With a splitter, each radio will receive 1/2 the signal it normally would.
Unless my thinking is wrong, that equals 3db of loss (3db is half power), so a
small preamp would overcome that.  Mast mounted preamps are best.
I doubt that the scanners will interfere with eachother, but it is possible.
Some scanners put out a lot of noise, so they lock up other scanners on
specific frequencies.  The 2006 is pretty clean, but I don't know about the
8000.  My 220XLT seems quite noisy.

How are the lower elements on a groundplane cut? Is there a formula for
calculating the length. My understanding is that the center verticle
element is cut for the frequency desired but I am not sure on the lower
elements.

You'll be lucky....

88-108 broadcast band radio is not only a different frequency, it's a
different modulation standard; wideband FM, rather than narrowband FM.
Although you'll probably hear *something*, the quality will be near useless.
As the deviation of your converted signal is so small, relative to what the
broadcast receiver expects, you'll get a very low output. The bandwidth of
the broadcast radio is so large that you might have problems with co-channel
interference (it lets two adjacent channels through, not just the one you
want). Finally, the tuning control of most domestic broadcast receivers is
pretty vague and wooly.

You would be much better off feeding your the output of your downconverter
into a better quality receiver, maybe a cheap scanner or airband receiver
that does FM. It needn't be expensive.

Even though I have purchased three software packages, I can't really

There are currently three alternative computer interfaces for the AR8000...

                               Approx  Approx     Advantage over
   Manufacturer     Model      price   size       other alternatives
   ---------------  ---------  ------  ---------  ----------------------
1. AOR              CU8232     $125    12x7x3 cm  Allows AR8000 cloning
2. EDCO             AR8000INF  $100     6x5x2 cm  Small size (DB25 hood)
3. Optoelectronics  CX12AR     $ 88    10x5x3 cm  Also use with Scout 40

Sizes and prices are all from memory, so take them with a "grain of salt".

All the best!

I have a AR8000 with a EDCO interface with Scancat Software.
I could not get my 8000 to talk to the computer until I did the following:
Make sure you are in expert mode.
Go to the remote menu and make sure "DELI" is followed by CR,  , not

If the CR+LF recommendation doesn't help, make sure that you have the
correct version for use with the Edco version.  If you need more

in the Somerset Hills use 33.94.  And if you search, you may find AT&T's
facilities still in the 463 MHz region.....

I don't mind the commercial ads.  As long as they aren't posted
repeatedly.  You never know when you'll find a good deal!

To use the OKI 900 (The best cellphone ever made) as a scanner you need
to do the following:

Place the phone in test mode:

1) Turn on phone
2) Within the first 20 sec press 7 and 9 simultaneously
3) Then press Menu Send End Rcl Sto Clr you will then receive a message
that sez "Good Timing!!"
4) Then press 1 and 3 simultaneously You are now in debug mode.

Entering in commands:

The Snd button acts like Enter on a computer

5) Press #12 Snd - opens up the squelch
6) Press #73FFFFLLLLTT
        FFFF - the first channel that you want to start the scanning eg 0083
        LLLL - the last channel to scan eg 0560
        TT - The time to pause on each channel (seconds)

* will restart the whole scanning process
# will pause on a channel

You can also listen to individual channels by typing
#12XXXX where XXXX is a particular channel

Happy Scanning

the talkback is widely used with many public service systems that use
repeaters.  the dispatcher often doesn't transmit from the base to the
repeater site on the same input frequency mobiles use to key the
repeater.  instead, there are microwave control links or telephone line
control links to and from the repeater site that allow all signals the
repeater is receiving to be directed back to the dispatcher without
him/her having to unkey the mike.  this is a fairly common system setup
and i've even heard it used by dispatchers to purposefully cover the
audio of the mobile unit transmitting so sensitive information isn't
spit back out over the air.

los angeles law enforcement has a slightly different approach to keeping
audio from being sent back out over the repeater.  they have a cover
tone (short, soft beeps sent over the repeater output) whenever a mobile
unit keys up.  all mobiles hear only the dispatcher speaking, which, in
my opinion, isn't such a bad idea, and cuts down the amount of radio
traffic the units have to monitor and mentally cut through to hear their
callsign.  la maintains plenty of talkaround repeaters and simplex
(tactical) channels should units need to coordinate directly with one
another.

I bought the pro46 on Dec 30/93
the serial no. is 35003188
 followed by          6A3     underneath

On the inside backcover it is written MI-25740G1-HP UB 222

Is the unit modifiable ?

I was following a mod taken from May 1993 Monitoring Times

I desoldered 2 of the 4 corners of the shield covering the
 Uniden 1489 microprocessor and I saw a BLUE chip jumper to the left of the
microprocessor,  labelled
600J and underneath
 an encircled M followed by a D (or O?)

I cut out one of the leads of that jumper but after reassembly
I had no power at all (blank display and mute speaker)
So after resoldering the cut lead the gadget works fine as before

(I used a 15 watt soldering iron )

There is also a device labelled C B
                                2 Y

to the right of the uP but i do not think it is a a chip jumper because
it has 3 leads (it is black coloured)


I would greatly appreciate an explanation of the circuit in the mod
because it is totally unclear to me after pondering over it for a few
weeks: The first thing that matters is to locate those 2 jumpers. Also

what it that IC in the diagram ?

Yours truly

that you find as active during the drill. As you said, this drill will bring the
freqs out of the woodwork and let us know which ones are likely to be used in
the

Charge those batteries! The next scheduled disaster drill will be
on June 10, 1995 starting early (8AM).  This drill will include
the southernmost counties of NJ, Cumberland, Cape May and Salem.
Medivac choppers will be used, Air Nat'l Guard, Fire, Police, Sheriff,
Rescue, Fire Police, CAP..you name it.  Equipment and personnel with
victims will be transported.    Stay tuned fellas!!

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone out there could help me out with my interference
full BC-2500 scanner..(mainly paging tones).  Most of you know interference
can be very very annoying .. I have a BC-200 that when i plug it in to the
same antenna as the BC-2500 uses, it gets half as much interference. The
strange thing is the BC-2500 was much more money and I would at least expect
better quality. I was hoping I could contact someone that has used a filter
and maybe one of you could let me know how they work.  Like I said the
interference is mainly paging stations and quite bothersome noises. Let me
know if any of you could help me out. Thanks!

I recently purchased a frequency counter to do some frequency
sleuthing. I was successful in my little quest, but haven't used it
much since then. So I'm selling it at a great price to help pay for
some other hobbies. Here's the details:

Startek Model ATH-15 Frequency Counter:

 * Captures frequencies in the 1 MHz to 1500 MHz frequency range
 * Auto Trigger & Hold... enables automatic reading and display-hold of
   very short signals (80ms). Very useful! Prevents captured frequency
   from being overwritten with a bogus "background RF count". Holds
   frequency until a signal strong enough to register on the signal
   strength bar-graph is received.
 * Automatic clean dropout function to prevent a false display when a
   signal stops amid a sample count
 * 3 gate times
 * High-efficiency, 8-digit ultra-bright display
 * 10-segment signal-strength bar graph
 * Built-in Ni-Cd batteries (5 hours use) and low battery indicator
 * Includes AC Adapter/Battery Charger
 * Pocket size, 4"Hx3.5"Wx1"D, annodized-aluminum case

I also have the #CC-90 Matching Soft Case and #TA-90 Telescoping BNC
antenna.

Everything is still in mint condition (its only a month or so old) and
will sell the counter, case and antenna for $145 including shipping
within the continental US.  For reference, I just called Startek today,
and the ATH-15 by itself is $189.00 + $9.45 for shipping/handling, and
the soft case and antenna are $12.00 each.

I have not tried it on the R7100 and have not attempted to since I do
not own one.

I wrote commercial windows software for the R7100 some time ago.
The two radios are different in two ways.

1. It is not possible to read the s-meter back from the R7000 (a
bit limiting)

2. There is an address field used in each RS-232 instruction.  The
two radios have different addresses so you will need to change it
before the software will work.


Other thnan the two points above, there should be no problems using
software for the R7000 with an R7100.

Many, I was just about to post a question on this news group about fire
and police frequencies in Dublin. This book (I assume) "monitor the
world"  can be bought. Can you please tell me where one can get it  as I
am very interested to get the Dublin frequencies before my visit home in
July. I am a vol. fire fighter here in Princeton NJ. and I am interested
to see the calls that go out in Dublin. I will also be in Clare my parenst
home county for about a week Kilrush to be exact which is the west of
Clare and I willl bring my scanner that can search for frequencies with me
so any freq. I find I will pass on to you if you are still interested.

To the many respondants to this question:  Many Thanks !

I received several quite useful e-mails from a number of scanning buffs
in Ireland and elswehere.  I particularly appreciate the replies from
"bob", "Griff" "Rickey" and "Paddy"  --who, since he's an active member
of the Garda, asked that he not be further identified!

For general info:     Cork is on 164.15,  Limrich at 164.55  and
vasious other channels can be heard in use between 164. 0 and
and 164.75 -- all NBFM.

Tnx again for all the fine inouts.

Altho I ve already sent this to you by e-mail, it occurs to me that
others might be interested as well.
The book referenced was "Monitor the World"  available from
the following address:
SMB Publishing
Box 428
Newton highlands Ma USA
1-800722-6701
The editor, Rickey Stein is active on this forum.  I'm not sure of
the price (nor that of its companion volume "Monitor America" , since
both were a gift from the missus, but I'm sure Rickey will pop in here
and let ya know.  Whatever it is, its worth it's weight in gold to a
serious scanning buff with limited time in various cities -- i preprogram
my aor8000 before leaving home on business trips and, voila!- ready to go
when the plane hits the ground.

Good luck

Paul I see you domain is telecom.ie. My father is a personnel manager for
telecom in Drogheada and recently he got his e-mail set-up after much
asking on my part. Its cheaper for me to e-mail than to call. What I was
wondering is that he is big into cycling and I had been telling him about
the bike news groups etc... on the net I did not know he had access to or
that telecom even had a news reader and I am sure my father doesn't know.
Can you tell me what he needs to do so as to give him access to your
newsreader. His e-mail address is [e-mail]. I would appreciate
your help in this matter as I am sure he would be delighted to be able to
subscribe to this newsgroup along with the cycling one and save me having
to copy articles and sending them to him.

I have a Radio Shack 2026 for sale...in excellent condition, never used
mobile with mounting bracket and instruction manual...I will also throw in
a wall power supply that I modified for this scanner...if you don't know
this is a 100 channel, 800 mhz. capable mobile scanner...thus you have to
use a power supply with it...it has been modified to receive cell fone.

In the RS catalog it is $230.00...if you act now I will ship it to you
UPS/COD for $180.00.

I also have a RS Pro-39...a handheld that has seen very little use...my
son has it sitting on his desk and now wants to move onto something
else...it has nicads with it and the charger-power supply...not sure if we
still have the manual...it has not been modified for cell but can be
done...

This is really in more than excellent condition...it is a double
conversion receiver and works great...let's see in the RS catalog they
make the equivalent Pro-51 and it sells for $300...how about $225 and I
will ship the same way.

If interested e-mail here with a fone number and I will get in touch with
you...I may have to leave town tomorrow and responses might be delayed,
but have no fear, I will respond in the order I get any e-mail.

thanks...cleve

Just returned from a vacation in the Ft. Walton Beach, Destin, Florida
area.  I discovered a couple of freqs. that could be of minor interest to
someone else headed that way.

The Ramada Hotel in Ft. Walton on U.S. 98 uses 154.600 for all their
communications.  You'll hear a lot of "Rm. 2048 needs clean towels", but
every once in a while something interesting comes up.  I happened to be
there the night Sen. Phil Graham was due to check in, so the staff was busy

The water slide across the street uses 154.570.  Finally, I found local law

I would recommend sending it back to Icom. Their service center has /was freat
help on the phone. Look in a mag and call the 1-800 number. If I recall the
rates are not bad either.  Never used grove but..........

Hi,
If you want to use it, call ScannerMaster, 18007226701, and buy a
frequency guide.  It may also answer yout legal questions. Legal or not,
many people use them in cars, etc.  Just DONT get in the way at crime
scenes or other emergencies.
Wanna sell it?  Post online or locally in The Want Ad, under radios.
Good Luck

For those of you who enjoy listening to the 46-49 Mhz band I recommend
the following setup.  I live in a townhouse and an outside antenna is not
possible.  I used a BNC T adapter and two 5 foot sections of wire to make
a cheap dipole antenna (468/freq in Mhz).  Attatch one to the center and
the other to the shield.  Mine is no more complicated than a few pieces of
electrical tape.  The whole antenna just pops on top of your hand held unit.

The news that a better antenna increases range is not new to anyone
here.  The news is that with my Pro 43 I could hear activity over 3
blocks (long ones) away when the stock antenna could barely pick up
activity across the street.  Better yet, the setup is portable, cheap,
and expendable and you probably have all the parts in your junk box.

Happy scanning!

Most all programmable scanners should be able to receive the cordles phone
in the 46-49 MGHz. However it is illegal to manufacture "easily"
modifiable radios for the cellular phone..  Best Bet-- try to find a used
scanner that covers these bands
860-890 MGHz through the News Group.  If you find one hold on to it.
These types of scanners are going to become more and more difficult to
find...

Mainly information on building one. I don't have a problem with soldering
IC's or converting RS-232 to TTL or other such things that might be

For your own personal use, nope. However, most scanners now days use
multilayer PC boards and small components using surface mount technology.
Some of the tuned circuits are also critical in component placement, etc.

However, some of the "older" scanners (non synthesized, 1970's vintage)
have nice clean layouts that may be doable....

Have fun!

Tell if if that makes any sense..  A scanner of a transciever in the hands

Noticed the post for the Key West, FL Freqs and it listed the LOJACK freq at

173.075 formerly was an FBI frequency, but the FCC reallocated the
frequency exclusively on a nationwide basis for those auto-theft locator
transmitters.  To my knowledge, LOJACK is the only company making units
for that frequency.  Others use systems in the 902-928 MHz band.

I've been waiting over a year for this to happen, and finally it looks
like a reality.  I've been corresponding with a gentleman from Chicago who
has a Macintosh interface to the Optoelectronics OS456 for the Radio Shack
Pro-2006.  It's called WAVE, and a demo should soon be available on
America Online.  Anyone interested should contact Mike at
[e-mail].  I have no connection with Mike outside of the
correspondence we've had.  If you'd like, I can forward anyone copies of
his descriptions of his software.  It will reportedly support all of the
features of version 1.2 of the card, and follows all Apple guidelines.

Happy Scanning,

You're in the ballpark. Med freqs use pairs, *usually* the base/repeater using
the lower one and the mobile using the higher one.  They are:

med1    463.000 / 468.000

Have had a Bearcat BC560XLT for a while now.
Works great on its limited band coverage.
Anyone with info on expanding its coverage would be
greatly appreciated.

1╛*****************************************************************************
**
I have a PRO-51 with a date code of 7A4.  This seems to be the LAST
date coded model that can take the keyboard mod as I have tried it on
later models with NO success.

Try this:  (1) First try hold LOCK-OUT, 2 and 9 keys down while turning on
power.  Test frequencies should be loaded into the first 25 channels (maybe) .
If channel 23 contains a magic frequency then you can direct search .
*******************************************************************************
******
(2) IF that does NOT work (THIS WILL !!!!!)  hold down BAND, 2 and 9 down
while
turning ON power.  Now, in the digit test mode, all digits of the LCD will
move slowly from the left
to the right of the display.

(3) When the movement advances nearly to the right end of the display,  press
and hold the
LOCK-OUT, 2 and 9 keys until the digit test mode stops...
The display will blink, NOW the radio will begin scanning the factory-preset
frequencies.
        Manually step to channel 23, which will display 888.960 MHz, roughly
the middle of the
cellular band. Start a normal, direct search routine from this frequency to
cover the cellular freq's.

(NOTE) This will wipe out all stored frequencies. You will want to keep CH #
23 open , so you can
do your searches up or down from 888.960. Once you search higher than 896.000
, or lower than
869.000 ,   you will need to manually step to CH # 23 again. (once you search
past those ranges
you need to go back to the middle by going to ch. 23)

After you get the mod complete it is safe to program the scanner back to
wherever you had it, just
keep ch. 23 open for cell.

 Hope this was not too confusing.  HAPPY SCANNING!!  |-)))))))))))

I have a set of Motorola Spirit VHF radios (SP-10??).  These were
originally blue dot units (unfortunately very busy around here).

These units have a four position DIP switch inside the battery
compartment to change frequency (sixteen different combinations).

Does anyone have a table of frequency versus switch settings so that I
can get them on the red or green dot frequency?

I used velcro on the bottom of my 43 to mount it to the center
'console' in my wife's '91 Festiva.  Power is supplied by a 12V-9V
converter semipermanently wired into the cigarette lighter wiring
(along with a noise filter).  I put an antenna splitter behind the
radio and ran a length of coax with a BNC plug up to the console
(believe it or not, this works all right).  I used to have the
sound fed through a CD adapter in the tape deck, but I switched to
the Rat Shack clip-on speaker clipped onto the shoulder belt.

Quick to attach and remove, works all right (although I can't see the
display very easily - and reprogramming it while driving is a
virtual impossibility, although I'm teaching my wife to do this), and
best of all, I didn't have to drill any holes or cut any wiring.

As I replied over on alt.radio.scanner, there is no official NATIONAL
FIREGROUND freq, but typically 154.280 is used for mutual aid in many
areas.

  I've owned both. I like the BC3000XLT better. The 550-760 gap is
  UHF TV. According to someone on CompuServe who spoke to Uniden,
  the UHF TV support in the Pro-26 is why it only has 200 channels
  instead of 400. What a deal... :-(

  The BC3000XLT is worth having over the Pro-26 just for the extra
  200 channels alone.

  If you have access to the CompuServe HAMNET libs, there are a couple
  of BC3000XLT vs. Pro-26 comparison files. If you have any specific
  questions, you can e-mail me directly.

Regarding the Opto computer interfaces for scanners... Yes, both the
Opto OS456 (for the Pro-2005 and Pro-2006) and also the new Opto OS535
(for the Pro-2035) that we provide can decode CTCSS (52 tones), DCS
(106 codes), and DTMF (16 digits/characters).

All the best!

> it wont find 800 megahertz frequencies when doing a frequency search.

I believe the problem is actually that the search engine won't find freqs.
with more than 3 decimal places, i.e. 851.4125. Since most assignments
below 800 MHz are on even kHz steps, the problem doesn't show up there.

The problem is known and a correction is due momentarily (Chuck hasn't
said how it will be distributed, but he has been upfront about acknowledging
the error and working on it).

Whoa, there! Mobile data terminals (MDTs) are the answer to everything
that's been mentioned--

1) They're not saving dispatcher costs by "drastically reducing personnel
needed." Dispatchers are in the comm center, fielding telephone calls and
dispatching on the radio. There are other clerical types that handle
reports. And even then, someone has to verify names, addresses and sign
off on the reports.

2) Most agencies have <not> converted to CAD. Virtually all cities over
100,000 have some type of dispatching automation, but everyone else just
doesn't have the time, money or expertise to computerize. And even with
MDTs, many cities (Las Vegas Metro included) are still using voice,
because it keeps everyone informed of what's going on.

3) I agree, many agencies are computerizing records.

4) Yes, data is "more secure" than clear voice, but the increment is very
slight. "Harder to decode" is more accurate than "secure."

1. Actually, in large dispatch centers for non MDT-equipped agencies,
approximately one in three dispatchers is employed to handle queries
(vehicle registration checks, DL/wanted checks, etc).  An MDT-equipped
fleet can almost entirely eliminate the need for this position, except
for specialized (e.g. warrant verifications or data entry) functions
(which can usually handled by other dispatch personnel).

This can mean a 33% reduction in staffing loads; most people would
consider that a substantial reduction in staffing (and the tax dollars
it takes to pay for it). While I've never heard of a dispatcher losing
a job over MDTs, the technology frequently delays the need for
additional positions.

Many agencies now require officers to enter their reports directly into
the department's computerized reporting system as opposed to dictating
their reports or submitting handwritten report.  This also results in
the elimination of a good chunk of the clerical staff, which generally
isn't part of the dispatch or communications division anyway.

2. CAD packages which run on as little as a single Windows-equipped PC
are available for less than a thousand dollars.  In the midwest, I know
of numerous agencies serving populations of 5000 or less which have
been CAD-equipped for years.  Of course, you can spend hundreds of
thousands of CAD packages which run on substantially more sophisticated
platforms.

4. While mobile data is generally not encrypted, its inherent use of
patented, proprietary protocols (these are NOT the protocols you're
probably familar with such as those employed in wireline modems) means
that 99% of scanner hobbyists will be unable to decode the information
or unwilling to spend the time/money/effort to try to crack the system.
Additionally, large (in either capacity or geographic service area) MDT
systems transmit simultaneously to multiple squads ON A SINGLE CHANNEL
by employing multiple, non-simulcast transmit sites.  This means that,
unless a scanner is located fairly close to the "target" squad, it will
probably be receiving conflicting data from more than one transmitter
simultaneously. And there's not much anyone can do about that. All of
which sounds "more secure" than clear voice communications to me...

Can anyone provide me with a recommendation for a used scanner in about the $200 price range?
I bought a RS Pro-46 about 1 1/2 months ago, and Although I am happy with the frequency ranges
it spans, I think I would like a hyperscan unit better.  And wouldn't you know, the earpiece
on my cell phone just went out, so I cant hear who I am talking to unless I have my scanner set
to the freq I am talking on.  My pro-46 was not modifiable to do this, and that leaves me w/out
mobile communication.  I'll shop for prices elsewhere, but I would appreciate a few recommendations
that may fall into that price range.

Can anyone tell me  what a "fair" price is for the Pro2004 scanner?

The one I'm looking at has already had the cell mod and the scan rate
mod....

It's in really good shape, still had the owners manual, and works of
course.....

Thanks...

P.S.
Are there any further mods that I could make to this radio that would make
it more appealing to me?

I recently (yesterday) bought a PRO2026 scanner from RS. I found a loaction in
an ftp site which said the mod is as simple as cutting L201 on the board.  Only
problem is .... I don't have an L201, just an empty spot where is used to be.
Apparently they redesigned this scanner.  Does anyone know a newer mod for this
unit?  I would appreciate any help.

             REPAIR TIPS: BEARCAT SCANNER RADIOS

       Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole  or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.  Free distribution is encouraged.]


                        Introduction

 The original  Bearcat  scanner  line  was  manufactured  by
 Electra  of  Cumberland, Indiana.  In the mid 1980s, Uniden
 bought out the Bearcat  scanner  line  and  Uniden's  first
 Bearcat scanner was the 800XLT model.

 Most  of  the  models  discussed  in   this   article   are
 base/mobile  units  made  by  Electra  during the 1970s and
 1980s.   Electra  stamped  all  of  its  scanners  with   a
 manufacturing  date  code  on  the rear of the cabinet. The
 code is comprised of a single character  (C  =  Cumberland,
 Indiana, P = Puerto Rico), followed by four digits denoting
 year and week the radio was  built.  For  example,  "P8422"
 denotes  the  radio  was  made  in  the Puerto Rico factory
 during the 22nd week of 1984.


               Schematics and Parts Available

 Schematic diagrams may be  obtained  from  Uniden/Bearcat's
 parts  department, [phone].  Uniden currently charges  |
 a flat rate of $54 for scanner repairs.  They  will  repair  |
 and  return  "out  of  warranty"  items without an estimate  |
 unless the repair charges exceed  the  flat  rate  charges.  |
 The phone number for repair is [phone].

 G & G Communications (telephone [phone]) is a  family  |
 owned  company  which repairs scanners and stocks parts for
 several  older  models,  especially   Electra/Bearcat   and
 Regency  brands.   They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive,
 LeRoy, NY 14482.

 Electronic  Repair  Centers  in  Franklin  Park,   Illinois
 (telephone   [phone])   has   been  repairing  Bearcat
 scanners for several years.  They charge a flat $45  repair
 rate  for  programmable  and  $30 for crystal scanners, and
 shipping is extra.   Electronic  Repair  Centers  will  fix
 Regency scanners if they can obtain the parts.


                  Bad Solder Joints Common

 Before addressing specific symptoms, circuit boards in  the
 malfunctioning  scanner should be inspected for poor solder
 joints.

 The Electra/Bearcat BC350, BC300,  BC250,  BC220,  BC20/20,
 BC211,  BC210,  and BC210XL models were hand assembled, and
 every one I've serviced had several connections  that  were
 either soldered poorly, or not soldered at all.

 Resoldering joints on the ribbon cable  connecting  the  RF
 and keyboard logic circuit boards in a BC250 attenuated the
 microprocessor/synthesizer hash noise noticeably.

 A Bearcat 20/20 was experiencing periodic loss of memory on
 some, but not all channels.  When the problem occurred, the
 frequencies on some channels would be  completely  changed.
 On other channels, the frequency would still be intact, but
 the channel would be locked out, and the delay toggled from
 "on" to "off".  Some channels were not affected.

 The 2 "AA"  memory  backup  batteries,  and  their  holder,
 tested  good.   Much  time was spent tracing logic, heating
 and cooling components, and making voltage measurements.

 One of the secondary leads from the power  transformer  was
 connected  to the main circuit board through a hole drilled
 through foil traces on both the top and bottom sides of the
 board.   A  close  examination  revealed that this lead had
 been soldered only on the top of the  board  -  the  bottom
 side had never been soldered.

 Soldering the lead on both sides of the  board  solved  the
 memory loss problem.


                   Symptom: Blank Display

 The BC300 scanner, and several other Bearcat models, employ
 a  switching  type  power supply stage to generate plus and
 minus voltages  in  excess  of  20  volts  DC.   When  this
 switcher fails to function, the display goes blank, but the
 squelch control appears to work, and  white  noise  can  be
 heard in the speaker.

 In almost a dozen of the BC300 scanners I've fixed, C98,  a
 capacitor  in  series  with  the  primary  of the switching
 transformer failed, causing the output  of  the  supply  to
 drop  below  the  level  needed  to power the display.  The
 switching transformer is mounted on the RF  circuit  board,
 and  is much, much smaller than the main power transformer,
 which is  usually  fastened  to  the  metal  chassis.   The
 22uF/16V  capacitor  used  for  C98  in  early  BC300s  was
 marginal, and was replaced with  a  47uF/25V  capacitor  in
 later units.

 I replaced the 22  uF  capacitor  in  the  switching  power
 supply  stage  of  a BC210XL which caused the same symptom.
 Other capacitors in the switcher stage have failed.   C114,
 a  4.7  uF/35V  tantalum  capacitor  failed in at least one
 BC250, causing the display to blank.

 A more sinister problem affects  the  switcher  in  earlier
 models.   The  switching  supply  stage  in  the  BC250 and
 original BC210 is driven by a clock signal derived  from  a
 custom  Exar NC57902 divider integrated circuit (designated
 IC6 in the BC250 scanner).  I've seen this divider IC  fail
 in  several  BC250s,  causing a blank display (except for a
 decimal point in the BC250's rightmost digit).  This custom
 IC is no longer available from Uniden.


            Symptom: Invalid Frequency Displayed

 A common Bearcat 250 malady is  manifested  by  an  invalid
 frequency  displayed  on  the  readout.  This  condition is
 temporarily "cured" by unplugging the AC line cord from the
 wall, then replugging it.  This condition is symptomatic of
 a power supply problem in which Q204, a  Texas  Instruments
 TIP-29 located on the feature circuit board, fails.

 A Philips ECG291 will work as a substitute for the  TIP-29.
 Don't  try a Radio Shack substitute, it hasn't worked.  See
 Martin Toomajian's article, "Bearcat  250  Erratic  Display
 Cure", in January 1987 Monitoring Times.

 A similar  problem  in  the  Bearcat  20/20  was  discussed
 previously in the section on bad solder joints.


        Symptom: Squelch Won't Eliminate White Noise

 Most Uniden/Bearcat base/mobile scanners  feature  an  AUTO
 squelch  position,  actuated  by  rotating the squelch knob
 fully  counter  clockwise.   The  BC350  used  a   separate
 pushbutton  switch  for this purpose.  These scanners use a
 flimsy potentiometer (designated R81 in BC300s)  internally
 mounted on the RF circuit board, to set the level of signal
 required to open the squelch when  in  the  AUTO  position.
 This  pot  also  has an effect on the squelch action in the
 non-AUTO mode, and determines at which  point  the  squelch
 knob must be positioned in order to silence the radio.

 Although the potentiometer  is  adjusted  at  the  factory,
 changes  in component values due to aging often necessitate
 readjustment of this internal pot.  Misadjustment  of  this
 pot  has  been  the cause of "no squelch" complaints in two
 BC300s and a BC250 I fixed.

 Another squelch failure is due to a blown  transistor  that
 acts  as  the  electronic switch in the squelch circuit.  I
 replaced this transistor in only one BC300, so I don't know
 if this is a common problem.


              Symptom: Scanner Completely Dead

 In Bearcat scanners using an internal power  supply  (e.g.,
 BC350,   BC250,   etc.),  the  main  power  transformer  is
 connected directly to the AC line.  Since the on/off switch
 is  on the secondary side of the transformer, current flows
 in the primary as long as the AC line cord is plugged  into
 an   active  AC  outlet.   These  transformers  contain  an
 internal circuit breaker,  not  visible  without  unwinding
 (destroying)  the  transformer.   The  internal  breaker is
 known to fail prematurely  in  a  batch  of  Bearcat  power
 transformers.

 If your scanner is completely dead, check  the  primary  of
 this transformer for an open circuit condition.


                  Symptom: Keyboard Bounce

 After  much  use,  the  Chromerics  keyboards  in   Bearcat
 scanners  start  to wear out.  The first sign of trouble is
 usually keyboard bounce on the most  frequently  used  key,
 e.g.,  the  MANUAL  key.  Replacement keyboards are usually
 available from UNIDEN, but replacement requires  dexterity,
 as  one must take care not to tear the flat, flexible strip
 connecting the keyboard to the logic board.


          Symptom: Keyboard Completely Unresponsive

 The keyboard matrix is  "scanned"  by  the  microprocessor.
 Another problem is when none of the keys seems to function;
 the  receiver  just  keeps  scanning  in   spite   of   key
 depressions.   I  found this condition in a BC210XL scanner
 owned by a heavy smoker.  Perhaps  nicotine  smoke  was  to
 blame, as the resistance between two input port pins on the
 microprocessor was down to about  1000  ohms,  fooling  the
 microprocessor  into  believing that a key was stuck in the
 "down" position.  Scraping the circuit  board  between  the
 two pins with an X-Acto knife fixed the problem.


                       Other Problems

 Complaints of low audio output and occasional  microphonics
 in  two  Uniden/Bearcat 800XLTs were caused by a bad 47 ufd
 electrolytic  capacitor  in  series  between  the  external
 speaker jack and audio amplifier.

I don't know about NASCAR , but, CART/IndyCar has a scanner booth that is
a racket. The thing I didn;t like about it was the outrageous prices they
charged. $289.00 for a BC200XLT. Geez. Another thing that pissed me off about
IndyCar was that a freq chart was $35.00!!! Like the $50 for the ticket
to watch it wasn't enough. I almost got booted when I let a guy copy the
freqs from my scanner. I actually had security ready to throw me out. The
only thing that saved me was that I made a scene and I was in the pit area
and a few of the pit crews and drivers asked what the hell was going on.
I mean, what the hell could they arrest me for??? Distributing public
frequencies?? The dude at the booth claimed I had "stolen" the
frequencies!! Ahhh. Well at least some dude from PPG realized what the
hell was happening and apologized to me.

Well:

Consider this one.  It's not hypothetical.  I read in the Washington Post
recently about a Loudon Co, Virginia (just ouside of D.C. about 40 miles)
sheriff's deputy who 'accidentally heard' on a cellular frequency a rapist
and the victim arguing on the phone.

As the story goes the deputy noticed a 13 yr old female walking along the
road so the deputy picked her up and gave her a ride home. The deputy
noticed the girl was upset but couldn't find out what was wrong.   Upon
leaving the residence she intercepted a "cellular" phone call between the 13 yr and a 19
yr old male who had just raped her not an hour before.  Charges were brought
against the 19 year old male and his accomplice who drove the car, a 17 year
old (I think?) female.  The case is still pending.

I read this in the post which stated it was a "cellular" interception and thought that maybe it was a cordless instead of
cellular phone interception that the deputy heard.  The statistics of
intercepting one of many cellulars is phenomenal and besides cellular is
illegal.  Not that law enforcement is beyond breaking the law, but this
combined with the statistics, makes me believe it was probably a cordless
phone interception.

Anyway, food for thought.

The only agencies allowed to own equipment capabale of receiving cellular
call are law enforcement and govt agencies. My guess is it will hold up
in court.

Not exactly - on either count.

First, not just any "government" agency is allowed to own
cellular interception equipment.  It's restricted to law
enforcement (by definition a government agency) and to
cellular service providers.

Second, if there was no warrant for the interception, the
conversation could be excluded from evidence at trial.

I thought you could listen to anything you could receive without invasive
techniques.  I.e.: if I can pick it up and decode it, it's fair game.  The
cable tv regs follow this too afaik.  Can someone throw me some info on the
legality of this?

    As a previous poster has noted in another message, not without a warrant
it won't. I didn't follow ALL the details, but this (and not the restriction
of our ability to buy cellular capable scanners) is the REAL significance of
the ECPA.

You're forgetting the recently passed H.R. 666 which in short removes the
technicality issues such as the above. It's worded to give law enforcement
previously unheralded powers to prosecute.

Well I think that it should be the **OWNER**'s broblem if people recieve
these frquencies.. If people dont want people to pick them up buy a
cordless phone that is worth more that the Zellers special.. Like a
Cordless with Encription, etc.

Was wondering if anyone has followed the general mod for restoring Cell
to the Uniden BC200XLT?  Tried following the established mod from a mod
server but think I clipped the wrong resistor.  The mod says to clip
the resistor above 'DEN' on the word 'UNIDEN' located on the processor,
but when I looked there were two positioned above the 'DEN' one to the
left and one to the right.  The one on the right was black the one on
the left was brown.  Since the one on the right (next to a screw) was
positioned more over the word 'DEN', I decided to clip it.  When I
reassembled the radio, nothing.  The entire radio died.

Now, I've returned the radio and am ready to try again.  I figured I'd
ask someone who has completed this operation succesfully for any tips
before continuing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

More than you probably wanted to know follows:  :(
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joe McAesthete asked about the USGS Aftershock Alerting System:
[snip]
" They used radio for that, and I'd presume the new system also would so
" they wouldn't have to deal with network propagation delays.  Anyone know
" anything about it?  If it's a tone or a data burst on an otherwise quiet
" freq it'd be spiffy to pick it up.

The Earthquake Aftershock Alerting system was first deployed following
the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. It consisted of four distinct components:
1) Seismometers and VHF telemetry transmitters placed within the
epicentral area. 2) Receivers and the central processor at the USGS
headquarters in Menlo Park. 3) A microwave link to the Monument Peak VHF
repeater. 4) The alerting receivers that were deployed in the field
(mainly for the protection of workers in and around the collapsed Cypress
Street structure in Oakland).

The CPU algorithm eliminated triggers for seismic waves that originated
outside the epicentral region. Some might argue that incoming wave from
another earthquake would have been helpful but the primary focus of this
experiment was to identify and alert teams about incoming waves from an
already occurring aftershock with a magnitude greater than M3.7

The telemetry was sent to Menlo Park via low power FM (typically less than
250 milliwatts). The USGS telemetry was/is not encrypted and the signals are
easily decoded and displayed on a PC screen with freeware from the internet
(but that's another story...).

Once the central processor determined that the data met the criteria, an
alert was transmitted. The repeater uplink was a microwave link to Monument
Peak. The downlink was one of the VHF USGS freqs used routinely in the Bay
Area. The specific freq isn't important because the transmitters and
receivers are programmable for any of the USGS or Dept. of the Interior freqs.
Furthermore, monitoring the channel wouldn't be of great help unless the
receivers were capable of decoding the tones. Yep. Some of you have that
ability...

The alert receivers carried multiple PL tones. Some tones were sent
every 60 sec. to verify that the link was up and active. Earthquake alarms
were triggered when the receivers were sent a different set of tones.
Obviously, it would be possible to monitor the freq and identify the
tones but the USGS was not very forthcoming with the information for
concern that someone might decide to hack away and send false triggers
just for kicks... After all, the world *does* still have a few dweebs who
take pleasure in that sort of thing.

There's a lot of potential to use a system like the one developed by the
USGS. One scenario was for regular broadcast stations to maintain a link
to the alert receivers so that an immediate alert could be broadcast.
digital security would be needed to keep the dweebs from sending bogus trips.

(Aside)
Another offshoot of the aftershock warning system (bad pun unintended) has
been deployed by a local Bay Area police dept. to triangulate gunshots.
Microphones places about the community "monitor" activity. The sonic
report get triangulated and the "good guys" respond - usually from data
from the mobile data terminals...

SRI (Stanford Research Institute) got the good press for the application
but the bulk of the research came from USGS work.

(back to the thread)
Rather than monitoring the alert tones it's more fun to actually decode the
USGS telemetry and display realtime seismograms at home or work.
With the available software you can have your PC trigger for *any* large
earthquake and be able to plot distance to source by moving pointers on
the display.

The USGS Aftershock Alerting System is currently sitting in the basement
of the Seismology building in Menlo Park waiting to be deployed. During
its first six months after deployment it successfully alerted teams to 12
aftershocks with magnitudes greater than M3.7. It did not trigger on M3.6
or smaller events because they were below the programmed threshold. There
was one false alarm due to a "bug" that was successfully corrected.

Unfortunately, not all large earthquakes in urban areas lend themselves
to its use. Ideally, it works best when the center of activity is some
distance away from the populated area. The greater the distance between
the place of origin and the alert receivers the longer you have to get
ready for the incoming waves. In the SF Bay Area typical warnings were
only 20 - 27 secs. Not a lot of time unless you're one of the ones
working on the rubble piles. The thrust fault under the LA basin is *not*
a good candidate for such a system since the time between the arrival of
the seismic waves and the alert signals are so small due to the short
distances involved.

If you want to see if you can hear any of the many seismic telemetry
transmitters use the search mode on your scanner and look between:
        162.000 and 174.000
        216.000 and 220.000
        406.100 and 420.000

(Simplistic explanation...)
Many of the sites multiplex several signals on one carrier. Some only
have one tone per RF carrier. Listen for a tone or set of tones. The
seismic sensors output a voltage to a voltage-to-frequency convertor. As
the voltage changes, so changes the frequency of the output signal. All you
have to do is demodulate the signal, connect the output voltage from your
demodulator to an analog-to-digital card in your PC, crank up your
freeware software, and bingo... watch the lines squiggle across the screen.

It's a bit more complicated, and of course you need to be within line of
sight of one of the low power transmitters. But, it's not *all* that
difficult. There's a support group out there for seismo buffs. Most use
their own sensors but a few monitor the telemetry. If your interested you
might check out the PSN BBS system. There's 4 nodes around the country.

Three weeks ago i was on vacation in south florida. On my way to the everglades
is saw a box near the street. It was about 2 feet each side and stood on
a pole, about 3 feet high. Ontop of the box there was a mast about 10 feet
high with a cross-yagi on it. The yagi had an elevation of 30 to 40 degrees.
There was something written on the box about "geographical survey......".
Is this such an earthquake-detection device ???

This is probably a water level gage. In the old days, the data was
recorded on a punched tape, and someone had to visit these sites every so
often to collect the data. I believe the data now is transmitted up to
the GOES satellite, where it is relayed to the USGS. You often see a
small concrete building on or near a bridge with the yagi pointed
skyward.

Mike,

Since you seem to be a fellow Mac user, I'll ask you a question I've had

reasonably fast?  Can one run a search for a frequency in a certain

     How did you get codes for the freqs? I haven't had time to find, much
loess copy and mail the manual (do you still need it?). Or did you just let it
scan as set? Thesre is a shareware program out there called "BC101.BAS" that
will tell you the switch settings if you input the frequnecy. What are you
using as an antenna?

Couple of ppl sent me the diagram scheme.  It's easy, but yes there is a
basic program to do it.  Yes, I really do need the manual when you get a
chance.  I took phillips screwdriver and stuck it in the antenna

I'm selling a BearCat handheld scanner for $270. Model BC 2500 XLT.
It is new in appearance, and has only a few hours of use on it.
The cheap price reflects two things: 1) the channel/frequency selector
wheel is not working--you have to use the keypad to select your channels
and frequencies 2) no Uniden warantee.
I've been testing it out and everything else works just fine.

The history of the unit--I bought it new from someone local. It has
a warantee card in the box, but no receipt for the factory warantee.
It may have been a factory reject or something, because of the
selector dial. The only use it has seen is from my testing.

I would prefer to sell it to someone in the Boston area, so we can
deal in person. Otherwise, you would need to send me a postal
money order first, before I will send you the scanner. I do have
references on the NET as a legitimate buyer/seller of goods.

email [e-mail] if interested.

It comes with box/manual/antenna/AC adapter/Ni-Cd battery pack/case.

