I just bought a Pro51 on sale this month at Radio Shack.
It's on sale for $219. When I got it home, I found it had a
production date of 11A3! It is an older, modifiable set.
If you're interested in this radio, go to your Radio Shack
and check the production date on the stock they are selling.
Maybe you can luck out like me! It's a great handheld,
hyperscan radio.

At least the batteries are not weird voltage or something.  Are you dealing
with 6 or 24 volts?

DO you have any interest in auto racing?  I've listened to the
drivers in both Indycar and NASCAR during races or practice. You
can really learn a lot about the sport that way.

I'm using Wave at this very moment.  I think it's great.  It does

program (as long as you don't figure buying a Windoze box into the price).

Hi, scanner newbie here.

I just bought a Bearcat BC60XLT (perhaps too hastily). I was looking at the
Radio Shack line (I think PRO 46) but someone over the 'net advised me
that the RS scanners had severe imaging problems in the 160-165 MHz range,
what I'm most interested in. He said the Bearcat models didn't have this
problem. He said he was most disappointed with his PRO 46.

Not wanting to waste money, I went out and bought a BC60. Now I look in
this newsgroup and it looks like I may have made the wrong choice, based on
Uniden's reputation among hobbyists.

Someone please tell me I haven't wasted $300!!! If so, what problems will I
encounter?

I'm new to this newsgroup and would appreciate very much if you could e-mail
me directly. Or post to this group; I'll try to 'lurk' here for a while.

THANKS!!

P.S. Any problems taking these things through airport security? I don't want
to put it through the X-ray machine in my baggage but a security guard might
think it's a remote bomb trigger if it's out!

Thanks for giving us the real story on this.  The news articles failed to

will make it easier for them (the news media) to write articles about
"evil scanner listeners" in the future.  Mr. Gass was obviously not an
ordinary scanner hobbyist, nor was he a scanner hobbyist with 800 MHz
radios illegaly modified for recieve only, as the news article made him
out to be.  I can see no reason why the news media neglected to mention
the fact that he was using these radios to jam the communications system,
but I guess it wouldn't have been quite as unflattering to the legitimate
scanning hobby.

The EBS tone is 853+960 Hz for not less than 20 and not more than 25
seconds (47 CFR 73.940).

    I have a Bearcat 2500XLT for sale.  I bought it a little over a year
ago and never really had much time to use it. It is new condition. Not
having much time for it, I packed back up in its box. I have the original
box, manual, a leather harness, earpiece, beltstrap, car adaptor, and an
extra antenna also (I have the original also, of course). It has been
modified to recieve th cellular band. This radio is very fast and easy to
use. My price is $300. The serial number for this unit is 35004074. I
hope to hear from you soon.  Reply via email.

Try Communications Specialists. They make PL and DPL encoders and decoders
as well as paging encoders and decoders.  It seems that most any land

For those that haven't heard, RS has further reduced the price on the
2006 to $359 CDN and the Pro 43 is on sale for $329 CDN.  Great deal
for Canadians, awesome deal for Americans close to the Cdn border.
This may be your last chance to pick up one of these models since
these are clearance prices and RS does not give rainchecks.  I think
once these units go RS does not plan to restock them.

Cheers!

With such a device, you could get a voicemail pager number and use touchtones
to control just about any sort of device remotely, from any phone.

I'm pretty sure these Bearcat units deliver a lot of interference.  The
triple conversion in the PRO 43 weeds all(most) of this out.  I don't
think the Bearcat has triple conversion but I could be wrong.   I  also
think that this Bearcat (from the mid to late eighties) would be cheaper
than the 43.  I think the 43 is from the early nineties.   Somebody
correct me if i'm wrong.

I use an RS discone modified with a vertical element(a DIAMOND discone
comes with the vertical element)  and a RS tv signal amp.  It works great
on my 2006 but it works like crap on my pro 43.   Supposedly the amplified
signal is can be too strong for the 43 and the scanner filters out strong
signals as interference.    It's worth a shot in any case since you can
return the RS stuff.  I've heard that an unamplified discone is nothing to
rave about comapared to regular metal antenna.  The metal multiband
antennas (the one with a centerload at RS) work great on handheld
receivers (they blow all rubber duckys away) and cost around 8 bucks.  I
would guess that all things being equal that an unamped discone wouldn't
be much better than the centerload metal ant.  BUT, since you're in a
basement and risk being cut off by concrete,  any antenna in a remote
location (like the roof) would benefit.  HTH

I have an old SBE Optiscan programmable scanner.
I'm sure 98% of you never heard of it.
For that other 2%, is it worth anything?
Is it a collectable?
Thanks.

You are going to have that radio for a long time. Just because you paid
in excess of $500, does not mean that the radio is worth it. It is a VERY
poor receiver/scanner. The only reason that I want it is for the small
size. When I can't have a real scanner with me, it is better than nothing!

My last offer is $200.00.

Don't you get tired of advertising that radio every week? If it was worth
what you are asking, you would have sold it by now!

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

Also, does anybody have any experience with the Bearcat 9000XLT? Any mods
available, especially to restore 800 coverage?

Thanks.

If it *is* worth anything, then I screwed myself.

If you guys are talking about PD-102.exe, you can get it from ftp.demon.co.uk
anonymous log-in
the directory is ham/scanners.
In 2 steps that would be...cd ham then cd scanners.
The program is called pd-102.exe.
This includes a shareware version of the program and the schematic..very
simple!
I've tried this myself..while it's not quite the equal of a expensive
decoder, particularly on weak signals, it DOES WORK.
The interface cost me $0.00 to build, as I had all of the parts handy.
If you have to buy everything, it will cost you about $10.00 to $15.00.
The included S/W times out in 5 minutes(just rerun it to continue), and
the save to disk function is not available.
Even so...try this out...you will at least be able to play with it, for
almost no cost.
The full-featured version of the S/W is 20.00 pounds(UK), so the US price
will be around $30.00 or so.
I am considering ordering it.

Has anyone attempted to decode pager signals?  I know that there is
a box that you can get for about $400 that does it, but has anyone
worked out a cheaper home brew method? Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, does anyone have a list of common pager frequencies?

Once when I had just gotten my first scanner, a university security
guard radioed the city police with my plate number saying that I had
run over a sign.  I hadn't, but I did get a kick out of how ticked off
the police got when my address came back as a post office box.  They
never bothered looking it up in the phone book either...

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

Comm Spec's in CA makes a two-tone decoder board that you can set to either
give a mom. pulse or latch upon decoding the proper tones. The only downside
to their unit it that it has a wide paging window and could be activated by pages
other than yours if they are close in tones.

Our company also manufacturers a two-tone and DTMF decoder on one board.
It has adjustable bandwidth and has a programmable processor on board so
you can program it to latch, pulse, time, interlock, etc. on any of its eight outputs.

It can look for up to 10 different two-tone or single tone pages, each can have
completely different tones and timimg. In the DTMF area it can decode up to
20 DTMF codes, and can use "wildcards" to look for groups, subgroups, etc.

It also encodes both tones and DTMF codes.

Contact me if you would like further information.

My local pawn shop has a BC200 forsale.
What is a good price ? I don't really need another
scanner, but was wondering if I should snatch this
one and resell. I think their asking $130 could
probably get ~$110.

Please let me know. Thanks.

The 43 is triple conversion. The 200xlt is dual conversion. The pro-43
also has the military aircraft band.

The pro-43 is considered one of the best handheld scanners ever made.
Comparing a 200xlt to a pro-43 is not a fair comparison.

I use an A/S (antenna specialist) all band. You can mount it to the stink
pipe on your roof if you can get up there. RS makes a mount for this. I
really like the AS antennas, and find them to be better performers than
anything RS has to offer.

The dairy queen in Cedar Rapids is using some new burger
dispatch radios, they talk on 903.25 and base is on
920.250, very weak. Hard to hear 1 block away, but thats
how close the DQ is to here. They abandoned 457.575 and
went to this. Maybe the radios wore out, or too much interference
on 154.6 which was the uplink on the old ones.
The units are boxes with internal antennas.

Ito is a crude fool, I'll give you that, but it's his scanner and he
obviously has a price that he wants to get for it. Your $200 offer falls
short of what he wants, it's as simple as that. As for his trying to sell
it week in, week out, what's it to you? It's certainly harmless. All you
have to do is ignore Ito's post and let Ito be jerk that you think he is
(and he does seem to be one).

PSP is still on their VHF split simplex system...Base to Mobile and Tacs on
154.xxx and Mobile to Base on 158.xxx.  From my understanding here in the
western end of the state they will be there for years to come.  They hve only
a few of these pairs and you can hear other counties esp. this time of the
year (god I'm sick of hearing Washington County!)  As a side note...most of
their unmarked cars out here have look alike 800 mhz antennas on the right
front trunk lip....that along with the standard PA tags means that inless you
look for those things (like some of us) you will never see the trooper coming.
 But the antennas are VHF...there is no known 800 here yet.  Hope this helps.

I think that the concern regards those who would wish to gather up
material developed by others and use it for their own gain or credit.
For instance, I remember Bob Parnass once posting an extensive
frequency guide to an airport in Chicago, including not just
frequencies, but notes on use--and all in a very organized form.
Bob's copyright notice should give pause to the person who may be
tempted to swipe the entire list  and pass it as his own, in a frequency
guide to that airport or airports in general.  It is not that the printing
rights to the individual frequencies belong to Bob, but his unique
arrangement, with useful tagging, and notes on use--these belong to him,
and should.  He is the kind of guy who has a lot to share.  His copyriting
of Usenet posts protects him from his own generosity.  He probably puts
the copyright notice on all he writes because he tends to give so much to
other enthusiasts, many of whom he has gotten started by example and with
useful information.

Quoting of portions of copyrighted material is acceptable under something
that I think is called "fair use."  Someone else might be able to comment
more on what that is.

last i checked, the motorcycle extender channel is still 154.905.  this
from passing several of the units on the side of a road during routine
traffic stops.  my ham rig read full strength on the extender channel,
with no other units in the immediate area.  stubby vhf antennas do
exist, and are typically half the size of their full length rubber vhf
counterparts.

uhhh, i think you're a little late ken.  the garlic festival was last

however, just for reference, SPRR uses 161.550 for the main road channel

A local store has been advertising a BC-550 for $100.00.
I have never seen it advertised any place else and the add
tells very little.  Seems it is 50 channels, turbo scan but
from the pix shown there is no key pad.
Anyone know if this is worth the $100.00?
It looks like it had pre-programmed police, fire, etc freqs
and with "turbo scan/search" might it be ok for just "searching"
for new freqs??

thanks

It should have more value than an old crystal scanner, but there are not that many scanner "collectors".
Although I don't consider myself a collector of old scanners (I have 3 or 4 old ones), I'd be willing
to pay about $35 for it.  It might be worth more to someone who has benn looking for one.  Bob Parnass
could probably give you a better price estimate.

My Chat With the White House

By Glen L. Roberts

August 12, 1994

WH: This is April.

FD: Yes, I was calling to see I could get the title of Wendy Smith.

WH: Can I ask who I am talking to?

FD: I am Glen Roberts with the Full Disclosure News Service.

WH: And I'm just curious what are you look for her title for?

FD: I'd also like to get a phone number where I can reach her at.

WH: I'm not certain that Wendy generally talks to the press. I'm just curious
what, for what reason you want to get in touch with her.

FD: I wanted to

WH: I can help you get in touch with her if you want me to.

FD: I wanted to talk to her about some phone calls from Air Force One.

WH: Ok, is there a reason you want to talk to her?

FD: Because --

WH: It's odd, we don't usually get press requests for her, that's all.

FD: Ok, basically she was making phone calls from Air Force One today and
they were being monitored by average citizens out there and we wanted to get
her comments on, the use of radio telephones from Air Force One and the
public listening in.

WH: Ok, and you're from Full Disclosure News Service?

FD: Right.

WH: Is that a publication?

FD: We have a magazine and a radio show.

WH: And, are you in Milwaukee?

FD: No, I am in the Chicago area.

WH: And you were listening to the call?

FD: I have information that she placed calls from Air Force One that were
being monitored by the public.

WH: Like a ham radio or something?

FD: Like a police scanner, like something you buy at Radio Shack for $99

WH: Ok. Ok, and you want to talk to her about the substance of the call or
you want to talk to her about the

FD: The publicness of the calls and whether she is aware the calls are
monitorable by any of the 12 million people in the U.S. with police scanners
and things of that nature.

WH: Ok.

FD: Also, I was interested in what her title was because I just had a name
and didn't know what her position was.

WH: Yeah. Um. What was your name?

FD: Glen Roberts

WH: And your phone number?

FD: [phone]

WH: Ok. Ok and what would you just. What was the conversation you overhead
just for my information.

FD: My information is she placed a phone call or two from Air Force One that
was broadcast for anyone who wanted to listen in on it.

WH: Ok, and you don't what the substance of the call was or who they to.

FD: I have some notes on that, but I would like to talk to her about it.

WH: Ok, well, I'm trying to help you out, but I am just. I'd like to know
what I'm. What's she's gonna have to respond to before I, you know, get in
touch with her. I'm sure she's interested.

FD: Well you can pass on it and she can call me back or not. Um, you know,
but we like to talk to people and get their views on it and not have somebody
telling people what to say.

WH: Ok, I'm not doing that at all.

FD: I don't want somebody to prepare a speech or a --

WH: No. No, I was not even insinuating that. I'm sure she would be interested
in who she was talking to, when she talked to you. I was obviously a private
phone call so, I don't want her to be totally caught off guard. You know what
I mean?

FD: That's really the point of my call. Is it really a private phone call.
Are the phones on that plane presented to the users of them as being private
phone calls or are they being presented as gee there are 12 million people
with police scanners that can tune in.

WH: Right.

FD: Because additionally, New York Mayor Giuliani made calls from Air Force
One today.

WH: Um hmm.

FD: I'm not sure if you can put me in contact with him or if I should go

WH: Yeah, if you want to talk to him, you should probably talk to his office.

FD: Right.

WH: Ok, well, I will do my best to get in touch with her. She's obviously on
the road right now. Our communication to that site is somewhat limited,
because of the, because the trip was obviously not planned. The decision to
go wasn't finalized until last night. Our communication was not up to what it
normally is for a trip.

FD: And your name is?

WH: My name is April.

FD: Can you give me the direct number there?

WH: Sure, it's 456-2580. Ok, if you don't hear from me, you can call back.
But, I will try and get in touch with them. Like I said we don't have phones
set up like we normally do on the road. But, I will do my best to reach them.

You got it!
My QRZ! CDROM from Walnut Creek has extensive USENET articles quoted.
Looking at it from the other end - since I don't write for anyone for profit, it is satisfying
to think my words will be imortalized on a CDROM (or at least for 3 months when the
CDROM  update is released)!  :-)

If you have cards, especially unused ones it might be, if it works.

Probably. It might be worth more as a collectable than as a day in day
out scanner.

As I remember it was a pretty good scanner. One of the first, if not the
first "programmable" ones.

Hmmm... the frequencies you mention are Part 15 frequencies; i.e.,
no license required.  The permitted signal strength is much lower
than with Part 90 gear, but that's better suited to the application.

I'm glad my 900MHz phone isn't conventional FM.. ;-)

A couple of clarifications:

        First:  There is no law regarding the sale of unblocked scanners
        in the US.  The only restrictions are on importation.  So it may
        be possible to find unblocked scanners for sale to the general
        public in the US (even the AR8000).

        Second:  According to information posted to this group, there is
        no physical difference between blocked and unblocked AR8000
        scanners.  The only difference is in how they are programmed.
        Which is to say, that if you buy a blocked AR8000, you can,
        with a proper interface and the proper software, unblock it.

Two points can be made about everyone who  posts articles to
usenet newsgroups:

1. They all do so voluntarily.

2. They all should know that none of their copyright limitations
have any chance of being acknowledged to stop distribution to
any particular location, group, etc.

It's kind of like a band playing in the park and saying they don't
want anyone with green eyes to listen.  Neither sound ways nor the
distribution of news repects any such limitations.

Additionally, it has been known for several years that CD-Rom,s of
netnews are/have been produced, so one could simply state that
those CD-Roms are just another extension of the distribution
of netnews.  The fact that someone makes a buck selling the CD-ROM
isn't that critical because today vast numbers of profits are being
made by companies selling access to the internet (prodogy, compuserve, etc.)
and part of what they offer for the money we pay is access to newsgroups.

Anyway, so far I've never seen any actual "case-law" that upheld
the right of any newsropu poster to force others to honor any
aspect of a distribution copyright limitation.

Now none of what I've said covers using another's post as one's own
in a book, etc.  Even the CD-ROM anthologies of usenet groups
all retain the attribution of the original writer as the "FROM"
originator.

I saw the same factoid on CNN, and it just seems incredible that anyone
would publish it.  The whole point of having a code name in the first
place
is so that anyone listening in wouldn't know what was being discussed.
Now that the whole world knows the "secret," they will have to assign her
a new code name.  Whoever was smart enough to crack the code would have
been wiser to have kept it to him/herself.  These kind of leaks are what
prompt
authorities to go to digital encryption making it virtually impossible to
intercept
anything but noise.

        Gee, I always thought they used crypto gear to protect the
traffic from hostile intelligence services...


        Quite a few of the USSS/WHCA callwords have been in use for
decades.  CROWN & CARPET are two examples.   I have a _Life_ magazine
article about an Air Force One flight --WITH JFK ABOARD-- that mentions
CARPET & CROWN, as well as mentions who uses those callwords...

      Several public-distribution official US gov't publications have
also 'compromised' some of the voice callwords used by First Family members.

I can't believe that the boneheads in Ft. Worth would be foolish enough
to discontinue production of these, especially the 2006.  Canada does NOT
have a ridiculous, restrictive ECPA to contend with, and I would imagine
full 800Mhz scanners are quite popular there.  Not to mention the fact
that Americans might be interested in purchasing fully-capable scanners
north of the border...especially considering the proximity of the large
Canadian cities to the U.S. border (Vancouver, Winnipeg, Windsor,
Montreal, etc.)

I'm the manager of a local Radio Shack.  Many customers need a good list
of
the best freq's for San Diego County.  Freq's like San Diego PD, National
City PD, Chula Vista PD (ALL the new Trunking systems).  I know we sell
the Police Call books but there are so many freq's in there it scares the
new users.  If you already have a great list of freq's E-mail me at
[e-mail] so I can give you my fax number.
Many people that are interested in scanning will be very happy to start
off with your best freq's.

Also Radio Shack is expaning in San Diego and all across the nation if
you are good with people (just sitting of the computer all day and listen
to your scanner is not the meaning of good with people) great in sales,
and looking to be a member of the largest retailer of eletronics in the
WORLD E-mail me at the address above if you live in San Diego area.  If
you don't live in San Diego contact your local District Office.  To find
the nearest store call 1-800-THE-SHACK We need only really good people to
move in to management positions after proving themselves on the sales
floor as a great leader.  Sales experience is helpful, but experience in
computers, communications, and audio/video is more important.

  The software will basically sit and decode all messages sent on the
frequency. With the registered version you can nominate certain pager
ID's (up to 100) and these messages will be logged to disk.

Mike: I replied to your email but Demon's mail machine was unable
to forward it to "dino.eng.monash.edu". Is that the correct address

Hello All!

Industry Canada has just announced a revision to the standard RSS-209,
adding 15 new frequency pairs.

The new frequencies (MHz) are:

     43.72 43.74 43.82 43.84 43.92 43.96

     44.12 44.16 44.18 44.20 44.32 44.36

     44.40 44.46 44.48

     48.76 48.84 48.86 48.92 49.02 49.08

     49.10 49.16 49.20 49.24 49.28 49.36

     49.40 49.46 49.50

This is meant to "synchronize" with a similar FCC (U.S.A.) ruling.

