - The antenna / receiver both have 50 ohm impedances, however they do vary with frequency. This is one of the effects that cause transmitters outside of its operating frequency range to be 'unusable' (there are others which are beyond the scope of this discussion). However within its band of operation the impedance stays fairly close to 50 ohms. You should match the 50 ohms so that as little power as possible is lost due to being reflected back at the antenna due to cable missmatch. 2) LOSS AND NOISE PICKUP- once the signal is in the cable you want to keep as much as possible there, keep external noise out and keep the signal from being 'knocked down' due to passing through the cable. SO YOU SHOULD If you are going to operate over a wide range of frequencies, as in the top frequency is 5 to 10 times (or more) the frequency on the low end, operate the receiver with different antennas for different ranges, (a shortwave antenna is not too good at 400MHz, and the 400MHz antenna is useless at shortwave). This ensures that the antenna is well tuned to the frequencies in use and the impedance match is good. Get cable that is low loss AT THE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES YOU WILL USE. different cables are good at different frequency ranges, and no one cable is perfect for all ranges. marc N3WEU From amsoft@epix.net Sun Jul 21 19:08:03 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-5.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!new-news.sprintlink.net!newsreader.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-stk-3.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-ana-24.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!hunter.premier.net!netnews.worldnet.att.net!uunet!in1.uu.net!news-m01.ny.us.ibm.net!news-s01.ny.us.ibm.net!usenet From: Ray Lasky Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Downloading Newsgroup for Off-Line Viewing Date: Tue, 16 Jul 1996 17:13:04 -0700 Lines: 4 Message-ID: <31EC3010.4161@ibm.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: slip166-72-209-109.ct.us.ibm.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Win95; I; 16bit) Can I download the contents of this newsgroup(locally to my own machine) and then look at the posts OFF-Line - when the meter is not running on my Internet Service Provider?

If you put enough voting recievers and transmit sites up, a system on 800 Mhz will work just as well as a system on 450 Mhz or 150 Mhz. I work for Los Angeles County and we went from a 3 site 450 Mhz system to a 7 site 800 Mhz trunked system (EDACS) and the trunked system sucks! Not because its "on 800", because the mountaintop sites, simulcast equipment etc was not implemented correctly.. That's what matters.

How can I find them? > TIA, > Grady Russell Well, considering they are part of KSP, 453.300 and 453.450 are the primary. You'll hear WPxxx ant that designates Water Patrol. The xxx will be the unit number. I'll try to call Sammy and see if he will tell me the freqs. Hell, he gave me the ones for Fish and Game, but they're really pretty useless unless you want to listen to them report in to Frankfort as to whether they are going to work or getting off work. Most usually use the county frequencies they are working. Water Patrol does have frequencies programmed in for Grayson, Edmonson, Hart, Barren, and Warren counties. As to the frequency they use while on the water. I don't know. Sometime when I up there, I'll take my frequency counter up there and see if I catch something. BTW: Radio Shack still sells the freq. counters, but they don't keep them in stock, ya have to ask for them. Remind me Wed. to bring mine.

This would be very advantageous , since some of the Amateur packet TNC (Terminal Node Controllers) Now even employ data compression! A few even allow for direc t TCP/IP connection! (Kantronics). Also, compared to most of the commercial unit s that would do this job, the Amateur units are relatively cheap -- (in the 300-400 dollar range). Used units can be had even cheaper, and they don`t wear out. Also, with most of the amateur units, you can use just about any terminal program that you would use on the phone lines, so no need to buy software.

In short picture your antenna as being held up by air, nothing should come between the elements of the antenna to the connection of your scanner. 2-Odds are the commission boy at Radio Shack sold you RG-58/U coax. RG-58/U sucks at any legnth over 3 ft.(In my opinion however), If your funds permit go back to radio shack and pick youself up a coil of RG-6.(The same type used for cable TV). First, it costs a hell of a lot less than RG-58/U, and second, the loss per ft. is extremely minimal. You will also need to get the connecters to adapt the RG-6 ends to a PL-259 or BNC since RG-6 is a thinner coax. Yes bending should be kept to a minimal, but coax disected is pretty tough. My teeth know! 3-It is documented that the Radio Shack discone has deficency when recieving on low band 30-50Mhz. I do not use this antenna, so I can not contest to its efficiency. Hopefully these tips help you in your quest for ultimate scanning, and others alike who find this info useful.