Lines: 43


I bought the pro46 on Dec 30/93
the serial no. is 35003188
 followed by          6A3     underneath

On the inside backcover it is written MI-25740G1-HP UB 222

Is the unit modifiable ?

I was following a mod taken from May 1993 Monitoring Times

I desoldered 2 of the 4 corners of the shield covering the
 Uniden 1489 microprocessor and I saw a BLUE chip jumper to the left of the
microprocessor,  labelled
600J and underneath
 an encircled M followed by a D (or O?)

I cut out one of the leads of that jumper but after reassembly
I had no power at all (blank display and mute speaker)
So after resoldering the cut lead the gadget works fine as before

(I used a 15 watt soldering iron )

There is also a device labelled C B
                                2 Y

to the right of the uP but i do not think it is a a chip jumper because
it has 3 leads (it is black coloured)


I would greatly appreciate an explanation of the circuit in the mod
because it is totally unclear to me after pondering over it for a few
weeks: The first thing that matters is to locate those 2 jumpers. Also

what it that IC in the diagram ?

141.850 AM verified at the air show at Holloman AFB (NM) last
Saturday (6-3-95).  Lots of "more pull" and "smoke on/off ready now"
type traffic heard.  Not very verbose, but it gives you some indication
of their next maneuvers.

I had good luck listening on 141.85, so that seems like a good shot.
It's fun to hear them say "smoke on", "smoke off", or "roll!" and then
seeing the planes do exactly what they said.  The pilots sound very
professional and cool during all this and I never heard an "oh sh*t!".

I strongly suggest using a good set of earphones because the plane and
crowd noise can be overpowering and some of your neighbors may not
want to hear your radio.

Special Industrial licensees from low-band all the way up to
800 MHZ frequencies.

A large computer printout, or a disk that can be easily read and

be excellent.

If you have anything like this please contact me and we can discuss
what exactly you have, and costs/shipping.

Thanks.

I would like to get a radio with HF and sideband to receive Military. I
now have a BC3000 and a Radio Shack DX-380. The 380 doesn't have
sideband.  Are some of the smaller portables ,like the 380 only with
sideband, anygood for this or should I save my money for a better
desktop unit like an Icom.  I would like to save some money but I have
gotten to the point that better now means more to me than cheaper. As
long as it doesn't cost TOO much more.

well, if is overpriced, is a problem that you have to deal with Icom, I
already sold 9 units and everybody is very happy with it, they said, that
an Icom IC R1 BLOCKED, are priced at $419.95 as an special limited-time
offer, and like a said this unites are blocked and the ones I'm offering
ARE NOT. You can check in Popular Communications of July 1995, page 21.

Yes, you can monitor it,  get a triple conversion scanner with Turbo or
Hyper scan,leave the delay off and hit scan . If they use encryption, your
town got suckered out of extra millions and there is nothing you can do
about it. They can use it  at whim. They probably won't, they will find
out the encryption is a load ofcrap, a big expensive toy that breaks a
lot.

The following brought on a fleeting thought about band allocations in
other countries besides the U.S.  I know that much the allocation of the
RF spectrum is by international treaty.  But there are some differences.
In the U.S. when we talk about the FM band, we automatically assume the
freqs are 88 to 108.  But in Japan, and maybe other countries, the freqs
go lower, something like 87 or so.

What I thought, is that there needs to be a chart somewhere that tells of
the frequencies of the different bands and their allocations.  This is
easy to find for myself in the U.S., but I wouldn't have the slightest
clue about what the airband freqs are in the U.K., as mentioned below.

For those in the English speaking countries, there shouldn't be much
problem getting info and trading with other English speaking countries.
But others, I dunno.

I can make some blanket statements about band allocations, mainly
pertaining to the HF and below.  They're pretty much the same worldwide,
so that different services will work worldwide.  But starting at 30 MHz
and up, things are somewhat different from country to country.  Such
things as the TV bands are different because they use different
transmission methods.  U.S. TV channels are 6 MHz spacing.

Is there some place where we can go to find out this information?  Say
I'd like to know what the airbands are in the U.K. - can I just find a
ham directory on a U.K. system with info on their band allocations?
Probably not?

Back to the following.  I bought a Radio Scrap Patrolman radio, long ago
when scanners were rare and expensive.  This is a multiband radio that
has FM BCB and VHF HI, LO, and UHF.  The same FM detector and IF is used
for all four bands.  The VHF and UHF bands are practically useless in
this metro area bacause the bandwidth is so wide that multiple stations
come in on the receiver.  There is no way to tune it accurately.  So yes,
the following situation is very true.

You can scrounge a UHF tuner from an old TV set and connect it to a 9 volt
battery or other power supply to get it running.  Then feed the
downconverted output into another receiver to get enough gain to hear a
reasonable signal.  You won't be able to set it accurately, since the
tuning is just too sloppy for narrowband FM.  But you can play around with
it to see how it works.  And the price is right: free.  The old tuners
were analog mechanical designs, with the capability to tune to CH 83,
which is on the high end of 800 MHz.  The newer tuners are all
electronic, and can't tune higher than Ch 69.

I think you mean slip back or fold back the exposed braid over the
outer jacket instead of stripping (removing) it.

Hi Dave

I did a modification on my MX7000 scanner to increase the scan speed
about 6 months ago. This was accomplished by changing the value of a
small disc ceramic capacitor on the display board. I got the instructions
for the modification from a FTP site - I can't remember which one. If you
want, email me and I'll whip the lid of my set and let you know what
capacitor it is.

I've not seen any modifications for increasing the channel memory. If you
hear of any, manage to get a schematic diagram please let me know.

regards

Alistair  (G7GAR) Malvern, England

From memory me neither but different value's wil result in different
"speeds". Be careful though not to go too fast as the PLL circuits will
not lock up which will mean you will hear "clipped" transmissions but
the radio will not stop on that particular channel/frequency.

I have some experiance developing stackes with HyperCard, and I would like
to help them develop and test the programs.

Please let me know were I can send E-mail messages to any one of them.

Actually ANY AR8000, regardles of original destination country can be
UNBLOCKED, if you have the right software. Once unblocked, it will remain
unblocked. Check out Scan*Star:

My EDCO interface cable appears to have failed AGAIN.  Several weeks ago
I returned it to EDCO. It was returned "No Trouble Found", although it
did work upon return. (They added hot glue to the point where the flat
cable exits the RS232 connector for restraint).

Worked OK for a couple of weeks but it now appears to have died again.

Guess based on what I've been reading here that it would make sense to
order the Opto CX12AR interface.

Except I'm now wondering if there's a method of testing to see whether
the problem with the EDCO interface is the interface cableor whether it
is the flat cable connector in the radio.

Hi there folks,

I have two hypothetical questions:

1. Can ANYBODY help me with the modification of the Sportcat (BC150Y) to
   receive between 54-76MHz range? This is the Ambulance Frequency range is
   South Africa.

2. Does anybody have any ideas how I could unscramble GSM cellular network
   signals which I am picking up here in the Republic of South Africa on the
   450MHz range? I can hear the people talking, but it is quite muffled. It
   sounds almost like listening to the normal radio signal in an Upper or
   Lower Side Band Mode.

ANY information, will be greatly appreciated

ROB

To All:

I recently acquired a Bearcat 300 scanner.  This is my first time I have
had my own scanner, and unfortunately this one did not come with
instructions.  I would appreciate any information anyone could pass
along to me about this scanner.  Programming instructions would be
deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

They're widely available, including the ATTENTION to Details BBS on the

I'm new to this group so if this is a well worn question please bear with
me.  I have an old Radio Shack Pro 31 scanner that I use almost
exclusively for monitoring the local railroad frequencies (160. 161.).
Most of the time I'm walking through mountainous (lots of tunnels) and
forested areas at least twenty miles from the transmitter.  Needless to
say, reception is not great.  So my question to you is this: Are there
any of those rubber antennas made for specific freq's, or are there any
other ways to improve reception in remote areas.  Thanks for the help.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no SFPD officers using bicycles.
We have "meter maids" that use bikes, but they've been demoted to their
own play-pen in the city bureaucracy - the (drum roll) Department of
Parking and Traffic (DPT).  Seems the armed cops were getting tired of
rolling units to handle blocked driveways, etc.

The police (and other organizations) don't "hang out" on freqs as they
please.  San Francisco is divided into police juridistictions - I for
example, live in the Haight, in the "Park/Northern" division (assigned to
PIC 4, 460.075).

According to the nice folks at the SFPD radio room, PIC 8 (460.550) is
assigned to Vice/Narcotics.  PIC 7 (460.525) is assigned to DPT.

Enjoy.

Does anyone know how to follow trade-offs on 800 mhz freqs. I believe
it's some form of trunking. How does this system work so the average

Scan 460 - 460.5 for most all of the Chicago PD freqs.  They tend to be very
busy so you won't have any trouble spotting them.

Also try 856.9375, 857.9375, 858.9375, 859.9375 and 860.9375.  These are
drug stakeout surveilance freqs.  They are trunked so scan them all.

Finally broke down and bought a Pro2006 (RS Canada $399 Canadian).
Now a connection to my PC would be a wonderful thing.

What hardware options are there?  How many $$$'s.

         This is the VHF simulcast of the Citywide 1 channel (460.325)
         for DC police.  I think it also operates as a seperate

         for field units that operate on a seperate VHF system for

159.150  Is Wash DC Citywide Channel-1 this is the simulcast Freq.
The actual Freq. is 460.325  This Freq. is used by any DC Police Officer
not assigned to a regular patrol District Channel.
Some Officers have duties that require Citywide service. So they monitor
this Freq. And may also monitor the Freq of the Patrol District they are
passing thru.
Hope this helps.

I cannot post this msg to phl.scanner so i am going to ask it here.
In an earlier post i had a few questions about Delco PD operations. While
i *do* have all the delco PD freqs. (just dont know what some are used
for yet) I do no tthink that i have all the fire freqs.
what i do have is listed below:
                        *506.8125  Fire  F1

                        *462.975   ???   ???

        Frequencies with the (*) are those that i hear in use regularly.
The F1-2-3 freq. *are* F1-2-3. I am not sure if the other 500mhz freq are
used as the F# listed.
        I was wondering if anyone out there has any additional fire/ems
freq.  I am looking for Delco F11. There was a bad accident in Darby Twp.
a short while ago and the dispatcher rold all crew on scene to switch to
F11, i then heard no more. Obviously, i am missing some freq. any help
would be greatly appreciated.

p.s.--> i have already looked in police call, and have the old
preliminary freq. lists from the county(useless, outdated).

thanks in advance...

first off, i want to say that i do *not* have access to phl.scanner or
else that is where this post would be.

my question involves the Delaware Co. 500mhz dispatching. The county
dispatches 5 sectors, each with their own frequencies. there are also 5
mutual aid channels. my question involves the mutual aid channels
specifically. The channels are:
                                M-1  508.1875
                                M-2  508.0625
                                M-3  506.7875
                                M-4  506.6375
                                M-5  506.6125
recently, as of today in fact, i have heard transmissions on the M-1
channel being scrambled. The scrambled communications sound identical to
that of Ridley Township (self dispatched). I was wondering if the county
is going to scramble all calls like Ridley has done for the past 2 years,
or was Ridley just using the M-1 frequency for some reason?
        I have an old preliminary list from when the county first set up
the 500mhz frequencies that lists only 4 mutual channels. this, of
course, is out of date. police call lists 5 mutual channels, and i have
heard them all referred to as mutual 1-5.
        i was also wondering if anyone knows whether or not the county
wants to centralize all dispatching. there are still a few townships that
are independant of the county (marple, ridley, radnor, haverford, media
boro, springfield). one more thing, why does Upper Darby township get
dispatched by the county on the vhf high band (159.090)...why not on the
500mhz band?
i thank anyone who responds, and to anyone who needs info such as which
dept is what number or which fire co. is what number, i have all of them
handy.

Anyone know how to capture weak signals on base and portable scanners.
I've tried a cable amplifier from Radio Shack with a little success.
However, it only works on certain frequency ranges. Looking for
something simple, yet effective. Nick

There is only ONE solution. "An outdoor base station antenna. The higher
the better". Signal amplifiers also amplify noise
and therefore are not very useful.

As a result, I am getting large
amounts of white noise and other kinds of interference.

Remember; NYC has GOBS of RF floating around.  Since you've added a higher
gain antenna than the rubber duck that came with it (or whatever it was),
you are going to gain reception on virtually ALL frequencies.  I don't
think you need a filter.  I think you need to either attenuate your
antenna (by pushing the attenuator button if you have one or by putting
one in line with the antenna feed line) or use your stock antenna.

Do you actually get better reception on any frequencies with your dipole?
do you actually need it in the city?  these are questions you'll have to
ask yourself.  Remember; if you attenuate your signal from the dipole,
you're kind of defeating its purpose.

hope this helps

Subject: Here is more info on Pro 2032 mod
Date: Mon, 05 Jun 95 18:33:00 -0400


The mod to expand the rf coverage is fairly simple.  Under the RF shield
behind the squelch - volume knobs (bottem of radio) there is a square
chip (1).  Diagonally below that (2) are two small rectangular
things lying vertically and then three to the right lying horizontally (3)
Immediately to the right of that is a chip diode which must be removed (4).

Immediately below this diode are three rows of horizontal"double dashes" (5) ,
and just below these a vertical column of 5 "circles" (solder pads) (6).


Immediately to the right of the top two "circles" is a series of verticle
"stripes" : from left to right, three short, one medium and three long (7)

Connect a 1N914 diode between the top "circle" and the third (left-to-right)
short vertical "stripe".  Connect the diode cathode (marked with a
black band) to the "circle", the anode to the "stripe".


   (1) microprocessor chip, 3/4" square, marked GRE 1908

   (2) "below" = toward rear panel. For proper reference position the
       chassis upside down with the rear panel toward you.

   (3) the first 2 lie 1/4" along a diagonal extended from the lower
       right-hand corner of the chip, and are marked 102. The 3 horizontal
       ones are in a vertical column positioned 1/16" to the right of
       the first 2; the top 2 are marked 107 & 473.

   (4) this is a 3-legged diode, unmarked, with 2 of the legs placed to
       the right. Remove by unsoldering.

   (5) the 1st row is less than 1/16" below the 3-legged diode.

   (6) the top pad is less than 1/16" below the 3rd row of "double-dashes"

   (7) the vertical "stripes" are actually lengths of copper conductor on
       the printed circuit board with a solder pad on each end.  The
       first 3 (left to right) are so short that they appear as 2 pads
       joined together; the copper on the pcb can be seen in the next 4.

I have added clarifying comments to those furnished by JIM KENZIG : many
thanks to him.  I have just done the mod on my 2032, and it works !!!

Ltdardstar,

Ramsey Electronics in Victor, New York sells such kits in the ~$40 range.
Enclosure for the kit is ~$15.

Grove Enterprises, 1-800-438-8155, sells the GRE 9001 SuperConverter for
~$100 including S&H.  The GRE 9001 is sold specifically to enable the
entire 800 MHz band.

Hope this helps.

Grove has in their current lineup something called "shortwave converter"
that can attach to certain scanners and tune much of the 3-30Mhz shortwave
band. It lists for $99 US. Anyone tried this and if so what do you think?
Its theory of operation seems to be similar to the "scanverter" that brings
800Mhz down to 400Mhz.

Thanks.

It would be real helpful to yourself if you told us what kind of scanner

you got.Brand and model# is a good start.There is probably a a decal or

plaque on the back that can tell you this.If the radio is a radio shack

product it will say PRO-## If its bearcat/uniden it will say BC-###

Is this scanner a portable(walkie talkie)type or is it a base/mobile unit.

You can increase the range by using a decent external antenna.Let us

know what you got so we can help you out a little better.You might want

to read the other post in these newsgroups to get an idea on what is

possable and not possable in the world of scanning.

Take care,

Hi...

I just use one of the CD to cassette adaptors that plug into the headset
jack of most scanners.  Provided your car stereo has a cassette player.  It
works pretty well, although if your stereo cranks it can sometimes blow you
away!  C-Ya.

Now I just have to get myself an 800 MHz capable scanner, and find my way
to LA so I can monitor this fire department I've read so much about on
the Web!

I read in the "communications center" section of the page that LA sends
voice dispatches to the stations via dedicated phone lines.  Does this
mean that the only dispatches that go out via radio are dispatches for
units that are not in quarters at the time of the dispatch?

I apologize if this question is "prying" too much.  I was just curious as
to how the dispatchers handle the radio vs. phone line decision in LA.

I, like many others once believed that you were allowed to personally
use a patent without permission of the patent owner. However, L.V.
Cipriani looked at some of the patent laws (att!cbgbcs!lvc) and discovered
that this is a widespread myth, that there is _NO_ exemption for
personal use...

I hear stuff from upper NY and VT all the time from Ottawa, Canada. This is
around 150+ air miles from here. What do I hear? Tankers, Pireps to ground
stations, and my favourite "Furballs" there is a lot of air combat training
by both the Syracuse ANG and the Burlington ANG. This stuff can be real
exciting, don't expect to hear the ground stations, but airborne stuff can
pound in, esp the AWACS a/c. So check it out

I've just bought one of these from a Radio Rally, it's on 160 mhz and I want
to reprogram it for the 2m band (144-146Mhz).

There are 2 jack sockets at the top, 2.5mm & 3.5mm I think - someone suggested
that you can reprogram it through one of these.

If I take the unit out of the case, there is an edge connector at the bottom
of the unit.

Anyone know :-
A) where can I get the programming software, I've got a rs232 to TTL convertor.

B) What sort of lead I would need, & where to connect it to.

C) on the side of the unit there is a big grey ptt switch and a (squelch
defeat?) button at the top. Between these two is another button, if I press
this the light on the top panel goes amber for a few seconds - what does it do?

Please E-Mail me the info - I would be very VERY Grateful

Best regards -

 I was wondering if anyone knowledge of a BBS or database of frequenices
for New Mexico ? I was looking mostly for Kit Carson National Forest, (Taos,
Tres Piedres area). I'd guess southern Colorado (Alamosa area) would also
be handy. I'm getting ready for some camping. Any 2 meter repeaters would also
be good.

Version 3.1 is the first in multi-lingual Scouts.  Version 1-3 can only
output CI-V commands.  Upon startup with a 3.1, one can select AOR mode,
allowing Reaction Tuning on a hand held for the first time.  With all
the 2-ways supporting some type of serial interface, who knows what
radios they may support in the future.

Oh, because of the differences between 3.0 and 3.1, upgrades ARE NOT
available.  For those with a v1-3 Scout however, Opto will be releasing
shortly the ARCX cable for around $37.  This adapter will translate CI-V
commands (from the Scout) to an outgoing AOR command (to the AR8k/2700).

Hope this helps....

   Mike, thanks for the great reply!   Do you know when 3.1 will

higher? thanks once again... george-

   JSoft Technologies has a commercial-grade POCSAG decoder for sale.  The
decoding is done on a 386/486 PC and the hardware component is a
surface mounted board in a DB9 serial connector.  Here are the specs:

 - Displays and/or Stores POCSAG Pager Traffic
 - Handles 512, 1200, and 2400 bps POCSAG
 - All Alpha and Numeric Data
 - Filter CAP Code, Range of CAP Codes, or Text
 - VERY low Error Rate - DC Coupled
 - Requires PC, and Radio/Scanner Descriminator Connection

This unit was designed for commercial pager shops, although much lower
cost than the Hark or other commercial diagnostic hardware.

    Completely different design, different product.  JSoft emulates the
commercial units (Hark, etc) and requires DC coupling into the radio's
descriminator.  The JSoft unit also is a full bit datascope to monitor
sync patterns, etc...

It depends on the department and the capabilities of their equipment.
But yes, many agencies and commercial users, that are encrypting, use DES
encryption.  Lesser capable folks might use inversion, etc.

Well, the Portland, Oregon PD/FD/whoever-else-is-on-their-20-channel-
trunked-system has really made it unpleasant (to say the least) to
monitor their trunked system.  This past weekend, they started
broadcasting NOAA weather radio on an unused frequency and then
randomly changing it to another unused frequency every so often (say,
5-15 minutes).  So your scanner is guaranteed to lock-up at least once
through the frequencies... and if you hit "pass", you'll be fine until
the darn thing changes frequencies again.  What a pain!

Another thing that's weird: their control channel hasn't moved in over
three weeks.  Also, I occasionally hear what appears to be digital
(probably encrypted) transmissions, but they always occur on the same
frequency.  I haven't yet determined if normal voice also occurs on
that particular channel or not.  Strange.

So now I have even MORE reason to figure out how to decode the control
channel data stream so I can monitor just the talk groups I'm interested
in... so, if you have any info on how I might go about doing that, let
me know!

Oh here you go man.......
I bought mine about 3-4 weeks ago.  Like it alot, but...

Try to avoid rechargeable batteries.  The sucker eats them.  Gotta drain and
recharge every night it seems.  I think because the thing is plugged into my
head most of the time.

The speaker seams a little weak for its ability to overcome normal car noise.
This may be because of the rechargeable batteries that I am starting to
dislike.  I use an earjack or one of those small external speakers through the
external jack.

If your going to run it off the cigarette lighter, get a damn good power
supply for it.  Engine noise will make you throw it out the window.  I would
also recommend getting the AC adapter for it.  Makes home listening easier
while it charges the batteries.

Functions are good.  I like the continuous coverage, however I thought at one
time I found a skip somewhere but have not been able to relocate it.  May have
been operator error.

Has good sensitivity with the factory rubber duck entenea.

No factory problems found to date other than the battery cover flys off if you
get to rough with it.

Radio Manager
Scan Wear
Scan Cat Gold
Scan Star Commercial

Also I heard about another program called Probe
I would like to check out them if they have a demo.
Is it a Dos or Windows program and what features it has and the cost.

If anyone has any info could you please send it to me or the location
of the demo if there is one.

Probe is manufacture by Datafile out of St. Louis, Missouri.

Unfortunately, there is no Demo of Probe available.  I own a couple
Radio programs and Probe is one of them.  Probe has been designed
specifically for the OS456 (and soon will support the OS535).

Because of pending litigation with another software manufacture,
(NOT Datafile, Signal Intelligence, or Computer Aided Technologies),
I hesitate posting pros/cons about any radio control software.

I received a postcard from Datafile a couple of days ago regarding
their new email address.  I can't find it right now, but I believe
it was [e-mail].  They do check in at Compuserve from time
to time, but I know they frequent Genie.  Try that address for more
info.  If it is not valid, email me and I'll get the correct address.

Additionally, I do know they offer a money-back-guarantee, which
helps since a demo is not available.

Hi!  I was wondering how much a small, inexpensive UHF radio would
cost me.  All I need is to have one frequency (453.350) and it doesn't
have to be a powerful radio.  I currently have a scanner but I'd like
something a bit smaller, and more portable just so I can monitor that
one frequency.  That's the reason it doesn't have to be a powerful
radio - just so long as it can recieve transmissions.  I don't know
too much about radios and stuff so if there are any other options you
folks can think of, I'd appreciate them!  Even something like a used
Motorola Minitor II might do the job.  I'd appreciate any advice I can
get!  Please respond via E-Mail at [e-mail].  Thanks in
advance!!!

The Electra/Bearcat 20/20 is a 40 channel scanner, a slight
refinement of the earlier 20 channel BC-220.

The A/B switch selects between two sets of 20 channels -- hence
the model nomenclature "20/20".   The channels in both sets
are labeled the same, 1 through 20.  Each channel set is further
divided into two banks.

Summary: How do I replace the LCD?

  I need to replace the LCD on my Pro43 scanner.  It seems that it is
securely glued to the front part of the case.  Has anyone done this
before?
  If so, do I just replace the LCD only, the whole front part of the
case, or is there some other method?

  Finally, what is the phone number of the RS replacement parts place,
and what part numbers would I need?  Is there a catalog of part numbers
somewhere?

 Thanks in advance,

Jan:

You should really order a PRO-43 service manual from your
local Radio Shack store because it costs only about $10 and is
a great help.  It contains a parts list, exploded assembly diagrams,
schematics, alignment data, etc.

Manufacturer part numbers:

    front case assembly is GA-91D-9416.
    front case alone is GE-91A-9207.
    LCD window alone is GE-91C-9208.
    LCD is EDD042ZX1A4.
    reflector behind the LCD is GE-91D-9209.
    interconnection strip between the LCD and circuit board,
        is GE-91D-9210.

Since the shipping & handling charge is usually $4, sometimes
it makes sense to order several parts if they are cheap and you are
not sure which one you really need.

While ordering parts from Tandy, sometimes the manufacturer's
part number is not enough, they require a Radio Shack part
number.  Unfortunately, the R/S part numbers for those
parts are not listed in the manual, but the Tandy folks can help
if you give them the information in this posting.

If you don't want to deal with your local Radio Shack store,
you could try calling Tandy national parts at 1(800)843-7422,
but I haven't tried this number.

NOTE: I cannot supply other part numbers, I just happen to
have the PRO-43 service manual close by.

  Sure...if the unit was manufactured before April of 1994 (below 4A4
datecode).  Pop open the case.  Look for L201.  If L201 is present, cut the
part in half and seperate the wires.  If it is not there, then forget it.

  Cutting the part restores full 800 Mhz coverage in 30 khz steps when
required.  (Performing the above is at your own risk.  The mod does restore
portions of the 800 Mhz band that is against US federal law to monitor.)

  Good luck...Jerry

I was not "calling you a liar". You may, however, be misinformed.

The only equipment that Radio Shack has had to remove from the shelf has
been a couple of models (manufactured after the cutoff date) that turned
out to be relatively easily modified to receive cellular transmissions.

The FCC has not required the removal of radios that were manufactured
before that date - although it appears some managers somewhere in Radio
Shack required it of their stores.

I have also not seen, nor would I expect (given the differences in dollars
available), any attempt by Radio Shack to fight the law - in the first place.
They certainly did not do anything to make sure as many radios as possible
were available.  If they had done that, there would be a warehouse full of
PRO-2006s and PRO-43s -  all manufactured and imported before the ban date.

Shortwave receivers usually have a range from < 1Mhz to about 30Mhz. Most
scanners do not receive in this range and those that do usually do not
have near the sensitivity nor selectivity of a real shortwave receiver.

In any case, if your scanner can pick up that range you will want to connect
it to any long wire and you should be able to pick up commercial shortwave
stations fairly easily(especially, I assume, that you are in Toronto).  I you
want a fairly cheap list of frequencies, pick up the latest issue
of Monitoring Times.  Initially stick to the BBC, Radio Netherlands and,
of course US and Canadian shortwave stations.  I believe that the BBC
has a relay in Newfoundland, so it should come in fairly strong for you.

Good luck and enjoy.

Hello everybody,
        I have Sony 2010 and Pro-39 which are great radios.  I am wondering if
it would be a good idea to buy the receiver with the HF-UHF coverage like ICOM
R-100 or something like that.  The main reason is because of its small size.
How good is that receiver in compared to the handheld scanners?
        Any responses would be greatly appreciated.  Please post or reply.
Thanks for your consideration.

 I have a R-100 and it is a pretty good scanner depending on the pupopse of your use.It has
excellent sensitivity but is very prone to intermod due to it's wide band design. It's shortwave
audio  is ok if you are only a occasional listener. Nothing substitutes a good HF reciever. If you
have freqequencies programed in different bands, it will make an annoying click when changind
bands while scanning. Same goes for if you have the preamp on one channel and not annother ,tthe
reley will click on and off. As far as recommending one, I 'll leave that to you.It is expensive
and does have its shortcomming but is a hell of a scanner commpared to some of the other scanners
out there. I ordered an AOR scanner and sent that piece of trash back. I purchased one of the new
Bearcat 500 channel scanners, but sent it back because as it scanned you could hear a AM radio
station that is 15 Mi. away in it's speaker.It was also plagued by intermod that was pretty far
away. Overall it is better then anything that I have seen lately other then commercial
eqquipment.

The San Jose Police Department uses a helicopter regularly
to support their people on the ground.  I suppose there is
a primary dispatch frequency but I can't seem to find it.
Does anyone know how SJ Air One gets dispatched to it's
various locations of need?

I've been wanting to get into scanning for a while, and this seems like
a pretty good scanner for the price. I don't have a lot of money to
spend, probably no more than $250, but could someone tell me the range,
and if there is a mod for this scanner. Or possibly suggest a better
scanner. Thanks for any help. post here, or write to me at

Well, I have the SC150, and it's a nice scanner.  The only problem is that
nobody has any mods for it!!  I guess that it's too new for someone to come
upon a junk SC150 to take it apart to find some mods for it...  Other than
that one small detail, I like the SC150 very much!

Many of the 900Mhx cordless phone advertise that their phone's
use Spread Spectrum technology.

Questions :

What is Spread Spectrum ?

If a phone is using Spread Spectrum, can someone still use a scanner
to listen to a conversation like one can with the 46-49 Mhz phones ?

If a 900Mhz phone does not employ Spread Specturm, is it a correct
assumption that these 900Mhz phones can be scanned like 46/49 Mhz
phones ?

It's where the radio energy is spread across a wider slice of frequency
spectrum than is usual or normal.  Unlike with "normal" trasmissions,
there is no thin slice of spectrum that when you tune to it, contains
most of the transmission's energy.  With it spread out, the theory is
that there is so little of the signal present at any given frequency,
that you'd need special equipement just to receive it.

With some spread spectrum schemes, not only is the transmission spread,
but it constantly hops around in a random-seeming way!

Not likely.  That's part of the idea behind spread spectrum.  There are
also other concepts that involve getting more use out of the spectrum--
even so that multiple spread spectrum users/transmitters can overlap to
a certain extent.

No.  It could be a non-spread spectrum digital phone.  In this case,
you'd have to figure out how to decode the data before you understand
anything that was being said.

Rumor has it that all state trooper cars transmit a constant or at least regu-
lar beacon tone.  I was wandering if 1) that was correct and 2) does any-
one know what freq. it is ( In North Carolina if possible).







One more thing... why doesn't some one break this group into regions.  I
mean most people in one part of the country don't really care about ferq's
in other parts of the nation. Just an idea.

I am interested in recieving FREQ information for following storm

Any help is appreciated.

Try 153.830.  They might use that for firegound portables.  Also the
Huntington fireground freq. is 46.42.  These freqs. would be used for
communications at the site of a fire.  You wouldn't get much on either of
these two if you were too far from the site where they were being used,
however.  Huntington. Halesite & Centerport aren't currently licensed for
any other freqs. as far as I know.

In Oct 1994, they updated the ECPA to include Cordless phone monitoring
as an illegal act... just like the ECPA did to CELLULAR phone monitoring
in 1986...

But, then, the police routinely give criminals the freedom to commit crimes,
as long as they inform on other criminals.....

Mine has a range of approximately 10-15 car lengths, which is
ideal--any more range and you'd miss seeing reactions!

I initially had a similar experience to yours--it worked OK, but had
extremely short range.  I finally experimented with trimming the
stripline antenna a bit (make sure to do it in extremely small
increments!) and tuning using a borrowed radar detector.  I eventually
reached a range easily in the hundreds of feet, with the tuning pot
exactly midrange.  Careful adjustment of the stripline may yield
similar results for you.  Instructions on tuning the stripline are in
the assembly manual.  Good luck!

There has been much discussion on the Highway Zapper issue as of late. To
catch everybody up on what has been discussed I am compiling a list of
some of the highlights of this discussion from the past month or so from
various sources on and off the net.

--- What is a Highway Zapper?

A Highway Zapper, also known more loosely as a radar activator, is a small
garage-door-opener-type of device that, when the button is pressed, sets
off radar detectors that some drivers use to attempt to avoid tickets.
Naturally, if the other driver thinks that they may be going too fast,
will slow down to înormal╣ speeds. They are generally available for about
$50 and run off a 9v battery. There has been some questions about legality
of using these devices as well, but it looks good if reasonable power
limits are used. There are also some alternative things to think about
using for those that want to home-brew their own radar activator.

This is the point where most everybody has an opinion, and the discussion
falls into a flame war about speeders. We aren╣t going to do that - it╣s
been done to death. The basic points to these arguments are 1) speeding is
bad 2) stopping people from speeding is bad. 3) You are a pickle-headed
moron. 4)You suffer from cranial rectal inversion. Repeat ad nausium. My
personal reflection on this is that anybody who publicly flames
immediately loses all dignity and respect in the net community no matter
what their point.

Dear all,

I am pretty new to scanning, so please be indulgent.

Firstly, I just been given an ICOM IC-R1 receiver (that where all
started...). Is it any good ? Any advise as of where I could find some
info about it's use ?

Next, I am living in Switzerland. Any idea of where I could find
frequencies lists ? Are there any international standards I could start
with ?

Any response appreciated

Is there anywhere a repository of information on various states and countries
laws relating to the personal possession and use of scanners.

Such as...

USA can listen to anything except cellular radio, though some states may have
 a mobile usage ban.  New scanners must have a cellular phone block out.
 Of course it doesn't help that the US 33cm band is the place that the UK keeps
 it's cellular phones!

or

UK, no hardware limits but can only listen to ham, broadcast, cb and (when near
the coast) coastguard.

I'd hate to arrive at some airport and have my $400 plus scanner removed
legally.....


Thanks in advance

Nigel

Yes, I used one. It was very good in rural areas. Lots of intermod in NYC,
however.
A problem: It had a bug where you can't lock out the preprogrammed freqs:
In other words, if you get a data channel on 800 mhz, you just keep
stopping there, no matter what you do. Mine is back at Uniden as we speak,
getting the bug a dose of RAID.

to put this into test mode from the handset itself, I know this can be done
with Motorola phones any chance of a similar thing for the Uniden?

Hi, all:

     I have heard there is some new software available for the Uniden MR 8100.
While I have the original disk which allows programming, apparently the new
software provides for direct computer control of the radio while operating.  If
you know where I can find this program, your help would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks, and

Best Wishes,

Bernie Roche

Well, there IS newer software available, but no, it doesn't have the ability
to control the MR8100. The MR8100 can not be computer controlled, the ONLY
thing you can do via the serial port is upload & download radio memory.

The software is Scan*Star, and you can check it out:

    http://www.scanstar.com/  or  BBS:1-408-258-6462

Demo versions are available via either of these methods.

Do you mean "cable to my TV antenna", or "cable TV" ?

If you connect a scanner to a TV antenna, you will get a better signal for
signals around this band, and in the same direction as your TV transmitter.
US TV standards are different from UK, so I don't know the frequencies
offhand. I often do this myself to hear the TV news or documentaries
while I'm working.

If you live in a building with a shared antenna and TV distribution
amplifiers, then the strong signal may be overloading your scanner's
front-end. Try switching in the scanner's attenuator (if it has one).

If you're connected to a cable TV outlet, then there isn't much hope. You
could pick up the cable TV sound carrier, but you'd need to know how it was
modulated. I don't know this information offhand (US is again different from
the UK), but all you could hope to get would be the cable sound channels. As
an antenna for scanning, this would be completely unworkable.

TV antennas aren't much use for scanners. It's not an exciting band, and the
TV signals are usually strong enough to pick up with a rubber duck anyway.

Telvision channels in th U.S. range from 50 to 800 MHz.  Most home VHF/UHF
televison antennas (the directional ones many of us have on our roofs) are log
periodics and should be "resonant" everywhere between the television frequecies
they are inteneded to receive.  However, televison stations transmit at
significantly higher power than than most land mobile stations - so what makes an
efficient receive antenna for TV may not be that efficient for monitoring mobile
two way.

I have often wondered what kind of "scanners" people are using when I hear that
they are receiving TV audio.  Higher end monitoring receivers can select between
FM and FMn - but hooking your average hand-held radio shack scanner to a TV cable
would likely result in nothing since any audio programming is going to be way too
wide.

 Ca> Hiya.. I was wondeirng if someone could explain to me what cellular
 Ca> images are? THanks


 Images are a 'mirror' of the actual frequency.  It is a by-product of
receiver design that can be either a 'feature' or a bad design.  And it is
not just for cellular either...it's for any frequency that can be
programmed into a scanner.

 On my Bearcat 210 XL, I receive the local PD on 471.1375.  The image of
that is (2*IF)+471.1375, where IF is the intermediate frequency of the
scanner.  On the 210 XL, the IF is 10.6 Mhz.

 On my 2500, images of cellular phones typically found in the 870 to 890
Mhz band can be received in the 1270 to 1290 Mhz band.  In this case, the
IF of the 2500 (one of them anyway) is 200 Mhz.  (2*200)+870=1270.  This is
the image of the cellular freq.

 Hope that helps...Jerry

I use a sony ICF 2010  with the AN-1 amplified antenna which is outside, and
up about 30 feet, it may not be perfect, but i've heard a LOT  of  Military
stuff including AF 1,  I live  about 30 miles outside Boston, so intermod is
no problem.  Also when i go on trips or vacation i use a 25 foot external
antenna, just strung out horizontally, and it seem to work fine also.

What's a good source for the Opto CX12AR ??

I know I can get it direct from OptoElectronics.  Curious if anyone knows
who carries the interface less than MSRP.

Thanks

I picked mine up at Dayton.  First, when you contact companies, make sure
they are selling the current version of the CX12....the CX12AR!!  Another
user ordered one and received the old product which would only work with
CI-V devices.

Try the following for pricing/availability...

Lentini Communications 800-666-0908 or 203-666-6227
Tucker 800-527-4642
EEB 800-368-3270

Additionally, I have recently come across another fellow on the net
that carries Opto products.  He is selling it for $88.  The company
name is Erik of Advanced System Concepts.  Contact him at 206-NEC-
APPLE or email: [e-mail].

Don't forget to ask about shipping charges, returns, etc...

Hope this helps...

I need to buy a TH-79a (NOT the ad, but the older modle). I would like to
have it in the 5 watt modle if possible with drop in charger but would
take the regular radio and buy the rest. Let me know in what condition
it's in and how much shipped, COD to Los Angeles. Thanks

 Easy.  Pop the cover off.  Look for D502 behind the #3 key.  Snip the
diode.  While you are at it, snip D503.  Increase scan rate to 30 cps from
26 cps.

He forgot to tell you that you have to press the RESET button upon power
up after clipping the diode.  So, be sure to do so.  The scanner will then
search in perfect 30 Khz steps after you load an upper & lower frequency
into a search bank.

                       ^^^^^^^^^

Has anybody actually done this?  It seems silly that the unit would have
a diode whose only function is to SLOW its "hyperscan" rate.  Maybe I'm
just being overly cautious, but can someone, ANYONE, who has actually
performed the D503 diode mod successfully please e-mail me. I just want to
make sure it's kosher before I start snipping.

Thanks in advance!

Don,

Several point regarding Trunked 800 MHz service.  First, unlike the
simple repeater used by Fire, Police, etc. Several units can be using
the system at the same time.  You may have been around someone using a
trunked system, they press the mic. switch and then wait for a "beep."
The beep tells them the connection has been made and that they can talk.
Many trunked systems also allows Cellular calls to be placed augmenting
the service beyond the normal (trunked site) service area.  Trunked
systems can and often do use upward of fifty (50) frequencies for upto
25 conversations.

Regarding the use of encryption, two things, first there is always the
chance that there may be a problem requiring repeated messages.  You can
see that for emergency use time is an issue and that encryption will
most likely be used in place of the 10-21 headquarters calls. Second,
the constant use of encryption allows to many opportunities for the
encrypting to be learned and decoded.

Why is it that aircraft frequencies always use AM modualion?

I am surprised that he needed to wait 6 days on the ground before he could
use his radio to contact anyone. I would think that his chances of
survival would decrease drastically each day he was in enemy territory. I
would hope that our government would provide pilots with a low probability
of intercept (spread spectrum), secure radio that could be heard by
military satellites as well as by friendly aircraft.  I expect this is not
the case.  If it had been a secure, LPI radio, "Basher 52" would probably
not have been challenged with "What was your old unit in Korea?"

It sounds like the USAF has not advanced past the days of the PRC-90 used
in Vietnam.  With these radios the downed pilot only could use AM
modulation on 2 fixed UHF frequencies (243 and 282.8 MHz) easily received
by North Vietnamese direction finding equipment.

   Rep.Bob Dornan on C-Span claims that O'Grady was on the radio every
   night, but not being received because of a weak radio or batteries.

   Good point. As a Motorola employee you ought to know what is available

 Dornan will dig into this.

      LPI/LPD provides a secure comms circuit, but it does not

I have a Pro-26 handheld scanner and I ant to put an antenna on my roof
for it. I want the best reception for cordless phone frequencies since
there is a lot of cordless activity in my neighborhood. Can anyone tell
me what the best antenna would be for this purpose... and the price.
Would I be better off making my own antenna out of cables for this type
of reception. Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

I understand that there is a new scanner, the AOR 2700.

Does anyone have any thoughts, details, etc on this device.

Yes!  I have one, and I am extremely pleased with it (especially
since I received it as a replacement for a faulty AR1500).

Rather than describe it to you, I'll quote an e-mail I sent to
my brother (also a scanner enthusiast):

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last night, I picked up my nice, brand new, AOR AR2700.  It is
pure joy to use!  You can adjust absolutely everything, which
is really useful.  Let me try to list the features I've discovered.