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

Does anyone know if scanners are forbidden from Theme Parks?

I would like to carry a HH scanner while enjoying either Great Adventure
(NJ) and/or Hersey Park (PA).

Anyone know what are their policies on bringing in HH devices?

Thanks in advance,

Well DCS, I haven't noticed any change in frequencies here in central PA
. I am ( and have been for several years ) using 155.505 , 158.580 ,
155.575 , 155.850 , and one or two others that don't come to mind right
now . Did someone say "Washington County"?  Ah....  My home ! How I miss
listening to the scanner in Washington , Greene and Fayette Counties !

Are you
in Albany or Troy or Colonie or......?

For starters try:

155.340 / 155.400 - to hear ambulances calling in to hospitals
155.145 Town of Guilderland EMS
154.115 University at Albany (SUNY) Ambulance (aka 5 Quad)
453.550 Troy Fire Department
856.2125 / 856.4375 / 860.2125 - City of Albany Fire & Police
(these are the most active freqs in a big trunked system)

hope that helps.....

I'm in the process of reading an interesting book called "NETLAW"
(Lance Rose, ISBN 0-07-882077-4).  The author, a fairly respected
lawyer who specializes in hi-tech, gets into the topic of e-mail
messages and USENET posts.  He concludes that both are "literary
works," and are subject to full protection under copyright law.

See the book for more details.

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

Turn scanner off

Press "MANUAL", "2" and "9" buttons and while continuing to hold all three
buttons down, turn the scanner on.

This wipes out ALL channels.

A few of the best things I have ever heard with my scanner are...
1. Probably the best, this was a few years back when the University of
Michigan was getting together the Fab Five.  But, before anyone signed,
everyone wanted to know where Jalen Rose and Chris Webber were signing
with.  I had just gotten the cell mod for my scanner,, and started
searching through the cell bands....Just then I heard Steve Fisher
talking to Jalen Rose BEFORE they (Chris and Jalen) made their
announcement to go to U of M.  So I, and my freinds knew that Chris and
Jalen were signing with U of M before anyone else did (besides Chris and
Jalen themselves of course =;-)  It killed me that I couldn't call the TV
stations and tell them what I just heard.... But now that they are both
in the pros and this was a long time ago I figured this would be ok to
tell, being that now everyone knows that Chris and Jalen went to U of M,
so it's no big secret.

2.  Listening to the detectives in my area drive around finding bad
guys....ie people who have broken into cars, or are acting strangely.
They use code words for the streets and it took me about 6 months to
figure out what all the words were..... Now I know exactly where they
are, it's pretty cool, but I NEVER try to follow them or interfere.

3.  Listening to the ambulance Co. (I'm also a Paramedic)  I enjoy
hearing what kind of stupid calls they go on.  The worst being the call
for Fire to go to the house of some lady who fell out of bed and needed
help getting back into bed.  Now don't get me wrong, the lady needed
help, and we provide the service, but this does get a bit tedious after
awhile.

I guess that's about it.  I am still learning about scanning.

Only the CHP cars have an extender that retransmits the 42 MHz traffic on
154.905 (?) but the motorcycles do not have this ability. The headsets
simply plug into the 'cycle radio. A couple of motor officers built a
prototype extender for the 'cycles but the project was swallowed up by
the comm department and died due to NIH Syndrome. (Not Invented Here).

The thing I would recommend is to go to K40 Electronics on 14 mile just
East of Van Dyke and ask them for their local freq list.  I bought one
and it covers all that area plus a few DEA and other interesting Freq and
I think it is only a couple of bucks.

Propably because he wasnt. The case dealt with his use of Motorolla
software, not any illegal transmissions.  Many years ago a junked radio in
his shop keyed into the system, and while it raised some eyebrows, no
legal action was taken after the problem was rectified.  The incident was
dismissed as an accident and is *NOT* related to the recent court case, as
a previous poster mistakenly implied.

If you want to see some of the most avid scanner listeners, visit the
dispatch desk of any legitimate radio, TV or newspaper operation,  _then_
draw your conclusions.

                    ONE TECHNIQUE TO PROGRAM/MONITOR CHICAGO PD ON YOUR
SCANNER

     The City of Chicago is divided into 25 police districts. Primary
dispatch frequencies are shared by two, usually adjacent, Police
Districts. The exception to this is Police District 3 which has a dispatch
frequency all to itself. Each primary dispatch frequency is called a Radio
"Zone" and are numbered 1 through 13. The first two numbers of a given
unit designator tells which district the unit is in. For example, "Unit
2514" would be a unit of District 25.
     There are also frequencies which virtually all mobile units have the
capability to monitor. These are called "Citywide" channels and, hearing a
transmission beginning with "Units on Citywide.........", makes the Police
listener's aware that the immediately forthcoming radio traffic is
important and intended for all units to hear.
     One scanning/programming method which some scannists may find
simplify matters a bit and avoid the scanner from stopping on an active
frequency which contains "uninteresting" radio traffic ("down time" should
there happen to be interesting radio traffic on another frequency at the
same time.) is as follows:
     If your scanner contains at least 20 channels, program channels 1
through 13 with the corresponding Radio Zone numbers. Channel 1 would be
programmed with the frequency of Zone 1, Channel 2 with Zone 2, etc.
     Channels 14 through 20 would be programmed with the Citywide
frequencies. Then lockout channels 1 through 13. If your scanner contains
more than 20 channels within its first bank you might wish to lockout
channels numbered above 20 that are within the same bank.  Having done so,
when scanning this bank, you are only checking and stopping on active
citywide frequencies. Should you hear something like "Units on Citywide,
report of shots fired, man down, at (whatever address or intersection),
this is the 5th District, ZONE 9 RADIO." If you wish to hear the radio
traffic of the responding units you would only have to manually go
directly to channel 9 and just listen there until you've heard what you
want to know.
     One could, of course, modify this to suit your personal preferences.
You may wish to program additional frequencies in channel numbers above
channel 20 within the same bank, if applicable. If you want to keep track
of all activity, all the time, within a particular District, you might
want to "unlock" the channel containing the Zone number for the District
of interest. If your scanner has a selectable priority function, you could
still leave the channel "locked out" and just make the channel number of
importance a "priority" channel and then engage the priority function.

    Chicago Police Department/Primary Frequencies (Repeater Output)

    1.  460.475     Zone  1  (Districts 16 and 17)
    2.  460.050     Zone  2  (Districts 19 and 23)
    3.  460.225     Zone  3  (Districts 13 and 14)
    4.  460.150     Zone  4  (Districts  1  and 18)
    5.  460.500     Zone  5  (Districts  2  and 21)
    6.  460.400     Zone  6  (Districts  7  and  8 )
    7.  460.075     Zone  7  (District    3  alone  )
    8.  460.200     Zone  8  (Districts  4  and  6 )
    9.  460.025     Zone  9  (Districts  5  and 22)
  10.  460.100     Zone 10 (Districts 10 and 11)
  11.  460.375     Zone 11 (Districts  20 and 24)
  12.  460.425     Zone 12 (Districts  15 and 25)
  13.  460.450     Zone 13 (Districts   9  and 12)
  14.  460.125     Citywide  1  (Traffic/Gangs)
  15.  460.175     Citywide  2  (Detectives/Tactical)
  16.  460.275     Citywide  3  (Emergency Messages)
  17.  460.325     Citywide  4  (Youth/Evidence Technicians)
  18.  460.350     Citywide  5  (Special Events)
  19.  460.250     Citywide  6  (Unspecified Citywide)
  20.  460.300     Citywide  7  (Command/Phone Patch)

  The Chicago Police Department reportedly utilizes additional frequencies
which may include:
  154.650, 154.740, 154.800, 154.830, 155.850, 155.970, 156.000, 158.730,
158.850, 158.880, 159.030,
  856.9375, 857.9375, 858.9375, 859.9375, 860.9375.(the last five
frequencies may be "trunked".)
       Should you have an unused channel in your scanner, don't overlook
the frequency 155.475 which in
  Illinois is called I.S.P.E.R.N. (IL State Police Emergency Radio
Network). Virtually all law
  enforcement vehicles in the U.S. are equipped to operate on this
frequency. On this frequency
  one will  hear such things as car chases, reports of crimes having
recently occurred, suspect and/or vehicle info, etc.
     While the primary frequencies of PD Chicago may be fairly well known
to long time or avid scannists of the Chicagoland area, perhaps there may
be some who will find this programming/scanning style of use.
     If anyone has any corrections, additions, suggestions or would be
interested in exchanging frequencies, comparing notes or discussing any
scanning related topics, please feel free to contact me at my E-mail
address which is [e-mail]

I hope this will be of some use or benefit to those who enjoy monitoring
PD Chicago.

Be aware that the warrenty on your scanner bought in Canada *may* not be

Call CTP at 1-800-660-1118. The are making an add on tone board for
scanners.

The #90 tone codeed squelch board assures unit group segregation for
systems sharing radio frequencies in close proximity of each other,
decodes the standard 39 CTCSS tones....

Thats what their press release says anyway. They also make a DS49
de-scramble inversion voice scrambling and an add on S-Meter.

It seems to me that the display on the PRO 2005/6 scanners can best be
described as "unfortunate".  It has terrible contrast, what were they
thinking when they chose a blue EL element?

Just to waste time, I removed the EL element and put a piece of oaktag
stock cardboard in its place.  The results weren't completely
disappointing, as I could more easily read the display from across the
room.  It got me to thinking that it may be possible to improve the
display through back-lighting, or even edge-lighting, if the right
materials could be found.

Any thoughts on a source for materials?  The key seems to be in
finding a thin piece of transluscent material, similar to that used in
the backlit displays commonly used in auto stereos, or even the
BC200XLT scanner.  My junk box doesn't have much in the way of digital
display materials.

Thanks for your time.

I just bought a practically new Pro-62 for $150, found it in rec.radio.swap.
Works great, had it in two days (Fed-x 2 day cod) and shipping coast to

Police Call is a good start, and I still use it, but by far the best source for
So. Cal. freqs (incl. a good section on SDC) is called Scan Fan.  You can get
a copy at Ham Radio Outlet at Clairemont Mesa and 163.  I have no connection
with either company other than as a satisfied user.

You might also refer your customers to the Radio Sport BBS at 279-3921.

Why would you need convincing?????  Just listen to the band on FM and if you can make out what is being said

the 900 freqs you found are uplink/downlink frequencies to/from the
mountain peak transmitters/receivers and dispatch centers.  they're very
low power and you can pretty much only hear the traffic on them if
you're in the direct path of the link.  if you're in the path, though,
tune in!  the downlinks from the mountains that are transmitting back
the mobile unit traffic sure beat the hell out of trying to pick out the
mobiles from throughout the valley!

I worked at Six Flags Magic Mountain for several years and it
never came up.  If there is a policy it is likely to be like that for
any other personal property; If you lose it on a ride, too bad.
The radio I used (and all others I knew of for the park, admin. might
have had different though) was in the 15x.xxx MHz band.  That was at least
4 years ago though.  Frequencies might have changed but I really
don't think any policies have.
Enjoy, you could hear some great stuff.

This web page has a bunch of scanner images, but I'm not sure you can download them.  If you send an e-mail
Jonathan would probably give you access to them.

I'm not sure where you are but go to a plastics place.  In California they have TAP Plastics.
They have a huge range of materials.  For a few bucks you could probably find something that
would work.  A clear piece of plexiglass with a bright background added, and some edge
lighting might work well.

  Correct.  Licensed.  But almost lost due to lack of construction.  DO
NOT look at the PASP going over to a Statewide trunk or 800 Mhz system
too soon.  This was brought out and discussed at the NatScan Convention

I have just updated and upgraded my scanner-related website.  The major
addition is that of a shoppers' guide to shortwave receivers, similar to
the one on scanner models that I did last month.  Also, a couple of new
scanner models have been added to the guide.

Please stop by.  If you have information on any radio model not included
in my guides (shortwave receivers and scanners only - no ham gear),
please use one of the email links embedded in the various pages.

The URL is http://home.eznet.net/~dstark/

My site also includes downloadable .WAV files of various types of
scanner communications, a list of amateur scanner nets outside NYC, and
periodic regional system updates.

just wondering if the rapid charging has a negative effect on the life of
ni-cads?  how long do the normal chargers from everyready take?

also, how much longer do the heavy duty batteries from radio shack last?
do they last longer than everready's?  should i get those instead of
evereadys?

i use the batteries on camera gear/flash, and a scanner.

please reply by email as i dont access the other group.s

nice steal steve.  i also got a good deal on one:  it should arrive
friday-saturday.  total is $180 for a pro-62.  wait and wait...have
patience and keep posting on the newsgroups(including
misc.forsale.non-computer).  theres a guy selling a pro-50(20 channels)
for $75(originally $149).  but i would get a pro-43 because of it's
features, and it uses AA batteries.

Is there any interesting activity left on VHF Low. I can't find anything in

System Administrator,

Please remove this persons access to the internet. He is making false
statements regarding users that participate in the rec.radio.scanner
newsgroup. We do not want this type of user on the Internet. Many other

Thankyou,

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

<snip>

Thanks for the rundown on the CE-232 Bill.

So basically, comparing the CE-232 to the OPTO456 is like comparing
a passenger car to a pickup truck?  They are both adapted to a different
function and cannot be all things to all people.

In that case, can anyone tell me what an OPTO456 can do?
This would let me decide on a car or a truck, as it were.

Also, in relative terms, how difficult are these two units to install?
(I have a Pro2006)

If there's anyone in the Vancouver BC area who has one of these units,
I'd love to get your opinions and perhaps see a demo.

Thanks

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

        I'm in the market for a new handheld scanner and the Bearcat 220 has caught
my fancy. I was wondering if any of you had any opinions on this particular model.
I am looking for specifically a Uniden product.
        The reason being that I have had some difficulty with my two RS scanners.
My pro 42 I have declared DOA after 4 years. My pro 2032 suffers tremendous overloading
from adjacent frequencies and intermod and whatever else. Plus I cannot receive any
transmissions from say greater than 30 miles away.
        On the other hand, I have had a Bearcat 170 for 8 years now and have never had
a problem with it. though it's only 16 channels w/ no 800, it still gets the job done.
As for the FORMER Uniden employee, I think my case is proof enough that Uniden
manufactures a quality product.

        So for any opinions on the 220, please contact me privately.
        Thanks

I recently moved to a new home in the city of West Bend, WI, about
20 miles NNW of Milwaukee.  I'm on a bit of a hill overlooking a portion
of the city and there is a small Air National Guard base at the local
airport about 3 miles to the East of us.   Mostly helicopter traffic.

My wife just had to have the TV hooked up after the move so I just
put on some rabbit ears until we get cable.  Every once in a while,
Milwaukee TV channels 10 and 12 are completely wiped out by strong
interference.   Milwaukee TV channels 4, 6, 18, 24, 36 and 58 are not
affected.

This interference lasts for several minutes at a time and is NOT an
intermittent thing as with the "push-to-talk" switch on a microphone.
Recently,  I heard what sounded like ground-to-air military communication
while the video was wiped out.  The video interference usually looks like
gray-screen noise or massive horizontal sync problems.  Usually, there is
no audio heard.

I'm a licensed radio amateur and an engineer but am not too famiar with
military radar or military RF  nor have I ever lived this close to an airport.
Is the above problem typical?  I am aware that military aircraft RF is
assigned frequency spectrum near the television channels in question
(216 to 220 MHz, I think).  I really need to get a field strength meter and see
just how hard we are getting blasted.  ;-))  Maybe I'll borrow that  $25K IFR
spectrum analyzer from the lab here at work and take a look around
with that.

Please respond via Email.  Thanks.

I recently took a Scout and AR8000 to Sea World/Orlando. I had no problem
whatsoever. Even heard some pretty good stuff.  They used a lot of headset
type transcievers to communicate short range with each other.

The recent 'funniest' paramedic call here in Maryland when the dispatcher
sent a med team for an unconcious DOA, and repeated it. Would have
been even funnier if it were a conscious DOA...

Well, Tim,  I stand corrected.  Certainly "Energy" is a whole lot easier
to
say than "Chelsea," since Energy has fewer syllables.  That would
certainly
qualify it for the "brevity code."

I think that about the most humorous thing that I've heard while
scanning is the late night phone 'conversations' of people having
'phone' sex. I laugh until tears come from my eyes. This was on
a cordless phone, of course. Wouldn't it be neat to call up afterwards
and let him/her know how great it sounded!(Of course this was before
it was illegal to listen!<ha,ha>

How about a Hewlet-Packard 5342A/011 Microwave Frequency Counter?

It covers from 500 Mhz to 18 Ghz, 11 Digit Display .

The only problem may be the cost. About $4000 used.

Good Luck.

Just moved into a new apartment complex and soon found that the
maintenance department leaves a lot to be desired.  Since I'm home during
the day, I'd like to hear exactly what it is that these people do all day.
  The workers carry walkie-talkies with rubber ducks.  Haven't been able
to see one close up...but from about 20 feet away, it looks like VHF-High
antennas.  I've tried the obvious 154.570 & 154.600, and all I hear is Mc
Donald's drive-thru.

Judging from the looks of this operation, I would be really surprised if
the radios were actually licensed.  Probably cheap over-the-counter
radios that were purchased locally.  Which other frequencies should I try?
  (Could also be UHF, I suppose...but definitely not 800Mhz.  Duck was
too long.)

Also how "enforceable?" are these ridiculous laws?

Right on Greg!

You can get a BC3000 or a Radio Shack Pro-43 for less than $350.00.
The R1 was EXTREMELY overpriced by Icom.

I have the Bearcat 800 XLT. Problem is that the unit does not receive any freq's. The unit powers
up fine but never receives, can anyone point me in the direction of a possible problem?  Other than
sending it in for repairs, at this point.

Maybe some else can help clear this up. I was told by a AT&T technical rep
that the phone was indeed a spread spectrum phone. This would explain the
absence of a recognizable signal.  However, none of the marketing
literature brags about it being spread spectrum.  I have a 9100 myself and
have been real pleased with its performance, but I have not tried to scan
it.

  I like to place one of my handheld scanners under or behind the toilets
in my house when guest come over.
  It's pretty funny when my Mom or Dad "have a seat" and I remind them to
"wipe" over the simplex channel of the TV station two-way system!

Yes...I think Mom and Dad still love me....maybe.

I was listening to the Kennewick, WA police department several years ago,
and the dispatcher contacted one of the units to go to an address because
a lady was hearing alarm bells going off.  The dispatcher then told him
to stand by, and a few seconds later came back on and said "The alarm
bells are going off in her head."

An anonymous voice said, "Push reset."

I was sitting in the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office dispatch center
here in Phoenix a couple of months ago when one of their units got into a
chase in downtown Phoenix.  The bad guy's car started smoking and the
deputy didn't think it could go much further, but they were still going
60 mph down side streets.  The vehicle went into a field and blew a tire,
and they got into a foot chase.  Then the deputy said he had one at
gunpoint, then a little later had one in custody.  That would have been
great to hear on a scanner, but it was even better to hear it in the
dispatch center.  The dispatcher had 8 or 9 pages of logs on it (on the
computer) when it was over.  A couple of the dispatchers, including the
one who conducted the call, said it was the best chase they had ever
operated (which may not be a big thing, since they have a high turnover
rate there).