NCIC maintained by the FBI, but the data is input by individual law enforcement agencies. The NCIC database is accessed by the NLETS (National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System) whose switcher is located in Arizona. The NLETS system has all law enforcement agencies tied into it, as well as the motor vehicle database of each state and the criminal history files of each state. When a officer in California runs an Oregon reg plate, the message is directed to the state switcher, then to Arizona, then to Oregon. The return message take takes the same route. Law Enforcement had a Web long before the WWW. Some police agencies, to simplify things, just say negative NCIC, meaning no wants or warrants, even when referring to the local state database as well as the Federal database.

It was very easy to install in the scanner. Took about 20 minutes. And after I used this contraption for just a little while....I don't know how I got along without it. It's just that much easier to operate the scanner....and the windows version of scanstar has this nifty floating bar that is "always on top" so you can pause, lockout, exit, and resume scanning" with the program minimized. like now - I can keep this window open, and control the scanner with just a click - and the little popup shows the frequency, name, and any sub audible tones.... I am curious as to how well PROBE works.....as so many people like it...I may have to get the trial version and see..... walker From amsoft@epix.net Sun Jul 21 19:08:49 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!uunet!inXS.uu.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!newsreader.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-pen-4.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-10.sprintlink.net!news1.inlink.com!news2.inlink.com!usenet From: Ken Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: NEED INFORMATION ON SCANNER INTERFACES Date: Sun, 14 Jul 1996 14:25:59 -0500 Organization: Armadillo Computer Services Lines: 24 Message-ID: <31E949C7.7C13@inlink.com> References: <01bb6e06.4354a320$c18cdccc@jimc> NNTP-Posting-Host: pm00615.inlink.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.02Gold (Win95; I) Jim Christensen wrote: > > I am about to buy, trade, or in some fashion obtain an interface for > either my 2042 or my 2006, I would like to hear from anyone who has one of > these and be able to compare opto interfaces to any others out there. your > replys will be appreciated. > Thanks in advance > > Jim Christensen (N0EXP) Jim- You really won't make a mistake either way. I have both the 2042 and 2006 with interfaces, and they work substantially the same. The 2006 is a _little_ easier to install as you don't have to cut a hole in th e back panel of the radio. I'm also told that the 2006 (actually the OS456 interface) has a little more stabl e tone reader if you're interested in doing CTCSS tone squelch and the like. I am using Probe software , which is supposed to correct for this problem, so I can't really comment. Have fun, whichever way you decide to go!

There are two classes of pawn shops, satellites of large chains, e.g., Cash America, and there are independent shops. Independent shops are locally owned and are usually capable of being realistic. The owner is usually in the shop once daily. The owner will usually deal. The large chain stores usually have a limited variance for prices and policies. I have stopped my shopping at the large chain stores. When I did shop at them, I found that there was a manager on duty at all times. Only the manager had authority to adjust prices in a significant manner. Strongly recommend that you call the shops in the Yellow Pages and identify the independent (locally owned) shops. If you want a particular item, call them once weekly. A useful guide for pricing is that the pawned item should NEVER cost more than half of the new price. Half of new price is a starting point. If they insist on half of new price or more, forget it as it is false economy to buy it. You should buy it new at a discount store or through a discount mail order house. Money back guarantees are also very desirable. Remember that the economy is poor and you can operate on the premis that nobody has any money. You may be the only customer that considers an item during a period of several weeks. I have always been treated well at independent pawn shops and I can't enough good things about them. j. graham From amsoft@epix.net Sun Jul 21 19:09:02 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!uunet!in2.uu.net!ott.istar!istar.net!van.istar!west.istar!news-w.ans.net!newsfeeds.ans.net!chi-news.cic.net!cs.utexas.edu!ennfs.eas.asu.edu!news.asu.edu!usenet From: "Patrick D.

I did a point-of-sale system for a small chain of pawn shops and I was somewhat surprised to find that they made more on people looking for good deals than they did from charging 30% per month in interest. In fact they had a thriving retail operation going where they would buy stuff from wholesalers and resell it through the pawn shop. As a rule they don't have a good idea on the value of their stock which is why they will usually only give you 20% or so of the value on a pawn. There are exceptions where some dealers will specialize in a specific area -- usually jewelry or firearms, but for the most part they can't be experts on most of the stuff they take in on pawn. --rick From amsoft@epix.net Sun Jul 21 19:09:03 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!uwm.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu!ts4-5.homenet.ohio-state.edu!user From: cantrell.19@osu.edu (Steve Cantrell) Newsgroups: rec.radio.cb,rec.radio.scanner,alt.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Pawn Shops: Greedy or Ignorant?