  * Turn key beep on/off.
  * Select "scan resume" delay (0.0 - 9.9 seconds)
    - this is the length of time the scanner waits on a previously
      active channel before resuming scan.
  * Select "pause" (1-90 seconds, or "off")
    - this forces the scanner to continue scanning after the
      specified number of seconds, even if their is a continuous
      signal present.  It's like the "preview" mode of some CD players.
  * Each channel stores the following info:
          - Band (AM, FM, WFM)
          - Step size (multiples of 5 and 6.25 kHz)
          - Attenuation on/off (for strong/weak signals)
          - Frequency (duh!)
  * Any combination of the 10 banks (50 channels each) may be
    selected for scanning (same as the Rad Shack machines).
  * There are 10 search range memories, each containing
    lo/hi freq info, band, and step size.
  * Any combination of the 10 search ranges may be selected
    for searching (similar to scanning multiple banks).
  * One priority channel may be chosen.  The "check" period may
    be set to any number of seconds, I don't remember the range.
  * Scan channels may be locked out.
  * Any frequency may be added to a "lockout" list (50 freqs).
    A frequency in this list will be skipped during a search,
    so it's good for eliminating birdies or continuously noisy
    frequencies.  Actually, I haven't found any birdies yet on
    this scanner, but I think all scanners have *some*.
  * "Monitor" button opens squelch all the way for the current
    channel (until you let go).  Useful for signals which are
    really close to squelch cutoff (they come and go).
  * Nice green backlight for the large LCD display and also for
    all the buttons.  It stays on for 5 seconds after the last
    keypress, but you can also turn it on "permanently".
  * Excellent audio.  Time to throw out my stereo!  ;-)
  * Sleep timer -- anywhere from 1-90 minutes (or off).
    Because of the sleep timer, the scanner doesn't turn on
    by turning the volume control.  It has a PWR button that
    you hold down for a second (provided the KEY LOCK switch
    isn't flipped).
  * Stupid feature -- if you power the unit on while holding
    down a certain key, then, when you flip the KEY LOCK switch,
    the keyboard becomes musical.  Each key plays a different
    note.  The manual says you can use this at parties...

  * Freq range:  500kHz - 1300 MHz
  * Speed:       30 freqs/second
  * Accessories: RS232 interface to computer (pretty expensive)
                 20 second voice record chip (don't know the price)
  * Power:       4 AA NiCad (included) or Dry cell
                 AC Adapter included (also charges NiCads)
                 Cigarette lighter adapter included
  * Antennae:    Rubber ducky
                 Telescopic
  * Other crap:  Earphone
                 Carrying strap

Anyways, it seems to be very intelligently designed -- unlike
the AR1500 I had.  The user interface is surprisingly good.  Lots
of features and only 26 buttons/switches/knobs.

It seems that no one has the aor 8000's in stock these days.  they are all
back ordered two to four weeks!
QUESTION:
Does anyone have a clue as to whether or not the new ones coming into the
distributors from Japan will be cellular modifiable (via software & serial
port) as the original issues were?

Please e-mail me with any info regarding this

I just got the July 1995 of Popular Communications and saw something
interesting in the EEB ad.  They do the mod to the AOR8000 that allows you
to use the Scout to reaction tune the AOR.  And they give a warranty for
it.

When I called EDCO to ask about modifiying my AOR8000, they told me it
totally voids the radio warrenty, and that they didn't do the mod either.

Their advice was to find somebody who would, and since EEB says they are
a factory authroized AOR service, I guess I did. :-)

REVIEW: by Charles lowrance  WA4MCK

AOR8000INF  Interface cable.

Like most people I know, I too have the problem of looking
for the best, the fastest, or the one that has the most bells
and whistles for the money.
Well I just had to have the AOR8000 scanner/receiver after
looking for months and reading about all the other neat
scanners out there. So, with some "what if's" in the pit of
my stomach the decision was made to purchase the AOR8000.
The unit came the next day and like a kid with a new toy I
started jumping from one frequency to the next. I was not
disappointed at all with the AOR8000, it did all I could ever
want in a receiver; it has sensitivity, selectivity, and very
good audio. the unit would be used for shortwave VHF/UHF
Military air, and  SCPC  Single Channel Per Carrier - this is
on the geostationary satellites frequency 950 MHZ to 1450 MHZ
The format carries programming from all parts of the world.
I also wanted a receiver that had the frequency coverage ---
DC to Daylight and all modes.
But after spending $600.00 for the AOR8000 I just could not
see myself spending $100.00 for the ( AOR8000INF ) interface
cable, and then around the same amount for the scanner
program. All I could think of was noise in the interface
cable, and a scanner control
program that took a "Rocket Scientist" to get working.

The AOR8000INF CABLE.

My first impression with the cable was the setup. I found it
easy, it connects to your serial port 1 or 2 on your
computer, and the other end to your AOR8000. I could not find
any computer noise - even when tuning the radio to the
computers clock frequency. The unit itself is small - about 8
inches long.  The cable is constructed very well, but I do
believe that the cable is a little over priced.
I do not believe that the cable is durable enough for
everyday use involving connecting and disconnecting, For you
could ruin the cable If you should bend the cable more than a
few times, as the cable could break inside.  I think a better
cable would be made of shielded flexcable with a stronger
cable to radio connector..
I do have to add that the cable is a must if you want to
interface the PC control programs to your receiver.
And at this time this cable is made for the AOR8000.

To all 8K users,
   I would like to hear all the pros and cons from those who have
put the 8000 through it's paces. I bought a new one that had a
defective AM section and sent it back for exchange. The new
one will arrive soon, and I need to form an opinion before
deciding whether to keep it.
   The first one would out perform my PRO-43 on VHF & UHF, but
would not function properly on AM. That seemed to be the only
fault I could find.
   Thanks in advance to all that can help.........

I opened my EDCO interface connector to see why it isn't working.

This is the connector I FEDEXed to them a month ago because it didn't work.

It was returned NO PROBLEM FOUND.

Four of the seven flat cable lines inside the thing were broken.

TRASH.

In my opinion for Handhelds that would be the AR8000 ($600). Or
BC3000XLT ($400). Also the Yupiteru 7100.

For Base units: Pro-2006 ($350 Used), BC9000XLT ($400 New), Pro-3035 ($400
New), AR3000A ($1000).

                 BUYING A USED SCANNER RADIO

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole  or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.  Free distribution is encouraged.]

 Anybody with enough money can buy a brand new scanner,  but
 you can save lots of money if you get a good deal on a used
 scanner.  Hamfests are probably the best place to find used
 radios,  but  you  must  be  familiar  with  the equipment.
 Hamfests are repleat with older radios  you  won't  see  in
 today's catalogs.

 At last count, there were over  110  scanners  and  monitor  |
 receivers  of  various brands in my collection.  I purchase
 most of my receivers at hamfests or horsetrade  with  other
 radio  hobbyists.   This  article describes a few of the FM
 receivers  in  my  collection,  and  is  not  meant  to  be
 complete.

           A Used Scanner May be a Broken Scanner

 Getting a bargain is not without some  risk.   I  have  had
 sellers  look  me square in the eye and tell me their radio
 worked fine -- when it really didn't.

 Buying a used portable scanner is  riskier  than  buying  a
 mobile  or  base  model.   Portable scanners are subject to
 more physical abuse and many have been dropped.  If a radio
 has  been dropped, the laws of probability dictate that the
 first point of impact was probably a corner, so be sure  to
 examine each corner for evidence of trauma.

 Scanners used in mobile service are subject  to  vibration,
 dust,  and  temperature  extremes.  This shouldn't dissuade
 you from buying a used mobile  scanner,  but  be  aware  of
 possible complications.

 You should have some recourse if the radio  you  buy  turns
 out to be defective.

 If you can't fix the radio yourself, you can  pay  to  have
 the  manufacturer  or  a  service clinic repair it for you.
 Several people have been  pleased  with  Electronic  Repair
 Center,  in Franklin Park, IL, which repairs scanners for a
 flat fee.  Call them at [phone]  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.

                            ICOM

 R-7000: 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: 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):  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 has better IF filtering
 and contains front-end circuitry for VHF-low, VHF-high, and
 UHF  bands.   No  aircraft  band  coverage.   Three crystal
 filters.  Front  mount  speaker  sounds  good.   No  rescan
 delay.

 Bearcat 12  (Electra):  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.
 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.

 BC101  (Electra):  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):  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): A BC220 but with 40 channels.  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): 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): 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):  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):  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):  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.

 BC860XLT (Uniden): 100 channel table top  unit.   Can  lock
 out  10  channels during search.  Good performer except for
 images.

 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.

 BC9000XLT (Uniden): 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.

 BC100XLT (Uniden): 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): 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): 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.


                           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: 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.

 PRO2005: Radio Shack's top of the line scanner for 1989 and
 scanner  of  choice.   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.

 PRO2006: Radio  Shack's  1994  top  of  the  line  scanner.
 Essentially   the   same  as  PRO-2005  but  scans  faster.
 Probably  the  best   scanner   made   to   date.    Highly
 recommended.

 PRO-2035: Radio Shack's 1995 top of the line  1000  channel
 base  scanner.   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.

 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.

 PRO2037: 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.

 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.                                                   |

 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.

 PRO43:  Good  portable  200  channel   scanner   using   up
 conversion.   Covers  military air band.  Selectable AM/NFM
 modes.  Intermod in 160 - 162 MHz railroad band.

 PRO30: 16 channel programmable portable with aircraft band.
 Good  frequency  coverage.   Extra  controls  on  top allow
 control of SCAN, MANUAL, and PRIORITY functions while  worn
 on  belt.  Good belt clip.  Low audio output.  Plastic case
 prone to break at BNC antenna connector under  severe  use,
 vs.   metal  frame  in  Regency  HX1000.   High  price,  no
 discounts or sales yet.  I had 6 or  7  PRO30s,  having  to
 return  them  several  times  during  the  1 year warranty,
 although other  owners  have  had  little  or  no  trouble.
 Troubles  included  oscillation  in  IF  stage, no UHF band
 reception, case broken around base  of  antenna  connector,
 etc.

 PRO24: 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.


                 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 desireable.  The Motorola
 Alert monitors are pretty good, although  the  audio  lacks
 bass.

 No single Plectron or Motorola Alert monitor can cover  the
 entire  30-50  MHz  band, and there were versions optimized
 for each portion of the band. There were different  "split"
 models to cover segments of VHF-hi band, too.  Although UHF
 versions were made, they are somewhat rare.

 Both  brands  of  receiver  require  special  crystals.   I
 sometimes  use  Radio  Shack's generic 3rd overtone scanner
 crystals in the Plectrons but they oscillate on frequencies
 far away from their marked frequencies.  That's because the
 Plectron oscillator is designed to be used with  a  crystal
 which   oscillates   on   its  fundamental,  not  overtone,
 frequency.

 If you  find  the  squelch  on  your  Plectron  700  series
 receiver  has  too  much  hysteresis,  replace  R96, a 180K
 resistor, with a 560K resistor.  On the P1, the resistor is
 designated R81.

 Parts for Plectron receivers are available from:

I just recently bought a Motorola flip 550, can this be used as a
scanner.  If so, can you also pass the sequence on for this.

You migt try Uniden as (from memory) the SR-925 was based on, if not the
same radio as the BC-175XL ?

Little desk top, 16 channels ?

        I took my recently purchased PRO-51 to the Miller Genuine
        Draft 200 indycar race at Milwaukee. I loaded up the
        frequencies that you have seen posted in this group. I was not
        impressed, there was VERY little to listen to.

        The only interesting transmissions I could hear were from
        the CART official broadcast, and that happened only two
        or three times during the day. I did hear and recognize
        Bobby Rahal's voice several times during practice as he
        struggled mightily to get his car to work. Team Penske
        was scrambled contrary to what I have read here.

        My next race will be New Hampshire. Where can I get the
        red headphones that everyone was using at Milwaukee?

        FYI: The Uniden SportCat was the most popular radio at the
        event. Many of the racing teams were using banks of
        these to "spy" on the competition. Many scanners were being
        used without antennae or with a small, thumb-sized stub.

Hi,

You must have some old frequencies.  Many CART teams operate in the clear.
 I hope your scanner receives 800mhz, because many of the best teams are
up there.

Concerning the headphones, there is an outfit called "Racing Radios" that
sets up a trailer outside many CART races.  I saw them at New Hampshire in
1993 (I wasn't there in '94).

I have an extra set, used once, if you want to make an offer.  I remember
spending $65.00 the day I bought them, but I think that price included
some mods Racing Radios was offering with them as a package.

Their other services include not only on-the-spot mods, but perfectly
up-to-date frequency guides.

Enjoy!
Jim

Jeff,

You need to do two things......actually, kinda one.....

Call (800) RACE-FAN and tell them you want to subscribe to the monthly
newsletter called Frequency Fan Club.  ALL the frequencies you need for
every race are not only in the newsletter, they also are available by
phone, plus broadcast live on a UHF frequency at each race prior to the
race.  You won't go wrong being a member.

They also sell the headphones that allow you to hear your scanner at the
racetrack over all the race noise.

Feel free to tell them I sent you.

Try the Optiscan 456 (US $280) and software like ScanStar Pro (US $80).
Both are available from Grove at 1-800-438-8155.

I have a PRO-2006 with the OS456, and ScanStar and ScanCat.  The only
advantage that ScanStar has, in my opinion, is the spectrum analysis,
which is VERY neat.

You might browse the sci.crypt newsgroup if you want more information.  There
might even be a FAQ which discusses DES and other encryption algorithms.

Theose scanner converters normally bump the 800-1200mhz range down into
the 400+mhz range.  I'm curious if they can be used in reverse, to bump a
400mhz transmitter to the 800mhz range.

What about reading bavck the squelch?
Or what about peeking memory locations that would let me do all of the

Hi --

I'm going to be driving through the Georgian Bay area, and then around Lake
Superior, in a couple of weeks.  Specifically, we're driving from from
Ohio to Port Huron, then up to Tobermory, by ferry to Manitoulin Island, then
via the TransCanada Highway around to Duluth and back home via the Wisconsin
and Michigan side of the lake to Sault Ste. Marie, MI.

 I have a pretty good handle on the Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, and US
Coast Guard freqs that might be interesting, but what about on the Canadian
side of the border?

Does the Canadian Coast Guard (correct name?) use the same working channels --
21, 22A, 23, etc. -- as the USCG?

Are there any good general high band freqs to listen to for public safety
services along the lakeshore (I don't have a VHF-Low receiver in the car)?

Thanks...

John AG9V

I am the orginal owner, it is about 1.5 years old, and has been used

I am asking $225. I have the original box, but may need to do some

These guys normally hang on the local GSP repeater and rarely use the

I have subscribed to a service that allows me to log on and get FCC
data.I have a question regarding Services on 800 mhz.  This particular
Hospital by be is being built.   It's called the Austin Diognostic Clinic
and they have a license for 806 mhz and 821 mhz..

I know this is not a correct frequency.. it's like some generic license
for 800 trunked or something.. I see this all the time.. can someone explain?

Sounds like you have run across the band they will be operating in - not the
specific channels.  There are 830 channels avaialable in the 806-821/851-866
MHz plan.  The channels are assigned in pairs only.  They can be licensed for
trunked or conventional systems.

You may want to try a method that I use.  I bought a Sony product used to
connect portable CD players to car cassette decks.  The device has a jack
that plugs into the headphone jack o the CD player (in your case scanner)
and the jack is connected to a cassette "tape." Just insert the cassette
into the deck, and push play on your stereo, and it will play directly
from your scanner headphone jack.  It works very well.  I think it costs
around 15 or 20 dollars.  It can be purchased at any stereo store.

Another route is to buy an expandable antennia, I purchased one
from Radio Shck with a bnc connector for around $10 and it
really pulls in the 46-49 MHZ. I had the same problem with
range being limited to across the street with my little rubber
knob that came with my portable scanner. For the price the
improvement is unbelievable.

         HOW DO YOU FIND THESE SCANNER FREQUENCIES?

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole  or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.  Free distribution is encouraged.]

 I am often asked, "How  do  you  find  these  frequencies?"
 Scanner  enthusiasts  can obtain frequency information from
 several sources,  including  books,  government  microfiche
 records, or other listeners.


                            Books

 The most convenient source of fire and  police  frequencies
 is  the  Police  Call Radio Guide, published each year in 9
 regional volumes by Hollins Radio Data, and sold  at  Radio
 Shack and larger book stores for under $10.  Police Call is
 basically a computer printout of FCC license information in
 the   fire,  police,  local  government,  and  conservation
 services in two lists: by licensee name within  state,  and
 by  frequency.  Later editions have included a few pages of
 local   airport   and   nonsensitive   federal   government
 frequencies.

 I highly recommend Richard  Barnett's  1992  book,  Monitor
 America,  published  by Scanner Master Corp.  A 3rd edition
 is  expected  soon  and  will  be  available   from   Grove
 Enterprises  for about $30.  This second edition is crammed
 full of police, fire, local government, news media, sports,
 national park, and commercial broadcast frequencies for all
 50  states.   The  information  was  compiled  mainly  from
 members  of  the  world's  largest scanning club, the Radio
 Communications  Monitoring  Association  (RCMA).    Monitor
 America  contains  detailed  communications system profiles
 and precinct maps for major metropolitan areas.  Police and
 fire  radio  codes  and  unit  identifiers  unique to local
 agencies are listed for several cities.  This differs  from
 Police  Call,  which  gives  a  more  sterile,  but uniform
 treatment of licensees, listing even the smallest of towns.
 A 3rd edition is expected in early 1995.

 Scanner Master also publishes regional frequency guides for
 Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and
 other states.

 Beyond  Police  Call,  available   from   several   sources
 including  Radio  Shack,  covers the business, schools, and
 other stations not  covered  by  Police  Call,  its  sister
 publication.  One volume covers the entire USA, but no call
 signs are shown.

 Aeronautical frequencies are covered  in  the  Aeronautical
 Frequency   Directory,   written   by  Bob  Coburn,  W1JJO.
 Although  most  of  the  information  is   about   civilian
 aviation,   Bob   included  sections  on  military  mid-air
 refueling and CAP.  The second edition is about  400  pages
 and  is  available  from  Official Scanner Guide.  The same
 publisher  sells  the  Maritime  Frequency  Directory   and
 frequency  guides  for several New England states.  Some of
 these books are available through Radio Shack, too.

 The  most  readily  available  source   of   sensitive   US
 government  frequencies  is  still Tom Kneitel's Top Secret
 Registry of US Government Radio Frequencies.  Published  by
 CRB  Research,  the  8th  edition  is  available from Grove
 Enterprises  for  about  $22.   Kneitel's   book   contains
 frequency listings for NASA, military, FBI, Secret Service,
 DEA,  IRS,  Border  Patrol,  arsenals,  ammunition  plants,
 missile  sites,  and  others  in  the  25 to 470 MHz range.
 Since  the  US  government  no  longer   offers   frequency
 information  for  its own stations, and has never published
 sensitive frequencies, most of the information in Kneitel's
 book  has been collected from listeners over the years.  It
 is certainly not complete, nor 100% accurate, but is a good
 book for this difficult to obtain information.

 Tab Books Master Frequency File, first edition, written  by
 James  Tunnell and Robert Kelty, lists federal agencies and
 frequencies and deserves a read.   However,  there  are  no
 military  listings and many pages are devoted to appendices
 and references which contain no  frequency  listings.   The
 space  would  be  much  better  used  by a combined federal
 frequency list sorted by frequency.

                          Magazines

 Although   national   in   circulation,   local   frequency
 information  is  sometimes  available in Grove's Monitoring
 Times    and     Kneitel's     sensationalistic     Popular
 Communications.


                     Government Records

 Every  year,  the   US   Government   sells   FCC   license
 information,  in  the  form of microfiche, floppy disk, and
 magnetic tape, to the public through the US  Department  of
 Commerce National Technical Information Service (NTIS).

 These lists contain license information for the  industrial
 (e.g.   Illinois  Armored  Car, Pinkerton's Security, Joe's
 Towing, etc.), highway maintenance,  commercial  broadcast,
 aviation, common carrier, and maritime services, as well as
 for police and fire.  For more info call NTIS  at  703-487-
 4630.

 Microfiche is not for the casual hobbyist, but  rather  for
 the  ardent  listener,  who  can easily spend a few hundred
 dollars for  the  fiche,  not  including  the  price  of  a
 microfiche reader.

 Back in "the good old days," Grove Enterprises sold  copies
 of  some  FCC  microfiche  files, and this was much cheaper
 than buying directly from  NTIS.   Grove  no  longer  sells
 microfiche,   but  sells  information  on  CDROM  for  $100
 instead.  In the 1995 edition, fields  are  different  than
 PerCon's  Spectrum  CDROM.   The licensee name and licensee
 city are used instead of the DBA (doing business  as)  name
 and transmitter city which makes query results confusing.

 The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. [phone]), a
 private  company,  to  sell  FCC license information to the
 public on both floppy disks and CDROMs.  You  can  buy  the
 full license information for a multi state region or a less
 detailed license database covering the the  entire  USA  on
 CDROM  for about $100.  The new PerCon Spectrum CDROM sells
 for $29 and contains a handful  of  fields  for  every  FCC
 license  in  the  US.   It  works  in DOS, Windows, and Mac
 environments.

 Companies have appeared which are "plugged  into"  the  FCC
 licensing  system  and they sell computer time allowing on-
 line file access.  They  also  sell  paper  copies  of  FCC
 information.   Washington  Radio Reports is one example.  A
 monthly publication, it lists license applications made  to
 the  FCC.   A  few members of my scanner club subscribe and
 share the information with me.

 As I have already done for hundreds  of  radio  enthusiasts
 and  companies  across  the  country,  I  will  locate  FCC
 licensed and selected FAA transmitter sites in an  area  of
 your   choice,   in   any   state,  and  produce  a  custom
 RadioMap(TM) report, including  an  8-1/2"  by  11"  scaled
 color  map,  protected  by plastic.  The map is marked with
 transmitter sites,  cities,  highways,  airports,  military
 installations, national parks, etc.

 RadioMap allows you to identify antenna sites and visualize
 the  transmitter  locations in your neighborhood, near your
 office, and other places of interest --  from  VLF  through
 microwave.   The  report  lists frequencies, callsigns, and
 licensee  names.   RadioMap  covers  police,  fire,   local
 government,   TV,   business,   industry,  common  carrier,
 railroad, trucking, and  many  more  types  of  transmitter
 sites,   excluding   ham   radio  stations.   Wireline  and
 nonwireline cellular phone and AM/FM broadcast  transmitter
 sites are clearly marked using unique color icons.

 RadioMap has been very favorably reviewed in  RCMA  Scanner
 Journal,   American   Scannergram,  and  USSN.   Industrial
 customers  use  RadioMap  reports  to  survey  the   "radio
 environment"  prior  to installation of radios and wireless
 microphones at customer sites.  RadioMap is  also  used  to
 find sources intermod interference problems.

 The  RadioMap  processes  and  software  are   unique   and
 proprietary.   Unlike  "more tame" maps, RadioMap shows the
 locations of military bases, ammunition  plants,  arsenals,
 weapons factories, and other military installations.

 For a flat fee, you  choose  the  center  location,  and  I
 choose the range, depending on transmitter site density:

         suburbs: 5 mile range (100 sq. mi. area)
         rural areas: 10 or more miles (400 sq. mi. area)
         dense urban area: 1 - 2 mile range

 Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing.

 A custom RadioMap report costs $20.95 plus  $5.00  shipping
 and handling.  Send $25.95 (check or money order payable to
 Bob Parnass) for each RadioMap report, your name,  address,
 and  telephone  number, along with center location (nearest
 intersection of 2 streets, or latitude & longitude) to: Bob
 Parnass,   2350  Douglas  Road,  Oswego,  IL  60543.   tel.

        Federal Radio Stations - Not Licensed by FCC

 Since federal government radio stations are not licensed by
 the FCC, they are not listed in FCC microfiche.  In 1981, a
 group of 60 radio hobbyists split a $1300 fee, and obtained
 80   microfiche  cards  of  'sanitized'  information  about
 federal government radio  stations  under  the  Freedom  of
 Information Act (FOIA)1.  Only 12  of  the  21  information
 fields  for  each  station  were  furnished.   Fields  like
 "Remarks", which indicate the  exact  usage  of  a  channel
 (e.g.   "Sky  Marshall's  Net"),  and  "Bureau", indicating
 agency  subdivision  (e.g.   TAC  within  the  USAF),  were
 withheld.   These 80 pages of microfiche were sold by Grove
 Enterprises for $25, but are no longer available from  that
 source.   Private entrepreneurs have been known to ask $125
 or more for a set!  In a step backward, the  US  Government
 insists  it will no longer release this type of information
 - it is now 'classified'2.

 For  a  reason  unknown  to  this  author,  the  government
 released a 1984 vintage set of frequencies allocated to the
 FAA.  Perhaps this was a mistake, because  the  information
 is  marked  'unclassified',  but  all fields are furnished,
 including  some  which  indicate  security  related  usage.
 Grove sold this set of 33 microfiche cards for about $13.

 Two way radio equipment formerly used by the  armed  forces
 often  appears  for  sale  at hamfests.  Less often, Secret
 Service and FBI radios appear there from time to time, too.
 When  you  see  such  equipment,  look over the radio for a
 frequency label and write down the frequencies  stamped  on
 the crystals or channel elements.  Make note of any service
 or property tags which specify the agency or military  base
 which used the equipment.


                         Radio Clubs

 One of the best parts of the hobby is sharing it with other
 radio  buffs.   Trading  information  with  other hobbyists
 about frequencies,  communication  systems,  and  receiving
 equipment is more valuable than a pile of magazines.

 Since  the  early  1960s,  I  had  been  an  amateur  radio
 operator,  and belonged to amateur radio clubs, but I never
 realized there were any scanner clubs!  In 1983,  I  joined
 the  world's largest scanner club, the Radio Communications
 Monitoring Association (RCMA).

 Founded in 1975,  the  RCMA  is  the  "first  national  and
 international  organization  of  monitor  radio listeners."
 There are several  regional  chapters  which  hold  regular
 meetings.  Club dues are collected annually, which covers a
 monthly newsletter, the  RCMA  Scanner  Journal,  about  95
 pages  long.   Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges,
 there is coverage of HF utility stations below 30  MHz.   A
 recent  liberalization  of  club  policy  now  permits  the
 printing of most federal law enforcement frequencies, e.g.,
 Secret Service, FBI, Customs, and DEA.

 Inquiries about RCMA membership should be sent to:


                    RCMA General Manager
                    P.O. Box 542
                    Silverado, CA 92676
                    USA

 Another club which prints sensitive federal frequencies  is
 the   All   Ohio  Scanner  Club.   I  enjoy  its  bimonthly
 publication, The American Scannergram, which  is  about  60
 pages  long.   Although  concentrating  on  Ohio,  there is
 frequency information from  other  states,  and  plenty  of
 product reviews and scanning tips.

 More information is available from:


                   All Ohio Scanner Club

                    Do Your Own Sleuthing

 The  real  challenge  is  deriving   new   spectrum   usage
 information.    Sometimes   it  requires  several  days  of
 listening, taping, and compiling fragments of  information.
 Other  times,  the  frequency  information is there for the
 taking - without hassle.

 More about sleuthing will be discussed in Part II  of  this
 article.



         HOW DO YOU FIND THESE SCANNER FREQUENCIES?
                      Part 2: Sleuthing

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

 Part I of this series discussed how scanner enthusiasts can
 obtain   frequency   information   from  books,  government
 microfiche records, or other listeners.   This  installment
 discusses digging up new frequencies on your own.


                    Do Your Own Sleuthing

 There  is  a  challenge  in  deriving  new  spectrum  usage
 information  on  your  own.   Sometimes it requires several
 days of  listening,  taping,  and  compiling  fragments  of
 information.   Other  times,  the  frequency information is
 there for the taking - without hassle.

 You can approach from two directions:

   1.  Listen first: Monitor a frequency or frequencies, and
       determine  who's  transmitting  and  what purpose the
       channel serves.  Once you identify the user, log  the
       information.

   2.  Compile first: Take advantage of opportunities,  such
       as  examining the frequency label on a guard's radio,
       or reading the FCC  license  hanging  on  the  "radio
       room"  wall, to compile frequency lists, then monitor
       the listed  frequencies  to  confirm  that  they  are
       really  in  use.   Readers  are urged to abide by the
       rules of good taste and local laws in the  quest  for
       frequency  information.   Don't trespass, wait for an
       invitation.

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.


        What Makes Station Identification Difficult?

 In  most  instances,  FCC  rules  require  radio  users  to
 identify  their  operations with FCC assigned call letters.
 Police and fire departments, especially those with  trained
 radio  dispatchers,  seem  particularly conscientious about
 station identification.  Like commercial broadcasters, many
 of these stations identify on the hour and the half hour.

 Some  repeater  stations  have  Morse  code  identification
 circuits  which  transmit call letters on a periodic basis,
 insuring compliance with FCC rules.

 On the other hand, over 75% the industrial  radio  stations
 monitored  within  the last year ignore the FCC regulation,
 making it difficult for a listener to identify  a  station.
 Some   stations   may   operate   for   years   using   the
 nondescriptive  "base  to  mobile  2"  or  "Joe  to   base"
 protocol.   One  rung  up  the  hierarchy are stations that
 identify using something like "Acme base  to  107",  giving
 the  listener  a  clue  for  his  log.  If call letters are
 given, they are often rendered unintelligible by  operators
 who  fail  to  enunciate.   The failure to identify is more
 likely due to sloppiness, rather than any attempt  to  hide
 station identity.

 While not regulated by the FCC,  federal  government  radio
 stations  vary  in  the extent to which they identify their
 transmissions.  Some federal  stations  do  not  have  call
 letters.    A   nearby   paging   transmitter  periodically
 transmits a voice recording announcing, "This is  the  Army
 Joliet  Ammunition  Plant."  What more could a listener ask
 for?

 Aside from a scanner and antenna, the most useful piece  of
 equipment  for sleuthing is a voice actuated (VOX) cassette
 tape recorder.  You don't need a  high  fidelity  model  or
 anything  fancy.   I  use  two  modified Radio Shack CTR-75
 recorders, a discontinued model.

 VOX recorders allow one to compress a whole day's worth  of
 monitoring  onto  a  single tape.  I often leave a recorder
 "armed" and connected to a scanner at home while  I  am  at
 the  office or doing something else.  When call letters are
 mumbled, I can play and replay the tape until  I  hear  and
 understand them.

 The following examples illustrate techniques I've  used  to
 derive new frequency information.



             Examine the FCC License on Premise

 I have found the actual FCC radio  license,  complete  with
 frequency  assignments, hanging on the walls of places like
 the Bell Labs security office and the guard shack at  Waste
 Management's Greene Valley Landfill in Naperville.



            Examine the Labels on Radio Equipment

 Frequency information is engraved on labels on the back  of
 many  walkie-talkies,  or  inside  the battery compartment,
 like in the Motorola HT220 model.  Most pagers have  labels
 on  the  bottom  or  inside.   Like  passwords  taped  onto
 terminals, it's not uncommon to find Dymo or  P-Touch  tape
 labels  embossed  with frequencies or call letters glued to
 the front of base stations.

 You  can  make  your  own  opportunities  for  eyeing   the
 equipment  or  take  advantage  of "open house" events.  If
 information is displayed publicly, then a reasonable person
 could assume it's not government secret.

    - At the annual Glenview Naval Air Station open house, I
      examined  a  military  manpack  radio  being  used  by
      dispensary paramedics.  The radio's  tuning  dial  was
      set at 34.15 MHz.

    - The Illinois Army National Guard displayed two armored
      personnel  carriers  at  the  local  county fair, each
      equipped with VHF-FM and HF-SSB transceivers.

      In addition to a  tuning  control  (VFO),  the  VHF-FM
      radio  had  a  set of channel select pushbuttons, much
      like those in a car radio. I asked a guardsman  a  few
      questions  about  the  radio,  and he demonstrated the
      channel preset feature.  A  panel  above  the  channel
      pushbuttons  was labeled with the frequencies: 32.055,
      34.45, 35.35, 40.55, and 40.60 MHz.

    - An Army National Guard UH1 helicopter was displayed at
      the  Marseilles  armory  "open house".  The public was
      permitted   to   climb   aboard,   and   observe   the
      instrumentation  and  radio  gear.  A channel plate on
      the   instrument   cluster   listed   over   a   dozen
      frequencies.

 Hobbyists are urged to exercise a modicum of restraint  and
 good judgement.  In New Jersey, a radio technician/hobbyist
 called to service  a  transmitter  in  a  county  building,
 noticed  a new unattended repeater installation in the same
 room.  Being curious about what frequency this repeater was
 on,  he opened the access door to copy the frequencies from
 the  radio's  crystals.   It  turns  out  that  this  radio
 belonged  to  the US Secret Service, and opening the access
 door could have activated a "tamper alarm"!

 The  tech  was  skating  on  thin  ice.   He  had  nobody's
 permission to tamper with that equipment.

 Another source of frequency information is as close as your
 nearest  Radio Shack store.  Some Radio Shack stores make a
 local frequency list  available  to  assist  their  scanner
 customers.   Be  sure  to  ask.  Stores located in shopping
 malls almost always know the mall security frequencies.   I
 often check the frequencies programmed into the floor model
 scanners, too.



           Equipment to Determine Frequency Usage

 If you don't know the exact frequency, but have  a  general
 idea  of the range (e.g. 150 - 152 MHz), use your scanner's
 "search"  mode.   Most  programmable  scanners  afford  the
 ability  to  search between two frequency limits set by the
 user.  Some models, including  the  Radio  Shack  PRO-2035,
 ICOM  R7000/R7100,  Bearcat  2500XLT, and Bearcat 250, have
 the ability to automatically store active frequencies found
 during an unattended search operation.

 To find the frequency of a hotel communications system, one
 fellow  installed  his Bearcat 250 in his car and parked in
 the hotel lot, leaving  the  scanner  in  the  "search  and
 store"  mode.   He  left  the  antenna  disconnected so the
 scanner  would  only  respond  to  a  transmitter  in   the
 immediate vicinity.

 Test equipment can aid  in  the  quest  for  new  frequency
 information.  I've used a spectrum analyzer connected to an
 outside antenna, and a frequency counter for close-in work.


               How Can I Determine To Whom I'm
                   Listening? - An Example

 While scanning the industrial frequencies in  the  150  MHz
 range, a van driver was overheard communicating with "base"
 while driving around my town.  The stations involved  never
 used  FCC  call  signs  --  this would have made life a lot
 easier for me, and legal for them! (one may use FCC license
 microfiche,  described  in  Part  I  of  this  article,  to
 identify stations using call letters.)  Transmissions  were
 short  and infrequent, so it was decided to tape record all
 transmissions  on  this  frequency  for  several  days   to
 determine the station's identity.

 During daylight hours, a modified Regency K500 scanner  was
 left  tuned  to  the target frequency, connected to a cheap
 tape recorder through a  home  built  interface.   Using  a
 carrier  operated  relay, the tape interface supplied power
 to the recorder only during radio transmissions, so a day's
 worth of traffic could be compressed into a 45 minute tape.

 Each day, the tape was played  back  and  notes  on  names,
 locations,   and  activities  mentioned  during  the  day's
 transmissions were taken.  The van driver  appeared  to  be
 making  daily stops at a local bank and two shopping malls.
 A Walgreen's store seemed to be the only stop at one  mall.
 A  few  times, "base" ordered the van "back to the Training
 Center."   There  were  frequent  references   to   "guests
 checking  out",  "dropping a guest off", and "instructor[s]
 missing a class".  At times, "base" spoke with  "security",
 who  must  have  been  using a walkie-talkie as his signals
 weren't strong enough to hear.

 Was this a hotel?  Calls to the three local hotels revealed
 that  none  provides  shuttle  bus  service to the shopping
 malls.  A call  to  the  Walgreen's,  inquiring  about  bus
 service  to  the  store,  drew  another  blank.   During my
 shopping trips, I began to pay  closer  attention  to  vans
 with antennas driving through the parking lots.

 I was leaving the mall one day, when a week's  effort  paid
 off.   A  maroon  and  white  van,  equipped  with a VHF-Hi
 antenna, was dropping shoppers off at Walgreen's.   A  sign
 on the van's door read:


 XYZ Central Training Center (XYZ is  a  pseudonym  for  the
 actual licensee name.)
                       Lisle, Illinois


 I watched the driver pick up a microphone, and listened  to
 him on my portable scanner checking back with his "base".

 All the  pieces  fit:  the  "guests",  the  "classes",  the
 "instructors".   Mystery  solved; I had been monitoring the
 customer training center for a large computer manufacturer.
 The  training  center has hotel rooms and dining facilities
 to  accommodate  students  from  out  of   state.    As   a
 convenience,  shuttle  van  service  is  provided  to local
 shopping malls.


                           Summary

 Through books, government records, and radio clubs, scanner
 listeners can make use of frequency information compiled by
 others.  Two-way radio users often fail to  identify  their
 transmissions   properly,  making  it  more  difficult  for
 listeners to know who they are  monitoring.   By  examining
 radio   equipment   labeling,  and  monitoring  and  taping
 transmissions,  scanner   enthusiasts   can   unearth   new
 information.

The other day, I try to open my pro-36 and didn't succeed because one screw
seem to be hide behind the serial number tape...  so I removed the tape and
find a kind of hole fill with plastic... anyway I just want to know if
someone had already open a pro-36 or any other radio shack radio and how to
proceed??? thanks...

David:

You are not prying. Service to the public is what we are all about! When
you do come to Los Angeles, please let me know and I'll be happy to offer
you a personal tour of our communications center (OCD).

You read correctly. More than 120 separate LAFD locations over an area of
nearly 470 square miles are connected to our OCD by way of separate and
moitored 56K lines. While we refer to these as "telephone lines", they
are more correcclty identified as "data lines". The verbage that was
included in the OCD page was from when we used twisted wire pairs. These
are triple redundant (twisted wire pair and microwave) and supervised.

Do bring your scanner to Los Angeles. What others have heard and what you
will hear is a SIMULCAST of a portion of the audio that we "ring in" to
the Fire Stations. For the most part, you will be able to monitor most of
what is necessary of the DISPATCH through simulcast. There are some
situations (Bomb Threats, Hostage Situations, SWAT Team Standbys, etc>
that we do NOT simulcast the dispatch.

As for Fireground activity, you can now (and will then) be able to hear
our TACTICAL radio traffic in clear english on our fully repeated (non-
digital/non-trunking) 800 MHz radio system.

The Los Angeles City Fire Department has never dispatched resources used
the "Plectron-type" two tone sequential tones that are used by many
agencies. Even the LA County Fire Department abandoned its two-tone
sequential tones (made famous on "Emergency") to adopt a system similar
to ours.

We are impelementing an AVL and MDT system and will update the details on
our WWW Home Page when the system is up and fully running. Our URl is:

             http://www.ci.la.ca.us/department/LAFD/index.html

We look forward to your visit to Los Angeles. Happy Monitoring!

I am not an expert on LAFD, but I have been monitoring them for years.
They are now on computer aided dispatch ( I think that is what it is
called>)  The dispatch knows where they are at all times.  For the most
part they dispatch, both ways ( I think), I have yet to miss a call.

We appreciate your continued interest in our agency and its endeavors.


>They are now on computer aided dispatch

The LAFD has been on a CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) since June 26, 1973.

We will be moving from that continuosly improved system (described on our
WWW Page), also known as FCCS I (Fire Command and Control Sytem 1) to our
new FCCS II within the year.


>The dispatch knows where they are at all times.

Since 1973 we have beeen using (radio technology) Mobile Status Encoding
Units, also known as "digicoms" on our apparatus to modify unit status
and location. That has helped us kep down on the meaningless radio
chatter and offer plenty of action to the monitoring enthusiast. Our FCCS
II system, when fully operational, will utilize AVL and MDT's.


> For the most part they dispatch, both ways ( I think)

Yes, if a unit shows "on the radio" (via their digicom), we will give
them all of the details of their dispatch "on ther air". Otherwise, what
you are hearing is a SIMULCAST (of what we wish to have heard), and not
the full dispatch info that comes over the Fire Station Public Address
system.


> I have yet to miss a call.

Once again, under normal conditions, you will hear @ 85% of our
DISPATCHES and 100% of our TACTICAL repeated traffic on your scanner. We
don't use "codes" and jargon is kept to an absolute minimum. We broadcast
in a conventional (non-trunking) analog (non-digital) format. Because of
this, even an out of town monitoring enthusiast can enjoy listening the
moment they arrive.

I hope that I have been able to answer your questions.

Happy Monitoring!

Brian,
        I'm a little lost heer myself. As you know I listen to LAFD when
I'm back home. When you hear over the radio for instance "Task Force 88,
engine 83 Battalion ten to the structure bla bla bla," is that only a
snipit of what is going out over the staion radio at the same time or is
it a second voice dispatch done a few moments after the units are toned
out in quarters?

        Also, are you guys similar to VCFD when rolling on EMS calls
where all you have to do is update your mst and not verbally reply on the
radio? And are some of your ems calls never sent out over the radio
'simocast' and everything is handled strictly with the digacom?