Here's some more:

- listen to pagers and report drug deals as "anonymous tips"  to  the
local police.   They love that stuff!
- go mobile and direction find different sites. Useful to know where they
are.
- follow one police car around one night and see where your tax dollars
are going!  Be discrete!
- if you hear someone you know have their name "run"  over the police
radio call them and razz 'em!
- toss a camera in the car and listen to the ambulance channels.   When
you hear a nasty accident, get there first, take pictures and offer them
to the local papers!   They pay big coin for good pic's!
- some people use pagers as a cheap form of "party line".   If you have a
scanner you can really make use of this! <check laws in  your area> 8-)
- try for low VHF band "DX" when conditions are good.
- build different antennas for the scanner and improve reception.
- listen to 2m hams; and get frustrated listening and go and get a ham
license!
- buy a four-door chev and dress it up to look like an undercover cop car!
- buy a hole saw and cut lots of 3/4" holes in  your car to mount
antennas for each of your scanners!
- if you normally listen to say the police, try listening to the fire
department instead.
- if you are listening to a stake out, drive over there and listen to the
police run your license plate!   Great fun!

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

Andy

  I was wondering if anyone knew of an easy/moderate solution for computer
interference.  I use my scanner next to my computer, and have located the
antenna as far from the computer as possible, but still experience distortion
towards the low end bands.  There is much distortion in the 30-50 bandwidth,
but almost none towards the 800-900 range.  I have heard of filters being
available for specific bands, but have not received the Grove catalog yet.  I
have also heard of a spray or liquid that you can coat the monitor surface
with to prevent interference, but I am not sure if this is only a myth.
Any advise would be appreciated...

I too, have had NOISE problems with my radio station, I mean PC.

I say radio station because the PC generates so much Radio Frequency (RF)
that it is a small radio station!

I found several things helped.
1. Distance beteween receiver and PC
2. Second plug/circuit for scanner and PC
3. The Video Monitor is usually noiser than the PC
4. RF chokes on the video cable
5. Run my scanner/SW radio off of DC power that is CHOKEd with ferrite
cores

this seems to work extremely well.

Also, others have shielded their monitors with Aluminum foil.  Putting a
separte wall/sheet/partition of aluminum foil between their monitor and
scanner seemed to work.  Ground everything.  Use a good outside antenna
and shieled coax antenna feedline.


Be seeing you,

That was for version 1.0.  The newer current version (I think it's 2.01 or

EEB in Vienna,VA offers them for $599.95 from EEB in Vienna,VA.
Buy the computer interface to and you can easily confirmed information
above. The cell block can be removed! I am sure I can write the necessary
SW and
do it in a matter of 2-3 days :-)

Also, snoop around on the AR8000 pages on the WWW. Good information there!

Help!  What do I have?
I am a long time scanner, but a real idiot when it comes to technical
stuff.  I am new to this newsgroup and was curious about cell phone freqs.

I have a Bearcat Sportcat SC150 which receives 806-956 MHz.  It gets cell
phones just fine.  What did I buy?  Is this model now no longer
available?  Or is this a "double conversion" which is getting "images"?

Please explain.  If this is some rare find, then I am going back to the
Wal-mart to snap up the rest.

OK I am stupid.  Following up to my own post....I now see that my scanner
skips over a couple of ranges of frequencies, which must be the cell
phones.  But I can get them just fine on higher freqs.  I know it would
be illegal to listen, so I always put my fingers in my ears when I hear
what sounds like a cell phone.
But whats the big deal?  What more could be heard if my radio got the
freqs directly instead of as "images"?

I've heard two explanations for this:

1) The first is that the scanner is just reciving image freqs. Which are
~ 21.5 MHz. above actual freq. In which case I wouldn't trust the scanner
to receive accurate freqs. on other bands.

2) The second explaination comes from a Radio Shack manager ( so take it
w/ a grain of salt :-)). He said that cellular freqs. are also located
above and below the currently blocked band. This seems somewhat accurate
because with all the new phones being activated every month they'd soon
run out of usable freqs.

Does anyone know which explanation is correct, or most correct.

I've also got an SC-150... if you notice, some of the time, you are
only getting one side of the conversation (I'm going on the assumption
that your area is set up similar to mine), and this is between about
896-916MHZ. Because you only get half the conversation, I'm lead to
believe that we're just getting "images" on those upper freqs....

Same place I got mine. I think there'd be a run on them.  :^)

    I'd suggest a whole salt shaker. The original cellular allocation was
for 666 channels. This was enlarged to 832 frequencies in the mid-80's. The
banned band includes the entire range. For reference:

Special devices are available to improve audio quality on tele sounding
circuits. With 3 or four (dependent upon mfgr <COMEREX Getner ETC>)
running at once you can get FM sound on a dial up phone system. Like 4
simultaneous tele calls at once for a mono broadcast event.

Uncle Bob,
As a Chicagoland scanner and aviation enthusiast, I too would like to
know of any good frequencies to monitor for the Air and Water Show. If
you hear from anyone please let me know. How about it guys - any ideas?

Very well put, Bill.  As someone in a similar position with regards to a
different hi-tech hobby (computer software/hardware/integration) I suffer
from the same problem, albeit to a lesser degree.  As you realize,
education is the only real solution.  I hope many people read your post

My guess is that you'll be staying downtown...

453.350 Detroit Police Precincts 1, 3, 4 (Downtown is 1st Pct)
453.775 Detroit Police Civic Center Base (Cobo, RenCen, etc [primarily
foot officers, all downtown])
453.550 Detroit Police F-5; Car-to-car (used only for local newspaper
strike at this time)
453.375 Detroit Police F-9; alternate car-to-car
453.875 Detroit Police F-11; Tactical Services and Special Crimes
(Citywide)
155.160 Detroit EMS Dispatch (Citywide)
155.340 Hospital - Ambulance network (Citywide)
154.310 Detroit Fire Dispatch (Citywide)
154.400 Detroit Fire Fireground
462.600 Renaissance Center Security

The above are what will probably be the easiest to monitor, yet still keep
the scanner going. Other police freqs are 453-750, -300, -800, -250, -700,
-325, -425, -925, and -975.

If there's anything is particular you're looking for let me know and I'll
see if I can help you out further.

Enjoy your stay!

Sure.   50 ohm cable is 50 ohm cable.  Its just RG58 like stuff.  At least its
what I use for networks I install.  (there are other nets that use 75 ohm stuff too)

Just to be fair to all; there are many other networks throughout the east
coast that supply the same information. Hartford Citywide in Hartford,CT,
New England Fire & News also East Coast Paging in Boston, Emergency
Communication Network in New York and FireCon in Washington,DC. There are
also others in other cities along the coast.

BNN as well as many of these other networks do a great job and we
exchange national incidents with many of them...

X-Newsreader: AIR News 3.X (SPRY, Inc.)

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

Hi,
   I have a PRO-62 for sale. It's never been opened, brand new (of course)
in box. Comes with the usual scanner goodies.

I paid about $315 for it with tax. I believe this was one of the scanners
that did not go up in price, so I'd like to get in the high 200's for it.

Triple Conversion
200 channels
Switchable 25/50 Hyperscan search (channels/sec)
Coverage: 30-54, 118-136.975, 137-174, 380-512, 806-823.9875,
849.0125-868.9875, 894.0125-960 Mhz...

Terms: Prepay or COD, you pay shipping.

Please respond via email if you are interested.

Thanks!

Hi

I have a Pro2006 and one of my presets is 139.350MHz.  This is
supposed to be a Police frequency but it is drowned out by
something else.  If I change the Mode to Wide FM, I hear what
sounds like an FM Broadcast station.

On the Pro2006, is 139.350MHz an image of part of the FM Broadcast band?

Would an FM Broadcast attenuator in my feedline correct this problem?
Is a RS one good enough, or is there better?

Any other suggestions are welcome.

...Gary

No, as the radio is triple conversion. You are probably suffering from
front end overload. Is there an FM station within a few miles of your
residence?

: Would an FM Broadcast attenuator in my feedline correct this problem?

No idea. One thing about Rat Shack - if it doesn't work, then you can take
it back.

: Any other suggestions are welcome.

You could try a narrow band filter.

What about the R-1?  I know they are out there, but all I can find mods for
is Bearcats and Pro models.  Any help finding the ftp site will be much

I believe Grove is now restoring full 800 Mhz coverage on the blocked R-1's.

After just reading the series of articles about "Copyrights on Usenet
posts" in this group, I find this.  The first paragragh of this post,
beginning with "I'm no expert...",  was written by me. In this case, I
could care less if readers are able to know that I wrote this, but
sometimes I could see how it might be a problem.  When I answer a post, I
always leave out the authors name because it will appear at the top of the
post, however, I never considered what happens after the post has been
answered several times.  I guess I am cheating the author of the post when
I exclude his/her name.  I guess I'll have to try and remember this when I
respond to posts.  OH WELL, I just thought that I would share my $0.02
worth.

I've owned a PRO-62 for about a year now. Overall, it's a good scanner at
a reasonable price.Sensitivity is improved over older Radioshack models.

ONE BIG COMPLAINT! A flaw in the design causes a constant noise from the
speaker,even when completely squelched and the volume completely down!
It's not loud(you have to put your ear right up to the speaker to hear
it)but this problem causes the batteries ( six AA's) to run down very
quickly.I suspect Radioshack is aware of this design flaw, and thats why
they've been placing this model on sale all over the country.They hope to
get rid of them.

If you dont mind spending a fortune in batteries,it can be considered a
decent buy.

hope this helps!

please!

Thank you very much,


       Joel Bedard.

PS:  I just want to know this information, because i don't know which one

The beginning of the post stated FUTURE USE, TESTING in PROGRESS in Harrisburg.
Several cars have made trips to various Public Safety conventions to show the
equipment. I am aware that FEW of the LICENSED sites have actually been
constructed. Any outside of Harrisburg, the test area, are actually online.

Any state that thinks 800MHz will work, especially in PA, should have the
person who made that decision shot.

Plans accoring to the information I received stated the main goal of the 800MHz
system was data for in car MDT's. (APCO Convetion with test vehicle on display

There are no newly manufactured scanners, imported into the US for sale,
that can be modified. The frequencies are blocked out in the CPU.

Most of the double conversion scanners that receive the part of the
band above the cellular frequencies can receive celluar transmission
images. In most cases, these are about as strong as if you tuned them
in directly.

Forget triple conversion scanners - they will not receive the cellular
frequencies - even on images.

the radio shack pro-26 gets 25-1.3ghz but is cell blocked however due to
the increase in cell-phone sales the cell freq has been expanded to
1008-1018mhz which the pro-26 gets. This range in very active now and will
continue to grow in activity,

    Errr .... the aviation industry may be a little upset to find that you
have unilaterally taken part of their VOR/DME band for phone calls (the FAA
and FCC might have something to say, also).
    The fact that the Pro-26 suffers from images, while handy if you want to
listen to cellular, is a defect of the radio, not a change to the spectrum
allocations.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply. Look's like i'll have to build it and see how
well it works.

Well the address is right. The university recently put all the machines
behind a firewall and there are still some bugs in the system, mail
isnt getting through from "the outside".

Sure, it's great if you like looking up freqs all day long and only
getting half of what you are looking for.  Look around at a few local Ham/
CB shops and see what else is out there.  In Southern CA, we have freq
books like Gene Hughes' Police Call (not Radio Shack's) and Scan Fan that
put RS's Police Call to shame.  These books give detailed freq information
on everything from public safety agencies to the security at the local
malls. You can put your $9.95 to a much better use than RS Police Call.
That's my $0.02 worth.

I just picked up a Pro 2030 on closeout at $129 at Radio shack. Got the
800 Mhz mod from the oakland site, popped open the unit, lo and behold no
such "L201 jumper" seems to exist. Can anyone confirm that this design has changed
(like the Pro 51 ) lately? It says "Radio shack" on the front, I believe
older ones said "Realistic" on the front.

Also, if anyone know of any keyboard mods it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim

Contact Grove Enterprises and request a copy of the August issue. Bob
Parnass did a comprehensive review of the
pro-26. All of your questions are answered
there.

Bottom line:

It cannot receive cellular.
It cannot be modified to receive cellular.
The Bearcat 3000xlt is a better scanner for the same money.
It has insignificant advantages over the pro-43. (audio is
a little better, and the display is easier to read.)

Actually, the allocations for PCS are 901-902, 930-931 & 940-941 MHz.
Your pre-1980 microwave oven is now a personal communications device <g>.

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

Your PRO-26 is receiving images.  There are no USA cellular
phone systems in the 1008 - 1018 MHz range.

Because of the tremendous demand for cellular phones
the government has recently allocated space near 2 GHz.
The marketeers call it PCS (personal communications system),
but it's just a cellular radiotelephone system with a fancy
new name in a different part of the spectrum.

As for the audio most heldheld scanners suffer from poor audio. When I
need to be able to hear well I use a RS clip on speaker or a Sony walkman
set of speakers. In the car I use the CD to cassette adapter.

I wouln't worry about the audio and much as whether or not it has the
features you want.

Radio Shack is discontinuing their little FM transmitter/receiver combination
meant to be used with a video game machine.

The transmitter couples to the earphone jack of any scanner/SW set and will
retransmit the audio onto your FM set. Works great.

I saw them this weekend for 7.99. I paid 20.00 for mine and that was half
price.

Anyone know of a MOD for this scanner to regain full cellular
coverage?  I tried one I found on the net, and it did not work,
nor did it match my scanner exactly.  Are there multiple
configurations of the PRO46 available?  Either way, I'd love to
know if there's a way to get full cellular coverage...

I am considering the purchase of either the Radio Shack PRO-2035 or the
Uniden BC9000XLT.  Can anyone comment on either or both of these units?
Ideally, I will need to go with the unit that does the best job in long
distance monitoring, with as little interference as possible.

Thank you for any and all comments!

The BC9000 wins hands down, unless you want computer control, then the 2035
is the choice. I own the 9000 and think it's absolutely fantastic.
Very sensistive, with programmable attenuator.

Is my Radio Shack Pro-34, capable of receiving these cell phone
transmissions?
Also how "enforceable?" are these ridiculous laws?
By the way I'm in Connecticut.

I just purchased a new Pro-51 scanner from Radio Shack today. The date code on it is 11A3.

I've noticed several posts lately referring to the date code 11A3.  What are the mods if any that are
available for the Pro-51?  If anyone knows, please post or email me.



Thanks,

I am curently re-constructing my base station scanner I have a bearcat
350A,and a Radio Shack Pro-26 which are hooked up to a discone antenna on
my roof. Currently I have 75 feet of RG-58 connected to my scanner. My
discone is approximatly seven feet off the top of my roof in a residential
area. What is my biggest problem as far as singnal loss is concerned? The
75 feet of RG-58 or the fact that the antenna is only seven feet off my
roof? How much would converting to RG-8 cable help my situation. Anyone
who can offer advice I would much appreciate it.

The largest signal loss will be due to your cable.  If you are planning to replace
it anyway, first determine the highest frequency you want to receive.  Then visit
your cable supplier and look at his spec sheet for the loss in db, at that
frequency, on the cable you're interested in.  It's important to match up the model
number of the cable spec sheet with that of the cable reel, since various
manufacturers of the same class of cable, RG-8 for example, may quote different loss
specs.  The loss is usually expressed in db per 100 feet.  The lower the loss, the
better the cable.  Since 75 feet is a relatively short length of cable, you may be
able to purchase a very high quality cable at a reduced rate if it is the end of the
roll, etc.  It never hurts to ask / negotiate.

    Ok I've checked out the mods list for Radio Shack, including the
pro-2006.  Most of you know, the trouble is that most of these models
are discontinued!  Are there any mods for the newest models like the
2035?

  Also, I'm condiering buying an AOR scanner, but I've heard they
block out cellular on their scanners except for sales to companys, the
feds, etc.  Are there any mods for the AOR's and/or has anyone had any
luck "fooling" them into selling an unblocked scanner by claiming to
be a business? :>.

As far as I know - ALL scanners sold in the US are blocked - with no
exceptions, even for police. Companies certainly are NOT exempt from
the ban.

Police do not need cellular capable scanners. If they have a warrant,
so that they can listen legally, then they can go to the cellular
provider, and use the companies equipment - which is capable of tracking
calls when they change frequencies/cells, something scanners cannot do.

I have an AOR-1000 unit that does get EVERYTHING between 1mhz and 1300 mhz
including the Cellular Phones!!  Cellular Phones are sometimes
interssting and fun to listen to. YOU would think people would know that
since the device has an antenna they are BROADCASTING what they are saying
for anyone that can or wants to listen!!   JOHN/Phoenix

We can only sell unblocked scanners to cellular telephone companies,
and local, state, and federal agencies on purchase order only.
Requests have to be sent to us on Company/Agency letterhead with
its intended use.  We verify authenticity then ship the units out.

As for possible mods...public discussion only serves to have the
radios removed from sales due to revocation of certification.
Check out some home pages that support several brands of scanners
and email the authors...I'm sure they would be glad to provide you
with the information you need.

Also I have found a mailing list for the AR8000 that has some top-notch
users.  You can get it by sending a message to:

I hope I didn't screw that up...I did that from memory.  :)

I tested a Radio Shack PRO-60 portable and liked it except for the
battery consumption on my unit.  The audio quality was improved
over the the PRO-62 and stock PRO-43.

A full review is scheduled to appear in September 1995 Monitoring Times,
about 3 weeks from now.

I've seen in the call book and in some ads for VHF radios making reference
to blue dot, red dot and green dot frequencies, example 151.625 mhz is
called ' Red Dot'. Can someone explain what this is.

Portland, OR uses a Smart Zone System with a twist. There are Five sites
all transmitting the same information on the same frequency from each
site. There are three trunks in the system with one being the primary
trunk (12 chennels) and two other fill in trunks. There is a system
planed for the top of the ski lift on Mt. Hood also. Here are the
frequencies for the main trunk, the number is the order that they are
slected by the computer, Program them into your scanner in that order
then scan in reverse order.

  TRUNK A
856.4625 - 1
856.7375 - 2
857.2625 - 5
857.4375 - 4
857.4625 - 3
857.7375 - 6
858.2625 - 7
858.7125 - Ctrl
859.7125 - 8
860.2625 - 9
860.4375 - 10
860.4625 - 11
860.7125 - 12

  TRUNK B - simulcast trunk A
851.2875
852.3875
853.4375
854.3125
854.5875

TRUNK C - simulcast trunk A
852.2875
852.6375
852.7875
854.2875
854.7375

TEUNK D - Not on the air.
855.7875
857.9125
859.8375
860.8125
860.8625

MDT's (I think)
851.8625
852.5125
853.2375
853.3375
853.9875
854.4625

Others
858.7875
858.4375
858.4625

There you go....everything you could ever wish to know about the new
portland system....untell the change it again, 45 new frequencies in the
works.

Greetings from Wisconsin!

It is indeed illegal to listen to cellular telephone conversations with a
scanner in the US; this is also true of cordless telephones.  Our
government doesn't even allow the importation of scanners that can
receive US cell phone frequencies or can be easily modified to do so.
Silly, in my opinion.

It is also illegal in some states to use, or in some cases merely posess,
a scanner ""capable of receiving police frequencies" in a vehicle (car,
boat, motorcycle, etc.) or in some cases even while on foot in a public
place.  These laws are written in such a way to specifically exempt
licensed Amateur Radio Operators, since most VHF/UHF ham radios can do
this, and hams frequently have valid reasons for listening, such as
disaster relief/civil defense work, etc.

It is not illegal anywhere in the US to listen to fire, police, etc. from
your own home.  You can even tape-record the radio traffic.  You are not
allowed to "respond", in other words, to drive to the scene of the
accident, arrest, etc. for fear you will hinder the police/fire people
there.  You are not allowed to "divulge to others" the content of the
radio transmissions, nor to use the content in a profit-making business.
 These restrictions are ignored unless you make a *real* nuisance of
yourself.  TV and newspaper reporters violate these laws every day, for
example, and nobody cares.