I'm quite versant with with microcontrollers too. Trust me when I tell you I had gone over the obvious before concluding that the CPU was at fault. Correct supply voltages were all present, suspect solder joints were re-sweated, crystal was changed twice...I even breadedboarded the CPU on a piece of pc board with a crystal, a reset circuit, required pins were tied appropriately and there was no sign of life.

The guy wires will be 125% of the height of the mast, Jack. You will need three equally-spaced guy wires, spaced out from the base of the mast 85% of the height of the mast.

There is a story that has been reported many times in the magazines, that a UK police operator broadcast a message to the effect that a UFO had been seen in a field nearby. When several scanner users turned up to have a look, they were arrested for listening to police transmissions illegally. I was apparently a trap. I don't know if the story is true, but it has been repeated often over the last couple of years. Cheers,,,,,,Jack.

The 200XLT was "finished" several years back...hence no 200XLT on their web page. The 220XLT is the nearest direct replacement which features the same frequency coverage all in a new case. ASFAIK the 230XLT is the original 220XLT package with an additional spare battery pack included. In a similar way the 120XLT replaced the 100XLT - coverage similar as above but no 760MHz+ -- Cheers, /-------------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jonathan Clough | HF/VHF/UHF Receivers & Scanners | | Javiation, | from all the leading manufacturers | | Bradford, UK |Full coverage, "unblocked" scanners Including| | Tel: +44 (0)1274 732146 | PRO-26/43, UBC-3000XLT, AR5000/7030/8000 | | Fax: +44 (0)1274 722627 | http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/ | | Compu$$erve: 100117,535 \---------------------------------------------| | Internet : Clough@javiaton.demon.co.uk (PGP Key available on request) | \-------------------------------------------------------------------------/ From amsoft@epix.net Sun Jul 21 19:09:38 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!news.ultranet.com!tag.ultranet.com!tag From: tag@tag.ultranet.com (Tom Greenwood) Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: US Government Radio Monitoring Date: Tue, 16 Jul 1996 23:10:28 GMT Organization: UltraNet Communications, Inc.

[...] I've got an AT&T 9300. I can only get half way to the bagel shop. :-) Still, range is *much* improved over the old 46-49MHz one I had. The newer Escort Courier 9600 advertises it gets "Up to 2600-foot range (1/2 mile)", but I have no direct experience. You can get a copy of their mini-catalog by calling 1-800-433-3487 24 hours/7days. Their lesser models (or older models) advertise similar range at better prices. Hello Direct, another reputable outfit, sells a remote 900 MHz antenna for $60 on a 30-foot cable you could mount higher for increased range. You can reach them at 1-800-444-3556 or . "Sidetone" can be a problem with these phones. That's you hearing your voice in your ear a bit loudly as you talk. That bothers some people a lot, others not at all. If you think it will bother you, attempt to try one out before buying or get a return privilege. They're expensive phones. I would strongly urge you to get a spread spectrum model for your own security. I can get my phone on the scanner, but only as a hiss.

All those are very good, but expensive for a one-shot repair job. I love heat-shrinkable tubing...but the size for coax isn't available everywhere. A less expensive, just-as-good weather seal, is an inner wrapping of rubber tape (the uncured kind, still found in do-it-yourself stores such as OSH, Orchard Supply and Hardware). Over that, wind friction tape (the old sticky-cloth kind, also available at OSH and others) under tension, covering the inner rubber tape ends. I've operated VHF and UHF r/t in the U.S. Army that way and the wrappings have been true even when immersed in water. A tear on any coax cable's outer insulating jacket doesn't affect sensitivity or anything else. The jacket covering is there primarily to keep the outer conductor from corroding. --- * OLX 2.1 * BACHELOR - one who never Mrs. a girl.

Hopefully someone can provide a radio flowchart of sorts for takeoff and landing. I need a better antenna and maybe a signal preamp as picking up the airport is rough.

Electronic devices emit radio frequency waves even if they are only intended as (music CD's, Scanners, Laptops). Many of these have pretty high clock rates. The aircrafts antenna's are mounted all over the surface..tail, wings, underside etc. Given that you are in such close proximity even unintended emitions may swamp (with noise) the real signals coming from the ground. During takeoff and landing phases when you are closest to the ground or trying to follow a radio path that will lead you to a safe landing is when this is most important.