        One other question that has puzzled me for years is that the LAFD
radio traffic, although on repeater, at least for me, only seems to come
in while in the LAFD area. Why is that? I can't get it say at Malibu
Canyon and 101 (sorry to all who have no clue what I'm talking about) but
when I get over the hill to Parkway Calabassas whammo, clear as day. Is
it just my scanner?

 Have R7000 that also whines at some times. I believe it was comming from
the display unit, if I put pressure on it I could eliminate the whine.
This was done with the top cover off to access the unit.  Icom has a
SB on the display unit that had some componet changes to correct the
problem.  If one day you switch the radio on and there is no display
then likely you have a dislay unit failure or DC to DC converter failure.
Since the R7100 uses a LCD display rather than the floresent dislay
I would expect the whine is a different problem.

hey folkz. I am interested in buying a scanner. Probably the best reason

would be fun to have>.  Anyway, I called a couple mailorder places out of
Popular Communications and they told me the "one to get" is the SC150;
one guy told me it already came able to pick up cellular <somehow i doubt
that though.> I would like something easily modifyable and rather
inexpensive. should also be able to pick up a wide range of cool freq's.
Thanks so much if anyone has any suggestions.  Oh, also, Im not looking
to spend more then about $180ish and it should be handheld.  Thanks! :)

  In Connecticut the State Police department operate primarily in 42.000
freqencies...42.040, 42.480, 42.360, etc., etc...they have about eight
frequencies in this bandwith and during the summer eves and morns...they
ave to transfer troops from one channel to another when the skip gets bad.
They send an advisory on an inter-troop channel describing the shifts of
different troops to different frequencies

pencil? First, they were red & fat in Elementary school.Then, they became
thinner and yellow..Later, "mechanical"...Now my keystrokes sail into the

Scanner gurus:

Is there an internet resource available where I can find out who is using a

given frequency (say 155.865 MHz) in a given location (say Dayton Ohio)?  I

am refurbishing a Motorola Mitrek radio and am receiving some stuff on that

frequency but I have no idea what it is.  The radio is going to be converted

to ham frequencies before I transmit on it, but I'd like to get an idea as

to how well its receiving whatever it is receiving now (ie, how far away this

signal is coming from?)



It may be police or fire or something else.  I dont know.



Thanks in advance for your assistance.

                  Introduction to Scanning
                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTES: This article may not be reproduced in whole or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.  Free distribution is encouraged.]

 This  introduction  is  intended  for  people  new  to  the
 scanning  hobby and is oriented to scanning in the USA.  It
 tells where you can buy your first scanner,  what  features
 it  should  have, where to get it repaired if required, how
 to get frequency information, and mentions  a  few  scanner
 clubs worth joining.

 The author writes a monthly "Scanner Equipment" column  for
 Monitoring  Times magazine, published by Grove Enterprises,
 but views expressed in this article are his own.


                        Why Scanning?

 Every day and night, scanner hobbyists are  entertained  by
 what  they  overhear  on  their  radios.  Police cars, fire
 engines,  ambulances,  airplanes,  armored  cars,   trains,
 taxis,  and  buses are all equipped with radios and you can
 listen to them.  You can monitor the local sheriff and fire
 departments  to  hear about events "as they happen," before
 the news reporters hear about them.  Hostage  dramas,  bank
 robberies,  car  crashes,  chemical  spills,  neighbor  and
 domestic disputes, tornado sightings are all fair game.  In
 a single afternoon, you can hear a high speed police chase,
 Drug  Enforcement  agents  on  a   sting   operation,   and
 undercover FBI agents as they stakeout a suspect.

 How about listening to  a  presidential  candidate  discuss
 strategy  with his advisor from a 415 MHz radiophone in Air
 Force 1, or a team of G-men protect him while  transmitting
 in the 167 MHz range?

 Baby monitor intercoms are actually  transmitters  and  you
 can hear them between 49.67 and 49.99 MHz.

 Stay ahead of road conditions by listening to highway  road
 crews,  snow  plows,  and  traffic helicopter pilots.  Many
 midwesterners monitor  the  state  police  and  and  county
 sheriff  to  learn  of  approaching  tornados  long  before
 warnings are broadcast on TV and  commercial  radio.   Take
 your  scanner  to  sporting  events  and listen to race car
 drivers, football coaches, etc., in the 151, 154,  and  468
 MHz ranges.

 Monitor the everyday hustle and bustle of businesses,  from
 cable  TV  repair  crews  tracking  down pirate descrambler
 boxes, to security guards at your nuclear  power  plant  or
 mall security guards chasing a shoplifter.


                     Is Scanning Legal?

 In the United States, scanning from your home or at work is
 perfectly   legal   in  most  situations.   The  Electronic
 Communications Privacy Act  of  1986  made  it  illegal  to
 listen  to  mobile phones, common carrier paging, and a few
 other types of communication.  A new law outlaws  listening
 to  cordless  phones,  too,  but  many scanners cover these
 frequencies, and it's clear that Americans still listen  to
 whatever  they  want  in  the  privacy  of  their own homes
 despite the laws.

 It  is  now  illegal  for  companies   to   sell   recently
 manufactured scanners which cover or can be easily modified
 to cover the  cellular  phone  frequencies,  but  sales  by
 private individuals will still be allowed.

 Speaking of privacy, federal law also requires you to  keep
 what  you  hear to yourself and not use the information you
 hear on your scanner for personal gain.

 Be aware  that  several  states  have  laws  pertaining  to
 scanning   while  in  your  car.   Indiana  restricts  some
 portable scanners.  A few states  have  enacted  their  own
 laws  against  listening  to cordless phones.  You can find
 out about these restrictions in a paperback book, Listeners
 Lawbook,  compiled by Frank Terranella, Esq.  available for
 $9.95  +  shipping  from  Grove  Enterprises,  PO  Box  98,
 Brasstown, NC 28902.


                 What Scanner Should I Buy?

 Radio Shack and Uniden  (maker  of  Bearcat,  Regency,  and
 Cobra brands) offer a wide choice of scanners.  Radio Shack
 scanners are actually manufactured  by  both  GRE  (General
 Research  Electronics)  and by Uniden.  Personally, I don't
 recommend Trident nor  many  of  the  AOR  brand  scanners,
 although the AR8000 and AR3000 have good reputations.

 Programmable  (synthesized)  units  have  replaced  crystal
 controlled  models  as  they  don't  require  crystals  and
 usually have a keypad that permits you to store frequencies
 into  channels.   Programmables are now so cheap it doesn't
 make sense to buy a  crystal  unit  as  your  main  scanner
 unless you get it for under $45 or so.

 You can get a battery operated hand held scanner, a  bigger
 "base"  scanner  which  is  powered from an AC outlet, or a
 mobile scanner which connects  to  your  auto's  electrical
 system.   There  are  tradeoffs -- base and mobile scanners
 have larger displays and almost always provide  more  audio
 than  portables,  and  some  portables  are  more  prone to
 interference when connected to outdoor antennas  than  base
 models.   But  when  severe weather knocks out the power in
 your home, there's nothing like having a  battery  operated
 scanner   to   monitor   the   power   utility  and  police
 frequencies!

 Make sure your first scanner:

  1.  has a "search" feature, which allows it to search  all
      the  frequencies  between two frequency limits of your
      choosing.  The lowest cost programmables can't search.
  2.  covers the 800 MHz band.  Usage of the 800 -  950  MHz
      band  is  growing  fast  and  you will miss out on the
      action unless your scanner covers this band.

 If you're not sure whether you'll like scanning, don't want
 to  spend  much  money,  a  40  channel  radio will do.  In
 general, the more channels and banks, the better.

 Most of the action takes place on  frequencies  between  30
 and 1000 MHz, so don't be misled by scanner models boasting
 coverage from 3 to 2000 MHz.  There's currently not much to
 monitor in the 1000 - 2000 MHz range.

 If you are interested in receiving  short  wave,  that  is,
 signals  in  the 3 - 30 MHz range, it's best to get a short
 wave  radio  specifically  designed   for   that   purpose.
 Although  some  scanners receive the short wave band, their
 performance in that range is often poor.

 Deluxe scanners can be controlled by a  personal  computer,
 although  this  feature  isn't  important  to  many scanner
 owners.

 Almost  all  low  and  mid-priced  scanners  are  prone  to
 receiving  images  -- receiving the same signal erroneously
 on two or more frequencies.  With a few exceptions,  images
 are  undesireable 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 image reception.

 Currently,  the   more   popular   scanners   include   the
 Uniden/Bearcat  BC760XLT  (a/k/a  950XLT)  and discontinued
 Radio  Shack  PRO-2006  base/mobiles,  the   Uniden/Bearcat
 BC200XLT (a/k/a BC205XLT), BC220XLT, and Radio Shack PRO-43
 portables.  A number of owners  report  problems  with  the
 Icom  R1 portable and the older Uniden/Bearcat 8500XLT base
 and 2500XLT portable.  The new Uniden  replacement  models,
 the  BC9000XLT  and  BC3000XLT,  work  very well and are my
 current favorites.

 Considered by many as the best scanner ever made,  the  400
 channel  Radio Shack PRO-2006 has recently been replaced by
 the 1000 channel PRO-2035.  The portable Radio Shack PRO-62
 and  PRO-26 are good performers.  All four models employ up
 conversion and are made for Radio  Shack  by  GRE  (General
 Research Electronics).


                      Scanner Antennas

 All scanners come  with  a  built  in  antenna,  permitting
 reception up to about 20 miles or so.

 Portable scanners  are  supplied  with  a  helical  (spring
 shaped)  antenna,  covered by rubber.  Although it is small
 and 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.

 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 [phone].
      Telephone (orders only): [phone].

    - National Tower Company, PO Box 15417, Shawnee Mission,
      KS 66215.  Telephone [phone].

    - The Ham Station, 220 N. Fulton  Ave.,  Evansville,  IN
      47719-0522.  Telephone [phone].

    - Scanner World (Albany, NY). Telephone [phone].

    - Amateur Electronics Supply (Milwaukee, WI).  Telephone
      [phone].

 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

 If you  are  handy  with  a  soldering  iron,  you  may  be
 interested  in  modifying  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.

 Modification article files can be copied from  several  ftp
 sites including the /pub/ham-radio/mods directory at:


        ftp.cs.buffalo.edu
        garfield.catt.ncsu.edu
        oak.oakland.edu (IP address 141.210.10.117)

 KD4MOJ maintains a scanner modification server  for  people
 without  FTP  access.   You  can  request a list of scanner
 modifications by sending electronic mail with the words GET
 INDEX.TXT to [e-mail]


                    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 [phone])  -
       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 [phone]) -  This
       family  owned company repairs scanners and pagers and
       stocks parts for several older models.  G & G  cannot
       usually   repair   AOR   scanners   due  to  lack  of
       manufacturer support.  G & G sells and sometimes buys
       old  scanners  and  parts,  too.  They are located at
       9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482.


          Where Can I Obtain Frequency Information?

 To avoid chaos, the FCC licenses two-way  radio  users  and
 assigns  them  specific frequencies.  Groups of frequencies
 are allocated to specific types  of  users,  so  you  won't
 usually find fire departments using the same frequencies as
 taxi drivers, for example.

 Scanner enthusiasts can obtain frequency  information  from
 several  sources,  including  books,  government microfiche
 records, or other listeners.

 Books: The most convenient  source  of  fire,  police,  and
 local  government  frequencies  is Gene Hughes' Police Call
 Radio Guide, published each year in 9 regional  volumes  by
 Hollins Radio Data, and sold at Radio Shack and larger book
 stores.

 I also recommend the book, Monitor  America,  published  by
 SMB  Publishing  (now  known as Scanner Master Publishing),
 and available from Grove Enterprises for about $30.  A  new
 3rd  edition  is  expected  in early 1995.  Monitor America
 contains several pages of police, fire,  local  government,
 news  media,  sports,  federal  government,  and commercial
 broadcast frequencies  for  all  50  states.   It  contains
 detailed  communications  system profiles and precinct maps
 for major metropolitan areas.  Police and fire radio  codes
 and  unit  identifiers  unique to local agencies are listed
 for several cities.  This differs from Police  Call,  which
 gives  a  more sterile, but uniform treatment of licensees,
 listing even the smallest of towns.

 Uniden has published several regional directories using the
 "Betty  Bearcat"  name,  although  there  are  much  better
 directories   available   from   Scanner   Master   (Newton
 Highlands, MA, tel. [phone]) 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. [phone]) and  Kneitel's
 sensationalistic  Popular  Communications,  (tel.  516-681-
 2922).  National Scanning  Report  is  a  national  scanner
 magazine   published   bimonthly  and  is  affiliated  with
 Uniden's Bearcat Radio Club.  It may disappoint experienced
 scanner  hobbyists and is better suited for beginners.  The
 best scanner  frequency  lists  are  often  found  in  club
 publications,  not  commercial magazines, and are discussed
 later.

 Government Records: Every year, the US Government sells FCC
 license  information,  in  the  form  of microfiche, floppy
 disk, and magnetic tape,  to  the  public  through  the  US
 Department   of  Commerce  National  Technical  Information
 Service (NTIS).  The high cost of buying government records
 limits their appeal to hardcore enthusiasts.  You can write
 for a catalog of FCC Master Frequency Database items to the
 NTIS, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161.

 The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. [phone]), a
 private  company,  to  sell  FCC license information to the
 public on CDROMs.  You can buy the full license information
 for  a  multi  state  region  or  a  less  detailed license
 database covering the the entire USA  on  CDROM  for  about
 $100.  The PerCon Spectrum CDROM sells for $29 and contains
 a handful of fields for every FCC license in the  US.   The
 Spring   1995  edition  works  in  DOS,  Windows,  and  Mac
 environments.

 Grove enterprises sells FCC license  information  on  CDROM
 for  $100.   In the 1995 edition, fields are different than
 PerCon's Spectrum CDROM but the data appears to be  of  the
 same vintage.  The licensee name and licensee city are used
 instead of the DBA (doing business as) name and transmitter
 city which makes query results confusing.

 As I have already done for hundreds  of  radio  enthusiasts
 and  companies  across  the  country,  I  will  locate  FCC
 licensed and selected FAA transmitter sites in an  area  of
 your   choice,   in   any   state,  and  produce  a  custom
 RadioMap(TM) report, including  an  8-1/2"  by  11"  scaled
 color  map,  protected  by plastic.  The map is marked with
 transmitter sites,  cities,  highways,  airports,  military
 installations, national parks, etc.

 RadioMap allows you to identify antenna sites and visualize
 the  transmitter  locations in your neighborhood, near your
 office, and other places of interest --  from  VLF  through
 microwave.   The  report  lists frequencies, callsigns, and
 licensee  names.   RadioMap  covers  police,  fire,   local
 government,   TV,   business,   industry,  common  carrier,
 railroad, trucking, and  many  more  types  of  transmitter
 sites,   excluding   ham   radio  stations.   Wireline  and
 nonwireline cellular phone and AM/FM broadcast  transmitter
 sites are clearly marked using unique color icons.

 RadioMap has been very favorably reviewed in  RCMA  Scanner
 Journal,   American   Scannergram,  and  USSN.   Industrial
 customers  use  RadioMap  reports  to  survey  the   "radio
 environment"  prior  to installation of radios and wireless
 microphones at customer sites.  RadioMap is  also  used  to
 find sources intermod interference problems.

 The  RadioMap  processes  and  software  are   unique   and
 proprietary.   Unlike  "more tame" maps, RadioMap shows the
 locations of military bases, ammunition  plants,  arsenals,
 weapons factories, and other military installations.

 For a flat fee, you  choose  the  center  location,  and  I
 choose the range, depending on transmitter site density:

         suburbs: 5 mile range (100 sq. mi. area)
         rural areas: 10 or more miles (400 sq. mi. area)
         dense urban area: 1 - 2 mile range

 Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing.

 A custom RadioMap report costs $20.95 plus  $5.00  shipping
 and handling.  Send $25.95 (check or money order payable to
 Bob Parnass) for each RadioMap report, your name,  address,
 and  telephone  number, along with center location (nearest
 intersection of 2 streets, or latitude & longitude) to: Bob
 Parnass,   2350  Douglas  Road,  Oswego,  IL  60543.   tel.

            Do Your Own Frequency Detective Work

 When you try listening to a frequency for the  first  time,
 you'll want to know who you're hearing.

 Although FCC rules require radio systems to identify  their  |
 operations   with   their   assigned  call  letters  either  |
 automatically or  verbally,  most  ignore  the  regulation.
 This  often makes it difficult to know who is transmitting.
 Moreover, many radios  are  now  being  placed  in  service
 illegally,   without   first  obtaining  the  required  FCC
 license.

 There  is  a  challenge  in  deriving  new  spectrum  usage
 information  on  your  own.   Sometimes it requires several
 days of  listening,  taping,  and  compiling  fragments  of
 information.   Other  times,  the  frequency information is
 there for the taking - without hassle.

 You can approach from two directions:

   1.  Listen first: Monitor a frequency or frequencies, and
       try  to determine who's transmitting and what purpose
       the channel serves.  Once you identify the user,  log
       the information.

   2.  Compile first: Take advantage of opportunities,  such
       as  examining the frequency label on a guard's radio,
       or reading the FCC  license  hanging  on  the  "radio
       room"  wall, to compile frequency lists, then monitor
       the listed  frequencies  to  confirm  that  they  are
       really  in  use.   Readers  are urged to abide by the
       rules of good taste and local laws in the  quest  for
       frequency  information.   Don't trespass, wait for an
       invitation.

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.

 You can examine the FCC license on premise.  I  have  found
 the  actual  FCC  radio  license,  complete  with frequency
 assignments, hanging on the walls of places like  the  mall
 security  office  or  company guard shack.  You can examine
 the labels on radio equipment.   Frequency  information  is
 engraved  on  labels on the back of many walkie-talkies, or
 inside the battery compartment, like in the Motorola  HT220
 model.   Most  pagers  have labels on the bottom or inside.
 Like passwords taped onto terminals, it's not  uncommon  to
 find labels embossed with frequencies or call letters glued
 to the front of base stations.

 You  can  make  your  own  opportunities  for  eyeing   the
 equipment  or  take  advantage  of "open house" events.  If
 information is displayed publicly, then a reasonable person
 could  assume  it's  not  government secret.  Hobbyists are
 urged  to  exercise  a  modicum  of  restraint   and   good
 judgement, however.

                   How Can I Use Equipment
                 to Uncover New Frequencies?

 If you don't know the exact frequency, but have  a  general
 idea  of the range (e.g. 150 - 152 MHz), use your scanner's
 "search"  mode.   Most  programmable  scanners  afford  the
 ability  to  search between two frequency limits set by the
 user.  A few models, like the ICOM R7000/R7100, and R1, and
 older  Bearcat  250  and  Regency K500, have the ability to
 automatically store  active  frequencies  found  during  an
 unattended search operation.

 To find the frequency of a hotel communications system, one
 fellow  installed  his Bearcat 250 in his car and parked in
 the hotel lot, leaving  the  scanner  in  the  "search  and
 store"  mode.   He  left  the  antenna  disconnected so the
 scanner  would  only  respond  to  a  transmitter  in   the
 immediate vicinity.

 Aside from a scanner and antenna, the most useful piece  of
 equipment  for sleuthing is a voice actuated (VOX) cassette
 tape recorder.  You don't need a  high  fidelity  model  or
 anything fancy, a Radio Shack CTR-82 will do.  It's best to
 use a shielded, attenuating cable to feed the scanner audio
 into  the  recorder  rather  than relying on the recorder's
 internal microphone.

 VOX recorders allow one to compress a whole day's worth  of
 monitoring  onto  a  single tape.  I often leave a recorder
 "armed" and connected to a scanner at home while  I  am  at
 the  office or doing something else.  When call letters are
 mumbled, I can play and replay the tape until  I  hear  and
 understand them.

 Test equipment can aid  in  the  quest  for  new  frequency
 information.  I've used a spectrum analyzer connected to an
 outside antenna, and a frequency counter for close-in work.


                Are There Any Scanner Clubs?

 One of the best parts of the hobby is sharing it with other
 radio  buffs.   Trading  information  with  other hobbyists
 about frequencies,  communication  systems,  and  receiving
 equipment is more valuable than any pile of magazines.

 The   world's   largest   scanner   club   is   the   Radio
 Communications  Monitoring  Association (RCMA).  Founded in
 1975, the RCMA is the  "first  national  and  international
 organization   of  monitor  radio  listeners."   There  are
 several regional  chapters  which  hold  regular  meetings.
 Club  dues  are $24.00 per year, which includes the monthly
 RCMA Journal, which consists  of  approximately  95  pages.
 Although  the  focus  is  on  VHF  and UHF ranges, there is
 coverage of HF utility stations below 30 MHz.

 Inquiries about RCMA membership  should  be  sent  to  RCMA
 General Manager, P.O. Box 542, Silverado, CA 92676, USA.


                    All Ohio Scanner Club

 A smaller club is the All Ohio Scanner Club.  Its bimonthly
 publication,  The  American  Scannergram, is about 60 pages
 long.  Although concentrating on Ohio and the  Northeastern
 states,  there  is frequency information from other states,
 and plenty of good product reviews and scanning tips.

 Annual dues are $18.50 and more  information  is  available  |

               Dave Marshall, Managing Editor
               All Ohio Scanner Club,

               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
 [phone].

 Here  is  a  tentative  meeting  schedule  for  1995.   All
 meetings  will  be held on Saturdays at locations announced
 in advance.

The 220XLT is a nice scanner.  Lots of features. Good audio. Grat battery life.  It's only real
problem is that since it is double conversion, it is prone to images.  Usually not a big problem, but
if you live near an airport you'll get plane chatter in the 155MHz public service band.

To the best of my knowledge in NYS it is not legal to have a scanner
operating in the vehicle.  If you are transporting the scanner and it is
not wired to the car (including using the lighter outlet as a power
source), it would be pretty hard to prove you were using it.  I am not a
lawyer, but it seems to me that if you get stopped and the scanner is on
and the officer/trooper hears it, you would be asking for trouble.  Sounds
like a good case for common sense.
Also, NYS vehicle and traffic law mentions a permit for operation of the
scanner, but I have never found out who issues such permits and it's been
a running joke in several publications since no agency will acknowledge
that they are authorized to do so.

If you live in the New York area, try monitoring 146.805 on Tuesday evenings
at 8PM for the Monitoring Long Island Sounds club. They share and exchange
freqs common to the listeners and scanning tips. They also will give you an
address to send in comments, questions, etc.

Hi,

I've seen a couple of posts regarding monitoring USGS earth tremor
sensor stations. Are these data transmissions? And if so, how are you
monitoring them? For that matter how do you monitor any data
transmissions, including police mobile data terminals? Is it legal?

Requires Motorola software and a special connector and interface to your
computer. Depending on the model, it may (most likely) not work in the
range you desire. Software may limit it.
If you cannot use it, let me know. I might be able to sell it for you to
someone who use it on a freq. it was designed for.

Fellow Race Fans...

I am trying to find a recent issue of all the current
NASCAR frequencies for the upcoming Diehard 500 at
Talladega in late July.  Does anyone know of a current
list out there, or maybe you could point me to an ftp site.

Last year, I got several lists of freqs from usenet
and also from a couple of ftp sites, but...

I put all those freqs in the scanner and when I got to
the track, 95% of them were scrambled.  I guess the
race teams don't want the competition listening in.

Are there any drivers left who don't scramble their
signal?

Also, does anyone know any other freqs that would be
cool to listen to at the track...  Alabama State Police,
EMS, track officials, safety crews, Television, etc, etc.
I am going to be at the track for three days, so some of
these might be cool to listen to.

Thanks everybody.

A really top notch HF receiver covering up to 34mhz with computer interface
and DOS software for the low price of $750 is offered. Don't forget that
with the FM demodulator which is standard that it will do well on the low band
VHF as well (up to 34mhz). I get lots of skip in the morning till afternoon
from the Eastern seaboard. The software runs under DOS.

Buyer pays shipping.

Joe,

Yes you can but you need to call Opto and obtain their interface that
converts the ver3.0 outputs to AOR format although I'm not sure if this
is available just yet.   Your other alternative is to try and trade
in/exchange/swap/sell the one you have for a 3.1 version.

Joe:

Since the Scouts v1-3 only output CI-V commands, you would need the Opto
ARCX cable ($35-$40).  This translates the incoming CI-V command (from
the Scout) and output a AOR command (to the AR8k).

The ARCX cable has not been released yet.  I'll let you know what the
status is in the next couple days.

Actually it plugs into your receiver / scanner.  I know what you mean
about the volume sensitivity.  A perfect solution which worked for me was
to use the tape out jack on my 2006.  That, and an outside antenna tuned
to the 900 Mhz band makes this system bulletproof.

good luck

Does anyone have, or know where I can find, a listing of what the
various police codes mean (ie. for the different types of crimes they
go to, etc.).  I'm in the Houston area, if that makes any difference.

You shouldn't have anymore than 5 to ten frequencies per net for trunked.
I've never heard of a twenty channel trunked net.
You may have more than one net programed.  Check the frequency listing and
single out the individual frequency licenses by group.

There are definately trunked radio systems with more than 10 channels out
there.

Detroit, Michigan has a 20-channel trunked radio system.
Wayne County, Michigan has a 16-channel system.

Yeah, I noticed it! :-(  Here's an interesting story.  I went down to the
NOOA office and asked why their forecast was on the police freqs.  After
going to several people, nobody knew, and denied that it was possible.
Then, finally, someone remembered that the police told them that they were
going to rebroadcast it. Hmmmm...

Well, since that's our Federal Tax money at work, and now it was going on
our City tax money, I called the Mayors office.  They didn't know anything
about it.  They gave me the number for the police.  I called the police.
They gave me the number for Dennis Quaid (sp?) who is in charge of the
radio system.  After about 20 rings, I got his answering machine.  I left
the question of why the weather was on the Police radio.  The machine
said he returned all calls the same day.  I didn't get a return call that
day.  Or the next.  However, the next day, and today, they aren't
broadcasting the NOOA stuff.  Very strange....  I did get a call today,
and he told me a story about why they are doing it.  It's because the
new radios in the vehicles don't have the capability to pick up the
weather....

I noticed that too.  Is this legal?  Did the local NOAA office consent to this?
It doesn't matter too much to me--I still listen to their old 460 MHz system.
The PPB frequency which I suspect will hog the trunked system will be net 8
(records).

Maybe the officers and fire fighters wanted weather information :-) :-) :-)

I'm looking for vehicular mounts for the Radio Shack Pro-2006.  I want two
of them and am willing to pay $15 each.  I also want to run the radio off
of my vehicle's fusebox, and would like to hear any advice on how to wire
this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

 Bob...have you done a comparison between the two models?  I thought the
'26 was less sensitive in the 800 Mhz and 460 area.  Couldn't pick up
Naperville trunked systems too well here in Wheaton.  And the Chicago freqs
were being skipped while the 2500 locked onto almost all of them.  Didn't I
see somewhere that you were going to publish a review on this in MT
sometime soon?

New version of PRO-2026 can not be modified for the Cellular  Freqs.
only way is to buy scanner 800MHz converter, from CROVE  or Ramsy Electronic.

I bought scannerwear and it sucks. It looks impressive
but the software is pure BS. It lacks te ability to delay after
carrier drop which makes it useless

I just bought a radio shack all band antenna and mounted it..In the
instructions it says to ground the antenna using 8 gauge wire from the
base of the antenna to a steak in the ground. I hooked up the antenna
without the ground and get great reception. What is the purpose of
hooking up the ground? Will it improve my signal any? Or is it just for
safety reasons like lightning and static discharge? Please let me know
because i dont want to go through the hassle if i dont have to..

Thanks

Does anyone out there have any experience using the ramsey
descramber/scramber? For the price of $39.95, is it really worth it?
Please let me know if you can help me out, Thanx.

I've used the SS-7 descrambler, but it does not absolutely
clear up all speech inversion transmissions.  I suppose the
new SS-70 could be better, but I'm not gonna try it.

The only problem I have with the Ramsey descrambler is the amount of
white noise injected into the descrambled audio line.  The voice can be
understood, but it comes out small and surrounded by hiss.  I read that
there is a fix to this; perhaps that could be reposted.

I find that the Bearcat 200xlt works well when combined with a GOOD set
of headphones, ie: David Clark.  Have worked well at Indianapolis,
Daytona, Charlotte and Michigan.  Several companies advertise in racing
publications packages with scanner, volumn modifications, long life
batteries and headphones.  They also sell subscriptions to frequencies
used by teams and even have LIVE updates on the day of the race at the
track.

You may also find scanner dealers at the tracks with team collectable
trailers.

Good luck!

As a radio scanner nut, I've been wondering if Co$ has any
freqs registered with the FCC. Can anyone out there with FCC
data on CD-ROM do a search? I think interesting freqs might
be their admin and security, but I doubt the smaller orgs
(like Houston) would have much need for radio comms.

The two best sources are:

U.S. Scanner Pub's
1800-890-6999
Order the Washington book.  I think that it has been updated recently.  It
is the best guide for the area since Mike McKenna put his books out in the
late 70's.

Police Call
At almost any Radio Shack
Order the WA, OR and CA book (all in one).  Lots of great info, not as
easy to find as in the above one.

If you want to listen to Seattle you will have to get a guide as both the
police and fire have gone to a new 800 mhz system.  As you might expect
the system has had many, many problems.  I would have liked to hear the
conversation between the Pres. of Motorola and the mayor of Sea.  At that
time the only fire was up on the system and it was going down one or two
times a night.  In fact Seattle Fire has put in an 800 simplex system for
use at major fires.  There is a receiver at each fire station and at each
trunk site.  Seattle police is in the process of switching over.  I think
that Capitol Hill is already over.

You can still listen to SPD on the old freq's (N 460.075  S 460.475  Dtown
460.175  Chill 460.125  Tac 460.25 and 460.425    MARS (central P.Sound
common 460.55)

Seattle fire is only using one of the old freq's 453.8 for call out only.

Other funn stuff
KIRO radio 161.64
Traf. helo common 122.775
Airlift Nortwest
   Medcom 463.1
   Dispatch 155.295
   Long range 129.825

Lots of great stuff out there.  Email is you have any spacific ?'s  Also
let me know if you are into the hobby FAR enough to take part in meetings
(every-so-often) of a group that has been meeting for over 20 years.  We
talk about some really wierd stuff having to do with local activities.

I was about to put in the same freq listing request when I saw Bruce's
post (weird--must be some kind of Seattle "zen" thing).

Anyway, I am also interested in Seattle area freqs.  Please e-mail me as
well, or better yet, post any replies.

As, far as I observed  (in my sit-along with SJ dispatch) they use
whatever channel the event to which SJ 1 is dispatched to.  They might
use a specific channel to call it and let it know there's an event going
but they use the same channel to communicate with the helicopter.  If
you find out some more please let me know, thanks.

Based on my experience monitoring Air One, they just fly around and monitor the frequency of
the area they are over while they scan the  others.  Dispatch knows which frequncey they are on
and calls them into another area if needed.   Actually they seem to be self-dispatching - they
hear something that sound good and go there.

If someone could send me the frequency also, I would appreciate it.  I
have heard them from time to time on the other San Jose Channels, but I
cannot find it in any book for their dispatch.

: Questions :

: What is Spread Spectrum ?

        Spread spectrum is a generic term which represents a wide range
of techniques for modulating a signal over an entire band.  It is sort of
opposite of what most radios do now.  The idea is to use as much bandwidth
as possible as opposed to conventional technology in which the least
bandwidth is used.  Spread spectrum technology can range in
sophistication from simple analog frequency hopping (which most spread
spectrum cordless are), all the way up to fully public key encrypted
digital direct sequenced systems.

        I should point out here, that while spread spectrum in many cases
does obfiscate the communications, it is not the purpose of it, and it is
simply a different modulation technique.  I personally do not feel it is
a substitute for encryption for just this reason.

: If a phone is using Spread Spectrum, can someone still use a scanner
: to listen to a conversation like one can with the 46-49 Mhz phones ?

        A scanner...  Probably not a scanner alone, though if it were
imlemented poorly it is possible.  If however, you had some slightly more
sophisticated equipment (possibly one of those "Communications
Interceptors" sold by Optoelectronics) you might be able to effectively
listen to the frequency hopping ones.  As I mentioned, without
encryption, none of these technologies are secure.  Period.  The reason a
scanner doesn't work is because they aren't designed to listen to spread
spectrum signals, NOT because the spread spectrum device is hard to monitor.

        Now, interestingly, theoretically a direct sequence (digital)
phone with a long enough (and re-randomizing) chip sequence would
effectively form a one time pad, which is the only unbreakable encryption
scheme ever devised.  However, I am not aware of any phones which can
do that.

 : If a 900Mhz phone does not employ Spread Specturm, is it a correct
: assumption that these 900Mhz phones can be scanned like 46/49 Mhz
: phones ?

        Well, in theory just because a cordless phone is 46/49MHz doesn't
mean you can effectively listen in on it.  The Motorola SecureClear
scrambles (albeit badly) the signal making it difficult to listen in
without additional equipment.  Such a technology or more sophisticated
which are truly secure could be implemented on a 900 MHz phone without
spread spectrum.  Although, I don't know of any.

        I personally would buy a direct sequence 900 MHz cordless.  They
are rather expensive, and only fairly secure (although probably the most
secure you can get on any over the counter cordless phone), but they should
give the best performance in terms of clarity, range, etc.

I cut these from another list that I had, I think they should work for you.  They
are all used by storm trackers in the area.  I normally listen to the Dallas freq.
they seem to be the clearing house for all the storm info.  If you have a MAPSCO
map you should be able to determine the severe storm location down to the block

Whilst using a handheld scanner with a DC power lead, it seemed that
if the scanner were not placed upon the table-top but rather upon an
upturned glass, that reception was improved.

It may have just been the greater height, but would the insulating
properties give rise to any explanation?

This is stretching it, but perhaps when the scanner is elevated
on the glass, the DC lead now hangs vertically for several inches
between the socket on the scanner and the surface of the table.
Without the glass, the DC lead is horizontal.  Perhaps the DC
lead is being somehow coupled to the receiver, and acting
as part of the antenna system.  Most (but not all) UHF/VHF signals
are vertically polarized, thus reception might
improve if the DC lead, acting as a sort of antenna in addition
to the one on the radio, is now vertical.

It is also possible that the DC lead is coupled to ground thru
the transformer in the wall, and when horizontal, has an adverse
interaction with the reception pattern of the antenna.  When the
scanner is elevated on the glass, the DC lead now is several more inches
lower than the bottom of the real antenna than it was before,
thus having less of an effect on reception.

Other than that, I don't think it has anything to do with
the glass itself.  Does the scanner reception behave the same
on the glass WITHOUT the DC lead nearby?

You also might try just TAPING the DC lead plug NEAR the socket
on the scanner, but not plug it in, put the scanner back
on the glass, and see what the effect is.  Also try it with the
DC lead plugged in, but pulled from the wall socket.

One more thing - is the glass resting on a metal table?
I'd say that would have an effect.

Mike

What I have read on the equipment carried is that there are at least two spare
batteries for the PRC112 in the vest or the survival kit - can't remember
which.  The batteries can reportedly last up to 7 hours depending on how they
are used.  I guess that means as a beacon, sending code, or phone.

If I didn't know how long I was going to be on the ground waiting for help in
a hostile enviroment - I would likley use my battery power carefully also.

  Good question.  If you just happened to be 'passing through' this area of
the band, you may not be in any trouble.  I have read reports like yours
all the time in Monitoring Times magazine.  Never heard of anyone being
prosecuted for turning over a tape of a crime in progress.

It is now illegal to listen to regular cordless phone frequencies...
unless you are a party to or have permission from a party to the
conversation.

The taped conversation should not be admissable in court and evidence
gained based on the taped conversation would also be tainted. However, I
have not yet seen that it has been tested in court since the laws
changed.

You could be subject to prosecution. You could have been prior to the
most recent law change, as well, as it was illegal to pass the info to a
third party. I would guess your biggest legal 'threat' would be from
civil suit brought for invasion of privacy.

I got one at JDR Micro Devices in San Jose, Ca. Took about 45 minutes to
put it together. Then another hour to go "trolling". Yep, it works great
to get folks off your rear bumper.

The distributor is Electronic Rainbow, 6254 LaPas Trail, Indianapolis,
IN, 46268  [phone]. Cost was $39.00

If you want to spend $100.00 they also have a K-Band digital readout

Yes..I also saw the T-birds at Travis AFB a couple of years ago. As I recall,

I apologize for the late reply as I just saw your message. Anyway, here are a
few useful tips.....

Buy a handheld portable unit that has rechargeable nicad batteries. The handheld
is great cause you can take it anywhere. You dont want to get one that uses
regular batteries because you will go broke constantly buying new ones. Buy
one that has rechargeable nicads. Aviation band is from 110 to 140 MHz. The
Maritime freqs are at about 156 to about 158 MHz. Military is in the 300 Mhz
range and not all handhelds will pick that up. 2 Meter ham band runs at 144 to
about 140 MHz. Shortwave will also be difficult. Conventional broadcast stations
use about 450 456 MHz in the US. Good Luck, Radio Shack is a good place to go
to select a unit.

TV cable has a high loss and also you should have gotten 800 mg freqs  with it.

you are wrong, my friend, at least over here.
If you would look at the tv freqs, you would see that they range from the
low 50's up to over 800M.
A tv antenna makes a fine scanner beam.
And with a bit of trimmimg on the elements, it makes it even better.

Greetings. I say more power to them. True, some twerp might go through your
toolbox because your garage is opened by 2KHz tone at 27MHz.. BUT, this
stupidity is NOT going to change until the customers bitch and
manufacturers listen. This is akin Satan (the network security "tester")
and several system and password "testers" that are commonly available.
If it weren't for THOSE, people on my system would still have stupid
passwords like "green" and "unix".

People (aka designers/firms/etc) are as stupid as you let them be... It's
CHEAPER! If Sears and others see that it's $15 for a "universal remote"
(as Joel Kolstad put it) for garage openers exists and can be built by
the average John Doe, Jr.,  something GOOD is bound to happen.

Of course, you can be a dumb as the Fed and just bury your head in the
sand, like the fiasco with Cordless Phones. When the hell are these morons
going to figure out that you can NOT legislate away "snooping". Of course,
if the average Joe Blow and Jane Smance were smart enough to figure out
what was going on and start bitching to the industry and government, we
wouln't have these phones around! God, I was just "testing" and got BETTER
reception on my scanner of the headset than my REAL headset.

[Sorry... This topic ticks me off in general]

Take care.

Hi Pat,

A "Rule of Thumb" for VHF and UHF is:-

  AM  = VHF/UHF Aircraft (108-137MHz & 220-400MHz)
  WFM = Broadcast Band Radio and TV Sound
  NFM = Everybody else thats left


This is how some Tandy & Bearcat radios that do not have switchable
modes "think" - key a frequency in the airband and it will default to
AM, a Police frequency and it will go to NFM - whilst this is correct more
often than not you can sometimes find some users not in this anticipated
mode particulary here in the UK.

Does anyone have the frequencies for the Grateful Dead's wireless
monitor system?  I will be checking all the standard selections, but
was hoping to avoid the search process as the concert begins.
Apparently they do a bit of off-PA conversing between songs and this
may add some entertainment/comedy to whole affair.

Heres a few of the ones that I've found at Shoreline Amphitheater and

used more by the amateur grade wireless mics used on video cameras.

After talking to B. Cheek, he advised that 16 Mhz was the fastest speed
that had no reported lockups. I had previously tried 24 and 20 Mhz without
success. 16 Mhz has been running trouble free for over a year without
skipping any weak signals (compared to my other unmodified 2006).

RE GPS Reference signals, or Differential GPS.
I found that in a 24 hour period a graph showed the exact position.
I had the oportunity to use DGPS with an update via a UHF Link
and if the link dropped out the track error or position would jump
 on average 20 meters. The altitude had greater error and it seems
the military value of Altitude information must be great.

With the DGPS on very accurate tracks at 180 KTS of plus or minus
5 meters and plus or minus 10 feet of altitude could be maintained.
 When the DPS dropped out to convential GPS we would just fly the
heading for a while, ignor the normal GPS and very slowly converge
to the convential GPS track over a 30 second period.
 The GPS differential does not jump wildly all over the place
but rather slowly migrates in lat , long and altitude.
Each appears to have its own "wandering factor" each moving
slowly.  Hope this helps the last post about this.

Is there anyway anyone can look up or check what the frequency is for the
Baton Rouge, Louisiana Narcotics Division (called "The 700 Club").  I
have heard that some of you dedicated scanner buffs have access to those
FCC microfiche and other resources for hard-to-find frequencies.  Police
Call had the regular Baton Rouge City Police frequencies (4 channels for
the 4 divisions) but did not show the B.R. City Police Narcotics Division
frequency.  I would appreciate it if someone could find out.

I heard that the Narcotics channel was particularly interesting to listen
to as you can heard major drug busts going on.  Good for some listening
excitement on a Saturday night.   Thanks.

Correct - at these speeds and frequecies, Doppler shift doesn't exist, for
practical purposes.  BTW - In applications where Doppler is an issue, it
will affect AM.