If the transmission is scrambled or encrypted, it is illegal to
descramble or decrypt the transmission, unless you are an "intended
recipient" of the transmission.  This typically means little, since few
scanner enthusiasts have equipment capable of descrambling any scrambled
signals of interest (police, fire, military.)

Most municipalities here don't scramble anything except undercover work
and occasionally a big drug bust or anti-gang crackdown, but there are a
few that scramble *everything* - Los Angeles is supposedly going to such
a system. Many believe that this was caused by citizens recording
conversations on police radio where the police officers used racist
language and stereotypes to unfairly categorize certain racial groups
that the officers in question didn't like.  The solution - scramble!!
This kind of thing has some people rather unhappy, especially since our
military can't even do that!!  Our military can't scramble radio
communications unless there is a mission-specific reason for doing so -
routine scrambling is not allowed.

I have a pro-62 which I purchased a few months ago.  No such problem with
the speaker noise.  It works great!

I read the same post and this is it:

From:   [e-mail] (TMCXXX)
Date:   4 Aug 1995 22:38:31 -0400

I've owned a PRO-62 for about a year now. Overall, it's a good scanner at
a reasonable price.Sensitivity is improved over older Radioshack models.

ONE BIG COMPLAINT! A flaw in the design causes a constant noise from the
speaker,even when completely squelched and the volume completely down!
It's not loud(you have to put your ear right up to the speaker to hear
it)but this problem causes the batteries ( six AA's) to run down very
quickly.I suspect Radioshack is aware of this design flaw, and thats why
they've been placing this model on sale all over the country.They hope to
get rid of them.

If you dont mind spending a fortune in batteries,it can be considered a
decent buy.

..........................................................................
...

I have listened to my Pro-62 as he has discribed and in fact do hear a
constant hiss coming from the speaker.  You have to put your ear to the
speaker to hear it.  What I don't know is whether this contributes to
rapid battery use.  I use Radio Shack's Hi-capacity .85 mA batteries with
my radio and get somewhere between 6 and 8 hours of scanning between
charges.  I think this is pretty good (???).  I'm not worried a bit about
any alledged "Design Flaws" with my Pro-62.

There are no "pre-programmed" factory settings.

The AIR-8 is the N.American version of the Air-5/Air-7. There are 10
memory channels for each band. AM Broadcast, FM Broadcast, Airband and
PSB.

To store channels select the Band you wish to use (Eg. Airband) with the
large dial on the top.

Press the large Direct key at the top left of the Keypad. The screen will go
blank.

Key in the frequency you wish to listen 123.75 (without the decimal
point) then press EXECUTE. Any trailing zeros will be added. The radio
is now tuned to 123.75MHz.

To store the frequency in any of the 10 channels press and hold down the
green "enter" button and press any one of the 10 channels, for example 1 !
At the right hand side of the LCD screen is a small copy of the keypad.
The channel selected will "darken". You can repeat the above for all ten
channels.

Once you have programmed all or some of the 10 channels you can scan
them by pressing the large Scan bvutton at the top right. You have to
hold it down for a fraction of a second until the sets starts to scan.
You cannot Scan any frequencies stored whilst in the AM or FM Bands.

If you do not wish to scan all 10 channels but select just a few you can
press and hold down the green "program" button and press the channels
you wish to scan. When "program" is on the LCD display and you press the
Scan key only those channels selected will be scanned.

Pressing the large "+" / "-" keys at the bottom will start searching
up/down from the displayed frequency.

Hope this helps.

KABC-AM did a live remote broadcast from my place of employment for
our annual open house a year ago.  They arranged beforehand to have
six CO lines brought in to our DMARK and patched down to jacks in our
front office, from which they ran a few line cords out to their mixer
table.  I just HAD to ask, the engineer told me it had a 10 MHz
bandwidth and that the black box was a 56 Kbps modem that was sending
not only their program audio to the studio but also the data on
waiting callers to the host's monitor and IFB audio to his earpiece.
I had to limit my poking around though, they wouldn't have been happy
if my fiddling had taken them off the air.

And, I salvaged the jacks when I was in dire need of one to bring a
telco line to the phone patch module on the centracom.  My modem is
plugged in to one right now.  :)

Steve, except for a few of the more common ten codes, e.g.,

10-1  Receiving poorly
10-2  Receiving well
10-4  OK
10-9  Say again?

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

I dont know who Cnfederat is..but i was there for the incident...I can give names of people who were there, and, hmmmm Cnfererat, how do you claim to know
worked for TFD or the FD radio shop, you werent there.  Please dont hide behind an alias and report on things that you werent there for and apparently kno
didnt even mention the several run ins Mr. Gass has had with the FAA and his heliport on too of his 'secruity' firm.  Larry Gass cries foul whenever an il
involved in gets him caught.  Also Gass DID NOT disable the transmitters.  he offered to, if the City of Tulsa would pay him money to, but to my knowledge

Besides, do you really think that they would publish the fact that some yahoo was able to do something like that while at the same time they were trying t
new computer system and dispatch center.  Beside the fact of the response that the public would have had knowing that happened.

I was under the impression that Police Call was the same no matter where
you bought it...

In any case, I also reccommend a book called Scan Fan.  It's the nuts for
San Diego County, and I imagine the OC coverage is just as good.  It should
be available at your local Ham Radio Outlet, or other ham store.

Happy Scanning,

Doug

Hi!!

If you have a vast knowledge of the Swedish language and you're
in G÷teborg this week tune your scanner to the foollowing
freq┤s for WCA action.

408.800 Transportation
467.700
467.875
468.025 LOC/Medical
468.250

If you have updates on these or other freq's in G÷teborg don't

I believe you are refering to a sub-audible tone board - aka CTCSS. For more
information on signaling formats used in communications systems you may
want to look at the following Web pages that discribe what they are and
how they are used....

for sub-audible (CTCSS) tones      - http://www.winternet.com/~genave/ctcss.html
for Digital Private Line (DVP)         - http://www.winternet.com/~genave/dpl.html

Sounds like an amateur radio DX spotting network.   The signal may be
on 2 meters.  All of those listings are ham callsigns and frequencies
within the amateur shortwave bands.

You are probably hearing an image of a ham radio DX spotting
network transmitting on or near 145.145 MHz.

Well I own RS hand held PRO 25 and the RS PRO 2036 Desk top
both run freq. range 849.0125 thru 868.9875  and 894.0125 thru 956 MHz

I receive cell. conversations from 862. thru 915. MHz

No mods made to either.

I also have the pro 25 and have experienced the cell band monitoring
capability you mention. I believe the frequency range between 868 and 895 is
what most people refer to as the cellular band.

arie...there is no moderator.  the group is self-regulated, which is what
you would expect from a group of people interested in this topic.  and,
for the most part, it works.

if you have a question, post it.  you may get flamed.  you may get a
serious response.  most likely, both.  its a big world, and it covers
alot of  spectum.

happy DX-ing...de jim

Hey Ito, Is this the same one you've been selling for the past *year*?
If so, you never mentioned the "not gaps" before?  Tell me, what are
"not gaps?"  How does it have a guaranty after a year?

>Please, DAVID HORAK AND JIM WAYDA, are also welcome to reply!!!!!!!!!
>I love it when they do it.

OK.  Glad to oblige you.  If you will ship it to me, I'll take a good
look at it.  If it works, I'll send you a check for $200.
BTW, you should get out more often.  There are lots of *young* english
tutors out there.

David

Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville, IL

 bracket available and the keyboard is  not  backlit.   More
 sensitive  than  the  PRO-2004  but  800  MHz  signals leak
 through into the commercial aero band.  Highly recommended.
 See  "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2005 Programmable
 Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S,  in  The  Radio  Enthusiast,
 June 1989, and RCMA Journal, August 1989.

 PRO2006: 1990 vintage.  Essentially the  same  as  PRO-2005  |
 but  scans faster.  Probably the best scanner made to date.
 Highly recommended.  See "The Realistic PRO-2006,"  by  Bob
 Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, October 1990.

 PRO-2035: 1995 vintage.  Cumbersome 100 channel bank  size.
 Tuning  knob.   Poor  dynamic  range.   10  linkable search
 banks.  Dumb Auto Store feature stores the same frequencies
 over and over.  See "The Radio Shack PRO-2035 - How Does It
 Compare With the  PRO-2006?,"  by  Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,  in
 Monitoring Times, January 1995.

 PRO34: Portable scanner  with  200  channels  and  800  MHz
 coverage.  Ten "monitor" channels.  Operates from AA cells.
 Slow scanning, low audio output, and chintzy  plastic  case
 detract  from  an  otherwise  good  performance.  No decent
 leather case available from Radio Shack.   If  you  need  a
 portable  with 800 MHz, get a Bearcat 200XLT.  If you can't
 get a 200XLT, get a PRO-34.

 PRO2021: Base/mobile scanner.  200 channels  in  10  banks,
 LCD  display  and  raised  rubber keys.  Lots of memory but
 scans  too  slowly  and  lacks  800  MHz.   Ten   "monitor"
 channels.  Radio Shack seemed to have an overstock of 2021s
 as they were on sale for such a long time.  Close out price
 dipped  to  about  $200,  which  made it a nice scannero  for
 beginners.

 PRO2022:  Base/mobile  scanner.   Like  the   PRO2021   but
 includes  the 800 MHz band.  Cellular images throughout the
 847.6 - 869 MHz range.  Includes power saver  circuit,  odd
 for  a  base  unit,  which  can  clip  the  first part of a
 transmission.

 PRO2036: Same as  Uniden/Bearcat  BC890XLT.   Tuning  knob.
 200  channels,  global  delay.   Scans  and  searches fast.
 Count, AUX, and  Auto  Store  features.   Accepts  optional
 CTCSS  board.   Dual  conversion  with 10.8 MHz first IF --
 lots of images and  birdies.   Prone  to  severe  intermod,
 especially  when  used  with  an outdoor antenna.  See "The
 Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass,
 in June 1995 Monitoring Times.

 PRO-2037: Triple conversion all plastic base  scanner  made
 by  GRE.  Home version of the PRO-62 portable but with more
 intermod.  200 channels  in  10  banks,  one  search  bank,
 selectable  AM  and  FM.   Uses up conversion circuitry but
 inadequate front end filtering still allows images,  though
 not  as  bad  as  in  10.7 or 10.8 MHz IF circuits.  Crisp,
 respectable audio given the top mounted speaker.  See  "The
 Radio  Shack  PRO-2037,"  by  Bob  Parnass,  in  July  1995
 Monitoring Times.

 PRO2001:  Early,  single  bank  16  channel   programmable.
 Reasonable  coverage  of  the  3  traditional  bands, minus
 aircraft band.  LED digital display as well as an  LED  per
 channel.   Mechanical  lockout  switch  for  each  channel.
 Delay is either on or off for all channels at a time.  High
 synthesizer  noise level.  Troublesome plated through holes
 on digital board in  some  units  renders  radio  virtually
 unfixable.   Could  never  get mine to work more than a few
 days in a row; always another bad connection.  Some  owners
 have no trouble.

 PRO52: 8 channel VHF-Lo/Hi  base  unit.   No  UHF  band  or
 provision   for  mobile  operation.   Good  little  scanner
 despite limited frequency  coverage  and  Spartan  lack  of
 frills.   Crisp  squelch action and good audio, heo lped by a
 front mounted, vertical speaker.

 PRO2003: Radio Shack's 1986 top of line.  50 channels +  10
 FM  commercial broadcast band channels.  Includes aircraft.
 Good frequency coverage and functionality, but  at  a  high
 price.   Poor human engineering: difficult to read keyboard
 makes the PRO2003 hard to operate  unless  in  a  well  lit
 room.   Keyboard  label  coloring  improved on newer units.
 Rather slow scan rate and high price.  Although  there  are
 provisions  for 12VDC operation, the cabinet shape and lack
 of mounting bracket  makes  mobile  operation  impractical.
 Scan  rate  only  8  channels/sec vs. 15/sec in Regency and
 Bearcat.  Causes  RFI:  Plastic  case  permits  scanner  to
 radiate signals into nearby receivers.

 PRO-43: Very good portable made by GRE.  First Radio  Shack
 portable  with up conversion, and 222 MHz ham and 225 - 400
 MHz military  air  band  coverage.   200  channels,  single
 search  range.   Small,  convenient  size.   Muffled audio.
 Speakers in early units known to  fail  and  more  powerful
 speakers  were  used in later units.  800 MHz band coverage
 fully restorable in early units by  removing  diode.   Uses
 same  6  cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables.
 Subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range.

 PRO-60: Very good portable  made  by  GRE.   200  channels,
 single  search range.  Similar features and same IFs as the
 PRO-43 it replaced  but  the  PRO-60  has  wider  frequency
 coverage  and  crisper audio.  Covers 75 MHz and commercial
 FM broadcast bands.  Improved Direct search can be  stepped
 manually in single steps.  Uses same 6 cell battery tray as
 other high end GRE portables.  Railfans take  note  --  the
 PRO-60  and PRO-43 are subject to interference in 160 - 162
 MHz range.  Draws 100 mA while  scanning  and  2  mA  while  |
 turned off.

 PRO-26: Very good portable  made  by  for  Radio  Shack  by
 Uniden.    200   channels,  very  fast  scan/search.   Good
 display.  Covers all TV channels, but spectrum adjacent  to
 celo lular  phone  band is censored which prevents monitoring
 parts of  some  trunked  systems  (e.g.,  IL  State  Police
 district  4).   Up  to 50 frequencies can be skipped during
 search.  Limited image  rejection  causes  929  MHz  paging
 interference  in  170  MHz range.  Audio suffers from small
 speaker.

 PRO62:  Good  portable  200  channel   scanner   using   up
 conversion.   Similar  to  PRO-43 but no military air band,
 different upper frequency  limit,  and  slightly  different
 IFs.   Selectable  AM/NFM  modes.  Better intermod immunity
 than PRO-43.  See "The Radio Shack PRO-62," by Bob Parnass,
 AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, February 1995.

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

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

 PRO-24:  Only  4  channels  in  this   crystal   controlled
 portable.   Covers  the three basic bands, but no aircraft.
 Easy to  obtain  batteries  and  crystals.   Characteristic
 Radio  Shack  squelch  problem,  fixable  by  changing  one
 resistor.  All-plastic case larger than Bearcat  Thin  Scan
 and  clones.   See "The Radio Shack PRO-24 Scanner," by Bob
 Parnass, excerpted in the "Technical Topics"  column,  RCMA
 Newsletter, February 1984.


                 Craig (division of Pioneer)

 4530: Japanese 10 channel crystao l controlled 3  band  unit.
 Also   available  under  Plectron  name  but  in  different
 cabinet.  No aircraft band.  Deluxe features like priority,
 trimmer  capacitors  for  netting each channel, front panel
 speaker, and rugged metal cabinet make this unit a  winner.
 Channel lockout slide switches have finite life.  Replacing
 burned out incandescent channel lamps not fun.  Grab a 4530
 if you find one in good condition.


                           Sonar:

 Sonar  made  several  crystal   controlled   scanners   and
 channelized  monitor  receivers  which  shared  the same RF
 circuitry.  Each radio was housed in the  same  size  metal
 case  and  worked  on  both 120 VAC and 12 VDC.  The models
 differed in the number of channels, the band coverage,  and
 whether individual channels could be locked out.

 Although they used  a  10.7  MHz  first  IF,  Sonar  radios
 require  parallel  resonant  crystals  different  from  the
 common series resonant crystals used in Regency  and  Radio
 Shack  scanners.   Some  Radio  Shack crystals will work in
 Sonar units, but more often they oscillate a  few  kHz  off
 frequency and are unsuitable unless changes are made to the
 oscillator circuitry.  Therefore,  beginners  should  avoid
 these radios.  Typical Sonar squelch has long time constant
 causing a long noise burst at the end of each transmission.


 FR-104, FR-105: 6 channel monitor receivers covering  25  -
 50  MHz  or 150 - 175 MHz.  Manual channel selection, i.e.,
 no scanning.  Early models are  identified  by  an  11  pin
 connector  on  the  rear  and  they  could  be used with an
 optional NiCd battery pack and charger which bolted to  the
 rear  panel.  Later models used Cinch Jones connectors with
 flat contacts.  Optional tone decoder board.

 FR-2512, FR-2513: 24 channel versions  of  the  FR-104  and
 FR-105  monitor receivers.  Manual channel selection, i.e.,
 no scanning.

 FR-2514, FR-2515: 8 channel scanners.  Channel 1  priority.
 Recommend  you  avoid  these  models  as there is no way to
 lo ockout a channel from the scan sequence.

 FR-2526, FR-2526, FR-2528:  10  channel  scanners  covering
 various  combinations  of  3  bands.  Each channel could be
 locked out.  Channel 1 priority.

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 ano d do not scan.  They can  be  powered  form
 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper mobile cord.

 The audio quality on a Plectron P1 or  700  series  is  far
 better  than any consumer grade scanner and the sensitivity
 and intermod immunity is outstanding if  aligned  properly.
 The  Plectron  500 series is less desireable.  The Motorola
 Alert monitors are pretty good, although  the  audio  lacks
 bass.

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

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

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

 Parts for Plectron receivers  are  available  from  Federal
 Signal  in University Park, IL, and may be available in the
 future from:

The 154.6 frequency is known as a "green dot" frequency. The Wal-Mart
near me uses that frequency on the HT's that the managers carry. The
Telxon pricing terminals used at this Wal-Mart operate on a 900MHz
digital frequency. I'd sure like to learn how to hack those. The
McDonalds in my area operates on 154.57, that's another one of the
"color-dot" frequencies, but I can't remember which.

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



Remember, Bruins are people too.  At least that's the rumor.

I ad a look at my 9100's guts; as far as I can tell, the 9100
uses an MC3418 CVSD chip to convert the analog voice signal into
a digital stream, which is then used to frequency modulate the
transmitter.  The transmission mode is wideband FM, without any
spectrum spreading.  However, the bandwidth of the WBFM signal
is several times wider than conventional NBFM.

Certainly, with a PRO-2006 I could a discrete transmitted signal
from the 9100.  If it was spread spectrum, I wouldn't be able to
do this.

The following is ficticious:


    Well up at school in the dorms on those boring nights with no
cable,I'd whip out my handheld (scanner) and tune in the cordless
freqs. We learned some interesting info about our fellow mates and
often intercepted a pizza order; then called after the order was made
and announced that the pizza had arrived (a 10 min wait between) this
is made more comical because I stayed in a 15 story dorm with
incredibly slow elevators. childish?, Immature? probably, but funny as
hell! what else to do with a intercepted cordless phone freq?

Happened to one of our reporters once. She got stopped for speeding on
the way to an assignment, and din't have her license with her. By the
time she got back, we had somewhere around 1,000 photocopies of her
license plastered all over the newspaper office.
Happened to me as well, i was injured covering a brushfire and when they
called the ambulance for me, it broadcast loud and clear throughout the
newsroom. Still haven't lived that one down.

That is how I broke into this buisness. AND yes we like Joe Citizen that
brings in film from a accident or fire that we can't get to. And yes,
some place pay upwards of $50 a photo for one time use rights. In other
words, after they use it, you can sell it out to anyone else, such as a
fire or EMS trade magazine, who also pay decently.

Yes, yes, I know, how many times are people gonna ask for mods?
Well, anyway, I have a Radio Shack PRO-32 handheld which I would like
to find out is capable of getting the 800 Mhz range.  Our local police
department just switched over to a new 800Mhz trunked system, and now
I can hear all of the fun stuff.  :-(

TIA!