(As I am an airli ne pilot I guess this counts). During drparture, regardless of weather is it VMC or IMC, I am relying on radio nav to assist me in any type of operation. It is my PRIMARY sourse of situational awareness information. + or - 10 degrees is unacceptable especially when the system we are using is supposed to be only + or - 1 degree(for example). This is because we are not the only one out there and we are required to be where we are supposed to be to ensure separation between us and all of the other aircraft using the same route. In reality, a scanner or something usually will not screw things up. However lets say that your buddy brings a lousy radio with a really noisy oscillator on the airplane which has a harmonic right even with the Glideslope or Localizer freq. Bet you wouldnt like the result. As far as who lets you use radios on board the aircraft that is entirely up to the captain. He has the authority to approve that on a case by case basis. As to your last comment.....The need for safety is EVER PRESENT and should never be compromised no matter what the WX conditions are. You may be a risk taker, but I am not.

No real serious complaints. I love the thing. After owning one for almost 2 years I have some general comments. 1) Antenna that comes with it is a compromise. Get Austin Condor from Grove, I myself got a Diamond RH77CA antenna. You will be much happier with a better antenna. 2) Battery life good but not outstanding. When batteries (alkaline or rechargeable) start to die, audio makes annoying rasping sound. 3) Car lighter charging can make NiCd's hot. 4) Rubber knobs are mushy. Easily cured with elec tape applied to metal shafts which gives them a more positive rotational feel. 5) Hard to tell position of top knobs visually. Easily cured by using some sparingly applied white silicone caulk to just one knurn on vol and squelch knob. 6) Scanner resets itself if a passed (locked out) channel is loaded into the VCO accidentally. Does not erase frequencies though, thank god. 7) Vulnerable without the case. Get the leatherette case. 8) LCD panel viewing angle is narrow. Washes out if viewed from any of the 4 sides. Still a terrific radio. Get one, learn it, thank me later.

They are the US supplier, and should have those numbers. Some order from Javiation in the UK, and their link is: http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/index.html Good luck! I believe the "Official" Ar8000 interface is the AR8000INF and costs about $79.

It is common in these units to have a reverse polarity protection diode right at the wall wart supply input. When presented with a reverse polarity supply of adequate current, the diode will short. This matches your symptoms. Look for the diode very near the dc jack. It will read a nearly dead short in both directions. Replace and you're back in business. Note: it is unlikely an visual evidence will be found. Mark The truth as I perceive it to be. Your perception may be different.

It does not seem that way. I lived in NH for 6 years where links were very popular and this just 'does not seem' the same. 460. 625 / 94.8 is used to retransmit ALL traffic on the Bucks County Fire 'South' Band of 46.20 AS WELL AS ALL dispatches from 46.10! I can hear this 460.625 site for about a 60 mile radius!! By the way, the 46.20 traffic overrides the 46.10 traffic when they conflict. 460.5875/97.4 is used to transmit all traffic on the Bucks Count 'East' band of 46.06 but does not transmit any 46.10 dispatches. 506.3875/100.0 is used to transmit all traffic on the Bucks County 'West' band of 46.12 and again does not repeat dispatches from 46.10. 460.600/141.3 is also in use by Northampton Fire Stations 3 and 73 but does not seem to repeat/link anything yet - just lots of chit-chat.

Hi- There are several scanners on the market that have computer control interfaces built in, including the AOR 8000 and 2700 handhelds, and the 3000 base, as well as the Icom 9000, 7100 and 700 0 base units. You can also add computer control to the Radio Shack 2005 and 2006 by buying a n interface from Optoelectronics called the OS 456, and the Radio Shack 2035 and 2042 (still current models) wi th the OS 535. This is probably the cheapest way to go, and gives overall the best results. You'll also need software to run whatever radio you choose... I like Probe for the optoscan interfaces, and Scanstar for the others... The quality is excellent, and the computer can do things that you just can't d o with a normal scanner. Good Luck.

The digital radios in use by most federal agencies employs DES encryption. It's more than rumor - nearly everyone around Atlanta is using DES (except for non-sensitive agenices like the GSA, BOP or the NPS). Strangely, though, the DEA around here is 'in the clear' quite often. My 'close source' in the FBI (OK, my dad) tells me that agents will go clear because the range while in scrambled mode is reduced signicantly. For practical purposes, DES is unbreakable (though the folks on the cypherpunks mailing list are rumbling about trying to mout a distributed attack on it).