Why is it that aircraft frequencies always use AM modualion?
I thought FM had better signal-to-noise capabilities.


FM has what is called a capture effect....if two signals are there the
strongest wins This is good for FM armchair listening because it cuts
interference.  In the world of aeronautics that is not desirable when a
plane calling mayday is heading into the ocean and is trying to broadcast
as far as possible at about 10 feet from the water.So why is police action
in AM and all "emergency"broadcasters in AM???    [e-mail]

This goes to the effect that jamming an FM signal is quite easy.  Just
transmit a stronger signal on the desired carrier and the receiver will
lock onto your jamming signal..  That's it.

Aircraft comm. also has the advantage of not bouncing off tall bldgs.
etc., so the AM signal doesnt "die" or become corrupted.  FM was designed
to combat some of this, but in the air AM will carry quite far with good
results.

Doppler shift has no effect on signal readability for FM signals at
aircraft speeds.  While Doppler shift can be detected with enough
added circuitry, it doesn't cause audible effects on receivers.

Try driving towards your favorite FM broadcast band transmitter at
high speed while listening to its output and see if you notice any
effects whatsoever.  The only thing you'll hear differently is a lot
more wind noise and the occasional police siren.

Doppler shift!


Frequency modulation will compress and decompress relative to the
direction and speed of the aircraft making voice recognition
troublesome while amplitude modulation won't be affected by speed
although it's carrier freq will vary.

Doppler shift can become a big problem as you reach super sonic speeds.

Jim's invocation of Doppler shift as the reason aircraft use AM is
unique but not the actual reason.  Even if Doppler shift were a factor,
it would of course effect AM and FM modualted signals equally.

The real reasons aircraft use AM are that FM receivers have a
capture effect that allows a stronger signal to completely block
out a weaker signal underneath.  Not what you want in an emergency
situation.  Also, two AM signals on the same channel will produce
a heterodyne squeal that is much more distinct than when using FM.
Again, this announces the presence of a second, and possibly
emergency, transmission on the channel, although I admit that some
unicom channels sound like CB channels these days.  A possible third
might be the simplicity of detection circuitry for AM as compared
to FM.  This might have had a power and weight advantage when VHF
was first introduced to aircraft communications.

Yes it would affect both Am & FM equally but it doesnt really matter if the frequency shifts on AM reception
as the audio is carried on the amplitude.

Also doesnt AM carry much further than FM, the signal strength to distance ratio is a gental slope as where FM
the signal will drop off very quickly at a given point, Like NICAD batteries to give an example.

Things like Rayleigh fading and the like are an artifact of FM
transmissions.  Stated before, AM does not suffer from it, but in big
cities AM has problems propagated and attenuates due to the "bouncing
around" of the signal.  Obviously, in the air this attenuation is not a
factor anymore.

I don't know if it's been brought up, but one of the main reasons is the
"capture effect" of FM.  In other words, with AM, you can many time
hear two stations on the same frequency simultaneously while FM will
tend to "lock" onto the strongest signal.  I believe this is probably the
main reason why AM is used instead of FM.

 Hmmm..... pardon me, but isn't there a significant difference in the
 speeds between a car and an airplane?

AM lets two of us pilots talk at the same time. Maybe ATC cannot hear
both of us, but they'll know both of us are talking -- i.e., no one will
get stepped on -- just get their signal mixed. You can tell when someone
does this and ATC will say 'don't everyone talk at the same time' [well,
something more official, but you get the point].

This is a little disingenuous.  The Bosnian military is certainly
sophisticated to know about survival radios.  You write as if they're
a bunch of ignorant hicks who have no idea about how the world works.
I'll bet one of our Blackbirds that the ground troups knew a) that
O'Grady had a radio, b) what the frequency is, and c) when and how he
was likely to use it.

You can't give away common knowledge.  Maybe it was a revelation to
_you_ that pilots carry locator radios, but it's common knowledge to
the military community.  Trust me on this.

Locator radios feature prominently in a great many works of fiction
and films: the novel "Flight of the Intruder" has a very good sequence
depicting the rescue of a shot-down pilot. It's hardly a secret.

Now at least nobody posted the frequency... :-) But everyone with any
interest in the matter at all could have guessed O'Grady would have had
a survival radio. He knew they would know, which is why he stayed off the
air so much.

Ray:
The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office BBS, "SOLIS" has a complete list
of Santa Clara County Public Safety Frequencies.  The file is
"SCCFREQ.TXT".  You must register as a user on the BBS first and will
have full access to the File Area within 24 hrs (normal turn around
time).  The list was updated on 06-18-95 (because I did it!).  The BBS
can be reached at [phone] or [phone]. The same file will be
available as a Web page within the week on the S/O home page.  The URL
is:  http://www.amdahl.com/ext/scc-so/.  I expect to have the home page

  It is one of these 2 sequences...with the radio off, hold down the
MAN,2,9 key at the same time, then turn on the unit.  It should clear.  (If
a different set of frequencies is in there, then try the sequence as
SCAN,2,9 keys.)

I will soon be receiving this radio from a relative who had
discovered it in their attic still new in it's original box
where it had sat for several years. I'd like to know if it
is a worthwhile scanner and is there anything special I should
know to get it up and running. Is it cellular capable or are mods
possible? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil

I have just thrown out several years of electronics magasines
and now need some infor that I am sure scanner enthusiasts will
have , possibly in "Pop coms" etc.
 I am looking for the adverts about ESN numbers, Cloning,
software for EPROMS etc. There was also some books that had
a wealth of information about the significance of various
codes etc. also
Also I recall seeing at one stage an advert for software to
monitor data traffic on cell phone control freqs etc.
There was also another book specifically about Motorola EPROMS
and kits for programing them etc.

Regards

A scanner with SSB (my Yupiteru MVT7100 for example) will decode it.
Also, you can get the Ramsey SS-70 descrabmler.

Try a Ramsey Electronics SS-70.  One caveat--the kit injects a fair
amount of white noise into the recovered audio.

Bought this new quite a while back, did a perfect mod for "full range" scanning
up into the 800Mhz cell/trunk ranges easily...  amazingly cool....
I seldom use it so it's better it goes to someone who will get some use out of
it...

200 channel programmable, "nice scanner"....

...but my new PPC plans demand I sever ralationshipw with sledom played with
toys.

First $175.00 takes it home, Portland Oretgon buyer given preference....

$175 is quite a bit for this old, slow scanner.

IMHO,

 Af> I live in Dartmouth, Nava Scotia, about 1 1/2 km from the G-7 red

 Af> the  security of the G-7 who would share frequencies, etc.

Try the standard RCMP 420 Mhz frequencies. During the 1987 G-7 conference
in Toronto, that's where they were. During that event the system was not
operated in trunk mode, and there were very many frequencies in use
at one time.

If you'll pardon me a reminiscence, that particular event was
the *best* scanning experience I ever had.
At times there were up to 7 motorcades operating at the same time, as the
various leaders were moved between events. The traffic on one frequency,
which apparently was assigned to plainclothes 'watchers' in crowds, was
really fascinating. They sure have a lot of information in those files!

Radio discipline was incredibly tight. There was heavy use of codes, and
incredibly calm radio procedure. The only slip-up I heard was someone who
referred to their motorcade's principal passenger as 'she' - which led
to the inference that it was Margaret Thatcher's convoy - the comment was
immediately and sternly reprimanded over the air.

Good listening
Paul

Does anyone out there know of a source for add-on boards for scanners such
as the G-Wiz stuff for defeating the annoying 800Mhz Trunking Beeps, or
for CTCSS decode, or any more creative functions ???

When we first opened the repair service, we got flooded with orders.
Luckilly, the orders have smoothed out now and we're at about a 2 week
turnaround.

Thanks!

> ... they have a license for 806 mhz ...

    "806.0000" is a placeholder in FCC records for the mobile units of a
trunked system (rather than specifying each mobile frequency in the trunk
for every user). The actual trunk license would be listed in the 851-869
range. For SMR (shared commercial trunk) systems, the license would be
under the name of the operator of the trunk, not the various users. You'll
find the same pattern with "896.0000" for trunks in the 935-940 range.

    The FCC has stopped licensing end-users of SMRS trunks (except for
certain special conditions), so most of the 806.000 and 896.000 entries
will disappear as the licenses lapse.

    Whether or not there's an 806 record, to find the trunk frequencies
for an SMRS end-user, you'll have to find the business name of the system
operator. Since a number of these licenses were grabbed by speculators,
you may find Motorola operating a trunk composed of licenses to Joe Blow,
Mary Green, and Dave Smith.

got an adaptor (actually two adaptors, 300 ohm to 75 ohm, and
f-connector to BNC) from Rat-shack, the improvement in the  46-49 was
great and there is also a bit of directional-ability as well so you
can kind get an idea from whence the transmission originates by
rotating the rabbit ears.

  Does anyone know how to get the case open on a BC50XL?
I need to tighten the antenna connector inside.  Found 4 screws
inside the battery compatment.  Sides seem to be loose.  Just
seems that the back of the case is solidly attached in the center
where the belt clip would attach.
  Thanks.

GBI tends to use a lot of freqs in the VHF-hi area.  I'll try to dig up
some freqs and e-mail them to you if nobody posts them first.

Keep in mind that GBI is in the process of bringing online an 800 MHz
statewide system...it may be a Motherola ASTRO.

I still have several "RS-232 repeaters" that are easily modified to
work as an R7000 to serial interface.  Each one includes a power
supply, DTE and DCE connectors LED status lights.  The mod involves
adding 1 wire and the cable to plug into the R-7000.

For $25 I will send you the repeater, mod, and a simple C program to
load up the memories from a text file.  For $5 more I can xerox my
programming info.

I am a novice RF monitor.  I have a Pro 51 with a Radio Shack scanner roof
mount antenna mounted in the attic.  I would like to be able to resolve
46-49 MHz signals I can hear in this frequency range that are now
primarily static.  (They may be cordless phones and of course I would not
be able to listen to these.)

Would a better antenna help?  Would a better receiver help?

Can anyone give me advice on voice activated portable cassette recorders.
Regular size cassettes vs. micro cassettes?  Would the Radio Shack
USC-2001 be good or can I buy less quality.

Thank you.

I am an EMT in Northwest Indiana.  I am interested in using a scanning
radio in my vehicle to monitor a few frequencies in the area that I cover.

I have been told that the use of a scanning radio in a vehicle that is
capable of receiving police frequencies is prohibited in the state of
Indiana.  Can someone please confirm this?

I have also been told that it is possible to obtain some sort of an amateur
radio operator's license which would allow the use of a scanner in a
vehicle.  Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?  I have tried
contacting local authorities, but they of course deny any such license or
privilege.

I have been told to simply carry my portable radio from my ambulance service
which only has our main ambulance frequency on it.  The problem is, that
isn't the only frequency that we monitor while on duty.

I work for a large private ambulance service which serves 4-5 towns/cities
exclusively and backs up about 8 other cities.  There are police and fire
frequencies for each city/town that we cover as well as our own frequencies
and various frequencies for communicating with the local hospitals.

I would like to be able to listen in on all these different frequencies
while in my vehicle.  I am often in one of our covered towns/cities when a
serious call comes through.  I am able to respond from my vehicle if
additional assistance is asked for.  I do this now, but I would like to
make it legal so as to avoid any potential trouble in the future.

I have just started looking into the use of ham radio.  I really don't know
much of anything about it, but I have been told that it can also act as a
scanner.  Would someone please be kind enough to enlighten me on the rules,
available certifications, and any suggestions that you might have?

Thank you!  :^)

Hi!

I am an amateur Radio Operator in the state of Indiana & we are exempt
from the state law concerning mobile use of scanners.

If you want the exact wording of the law, refer to to the:

  Senate Enrolled Act No. 325
  Second Regular Session 108th General Assembly (1994)
  Section 1. IC 35-44-3-12 (effective July 1, 1994)

Since "Hams" help with the reporting of severe weather in the state, many
of us have scanners in the car.

Your best bet is to carry a copy of your state's law in the car with
you..JUST IN CASE!!

But to answer your question..You must have a valid Ham radio license to
use a scanner in a car in Indiana (and most states in the US)..

This is what I do when in Inidana too.  It's one of the
reasons I got my tech license (note item 6):
=====================================================================

The following is a section of Indiana Criminal Law and Procedure that
pertains to scanners:

35-44-3-12 Unlawful use of a police radio; exemptions; ôportable police

Wouldn't the person asking this question (who works on an ambulance) be

My apologies if this has been asked before. I noticed a couple of posts
regarding USGS freq's. Are these data frequencies? And if so, how do
you monitor data frequencies such as these and PD Mobile Data

Really?  I've seen quite a few.  They're quite popular in Canada and most
dealers stock them.

We were buying GP300's last year at Dayton for $150.  Other vendors were
selling them for anywhere from $150->$300.

The GP300 will cover the ham band if you get the right split.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Spot on.
i'am reliably informed that the programming software can be made
to go 'wide band', with this software a 146-174 version will cover most vhf
frequencys as the radios parameters such as pwr and osc freq are also
software programable.

All gp300's have esns, as phones do but as far as i am aware you cannot
erase them so if the radio is taken to a motorola dealer to be programmed
they'll proberly keep it!!

In reply to the original post the buttons on the radio are also software
prog, yours has been set to 'forced monitor' (pl defeat) you should notice
the radio will not transmit on first depression of ptt. The radio is prog
via a serial data onto the pad next to the battery connectors.
Programming gear consists of:

        (a) a ibm compatable pc
        (b) Motorola rib   (radio interface box)
        (c) gp300 programming adaptor
        (d) Software (serial numbered and only issued to dealers)

I think the rib box just converts 232 to TTL and the prog adaptor is just
straight through.

can't remember anymore of the original post but i hope this helps.

I DONT HAVE ANY SOFTWARE SO DON'T ASK.
Cheers all.

Yes, but only for large values of 2 metres.

Check your own facts. The original question was from a UK address, where
two metres tops out at 146MHz.

I am not sure how this started and I'm getting in late so I
hope that the person needing the info will read this.
You can program any amature frequency by holding the shift key down
while entering the frequency numbers. shift ALL the numbers
out to the last zero BUT not the decimal point.
after hitting the return the freq will be in the program and
you will be able to program the radio.

This statement is not true.  According to the GP300 service manual
(available from Pagecom for $10.00, part #6880901Z93), there is a model
of GP300 that covers 136 - 162 MHz.  (If you have the 146 - 174 MHZ model,

Gee, better not tell that to my friend with the GP300 with dtmf pad.
He might have to turn it off if it isn't supposed to do that.

that particular model was not sold too widely, mostly by special order and at a high cost.

I doubt it if any one at a ham flea market would sell one at <$300.- much less 100 as was
listed for th unit in ??

I am a Police Sergeant and have a lot of Motorolas, I have 2 GP-300, one
in VHF, one UHF. Both work on the ham bands and related public safety bands.
The only way, legally, I can carry one radio for both services. I also
have 2 System Sabers, VHF and UHF, same story. Don't make so difinitive a
statement without having a clue of what you are talking about. The R/S is
fine, I guess, if you never have to depend your life on it. Its not 1/4
the radio the Motorola is, even the GP-300. Which is not there hardiest
radio. But I carryed one on duty for 2 years, no problems. I broke a Icom
W2A 5 times in one year, on duty, before I wised up. Check out the used
Batwing dealers at all the major hamfest. We are there for a reason.

About Motorola GP300:
As usual Motorola, to follow its policy, did different versions of the
same RTX, really I don't know what is really different inside because
GP300 is a wide band RTX and the uP is able to tune in real time the
front-end. With a friend of mine we debugged the programming file of a
gp300 and inside there is an indication of the model to which that file
is related, probably inside the GP300 the uP check for it. In any case I
fill that the designer of this radio was not a HAM radio because, respect
older models (MCMicro) or newer model (MT2100 Mobius) the working band
seems to be cut to leave out the radioamauteurs..... in fact in Italy
the VHF Ham band is from 144 to 146 and the Italian GP300s start from 146
MHz. BUT .... Nothing is lost .... debugging the programming file of the
GP300, knowing the well known Motorola uP programming protocol called G30
and using a little bit the brain now we are able to "speak" with a gp300
without using the Motorola soft. .... in that case we jump the lower
limit of 146 MHz and we have our GP300 tuned on 145 tp 146.... that's all.

Well, I guess ignorance is bliss...
(I know, I'm ignorant)

It is commonly believed that NO commercial radio modified for Ham radio use
is "type accepted".  That is, modifying the radio, violated the acceptance.

I can't tell you how unhappy I am with my W2A.  I've broken 6 battery packs,
and ICOM is sick of me calling...  I liked the functionality but it's
survivability is poor.  After the classic 2AT only the 2GAT comes close.

Remember!  Type acceptance is mostly a scam at the federal level.

Tom

Depends on which model you buy. They have 16 modes/channels.  They are
available in VHF 136-178 MHz, 1 to 5 watts.  UHF 403-470 MHz or 450-520
MHz 1 to 4 watts.  And 3 watt 806 to 866 MHz.  I understand they are
Flashportable for trunking on 800.  I don't know if a 900 version is
avaible yet.

They have channel scanning ability. TX power set channel by channel.
Stat-alert that allows a dispatcher to do a radio check without
disturbing the user and selectivly inhibit radios.  Stat-alert also allow
for an "emergency" button on th radio and PTT unit ID.  They have smart
PTT. And of course they are very small and cool looking.  A UHF Visar
runs about $1150 list, inlcuding metal-hydride battery and double slot
charger.

= =   Well various models cover everything from VHF to 900 trunking, with
digital encryption. 16 channels, scanning, pl/dpl, encryption capable, phone
patch capable, etc.

      They are used in every occupation from construction to casino's ( Mirage

vhf hi-band, uhf, and 800-900MHz models are available. the vhf-uhf units
have up to 16 channels memory, dtmf pad or none, with the usual
assortment of motorola signalling options.  800-900MHz units work
either trunked or conventional.

Hello all,

I've got a dilemma that is driving me crazy.  I'm currently involved
with a local children's swimming team here in Alabama.  We are currently
in need of a "starting system". The standard systems around consist of
the following:

        1) Loudspeaker to address the swimmers on the starting blocks
        2) Strobe light to flash at the start signal and
        3) Tone generator to broadcast start signal through loudspeaker

That's it.. it all need to be battery powered of course due to proximity
to the pool.....

My dilema is this... the company supplying this equipment wants around
$800 for this little system.  I can't help but believe that with a little
help from a few electronics "experts" I could build a system for much
less than half that cost...

Radio Shack offers a 12-volt powered PA system and numerous selections
of microphones and speakers.  I think I could just rig up a 35MM camera
flash for the strobe.  The only thing I'm having trouble with is the
tone generator for the start signal..

Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated...

Am I crazy or is the $800 price tag way too much for what this system
really is??

Thanks again
Jeff

   Lots of major events rent radios from commercial providers.  There is
   no specific plan on how or what freqs the rental company can use. I'd
   suggest running three scanners in this fashion.

   1.) Search the 456-460 Mhz Band looking for (as I call them B.S.)
       odd-ball business channels ala: Mc'Ds etc.

   2.) Search 461.0000 Mhz thru 470.0000 Mhz in 12.5 Khz steps as
       sometimes they use splinter channels or even input freqs on
       simplex.

   3.) Third scanner is to listen to all the freq's you have found.

       Happy hunting.

Here's what I remember off the top of my head...

Tower .......................118.3
Clearance Delivery ..........118.85
NY Approach .................128.55
NY Departure ................119.2
ATIS ........................134.825

The tower must be a very low power transmitter.  I can't hear it from
my home (about 12 NM away).  In fact, I sometimes take my son to the
airport, and the audio is very low there as well.

Have fun.

I have one, and it works all right...however, for the money (about $30 at
Radio Shack) the magnetic mount that they sell seems to have better
reception than my glass mount.  If you live in a metro area, the glass mount
should work pretty well for you.  Happy listening!

I have an old PRO-2021 (no mods have been done to it)
It gets swamped by blasted page and in some cases ham noise; signals that
bleed in and distort the fire/ambulance bands (150-154MHz area) mainly.
The only way I can scan them is turn the squelch all the way up and
shortent the ant. down to 1.5 sections.

Is there and filter that could help out here?


thanks

Actually it plugs into your receiver / scanner.  I know what you mean
about the volume sensitivity.  A perfect solution which worked for me was
to use the tape out jack on my 2006.  That, and an outside antenna tuned
to the 900 Mhz band makes this system bulletproof.

good luck

Yes it could be new cordless phones, I have heard unscrambled cordless on
I think 909MHz or there abouts.  Real easy to tell whether or not it's
cordless or cell phone (at least to me) because cell phones all have that
whine or background noise.

AHA!  Finally, a scientific explanation.  I am certainly picking up
cellular phone conversations in the range from about 900MHz to 920MHz on
my Sportcat 150.  It is a newly designed receiver, but it doesn't surprise
me that Uniden didn't bother to make it less susceptible to images.  I am
certain that these calls are cellular phones.  I just figured it was older
cellphones in an unblocked range of frequencies.  The frequencies are
quite predictable and if I actually listened to the conversations, I might
be able to identify the same people over and over again.  :-)

What I really want is that downconverter which allows me to listen to the
200-400 MHz range....

The police did not tell you the truth. The truth is they are working on
the trunk and they need a constent signal so they can check the coverage
area. At least that is what I have been told by informed sources.

Just call the police department and tell them politely, "I believe that
'rebroadcasting' NOAA broadcasts on your trunked system is prohibited by
FCC rules."

If they don't believe you, refer them to part 90.415.

90.415 Prohibited Uses
Stations licensed under this part shall not:
(a) Transmit programming of any kind for use in connection with
broadcasting; or
(b) [stuff about prohibited common carrier services]

The NOAA weather BROADCASTS are programs intended for one way transmission
to the general public.  They are not permitted on a private land mobile
system.  Sometimes agencies forget that stuff or just don't think to check.

Whats funny is that Portland is having real difficulties with there
system. I've been monitoring the past couple days and have heard techs
T/S'ing and cops complaining. I have a few Portland Officers in my NG
unit and they're complaining that they sometimes have to wait up to 3
minutes to get in on the net. Short of hitting the panic button.

But hey, while they wait, they can listen and find out what the weather

    I just bought this scanner and the only intersting thing I can get out
of it is the 46 to 49MHz range. I care less fo police calls. Although,
That is the reason I bought it.  The phone call are more interesting.  I
have noticed that all frequencies are not on this scanner.  I was told
that it can be modified to pick up all frequencies.  I do not have any
cell phone frequencies.  How do I get this scanner to get all frequencies?

Recently I fired up the old Pro-43, and found that transmissions
on most frequencies, sound a bit garbled to the point that it's
difficult to hear the transmission.

- All the affected frequencies are in the 800Mhz range
- I can't hear ANY cellular conversations...but the scanner locks
  on frequencies in that range when I do a direct search
- I tried 2 different pairs of headphones, so it's not the speaker

My guess is that it need a bit of fine tuning.

Is there anyone out there with a service manual that can tell me
if there is a potentiometer that I can "tweak" to do a little fine
tuning?

Thanx in advance

Hi there:

    I recently try to modify my RadioShack pro2030 following the steps
I found on the net, but strangly the jumper describe in the Mod file
was not there.  Have radioshack change the design of the circuit?  Do
anyone have a way to work around it?  I'm new to this, any help will be
apreciated.

Thanks

Be VERY careful.  I didn't post a statement as bold as yours, but what I
did post on CIS (regarding installationg problems) has caused RCSI to
file a slander lawsuit against me.  This is what I heard through the

If you are talking about the discone, it should not be grounded.  If you are talking about one of the
other RS antennas, technically it should be grounded.  If you get lightning in your area you may
vaporize your radios.  Problem is, it you ground the antenna, you probably increase your chances of
getting struck by lightning!  You should mount a lightning rod higher than any of your antennas.  It is
just a gamble.  So, do you  feel lucky?

I noticed that on my SS-70 as well--it contributes a significant amount of
white noise to the recovered audio.

The only other solution I know is a circuit based on an article someone
wrote in an electronics magazine some time ago.  It uses a CODEC
chip to move the inverted audio into the digital domain.  There, the
polarity of every other sample was inverted by inverting the sign bit of
the sample's amplitude.  The altered data stream was then fed into the
decoder portion of the chip.  The recovered audio was nice and clean
(the CODEC is designed for digital telephone service).  The inversion
center frequency is one-fourth of the sampling rate.

I proto'ed this circuit and had excellent results with it.  However I've yet
to build myself a permanent version of it.

The PRO-60 is made for Radio Shack by GRE and replaces the
PRO-43.  It is essentially a PRO-43, with a bulge at the top
of the case, extended frequency coverage, and better audio.
It uses the same handy battery holder.  The Direct search
feature has been enhanced to let one step manually as well
as automatically.

The PRO-60 lists for about $350, so wait for a sale or buy
from a discounter with a fair return policy.  Radio Shack
stores are all over the place.  Ask to look at the owners manual
for detailed specs.

 I just heard on the news tonight that there will be some sort of
joint training excercises in August at Fort Polk, here in Louisiana.
All I caught (I was in the next room at the time) was the date and
that it would be U.S., Russian, British, and French troops, but
if they gave specifics, I missed them. I am going to call the
tv station I saw it on and ask them what they know, but I wanted
to post this now for two reasons: first, to ask if anyone out there
can tell me which units from which country will be participating,
and secondly, WHAT FREQUENCIES TO MONITOR. I'll try to post any
information as I get it, but I figured this type of thing is pretty
commonplace and some of you guys have monitored excercises often
enough to give me some pointers.
Thanks

Try searching the following, you'll have guaranteed hits:

30 - 30.56 Mhz
32 - 33
34 - 35
36 - 37
38 - 39
40 - 42

Most Amry/ANG field/training and convoy action here in Maryland has been
heard in this range. Low Band skip was HOT this week and I heard Louisianna
ANG on 38.4 Mhz during live fire range testing. Good luck, keep us posted.

I just received my Scan*Star software for use with an optoelectronics
equipped RS 2006.  Has anyone used this combination of software & hardware
before?

I'm having serious problems, and can't get any support from Signal
Intelligence, the makers of Scan*Star.  Their e-mail address returns the
messages, and their Mustang BBS is set up in a way that either makes it
impossible or at least very difficult to leave messages.

Here are my problems:

1)  the cloek on the Commercial version won't stay set properly.  It
looses 3 hours  when the screen is changed, or the program is re-started.

2)  can't figure a decent way to change the reception mode from the set
defaults.   The documentation tells how to change the default, but i just
want to occassionally change from the default.  It can be done by using
BOTH the CTL key and the ALT key; I discovered this after hours of
screwing around with the program - it's not documented.

3)  I must just be missing the point here... I've read all the
documentation, and it is just not clear how to scan anything other than a
single huge group of frequencies.  If I make a scan group (only way other
than a search range) of 10 banks of 40 freq's each, how can i set it to
scan just banks 2, 5, & 6?  Do I have to COPY these banks into another
scan group and name it?  (GEE, that's a LOT easier than pressing three
buttons on the face of the scanner!).  There just has to be something i'm
missing here, and hope someone can clear this up for me.  Any input would
be greatly appreciated, as I truly want this to work for me.

I'd appreciate e-mail response instead of just a post.

Thanks much.

 This is something I've been interested in doing too, but it looks to me
that this approach would keep you from hearing anything that wasn't broad-
casting the NWS emergency signal, which is EVERYBODY ELSE. You'd might as
well leave your scanner locked onto NWS. Besides, if you were going to
have something dangling from your scanner (which is really annoying if
you're wearing a hand-held) you'd might as well have a separate unit.
I wrote to Bill Cheek (Commtronics Engineering...scanner mod guru) several
months ago with this idea. He said that it would be handy, but he didn't
have time to use on the research to develope something that was already
available at a reasonable price. It would be nice not to have to tote
around another unit just for the weather alert, but the manufacturers make
more money that way!

I'm a big scanner nut and have several scanners, including a couple
of PRO-43 handhelds and a PRO-2006. These two cover the spectrum
pretty good, and with an FCC freq allocation chart close by, I can
usually find the freq(s) of the parties I'm searching for. Since
I might be visiting Florida this summer, the freqs the Sea Org
uses in Clearwater might be handy. <grin>

Possibly on the VHF and UHF itinerent frequencies.  154.6 (and two
others) in VHF and the 464mhz ones in the UHF region.

It you have a few hours to kill, and you know the Scienos are operating
in the area with radios, a cheap frequency counter might be of some
assistance... who knows, you might even find some of Ingram's bugs.

This is from a friend that works for San Jose PD.

Air One uses a scanner and uses all the channels.
The only time they will transmit s if they are on or attached to a call.  He
said they usually get the call about 30 to 40 seconds before the patrol
officer and will start transmitting/talking to the attached patrol unit after
that.  He said other wise they just listen in on the other channels and fly
around.  I hope that helps.  He said to just keep listening to your scanner if
you have one and you will hear them pop up every now and then unless its a
really busy shift for them.  They are usually up in the air for two hour
intervals and then they land for about 45 minutes to an hour.

While searching the aircraft frequencies I heard what
sounded like a conversation taking place in an office that
may have been on a phone line. It was definitely not a two
way radio transmission. This was at 131.350. Could this have
been a cordless phone as I can't imagine hearing any cellular
there. When I tune in this frequency now, all I hear is continuous
electronic static. Any ideas?

    In the US, the band 128.825 - 132.000 MHz is allocated to Aero Enroute.
Service is provided to the airlines by Aeronautical Radio, Inc, who connect
the planes and company dispatchers. At a guess, you heard an inter-office
communication that was accidently patched to an ARINC channel, or an open
mike in a dispatch office.

  I've also heard what sounds like cordless phone conversations
  on this frequency.  I picked up a conversation when I was riding

my bet: cellular images...not unusual in this secgemt. CHeck the
range 130-140 regyularly, and I'll bet you'll find cewllular images.

yeah, add 21.4MHz (a typical double conversion IF) to the frequency, and
what do you get?  152.750.  last i checked, that's one of the old imts
mobile phone frequencies, still in use by a few people in a few
places...

This message is to everybody in Sweden monitoring this
newsgroup. (And everybody else of course....)

I'm looking for the freqs that will be in use during the World
Championship in Athletics in G÷teborg August 4-13, the radios
will be some kind of generic Motorola, probably in the VHF
range to judge by the antenna.

All ideas and comments will be appreciated.

Sincerely yours

Yup!

Bear in mind that the frequencies of cable tv will show up in parts of
the spetrum used for other services.  ie: 2M ham etc.

You can use coax cable as an antenna. Simply strip the cable down and
remove the copper ground braid leaving the center conductor encased in
plastic. I have used coax as an antenna for my handheld with good results.
JOHN

to clarity CATV, connecting a cable television coax to a scanner will not
work all that well, you will get some signals but in strange places. I
had a scanner located near a television that was connected to the CATV, I
got some signals in strange places (UHF-aircraft, where there normally
isn't much activity...  JOHN

Can anyone please help me locate the UHF frequencies used by the US Coast
Guard (particularly on the St. Lawrence River, Alexandria Bay, N.Y.)?  I
know that they do use non-marine band frequencies as I have personally
seen one of their vehicles with a UHF 1/4 wave antenna on it and a UHF
yagi at their headquarters.  I believe that they refer to this frequency
as "Land 31 Secure" which probably means that it is scrambled but I would
still like the frequency anyway.  I have searched the Federal gov't band
of UHF freqs and have found nothing.  I would also like the UHF
frequencies used by the St. Lawrence Seaway Development Corp at their
Eisenhower and Snell locks in Massena, N.Y. .  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Please e-mail me direct to:   [e-mail]

That is a real nice list!! Thanks for posting it publically as I will
find that useful when I go to Houston. In fact, I have left my scanner
at home because it is frustrating to find frequencies in a new town.

I don't suppose you have such a comprehensive list for the Beaumont area?

I've done it and there are no drawbacks from it. But it is equally silly that
the unit would have one diode to block the cellular. Also, if you want to do
other mods to the unit, you should pick up the service manual.

Don't take my word for it but....

I heard that based on the parts which were originally available for
the (original) 2006, they had to purposely slow the scanner down.
Down the road, the faster components came up, so the just left the
scan rate alone.

If this is true, then the first couple series of 2006s would have
problems when the diode is clipped.

Also keep in mind that since this changes the clock rate (speeds it
up), the delay time is reduced.

Which scanner would someone recommend for monitoring cell phone
freqs?
Also what data rate and type do cellphones use to talk to each other
etc? Can I use a PK232 to monitor the digital traffic?
What baud rate do they use, ?
Does anyone listen to the digital traffic?
Which channels are the control ones to listen to the
data goingon?

I was curious as to whether anyone has successfully intercepted and
demodulated 900Mhz digital cordless phone transmissions, now that they've
been on the market for some time now; I'm not talking about intercepting
spurious signals being emitted from the phones.

I have a Uniden 900 MHz digital spread spectrum phone, and have tested
to see what I could pull in on my receiver of this phone.

While the phone's in use, the only noticeable difference on 900 MHz is that
as I tuned across the frequencies in use, the white noise level rose slightly.
And as I tuned across, the S-meter slowly rose, peaked, then fell again.
This was only detectable with the squelch wide open; my PRO43's squelch
saw the white noise and just stayed shut.

This is still new enough to be interesting, but many of the ads I've seen
for the 900 MHz phones indicate that they are scrambled.  Has anyone
really heard a 900 MHz scrambled phone (and how would you know?) or is
this more of the usual hype from the marketing people in the communication
industry?

   Perhaps at a normal speed of aircraft, but when it goes supersonic the
doppler shift comes into play!

I'm located near SFO and like Erfunc also using an Airmaster.   I
am receiving a high percent of air to ground and about 50 to 60 per cent
of ground to air(craft) transmissions.  I would like to exchange my SFO
downloads of other areas particularly LHR,ORD,IAD or for than matter any

        I am looking for anyone who has been working with the PRO-2035 and the
Optoelectronics 535 board.  There are several questions that I have
regarding the modification or adding the Opto 535.

(1) Did you have to make any cosmetic changes to the Pro-2035 when
         adding the Opto-535?

(2) How would you rate the quality of the Opto-535?

(3) The average time it took to install the Opto-535 inside the
         Pro-2035?

(4) What is your feedback during and after the entire install?

        I'm sure that are plenty of proud PRO-2035 owners ( like me ) who
would like to  know the answers to these questions.  Anyone thinking
about getting a PRO-2035, all I can say is that it holds up very well
compared to "high end" amateur and commercial receivers ( the 10db
attentuator must be on to kill any inter-mod ).  My Yupiteru MVT-7100
is neck and neck with the PRO-2035 in the sensitivity department ( the
Yupi-7100 is still the "Mike Tyson" of all scanners in the 1.2ghz and
above!).

Many people have asked about this...

Apparently EDCO does not yet provide the DS8000; I'm not sure if
they plan to provide a limited version of the DS8000 (something
like their limited version of the computer interface).

A few days ago, through a lead from our European office in the
Baltic States, we received our first case shipment of AOR DS8000
descrambler units. These are the full-featured official DS8000
units made by AOR for the AR8000 receiver. The DS8000 descrambles
tone/speech inversion scrambling.

The DS8000 simply plugs into the option board connector intended
for this purpose inside the AR8000 and its operation is fully
integrated into the AR8000. Besides accessing the option board via
the SC and SI computer interface commands, it is also accessed via
the LOCAL key on the AR8000 keypad and the DIAL knob on top of the
receiver.

All the best!
- Erik

They returned mine without fixing it; NO TROUBLE FOUND.  It worked for a
month and then died.

I took it apart and repaired it myself.  Four of the seven leads from the
flat cable to the circuit board were broken.  Works fine again.

I received my leather case for my AOR AR8000 about a month ago from
Javiation.  The leather case is MUCH like the one for the Yupi 7100.
I prefer it over the vinyl.  I believe Jonathan is working on one
with a plastic window.

I took pictures of both leather and vinyl cases for the Yupi 7100
and AOR AR8000.  These are viewable via Javiations WWW page....
http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/

For those in the US, I believe you can purchase all these cases
from Design EQ in CA.  There is more info on the above WWW page.

Just thought some of you would like to see the case...

I'm comparing the MVT7100 and the AR8000, to buy one.  The 8000 seems to
be computer configurable for all sorts of things, including adjustment of
arbitrary frequency coverage limits, and other modes, and stuff.

I'm also looking for USB and LSB demodulation, rather than
dual-sideband.  Do either of these do it?  What's the difference between
BFO and any other scheme to recover sideband?

I hope to use it for audio stuff (ham bands), but also fax and digital
mode reception.

I am seeking someone in the DC Metro area who has an AR8000 with one of
the "improved" US bandplans for "auto" mode, and the equipment and
expertise to clone this info to my unit.  While I am at it, I would also
like to adjust the unit's operations to overcome some of the arbitrary
"limitations" of the U.S. version, if you know what I mean.  I would not
be offended to pay a reasonable fee for these services.   Thanks!  Reply

    Programming the Bearcat 101 scanner
    -----------------------------------

    The BC101 is programmed using the 16 front-panel switches.  The manual
    contains a lookup table for the switch settings for all the frequencies
    that it is supposed to receive.  Then, for some reason, it offers a
    list of instructions for determining the switch settings for any
    frequencies not listed.  Go figure.  I've condensed the instructions
    into a few lines for my own reference, which I'll show as is (in case
    anyone wants to keep it as a reminder), and I'll also expand it back
    out into a usable form so it'll make sense the first time you see it.


    The shorthand instructions:
    ---------------------------
    [30-50/146-174/416-512]

    [10340/36940/40964] - round ([200/200/80] * freq) --> 13-bit binary
    (sw1=4096, sw13=1)   then turn on [14+15/15/14]    sw16=delay


    What it means:
    --------------
    Determine the band (there's only 3) that your desired frequency is in,
    and note its position in the first bracketed list.  You'll use this
    position to choose the correct value from the other bracketed lists in
    the formula.  Multiply the desired frequency by [200/200/80] and round
    the result to a whole number.  Subtract this number from
    [10340/36940/40964] and convert the result to a 13-bit binary number.
    You now have the settings for switches 1 to 13, where bit(0) is
    off/down and bit(1) is on/up.  Switches 14 and 15 are the band
    indicators, so they should be set as listed for the band.  Switch 16 to
    adds a delay before resuming scanning after a transmission.  Don't
    actually set any of the switches yet, just note the settings.

    I've forgotten the labels on the 2 slide switches at the lower right,
    but one is a 2-position switch (that is, it'll stay in either
    position), and the other is a momentary switch (push it down it springs
    back up).  While the scanner is running (not being programmed), the
    2-way switch is down, I think, in the position labeled NORMAL or RUN or
    READY or something like that.  To program a channel, set the 2-way
    switch in the other position (up?), maybe labeled PROG.  This will let
    you use the SCAN/MANUAL/STEP paddle switch to get to any channel, even
    those whose individual switch is off.  Step to the channel you want to
    program.  Set all 16 switches as determined above, and then press the
    momentary switch down (ENTER?) momentarily and release it.  The LED
    goes off then on again, and the channel is programmed.  Step to another
    channel and repeat if desired.  When you're done programming, return
    the 2-way switch to the NORM position, and scan away.


    A few lookups to verify you're doing the manual method correctly:
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    162.400 - 1 5 7 8   10 11       15
    162.475 - 1 5 7   9 10 11    13 15
    162.550 - 1 5 7     10 11 12    15

I have recently acquired a used Uniden Beracat 200XLT in
fairly new condition. Hoever, I would like some help
regarding the floowing items:

1.- The lower frequency renge is 66-88 MHz. It is not
fault on the unit because the manual also says this.
I thought it could go down to 49 MHz.
Anybody have any idea on this? I live in Europe, so
maybe it affects all european UBC scanners.
Any suggestions on how to get down?

2.- Does anybody have a list of key combinations when
the unit is turned on to perform additional functions?
I have seen these lists for other Bearcat Units.

I would really appreciate this information because scanning is
not as popular here as in the US, so there is much more less
information

Thanks,.

The frqs that will of the most use are vhf/uhf:

Ottawa arrival: 135.150/247.000  20 minutes out
Ottawa tower:   118.000/236.600  in the Control zone
Ottawa ground:  121.900/275.800
also try:       123.1000
CFB Base ops:   131.350/308.700  Base was closed recently but frqs may still
                                 used for show?

As for comms there is very little chatter during the show all you'll
hear would be Snowbirds...smoke now, Snowbirds...break now.. Plug in
the frqs that someone else posted during Friday practice..

Don't know if they use it on the Great Lakes but USCG's On Scene Air

Canadian Forces SAR freq Canada wide on HF is 5718 KHz.

Don't buy the book thinking that after having this information you will be
able to decode any DES encrypted radio traffic.  The "Federal information
processing standard" FIPS-1040 specifies DES.  I found a copy of this at
my college library.  Nothing is secret about the algorithm.  They could
have a decoder in software on the disk (as long as they don't export it).
Without knowlege of the key (or an enormous amout of computer horsepower
for an exhaustive search) you will be wasting your time.

