- RS PRO-2006 SCANNER MOD
-
- To enable the Radio Shack PRO-2006 scanner to monitor the cellular phone
- frequencies (870.030-879.360 System A Base) (880.650-889.980 System B Base)
- and the actual mobile telephone frequency (825.030-834.360 System A Mobile)
- and (835.650-844.980 System B Mobile) do the following:
-
- 1. Remove the top cover only. It is held by the 2 screws on back.
-
- 2. Looking behind the metal plate covering the front panel, look at your
- left top corner. You will see 2 glass diodes sticking out of the PC
- board (PC-3). The one at the bottom is labeled D502.
-
- 3. Simply cut the lead on the diode (D502).
-
- Turn the radio on and program the limit search memories with the ranges
- indicated on top. The System A and B Base are the ones to listen to. The
- reason is that you'll be able to hear both sides of the conversation. If
- you try listening the Mobile signal, you'll only hear the signal being sent
- out by the actual phone. Also the signal on the cellular phone is only a
- measly 4 watts.
-
- This mod is so simple, you can do it in less than 3 minutes. Only a small
- cutting plier is needed, as well as the screwdriver.
-
- This information is intended for BBS users outside the USA. Since the US
- has a really dumb law called the E.C.P.A (Electronics Communications Privacy
- Act), it basically prohibits listening in on a variety of radio signals
- which are not intended to be listened by the general public and has been
- deliberately encoded, scrambled, or just deliberately used to ensure
- privacy. So, if you live in the US, don't do this mod.