Firstly while I was bussy with some DIY at home, I had my scanner on listening to a woman on a cordless telephone set, she had been talking to her friend for at least an hour. Then I herd her tell her friend that she would not come and visit her for a while, because of the traveling costs. ( Think about this one. If her friend is far enough away to worry about the travel costs, then how much has an hour long phone call over this distance just cost her. I suppose this is femanine logic at its best ). Another thing I found amusing was a few years ago when I tuned into the Red Arrows display frequency, while they were putting on a display at the Biggin Hill Air Fair. Most of the instructions would be short and sharp. Things like LEFT BREAK CLIMB etc. etc. Then all of a sudden I would hear. "WWWHOOOOOPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" I suppose those display teams must have some fun. Bye Bye now. Richard.

As far as I know, no RS 400 ch scanner (Pro-2004,5,6, 2035 or 2042) can be modified for those ranges. The 520 to 760 is TV audio and video, so not much there to hear anyway. Below 25 MHz the reception would be poor because the thing isn't tuned to "hear" that low. BTW, each scanner is a bit different from the others, so best thing to do is to identify exactly which one you have when you have a question.

I have an old computerized frequency list for Ontario that lists 42.0 MHz as "O.P.P. Air." Would anyone be able to tell me if that frequency is still valid after the upgrade to the new VHF-high system a while back? I have been monitoring that frequency for almost a year now and have heard nothing. Is it possible that they use the CommCentre frequencies or a new frequency? Anyone with info. please e-mail me or post here. One last thing. The OPP used to have two helicopters at the Brampton Training Academy. Does anyone know if these are still in use at Brampton?

There are a number of things I think this could accomplish even if the scanner was no controlled by the PC and if it was all the better. I realize some things might require offline analysis by the software looking over a recording file while others might be done real time. Has anyone seen something like this out there. (If not maybe this will start some discussion). 1) PC could act as VOX recorder, so later you can come back and listen to only the highlights, recorded audio on the disk. If frequency knowledgable they could be separated into different audio streams, hits could be accumulated etc. 2) PC could determine CTCSS of incoming audio and display CTCSS freq or use freq as lookup to indicate known users of RF frequency. It may even be possible in real time to filter and alarm based on CTCSS that you want brought to your attention. 3) PC could decode touch tones, digital data, and other pager tones converting them to display (numbers or pager addresses). Additionally (for those who have a way to get something on the air...like calling your own pager or using a hand held radio/your own cordless phone) a lookup table could be used to: o Start programs o Perform other control functions for the scanner itself. o drive other PC driven devices (X10, modems etc).

Actually, you can sort of pick up cell. freqs with the Pro-25. Between 896.1125 and 921.0000, you can pick up the image freqs of the cell calls. The quality isn't all that good, and most of the time, you can only hear 1/2 the coversation, but you can pick it up. This is on the Canadian model, so I don't know if the U.S. model can do this.

They now have the SAME radio (same looks, same size, same buttons, same everything, except for features) under the name Pro-24. Here are the differences: Pro-49 Has 10 channels, Pro-24 has 16 channels, Pro-49 does not cover the 800 MHz, and Pro-24 does cover 800MHz.

I guess that did not come across as I intended. My apologies. I don't disagree that there is a place for "reasonable" advertising. Optoelectronics, Computer-Aided technologies and other reputable firms sometimes post short messages announcing new products, updates and so forth.

I have the CE-232 and it runs several (3) scanners...one at a time as described in his techical information. The interface is very powerful and agile. It will do many things the OPTO versions won't, just as the OPTO versions do much the CE-232 won't do. It just depends on your wants/needs. I suggest the OPTO for those that have very little hacking experience...the CE-232 for those that like to dive in and get personal with their equipment. (I have a friend that has the OPTO 456, so I am familiar with it.) As for the arguments on rec.radio.scanner, I agree. Few people enjoy the rocks these people throw at each other.

The superintendant of the ILL state troopers said " Without those extra set of eyes,we would not have half the convictions we do". He goes on to say " We would also not entertian the idea of DVP". Now having been raised in a Police family , I can say I do agree with that dispatchers comments on this: Sometimes some comms are just too case sensitive to relay over the air..a sexual assault case or rape etc...Drug busts etc... this is when the need for DVP or radio silence is called for. Not for cloaking the call to check on that barking dog!