You can recover some intelligible audio by listening to NFM audio in SSB
mode.  I think you actually have to tune a little below the frequency and
then fine tune.  Maybe someone can jump in and give the technical
specifics to this method.

I just picked up a PRO-62 in a steal of a trade (I hope).
I would apprec. some decent opinions on this scanner.
Does it have plenty of goodies to go with it?
How "customizable" is it?
Did I get stuck with a lemon of a scanner?


thanx,

A big THANK YOU to all of you who sent info on the PRO-2006 unit and
mods.  I drove up to Radio Shack in Vancouver, Cananda on Saturday to pick
up the scanner (pd. about US$285 not including taxes) and performed the
cell restoration and scan speed mods before I even plugged it in (took
about two minutes) ;-)

This is my first scanner and I haven't been able to leave the house since I
got the unit home.  It's now connected to a $17.99 Radio Shack antenna
(20", VHF-Hi/UHF) on my apt. porch by a 20' piece of RG-58 coax.  I
bought a copy of 'Police Call' and have been pretty much sitting in the
same spot in front of my radio ever since.

My only problem (in addition to figuring out the optimum way to organize the
memory banks--it's unbelievable how much time one can take planning out
freqs in the different banks) is interference from cable TV stations.
For example, limit searching between about 800 MHz and 1,300 continually
finds the same religious TV channel signal spaced in precise 4 MHz
increments.  Is there a way to fix this?

Also, any tips on scanning in the 225-400 MHz military air band?  I've
tried a limit scan of this band in AM mode with differing steps and haven't
found a thing.  For that matter, most federal freqs I try come up empty.

Any suggestions or comments on my setup are, as always, greatly appreciated.

Thanks from a new scanner hobbyist!

please answer the following for me?

1.  Are their prices competitive?
2.  Is the shipping duty ever charged and is it alot?
3.  How are they when it comes to service?
4.  Are there any problems dealing with an overseas vendor?
5.  Do they ship the unblocked versions of radios?

Thanks

        I will be more than happy to share my experience ordering from
Javiation.  It is without question one of the "best" overseas vendor I
have personally worked with.  The owner is very active in the hobby
and really knowledgeable about his products, unlike some U.S. dealers.
Roughly about one year, give or take a couple of months,  I ordered
the Yupiteru-7100 from Javiation.  The owner at Javiation gave me the
package tracking number to follow the journey into my hot hands.   I
received my Yupi-7100 by FEDEX in two days!  Upon arrival I noticed
that the unit was double boxed ( the original was included), the
Yupi-7100 was brand new! ( not a demo or refurbished unit that some
dealers try to sneek in! ) and all the accessories.  To top it off, I
got the best price that anyone could offer, the U.S. dollar was
stronger a year ago vs the British pound.  I hope that is insight will
help you decide on a good dealer.  Good luck with the AOR
8K.......looks good with the Opto- Scout Ver3.1.

73!

For what its worth, my experience with a purchase from Javiation was
entirely satisfactory, as well. Jonathan was patient and helpful on the
phone both before and after the sale.

If the user (perhaps a hospital) is using an SMR service, the FCC does not
license the user for all of the SMR's channels.  They just get one,
generic license to be on 800 via the licensed SMR.  The SMR operator is
the one that will have the license for the specific channels.  The FCC
does this in an effort to streamline the licensing process.  No need to
license an SMR subscriber for specifc channels.

If your are seeing lots of companies licensed on 806 and 821 they are
probably subscribing to a trunked SMR (or equivalant) service.  They don't
actually operate the system themselves.

Find out who operates their radio system - that operator is likely the
trunked system licensee and is licensed for specific trunked channels.

There is only a "GENERIC" license for these USERS as they may transmit from
about 806-821MHZ depending on where the SERVICE PROVIDER is licensed.

To cross reference this GENERIC LICENSE to the actual system your data must
contain the "SMRS" field. Looking up the callsign  listed here will give the
system frequencies. Some online providers also can provide lists of all users
for various SMR systems.

If listening to 400ish frequencies, it is sometimes better to make
a half-wave, by extending the top FOUR sections.

What is this?  Does it sit indoors or go up high?

I recently purchased this particular antenna for use with a Pro 39. I too,
have found that it really helps on the low frequencies, but have not been able
to determine  if it helps on the higher, like the 460 or 800 frequencies. It
seems at these higher bands, the rubber ducky works just as well. I was
thinking about returning it since at home I have an outside antenna that
far outdoes the telescoping one at the low end. But even wiht the outside roof
antenna, I haven't really noticed much more on the high bands. Has anybody
else noticed an improvement in e high bands with the telescoping one?

Thanks,
Drew

Stick with the outdoor antenna. You might not notice a
difference because of the feedline. Go to a low loss
coax cable.

Yes, It seems to me (on a Pro-34 & Pro-43) that it picks up NOAA WX radio
16x.xxxMHz, 2m ham, 144-148MHz, police & business, 15x.xxxMHz better than
the ducky.  Also the duckie for the Pro-34 (made by GRE I think) is
better than the one for the Pro-43.  Listen to a station in this range
with the antenna fully extended, then lower the section that is immediately
above the coil down into the coil and you should hear a noticeable
improvement.  With the antenna adjusted as directed it does better than
the duckie from 30-170MHz. I haven't noticed any improvement above about
170MHz.

Happy scanning!

for that period, so if you have freqs. for the Center, I'd be interested in those also.  (I'll be on 467.55 with 5 humongous watts).

Hi Darian,
  I went a step further.  I made a printout of the law (copied from this
board when someone posted it a year or so ago), ran it through the Xerox
machine to reduce it in size so I could fold it and keep it in my wallet
with my ham license, and I even used a yellow Hi-Liter to highlight the
appropriate parts of the law (the ham exemption).  Makes me feel quite
safe when I'm traveling in Indiana.    ---Dan

YES: IT IS UNLAWFUL to operate a scanner in any mobile setting in Indiana
unless you obtain a license from the local POLICE or you hold a HAM
LICENSE. TO OBTAIN A LICENSE FROM YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT, arrange to
meet with whoever is in charge of those procedures. Generally, obtaining a
permit to operate a scanner is not difficult, and usually you can get by
with it unless you have SEVERAL felonies in your record. The criminal
history check is the only thing that could really get you. IF YOU ALREADY
HOLD AN AMATEUR RADIO LICENSE, you DO NOT need to obtain a local permit
from the police department. HOWEVER, you should carry a copy of your
license with you AT ALL TIMES (which you should be doing anyway), plus a
copy of local laws regarding operation of a scanning radio with an amateur
radio license.
OTHER EXEMPTIONS FROM ANTI-SCANNER LAWS INCLUDE:
  >> REACT members licensed in the GMRS service, who are also equipped
with GMRS transceivers to contact proper authorities in an emergency
  >> Crime Watch Groups authorized by local government officials, but not
necessarily the police department.
  >> Red Cross members on duty or standby to provide assistance
I am a REACT member here in Virginia, and I keep a copy of my GMRS license
with me at all times, even though the anti-scanner laws DO NOT APPLY IN
VIRGINIA (except DC, and SOME localities). Now radar detectors, that's a
different story...
Just thought I'd drop in and give my two cents. Best of luck with whatever
solution you choose.

Exactly.  What I was asking about was time spent off-duty in my personal
vehicle (POV).  Item (3) refers to "...vehicles used in emergency
service..." which would not apply to my personal vehicle while off-duty.

And, you are also right, that you wouldn't think a cop would hassle someone
that also works in the public safety sector...but you'd be surprised.
Besides, it's always nicer when you can cite and display a state code to

one up!  :^)

Howdy all


     Anyone know of any FTP sites that have radio programing software for
the Moto radios like the Sabers, Visars or others? I just found a Saber in
poor condition at a swipe meet and need to switch it to the ham band.

Anyone wanting to trade WaReZ for the site need not reply.

                             Thanks alot.

You can program any amature frequency by holding the shift key down while

True, but this trick will not work with all versions of the software.
There also seems to be a conflict with different computers BIOs and
config.sys files. The same software will not work on all computers.

Also remember, CPU speed and TSRs cause a ALOT of problems with Motorola
software. You will just have to play with the configuration of your
machine, and even try different machines till you get it right. I have
heard of a program called Toolkit, that will do what you need. This would
be the A approach to solving your problem. I KNOW this information is correct.

The software used to program the radios is actually property of Motorola,

software is available, although I would love to see it. Motorola is VERY
protective of their software, and has prosicuted unauthorized use. You
would also need a "RIB" RS232/TTL interface box, although clones do exsist
for that.

somebody on the net suggested decoding the data file, as if you did
have the programming software.  once you find out what the fields
contain in the archive file, frequency, pl, and others, a new data
file could be configured with an ascii text editor, and downloaded
to the radio, after the necessary cables are fabricated.  there may
be other handshaking signals necessary to get this to happen.  as
long as nothing is "stolen" from motorola, how could they complain.

ideas out there?

I think we met about ten years ago in Mass somewhere.  Charlie Sefranek
is my uncle and I was living with him and his wife Celest after my father
Louis E. Sefranek died.  Both are sons of Louis A. Sefranek of the
Bethlehem PA Sefranek's.  How do you or do you fit in this picture
somewhere?

You could easily use a DTMF encoder off the shelf.  Plug it into the P.A.
and when you press a key you should be able to produce an ear thrashing
tone.  Keep in mind that the tone will need to be loud enough to be heard
over the chatter from the gallery for false starts (what ever happened to
the starting gun?).  Radio Shack sells DTMF encoders, other wise known
as stand alone auto dialers or pocket dialers.  If that sounds too cheesy I
could whip you up a schematic for a tone generator, $10 in parts, you'll have
to build it yourself.

Thanks.. I'm working fast and furious to get this thing put together..
I'm thinking of tearing apart the Radio Shack musical bullhorn we've been

Ken, you may want give Grove a call and see what they are shipping. I
called EEB ealier this week and they said they were going to recieve
the newer Scout's by the middle of the week and would be shipping out
there orders the same day.

As far as making other versions obsolete I doubt that. I think the
major difference is the rs-232 or whatever communication protocol they
use to interface other hardware such as computers and scanners.

Lentini had them in stock when I called. I "had" (<vbg>) to have it and
paid for the overnight shipping. They had the lowest price ($399) on them
and had them in stock. Grove, EEB, and Opto were all priced higher and/or
didn't have the v3.1's in stock.

The current version is 3.1 and they are shipping EVERYWHERE.  They
was a slight delay as Opto had an overwhelming response from
Dayton.

I'll make a seperate post tomorrow, but FYI...

Percon (leader in CD Freq databases) is now selling Opto products.
In addition to some great pricing, they are bundling certain CDs
with certain Opto products.  Call them for more info @ 716-386-6015.

OK. UPS delivered my unit today and it has the ver 3.0 software. Anybody
know specifically why the 3.1 was released so quickly after the 3.0 came out.
Any bugs reported in 3.0?

To follow up my own post...

I called OPTO and was informed the the difference between ver 3.0 & 3.1
was that 3.1 supports reaction tuning for the AOR-8000. 3.0 does not.

Hello Fellow Scout Users!

I was wondering if anyone would like to trade there findings as to the
reception capabilities of there Scout  Info interested in:

        a.  Transmitter Frequency and Decription (if known)
        b.  Approx. Distance (if known)
        c.  Type of Antenna Used

example:

        a.  49.9 MHz - baby monitor
        b.  1 to 2 ft range.
        c.  Opto's DB32 mini antenna.

I'm planning on trying an assortment of antennas to see which is the
optimum performer per desired frequency range. Any thoughts?

ps. an article was wriiten about this very subject a few months ago
      in some magazine, unfortunately I can't recall which magazine.

Thought I would pass some recent information for you scanner/Percon
users...

You can now purchase your Opto product and Percon database CD
from one source...  What's really nice is that you can save some
money as Percon is bundling some of their CDs with certain Opto
products.

Here is what I gathered.....

Opto Product        w/Percon CD       Price
------------------- ----------------- -------
Scout (v3.1)        Spectrum          $395
OS456               Spectrum          $270
OS535               Spectrum          $270
CX12AR I/F          Spectrum Lite     $95
Clipmate                              $25
DB32 Mini-Antenna                     $27.50

$10 UPS Blue (2-day) S/H, slightly more for multiple products.

For more information, contact Percon @ 716-386-6015

Oh, almost forgot... No, I don't not work for Percon, nor
do I can't any $$$ for passing this type of information onto
others.  Just trying to help people out.

Over here in Malaysia, we have an AMPS cellular system that starts at
around 927MHz.

How can you tell the difference between an image and the real thing.  Does
it matter anyway?

How can a cordless be scrambled? Is this what all of those strange data
sounding tones are in the 900s are?

Here in Las Vegas, I hear cell conversations up to 912 (the top range
of my scanner). These are not images or cordless phones. I read that
the phone companies are having to expand the cell range due to an
increase in demand (due to lower costs and heavy marketing).

Those wacky tones you're hearing are probably control codes for cell phones.

Hmm.. well, I've been trying to see how broad the range is in this area,
but I've picked up confirmed cell activity as low as 894.xxxx (can't
remember).. havn't figured out an upper limit yet, only been doing it for
a few days.  But there's no doubt in my mind that they are cell phones.

As for the person earlier asking about cordless scrambling...   the
headset encodes the signal, beams it to the base which decodes it and
sends it over the phone lines.  Fairly simple actually.

I don't know either, but my friend and I were laughing about that the
other day... he asked the same question, but our general (mildly
intoxicated) opinion was.... who cares?  as long as you can hear the
conversation, eh?

I'm assuming that a natural frequency and not one of the echo'd or image
frequencies would probably give you a clearer signal, but I don't know.
Not one single clue actually. Just guessing.

Lots of responses and questions to my original post, thought I would
post an email that was sent to me but wasn't posted in the group
because the author did not know if there would be much interest:

What you are experiencing is actually the 'image' of the cellular
transmissions in your receiver front end. It's not from the cell site
unless they are having some major technical problems.

When you receive at 902 Mhz the local oscillator (LO) in the scanner is
set to
a frequency one IF frequency lower than 902 Mhz. In your case the LO is

probably set to 891.15 (this is 902 - (21.7 / 2)). Your first
intermediate
frequency (IF) is tuned to 10.85 Mhz so when you mix 891.15 with the
spectrum
of incoming signals you get two images. The first is the sum of  LO +
IF
(891.15 + 10.85) or 902 Mhz your desired frequency. The difference LO -
IF
(891.15 - 10.85) or 880.30 Mhz! Voila`, cellular reception. You can see
that
the 21.7 difference is dependent on the first IF of the particular
scanner.

This is a neat trick for receiving things that the microprocessor has
deemed
unreceivable, but is considered a negative factor for receiver
performance. If
the image you are receiving is trashing a real signal that you want to
listen
to ... well you get the idea. More expensive receivers like the Icom
R-7000
will up convert to an IF frequency that is way above the band that your
are
listening to to avoid just such a problem.

Using my Motorola DPC and my Pro-43, I did a bit of testing as well.
Frequencies such as 903.375 MHz would pick up the call, but then drop
the call after 30 seconds or so...this with my holding the phone adjacent
to the scanner.

If anyone has any ideas for structuring further experimental work of this
nature, I would appreciate hearing them. Frankly, I was not impressed by
the results I was getting, but I don't know enough about said results to
comment in detail...yet.

even scanned my own calls as a test. With a Bearcat 760 xlt, I have
difficulty believing that these signals are images, as the quality is
very good. If any one has a reference as to how to convert these

I own a RS pro 2006 scanner. I use one of it's 10 limit banks to pick a
veriety of things from HAM to CELL phones. I have recently tried to
moniter the *new* 900 MHz phones. I have not heard one single
conversation. I asked my friend to bring over his new RS scanner (80
channel) and he was able to pick up many, many conversations. We set
them side-by-side and even used the same antenna....still mine does not
pick anything up.

Can anyone please help me???

Please E-mail responce:

The ATT switch on the back is at the 0 db position, not th 10 db

I think the 900 band is digital, so you will not be able to hear
anything.

It sounds like your friend is picking up cellular "images".  That is,
what he is hearing is really being broadcast in the cellular phone band,
but since your scanner is higher quality and uses triple conversion, it
is less susceptible to receiving images...

How do you know what your friend is picking up aren't cellular images?

Since you said your friend has a new 80 channel RS scanner, it's a good
bet his scanner does not use triple conversion.  Only top-end RS scanners
use triple conversion and they all have much more than 80 channels.

One thing to remember about your friends scanner is that it is probably
double conversion and you may be hearing cell phone images in that 900
range on his scanner.

Where can this mod be found?  I looked at oak.oakland.edu and didn't see
it there.  Is this mod beyond the abilities of a beginner?--I've done the
cell mod on the 2006, but that's such an easy one I don't think it counts
much in the way of electronic experience.

Also, is there a FAQ anywhere that explains opto boards for the 2006?
I'm trying to figure out what they are and how they work.  Any info
appreciated!

I used a 16 position rotary BCD switch, cat # RDIP-4, $1, (minimum order
$10) from ALL ELECTRONICS 800-826-5432. I moved the 9V battery inside and
mounted the switch where the battery was. I accessed the switch control
shaft by drilling a hole in the battery cover.

  The Pro-51 style keypad mods do not work on the Pro-26. You can still
  load the test frequencies but none of them are in the cell range.

Trimmer capacitor TC102, located on the RF printed circuit board,
adjusts the frequency of the reference oscillator crystal to
12.799937 MHz plus or minus 2 Hz.

I recommend you spend the $8 or $10 and get a service manual.
It contains the complete alignment instructions, parts list,
schematic, PCB layout, etc.

I think I saw that mod in alt.folklore.scanner.

Just kidding. If it is possible to increase the number of channels, I too
would be interested. But 10,000 sounds like something unrealistic.

If there really are, could you give me the exact address?  Ive done long searches, only
find that they (the mods for the pro-46) are only for the cell restore.

Also, on the cell restore, i see sometimes that it mentions the freq rang of
the pro-46 to go to like 1100mhz?  Mine only hits up to 959.0000 or so..
Can someone explain this to me?

As the guy says the SS-7 doesnt do much to descramble.  The SS-70 does but
has a very high background hiss and very unatural descammbled sound.  With
some effort youll be able to understand the conversation.  If any of your
other audio equipment sounded that bad you would be unhappy.  On the other
hand I dont know of any other easily available options.  Guess it depends on
how much you gotta hear what thier saying.

I find the background hiss to be relative.  If you turn the volume up
on the SS-70 unit itself, then the hiss increases as well as the audio.
If, however, you increase the audio level into the SS-70 (turn up the
volume on your radio) and correspondingly decrease the gain on the SS-70
itself, the signal to noise ratio appears to improve.

There is still hiss, and it isn't perect.  Like the previous poster said,
it depends on what it's worth to you.

By the way, I found that for my particular application (maybe others?)
that changing the frequency of the crystal significantly improved
the quality of audio, making it more natural.  The supplied euro tv colorburst
xtal at 4.4 MHz still left a lot to be desired.  Trying a 4.9152 xtal changed
it, but the problem was about the same "in the other direction" (with one
they sounded like on helium, the other sounded like playback in slow-mo).
The best compromise I found was a 4.75 MHz xtal that Radio Shack was able to
order for too much money (about $5).  The usual suppliers (Digi-Key, et al)
don't stock anything between 4.4 and 4.9 MHz in the right can - at least they
didn't when I was looking.

The only other offering I have is that the "assembled" units - those built
by Ramsey - quickly went from $59 to $69 to $79 in a matter of months.  I
take this to mean they sold like hotcakes, so the profit margin was fattened.
Just my opinion.  Maybe that means other folks liked them, too?  Anyway, you
should have much better performance than the ss-7 and its very irritating
whine.

Enjoy!

Fred

How do you guys remove the metal shield on the PRO-43 to do the cell and

I used the normal soldering iron and a bulb pump. It was dicey!! It worked
fine, but it was nervious time. I too, would like to know how others have
done this.

I just use the copper braided solder wick. yo can get it at radio shack.
Just place it between the iron and the solder you want to remove.
It wicks it right up.

The easiest way; do it upside-down.  No chance of making a mess.
This way, you dont have to worry bout dropping lead (which I am good enough
that I usually dont anyhow) which is possible.  And, you also spend less
time with heat near the IC's because the shield tends to fall the instant
the solder is melted.

I just heated it enough, lifted up the corner gently with needle nose pliers,
and held it up until the solder cooled.

When I got mine it already had the cell mod done to it!!! :-)
So I didn't have to remove the shield.  I did the audio mod and
didn't have to remove the shield that is above the processor
because the audio mod involved the board above the logic
board (the logic board is the one with the processor & diodes for cell
restoration).  If you need any more help let me know.  I thought the
audio mod was worth the time but I also replaced the speaker at the same
time so maybe that made the difference.

I did it with a regular 30-watt iron and some braid.  It was pretty
simple.  Doing the cell mod with the aforementioned iron, though, was
pretty hairy.

Get a roll of desoldering braid. Park the edge near each solder tab and
heat it up. Keep cutting back the braid as it gets saturated, and repeat.
Soon enough you'll remove enough solder that the tab lifts off.

             REPAIR TIPS: BEARCAT SCANNER RADIOS

       Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole  or  in
 part   on   CDROMS,   in   bulletin  boards,  networks,  or
 publications which charge for service without permission of
 the author.  Free distribution is encouraged.]


                        Introduction

 The original  Bearcat  scanner  line  was  manufactured  by
 Electra  of  Cumberland, Indiana.  In the mid 1980s, Uniden
 bought out the Bearcat  scanner  line  and  Uniden's  first
 Bearcat scanner was the 800XLT model.

 Most  of  the  models  discussed  in   this   article   are
 base/mobile  units  made  by  Electra  during the 1970s and  |
 1980s although some of the capacitor failures occur in  the  |
 Uniden  BC800XLT, too.  Electra stamped all of its scanners
 with a manufacturing date code on the rear of the  cabinet.
 The   code   is  comprised  of  a  single  character  (C  =
 Cumberland, Indiana, P = Puerto  Rico),  followed  by  four
 digits  denoting  year  and  week  the radio was built. For
 example, "P8422" denotes the radio was made in  the  Puerto
 Rico factory during the 22nd week of 1984.


               Schematics and Parts Available

 Schematic diagrams may be  obtained  from  Uniden/Bearcat's
 parts  department, [phone].  Uniden currently charges
 a flat rate of $54 for scanner repairs.  They  will  repair
 and  return  "out  of  warranty"  items without an estimate
 unless the repair charges exceed  the  flat  rate  charges.
 The phone number for repair is [phone].

 G & G Communications (telephone [phone]) is a  family
 owned  company  which repairs scanners and stocks parts for  |
 several  older  models,  especially   Electra/Bearcat   and  |
 Regency  brands, but they don't sell manuals or schematics.
 They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482.

 Electronic  Repair  Centers  in  Franklin  Park,   Illinois
 (telephone   [phone])   has   been  repairing  Bearcat
 scanners for several years.  They charge a flat $45  repair
 rate  for  programmable  and  $30 for crystal scanners, and
 shipping is extra.   Electronic  Repair  Centers  will  fix
 Regency scanners if they can obtain the parts.


                  Bad Solder Joints Common

 Before addressing specific symptoms, circuit boards in  the
 malfunctioning  scanner should be inspected for poor solder
 joints.

 The Electra/Bearcat BC350, BC300,  BC250,  BC220,  BC20/20,
 BC211,  BC210,  and BC210XL models were hand assembled, and
 every one I've serviced had several connections  that  were
 either soldered poorly, or not soldered at all.

 Resoldering joints on the ribbon cable  connecting  the  RF
 and keyboard logic circuit boards in a BC250 attenuated the
 microprocessor/synthesizer hash noise noticeably.

 A Bearcat 20/20 was experiencing periodic loss of memory on
 some, but not all channels.  When the problem occurred, the
 frequencies on some channels would be  completely  changed.
 On other channels, the frequency would still be intact, but
 the channel would be locked out, and the delay toggled from
 "on" to "off".  Some channels were not affected.

 The 2 "AA"  memory  backup  batteries,  and  their  holder,
 tested  good.   Much  time was spent tracing logic, heating
 and cooling components, and making voltage measurements.

 One of the secondary leads from the power  transformer  was
 connected  to the main circuit board through a hole drilled
 through foil traces on both the top and bottom sides of the
 board.   A  close  examination  revealed that this lead had
 been soldered only on the top of the  board  -  the  bottom
 side had never been soldered.

 Soldering the lead on both sides of the  board  solved  the
 memory loss problem.


                   Symptom: Blank Display

 The BC300 scanner, and several other Bearcat models, employ
 a  switching  type  power supply stage to generate plus and
 minus voltages  in  excess  of  20  volts  DC.   When  this
 switcher fails to function, the display goes blank, but the
 squelch control appears to work, and  white  noise  can  be
 heard in the speaker.

 In almost a dozen of the BC300 and BC800XLT  scanners  I've  |
 fixed,  C98,  a capacitor in series with the primary of the
 switching transformer failed, causing  the  output  of  the
 supply to drop below the level needed to power the display.
 The switching transformer is  mounted  on  the  RF  circuit
 board,  and  is  much,  much  smaller  than  the main power
 transformer,  which  is  usually  fastened  to  the   metal
 chassis.   The  22uF/16V  capacitor  used  for C98 in early
 BC300s was marginal,  and  was  replaced  with  a  47uF/25V
 capacitor in later units.

 I replaced the 22  uF  capacitor  in  the  switching  power
 supply  stage  of  a BC210XL which caused the same symptom.
 Other capacitors in the switcher stage have failed.   C114,
 a  4.7  uF/35V  tantalum  capacitor  failed in at least one
 BC250, causing the display to blank.

 A more sinister problem affects  the  switcher  in  earlier
 models.   The  switching  supply  stage  in  the  BC250 and
 original BC210 is driven by a clock signal derived  from  a
 custom  Exar NC57902 divider integrated circuit (designated
 IC6 in the BC250 scanner).  I've seen this divider IC  fail
 in  several  BC250s,  causing a blank display (except for a
 decimal point in the BC250's rightmost digit).  This custom
 IC is no longer available from Uniden.


            Symptom: Invalid Frequency Displayed

 A common Bearcat 250 malady is  manifested  by  an  invalid
 frequency  displayed  on  the  readout.  This  condition is
 temporarily "cured" by unplugging the AC line cord from the
 wall, then replugging it.  This condition is symptomatic of
 a power supply problem in which Q204, a  Texas  Instruments
 TIP-29 located on the feature circuit board, fails.

 A Philips ECG291 will work as a substitute for the  TIP-29.
 Don't  try a Radio Shack substitute, it hasn't worked.  See
 Martin Toomajian's article, "Bearcat  250  Erratic  Display
 Cure", in January 1987 Monitoring Times.

 A similar  problem  in  the  Bearcat  20/20  was  discussed
 previously in the section on bad solder joints.


        Symptom: Squelch Won't Eliminate White Noise

 Most Uniden/Bearcat base/mobile scanners  feature  an  AUTO
 squelch  position,  actuated  by  rotating the squelch knob
 fully  counter  clockwise.   The  BC350  used  a   separate
 pushbutton  switch  for this purpose.  These scanners use a
 flimsy potentiometer (designated R81 in BC300s)  internally
 mounted on the RF circuit board, to set the level of signal
 required to open the squelch when  in  the  AUTO  position.
 This  pot  also  has an effect on the squelch action in the
 non-AUTO mode, and determines at which  point  the  squelch
 knob must be positioned in order to silence the radio.

 Although the potentiometer  is  adjusted  at  the  factory,
 changes  in component values due to aging often necessitate
 readjustment of this internal pot.  Misadjustment  of  this
 pot  has  been  the cause of "no squelch" complaints in two
 BC300s and a BC250 I fixed.

 Another squelch failure is due to a blown  transistor  that
 acts  as  the  electronic switch in the squelch circuit.  I
 replaced this transistor in only one BC300, so I don't know
 if this is a common problem.


              Symptom: Scanner Completely Dead

 In Bearcat scanners using an internal power  supply  (e.g.,
 BC350,   BC250,   etc.),  the  main  power  transformer  is
 connected directly to the AC line.  Since the on/off switch
 is  on the secondary side of the transformer, current flows
 in the primary as long as the AC line cord is plugged  into
 an   active  AC  outlet.   These  transformers  contain  an
 internal circuit breaker,  not  visible  without  unwinding
 (destroying)  the  transformer.   The  internal  breaker is
 known to fail prematurely  in  a  batch  of  Bearcat  power
 transformers.

 If your scanner is completely dead, check  the  primary  of
 this transformer for an open circuit condition.


                  Symptom: Keyboard Bounce

 After  much  use,  the  Chromerics  keyboards  in   Bearcat
 scanners  start  to wear out.  The first sign of trouble is
 usually keyboard bounce on the most  frequently  used  key,
 e.g.,  the  MANUAL  key.  Replacement keyboards are usually
 available from UNIDEN, but replacement requires  dexterity,
 as  one must take care not to tear the flat, flexible strip
 connecting the keyboard to the logic board.


          Symptom: Keyboard Completely Unresponsive

 The keyboard matrix is  "scanned"  by  the  microprocessor.
 Another problem is when none of the keys seems to function;
 the  receiver  just  keeps  scanning  in   spite   of   key
 depressions.   I  found this condition in a BC210XL scanner
 owned by a heavy smoker.  Perhaps  nicotine  smoke  was  to
 blame, as the resistance between two input port pins on the
 microprocessor was down to about  1000  ohms,  fooling  the
 microprocessor  into  believing that a key was stuck in the
 "down" position.  Scraping the circuit  board  between  the
 two pins with an X-Acto knife fixed the problem.


                       Other Problems

 Complaints of low audio output and occasional  microphonics  |
 in three Uniden/Bearcat 800XLTs were caused by a bad 47 ufd
 electrolytic  capacitor  in  series  between  the  external
 speaker jack and audio amplifier.

There are no regulations with regard to bringing your scanner into the
UK (What sort do u have ?). There are no restrictions on frequency
coverage either.

As soon as you turn the thing on though you begin to enter the "grey
zone".

The Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 does not allow you to receive
anything other than authorised Broadcast stations, Amateur Radio and
CB transmissions together with weather or navigation information WHEN AT sea.

The listening to Aircraft (VHF/UHF) is just as illegal in the UK as
listening to the Police, Fire, Ambulance, Cellular etc etc.

Airband listening is a very popular part of the "scene" here in the UK-
visit any airfield civil or military especially somewhere like Heathrow
or Mildenhall/Lakenheath and you will see an array of mag mount
antennas that would do any inteligence (sp?) site proud.

The Radio Communictions Agency produce a A4 information sheet on the use
of scanners (Form RA169, phone number +(0)171 215 2150). The reverse
side of which has the following "Questions and answers":-

Is a licence needed to own a scanner ?
   Not if is inherently incapable of tranmissions. But its use to listen
   in to private messages is an offence.

Does owning a scanner make a person liable to prosecution ?
   No, but is use, except as permitted under section 5(b) of the
   Wireless Telepgrphy Act would.

Is it all right to listen as long as what is overheard is not disclosed ?
   No, using radio equipment to listen in, except as provided for by
   Section 5(b) is an offence, regardless of whether the information is
   passed on.

Could I get "authority" from the Secretary Of State to listen to the
emergency and martime and aeronatical services. I am interested in them
and wish to help ?
   No, the Secretary oOf State's authority is usually reserved for
   persons acting at his request and on his behalf. If you wish to
   listen in to messages, you must obtain permission of the person
   sending them.

Isn't this a bit heavy handed ?
   No, no one likes their private conversations to be listened in to.
   Parliament has passed the laws in question to protect the privacy of
   radio users.


At the end of the day though providing you act "normally" (whatever that
may be) and don't go around chasing after Police Cars or similar there
is more channce of you Winning the National Lottery than being in
trouble for using your scanner.

The best book for general frequencies is the UK Scanning Directory
(costs 17.50 from most outlets).

Are you staying in London or moving around a little ?

Does this mean that if you listen to weather or navigation information while
on land you are breaking the law? This seems a rather silly law.

Having listened to aircraft here in Canada, I can't imagine what the pilots or
controllers are saying that they would consider private. I'm sure they don't
care if people with scanners here them say "...roger, reducing speed to 200
knots."

Considering that it is virtually impossible to inforce a no-listening law of
this sort then the privacy of radio users is hardly being protected.

In Canada, the radio laws seem somewhat more realistic. It's not illegal to
monitor any frequency here, as long as you don't divulge information that you
may hear or use it to your advantage. That way the law is aimed at abusers of
the system, such as criminals using a scanner to evade police, not the
otherwise law abiding citizen.

If you use a radio, it's like yelling in the park - anybody could hear you. If
you absolutely need privacy then use a scrambler. One shouldn't rely on
government laws to provide you with private conversations on the air because
they won't.

I don't have any specific info for you, but don't be such a pessimist.
Scanner manufacturers might not figure out what they need to be
marketing, but after-market add-ons will make it possible for you to
hear what you want.

                         UN ARMY ON US SOIL

   WASHINGTON - For the first time on U.S. soil, NATO soldiers
will hold a peacekeeping exercise with troops of the former Warsaw
Pact, the Pentagon announced Friday.
   The exercise, called Cooperative Nugget '95, will be held Aug. 6-28
at Fort Polk, La.
   About 4,200 troops from 14 central and eastern European countries
as
well as the United States, Canada and Britain will participate. Nine
countries will send observers, including France, Austria and the
former
Soviet republic of Georgia.
Partnership for Peace, but the first in the United States.
   The Clinton administration had wanted Russia to participate in the
August peacekeeping exercise, but Moscow has made no commitment. A
joint U.S.-Russian peacekeeping exercise, separate from the Fort Polk
event, is to be held in Kansas in October.
   At the Fort Polk exercise, each participating country will
contribute a rifle platoon. The platoons will be combined to form a
NATO-Partnership for Peace battalion. The national contingents will
receive linguistic and technical support from elements of the 10th
Special Forces Group, from Fort Carson, Colo.
   Of the approximately 2,500 U.S. troops participating, most will be
from the Army's 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment based at Fort Polk, said
Maj. Walter Thorp, a spokesman at U.S. Atlantic Command, which is
helping organize the exercise.
   The non-NATO countries scheduled to participate are Albania,
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania, the Slovac Republic, Slovenia, Ukraine and
Uzbekistan. Each is expected to contribute between 30 and 40 soldiers
plus about 10 to act as observer-controllers.

Which brings me to one question: Why am I receiving 900MHz transmissions

there's a chance thet if they are not in the 400-420mhz or 162-174
federal bands, then they might be somewhere in the 453-454 or 460-461 mhz
police/fire service bands.  JOHN

have knowledge of both of these? I know if you own one or the other you
would say it is good because from what I do know they are both great
scanners. BUT!  Which is best?

Why don't you give it a rest?  Do you *really* have to post this every

I'll give you a $100 for it and you won't have to post these 4sale msgs
any more.

While I have enjoyed, in limited doses, some of this music?, I
sincerely hope NOT to hear it 60 feet down on a reef!

We divers do all we can to avoid crash-dancing with the reef, sharks,
conch, each other, etc.

Surface noise has its place, but NOT on a reef.

Enjoy,

Yes I own a 900mhz scrambled phone. Its digital and when you pop the
freqs into a scanner they sound like:white noise,hash or open squelch.
It works VERY well and I have GREAT range. It's not hype,try one!

Can't do it. You have to enter a upper and lower limit together with
mode and incremenbt step. Store it in one of the Search Banks and away
you go. You have 10 search banks which you can link together or search
separate by using the program/limit option. Be careful not to lock all
the banks out as you can lock the set up :-(

To program bank 1 to search between 123.50MHz and 131.8MHz, in 25KHz steps
and AM Mode.

1.  Press SEARCH         (AR-2000 starts searching)
2.  Press PROG           (PROG & MHz start to flash in the display)
3.  Press 123.5          (Lower frequency,  PROG shows in display and
                          both LIMIT & MHz flash)
4.  Press LIMIT          (Display  clears & MHz remains flashing)
5.  Press 131.8          (Higher frequency)
6.  Press ENTER          (KHz start to flash)
7.  Press 25              (25 shows in display for our chosen steps)
8.  Press Enter          (AM, NFM or WFM will flash in the display)
9.  Alter mode if necessary to AM. (Bank starts flashing)

No I just got in the boards for the 2700 to descamble freq inversion that

The DIAL knob on the AR8000 can be used to adjust the beat tone for
the best sound on the optional DS8000 Descrambler board.

Many have inquired about the DS8000... I'll post an overview of
installation and operation in a moment.

All the best!

We've had quite a few requests for more information about the shipment
of AOR DS8000 Tone/Speech Inversion Descramblers that we received last
week. Here is a quick overview of the instructions for installation
and operation...

TO INSTALL THE AOR DS8000...
o Open the case of the AR8000 by removing four screws (two in the
  battery compartment, and one on each side above the rubber sidewall).
o Remove the jumper pin at the connector on the upper part of the
  circuit board.
o Plug the DS8000 into the connector.
o Reassemble the AR8000 case by replacing the four screws.
o Initialize the DS8000 by holding down the LOCAL key while powering
  up the AR8000.

TO OPERATE THE AOR DS8000...
o Enable/disable DS8000 descrambling by pressing the AR8000 LOCAL key.
o You can also access option board via the SC and SI computer commands.

TO ADJUST THE AOR DS8000...
o You can adjust the beat tone for the best sound by holding down the
  AR8000 LOCAL key and turning the DIAL knob (the descrambling indicator
  on the AR8000 LCD display will change).


All the best!

MODS? There are MODS for the BC700A?  Someone _please_ tell me I can put
back the whole 800 MHz range!

Er, and tell me how, too (or how to find out)...

Just bought a store demonstrator BC700A, as a starter unit. It came without
most everything (no manual, power cube, etc.), just scanner and antenna.
I've figured out just about everything so far, even how to program a
frequency into a memory group, BUT I can't figure out how to get it to
scan _only_ the memory channels.

Until I can get in touch with Uniden for a manual, could some kind soul
help me figure it out?

While going through the user's manual for my new BC9000xlt, I noticed a
feature that Bearcat calls *HI CUT*.  Does anyone know what that feature
does?  The manual doesn't mention anything about it, except for how to
enable/disable it.

Thanks in advance,

I would like to use the record feature to turn a preamp on and off. Has
anyone figured out how to do this with the uniden BC 9000?

Hello,

        I sold my PRO2004 recently and replaced it with a BC9000XLT
assuming that I could use the audio out as I did with my 2004.  I have
a wire running from my scanner (in the living room) to an amplified
speaker in the bedroom.  With the 2004, I just left the radio on with
the volume turned down at night.  The AUX AUDIO output jack was set
to a constant level, unaffected by the volume control.  The 9000 does
not work this way.  The audio out (record) jack on the front is
controlled by the volume control, so I have to leave the radio turned
up at night.  I realize that I could plug the amplified speaker into
the speaker jack at night, cutting off the internal speaker - but I
don't want to have to wear out the plug and jack all the time.  There
is also a phono jack on the back marked AUX - but I have been unable
to get anything but hum from it.  Anyone know how it is to be used,
the impedence, etc?  Any thoughts on a mod to render the audio jack
on the front unaffected by the volume control?

        Another minor annoyance is that you can't use a priority
channel that is locked out.  This sounds like a minor nit to pick,
but that's how I got around the lack of WX key on my 2004.  I just
set a channel to the local NOAA WX station, set it as the priority
channel and locked it out.  Then my PRI key acted like a WX key!  I
would like to see Uniden change this in future models, or give me
a WX key!

        I really do like the radio - and see these as rather minor
concerns.  The text labels are real slick to have...

Tom, N0YGT

Brand new Uniden Bearcat Turbo Sportcat handheld scanner with
auxiliary lighter power cord.  Problem: keys too small and the
display too small for easy reading at this stage in life. Need a
good shortwave receiver with battery capability and lcd display.
Will trade scanner plus cash for a good s/w receiver.  I use this
with scouts and they have turned out to be more interested in
countries reception than what a scanner can bring in.
 And, with hand arthritis, etc., this is just too small a unit
so I am willing to trade for something we can use. Thanks. Please
email as I check in daily. [e-mail]

In Alberta, (and I believe British Columbia as well), there is a book
called "The Alberta (?BC) Frequency List". It costs about $20 and
details are listed by location, frequency and user.I have seen them for
sale in my local RS. It is a "must have" for scanner enthusiasts here.
BTW, I have no connection with the publisher/author. I hope this helps.

Summary: Looking for method of decoding alpha numeric pager transmissions
Keywords: POCSAG PAGER
X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4

Can anyone tell me how I can decode paging company transmissions?

I am looking for some form of interface to go between a receiver's audio
output and a PC with appropriate software.

I know there are many commercially available decoders but I would like
to build my own simple unit just for POCSAG transmissions.

I guess the most important info I need is how to convert the auddio
received into a stream of data.

Assuming the audio is Frewuency Shift Keyed (FSK) binary data,

you could use an Op-Amp to adjust the freq input to the appropriate

RS-232 levels and shape the  square wave at the same time.