Dave:  I believe the IF mixing scheme runs like this;
1st IF = 607.505 - 611.5 MHZ
2nd IF= 48.5 MHZ
3rd IF= 10.7 MHZ (for wideband fm only)
3rd IF = 455KHZ for narrow fm and am modes

I have had success with detecting ssb using  the 455khz IF into my
FRG7700.  Unfortunately the 7700 has a tendency to be a bit
regenerative around 455kc because of its own IF scheme.

Hope this helps you. Have fun.

It is a triple up conversion scheme with the final being I believe
610Mhz.

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

Good luck.

What do you think of it? that's my question. I'm looking for one of
those particular models, and I want to know what kind of reception they
have. so, i would appreciate any help you can give. Also, if you're
looking to sell it, i can give you like 250 for it, but not for a little
while because i just paid my tuition for college. So E-mail me, and give
me this info if you can. Also, let me know what you're looking to sell
it for, and how long you'd be willing to hang on to it. Thanks alot.

What type of computer are you planning to use the software with? DOS or
Mac?
For DOS, check out the ScanCat or ScanStar (I forget the exact name & I
don't
have my Grove catalog with me here in the office) software. For the Mac,
well, you're just going to have to wait for awhile. There are people
working on Mac sw for the 8K, but nothing is really out there and available
at the moment.

Hi folks, Wayne here.

     I wasn't directing the "how many answers" thing at Jake, I was
directing it toward all the folks answering.  Can't everyone see how many
answers he already had before posting their own?

     It wasn't meant to be that big a deal!  Everyone, lighten-up.  Life is
too short!

Happy scanning!

Wayne.

P.S.  Anyone else out there scan the 250-400 Mhz AM mil air stuff??  That
is my neck of the woods.  Glad to exchange freqs with anyone who needs
them!

I try to cut people some slack on this matter.  Some folks with slow news
service might not see follow-up postings in thread as soon as others.  But
once a thread has been around a while I start to share your sentiments.

USAF Thunderbirds; I have a couple of related questions. (I don't pretend to
know much about radio, so if the questions seem silly, please don't flame me.)

First, I have a Air-Scan II radio that lets me hear the transmissions between
commercial airlines and the Albuquerque (NM) Tower; but I live in Tucson (AZ)!
I can't hear the Tucson Tower. Why can I hear Albuquerque and not Tucson?

Second, is there any way I could hear the transmissions from all the military
aircraft flying around Davis-Monthan AF Base (here in Tucson)? My radio
receives VHF 108-136 MHz.

Third, if listening to military transmissions is possible (legal?), does anyone
have the frequencies for the Blue Angels? I'm going to Seattle to see them at
an airshow in Sept, and it would be neat to listen in.

Thanks.

       307.700 is All Aircraft (alternate - used only in practice this
year)

Both 307.700 and 302.150 were used at different times during practice
this week - either might be used in the actual shows, or both might.

Note that not all frequencies are used at every airshow, there are a
lot of "alternate" channels, to avoid local users on a given channel.
Also, during practice, channel usage does NOT conform to actual airshow
usage - for instance, 263.350 may be used as air to air, instead of just
for calling the mechs on the ground to request repairs on landing.

Don't count on usage listings above - things change, or may have been
incorrectly reported.

I doubt you are hearing Albuquerque "tower".  You might want listen closely
as you are probably hearing Albuquerque "Center". (I think Albuquerque has
a center).  Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCC) handle enroute
traffic and cover a large area.  Oakland center covers Northern California
and a good portion of Nevada, as well as a lot of trans-pacific.  The high
altitudes (flight levels) over or near Tucson may be Abuquerque center's
airspace.

The Centers' transmitters are remoted and scattered all over the place on
mountaintops and such.  So it is likely you will hear a Center or a Remote
Communications Outlet (RCO) of a Flight Service Station.  Calls to
Albuquerque Flight Service would be to "Albuquerque Radio" but the
airline don't normally have a need for FSS contact while enroute.

OTH - towers have smaller service areas (less than 50 mile radius of the
airport) and their signals are usually tough to hear on the ground with
small antennas unless you are very close to the airport.  Their antennas
are intended to provide higher takeoff angles to communicate with local
airborne traffic.

As you may know, military aircraft "UHF" is around 240 to 350 MHz (I don't
remeMber the exact freqs - but it a big chunk of spectrum).  But it is not
uncommon to have military traffic communicate with "civilian" stations on
the civilian VHF freqs between 118 and 136.  You won't hear much below 118
Mhz as that's primarily for radionavigation (radiolocation).

>Third, if listening to military transmissions is possible (legal?), does [snip]

If you have a radio that covers it, go ahead.  If they do anything
classified, they'll encrypt it.

I have a Uniden Bearcat 210xw that I got second hand without a manual.
I am having trouble figuring out whether some problems are features or
bugs or repairs needed.

Can anyone supply me with a copy of, or tell me where I can get,
either a users manual or a service manual?

Or will someone volunteer to help me with some things, like for
instance, the fact that I can program in new frequencies for some
parts of it range but not for others.

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Here is an addendum to the Spreadsheet given in my ULTIMATE SCANNER
book and in my continuing series of articles in Monitoring Times
Magazine and the World Scanner Report.

I had forgotten at the time of my writing that the "Great Circle"
spreadsheet I gave out would produce errors of bearing and distance
when used anywhere but in North America, as well as for distances much
over 100-miles or so.  My spreadsheet contains corrections for the
earth's "bulge" in the southern hemisphere which has the effect of
making the northern hemisphere slightly smaller.

Generally speaking, this has little effect on long distance
calculations when regular spherical trigonometry is used.  Short
distance calculations can be in substantial error, and my spreadsheet
was designed for short path VHF-UHF propagation analysis to minimize
those kinds of errors, but I forgot that it would create errors for
long distance calculations.

Therefore, use the Spreadsheet in my book and magazine articles ONLY
for North American calculations and then only for distances under
150-mi.  The
regular spherical trigonometric calculations can be used for longer
distances and the below table shows how to add this useful feature to
your existing Spreadsheet without disrupting anything previously
entered.

We will use empty cells C6-C10, D6-D10, and E6-E10, to enter the
formulas for long distance calculations.  It should only take a few
minutes.  The main thing to watch for here is the formulas where you
should enter them exactly as shown......with no spaces.  Severl of the
formulas are lengthy and had to be folded over onto two lines.  These
will be entered as one line in the appropriate cells of your
spreadsheet:  (C6, D6, and E6)

Note that formulas always begin with an equals sign "=" (without the
quote marks.  Text cells can be entered with most anything, including
spaces.

Note that the below table assumes you have already constructed the
Spreadsheet given in my book or magazine articles.  Some of the cells
below refer to cells that already exist on my main spreadsheet, so do
not consider the below table a complete spreadsheet.  It is not.  It
is expressly designed to be added to my original one.

Once the below table has been added to your existing spreadsheet, you
will see two different outputs of distance and bearing.  The original
sheet will work independently of the below and vice versa.  If you are
working with long distances, the resulting output from the below will
be more accurate, but results from both calculations will be shown so
you can see the difference and select one or the other for your
critical work.

The 2006 was the best scanner made by RS and is considered one of the
best scanners ever made. Unfortunately, the 2035 falls short. The
BC9000xlt is a much better scanner than the rs2035.

Or you could use a white LED. Some distributor from Hong Kong demostrated
it to a local dealer. Don't know what happened to it though. It was
actually 3 LEDs in one - red, green and blue.

Questions -


Right now I am currently in the possesions of an Icom R1 that is over 3
1/2 years old and is on its last legs, so to speak.  I would like to to
upgrade purchase a new handhled, but am not sure which route to take.  I
tried a Pro-43 handheld at a local Radio Shack.  It seems good,
lightweight.  However, when I entered 857.162 into one of the channels (it
is a local police freq) it revreted to 857.150  Will it still come through
or this this a problem with the radio?
I was also looking at going the AOR route. I have heard that with scanners
such as the AOR1000, you need to be a rocket scientist to program it
properly.  I'd bee looking to spend about $500 (Canadian).  If anyone is
selling an AOR 8000 for such a price, please email me - I'm interested!


Any help would be appreciated.


Jesse

Try 857.1625 MHz. In that range the steps are 12.5 kHz. If the (Canadian)
assignment is actually .1620, the 1/2 kHz difference won't matter.

  I think you need to take a real close look at the next CHP motor you
can find.
 Here in the Monterey Bay area(Monterey,Santa Cruz Counties) every single
CHP motorcycle has an extender mounted in the radio box and the antenna
is mounted behind the windshield.(VHF stubby duck)

 I guess these officers are so dedicated that they build their own
extenders in their spare time.

 I find it hard to believe that the CHP in So.Ca does not have these
since our division(coastal) was one of the last to get the new 40cal
duty weapons.

  Granted it is real hard to see the antenna with a quick glance,but it
is there...at least on the units around here.

No flames intended.

 Ignore my followup to your first post where you said that the CHP
motorcycles did'nt have extenders.
 I was (sadly)   unaware that you had already corrected yourself and I
had not noticed yet.

BTW, did you here the one about the CHP recruit that was asked to test
the new CHP aircraft extender??????

Hah!  I suspect you software doodes got it worse off than us hardware
and book/magazine writer types.  Hell, unless you use a complex
copy-protection scheme, it's pretty easy to copy and distribute
software.  A plagiarizer has to go to some extent to copy a book.
They do that, but I bet more software is pirated than books.

In either case, there is darned little by way of enforcement that we
authors can do, aside from whatever protection we can implement at the
onset.  Like in my case, I do not distribute the contents of my books
and magazine articles in electronic text.  If I do something in hard
copy, that's where it stays.

But the best protection of all is honesty and concern by our audiences
and markets.  That's worth more than anything we can do.

BTW, I envy you.  All I know about programming is that it appears on
radio and TV..........  <grin>

I'm interested in a Pro-26.  I've heard that the european version is
unblocked, and have someone who can pick one up if the there are Radio
Shacks in France.  Is this a good idea?  Are there Shacks in France?  Help
me!

Also, what are possible better alternatives to the Pro-26 that I should
consider?  What am I going to regret or like?  I'm very open to opinions
at this point, but I do love my Pro-51 (boy, I'm going to miss the

A while back I posted that my PRO-2005 tuned off frequency (about 15 khz) in the 800 MHz band, while the other
bands seemed fine.  Other people had reported this same problem, so I though I would post my solution.  I got out
the service manual and checked things out.  After a lot of poking around, I started making guesses.  It turns out that
there is a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) that had drifted way off.  I assume that the 800 MHz band was so far off
because the error was multiplied.  After adjusting this oscillator, all is well.

If you take off the bottom cover, you will see two silver RF boxes on the PLL board.  If you pull the cover off the box
that is more toward the center of the radio, you will see a silver component that says 10 MHz and has a hole in it for
adjustment (mine had a clear piece of tape covering the hole).  Since I don't have any real test equipment, I set the
2005 and my R7000 to an active 800 MHz frequency.  I adjusted the 2005 untill the signal came in clear (as clear as
my R7000).  I was affraid that the VHF band might now be off frequency, but it sounds better than ever.  If you don't
have a second scanner just pick a known active 800 MHz frequency (a trunking control channel might work since the
transmission is constant).

You are much better off using a short wave receiver..tune in WWV or WWVH
at 10 Mhz....hold a wire near the 10 Mhz osc in the 2005.
Then just zero-beat the osc to WWV/WWVH.
It is easiest when WWV kills the audio(except for the "ticks", of course).

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

Not only are mods available for free on MANY places on the internet,
but there are many conventional BBS systems across the country that
post the mods.  Log onto one in your area.
If you cannot find the mod you're looking for, try asking the very helpful
people in this newsgroup.  They WILL help.

there is absolutely no reason or need for you to pay for info about a mod.

Are there any international frequencies (e.g. satellites) that I can 'take' in
Holland?

If any, pleaselet me know.

Don't use the term "cellular freqs" to loosely...they receive

Not to mention that the $200 price sucks rocks.  Several people have
reported getting them from discount stores for $160 or so.

I agree (I think).  I don't think that the Sportcat was ever manufactured
to receive cell freqs right out of the box.  If it was, I'm mistaken.  I
do know that they currently have cell freqs blocked.  Yes, you can
monitor the images, but that is a very different thing.

Also, $200 for a new SportCat is no bargain.  I went to Wal-Mart today
looking for a 200-XLT (heard they had some on clearance for $180) and saw
SportCats on sale for $159.95.  I think Communications Electronics in
Michigan has them for the same price.

Just my 3 cents worth...Corrections welcomed.

Come on, that's rediculous.
The sucker is on sale in Canada for only $359.00 CDN and with the
American dollar exchange rate in favur of the U.S., you're asking
what?

Yeah well....you consider the fact that the Pro-2006 is probably
one of the best scanners ever made AND the fact you ain't ever
gonna see'em again...then maybe 335.00 ain't to bad a price......not
a price I would pay but.....if you REALLY have to have a Pro-2006
so be it.....I have 3 of them and would consider a 4th.

 What is $359 CDN in US rates (assuming you can find one in Canada)? I've
seen rough units go for $350 at swap meets and this one is mint. Soon
there will be no new units available anywhere.

I live about 8 miles from a large airport and can only get the planes with
my Pro-51, not the tower, even using the extendable antenna from Radio
Shack on the second floor.  I want to avoid putting an antenna in the
attic or my bedroom (my wife would object) - is there a cheap dipole that
would work indoors?  How do I build it?  I do high voltage substations and
corrections security - not antenna design!  Any tips would be appreciated
- thanks in advance!

 Try searching the 225-380MHz range when you are there.Take a pencil and
make notes on what you hear and program any active frequencies. Have fun!

In one of my freq books it list under "All air shows":
122.750/ 122.850/ 122.900/ 122.925/ 123.100/ 151.625/ 154.540/ 154.570/
464.500/ 464.575

Also, check back over the last few weeks of posts in this newsgroup.
Everyday someone either asks or responds to questions about air shows.

Hopefully this helps!!

That is a good way of putting it, I guess, but instead of a car and a
pickup, maybe a phillips screwdriver and a flat-blade screwdriver.
The two are pretty well very different units.

>In that case, can anyone tell me what an OPTO456 can do?
>This would let me decide on a car or a truck, as it were.

Best I can summarize it is that the Opto takes over and replaces the
scanner's CPU and communicates to an extent with the PC.

The CE-232 does not replace the scanner's CPU; but it controls and
gets data from it to a substantial extent.

The Opto unit makes the scanner go much faster; the CE-232 does not
affect the scanner's operation at all.  The Opto unit lets the scanner
do things not capable by the CPU, while the CE-232 has to operate
within the limitations of the CPU.  The Opto unit cannot do a lot of
physical automation of scanning tasks and almost no generic tasks,
whereas the CE-232 can automate almost every aspect of scanning AND a
number of user-chosen tasks related or unrelated to the scanner.  The
CE-232 AutoPrograms the scanner's memory banks; the Opto unit does
not.  The CE-232 does not need to go with the scanner; the Opto unit
has to.

The CE-232 probably offers more options to the imaginative scannist
than the Opto unit which probably does more off the bat than the
CE-232.  The CE-232 can be made to do most anything within a wide
range of reason; defined or not, while the Opto has limits, even if
wide, that cannot be exceeded.

>Also, in relative terms, how difficult are these two units to install?
>(I have a Pro2006)

I can't speak for the Opto, but the CE-232 can be fairly simplified or
or can be a little complicated.  The complexity is more mechanical
than electrical, though.  It can be installed inside of or external to
the scanner.  If external, then it can be used with a number of
different scanners.  The Opto can work with only the scanner inside of
which it has been installed.

>If there's anyone in the Vancouver BC area who has one of these units,
>I'd love to get your opinions and perhaps see a demo.

I know of three CE-232's in British Columbia, one in Vancouver, one in
Victoria, and one in Fernie.  If you will e-mail me your address
and/or phone number, I will pass it on to them and mention you'd like
to hear from them.

Greetings,

Has anyone successfully used a Cheek HB-232 interface (for a PRO-2006)
with Mac software? I have acquired a mint 2006 with the HB-232 installed
internally. The problem is I don't own a DOS machine.

My options are:

1. Find some way to run it with my Mac.
2. Buy a DOS machine.
3. Sell the scanner.

I prefer #1. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary

I am working on an electronic experiment which will basically
allow me to tap into the audio input of my scanner in such a way
that when their is audio present, it will turn on a relay, then
turn it off when the audio is no longer present.
I have tried different configurations, but none seem to work very
well. One of my main problems is that I do not have a low-level
output, such as an earphone jack. Instead, I must tap into the speaker
lines going directly to the speaker.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

Are there any mods possible on a 220XLT? I've looked at some of the web sites
but have found nothing specific to the 220. I know you can receive SOME
cellular frequencies as images above the band, but are there any magic keypad
sequences that cause the scanner to give up it's block?

As another new 220 owner, I have a question about an audio mod.  I was at
a recent IndyCar race and Racing Electronics was doing some sort of
audio mod to scanners to basically increase the volume.  Cost was ~ $15.
Is this something I can myself to my 220?  What are the drawbacks,
battery drain?

Thanks,
Chris

The 2006 scanners have a problem with desense caused by broadcast
FM.  The cheapest and most effective fix is to cut a coaxial trap
for the offending frequency and place it in the feed line with a
T connector.  The stub will be somewhere around 22 inches long, you
can find the formula in the ARRL hand book.  The stub tuned correctly
should give about 40 db antenuation at the chosen frequency.

Good Luck

Recently, I have become fascinated with the technology of scanners and have
convinced myself that the time has come to purchase one. Before  make the
purchase, I would like to know what some of the best scanners are for less than
$250 Id like to be able to get the most frequencies possible and I would also
like to be able to make as many mods as posible. (Cellular mod is a must).
Thank you for your help. Any info on any scanners would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have two sources for you. Go to the Los Altos Hills Foothill
flea market. Look for a guy selling antenas (of which there
are a few). One of them sells a book of Bay Area freqs called
something like Bay Area Frequencies.

The other alternative is to attend the Bay Area Scanners Enthusiests
club meetings, held at the Milpitas PD community room the 2nd
Monday of the month. The same book is for sale there.

What I was wondering was whether anyone have successfully combined using
a scanner with a PC INTERFACE such as the ICOM?/AOR/FAIRMATE and a PC
SOUND DIGITIZER.. Then one could scan through the channels, when data was
being sent, the PC could record it using the SoundCard..

This solves the problems with tape recorders etc.. which wouldn't be able to
record the channel's frequency or time etc..

The only problem would be the size of your harddrive.. especially if you're
listening into the public services in an area like Merseyside! (Yanks read as Manhattan!)

Cheers. Any comments or emails appreciated..

Using an AOR AR3000A and the AOR Searchlight software you can do
just what you requested.  Audio received during searches can be saved
to WAV files to be played back at a later time.  You can set the length
of the wav file so as not to have huge megabytes eaten up by the
recordings.
The downside of this would be the price (at least to my meager
checkbook).

Let me know if you need more info.

The Maruhama scanners are not sold in the U.S. at all, I have seen them
advertised in British magazines.  Although I do not recall the issue it
was review in an issure of Shortwave magazine probably late 1994 early
1995.  I have talked with a couple of people who tried one and did not
like it at all, performance was poor.  Lots of intermod and a few
unwanted images here and there.  I do not know the specifics but the
two people I talked to when they first came out did not like it at all.

Don't laugh people, I'm not a dyed in
the wool scanner purest as you can
tell, but do use my scanner regularly.
I just want to know if anyone has a
cell phone and/or mod to open up the
frequency range for my Uniden BC 55 xlt
portable scanner.