I have friends in law I'd like to know where all the appeals on those convictions went. The rules of evidence are pretty stiff nowadays. What exactly would a scanner user be able to contribute as direct testimony in court? How many scanner users were subpoenaed to testify at trial because they had a scanner and called the police about an incident? That's the ONLY way a scanner user could be involved in "getting a conviction" in a criminal case, and I suspect that most of their testimony would be ruled inadmissable in pretrial hearings. 73 de Dave, NF2G From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 27 19:33:11 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!uunet!in3.uu.net!news.PBI.net!usenet From: Tracy Justus Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Thousand Oaks, Ventura County Freq.

You will have to buy one of their non-speaking radios and they will program it and they will only put in normal channels for you to listen to...no swat or dui or sdu or dist attorny, or captain or lt's or the tac channels which vice operates on all the time....

And if they will not authorize anyone, even the press, for getting radios programmed by their dept., the press is out of luck and has to do the old beat check routine...there is no consistency .... just chaos....this is the cops best friendly radio system.

Now for the broadcast/daily paper, will not have much info on the incidents becuase the PD/FD does not KNOW the media wants this info. After all you did not call on the two alarm fire so you must not want the info. Okay called in at 11:00 second alarm 11:15, under control 12:30, cause under investigation. the coverage stinks, people lack respect and confidence in their local police/fire depts becuase they do not see them doing anything. Beleive me, I've talked to some great PIO's in my time, and I'd much rather trust the LAFD that puts their freq. on the web rather than the FD chief that says are conversations are private etc etc...

A frind of mine is a newspaper photographer and I've met him at the scene several times and he seems to have a good repore (sp?) with both fire and police. On several occations I've seen him snapping away and making small talk with the FD/PD people. On some of these calls I've been able to pass the police line to talk to my newpaper reporter friend and have gotten some great information on radio scanning from chatting with them. PLEASE keep in mind that it's not a good idea to go "Amulance chassing". The only calls I've gone to have been in my own neighborhood and I make a point of STAYING OUT OF THE WAY! The police and fire have enough to deal with without having bystanders to watch out for. I don't know about the policys that your local PD or FD have, but in the town I live in the PD and FD use the media the same way that the media use them. If your in the media (I don't mean to tell you how to do you job) you might trying a little social engineering to get your next exclusive. It's worked for my friend and now he gets INVITED to take ride alongs with the PD/FD. He got a bitchin' photo of during a police gang sweep of a guy answering the door at 5am. Greeted buy several PD/SO/INS/Parole officers. The photo was one to remember. He's half dressed and in a full yawn when he answered the door :) Oh, and I was home listening to them all this time. service@pacbell.net http://www.westworld.com/~justus From amsoft@epix.net Sat Jul 27 19:33:19 1996 Path: news2.epix.net!uunet!in2.uu.net!news.voicenet.com!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-9.sprintlink.net!dallasI5.dallas.net!news From: Jim Poll Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner Subject: Re: Trunking Systems Date: Wed, 24 Jul 1996 13:00:34 -0700 Organization: Dallas/Plano Internet Lines: 51 Message-ID: <31F680E2.1E6F@dallas.net> References: <4t1cht$nss@sjx-ixn5.ix.netcom.com> <4t3c57$mk6@Mercury.mcs.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: aux65.plano.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.01 (Win16; I) Neil R.

One of the better explanations of underlying rationale of trunked systems! Way to go Neil! I second all Neil has to say on this subject. There were a great number of local municipalities in and around Dallas/ Fort Worth in past years who had alocations for only one or two frequencies in a mix of VHF low-band (30-50), VHF hi-band (150-160) and UHF (450-512) frequencies - and who have now converted to Trunked systems, and in a lot of cases nearby small, cities went in together on a system because it was impossible to obtain additional, clear VHF hi-band or UHF frequencies (activity on low band here is alsmost non-existant). Trunking does make very good, efficient use of spectrum. I am looking forward to trunking in the VHF and UHF areas - I like the propagation characteristics at 150 MHz for county-wide coverage and UHF works well for building penetratio n (as does 800) but UHF for some reason seems a little 'friendlier' propagation-wise in the city plus offers a little less free-space propagation loss and diffracts a little better into low lying areas (covering them better) .

This radio is never intended to be exported to the United States. I have never even seen one myself. I cannot remember, but seems like the manufacturer felt that it would be too costly to block out the cellular reception to enable the radio to be marketed in the United States (but, I might be wrong). Anyway, it is not sold in the US so therefore the steps are not set up with the US band plans. What I want to know is if anyone knows of a company which exports this scanner to the US?