I'm looking for the same thing for POCSAG, GSC and Golay; I'd also like
to be  torn enough to build an encoder for the same thing.
I've got a pair of alphanumeric GSC pagers (Motorola OPTRX) on 452
I want to move to a ham 450 frequency, and build a encoder into the
repeater.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good belt holder for a BC200XLT?
I already have the one that comes with it, and would like something
different. Here is what I am looking for:

        o Solid belt clip (not a belt loop)
        o Unrestricted access to keypad
        o Black (at least not grey :-)

If anyone has run across one, would you please let me know?

Thanks!

I used to pick up Monitoring Times at the local radio store , but now
that its 7 bucks plus tax they will never get my business again, and
before anyone says to subscribe, I don't read them that often, as well
as Canadian$ to American $ is too much as well. Thats why I'm seeing so
many US tourists here in Toronto, greta place plus almost 40% exchange
to your advantage.

I have a tape recorder with VAS (voice activated system) which should be
great for taping all night, but there's a problem.  I'm using a Uniden
Bearcat 8500-XLT and when I plug the connector for the tape recorder
into the headphone jack on the scanner, apparently there is just enough
of an electronic hum to keep the tape recorder moving, even if it is just
scanning and is not fixed on an active frequency.

First, why would it do this?  Second, is this common at all, or just on
certain types of scanners?  Third, is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks for your help.

Rick, I have a similar recorder, and the volume going into the recorder is
controlled two different ways--by the volume control of the scanner, and
by the volume control of the recorder.  So if the volume of the hum is not
controlled by the scanner volume control, try turning down the volume of
the recorder when you record.  Another shot is to buy Radio Shack's
attenuator jack that reduces the input signal automatically--costs maybe
three bucks.   Good Luck!

I am the sad owner of a Radio Shack PRO-2004 that unfortunately has lost
its mind. (The scanner, not me!)  I have the service manual and have
pretty much narrowed the problem down to a bad CPU.  A call to one local
Radio Shack revealed that the part is no longer available.  I plan to call
another store to make sure.

Anyway, I really like this scanner.  It is the predecessor to the PRO-2006.
Its EL LCD backlight has just about quit, but I can live with a dim display.
Does anyone have a suggestion on finding a source for a replacement processor?
The CPU is a GRE-0327, obviously a custom programmed processor.  Anyone know
who made this chip?  It is possible that the PRO-2006 also used the same CPU
since most of the PRO-2004 to PRO-2006 changes were cosmetic.

Someone (Ken) pointed out that Radio Shack has an 800 number for parts and
service.  I called this morning and ordered the CPU for $25.  It pays to
double check.  The person I spoke to at the 800 number was surprised that
a local store had told me it was no longer available.  The store sales person
also told me he knew of no number to call to get replacement parts, and that
all requests HAD to go through a retail store.

Soon to be happy again PRO-2004 owner,

Hi all

I need some help whit my scanner, a old ar2002, I wand to hook it up to the
computer.
There is a 16-pins on the back, but no info on who to connect to the pc.

Is there anyone that have experience in operating a scanner whit the pc,
software, speed, duples, S-meter, etc.




Thanks

Yes, that's a common phenomena with R-7000.  As the reference oscillator
crystal ages, it changes frequency.  There's a variable slug tuned
coil located under a shielded partition on the side of the R-7000
used to tweak the oscillator back on frequency.  It's a fairly
simple adjustment.  The difficult part is finding the proper coil.
Make sure you use a proper alignment tool to avoid breaking the
core.

By all means, get a service manual.  The schematic shows the coil,
but the symbol for the coil is in error as it doesn't show the coil
as tunable.  A schematic is furnished with the R-7000 so you should
be able to find the coil without the full service manual.

I replaced the R7000 with an R7100 and no longer have the R7000
service manual.

Anyone interested in a frequency counter program using a PC and a SB
sound card?  I am thinking of writing one that may handle frequencies up
to 6kHz.  IT would list all strong frequencies in a given signal over a
set noise threshold.

Any takers?

It already exists as a commercial product.   Actually, there
are three products for the MS-Windows environment, all of
which give you:

Time-series display
Spectrum display
3-D surface display
Color spectrogram display.
Maximum rate = 44kHz
FFT sizes = 128, 256, 512, 1024 or 2048 points, user selectable.
Update speed = >15/second with 1024-point FFT on 486-50
Peak Tracking (Maximum amplitude frequency continuously displayed)
Markers = Three user-defined frequency markers.
All displays are printable
Many more features that I am too lazy to type in right now.
Requires: MS-Windows v3.1, 80386 or better, 2MB RAM, VGA or better,
          Windows-compatible 8 or 16-bit sound card, Mouse & Math
          co-processor recommended.

The three different versions give you increasing capabilities:

1) Spectra Vision ($89): All of the above, but no record or playback.

2) Spectra Plus v2.0 ($179): All of the above, plus Record,
   Playback and post-process from WAV files.

3) Spectra Pro (aka Sprctra Plus v3.0) ($395).   Additional
   features.   They are sending me the information on them
   and I will post it when I receive it.

This software is available from:

      Pioneer Hill Software
      24460 Mason Road
      Poulsbo, WA 98370

      800-401-3472 (voice)
      206-697-3472 (voice/FAX)

I have not used this software, but am just quoting the
information from a two year old brochure.   I did verify
the prices this morning, however.

A little expensive.  I was going to make one with the same FFT sizes,
different selectable windows (Hamming, Hanning, etc.) and list strong
freqs, i.e. peak tracking for only $15.  Hmmm, depends on your taste i
guess..

I am using the same antenna & configuration with a 2004.  It works very well
for metro areas where you don't want to much gain.

I have been reading that the display on the 2006 will go dim in time.
How long will it take for this to happen?  I just bought a new 2006 and
have been using the light very sparingly and would like to use it more
often. Any advice?

The displays in the Uniden BC200XLT and BC100XLT portable scanners are
lit by an entirely different mechanism.

The EL backlight in my PRO-2006 grew dim gradually, over the course
of several years.  I always had the light dimmed using the front
panel dimmer switch.  Since it was an earlier PRO-2006, the switch
in my unit did not disable the backlight entirely.

Don't worry about the backlight *too* much, i.e., to the
point at which it interferes with using PRO-2006.
Order a replacement backlight and a service manual --
then use and enjoy one of the best scanners ever made.

Bob,
        I have a uniden handheld that I got 5 years ago. I use the back
light extensively, and it is yet to grow dim. It's about the same as it
was when I first got it. I wouldn't stress it.

Hi there...

Well, you bought it for its features right?  Why not use them?  I've read
things telling one not to keep the light on because of possible burnout
but why would they put it in there if it wasn't going to last?
Well...nevermind about that.  Keep that light on if it lets you read the
display better, you've paid for it!!  I've had my Pro-2006 for about 3
years now and I use my light A LOT and its just as good as when I bought
it.

I'm posting this rather than email since others may need this info.

All Electronics, in Los Angeles, had a BUNCH of Regency keyboards a
while back - I bought a spare for my M-400.  You might want to
give them a phone call: 818-904-0524, 800-826-5432.

At the time, they didn't know what they were, and were selling them for
under $5.  Maybe they are out of them, maybe not.  You might have to
fax them a drawing of your keypad, as they had several different layouts.

i need any ideas you folks may have on improving the reception i get
from my scanner when i am tuned to the "med channel" frequencies used
by paramedics when radio reporting to the hospital,these are split
frequencies and i do have them divided up in my memories but it seems
that the hospitals transmitter is more powerful so you generaly have no
problem hearing the hospital.where the dificulty is, is when the
ambulance is transmitting to the hospital you cannot here the
paramedics report.i know the ambulances transmitters are much less
powerful but i figure if the hospital can here them from further away
then why would it be necessary for the ambulance to practicallly be on
top of you before you pick up their signal on the scanner.any help or
advice anyone can offer me would be greatly appreciated.please e-mail
me at [e-mail]   or [e-mail]

I presume you mean I-90 to Rochester from I-81
The NYS Troopers Troop 'T' cover the thruway and use a repeater system
The repeaters have two outputs: 453.425 and 453.525
The outputs alternate between repeaters.  So once you drive out of range
of the one, switch to other frequency.  You will be able to hear just
about all of the units between Rochester and Syracuse because I beleive
that is all one 'zone' As an added bonus you will hear a roll call on the
hour that gives temp/road conditions at each exit, and this you will hear
for every exit on the Thruway.

I think you mean the New York State Police.  I might be able to help

Well folks, thought I let you know about my field test with the Scout
with Ver 3.0 software. I started off by trying to capture the freqs of
the PD unit that was dispatched a few houses down on a domestic violence
call. With the 46" ANT-8 I never did get a lock on the freq finder even
though I was within 60 feet of the officer while he was using his HT.

Next I wandered around the crowd in SF who were watching the
President/Secret Service activites. The 46" antenna did allow a few hits
of SS personnel but drew FAR too much attention. Any lesser antenna
yielded 0 hits of agents 20 feet away who were using their radios.

A trip out to the San Jose airport yielded 0 hits even when parked next
to the tower, strolling around the terminal, or next to the glass windows
as a pilot on the other side sitting the cockpit was talking to ground
control.

I tried using a preamp (no preselector) and didn't get any noticable
benefit in any of the areas.

Hand held cell phones were captured only when I was within range of the
voice of the caller. Beyond 15 feet - forget it. Transportables were a bit
better. Capture out to about 20 - 25 feet.

Cordless phone handsets were undetectable unless the antennas were
practically touching. The base station side was completely undetectable.
Even when the antennas were touching... Useless for that application!

I planted a 200 mWatt wireless mic that transmitted on 180.2 Mhz.
I was able to detect it at 10 feet. The bargraph worked great to locate
the transmitter.

5 watt VHF and UHF HTs in the ham bands were detectable out to about 60 feet
depending on antenna phasing. If the 46" ANT-8 was polarized with the
transmitter then 60 - 70 feet was the best range I experienced. Cut the
transmit power to 1 watt and the distance was cut in half. If the Scout
antenna was cross polarized with the transmitter the range was also halved.

As a test bench accesssory it was great. As a monitoring tool it was
pretty much useless as it came out of the box. Maybe with an amp and
preselector it performs better but there's VERY few of us who are willing
to spend $1,500 - $1,600 for a frequency finder!

Thank GOD for the satisfaction guarrantee! UPS has the unit on its way
back to Grove to be tested by their techs to see if something was wrong
with the particular unit that I had been shipped. Some folks report MUCH
better results. Unfortunately, the particular unit I received was a poor
performer as a listening tool. Maybe the next generation will be better...

I've had a Scout for about 2 months.  In areas of high ambient RF you
can't expect as much accurate capture as in areas with  a lower RF
level.  For instance, in the heart of mid-Manhattan the Scout's capture
algorithm can't pick discrete signals out of the hash, but along
California suburban California freeways all sorts of good hits come up.
In rural areas with the little stub antenna you can capture cell sites
(and, more often, paging transmitters) from 1000 feet away; in NYC 100
feet can be too far.  Inside buildings can be great for capturing
in-house signals if the building itself shields against outside RF; try
your Scout at indoor events in steel buildings and you will be pleasantly
surprised.

In urban areas most of my hits tend to be SMR inputs, 3W cellphones,
paging xmtrs and notorious open carriers (data links, etc.)

Also, don't trust everything you see on your Scout.  I doubt the aero
freqs are good hits.  Lots of bogus 100-200 mHz hits show up on mine.

I like the unit.  I'd recommend it for whoever has the $$$ to drop on
something without a speaker.

The bogus hits tend to congregate in different frequency ranges depending
on the antenna you use. Once you know the resonant ranges of the
particular antenna, it becomes easy to throw away the red herrings.

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
other antennas and see what happens. ttyl george-

Antennas, Filters, and preamps are the key.  If you know someone is
transmitting on a particular band, then you will get an easier reading if
you bring  the rf floor down by using a filter - opto and startek both
sell them.  Their cell band filter/amplifier works great.  I haven't tried
their adujustable pre selector, supposedly excellent - should be for $1k.
Antenna wise I use the DB32 only when necessary to keep th scout lowkey,
otherwise the max800 is great for 800-900, and and I ether use a
telescopic or a anli all band rd the rest of the time.

For sale a VERY little used APS -104 preselector. Made by Optoelectronics to
increase the range of their nearfield devices by ten times. I paid $995.00
plus tax and shipping. The first "real" offer of $600.00 takes it. I pay
shipping. It is brand new in box with instructions.

Actually it plugs into your receiver / scanner.  I know what you mean
about the volume sensitivity.  A perfect solution which worked for me was
to use the tape out jack on my 2006.  That, and an outside antenna tuned
to the 900 Mhz band makes this system bulletproof.

good luck

Has anyone tried extracting data from the Spring, 95 Percon Spectrum CD
using MS Access v1.0?

So far Access and my cd-rom drive has been running for almost two days
straight and is only 35% done. Naturally at this rate it's going to be a
while still. I've attached the Spectrum .dbf file as a table. Using this
table I've written a query using the '*' to select all fields and state
using a criteria of "MI" for Michigan. This query is a make table query.
I'm using a macro to run the query and also have a "setwarnings" command
set to "no".

Sounds simple enough to me, but it just seems as though it should be
running a bit quicker. I'd appreciate input from someone who has tried
using Access to extract out specific data such as I am.

Thanks,
John M Morrison, Detroit, MI

I did the same thing with the Fall '94 CD and Access.  I attached the file
as a dbase IV table and selected all fields from the table and used a make
table query for all records with State equal to "Al".  It took about an
hour and a half using a 386 DX 40 with 8MB of RAM.

It does take a while, so be patient.

Cell phones comes in two set of frequency,


1)  825.030 to 844.980   These frequency are what the portables,
                         and car phone use to communcate with
                      the cellular system.  If you pick up
                   anything in this range it means the person
                      using the cell phone is close to you, since
                          the cell phones can only put out about 3
                           to 5 watts by law. Most of the time you
                           only hear one side of conversation.

2) 870.030 to 889.980    These are the frequency of the cell sites,
                            They are big repeater system located
                                everywhere. Listening in this range you
                                    can hear both side of the conversation
                                       and a greater distance away because
the                                     repeaters put out about 100 to 150
watts.

The President is in San Francisco today.  As with previous visits, I've

Folks - re-posting to a spam does nothing but lengthen its life.  You
want to do something about the spammers (and I'm all for that), contact
[e-mail].   The big online services (aol, prodigy) seem to
produce the most spams (probably because they have the most users, and
many of those are fairly clueless :-).  The good side of that is that
those big online services also respond very quickly to spamming problems
originating inside their walls.

The current one we're dealing with did *not* originate there - it came
from a site called "ixc.net", which means nothing to me, but I'm going to
send an e-mail to the [e-mail], just in case.

Yep, that's about it! I have a Maritime Radio Licence Licence (restricted) for VHF
use AT SEA and technically I can't listen to a weather forecast broadcast by the
coastguard while ashore!

What kind of recorder do you use for the scanner recordings?  I am using one of
the GE microcassette recorders with VOX which works adequately fine.  The only
problem is even with the slow speed, I can record only 1 hour worth of
recording on 30 min. tape.  Also the recording is not of great fidelity.

I am looking for the affordable one which should record automatically on the
both sides (auto reverse) and with VOX capability.  Any recommendation on
models which I can afford (below $100)?

Thanks for your advance consideration.

I use my SVHS Video, it give upto 8hours of record time. BUT you have to record and then search for sound, so
its a lot of silence and a bit of air time really.

I doubt a longplay video is less than 100 though :(

I recently brought the scout,  I just want to say if anybody is thinking of
buying one buy it.  This as great little freg count. I live in NYC and I go
to central park on the week end, with the scout I pick all kinds of freqs.
Park police, park ems, yes cellular phones.  I checked, it is ok to pick up
the freqs of cell phone but by law you can not listen to it.  But who is
out there checking anyway .  I seen a women sitting about 15 to 25 feet
away from me, and she starts to use her cell phone, and bingo my scout
picks up the freq she is using.  I guess if I had a scanner that could pick
up the cell band I could hear what she is talking about.

I've got the TR4500 a.k.a TR2500 ,I'm not sure what the difference is but
I paid        $ 469 for the one I purchased.Anyway other than a display
problem and an intermittant glitch in the RS-232 port it's money well
spent.Several BBS's have software to run the unit,and you'll need it as it
has 2016 channel slots and 10 or 11 search banks.

Don't worry.  A lot of smaller departments, like my local PD, don't have
the money to purchase expensive digital radios (mobiles, hts and base
radios), especially when the officers are below the poverty line.  Some of
the larger, well funded PDs may switch over to digital, but analog is
going to be still going to be used for a while to come.

I am looking for a source for the Uniden MR8100

but, when I called they said the scanner had been
discontinued quite some time ago.  So, if anyone
has a used one in good working order or knows where
I might still find a new one, I'd appreciate hearing
about it!  Thanks, Greg.

   Dave was heard to whisper across the Electronic Void:

D<>I recently tried hooking up my TV cable to my Pro-46 with a RF to BNC
D<>converter. I couldn't get any reception. Could anyone please tell me why
D<>this doesn't work? Shouldn't I be able to get great reception at _some_ freq

   I may be wrong, but isn't most TV cable coax? If it's coax it's
   shielded, and if it's shielded you won't get any reception...
   a plain wire would be better - just make sure it's the correct
   length for the freq(s) you want.

The other reason that he couldn't get a signal is beacause a CATV system
is designed only to carry braodcast signal & filter out all others. Yeah
it would be great if CATV companies didn't filter out the 2-way radio
spectrum, but then would you want to $14.95 a month so you could listen to
your local frequencies?? Great idea, I made the same mistake 16 years ago
in my early days working @ a CATV system. Better to goout & buy a quality
moniroring antenna.

Good Luck

I just returned last week from D.C..  First off unless you are taking 3
or 4 radios I'd concentrate on a couple of agencies to listen too.  I
choose D.C.F.D. and Alexandria, VA.  The disptach fre for DCFD is
154.1900, EMS uses 852.6375, & 852.6125.  Alexandria PD,FD, Amb uses
856.8375, 857.8375, 858.8375, 859.8375, 860.8375.

There were just to many law freqs to try to keep track of.  I enjoyed
these freqs each night while in the area.

If you are uncomfortable, consider this:
Either at your local library or magazine store get copies of
        73
        CQ
        or QST
Each lists HAMFESTS that are in your area. A hamfest is a swapmeet,
tailgate gathering or flea market where radio equipment, computer stuff,
scanners and other goodies are sold and sometimes traded.  If you know
what you want, bring cash and batteries.
In my opinion, goods are sold at 1/3 retail.  Not bad, if you can try the
stuff out before you buy, or you demo what you want to sell.  I've found
some neat stuff this way, and sold what I didn'need.

Just a thought......

I believe that one is safer on usenet.  At hamfests, you don't usually see
the seller again.  In fact, knowing this, a seller won't mind sticking you
with defective goods.

With the one to one relationship, including usually a phone number, I find
that people are much more honest.  I have bought and sold more than 10 items
this way and am much more pleased than through a hamfest.

I've bought 3 items and sold three on radio.swap.  All deals
went perfectly and all equipment was exactly as advertisized.
That doesn't mean there aren't problems, I just haven't had
any.  Standard procedure...buyer sends certified payment, then
sender sends equipment.  Second choice = COD.

I've sold three scanners in the past year. In one instance, the buyer sent
me a money order; in an other, the buyer sent me a personal check; and in
the third instance, the buyer requested COD. The first two buyers showed
great faith, in my opinion, for sending a complete stranger hundreds of
dollars for something they've never seen before. Lucky for my buyers, what
they got were scanners that were exactly as a described them (mint). I'm
not so sure that I would be so trusting.

Perhaps if two people (strangers) have done business and were happy with
the results, they might consider acting as references for the other
person. Over a period of time, they would build up a pretty good network.
Just a thought.

I've bought lots of stuff sight unseen from people I'd never met for
years.  To avoid being ripped off:

If possible, pay with a major credit card.  You have recourse through the
credit card issuer if things are not as expected.

When dealing with an individual, always pay with a U.S. Postal Money
Order available for .85 at any post office.  These are cashable at any
post office as well.  The Post Office keeps all the cashed money orders
for years and can provide a copy of both sides if necessary. Also, if you
use a P.M.O. you have recourse through the Postal Inspection Service if
you don't get what you paid for.

It also never hurts to ask the seller if he has sold other stuff to folks
on the Net and if so their names and addresses. Contact them and ask if
they were happy with their purchase, was it shipped promptly and was it
properly packed for shipment.

If you use a little common sense and follow the above policies you should
do just fine.

Here in the UK CB is FM and it has an unusuall freq step, most scanners dont cover that step.
Youd need a scanner with 1khz stepping to get CD here.

Also as said CB's are really cheap so....

Jeff said just a couple of days ago that his store has them in stock:

      The Ham Station, 220 N. Fulton  Ave.,  Evansville,  IN
      47719-0522.  Telephone [phone].

That's where I bought my BC3000XLT and extra battery a few
months back.

Following the thread RE: Zapper & its use I decided to build one. I
obtained the kit from JDR Microdevices and completed assembly in about 1
hour. The range when completed was only about 1 car length even when
peaked as instructed.

I soldered an additional 3" of antenna and the performance Zoooomed.
Unfortunately trying to operate the unit with the new antenna sticking
out the front was a pain. I relocated the circuit board from the front of
the unit to just in front of the battery and folded the antenna into a
=> shape pointing forward. I potted the base of the antenna in epoxy for
support.

When reassembled the unit tripped the radar detector at 126 yds. Nice
improvement... I tested the unit with a Uniden, 4 band STALKER model
LRD-9000W detector. Strangely enough, it registered as a Ka band radar
gun rather than a K band radar. So much the better...

My neighborhood has been plagued with youthful speeders who think that
radar detectors offer them a free pass. After placing the Zapper on a
fence and powering it with a battery eliminator and a timer. I've noticed
a unique slowing of traffic along my block in the afternoon when the unit
is on.

Lets hear it for FCC part 19 and low power transmitters...

I believe removing D513 activates cellular AND set the processor up
for 30 kHz steps.  Adding D512 sets the step back to 12.5 kHz.

I need advice from an owner of a PRO-2004 about how it behaves after
it has been modified.

I did the mod (added diode D-512) to enable 30 KHz steps in the
cellular range, but it doesn't seem to work. The radio still steps in
5, 12.5, or 50 KHz steps only.

When this mod was done on your 2004, did the "icon" on the bottom of the
display still say 12.5 even though it was stepping in 30 KHz steps, or
does it change actually say 30KHz?

I've enabled the cellular frequencies, (removed D-513), added the
extra 100 memories (added D-510), increased scan speed (added D-514),
and tried to enable the 30 KHz steps (added D-512).

I've also changed the xtal to 10.0 MHz. That really speeds up the scan rate!

What am I doing wrong? What am I missing?

Thanks;

Has anyone any ideas, as to what to use, to seal the ear jack.
So as to keep the dirt (sand) out of the radio.

A good squirt of Super-glue should seal it very well.

Sorry, i couldn't resist.
Seriously, on ICOM R1's there is a little rubber plug to seal the jacks.
Contact ICOM and try to get one.

Grove Enterprises, among other companies, sell frequency doublers (tune
to 400 Mhz on your scanner, get an 800 Mhz signal in return).

What I am looking for is a frequency divider - tune to 400 Mhz, get 200 Mhz.

I'd like to monitor Military aircraft and other types of military
communication (which mostly live in the 200 - 300+ Mhz range).

Most scanners cut out the 200 - ~400 Mhz range.  I'd like to restore it
without having to buy another scanner just for this.

If anyone knows of either a simple, small kit I can build, or of some
company which sells a divider, please let me know.

Thanks much in advance.

The device you are looking for is known as a frequency converter.  A

Ive been listening to airport frequencies for about 5 months now and i
listen to San Jose airport stuff, the tower frequency for san jose is
124.0000. When the airplanes take off, the tower tells them to switch
from 124.0000 to bay departure which is 121.3000. Then the guy from bay
departure says "Bay Departure, Radar contact." Can someone please tell
me what "radar contact" means???

Oh yeah, if anyone also has a frequency list for all the airports in
the Bay area(San Jose, Oakland, Moffit, etc...) can you please send me
it thanks....

A friend of mine just purchased a BC80XLT for $250. I (and he) really
don't know anything about Bearcats and purchased this pretty blindly(I'm
still using my Pro-42).  Is this a good unit? Was that a good price? Is
there a mod. for it? Any other info worth noting?
Would appreciate a reply here or e-mail. Thanks.

Yes, Tony, you can purchase a GRE SuperConverter 9001 from Grove at
1-800-438-8155 (~$100 incl. S&H) to enable the complete 800 - 900 MHz
band.
Hope that helps you some.

Tom,
As a bit of humor, a co-worker who bought a PRO 2035 on sale recently, and
then experienced my BC9000XLT, said that the biggest annoyance about the
9000 was that he didn't own one !!

Your comments however, are well taken.  And, I wish the ext.spkr. jack was
on the rear off the unit........

I suspect it is the fault of a SYSOP.  The Roy Hobbs BBS is run by Cono
Delrosso, N2UTO from somewhere in New Jersey; Teaneck, Little Ferry, Lodi,
or Moonachie and maybe others.

I lost $200 when I tried to buy a Pro-43 scanner from him.  I would
imagine that people trying to sell stuff have a harder time because so
many people have been ripped off.  I have certainly learned my lesson.

When I sent the money, I was confident that I could trust the guy.  After
all he included his phone number with his electronic ad, he is a licensed
Amateur Radio Operator, and he  appears to be SYSOP of a big BBS with lots
of users.  That may explain why he tried to make it look like all messages
received at his BBS originated there.  He probably didn't know how mad
people would get when they received hundreds of duplicate messages.  Also
he appears to be a BBS and FidoNet expert -- he puts out BBS lists.
Appearances can be deceiving :(

Lets get something straight.  The Roy Hobbs Bbs is in one location only.
Teaneck is not the location.
If your going to flame the guy don't drag others into it.

Coz N2KWE The Dx Connection Bbs Teaneck N.J.

Hi! I am new to this scanner stuff.  I am interested in buying a
scanner.  I want to use it to hear phone conversations and police and
other emergencies in my city or even other cities.  What would be a
good one to buy?  I want to spend between $100-200.  Someone please
write me back with some good suggestions. Thanks

I would reccomend the Pro-62 by Radio Shack if you can still get them.
It is slightly above your price range, but well worth it.  It is able to
scan all of the freq's you want (I don't reccomend telling people that
you want to listen to telephones though!  It is now illeagal to do so!)

I'm still trying to find out how to descramble 507.937.  Sometimes it is
clear, other times
it just sounds like loud hissing.  Apparently the users flip a switch when
they don't want
anyone listening in.  Sounds like County prosecutors, but not sure.
Thanks.

A.S.

A.S.,

Yes, 507.9375 is the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.  The hissing you
are hearing is digital encryption, and there is no way to decode it.

One way to eliminate the hissing is to have a scanner that can monitor in
CTCSS, in which case the prosecutor's office uses 192.8 Hertz on this
frequency.

Just a few corrections.  The "DETECTIVES" frequencies are not trunked and
there is no 6 district.  The channels you have listed as 61 to 66 are
already assigned to other users (see your own listing) with the exception
of 861.1875 which is used by the Marine Unit.

The most used would probably be 2182 kHz - that's the Calling And
Distress frequency (worldwide). It's just like the VHF channel 16.
The working frequency is 2670 kHz (just like VHF ch. 22a).

But I bet most of the CG's communicatins are conducted on VHF on the Lakes.

There are 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 22 MHz SSB frequencies that the CG
uses but these are mainly for the high seas. If your library has
a government documents sections you can find the list of freqs
there. It's been too many years for me to recall them, but
8765.4 and 13,113.2 kHz SSB come to mind. (1980). Look for
the publication titled Radionavigational Aids or something like
that.

I know from being on board a number of the cutters, including just
recently, that they still haved the HF 4 channell SSB units on board.
2182 Mhz is one of the freqs, but they also have assigned 3 other
non-standard working channels.

I am currently using rg8x in a 100ft run,would I gain any advantage by
switching to RG6-U.  I plan on using one antenna for two scanners
and would like to keep the signal loss down to the minimum.  I also plan
on adding a Grove's Pre-5 to my antenna.

Thanks for any replies

Hello All,
        I am new to the scanner scene, and I have 2 questions I hope that
all of you experianced experts can answer.

1- Can somebody post a listing of all the good frequencys for the
Central Ohio Area?  PDs, Fire, EMS, etc...

2- I recently bartered a Radio Shack PRO-50, which seems like a nice
scanner, but upon further investigation, I notice it doesn't cover all
those wonderful 800+ bands you all seem to be talking about.  Is there any
way to modify/reprogram this unit to cover more freqs?  I will talk to a
Rat-Shack salesman tommorrow, but I bet the folks who post on this
newsgroup would probably have better answers for me.  Thanks ahead of time
for your feedback...

We provide clients with the Opto CX12AR; this is a new and improved
replacement for the old Opto CX12. Make sure you get the new CX12AR; the
CX12 is $10 cheaper but it lacks the CX12AR's functionality with the
AR8000 (that's what the new AR suffix stands for). Here's a quick
comparison of the computer interfaces that I posted in May...

There are currently three alternative computer interfaces for the AR8000:

                               Approx  Approx     Advantage over
   Manufacturer     Model      price   size       other alternatives
   ---------------  ---------  ------  ---------  ----------------------
1. AOR              CU8232     $125    12x7x3 cm  Allows AR8000 cloning
2. EDCO             AR8000INF  $100     6x5x2 cm  Small size (DB25 hood)
3. Optoelectronics  CX12AR     $ 88    10x5x3 cm  Also use with Scout 40

We have been providing the Opto CX12AR to our clients since it recently
became available. Besides lower cost, its main advantage is that it has
four ports so you can connect an AOR AR8000, an Opto Scout, and up to two
more devices to your computer simultaneously; the AOR and EDCO interfaces
only support the AR8000. If you eventually buy an Opto Scout (like many
AR8000 owners do) you will avoid buying two interfaces with the CX12AR.

All the best!
- Erik

While monitering 46.870 I heard a conversation during which the cordless
owner indicated their present location. It turned out to be on the other
side of town almost 2 miles away! How could this have been possible? Do
these frequencies skip around? Naturally, I discovered this freq. by
accident.

  There are a number of reasons why you overheard this transmission...
  My personal "el-cheapo" Uniden 49 MHz cordless unit has traveled over
  three miles thanks to some simple mod's.  The first being simply ANTENNA
  improvement!  I have 1/4 wave stainless whip strapped to a tree and it's
  connected to the "base" unit.  I also use a telescopic whip on the handset
  instead of the ducky.  Secondly, I upgraded the 9V nicad pack to a 12V since
  the thing operates properly within 6-14 Vdc.  I know my range improvements
  increase the opportunity to be eavesdropped, but so what!  I'll just use
  the landline for discreet conversations.
  FOR THOSE WHO WONDER... My home is located on several acres and the stock
  setup did not provide adequate service, hence, my need to enhance.

  My 2 cents - anyway

I am thinking about purchasing a discone antenna for the top of my roof.
I saw the one that Radio Shack has for sale for something like $60. A
friend of mine bought the same antenna and he says it works great. What
other brands of discone antennas work good. Would buying something
high-end end and expensive really make a difference or would I be better
off just sticking with the RS model?

Does anyone have a list of the useful frequencies that might be
monitored at the Experimental Aircraft Association Show aka
Oshkosh? Particularly interested in frequencies that might be
used by the Warbirds, among others. Frequency gotten off of a
Monitoring Times article didn't show any activity last year, I've
been told...

 Hey, I got the Rat Shack cable amplifier too. It turned out to be crap

Doesn't do much for 800MHz, but you shouldn't be listening to that in

Are you suggesting that it is unethical for me to listen to monitor trunked

Why shouldn't I be listening to the 800 MHz band?  That band includes public
safety allocations from 821.0125 to 823.9875 and from 866.0125 to 868.9875.
It also includes general radio services.  As for cellular, if someone wants to
broadcast their private telephone conversations over the public airwaves, they
have no cause for complaint if other citizens listen in despite Big Brother's
asinine, unenforceable, and generally ignored laws prohibiting such
interceptions.

I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good belt holder for a BC200XLT?
I already have the one that comes with it, and would like something
different. Here is what I am looking for:

 o Solid belt clip (not a belt loop)
 o Unrestricted access to keypad
 o Black (at least not grey :-)

If anyone has run across one, would you please let me know?

Thanks!

I'm assuming that the recorder lacks a VOX sensitivity adjust, and/or
the sensitivity can't be lowered enought to ignore the hum.

Are you connecting the microphone input of your recorder directly into the
speaker output of the scanner?  If so, you may need to use an attenuating patch
cord.  The mike input is designed for very small input signals, while your
speaker output has relatively high output.  I made one with a ten ohm resistor,
some shielded audio cable, and a 1 uF non-polarized capacitor with a
35 mm film container as a housing.  What I found to work was to put
the resistor across the cable coming from the scanner, connect the
shield straight through to the recorder, and connect the capacitor
between the input of the recorder and the non-shield end of the resistor.
One day I'd like to try some SMT parts to pack this into a connector...

The attenuating patch cord may cut the apparent amplitude of the hum
down enough so that it doesn't trip the VOX circuit in the recorder.

If the hum you're talking about is an AC hum, then the hum is coming from
either the power supply of the scanner via the audio output (assuming the
scanner is AC-powered), or is being picked up by the recorder or cable
between the scanner and the recorder.  The latter is the simplier to fix; trying
moving the cord around and seeing if the cord is picking up noise radiated
from any AC transformer (I'm not familiar with the 8500XLT, so I'm
assuming it has an internal power supply) such as the power supply
for the scanner.  On that same thread, the recorder itself may be picking up
radiated noise from any nearby transformer, so experiment with moving it
around as well.

Or the scanner's audio output amp' could just be powered by a poorly filtered
power supply.  If you have the resources, you can try to power the scanner
off a DC supply (battery, external power supply of sufficient capacity) and see
if that resolves your problem.

Another cause may be a ground loop between the scanner and the recorder
if they're both running off separate AC power supplies.  I'm not going to
pretend to know how to resolve this mode of noise, because I *don't* have
a good understanding of it.

Good luck!  I use a Sony VOX-operated recorder on my old PRO-30 scanner.  The
entire arrangement is powered off their respective wall-wart cube power supplies.
Haven't had any problems yet.

The problem is that if you turn the volume on a Bearcat to max. when
scanning, you can faintly hear the "scanning noise" that the scanner makes
as it scans. I don't know the technical details of this, but I do know that
if you have a sensitive VAS then it will trigger it. You can:

1. Turn the volume on the Bearcat down to a level where the recorder is not
triggered by scanning but can still activate on a received signal;

2. Adjust the sensitivity of the VAS if possible. This is almost the same as
turning down the volume of the scanner.

3. Try the idea of someone else: attenuating the signal. A previous reply to
your question will help you here.

Good luck.

T'was I that mentioned R/S's 1-800 parts number and the $25 CPU.
The toll free number is 1-800-843-7422  or direct  at 1-817-870-5600
The part number for the PRO-2004 CPU is: GRE-0327 or stock number MX-7478.

Hope this helps...regards...Hugh Duff  VA3TO  Toronto

Jim, can you tell me what characteristics your 2004 exhibits when it
"loses its mind"?  My 2004 will scan for about 15-20 minutes then it locks up.
The LCD will be stuck on a particular channel just frozen.  Keypad is dead.
Power cycling doesn't help.  If turn it off, wait 1/2 hour, it's ok again
for another 20 minutes.

Sometimes (1 out of 25) when it locks up the LCD will have all segments and
annunicators lite. My guess is this is a thermal problem but I find it hard
to believe a CPU (a piece of silicon) should have thermal instabilities in
20 minutes.

If it turns out to be the CPU in my case, isn't this a surface mount device?
How does one go about changing it out?

Thanks in advance,

You might be able to get it from the Tandy Service Center 800-442-2425. Ask
for the part number including the dash ("GRE-0327"). If you don't include the
dash, then they won't be able to find it in their computer unless you know the
chip location like IC501 on the 2006.

I just spoke with them today about the 2006 CPU and they didn't know who
made the chip but they were going to try and request a spec sheet on it
for me. If I ever get one, I'll let you know. Unfortunatly the CPUs are
different. The 2006 uses the GRE-0918 which costs $38.32. I tried looking up
the GRE prefix in some IC books I have and I haven't come up with any leads.
The person at Tandy that I spoke to said it was made out of country. I'm
looking for the spec sheet and app notes for it if you here of anything.

tell me if it is possible to just type in a frequency to go directly to
it without having to scan to it. If you dont know what i mean, its like
when your watching tv and you want to go to channel 20, but your on
channel 5, all you have to do is punch in 20, that is what i want to do
on my scanner. If anyone has any info on this plese fill me in!!

The latest version of HamComm (Ver 3.0) has a basic AF Spectrum Analyser
and Oscilliscope for tuning a radio for RTTY, etc, reception.

At present it uses a little external OP amp connected to a serial port
although I'm sure there is mention of it using a sound blaster card?(may
be wrong but open to correction).

Available via FTP from several sites.

I recently purchased a PRO-62 from Radio-Shack.  My main purpose for
buying the scanner was for use at Michigan International Speedway.  It
worked great for that, but I am also enjoying other benefits as well!

What I would like to know is:  Did I buy a GOOD scanner for my money?
                               It was on sale for considerbly less than
                               the normal list price.

If anyone has any information on a scanner that has ALL the frequencies
such as the 200 band and the high bands into the thousands. Right now i
have a bearcat sc150 and it doesnt have the 200 band(for all the
military stuff) or the high bands such as 1000 that the DEA uses. Dont
get me wrong, the bearcat is a really cool scanner, but i want more
intresting frequencies to listen to! but im kinda on a low budget

thanks....

I have had my 2005 since about 1988.  Still no sign of display problems.  I use it
fairly often, but like Bob, usuaully keep it on the dim setting.

Don't worry about it.

 Considering how I've replaced a half dozen of these things(the EL panel),
I don't know how you can say the light is as good as when you bought it.
When I did my 2004,I saw that the light dimmed down after a couple of HOURS!
Needless to say,I did the mod to change it from high\low to high\off.Just like
Radio Shack did on later 2006's.My 2004's light was so dim(about 7 yrs old)you
could not see the dim light IN THE DARK!On high it was at least bright enough
to see what freq it was on,but it wasn't easy.
 The deal is,if you put a newly re-EL paneled 200x and one that had even a few
hours use side by side,you WILL notice the difference!The EL panel was a
mistake to use,in other words,a design flaw,just like the PRO 43's easily
burned out speaker that was originally installed at the factory.These scanner
manufacturers try to get off cheap if they can.Look at the bearcat 2500\8500
disaster for uniden.The marketplace forced them to "enhance "them into the
3000\9000,and for once Uniden did something right!

Based on Brad's and other's experiences, has anyone just left the EL
display as is and tried putting bright LED's in the side edges similar
to what Uniden does? I know they are probably mechanically and optically
different, but I haven't yet burned out my 2006 EL and have been toying
with the LED idea for a while. Any comments?

Recently there sure has been a lot of coverage in the communications
magazines regarding Pager Software and Hardware -- I think Monitor and
Popular Communications have recent articles for Aug 95 and July 95
issues.

I purchased 2 different software packages within the last 4 months and
here are my observations:

Version 1.2 of the KTL Message Tracker software package that hooks up
to the audio port worked the first day on an R1 with lots of error
messages .. from that day on I couldn't get it to work at all on the
ICOM R1, AOR 3000, ICOM 7100 or RS 37. The technician was nice on the
phone and I sent the package back and he returned a new device with a
new diskette. I still haven't been able to get it to work in the last 4
months.

I purchased a device recently from jsoft which hooks directly to the
descriminator inside the ICOM 7100 (between resistors R228 and R230)
with a .47 microfarad capacitor (20Volts or more). The software is easy
to use and it produces error free results .. I am able to see that my
messages are actually being sent. You can filter so that only your
messages are displayed or your groups messages are displayed.

My recommendation is to go with the best -- jsoft. The jsoft package is
actually being used in pager shops .. it must be the best .. better
than units costing $10,000 or more. jsoft sells this unit with software
and hardware for $199.00.

In no way am I affiliated with jsoft. These are my own observations and
recommendations.

jsoft can be reached by email at [e-mail]

Tim:

The phrase "KMA" (each letter pronounced) is a shortened form of the old
Los Angeles County Sheriff's "KMA 628" FCC Call Sign. It is used by some
deputies to signal the end of a radio transmission (i.e. "over" or "go
ahead").

This use has nothing to do with the civilian expression of contempt (Kiss
My....).

Prior to joining the Fire Service, it was my pleasure to serve as a
dispatcher for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department. It remains my
pleasure to continue to work alongside the dedicated men and women of
that agency.

I hope this helps.

This is a polite way for the deputies to tell the dispatcher to
``kiss my ___''.

Actually, KMA is their callsign prefix. I've never understood why
they say just the prefix. I was a fireman down in Orange County -
the entire county communications system at that time was licensed
as KMA752 - that callsign was given every 30 minutes on every city
and county channel by Control One (better known as "Dogpatch" back
in those days).