Is there a key sequence such as for the Pro-51 that puts the 2035 in a test mode where one can scan
the cellular frequencies?  If not, what about any mods to the 2035 to allow the monitoring of the
cellular frequencies.



Thanks,

There are no mods for the 2035 and probably never will be. The 2035 was
introduced after the national cellular scnner ban.

The RS 2035 (the 1000 channel base) will be discontinued and the 2042
will come out in it's place.  The difference will be intellegent search
and store and the VFO knob will tune faster as you turn it faster.
From what I understand all other features will remain the same.  The
Shack is also adding $50 to the price tag.  The PRO 26 and 60 have also
increased in price.
The PRO 63 handheld is also due out in January 1996 but will not be in
the catalog.  This is suppose to be a SportCat like scanner made by
GRE, I do not know any more except the price tag is around $300.

For the SW radio buffs there is also a general coverage tabletop SW
radio due out in November selling for $399.99.  I do not know who is
making it for RS, Drake has denied making it for RS.

It used to be on the 140-141 area..I'll have to check my book but with the new cellular/trunked
radio system, I suspect they would be on the simplex frequencys listed in the Haruteq book.

all is not lost, get a converter that downconverts an 800 mhz frequency
to a 400 mhz frequenc many radios still allow you to modify them by
clipping a diode...there are several books out on scanner
modifications..these are advertised in popular scanner/communications

Uh. . .I might be wrong. . .but I believe that "Radio Shack's Police Call" and
"Gene Hughes' Police Call" are one and the same.  At least, the ones I by from
RS are Gene Hughes' with the RS logo in the corner.  If there's a PC out there
other than GH's, GH oughtta sue.

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

Happy Scanning!!

You are correct about there being a European model. Javiation in

Are there any advantages over AMPS or ETACS?
Is it true that if you go too far away from a site, your voice will

Sure, you don't even have to do the mod. Searching the freqs above or
below the cellular freqs (870-895) will give you some cellulars to
listen to. The 34 is really bad about allowing images to come through.

If you wanted to do the mod, you have to dig pretty deeply into it to
get to the diode that has to be clipped... It's not easy to do, but if
you're handy with a soldering iron, you could probably do it.

If the usual 11A3 mod doesn't work, try the 7A4 one. Recalled 11A3 units

Hello people!

I have an antenna setup that I can't work out...

Situation: I live in a rural area, about 30 miles out of town. I have
made a quad loop antenna cut to 75 Mhz, mounted it on a wall inside the
house, and pointed it towards the city. Brilliant results on 75-76 Mhz,
OK on 485 Mhz, good DX from up to 100 miles away.

Made another quad loop, also cut to 75 Mhz, mounted on an outside mast,
and also pointed towards the city, though in a slightly different
direction.

 /\         /\
/  \       /  \
\  /       \  /
 \/         \/
  |          |_______
  |__________________|---- scanner


Now here is the difficult bit: joined the antennas together using a
computer network T plug. Results? DX signal strength up 50%, "local"
(within 40 miles) at 100%, and performance at 485 Mhz really good.

What have I done? My initial thoughts was that reception _should_ be
awful at 75 Mhz, giving that I have doubled the quad loop.

Any comments?

Regards, Graeme Williams

You want people to be interested in what you offer then try putting it in a

of mods, exspecially since most of the mods your offering are free, and
located on several sites on the Net. At least have the courtesy to put the

First check for two things
     #1 on the receipt check to see if the model # is 20-###a  the little
"a" signifies that this model was to be modified so as not to be able to
pick up cellular. If there is an "a" this means that this radio was to be
sent back to be cellular blocked, however I have found that this has not
been the case on many radios.
     #2 check on the back of the unit for production date it should be
1-12 then and "A" then a # between 0-5  the "A" stands for 199#.  If this
date is after 4A4 then this scanner will not be able to take cellular
modifications, however the remaining mods for that radio should still
work.
     Tberefor the main thing is to check is the production date, if it is
past 4A4 then cellular will probably not be restorable, otherwise you
shouldn't have a problem, unless the "a" is on the receipt and this unit
was sent back..

I was at radio shack today and I saw a PRO51 on sale for 219.99 (regular
319.99) and it had a date code of 10A4 I wanted to know if this is old enough
for cellular mod and if any other mods are available. Also I would like any
opinions that anyone has on this particular model, as I am willing to purchase
it if it gets a good rep from you guys. Send any and all info ASAp (only one
with datecode 10A4) by email to [e-mail] or post to the newsgroup, but I
would prefer email. (faster).

Thanks alot.

I found one of those Oberon scanners - the thing manually scans one line at a
time, using a plastic guide attached to a plastic base - powered by a very
nice, "regulated" 120vac -> 12vdc convertor. The plug fits the 2006 perfectly.
Just unplug the power cord on the 2006, use something like this, and the
infamous 'heat' problem is gone. Oh, I paid $5 for the thing....junked the
main unit for eproms and assorted parts and connectors....maybe someone else
has found a source of good, but cheap, power to get the transformer out the
case....

I have the SBE OptiScan, and it is a very good scanner.
I keep mine on 24 hrs a day tuned to the local police and
sheriff's freq's and also fire department.

It has excellent sound quality, and is a nice scanner if you
don't have to constantly chg freq's.

Well, I've got one for sale for $50 + shipping if anyone wants it.  Comes
with the programmable cards (about 10 or 12), the owners manual, and I
think that I even have a service manual for it.  This model was SBE
factory tweaked to receive the 2-meter ham frequencies (normally it
started at 150 MHz).  It was quite the innovative unit in its time.

Does anyone know the number of any scanner BBS's in Seattle?

Thanks,

I have worked lots of radio both ham and scanner at three of four Disney
parks.  At Disney, they only ask that you do not TX while on rides.  That
also includes cell phones.  However, you can monitor what ever you want,
when ever you want.  If someone complains about your activity, security may
give you a problem.  In fact, Disney ARC has a repeater at the original
Disneyland in Anaheim.  For years it was in the maderhorn, now it is at the
hotel.  146.940, I forget the pl.

I would strongly agree that if you lose your radio on a ride, too bad.  I
have always left my radio with the folks that don't like speed rides.  I
have also never heard any communications about rides for "normal operation".
For example, maint. is dispatched, but not the cars on the ride.  The only
exception being the monarail.

Good luck

I forget which tower the machine is on, I figured it out at one time
but have now forgotten.  With absolutely no conviction I'll say it's
on the Bonita tower.

Remember, Bruins are people too (according to rumor).

hey, I used to live in Palmdale!!

I took my AOR- scanner with me on a trip to Knotts berry farm, I either
had the unit on my belt using the belt clip or in my back pocket. I
remember riding a cork screw roller coaster while I was listening to
something on the scanner. I had an ear piece firmly in my left ear. The
coasterwent through its serries of loops and turns, the ear piece stayed
in my ear. When i exited the ride, one of the ride operators said
something to me about the ear piece.

Disneyland can be interesting to monitor as can knotts berry farm. I have
the frequencies for most southland amusement parks in my database
JOHN in Phoenix!!

I worked at the ARCO Engineering center in Anaheim for several years!!

I believe that you'd be OK taking your scanner along except if you also
had a freq. counter with you. Those things really get the stares.

BTW: I've taken my scanner to the Metrodome during the 7th game of the
1991 World Series (Minnesota Twins vs. Atlanta Braves). I monitored the
Minneapolis Police, Hennepin County Sheriff, ABC TV/Radio mobile units,
Metrodome security/concessions, and KSTP TV's mobile unit. At this game,
I also took along my handheld colour TV

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

i have to speak up on this one...

i have played with radios for the past 12 years of my life.  aside from
scanning, being an amateur radio operator, and occasional call-chasing
(mainly brush fires, which i usually end up helping people whose homes
are in the path of the fire evacuate from the area), i consider myself
quite normal.  i was somewhat active in sports, i excercise by riding my
mountain bike, listen to pretty much the same music many of the people i
know do, dressed "in-style" when i was in high school, etc.,.  my
unwillingness to completely conform, though, by hating cops like the
people i hung out with did, drink and do drugs like them, or break the
law performing such activities as they did made me unpopular in the end.

i really hate it when people see you in public with a radio of any kind
and automatically make the assumption that you're a cop or narc.  i have
no problem walking into ANY facility with one of my radios.  i do it
frequently (almost always for that matter).  people give you odd looks
though.  it's a nice deterrent to keep the little gangmembers away from
you.  they take the cop thing seriously and think that if they f*** up
in front of you that they'll get canned.  it does keep women away from
you, which is a definate negative aspect.  then again, the women i meet
when i don't have a radio with me turn out to be pretty shallow once
they find out i play with the things.  the women i do go out with don't
think twice about the toys i have and what impact they have on the
relationship.  they're too intelligent to let something like that get in
the way of their better judgement.

in the end, i find the root of the problems to be the same.  people
aren't educated enough, nor do they care enough to find out why you have
something like a scanner or 2-way radio with you.  many people i have as
friends at one time thought all the radio equipment was worthless and
served no purpose other than being high-tech "nerd" toys.  after they
hung out with me a while and i translated some of what was being said
over the radio for them, many became interested.  two of my friends went
so far as to get ham licenses themselves and several more went out and
got scanners for themselves.

i'm sure that if many people were just exposed to the hobby, they'd
change their minds or attitudes some.  i could be wrong though...

For those with satellite dishes, the following may be of interest:

Operation "Cooperative Nugget" commenced 8-6-95 at Fort Polk,
Louisiana.  14 former Communist Mid/Eastern European nations are
participating.

8-8-95 will see the opening ceremonies, to be attended by SecDef Perry
and some senior NATO officials.  The opening ceremonies will include an
olympic style ceremony in which troops parade under each of their
country's flag.

A daily highlight will be transmitted via satellite:

August 6 - 22, SpaceNet2, KU band, transponder 24, 1 PM-2PM EDT.

August 23- 24, SpaceNet2, KU band, transponder 22, 1 PM-2PM EDT.

There may not be anything interesting in your area, but try searching the
band (especially 42.02-42.94 and 46.06-46.50) between May and August.
You might just find yourself hearing signals from hundreds or thousands
of miles away.

 The military (Army, ANG) is very frequently found in the following ranges:

30-30.56 Mhz
32-33
34-35
36-37
38-39
40-42

Here in Maryland the ANG A10's out of Martin State AP are always found
in the 38-39 and 40-42 Mhz ranges doing live fire training at Aberdeen Proving
Grounds.

Pick up a military frequency directory or set your scanner to search each
of the above during the day and leave a remote VOX tape recorder on
and sit back and enjoy the action.

Also try the 33-34, 37-38, and 39-40 MHz band.  I have quite a bit of
luck especially in the 33-34 band from Pennsylvania.  I have logged
several fire and EMS departments.
Give it a try, it can be fun trying to match what city the broadcast
you just heard came from.

Jean

to list a few things:


Police, fire, emergency medical, most types of public safety, air
traffic, cordless phones, cellular phones ( both cordless and cellular
being illegal to scan in the U.S.), military bases (if you are near
one), taxi cabs, highway maintinance crews, tow trucks, most any type
of business that uses two way radio, federal government like FBI,
Secret Service, military bases (although most Federal Communications
are now scrambled), security agencies, shopping malls, boating activity
on lakes, rivers, and ocean going etc.  Some scanners will pick up TV
sound.  Skip or tropo scanning, trying to pick up distant signals from
several hundred miles away.
There are probably many more things I missed.

You forgot frequencies for the drive up windows to most fast food places,

and you will hear literaly hundreds of signals crammed into that tiny
space.

Odd thing with my RS Pro-2005 a diode fell out of it when it clipped the

I'd like to know how you came up with that figure. I've seen higher asking
prices, and in fact sold my Pro51 for $200 (it was mint) a few months ago.

PRO-43's in excellent condition are going for $200.00. The 43 also receives
cellular mobiles, not just the base cell sites. The 43 is also triple
conversion and is a much better scanner than the pro-51. The pro-51 scans
fast and receives alot of images. That is about it!
Good luck and good scanning,

I sold my pro51 for $200 a few months ago.  I had modded it for cell,
increased audio, squelch tail and keyboard beep.

Some Amateur Radio DX clubs operate repeaters which are used to
post DX spots or announcements. What you heard was a synthesized
voice which used information posted to a packet radio "DX PacketCluster"
node by DX'er hams around the country. The packet radio data is used
to drive the voice synth for hams not using packet radio. The
DX PacketCluster system is used to post info on rare or interesting
DX or special stations or conditions.
the announcements:
> Victor Kilo 3 Bravo Kilo Uniform  7004.9

> Victor 73 Alpha  14315.0

> Zulu Kilo 1 Papa November 7012.7
> Zulu Kilo 99  1846.0

> Victor Kilo 3 Hotel Whiskey 7164.9

showed that VK3BKU was on 7004.9 kHz    (Australia on 40 Meter band)
            V73A  on 14315 kHz  (South Pacific on 20M)
            ZK1PN on 7012.7     (South Pacific 40M)
etc.

Hello,

     My name is Josh and thanks for reading my post.  I need to get a
scanner with 800 MHz, commercial aircraft, at least 50 channels and
preferable handheld.  I am 14 years old and while you're still listening
I may as well tell you that I'm looking for a scanner because I would
like to have one before I get into HAM radio.  Used is fine, as long as
it works and has a manual.  I have VERY LITTLE cash (I applaud your
efforts if you are reading beyond this point) but I DO HAVE TWO COMPUTER
PROGRAMS WORTH $150 EACH WITH BOX, MANUAL, ETC. WHICH I AM MORE THAN
WILLING TO PART WITH.  Don't waste your time or mine if you're not
serious.  Come on guys.  Help me out here!!!

Respond here or reply by email.

Thank you,
Josh

Troop E has moved to the statewide NJSP trunked system. They have two

In the February 1995 issue of Monitoring Times, page 26, there is a four page
article dealing with this problem, and solving it.  It is complete with
instructions, parts source, before and after tests, etc.  A professional, well
thought out, and well written piece of work.

Well it's time to upgrade my scanner from a RS pro 34 with cell to either
an AOR 2700 or 8000.   What is the main difference between these two
scanners to warrant the price difference?  Where can I purchase these
scanners with full coverage and at a decent selling price?  Before I do
make the leap I want to be sure it will be worth the several hundred dollar
investment involved.  Thanks and happy scanning to all.   Keith

I upgraded my Pro 43 to the 8000. I am 100% satisfied with it. I chose it over the
2700 due several reasons. A larger display. Text entry for every channel.
Reception to 1999.999 Mhz vs. 1300 Mhz. The 2700 has 500 channels, 8000 has
1000. Both are easily controlled by computer interface. The 8000 doesn't have an
option for musical notes via the keypad and I am not aware of an optional Digital
voice recording feature for the 8000.

The AOR AR2700 I tested had a lot of internally generated noise,
especially on the VHF-low and VHF-high bands.  Too, it was
hampered with an insensitive squelch.  The combined effect was a
scanner which frequently stopped on birdies or skipped past
important, but weaker signals I wanted to hear.

The AR2700 block diagram indicates use of a carrier operated
squelch rather than the more sensitive noise operated squelch
as found in the AR8000 and most other scanners.

A full AR2700 review is scheduled to appear in Monitoring Times
magazine.

Well i try to. I have made small devices to control my own AR3000A's to listen
to swedish cellulars. (NMT) with decode of phone number and channel switch
tracking. If my memory serves me right this should be the connector of the
AOR, as read in the AOR3000A manual on page 48
AOR-1 (frame ground)    PC-1
AOR-2 (data to aor)     PC-2
AOR-3 (data from aor)   PC-3
AOR-4 (flow control )   PC-4
AOR-5 (flow control )   PC-5
AOR-7 (Ground)          PC-7
I would recomend that you short AOR-4 and AOR-5 and dont connect them to the pc
also on AOR3000 (not A) i think you must short AOR-1 and AOR-7
for flow control wait for the prompt to return with timeout.

I would like to use my equipment to control my AOR8000 anyone that known the
protocol and connections. ??

Charles,

     I own an R-5000.  I have had it for 3 years and I love it.  Kenwood,
in my opinion, makes very reliable and durable products.  I still have my
R-600 that I bought over 10 years ago.  That unit saw some very long and
heavy use and it served me well.  It still works - my brother used it for
a few years before he upgraded to a Yeasu 100.

     The features of the R-5000 I find to be very good.  The notch filter,
RF gain, settable AGC, RF Attenuator from 0 to -30dB in 10 dB steps, and
the IF shift control provide most of the tools that you need to fish just
about any signal out of the mud.  It has 100 tunable memories, which I
find to be much more than enough.  The memories store everything from mode
to antenna.  The "user interface" is a bit cumbersome.  It is not
intuitive as to how to add entries into memories, shift a memory into the
VFO, etc., but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty simple.

     I find it to be very stable.  For broadcast listening, I often shift
to USB or LSB to avoid some adjacent channel interference.  There is
virtually no drift.  I can listen to an entire 60 minute broadcast without
having to re-adjust the tuning dial.  The audio, when in this mode, is
quite acceptable also.  For this reason, it makes for a very good
broadcast listening radio in addition to a good DX-ing unit.

     If you buy one of these units, I recommend that you get the YK-88A-1
filter upgrade.  It significantly enhances the selectivity.  Even without
it though, it is a very good unit.  You may want to check out the used
market - that is how I got mine.  It has been around for quite a number of
years so there should be a significant number of them out there for sale.
It has increased in price over the years (it's now $1K).  Depending on
your budget, you may want to persue this option.  It is such a reliable
unit that, provided the previous owner took good care of it, you should
have no problems even with a used unit.

     For your reference, my listening habits are DX-ing, broadcast
listening, and some utility DX-ing.

     Please let me know if you have any specific questions about the
R-5000.

Rich Maggio

Anybody know the HF freqs being used by aircraft to and from Aviano,
Italy, eg for "Deny Flight" and other Bosnia-related flights?

Ric,

You're probably hearing Albuquerque CENTER, which control high-level
flights (above 14,000'?) in the area for hundreds of miles around and they
probably have a considerably more powerful transmitter than any tower
would.  They also communicate from a number of different transmission
sites scattered throughout the area, so one may actually be very close to
you.

The tower is transmitting to planes either very close to it on the ground
or further away but up in the air.  VHF transmissions are limited by
line-of-sight, so if you're on the ground you probably won't receive them
more than a few miles from the airport.

Military frequencies are in a band outside the 108-136 MHz range of your
scanner, although they may communicate in this "civilian" band as well.
My list of Blue Angels frequencies follows, but as you can see most are
outside your band (the first 3 are probably just specific to the airport
they're flying on).  They also transmit in AM on what's normally an FM
frequency or vice-versa (I can't recall) so you need a scanner that allows
you to override the normal default modulation method.  I use a Radio Shack
Pro-43, which covers the military band and lets me control AM/FM reception
manually.  It's a very nice scanner.  I hear some models (without an "A"
in their model number) can even be converted to receive cellular phone
transmissions, but if you DO make that simple modification you should be
aware that listening to those frequencies is illegal in this country...

Hope that helps,
-Patrick Penzias Dirks.

this week - either might be used in the actual shows, or both might.

Note that not all frequencies are used at every airshow, there are a
lot of "alternate" channels, to avoid local users on a given channel.
Also, during practice, channel usage does NOT conform to actual airshow
usage - for instance, 263.350 may be used as air to air, instead of just
for calling the mechs on the ground to request repairs on landing.

Don't count on usage listings above - things change, or may have been
incorrectly reported.

    I just learned from my local radio doctor and personal friend that it is
no longer possible to send a BEARCAT 800XLT back to the factory for service.

   They won't do it.  Obviously they don't want anyone getting a cellular
capable scanner fixed, should it break.