They do have a sign asking that all ham radios and scanners be turned off while in the museum so I have abided by that request and left them in the car. Enjoy your visit to the fine museum and be sure to look for the `Tacit Blue' aircraft that should now be on display. The unvailed it while I was at the museum the week after the Dayton Hamvention in May. If you have never been to the museum, plan on spending the WHOL day there as it is that big. There is also an annex on the base that has some interesting aircraft there as well. The Air Force Museum also has a web site. I do not remember the URL, but any of the search engines should find iw with a search on `Air Museum'. Enjoy.

After takeoff the aircraft will contact departure for instructions on leaving the area. from there air traffic control give the aircraft instructions. Aircraft position from the Airport will determine which freq it will use. example -a/c approaching from east will use freq assigned to that sector. -a/c departing to south will use freq assigned to that sector. -each runway usally has its own contol tower frequency. Arrival Air traffic control hands a/c off to approach control. Approach control hands off to tower then tower hands a/c to ground control after departing runway for taxiway. This is the condensed version of the procedure. The Avaiation communication equipment does not need a lot of power to tx. They have qreat line of site communication. the air craft are either close on the ground or in the air with nothing to obstruct communication. hope this helps.

Carefully push the knobs back on and they will have a much stiffer feel. You have to push them on such that the action of pushing them on does not force the wrapped tape out of place. I also put a line of white silicone caulk in the knob knurl opposite the gray dot so that you can much more easily see the position the knobs are in.

Trunking can be used with any frequency (the technology may be applied, that is) - but these radios are typically in the 800-900Mhz band. The big thing about trunked radios, is that when YOU listen to them on a simple scanner, you will hear the conversation jump around - in that, you may hear a question on one frequency, and the reply on the other.....unless you have a really fancy scanner, and can decode the subaudible tones.... easiest way - just set the trunked system's frequencies in a separate bank, then make sure that the "delay" is OFF - that way, as soon as someone unkeys, it resumes scanning immediately, and you have a better chance of catching the response.... good luck, and if you have any more questions, just post em, or mail them! walker From amsoft@epix.net Thu Aug 01 21:48:42 1996 Message-ID: <234314Z29071996@anon.penet.fi> Path: news2.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-2.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-5.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-9.sprintlink.net!news.sprintlink.net!news-dc-10.sprintlink.net!news-dc.gsl.net!news.gsl.net!news-res.gsl.net!news.gsl.net!usenet.eel.ufl.edu!spool.mu.edu!howland.reston.ans.net!EU.net!news.eunet.fi!anon.penet.fi Newsgroups: rec.radio.scanner From: an506384@anon.penet.fi X-Anonymously-To: rec.radio.scanner Organization: Anonymous forwarding service Reply-To: an506384@anon.penet.fi Date: Mon, 29 Jul 1996 23:38:40 UTC Subject: Cheek wars Lines: 10 Anyone who posts a flame message after July 31 is a complete moron and should be drawn and quartered.

Personally, I would prefer to forego those gigabytes of marvellous posts you offer, if the price of admission is giving you the license to act as crudely as you like when someone takes a shot at you. It doesn't matter who started the dispute. There is a minimum level of behaviour that should be expected from posters, even if others are attacking them. You seldom meet that minimum.

I agree with you. I am of the mind that I can monitor whatever goes through my body. However - To listen to someone without their knowledge or consent is invading their privacy. Most people have some idea that they have privacy on any phone (obviously false). It's ethically questionable to listen to them if they have this idea. I'm not sure how to explain how I feel about this. If they realize they very easily could be listened in on, then there wouldn't be much of an ethical problem. This makes no sense, eh. In any case, I will listen to them. I may be invading their privacy by doing so, but as you said, they are invading mine. I never said I didn't do it. I'm straddling the issue, arent I.

In First Ammendment cases, a phrase often used is `reasonable expectation of privacy'. How could anyone expect privacy over a devise using radio waves? If he did expect privacy, would his expectation be reasonable?

Some keys on keypad wouldn't respond, intermittantly, sent it back to ACE 3 days out of warr, they covered anyway, had it back fixed in 2weeks. No probs since then.

About 7 units responded "97" right after the "code 4"... :) - Also a guy "unloading" his gun at the officers, noone was hit, the gun got loose into a crowd (!).. not sure what happened there, it was code 4 eventually. - Tons more (saturday night, of course...) - High speed (up to 120mph) motorcycle chase went right past my house the other day... they stopped pursuing him eventually.. lots of controversy about chases here recently. Only problem with recording SDPD is the fact that they are trunked. I don't always get the whole incident and other stuff gets in there.. (if only I had 20 800mhz scanners...)