 While working as a Videographer at KTNV-13 a few years back,I responded
to a bank robbery. While I was getting my cover video,I noticed,off my
scanner,that "Metro" was tracking the suspect with a helo and ground
units. The transmissions consisted of the officers reffering to"hits" and
"Direction of hits". Within 20 minutes the suspect was in custody and the
money was recovered from a dumpster. Well I put 2+2 together and learned
that there was a "RATPAK" transmitter in the money bag. Well I thought
this was a great angle to a rather "routine" story,but the Managing
Editor said we could not report that because a "deal" had been made with
the FBI not to report the use of the transmitters.The reason she gave was
that Las Vegas used to have the highest bank robbery rate in the nation.
Well I think* that policy is B***S**T,but I can argue that on
alt.journalism.
  Does anyone in Las Vegas know the EXACT FREQUENCY for the "RATPAK"s?
I know that L.V.M.P.D. units have an array of three antennas in addition
to the voice and mdt antennas on the roof. I can "read"antennas quite
well,but these baffle me. I dont think these antennas are used for
"lowjack" transmitters since these antennas were in place long before the
"Lowjack" system was placed in use. I could be wrong,maybe they share
frequencys.
  Please don't post where to "search" since I'm only in Las Vegas a few
times a year now,
 and with the low power these things emit the chances of me being near
one or near the next Las Vegas bank robbery,are pretty nil.

  If anyone is wondering just why I want this info...It's because I want
to give up my current TV job and home on the beaches of the Monterey bay
and robb all the banks in Las Vegas...and not get caught. 8-#

Thanks
Mark(Mr.News)Jeannette

P.S. Las Vegas TV stations also WON'T report that Neveda Highway Patrol
officers carry "SPIKE STRIPS" to blow out evading cars in high speed
pursuits. Here in California,the cops fight over the chance to show TV
cameras how effective the "SPIKE STRIPS" are.(go figure)

Todd,

I've go a DX-390 too; it's a nice little rig.  You can recieve CB frequencies
on it without mods.  Look for them between 26.95 and 27.41.  Don't know about
mods for weather or TV audio, but both are so far above SW freqs that I would
imagine you'd have to do a lot of tinkering, in the process invalidating your
warranty and maybe ruining your machine.

Here's a list of scanner frequencies for the Central Florida area.  They're by
frequency; if you want 'em by name, just import 'em into your favorite word
processor and do a sort by the second column (didn't want to use up bandwidth
with two lists...and am lazy to boot).

Most all of these are good.  The only obsolete ones are the 460 MHz Orange Co.
Sheriff freqs. - the sheriff has moved to 860 MHz on a trunked system (also
listed).  Some I don't know what they are (esp. private Common Carrier
freqs.); if anyone can ID those mystery freqs., sure would appreciate the
info.

Happy Scanning!

I have a HF 150 in my coral of radios.  I think it is a good performer.  It is
very small and simple to operate.  If you you an outboard speaker like the
Grove SP 200, it can sound quite nice.  I installed the backlight kit, which
makes the radio usuable in a dark room.  The mail order house said it was
"simple to install"  (NOT).  I would also advise the outboard keypad, which
makes life much easier.  I have found the sync det akward to use.  It requires
very fine tuning.  Others have like the "fidelity" option,  but frankly, I
can't get it to work with a darn.

For day to day listening, I actually like my AOR 3030 better.

Hope this helps,
Mike Kuna

>>Anyone use the new GMRS radio, 210+3 or whatever they call it?  The 10
channel Maxon one?

I use two daily. There are scores of them in field use here in Southern
California. They are excellent units. And I can buy two of them for what
an Icom U-16 sells for.

The Maxon GMRS 210+3 provides 2 Watts with its supplied rechargeable
nicad pack, and 5 Watts when operated with the included 12VDC auto cord.

10 channels (7 interstitials, 462.675, and two programmable channels).

An eight button keypad is used to select channels, program radio features,
and initiate scanning modes. Channel, frequency, and radio status info are
displayed on the unit's illuminated LCD display.

User-programmable options include CTCSS, scan delay time, power save,
channel lockout, and transmit time-out timer.

The "High/Low" power switch & control knobs are conveniently top-mounted.

Included with the unit is a rechargeable nicad pack, rubber duck antenna,
AC/DC charger, vehicle power cord, belt clip, and hand strap. Available
accesories include an external mag mount antenna, base omni-directional
antenna, 3-Watt alkaline battery pack, speaker/mike, mini VOX headset, and
a nylon case. NOTE: This unit WILL use Icom accessories - and Radio Shack
HTX-202/404 accessories!

They list for 299.00. I buy them (small quantities) for 212.00. I sell
them for 239.00 - BUT, $25.00 of that goes to my local REACT Team.
Available at ATTENTION to Details BBS (no shipping charges this month,
either!) at 909-681-6221.

In my notes I have 143.625 and 150 for MIR but for the life of me, I don't
know where those numbers came from of whether they're correct.

On pg. 26 of the July Monitoring Times , Glenn Hauser's article
entitled " Oklahoma City: The Radio Aftermath", states;

  "WWCR's other superpatriot programming such as Tom Valentine
    and the white supremicist William Cooper continued unabated
    primaryly weeknights on 5.065.00 Mhz, but also scatttered at other

    times on other frequencies."

At 04:03 UTC Bill Cooper, on The Hour of the Time program of Wed.
June 28 1995 stated:

   Well, I'm in the process of suing the New York Times and I'll begin
    the process to sue MONITORING TIMES and GLENN HAUSER."

About time someone challenged the far-left pro-homosexual writing of
Hauser et al. MT has long had a "Left" bent, and now the errors of
allowing Hauser to spew his Radio For Peace stlyed attacks has come to
roost.

Mr. Cooper spouts hateful bile by the gallon, but the minute a little acid is
directed his way, he goes ballistic and tries to silence the source through
specious threats of lawsuits.  This demonstrates Mr. Cooper's real commitment
to freedom of speech - a commitment clearly limited to himself and those who
agree with his crackpot views.

Incidentally, Mr. Hauser might consider the implications of homosexuality in
this post as being just as actionable as his crack about Mr. Cooper.

        I'm posting this for a friend of mine who is unable to post

at the moment, but will be able to read any replies.  He would like any

information that is available about the Motorola HT 1000 UHF handheld

transceiver.  Specifically, he is interested in the A-B-C button located

on the top of the radio, and wonders if it could control power output.

Replies can be posted to the group, or mailed to the following address:

        [e-mail]

                                                Thanks,

                                                John

As a Motorola dealer, all i can say to this, is time to get a reality
check.  Very unlikely to happen.

 ND> (b) Motorola rib   (radio interface box)
Can use a aftermarket RIB.


 ND> (c) gp300 programming adaptor
Nothing more than a cable.

Chuckle.  Anyone can buy it.  Anyone.  Depending on the class of
dealer, it is sold to them, not issued.

Motorola has admitted a few problems during production of the early model
VISAR portables.  One correction was to change to a half wave antenna
which greatly improved coverage.  Any Motorola dealer can assist you in
"upgrading" your unit.

To try and eliminate all the repetitive Shuttle transmission requests,
does anyone know of a listing of known re-broadcasts for the launches
and missions?  I am looking for the Chicagoland area, but I figured
if there is a list somewhere, it could save a lot of posting traffic.

Probably because they're using a duplex system consisting of a high-power base
transmitter (dispatcher) on one freq and low-power mobile transmitters in the
cars on another freq.

You're location is going to make a big difference on performance. Ken
mention SF, that's a very RF dense area and takes quite some signal
to be 10-20 dB over the noise floor. If you use a 46" whip and expect to
read UHF, you should lower the antenna more (to about 8"). Better yet,
an antenna like a resonant ducky for the target range is better, since
the tuning will actually help cut down out band signals. The DB32 is probably
a good compromise, but don't expect stellar performance outside it's
2 resonant areas, VHF and UHF. If you're near FM broadcast towers, a
cheap $3 Radio Shack FM trap will knock down the FM band significantly.

The Scout is not a tuned receiver, Opto should have include some basic
switchable band pass filters, nothing fancy, just enough to knock down
some background noise. Folks lucky to live in rural areas have reported
significant success over those who live in big cities. If you do live in
a rural spot and there's a 5 kilowatt pager tower 1/2 mile from you,
you may as well be in the city!

I got my scout last night, and so far the jury is out on it.  I discovered
that a local FM station has a broadcast tower close to my home and it
swamps the Scout with every antenna except the DB31.  I've got an in-line
filter on order from Star Tek, so that should help out greatly.

Even with the DB32, I could pick up my 2.5w 2m HT from 30 yards away.
That is fine for what I want to use the scout for.

Is this bad to be picking up the images? After recent discusion on this, and after
printing out a list of all the freq. I have programmed into my P39, I see
now that I have around 23 that are above 894. Also, when comparing my number
list to that which was posted for the input/output numbers, I hardly have any
with in that range. For example. The output (according to the post the other
day) should start at 870-879 and 880-894. Well, of the 75 or so freq that I have
programed in, NONE fall in between those numbers. IN fact, none fall between
the input side of the freq either. Except for those above 896, all of my
numbers fall between 851 and 868.

Can anybody explain this?

Thanks,
Drew

Hi !

  Please note that a shareware version of my POCSAG decoder is now
available on the net. It's on ftp.demon.co.uk in pub/ham/scanners.
The filename is PD-102.EXE and it's a self-extracting ZIP archive.

  This program allows the decoding of POCSAG transmissions using
an IBM PC or equivalent. An interface circuit is required to convert
the FSK transmissions to RS232 levels. A simple circuit using the
speaker output of a scanner is described, which may be powered from
the COM port.

Do you have any information on GSC format?  I'd like to be able
to encode a GSC string for a Motorola "OPTRX" alphanumeric pager.

Department will continue to simulcast their dispatch group on 154.400 until
completion of their new fire station signaling system.

DOUGLAS COUNTY FIRE:

 The changeover for all of the agencies that are dispatched by the county
is completed.  To our knowledge all Douglas County Fire agencies except
Parker and Louviers ares dispatched by the county on 151.115.

DENVER 800:

 Same old same old.  Intermittent crashes, consoles failing and four
letter verbs over the air about system manager failures.  Time to string
up the equipment manufacturer in my opinion.

TANDY NEWS:

 As if it were not commonly known Tandy Corporation [aka Radio Shack]
had to pull all their 800 MHz scanners that were manufactured by uniden
after the  implementation of the TDDRA in April because of a factory test
mode that included one of the Cellular frequencies announced the PRO-51
should be back in the stores this month.  Tandy also released the PRO-2035
the 1000 channel successor to the PRO-2006.  There have been mixed comments
about the new scanner and complaints about the setup of 10 banks of 100
channels that lead to a lot of unused memory locations in cases where a
bank is dedicated to a trunked radio system which will at the most use
only 20 channels.  Otherwise use for blocks of frequencies works well.
For now anyway rampant word on the street is that Tandy will be trying
to get a 400 channel triple conversion portable out by Christmas.

SEASONAL FREQUENCIES:

 With the rapid approach of the winter season on us adding the highway
maintenance frequencies can be very beneficial while traveling or on
the way to and from work.  The Colorado Department of Transportation
frequencies are of value when traveling the interstate highways.  Here
is a listing of the CDOT frequencies used for the Front Range and Summit
County.  151.070, 151.085 for the Metro Area and I-70 Tunnel approaches.
 151.265 for El Paso County. And 159.045 for Boulder, Larimer and Weld
Counties.  These frequencies are allocated statewide so these will be
active in other areas of the state.  For specific areas look under the
area jurisdiction for which you are interested in with frequencies listed
as street maintenance or city services.

CREDITS:

 Somebody suggested I should do this more often so...  Thanks go to
Randy Lynch for being himself.  Bill Koppleman for spreading the word
on this and the echo on the Rocky Mountain Monitoring Net on 147.225
Sunday evenings at 8 P.M.  Radar Kessler for the encouragement.  Jim
at  Mountain NewsNet for information pertaining to the reorganized Douglas
County Fire communications system and South Metro Fire communciations
system.  Marshall Barry and Bob Whiston for getting the echo mess fixed.
 The people who participate in the echo and who corner me in person.
 And finally you who are reading this and making it worth the effort!

John:

Portland Police & Fire (and other stuff) are on a 20-channel trunked
system. It is usually monitorable, since they aren't (as of this
particularly minute in time) doing any anti-scanner stuff. They do have
several digitally encrypted channels for stuff they don't want you to
listen to, and I'm fairly positive they have Mobile Data Terminals (I
know they do in Vancouver, WA, across the river). They may still be
simulcasting on their old frequencies, all of which were between 460 and
461 MHz; just program in a search bank and see if you hear anything. :-)

Anyway, here are the those frequencies:

856.2625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
856.4625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
856.7375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
857.2625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
857.4375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
857.4625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
857.7375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
858.2625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
858.4375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
858.4625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
858.7125|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
858.7375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
859.2625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
859.4375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
859.4625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
859.7125|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
860.2625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
860.4375|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
860.4625|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF
860.7125|WNVL283|PORTLAND, CITY OF

I am currently in the process of getting together a list of people in the
Portland/Vancouver area to start an ad-hoc "Portland Frequency
Exchange" mailing list. Basically the idea is that people would submit
frequency lists to me, and weekly I'd update everybody else on the list
with the latest (hopefully annotated) frequencies, along with monitoring
tips, etc. Nothing happening right now; I just have a list of 4-5 people
I've seen post that are in/around Portland/Vancouver and need to get
a decent frequency list before I can distribute it. :-)

Some Portland International Airport (PDX) frequencies are:

119.000 Clearance Delivery
121.900 Ground control
118.700 Control tower
133.000 Approach and departure control North
118.100 Approach and departure control South
126.900 Departure control
127.850 Departure control
124.350 Departure control

Seattle Center, the regional ATC site, often uses these frequencies:

119.650 Seattle Center, low alt. East
125.800 Seattle Center, low alt. South
120.900 Seattle Center, low alt. South
124.200 Seattle Center, low alt. West
125.600 Seattle Center, low alt. Northwest
126.600 Seattle Center, low alt. North
134.450 Seattle Center, high alt. East
134.650 Seattle Center, high alt. South/West
125.600 Seattle Center, high alt. Northwest
126.600 Seattle Center, high alt. North

I haven't verified these, but Airport Fire & Maintenance is on 155.025
and 155.955.

I'm interested in maintaining a freq list.  I currently have a very
complete 20+ page frequency list from all the PD, FD, MD, etc..It also
has listings of special events, and airports around here.  It has boat
patrols, and LifeFlight helicoptors too.  I don't have it on disk, but I
have it in paper form.  I may try to scan it into the computer, and send
it to you.

Thanks,
Marc Hopkins

I was unable to obtain a replacement EL panel for the PRO-2004 and
was told that I had to purchase an entire circuit board instead.
If you have any luck getting just an EL panel, please let me know.

Hi Scott I was wondering if you could sent me the mod for the 2006 to
change it to 6400 channels. Also what do you think of the opto-scan 456
for the radio.

I just got a RS Pro-25 to replace the 2 year old BC200 that didn't
complete a car trip while riding on the roof... The 800MHz reception
in my area is MUCH better than from the BC, but I'm not that ecstatic
on paying $270 for 100 channels and less coverage than $220 for 200
channels... Is there anything in the lower $200 range that receives as
well as the Pro-25???

Rob

 Is this a good deal? Can this sold new scanner have cellular

Hi

I have an S-Meter/AGC Detector Board, model CTP-SM1 that I ordered from CTP
(see Page 119 of the May Monitoring Times).  This thing was easy to install with
the included instructions and works like a charm on my Pro2006.  By using a shielded
cable I took the S-Meter connection outside the cabinet and into it's own little box.
This way I avoided any non-reversible warranty-voiding cutting and drilling activity.

Since the S-Meter lives in it's own disconnectable box, it is tempting to install similar
connections in my Pro43 and Pro2032.  That way I can use it on any of the scanners.
Unfortunately the CTP instructions are explicit for the Pro2006, but are lacking for the Pro43/2032.
They say only "You may need a service manual to locate the last I.F. amplifier
stage that feeds the NFM (Narrow FM) detector circuit of the radio.

I have the circuit diagram and board layout for the Pro2032, but it's not too descriptive
about where the last I.F. amplifier stage is located.  Can anyone give me a pointer to which
component I want to connect the CTP-SM1 onto for a Pro2032?

Similarly, the only info I have on the Pro43 is a Bill Cheek posting from 1993.
Is the cathode of D-302 a good place to connect the CTP-SM1 on a Pro43?

Is there a Bill Cheek book that covers all three of these scanners?  After all, at some point
you gotta start paying for that R&D he does so well.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Subject: PRO-43 S-Meter!

Greetings Scanner Fans!

It had to happen!  The fundamentals for an S-Meter exist alive and well in the
PRO-43!  Only a simple circuit and your choice of meter, analog or LED, is
required for a jim-dandy S-Meter function!

The key point in the circuit is the cathode of D-302 located on the bottom
(solder side) of the AF Board (middle board).  You will need the Service
Manual for the PRO-43 to find it as it's not marked and it would take me
10,000 words to guide you to exactly where it is located.  Call Tandy National
Parts at [phone] to order your manual: approx $10.  Now here is the
deal:

Locate D-302 and either build the following circuit right there on the back of
the AF board in the vicinity of D-302, or solder a wire to the cathode of
D-302 and route it to somewhere else more convenient to feed the below
circuit.  This wire ought not to be very long, though, say not more than a
couple of inches. Refer to the ASCII schematic diagram as follows:

                 (-)-----------------------------|

You can also build the 10-segment LED S-Meter as shown in Volume 2 of
my SCANNER MODIFICATION HANDBOOK, available from leading mail order
radio dealers everywhere.  ISBN 0-939780-14-3  published by CRB Research
Books, Inc. Commack, NY.

After connected and working, locate the PRO-43 very near a known strong
transmitter, perhaps a ham transmitter, a police cruiser, your favorite
security guard's handheld or right next to a cordless telephone, or anything
else known to transmit a strong signal.  Tune the scanner to the frequency,
and adjust the 5-k trim pot above so the meter reads exactly full scale.  All
other signals will read proportionally lower to yield "relative signal
strength" measurements!  A hell of a circuit here, boys & girls!  Have fun!

This is a repost of an article which I sent out yesterday.  I was reading
the article, and went to hit "c" to clear out the rest of the messages in
the group.  Unfortunately, my caps-lock key was on, and instead of
clearing the group, trn very obligingly send out a control message to
cancel my post.  Most sites seem to honor these cancellation requests, so
I am re-sending the message.  I apologize to those of you who are
receiving this for the second time.  I'm not usually this clumsy.

Original message follows:

I'm interested in knowing what types of radio systems used for fire and
police communications throughout nation (continent? world?).

I am not looking for specific radio frequencies, rather I am interested
in what frequency bands are used, how many channels are used, whether the
channels are repeater or simplex, etc.

I'm hoping that this list an eventually be added to the FAQ archives for
this group.  Even though it wouldn't contain specific frequencies, it
would be useful to travelers who want to know which ranges will contain
activity.  It will also be interesting to people who just like to know
how things are run outside of the range of their scanner antenna (like
myself).

Here is an example of what I am looking for, using the Phoenix Fire
Department:

Phoenix Fire Department operates 12 non-trunked analog-format VHF-hi
channels.  There is a dedicated dispatch channel, which is used for all
fire and EMS dispatches.  No tactical traffic is handled on the dispatch
channel.  The dispatch channel and all tactical channels are simplex (i.e.
no repeaters).  One dispatcher will often simulcast on several channels
when traffic is light.  Channel assignments are determined by
geographical area, barring any unforseen overloads.

I think that gives a general idea of the type of information I'm
interested in.  For police, the format would be different, but it would
probably be pretty self-explanatory.

For a trunked system, please include information such as number of
channels, and whether or not any trunked channels are simulcast on another
band.  Also, information on on-demand (or continuous, heaven forbid)
encryption would be useful.

I'm planning to put this information into a chart form, something along
the lines of:

City           Dept   Chan    Trunk?   Crypt?   Dedic. Disp?  Simul?
Phoenix, AZ    Fire    12       N        N           Y          Y

Or something like that.

Please reply via e-mail only, as there is no point in cluttering the
group with followup posts.  I'll mail updates to people who indicate that
they are interested, and also post to the net if there is enough demand.

Thanks for your help on this.

If you're thinking about using a patch cord between scanner and recorder...
as far as the microphone input of a tape recorder is concerned,
the audio output level of a scanner [or normal radio, or TV, or whatever]
is so much too loud that the expected result is distortion.  You could
always turn the scanner volume WAY down as compared to normal listening
level, but you still might end up with a recording of distorted audio.

If you're thinking about relying on an internal microphone on a recorder
with voice-operated capability and just placing the recorder at the
scanner's speaker, you might record noises from the vicinity of the
recorder -- such as vehicle traffic, telephone ringing, people talking
in or near the same room, etc.

The best way to record scanner audio is to use a recorder which has a
LINE-level input, and connect to that instead of microphone-level input.
If your recorder does not have a line-level input, you'll have to use the
microphone-level input.  And to help with that, Radio Shack [at least
here in the U.S. -- I don't know about your Canada location] sells a
patch cord with 1/8" [mini-headphone-sized] connectors on each end and
an audio-reducing pad built into it [roughly 50dB].  Using this type of
reducing patch cord, connect one end to the tape or earphone output of
the scanner, and plug the other end into the microphone input jack of the
recorder.  Set the scanner volume to normal level, and you'll record
great-sounding audio.  Good listening!

Just reverse the voltage polarity. And in fact you can make
your scanner into a very power transmitter by applying 120 volts
AC in place of the 12VDC. It'll then alternate being a transmitter
and receiver 60 times per second.

(Warning! This is a joke - don't try this at home boys and girls.)

I hate it when someone, who may really not be that knowledgeable about radios
asks an innocent question, and should get a good answer.

First, why do you want to transmit.  Most folks have a scanner to listen to
police, fire, and other EMERGENCY/PUBLIC SERVICES.  Unless you are authorized,
or have and emergency (as in life or death), just don't do it.  I do have a
public service rig, and it scans, and I have a authorized call sign, but if
its not life or death, I use the autopatch from the local repeater first.

But, there is a solution.  Get yourself a technician class amateur radio license,
there you can sell you scanner and buy a dual band scanning rig that allows you
to transmit on 2M and 70cm ham frequencies.  Thats the easiest method to have
a scanner that transmits.

Oh, no flames allowed.

I remember when scanning used to be a hobby.  Some people could and would
help find transmitters when the need arose.  If you were in danger and
couldn't tell a 911 operator how to find you, you would wish for some
scanner hobbiest to come find you.  Now it would be illegal even if the
scannist had an old radio that would work on the cell phone frequencies.

..  When scanners are outlawed, only outlaws will have scanners

Basically - be careful and don't flaunt it; although the number of Discone
antenna scattered around can't all be amateurs :-)

Some areas of interst are 147MHz - local police (duplex with 142MHz)
                          152MHz - Mobile Police and major incidents
                           70MHz - Fire (I think)
                          450MHz - local police (gain)

If you come soon you might just catch the summer! Rumour has it it's on
Thursday and Friday of this week!

Also try, 165-168 PMR, we have 25 or 12.5 spacing in the UK.

I'm putting up a TV antenna and also want to install a scanner antenna.
What I've got is an all-bander ground-plane antenna.  It occured to me
that there's probably some optimum spacing between the ground plane of
the all-bander (on top) and the TV antenna (on bottom).  See crude ASCII
drawing below

                            |
                            |

                            |
                            |
                            |
                =========================               <- all-band GP
                            #
                            #
                            #                           <- mast
                            #
                            #
        /////////////////////////////////////////       <- TV antenna
        \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
                            #
                            #
                            #
                            #

What should the minimum and optimum distance between the all-band
ground plane and the TV antenna?

I figure about 18" should be enough, but with a six-foot mast and
clearance from the chimney it's mounted to, it's going to be difficult.

I just got the SportCat, and am pretty happy with it so far. But I can't
figure out how to search (not scan) in smaller increments than whats
provided in the built-in bands. i.e. to search from 150-155. Anyone have
any clues on how to do this? Any other tips/info on the SC?

I have one too and I haven't been able to do what you want. A matter
of fact it is a pain in the b... Otherwise a great little scanner.

I picked up a Panasonic RQ-L317 Voice activated recorder for about
$40.00. I have used it on the BC3000 and my PRO-2006. A must though is
the radio shack attenuator cable. It enables you to take a speaker out
and plug into the mike input on the recorder. The recorder is just a
small one like a walkman type player but it also has a speaker in it
for play back. It works real nice and the sound quality is good. The
only draw back is max time per tape is at most 60 minutes with a 120
minute cassette tape. The VOX feature on this unit works great too.The
unit also has speed control that only works on playback though. I wish
it worked on record too for more time but it doesn't.

Bill,
- Drug money is not taxed
- Drug use correlates with higher unemployment and more people on welfare.

So, why do you say that the gummint really doesn't want to win the war on
drugs?

There are many answers to this.  Let me try to rattle off a few:

        1)  It provides a convenient "external enemy", a political
            technique which is tried and true.

        2)  It provides a source of income for the government (via
            civil forfeiture procedures).

        2)  It provides jobs for law enforcement personel.

After doing dozens of net deals, here are some pointers, especailly if your
worried about it:

Send your understanding/deal in writing via Email and with the check.

(IE:  Enclosed find a postal money order in the amount of $.02 for a Icom 781
allmode HF transciver in mint condition with [list accys including the 110'
crankup])  Use the Memo line detailing the purchase too.

Pay via a postal money order (they become the investigating body if you get
ripped off.)  Send your order return reciept.  Get a telephone number and talk
voice.  Here's another idea, see if those checks your creditcard company carry
the same benefits as any other card purchase, mine do.  (Have your Credit Card
compnay backup the purchase.  I don't think this is universal [as they don't
have the same recourse with a non-vendor.])

Get a reciept with model, make and serial number.  Keep it with the seller's
info.  (Heard stories of people claiming sold merch. was stolen after they had
sold it.  Hasn't happen to me tho.)  Have the reciept signed, dated, get get a
spot of blood to be sure.

Anyway, basically involve the post office, since they hate being used to
swindle people and have an exceptional track record.

Make alot of paper to making sure things are clearly spelled out and
documented.  It solidifies a transaction and legal action if need be.

FWIW, never been burned tho....

I've got to add my .02~

I have been moving equipment around for over 20 years and I do it to keep
my own hobby going.  I've always offered a prospective buyer references
to people I'd sold stuff to before.  When I buy stuff I ask for
references too.  Not only do I want to have a good idea of what condition
the thing is in, but does the seller know how to pack it properly to
survive the shipping?  Also if a fellow has a ham call its a pretty good
bet that he's okay.  Yes, there are a few bad apples out there with radio
licenses, but by and large the ham folks are pretty decent people who
won't cheat and lie.....

These have been my findings in over 20 years of hosstrading.......

If anyone knows who makes the Radio Shack (Tandy) Scanner CPU, I would really
like to know. This is for a Pro-2006 with a CPU model GRE-0918. I'm trying to
get some data sheets and App notes for this CPU and nobody, including Tandy
Service Center, knows who makes it. I looked up the GRE prefix in some IC
books and have found no companies that use that prefix.

Any ideas or book references that I should look for would be appreciated.

Thanks,
scott

Care to share what the UK CB frequencies are?  USA are 26.975 to

Yeah, you can buy a CB for $39.99.  It won't however, *scan* the CB
band.

Of course my AOR 8000 scanner will... :-)

I am having trouble finding the wireless mic frequencies of the performers
at a couple recent visits of Broadway musicals in the area.  In searching
the 166-220 Mhz area, I found only the crew and director.  In the past I
have picked up the cast too.  Is there new types of equipment at these big
shows?

This range is smack in the middle of UHF TV channels 68 and 69.
Does anyone know if there are any alternatives to wideband
scanners for picking up these sorts of mics.  For instance,
would a Watchman type TV let you tune these WFM signals?  or would
it only let you get the audio that fell where the TV audio
was supposed to be?  Would they get the signal at all with
no video there?  Might this work with the old analog Watchmen
but not the newer digital tuners with built in 6MHz tuning perhaps?

A related question:  Does anyone still make portable radios that
tune the UHF TV band?  These used to be common, but I haven't
seen any around for a while...

  The new breed of wireless mics can be found from 794.000 to 806.000,
there are 94 channels in this range. also check in the 900mhz band. I use
two 900mhz mics for electronic news gathering in the 954.000 and 947.000
range. theses new  systems are used by the major shows and TV crews more
and more. These systems are frequency agile and offer very little
interference.

Almost all touring Broadway shows are using mics that broadcast in the UHF
channel 64 and 65..and 68 and 69 bands.  Some are in the 950 range.
They are made by Sennheiser, Samson, Beyer, AKG and Sony.

FYI, The california State Police cease to exist in two days. They are
going to become part of the highway patrol. How this is going to affect
thier frequecncies is anyone's guess.

hyperscan, and cell modified/able.  If you have one for sale, please
let me know with specs and asking price.  Also, if interested, I have a
RS Pro-46 3 mos. old with cell restored in exellent condition for sale
or partial trade.  Leave me an offer!!


Happy Scanning......

I understand that a modifcation may be made to the battery packcircuit
card assy (CCA) which will allow the batteries to be cycled to a lower
voltage as well as establishing a lower voltage cutoff before the scanner
turns itself off.

Any truth to this and if so, would someone please tell me how the mod is
done.

One additional question for those users of the longer life battery packs.
Any positive or negative comments or suggestions?

Yes that is true, well almost true. The mod is not made to the battery pack
but inside the radio. There is a small zener diode that mist be shorted
across. I think it is a diode, but it has been a long time since I did the
mod to my radio. Anyway this mod will allow the radio go go all the way down
till the display starts to dim. You can expect about twice the life from the
same nicad pack. I will try to find the mod and email it to you.

Yes there is and here it is:


    Speeding up the scan/search rates for the Uniden BC-200/205 XLT
    You will need a small crystal or ceramic resonator in the 600-800
kHz range.

    1.  Disassemble the unit to access the microprocessor area.
     a. Slide off the battery pack.
     b. Remove the two screws from the rear of the scanner and the
        two screws that hold the battery retaining spring at the
        base.  Then remove the spring.
     c. Carefuly pry the bottom of the rear cover from the scanner
        and remove the cover.
     d. Locate the two small screws at the base of the circuit board
        and remove them.  Gently pull the front panel from the main
        frame at the base and separate them.  If you separate them
        between the two layers.  Remember that for later reassembly;
        the pins will have to be lined up perfectly before you slip
        the sections back together.

    2.  Search around the logic/CPU board (Uniden calls it the "MICOM
        PCB Assembly"), and locate Y-201, which is a little rectangular
        component.  This is the stock 400 kHz resonator.  Your
        replacement can be a bit larger if necessary, but not grossly
        so.

    3.  Carefully desolder and remove Y-201.  Put it in safekeeping
        because you may want it for something else someday.

    4.  Install (solder) your newly procured replacement clock
        resonator, be it a crystal or another ceramic resonator, where
        Y-201 came out.

    5.  Reassemble:  Insert top of the front panel into the slot under
        the volume/squelch control panel.  Carefully noting the alignment
        of the dual in-line connector at the bottom of the board with
        the mating socket, press the front panel firmly into place.  Be
        sure that the holes at the bottom of the circuit board line up
        two screws and tighten them

    6.  Replace the rear cover by inserting the top of the cover into
        the slot under the VOLUME/SQUELCH control panel.  Press cover
        into place.  Insert and tighten the screws.

    7.  Reposition the battery retaining spring (slotted side toward
        notched hole).  Insert the two remaining screws and gently
        tighten them.

    8.  Slide the battery pack into place.  Switch scanner on to
        ensure that the display comes on.  If not, the battery may be
        discharged or the dual in-line connector may have been
        misaligned during reassembly (step 5).  Another possibility
        would be that the new resonator either doesn't work, is
        unsuitable, or may have been incorrectly installed.  Another
        possibility (if you installed something greater than 800 kHz
        is that it's just too fast.

    Assuming that the display comes on, leave the antenna disconnected,
and run a speed test.  Speed in channels-per-second equals the number of
channels divided by the time in seconds.  Using a Murata-Erie 800 kHz

    Note that the channels must have frequencies programmed into them.
"Empty" or 0000.000 MHz channels run faster and throw off the
calculation.

    In addition to the shortened delay time, the user reports that the
panel lamp will "time out".  Doubling the clock frequency halves the
"light on" time.  There is a variable extended delay modification in the
"World Scanner Report", to large to duplicate here.  Also, in Volume 1,
Number 4, Bill Cheek reports that the UC-1147 CPU has the necessary
large chunk of memory on board, so you're stuck with 200 channels.  You
can get the WSR from:

                            COMMtronics Engineering
                            PO Box 262478
                            San Diego, CA  92196

    The Scanner Modification Handbook I and II are available from the
same address.  They're something like $17.95 each + $3 P&H.  The WSR is
$25 per year.

Here's some mods to help remedy the 200XLT's low battery indicator/blank out
feature, courtesy of Bob Parnass:

                   BC200XLT LOW BATTERY FIXES
                     Troy T. Pummill, N6XMV

  Here are two small articles from MT.  I have not tried these
  mods, do so at your own risk (i.e. your milage may vary).

               BC200XLT SHORT BATTERY LIFE SOLVED

  Short abttery life--sometime only an  hour  or  two  between
  charges--seems  to be the only major complaint amoung owners
  of  the  laeading  hand-held  scanner,  the  Uniden  Bearcat
  BC200XLT.   Presumably,  owners  of  similar  sets  like the
  BC100XLT BC205XLT, and Cobra 4030 could have the same  prob-
  lem.  Now that is an ailment of the past.

  It turns out that the batteries were not really at fault;  a
  zener  diode  which determines the voltage at which the low-
  battery indicator would come on was defective in some units,
  causing  the circuit to actuate prematurely.  Replacing that
  idode and changing the value of an associated resistor  pro-
  vides the answer.

                            FREE FIX

  MT contacted Uniden and was assured that they  will  provide
  the  fix  for free, even if the radio is outside of the one-
  year warranty period.  If your Uniden BC200XLT suffers  from
  short  battery life, send the radioo along with a brief note
  describing the ailment, to  Uniden  Customer  Service,  9900
  West Point Drive, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46250.

  As shown in the accompanying diagram,  zener diode D203  and
  resistor  R208  are  the  parts in question.  D203 should be
  about 7 volts and R208 should be 150,000  ohms.   These  are
  miniature  surface-mount  devices  on  double- sided circuit
  board; if your radio is under warranty, attemping  this  fix
  yourself will void that warranty.

                           SHORT CUT

  Mark Machcinski of Wyandotte, Michigan, came  up  with  hisw
  own solution.  He simply soldered a wire bridge across diode
  D203, disabling the low  battery  indicator  entirely.   The
  radio  now  operates  uninterrupted until it blanks out when
  the abttery level drops to about 4.5 volts.

  Yet another suggestions from a Canadian reader would  bridge
  the  original  diode  with  a  6.8K  resistor, defeating the
  premature recharge signal, yet preventing the  battery  from
  too low a discharge.

                            From MT
                       June 1990, page 98
                     Bob's Tip of the Month

           BC200XLT BATTERY LIFE EXTENSION:  Part II

  Every time we run a helpful hint on a popular product, some-
  one  find  an  even more helpful hint!  This one disable the
  low battery cutoff circuit and adds several hours of  opera-
  tion  to  a  single  charge.   Our  lab unit was still going
  strong after seven hours straight!  Uniden will provide  the
  fix  for free, but if you're in a hurry and don't mind void-
  ing your warranty, read on!

  NOTE:  This modification should not be attempted  by  anyone
  unfamilier with small circuit oard components.

  The tools:  You will  need  a  small  Phillips  screwdriver,
  fine-tip soldering iron and solder wicking braid.

  The procedure:  Remove the battery pack, then the two screws
  form  the bottom spring clip.  Carefully pull the rear cover
  off, bottom first.  Remove tjhe two small screws at the base
  of  the  circuit  board.  Pull the front panel away from the
  mainframe, bottom first.

  At the bottom of the remaining board--to  the  left  of  the
  speaker  magnet--are  two  blue electolytic capacitors; just
  above them are two striped components-- one resistor and one
  diode.  Using the soldering iron and braid, carefully remove
  the two components without overheating the board or damaging
  the copper traces.

  When you reassemble the radio, be very carful  to  note  the
  insertion  of  the  front panel into the slot at the base of
  the volume/squelch panel.  Be especially  careful  to  align
  the screw holes perfectly, allowing the two rows of fine pin
  contacts to mate correctly with the socket.  If this is  not
  done correctly (and it probably won't be the first time!) no
  damage will occur, but the scanner display will be blank.

  Recharge your batteries after 6-8 hours of  heavy  use.   If
  the scanner dies, recharge it as soon as possible to prevent
  loss of your memorized frequencies.

Yet another Uniden/Bearcat 200XLT modification, courtesy of Bob Parnass and
other good people:

BC200/205XLT CELLULAR RESTORATION

Note: It is unlawful to monitor cellular telephone conversations. It is
possible to monitor signals from the deleted ranges even without conversion.
Simply add 21.7 MHz to the deleted frequency and enter the higher (image)
frequency. Reception is virtually identical in strength to that which would be
heard on the deleted frequency.

The frequencies deleted at the factory may be restored, but the procedure must
not be attempted by anyone unfamiliar with electronic circuitry. Grove
Enterprises assumes no liability for damage caused by this procedure. The
modification will void your warranty.

TOOLS REQUIRED: Small Phillips screwdriver, small wire cutters.

        1. Slide off the battery pack and remove the antenna from the scanner.

        2. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws from the
back of the scanner, the two screws which hold the battery retaining spring at
the base and the spring itself.

        3. Carefully pry the bottom of the rear cover from the radio and remove
the cover.

        4. Locate the two small screws at the base of the circuit board and
remove them. Gently pull the front panel from the mainframe at the base and
separate them.

        5. Locate the (64 pin quad flatpack) microprocessor IC labelled "UNIDEN
UC-1147" and the 10k ohm (brown-black-orange) leadless resistor positioned
above the letters "DEN" on the IC.

        6. Using miniature wire cutters, cut the resistor body in two without
disturbing anything else near it. If the left solder pad comes loose, it may be
peeled from the board. Brush or blow away any residue. This completes the
restoration.

REASSEMBLY

        7. Insert the top of the front panel into the slot under the
volume/squelch control panel and, noting carefully the alignment of the dual
inline connector at the bottom of the board with the mating socket, press the
front panel firmly into place. Be sure that the holes at the bottom of the
circuit board line up with the holes in the plastic standoffs below them.
Insert the two screws and gently tighten them.

        8. Replace the back cover by inserting the top of the cover into the
slot under the volume/squelch control panel; press the cover into place, insert
and tighten the screws.

        9. Reposition the battery retaining spring (slotted side toward notched
hole), insert the two remaining screws and gently but securely tighten them.

        10. Slide the battery pack into place; switch the scanner on to make
sure the display comes on. If not, the battery is discharged or the dual-inline
connector was misaligned during assembly (see step 7).

Assuming the display comes on, press: MANUAL, 845.0, E; within two seconds, the
frequency 845.000 should appear on the display.

Here's the last of the 200XLT mods I know of...downloaded off of a local BBS
here in Chicago:

Modification for Putting BC-220XLT In AM Reception Mode

I have come up with a crude mod for the BC200xlt scanner to allow AM
reception in the 136 to 174 range. Why would I want AM in this range you
ask? well I attend several Air shows during the year and the Thunderbirds
use 140 mhz area fregs. As we all know the Uniden switches to FM in this
range, causeing very distorted reception (slope detection). Somebody else
may have already thought of this idea (you?) but here goes. Break the AIR
Trace between dual diode D31 and IC1 pin 8. Connect the center of a single
pole - double throw mini switch to the trace leading back to IC1 pin 8.
Connect one of the other poles to the trace leading back to D31. This is the
"Normal" mode(This just restores what you have cut). Now connect the other
pole to the VHI (VHF HI) line at a easy to locate point. This is the "AM"
mode. What will happen now is when AM is selected the VHF and VHF air band
will all be in the AM mode. UHF and others are not affected. When in the
normal mode everything is just like it always was. I have done this mode
over a year ago so it's still a cloudy in my memory. But it works like this:
The microprocessor sends a high to Q7 to select the AIR mode, by routing the
VHI signal around D31 by means of the switch the AM detector is reselected.
Normaly D31 blocks out the VHI signal allowing FM in the VHF HI range. I
hope my explaination of this mod is clear. It does take some delicate
surgery to do. I also hope I haven't duplicated anyone elses idea.

Thanks

I would like to construct a Yagi type beam. Is there a source for the
plans to make one?  Also I would like to cut it for around 150 MHZ.
DOes anyone know the smallest I could make it at this freq.  Boom
length and longest element.  I live in an apartment and want to make
one I can put out on the balcony at might and bring in in the daytime.

Go to the library and get the Amateur Radio Handbook.  They are issued yearly -
any issue will have antenna plans in it.  How small depends on how efficient
you want it to be.  There are 2-meter yagis (144-148 mHz) that are around 2
feet long and wide.