   So, should you have one of these fine scanners, hold on to it, and, if
possible, get a spare.  I have heard that the gov't is relying on cellular
quite a bit during these recent "disasters" around the country.  They closed
off cellular coverage to civilians during the first hours of the Oklahoma
bombing.




FYI.

I'm looking for a good quality mobile or handheld scanner.  I need it to
have 800mhz capability plus the option of using an AC adapter with it.
The price range I'm looking in is around $200.

Is the Uniden BC-T7 a good chioce for this?

IF you can find one for sale and since you are on the internet I know you
must have a computer, try finding yourself a Uniden MR8100.  This scanner
was designed and built for the California Highway Patrol.  It is both field and
computer programmable with the later allowing alpha/numerics.  It has 100
channels in banks of 10.  It also slightly resembles a Motorola Spectra.  The
thing I like about it the most is the alpha display.  No more racking your
brains saying is 418.625 the DEA or FBI.  If you can find one WITH disk and
cables, you shouldn't pay more than $200.00 for it.

The PRO 2006 is in my opinion, the "king" of scanners.  400 channels
(which I haven't filled up yet), Easily modified, compact, 13.8v or 120v
power.  Tape out jack, headphone jack, attenuation switch for strong
signals.  Radio Shack discontinued them BECAUSE they were so easily
modifiable--the cell mod anyway!

That is correct.  Federal law prohibits the receiving of cellular
conversations.  Tandy had to comply with the law.

Rest assured Chicago PD still remains quite active from 460 to 460.500 Mhz

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

known as EDACS works??  The local GE dealer doesn't wanna take the

trunking, but I've heard alot about what the EDACS system can do above

Try contacting Ericsson/GE at 1-800-GE-12345.  They might be able to help
you or at least point you in the right direction.  I would also like to
comment on your remark about the GE dealer... I don't understand it but
it seems as though unless they feel that they are going to get a sale the
Ericsson/GE dealers really stick their noses in the air about helping
people with general questions while Motorola dealers tend to bend over
backwards to help.  You would think that since many people and
organizations are looking to leave Motorola due to their pricing that the
GE dealers would do anything possible so as to attract people to buy
their product beacuse of their "customer service" but it doesn't look
that way.

You can buy a European (uncut Pro26) from Javiation. Their phone number is
011-44-1-274-732146 and are located in Northern England. Delivery takes just
3 days to the USA.

It scans twice as fast as the Pro51 since it autosorts by frequency. And it
can scan up to 3 times as fast as the Pro51 (while in 5kHz steps).

Ironically, even though the US price for the Pro26 is now $450 plus tax, the
price from the UK translates to only $400, including shipping. Import tariff
(due at time of delivery!) is about $25 cash.

I'm looking for a complete list of fast food frequencies.  I have been
trying to find the frequency for the Chic-Fil-A here in town and have
been getting nothing, even from other restaurants close by.  I looked on
the back of the drive thru belt pack and there was no frequency there.
Any suggestions?

$200.00 and you pay shipping.
Radio is 6 months old.
Gets all the bands through 950 mhz..much of it continuous tuning with
dial know..adjustable step...200 channels, turbo scan, orange backlit
led display (looks great in the day and night), comes with original
box and manuals.

I am the original owner.

Radio does get military aircraft 300mhz range,
also has auto weather button and weather alarm which will blow you out
of the house (sounds like an air raid siren).

Only serious buyers inquire.

All inquires should be addressed to 707-546-4170.

First buyer gets the radio.

Radio is in MINT condition w/ no scratches.

Thanks
Jay

having as much scanner-related material as possible on it. Something like

     Ok,  Since I haven't seen it posted yet.   There is a newer version
of the SCANList for Denver and the Front Range available.  Call the
NCC-1701 ENTERPRISE @ 303-659-8294 or 970-785-0217 (FidoNet 1:104/769) and
either go to the Radio Room and DnLd it (SCAN9502.TXT) or do a F'Req for
SCANLIST.

I have a Yupiteru 7100 scanner and can change the increment steps
in scanning ... it will scan in 1, 5, 6,25,9, 10, 12.5, 20,
25, 50 and 100 khz.....

im concerned that by setting the increment too large, i would easily
miss transmissions.

my question is: what is the best increment for scanning:
-- police, ambulance etc
--aviation,
--cellular (its legal in canada)

many thanks

Anyone interested in buying my Pro2006 with Optoscan 456? I'd like to buy
an AOR8000 but I need to scrap up some dough. That should give you an idea
about what sort of offer I'm looking for! The units are pristine and in
good as new condition (scanner is one year old; Opto was installed last
week). In fact, you would swear that this combination had been driven by a
little old lady only on Sundays.

Actually, we have one here in Raleigh that meets on the
third Monday of each month at Mr B's on Western Blvd.
Other Mondays there is a net on 146.640 (I think) at
9:30 pm.

Hope this helps.

Someone please help!
I've had two offers on a RS scanner with unblocked cellular ranges.
I've seen authoratative, official-sounding messages here on both sides:
YES - it's legal to sell it
NO  - it's not legal to sell it.

Does anyone out there know for sure?
Please help if you can.

First of all, I am new to this -- looking to get in and play with it a
bit before spending too much actual cash (which I don't have right now).
However, I do have some very decent equipment (from other such ventures
that I am now not as interested in) that I would be willing to trade.
So, here is my list.  If you are interested in anything on it and have a
handheld scanner/tranceiver that you would like to trade, please let me
know and give me the details of your equipment...  Thanks!  Here's the list:

 - Sun CG4 video card (works great!)

 - Sun shoeboxes with various hard drive sizes & tape drives

 - 1x8 or 1x9, 30-pin SIMMs.  Quantity and speed depends on what you
   have to trade, of course.

 - 340MB SCSI hard drive, 5.25", internal

 - Zypher for IBM-compatibles (on CD-ROM, manuals & box included)

 - ComputerEyes/RT Color Frame Grabber; ISA 8-bit card; composite color
   (or b/w) or S-Video input; real-time 1/30th second image capture; live
   action preview; 512x512 capture resolution; 24-bit color; (This is new!
   I used it for about two days, but then started working on another
   project and have had it in its original box ever since!); software
   included (DOS & Windows)

 - "Hayes for ISDN" -- ISDN System Adapter; supports AT&T 5ESS and NT
   DMS-100; RS-232 or V.35 serial interface; 64kbps B-channel; voice
   B-channel; D-channel data (up to 8 X.25 packet switched data sessions);
   Analog interface (i.e. telephone/modem/whatever RJ-11 break-out plug);
   (This is also new!  I bought it, but now GTE is still sitting around
   trying to decide when they are going to offer us ISDN service!)

 - NCD X-Terminal ("Model 16"); 5MB RAM; Keyboard & Mouse included
   This isn't a "self-booting" kind -- in other words, it needs to
   be remote booted; the original software and manual for doing that
   are included

 - SMC EtherCard PLUS Elite (8-bit networking card; AUI & BNC connectors)

 - NEC External 1x CD-ROM drive, SCSI (Single Centronics-SCSI connector);
   Stereo headphone jack with volume control on front; includes power
   supply

 - Mitsumi internal double-spin CD-ROM drive.  This is a brand-new
   CD-ROM drive; it was pulled from a machine that I put a 4x in
   immediately after purchase.  It uses the ATAPI IDE standard to
   control it -- which means that it should just connect to your
   current IDE hard drive controller; a little IDE controller can
   also be included to use instead just to be sure!

 - GoldenImage 200-800dpi hand scanner; 32-color greyscale; includes ISA
   interface card & software

 - NeXTcube 68030 motherboard (MathCo & DSP included; no RAM)

Thanks!

 - John...

A friend has asked me for some help with her Bearcat 210XL.  I've traced
down a few problems with the scanner already and have fixed those.
However, she does not have a manual.  Could someone please let me know the
proper method for using the search functions (search, limit, and hold)?

Thanks for your kind help.

I have the same problem.  I have an FM broadcast station about 4 miles
from my house that completely wipes out 108 to 200 Mhz.  I put a T -
connector on the back of the radio, and made an FM trap out of a piece of
wire and a small variable capacitor.  The coil is 1.5 turns of #22 wire
on a quarter inch diameter form.  The variable cap is a flat cermaic
type, somewhere between 5 and 30 pf, I think.  It was just one out of the
scrap box that I had.

Construction is simple, put the coil in series with the cap.  Make all
connections as short as possible.  I just crimped a BNC connector on a
short stub of coax, stripped the other end and soldered everything on.  I
didn't even need shielding or anything.

Tuning was simple for me, since it wiped out my local weather frequency
as well.  I plugged it in, and tuned for the best sounding signal.


Good luck, and let me know if you find something better.

I've got a Tropez 900 (also passes as an ATT) that can be scanned, but
since the link is digital, all you hear is a buzz.  Just as secure as
spread spectrum from eavesdropping, although you can find it.

shorter antenna--->higher frequency.

Rubber ducks are coiled on the inside so it gets a little harder
with those.

I just started scanning the Mass State Police in Northeast Mass. I've

I am trying to gather a list of MEG (Metropolitan Enforcement Group)

middle to lower part of the state, but I'll take them from Chicago and
other parts of the state as well.

operates 24 hours a day, however the out-of-state greaters occurring
overnight are not paged out until morning.

An optional alternative service, FIRENET LITE, pages out only local
greater alarms, 24 hours a day.

The pager can also be used as a normal numeric pager, whereby, someone
can call the pager number and key a numeric message (such as a phone
number that you should call) through their telephone keypad. Great for
family, friends or employer to get hold of you.

Cost is $15 per month.  E-mail me if you want more information.

The UPD we make does exactly what you are looking for. Decodes two-tone pages as a stand-alone unit and
activates outputs when code is detected. Momentary, latch, timed, etc.

You can get additional information on it at http://www.winternet.com/~genave/newstuf.html

Just bought a new BC9000XLT. It's really a quality scanner.
But I just noticed that it, and apparently all, scanners doesn't (don'e)
cover the range 550 - 760 MHz. How come?????

I am picking up some personal phone conversations on the range
(approx) 364 - 371 MHz. This isn't cellular and I couldn't detect my
own cordless phone in this range. What am I picking up??

I know it's a long list, but anyone willing to send me the complete
frequency listing for all 40 CB channels and all the marine channels?

How 'bout the 10 cordless phone channels?

Thanks for your help

Doug Brooks

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



Standard C.B. freqs

1 26.965    11 27.085   21 27.215   31 27.315
2 26.975    12 27.105   22 27.225   32 27.325
3 26.985    13 27.115   23 27.255   33 27.335
4 27.005    14 27.125   24 27.235   34 27.345
5 27.015    15 27.135   25 27.245   35 27.355
6 27.025    16 27.155   26 27.265   36 27.365
7 27.035    17 27.165   27 27.275   37 27.375
8 27.055    18 27.175   28 27.285   38 27.385
9 27.065    19 27.185   29 27.295   39 27.395
10 27.075   20 27.205   30 27.305   40 27.405


Here's the C.B. frequencies. you should also search between the
channels because a lot of C.Bers have modified radios. mayby someone
else will post the cordless phone freqs. because I don't know the new
900 mhz frequencies
                                        Hope this helps

I've heard this designation used over the milair band, and was wondering

Is this possibly a NORAD installation, or some training faction of the
Air Force? I'm in northeast NJ.

Does anyone know if there will be an update?  Or whether there is a

I would appreciate any and all help.

I took the plunge and bought the full Scanblaster Kit from OptoElectronics. It
includes the Opto 456, the Scout frequency counter, a CX-12 computer interface
box, some notch filters, and a few antennas, and some sample software to give
you a taste of what's out there. The cost was 999.00. They do sell the Opto 456
separatley too, but I have an AOR 8000 that connected quite nicely to the Scout.

Jim,

It has been a year since I moved from Penscola but the city and county
police were located between 460.0 and 460.5 and the Highway Patrol was
located at 154.920 and 154.695. I hope this helps.

I think you are absolutely right.  That is one reason that I get irritated
when the news media falsely portrays scanning as something done only by
telephone eavesdroppers and hardened criminals.  Whenever I discuss
scanning with an uninitiated person, the first question they usually
ask me is "Isn't it illegal to listen to the police/fire dept/etc?"  I
don't know what can be done to remedy the misconceptions that people have
about the scanning hobby, but it would be nice if the news media didn't
make it worse.

GREAT...finally someone brought something that has been bugging me since
I got a scanner.

I live in Boulder, land of narcotics and paranoid people.  I am trying to
shoot spot news for a local paper and thus require a scanner.

Unfortunately, the combination of camera and scanner have brought on a
lot of annoying questions like:  "Why are you taking pictures?"  "You're

business).  I talked to a cop and he said that they know who the druggies

They often want to fight(altho saying peace, and love and that stupid

Maybe they need to be educated in scanners.

<< I live in Boulder, land of narcotics and paranoid people.  I am trying
to
shoot spot news for a local paper and thus require a scanner.

      Ah, yes...  The `People's Republic of Boulder'.  {BSE GRIN!}

Unfortunately, the combination of camera and scanner have brought on a
lot of annoying questions like:  "Why are you taking pictures?"  "You're
a narc, arent you?"  "Are you working for the CIA/FBI/BIF/Police etc...."
They all seem to know what a scanner is, but for some reason, never seem

      Hoo Boy!  I know those questions all too well.  {GRIN!}  Depending
upon the circumstances I either tell them that I'm a `concerned citizen'
or that I work for the UFP (United Federation of Planets).  {CHORTLE!}

Many of these questions come from those fucking hippies who are paranoid

^^^^^^^
     Watch it!  I resemble that remark!

because 1:  they smoke too much weed  2:  they have a reason to be(drug

      I'd like to clarify something here.  Those `fucking hippies' you are
so eager to `bad mouth' are *not* hippies!  Those are `street people' (A
`fancy' term for vagrants.) and have been in the city for longer than I
care to remember.  When the `hippy' `movement' was in fashion they were
not considered to be a part of it and they are still not a part of it!  As
for their `paranoia?'...  I *don't* think that smoking too much `weed' has
much to do with it.  Doing some of the shit that passes for drugs these
days, pushing (NOTE!  I said PUSHING!  NOT dealing!  There *is* a
difference even to this day!) what passes for drugs, and a whole lot more
illegal activities are what make them paranoid.  You best bet for `living?
with them is to just blow them off as a bunch of fooles who will
eventually get their `just desert'.  {CHORTLE!}  (As for that `stupid?'
handsign...  Be glad that they use that rather than that other handsign or
something more violent.  [Yeah, I *know* that a few of them can be pretty
feisty at times, too.  Just remember that they might be so numb that
you'll have to almost break their skull to put them out and be ready to do
it if you have to.])

Maybe they need to be educated in scanners.   >>

     Nah.  With *those* there's nothing much left to `educate'.  {GRIN!}
They've willingly burned themselves out and gone over to the `dark side'.
 Now...  With the rest of the `public'...  I agree.  And...  I'm always
working to try and educate them about scanning, scanners, SWLing, and
other radio related topics.  I've only had a couple of Boulder PD
officers, a couple of Boulder Co SO officers, a couple of Longmont PD
officers, and (at this point in time.) not one Weld Co SO officer or CSP
officer *not* understand why I carry a scanner.  In most all of the cases
when I'm asked about the radio, if I have the time, I explain *very
carefully* what it is and why I carry it.  (There are always a few cases
where no matter what you try it seems to just not make any `impression'.
{BSE GRIN!}  And for those cases where I *do* seem to have made and
`impression' I also try and get them, if they have a computer and modem,
to call my BBS and join in the discussions we have in the Denver Me

Well actually Robert he writes both of them. He has for 30 some years,
I've visited him at his home several times.
He writes Police Call for all of the states and only in Southern Calif
does he have another book. It's called Police Call Radio Guide Southern
California Detail Edition. He calls it GeneHughes' Original (So people
will make the connection to his 30 some year old Police Call sold at
Radio Shacks)

Trust me the books are written by the same guy. So when you flame Police
Call you're flaming both.

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

Robert

Just a note on the PRO 2035, if you want one get one fairly soon they
are already out of production in favor of the RS 2042 which will take
it's place and cost $50 more.  The 2042 will add intellegent search and
store and a variable rate tuning knob.
I would lean toward the AOR 8000 due to it's broader coverage and
excellent performance.  The 8000 is computer controllable with the
addition of software and an interface.  If you went so far as to buy an
OptoElectronics Scout you could reaction tune the 8000.  The 2035 can
also be computer controlled using the OptoElectronics add on board and
software.  There is software coming out for the 2035 and Opto board
that will scan in the area of 100+ frequencies per second.

  I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these.
  Can anyone recommend (or not) a Radio Shack Pro 51.
  They are on sale until september for $219.00 (unadvertised - i think)
and usually   go for $300.00.  The radio can receive up to the 956 Mhz.
Is this good ?

  This is all new to me.  Any info will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Juan

I have checked the Oakland Archives and looked around for
some time for mods for the Radio Shack 2024. No luck...

Is anyone aware of mods for this 60 ch. scanner?

Do the 2,9 BAND trick (where the scanner repeatedly lights up all the
display segments) and THEN do the 2,9 L/O trick while that's happening. Within
about half a second, the scanner will stop lighting up display segments and
will revert to scanning Test Mode freqs. These will include 888.96MHz in the
cellular band.

I've never had a problem.  If it concerns you, please consider running it on 12

Since this is stated as fact, I presume you have data which shows that the
2006's life is significantly shortened by the heat generated from the
internal transformer.  Could you share this data with the group?

My PRO-26 has excellent sensitivity and pulls in those weak stations
from quite a distance.  However if there is one drawback it is the
audio, which is on the weak side.  I simply added an amplified speaker
to my car for mobile purposes...problem solved!

I'm curious about the differences between these 2 radios, the
Tandy PRO51 and the PRO26.  Obviously, the PRO26 can tune in
more freqs, but what's the difference in sound quality.  I had
a PRO46 a while back, which worked very well, just didn't scan
that fast.  I traded it for a PRO51, and I have noticed GREATLY
decreased reception in my car, and in fringe areas, throughout
all bands.  I even went to the trouble of buying a better
antenna, and swapping the radio in case it was just bad.  Would
the PRO26, a much more expensive radio, pull in the channels
better.  Any ideas?  I don't care that much about cellular
reception, although I like listening to images from time to

can quit having to listen to SOOO much static...

Any Ideas, Comments, or Testimonials?

You're right, it can be interesting.  But you do have to find the
right freqs to listen to.  I'm in the military and monitor quite a
bit of traffic from the bases around Oahu, where I am.

Police Call, or your local radio stores are a good source of freqs.
(Even Radio Shack has freq lists at some stores.)

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

         I just acquired an old Realistic COMP-100 scanner at a hamfest,
and I need instructions on programming it. The only documentation I received
with the scanner was the service manual, which does not give complete
programming directions, and makes references to pages in the owner's manual
for more concise instructions. If anyone has had any experience with this
scanner, and can help with the programming, I would appreciate it. Please
email or post replies, either one is fine.

       Thanks in advance.

These are what are known as 'itinerant' frequencies. They are the ones
that are plugged into those VHF walkie talkes like the ones you can buy
at Sams Club or through the MCM catalog. You need a license to use
these, but it's not the kind of license you study and take tests to get.
You just snail-mail this license form that comes with the walkie-talkie
when you buy it. I know that these walkie-talkies are used at the
Wal-Mart in my area. The managers use those to talk around the sales
floor and stockroom, they use the 'green-dot' frequency of 154.6. The
'red-dot' frequency you mentioned is used by the PGA for TV/press
coordination during golf tournaments.

Anyone know what PL tone frequencies these things use?  And do the UHF

specifically for information on the Motorola Radius 110 units.