Well, then, Mister Michael Alexander (who just can't ever stifle himself for very long), there may be a LOT that your know-it-all, judgmental, pompous, sanctimonious self just doesn't know. Perhaps Mr. Boe and I see eye to eye? You won't know, though. But I will tell you this....write it down. Read Edgar Guest's poem, "IF" for a groundbreaker. And then observe.......... When I walk with kings, I -=am=- a king. When I walk with common men, I -=am=- a common man. When I swim the sewers with riff-raff and low-lifes like yourself, I become riff-raff and low-life, too. Don't shoot at me with a .22-cal pistol, Mister Michael Alexander, and then whine and snivel when I shoot back with a .457 Winchester Magnum. Don't swim like a turd in a punch bowl and then yell when I piss on you. When a contract is broken, it is broken.

The power automatically comes on when there is audio and shuts down a couple minutes after audio has stopped.

The type of info that I am looking for is features, and a little bit of technical insight on how the device actually interfaces with the scanner. From what I have heard, the OS456 interfaces into the Microcontroller in the Pro 2006. Is this true?? How does the CE232 do it?? I am just interested in making an un-biased comparison of the two interfaces to fully understand schemes and engineering. OptoScan makes the OS456, who makes the CE232??? Any info appreciated....

It's got 1000 channels (10 scan banks and 10 search banks) and goes from 50 Khz to 1300 Mhz without any gaps. It's a good performer too (well not on the shortwave side but who buys a scanner for SW?) The only complaint about it is that it is difficult to program and the documentation is quite poor. If you really have your heart set on a Pro26, go for the Uniden BC3000XLT instead. Similar in many respects, better in others (400 channels, and exceptionally well built, come to mind). Best of all, it sells for about $50 less than the Pro26.

If enough people complain loud and clear to the scanner makers about this problem of not being able to follow trunked systems, they will find a way of providing scanners capable of making our enjoyment of such to come alive. Also the same is true for digital transmissions. Thanks to greed, high demands are always meet with supply.

I now work with a law enforcement agency, but in the past, have been involved in the media as, among other things, a radio station News Director and a radio General Manager. The fact is, when a government agency decides to switch to another radio technology, scanner enthusiasts and the media are both at the bottom of the list of reasons for doing so. Nobody cares if people listen to their scanners. The only people who see a "plot" to prevent scanner listeners from hearing police broadcasts are the scanner listeners! As for the media, its job is to report what happens out in the real world, and that involves monitoring police radiocasts. If the police switch to a different system, it is the media's responsibi- lity to find a way to do its own job. The police department doesn't give a rat's *ss if the local papers, TV and radio stations can or can't listen. The newspaper or station that wants to be able to stay competitive will purchase or lease the necessary gear to be able to do the job. Everytime I've come across a law enforcement agency that's thinking of changing radio systems, there are usually two reasons for the change...financial efficiency and ease of communicating. I was once involved with a small city where the police often had trouble communicating with portable radios. An officer out on portable in some areas of the city could only be heard by other nearby officers. This is a dangerous situation. The city had two solutions available to it. It could switch to a repeater system in which portables would put out the same strength signal as the dispatch center's base station. The second solution still used a repeater system, but also utilized a change in frequencies to eliminate sharing a main band with several other area depart- ments. The city opted for the second solution. It had nothing to do with trying to "foil" scanner enthusiasts and the media. It was simply a matter of better, more efficiant communications. Many areas are switching to trunked systems to make more efficient use of the radio spectrum. With trunked systems, more agencies can use fewer frequencies without each agency listeneing to the other agencies' radio traffic or having to wait for the channel to clear. A "plot" against scanner enthusiasts? Look at it this way... scanner enthusiasts listen to police communications for fun, for entertainment, for diversion. Police officers listen to police communications as their information lifeline.

It sounds like it very well could be the postal inspector. Especially if there is low activity.

If you mean to mobile repeaters that some agencies use, then yes, they can be heard on most any scanner. As for the frequency, a little investigation with a Police Call or such book should yield some information. You might look for something used statewide with no base stations. Maybe if you provide us the information such as what state we can help. My overall opinion of the beartrackers is they are a good idea, but do not work, especially since the state I live in does not use mobile repeaters. J.W.

I believe that they pick up the "mobile extender" frequencies -- low-power signals that connect the cop's handheld back to the radio in the car. Freqs will probably vary from state-to-state.