It's also the kind of license that most of the users don't bother with.
I'll bet less than 10% of 'em are licensed!  Sure don't hear many call

your noise problem can comming from one of two directions. The first is
from the power supply side. second is RF. generated noise from the veh.
ie. spark plugs, ABS or other computer in your veh.

To tell what side the noise is comming from start the veh. listen for the
noise,then remove the ant. from the back of the scanner. If the noise
continues it is from the power supply. To fix this problem confirm the
unit has a good direct ground. (not to another ground wire, or with a
screw mounted through carpet or plastic)  Next take the +12V wire directly
to the veh. battery. If the noise is still happens you   will need to get
choke filter/power filter  from a local  2-Way shop

If the noise stops when you disconnect the ant. connector that it. to fix
this check your ant.coax and connectors for tightness and corostion.
Second try moving the
ant to a diffrent location on the veh. (From front fender to back). if
still there try new ant (larson nmoq full rod or maxrad bmax 1000)

good luck


Dave

When I visited Paramount's Great America in San Jose recently, they
wouldn't let me bring my HT in until I told them it was a fire dept
radio - which it is (I'm a Fireman), but I also have 2 meter freqs
poked in there.  ;-)   I had heard they didn't let people bring radios
in...

When I visited Disneyland last year, they were great.  No hassles at
all.  And the radios were invaluable in keeping me and the wife
(KB7PXL) in touch throughout the days we were there.

Anyway, the answer is, they are illegal.

As of The Telecommunications Authority of Singapore Act (Chapter 323) (No.

First Schedule (Covering Regulations 20 and 23)

Telecommunication Equiptment The Import, Manufacture, Sale, Offer or

1. Scanning Receivers
2. Military Communication Equiptment
3. Scramblers, Speech Invertors, On-line Cyphering Equiptment
4. Telephone Voice Changing Equiptment
5. Automatic Call Diverters

A scanner falls under 1. Then again, if you think about my, so does my TV
and Hi-fi set with a tuner.

PS: I'm too lazy to type in Reg 20 & 23... You can pickup a copy of the act
at the Govt printers. ;)

Knowing that I am a scanner buff, a friend of my that is involved in a local
rescue squad has asked me to provide him with 15-20 of the most important
frequencies to listen to during a hurricane.

Here is what I have told him:

All of the fire dispatch freqs
The local military base fire
FEMA
Mutual Aid
Red Cross

Can anyone give me any other ideas???

Thanks

While watching The Weather Channel the other day, they had issued a storm
warning, and recommended that people listen to amateur radio or STORMNET
for additional information. Does STORMNET have a monitorable frequency?
Are there any other weather monitoring freq's for Northeast Mass. (other
than the NOAA) If Felix keeps on coming...this could be interesting.

Phil.  Try contacting an Amateur radio operator or club in your area and ask if
there is a storm net . If unable to locate one, monitor between 144 & 148 Mhz or
440 to 450 Mhz for a Amateur repeater operating a net during your next storm.

You are crazy.  Saying Death to Net PHone - you might as well as say
death to RealAudio - Xingtech's audio server and others to come.  They

My idea for seeing if your cellular call is being monitored:
Say over the phone that you left the $1,000 in a brown paper bag in a
specified location for pick up.  The other side of the call says he can't
get it for at least a couple of hours.  You say, "That's OK, no one will
check under the trash can in the park at 4th and Washington, two hours is
cool."  Then you wait and see who shows up.
Let me know by email if it works.

Hello

I recently went to Waldens and gave them the ISBN 1-56866-058-8 of
Bill Cheek new book.  Their computer said it was 19.95.
I had them order me one.  When it arrived they send me
a card also stating it was 19.95.

When I picked it up it scan at 29.95 but they gave it to
me at the computer price.

A good price, you might want to check them out if your
interested in the book.

May want to pay in advanced to insure of the 19.95 price.

The book is interesting reading even if you dont do the mods.

        I'm saying that people who post this crap - which as you say is
already available in printed form - are proving the nuts who want
email censorship correct.  Illegal information is available on the
net.  Why add more?

   i understand that there is a call for the disenfranchised to join
   the guard ian angels and go to work policing the internet...so that
   will be done... or is it "my will be done"...

    the story ran a few weeks ago...all these moral midgets with less than
     the i.q. of a rock under a hard plate reporting to some central
     authority about things posted on the net...sort of reminds me of the
     british series: the VILLAGE staring Patrick McGoohan...startling a
     concept in that the uneducated can send the educated to jail for three
     posts or more for a lifetime in jail...

     sort of makes freedom a joke...illiterates sending the intellectual
     cream to jail because they like to .... "whatever makes you feel good"
     do it in the mind....used to be you went to jail for doing it in the
     nude...

     another brainstorm of the new contracts with america...boy, are we
     going to be protected to death...

      it's almost as bad as what falwell and robertson are doing to
      the constitutional process...they claim they have a higher law
      and that the constitution of the usa is a secondary source of our
      freedoms...the guardian angels will now be our first line of defense
      so no ideas which go against the power structure in charge at that time
      will be disseminated down to the "minds" who could have read it....

        Why? Because we want to build a circuit that will
        allow us to track cellular conversations. That's why.

If you want to complain about the net why don't you track down the sick,
twisted , child porn screwballs. This is rampant AND highly illegal. If i
overhear a cellphone conversation with a few twisted child pornographers
talking about raping a 7 year old girl they just kidnapped from the local
elementary school should I be afraid to report it to authorities?? I don't
think so. If so then I guess I'll just have to commit another illegal act
and shoot the son-of-a-bitches myself.

WANTED, "ILLEGAL" INFORMATION
______________________________


I only have one question, where do you go to get this
so called "illegal information"? Information like this
guy says shouldn't be on the internet (but is "ok to have
in books and stuff" (whats the difference?) I would love to read
more about cellular tracking for instance, if anyone has
any information (tracking or otherwise), that others
might not like, please send it to me. (not copyrighted
materials or anything that in itself would be "illegal",
but simply information that someone might not approve of).
I'll do my best to post it everywhere, because we all must
know what is illegal and therefore what we shouldnt read.



send to:  [e-mail] (remember to reverse
                                  the an349774 to Na349774)



Remember, nothing that would be illegal in and of itself, local
laws may vary, check with a lawyer first! Do not break the law!
Only information! Do not break the law! God save the
queen!

Peter, thanks for the post. One thing that people may want to be aware
of. French is the official language of Quebec, and as such, I believe
that all radio comms are in that language. I can double check this with
a friend of mine that works for Urgences Sante, but I am pretty sure of
it.

Some transceivers have scan capabilities.

Scanners cover virtually the entire communications spectrum.

Scan capable transceivers are most commonly in the 2 meter and 440 ham
bands.  At least one commercial manufacturer (Motorola) sells scan capable
business/public safety radios.  There are others, but a little less common
in the "mainstream."

I don't know about this one.

The difference between a scanner and a transciver is that a scanner
RECIEVES radio.  Scanners SCAN the radio spectrum.
Transcievers TRANSMIT and RECEIVE radio.  TRANSmit recEIVER!!
Some transceivers can scan but that differs between models!
Most transceivers are on one or two channels.  Some have "out of band"
receive.

Hi,
Consumer Reports recently had a great comparison of NiCd batteries.  They
sure seem to like the Radio Shack Hi Capacity NiCd series, even more so
than the highly priced Milleniuims.  They trashed Ray-O-Vac Renewal
batteries but I use them in medical instruments and in certain ham radio
applications and I think they are great.

I use Sanyo 600 mAH in mine and I also some 800 mAH (I think also by
Sanyo but I only looked at the rating, not the manufacturer :-). The
600s work great and I charge them in a Panasonic 8-cell charger I
picked up at a Sam's Club (wholesale warehouse-type store). I've had
them for a couple of years and haven't had to replace one after going
through at least 75 recharge cycles. They last 20-25 hours continuous
use in a Pro-43.

I have a 2006 and a DC power supply that I believe is becoming faulty.

I have two questions:

1. If the DC supply is putting out a little less than 13.8 volts, will
        it harm the radio? I've noticed that the radio will scan and
        then stop scanning. If I turn the light on, it comes on but
        it still will not scan. Turn it off then on, most of the time
        it will scan again.

2. If the DC supply is a little higher than 13.8, is there any built in
        mechanism to limit the amount of voltage so it doesn't ruin
        the radio?

I'm obviously not an electrician so pardon my ignorance if I've used the
wrong terms here.

Thanks...Ric

You are talking apples, oranges and tangerines here...

The tones decoded by Bearcat scanners are "PL Tones.  This is a subaudible
(60 to 300 hz) tone used for various repeater control and nuisance
abatement purposes.

Audible tones are often used by paging, especially by fire and rescue
units.  These are usually a series of 2 or more tones, or even
touch-tones.

"Code 3" etc are radio brevity codes used to keep transmissions short and
sweet.

In trying to design a sound-squelch recorder controller circuit for my
AR1000XLT, I noticed that it puts out some VERY faint "puffs" if the
squelch circuit is set right on the edge - especially when the freq it is
switching to is far (spectrally) from the previous freq.  Setting the
squelch a bit higher helped but that's kinda kludgy.  It seems that the
squelch circuit in the radio is very fast acting and could probably use an
integrator that would delay the squelch latching circuit for about 100ms
or so.  The noise it seems to be latching on to is probably due to
internal switching to different bands.

My BC200XLT batteries last 11-12 hours before needing a charge. This is
using the Uniden battery pack with a mod to the unit to disable the low
batt warning/cutoff. I do not know much about the mod as a local
electronics store did the mod.

Each pack has lasted several years. Perhaps this could be an alternative
solution to your problem.

Just a small correction in principle here.  The actual modification itself
for any particular scanner/radio/etc. is not protectable by copyright.
That is, if snipping diode D-12 in a certain scanner gains some unique
function, the fact that someone else has written it up as a magazine article
does not mean that another individual can not make the information available
to others without violating copyright.  Copyright protects the verbige
or text used by any individual author.  The factual information contained
in any article is generally not copyright protected UNLESS there is some
overall creative aspect to the presentation of that information.

I post this, not to dispute the efforts of those that write such
original articles, but merely to indicate there's a big difference between
publishing an original article verbatim on the net (a copyright
violation) as opposed to simply restating the facts as to what and
how a particular modification can be done.

Oh boy, here we go again (this topic is a frequent start to a long thread
of "Why'd you want to listen to people order fries for" and follow-ups).
PLEASE DON'T START THAT AGAIN!

FWIW, here's a listing I've compiled of fast food restaurant frequencies.
The "inside" frequencies are typically the more interesting ones,
especially later at night.

The listing can be read horizontally to see who's on a particular
frequency or vertically for some of the major chains to see which
frequencies they've used elsewhere.

This list was compiled from numerous posts on the Internet news groups
alt.scanner and rec.scanner from many posters, among them:

    1. Brad Steinman ([e-mail], 131.183.1.4),
    2. [e-mail],
    3. Bob Parnass ([e-mail]),
    4. [e-mail].
    5. Berton Carson ([e-mail])

Thanks for sharing the information!

Warning: unfortunately some of the postings confused CTCSS tone
frequencies (in Hz?) with carrier frequencies in MHz, so some
of the listings below are unreliable.  I've started listing
specific references next to frequencies listed.  Scan the bands and
see what's around locally.

Hope this helps; have fun,
-Patrick Penzias Dirks, [e-mail].

Why not be inventive and put an antenna on a battry powered frequency
counter and go order some fries in the drive thru. Don't tell me it won't
work, I' been there and done it.

Hello
Well I don't have a list for you but I do know from exsperence (that  can't
spell :)   ) that unless you are fairly close like a block or two away you will
not hear squat.  I had to stick a rubber duck from my 2-Metter radio outside
(it was the only thing i had on hand) to pick up McPukes 3 blocks away.

I easily pick up McDonalds about 1 mile away using a Pro 2006 and multiband
vertical scanner antenna in the attic. I live on a hill, it helps.

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

I have a RS 37 I would be willing to trade with you.
Has the entire 800 band. I have a ICOM 7100 that I use
and don't really need the 37.

Let me know.

How can the 51 and the 43 go for the same price? The 43 is a MUCH better

I'm looking for an AR-1500 unblocked, I'm willing to pay around $250,
and if possible I'd like to trade my Realistic DX-390 shortwave radio.
It's in EXCELLENT condition, and has all of the features. Covers
150khz-30000khz continuously, and comes with an active antenna, and a DC
lead. Email for details. I'm also looking to sell the Reciever if
anyone's interested.

        I have to agree with you on this one, Radio Shack here in
Canada is selling them new off the shelf for about that price.  Seems a
number of Americans have been coming up here taking advantage of the
exchange and selling them at a large mark-up.

        Free enterprise, gotta wonder about the consumers!

 I have a handheld PRO-35 Scanner Radio for sale.  It is in nearly mint
condition.
 This radio will give you endless hours of scanning fun. You can listen in on
 news as it happens. I have monitored Sheriffs, EMS, Life Flite, Utilities,
 News, Aircraft, Airports, and much much more.

This is a 100 channel programmable unit built for Radio Shack by Uniden.
Comes with AC adapter, built in charger, NiCad Battery, and antenna. It has
built in weather band coverage, frequency search feature, monitor, lockout,
light,scan, etc.

This radio is much more sensitive, has better audio, and better
squelch than my newer one.

I am asking $95 for the whole package; make a reasonable offer if you wish.
You will not be dissappointed in this unit. It looks and works great!

(Frequency coverage is from 29-512 Mhz with the usual gaps.)

For sale:  Radio Shack PRO-2026   Production date: 11A2 (11/92)
Already modified, and with full cellular coverage.
Brand new, it was bought a few days ago (7-29-95).  (I'll supply receipt).
I found this treasure at a low-volume Radio Shack store and snapped it up!
In original box, with instructions, brackets, etc.

This is a GREAT scanner for cellular monitoring.  It has full DIRECT coverage.
By that I mean:
- No silly keyboard mods or complicated test modes.
- No poor quality cellular frequency images.
- No fumbling with small soldering irons and even smaller diodes. (mods are done).
- No limitations on the number of channels monitored.  (This scanner will also
  pick up the cellular range in the search mode.  So you do not have to
  program individual frequencies and scan them.  You can program a range of
  frequencies to search, and THE ENTERTAINMENT IS NON STOP!

This scanner is originally a mobile scanner, but is easily adapted to home
use by buying a $5 power adapter (12 v.), and also portable use by
using a $2 battery pack holder (plus batteries, of course).

The sensitivity and reception is great!

Price: $295 (firm), plus shipping and COD charges (if applicable).
(Shipping is up to you: overnight or by snail-mail)
(COD is also up to you.  I will not ship the scanner without pre-payment.
 I will accept a cashier's check, money order, or personal check.  However,
 personal checks and money orders will have to clear COMPLETELY before
 scanner is shipped.)

 Please do NOT send payment without advance notice to me.  Please email
 with info about shipping, COD, etc.  email:   [e-mail]
In your email message supply a telephone number to call you at, and a
convenient time to call (evenings preferable).

Of course, I should mention that in no way, shape, or form do I listen to
cellular frequencies.  It is unlawful to monitor mobile telephone conversations,
including cellular.  It is not legal to listen to other people's telephone
conversations with radio and/or scanner equipment.

I just sold mine to a local electronics store.  Last I heard it is not
illeagel to Sell or Buy cellular un-blocked radios.  It is marely Illegal
to use them strictly for scanning cell freqs.  Hope I'm right, and that
helps.  If your worried about selling it, don't tell them it is unblocked...
Later,
joe

My UBC 100 XLT has the same keys.

after pressing manual you will be able to enter a desired (valid) frequency
which should be the lower of the two freq's will you wish to search between.
after entering the first frequency press limit and then enter the second
frequency. Then press search, The scanner will search every frequency between
the two you entered and will stop and listen when it finds something.
A good idea is to turn on the delay to give yourself time to press hold incase
the person being monitored stops speaking.
Hold will pause the search.
when hold is active you can single step back or forward by pressing limit and
hold respecively.

a summary
Press                       MANUAL
enter say                 75.000
press                       LIMIT
then                         76.000
press                       SEARCH
upon reception        HOLD
step back                 LIMIT
step forward            HOLD

Oh, The E key allows you to store the interesting frequency into a memory
usually the current one.

Hope this helps.

I wrote this in response to a previous question, so please excuse its
simplicity:

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

Hopefully this helps!

Jan:

Four things...

1. Use the best coax you can afford.  I would suggest something
like an RG-8, or better.  Don't use the cheap stuff, as the
line loss above 400 MHz is high.

2. Any sort of good antenna will work.  I have heard arguments
both pro and con on discones, and on dipole arrays such as
the Antennacraft scantenna.

3. If you are mounting the antenna outside. be sure to use
a lightning arrester.  They're about mandatory here in the
southeast US.

4. If you are only going to gain a meter or two mounting the
antenna outside, cosider mounting it in the attic.

Be sure to let us know how things work out for you...

David

4. If you are

Many PRO-51's are not modifiable. Since the 51 was relaesed after the
cellular scanner ban, Radio Shack had to pull all of the 51 off the
shelves and send them back for a retrofit. The scanners were subsequently
returned to Radio Shack and are NOT modifiable. This is why the test mode
mod does not work.

Right, but how short = which freq (approx)?

The antennas on the VHF and UHF motorolas that I've seen looks almost the
same length.

In the USA, i never have had a problem traveling with one or more
scanners and shortwave radios. I frequently take a scanner with me when I
go to an airport to catch a plane or pick someone up. Either I carry the
scanner in my hand or in my jacket or pants pocket. NoOrmally, I just have
to turn the thing on when i go through the airport security.

If you travel to an international Destination, there, they may or may not
like the idea of you having a scanner.

Last year, I went to visit some relatives in Germany. had no problem in
Frankfurt or Hamburg. At Frankfurt, they did sniff my radios to check for
nitrates or explosives.  At Stuttgart, they wanted to know whay i had the
radio equipment, what i was doing with it etc... I had to negotiate with
airport security, An airline represenative, and the airport police.
Finally, I gave them my scanner, they put it in a pouch and hand carried
it to the captian. I was able to get the radio back (Regency HX-2000
118-1300mhz) when I went through US customs!!

contact the embassy of the country you expect to visit for specifics.
also writing to the countries shortwave service may also get you an answer!!

Maybe one of your old-timers can enlighten us.

Many, MANY years ago there used to be a philosphy in this country that the
airwaves (radio frequency spectrum) were a ''natural resource'' and as a result,
could not be ''owned.''

That seems to have changed.  How?  When?

Do the cellular companies actually ''own'' part of the radio spectrum?

Only in the same respect as other broadcasters do (i.e., TV, radio,
ham, cb, etc...). The main difference is that the preceding never
have lobbied to have any silly laws passed to make interception
of their signals a crime. Just another example of how our tax dollars
are wasted on meaningless crap.

The FCC abd Congres discovered billion bucks by selling the spectrum. If

It IS illegal to listen to Cell phones, certian paging services, Broadcast
remotes, and any encrypted communication.  This is part of the Electronic
Communications Act of 1986 (ECPA).  While it has been said to be
unenforcible (by the Justice Department), it has yet to be tested in
federal courts, at least as to cell phones.

A copy of the ECPA is probably on several online services' libraries,
check CIS's Hamnet if you have it.  Otherwise, go to your local library
and look it up.  It is there...

        And in the USA, your statement is just plain WRONG.

        I refer you to Title 18 of the United States Code, Sections 2510

Listening in to cell phone conversations is, unfortunmately, *definitely*
illegal, and was made so by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
The complete text of this act is online at:

http://www.eff.org/pub/Legislation/ecpa.law

I specifically refer you to Section 2511.

  If they don't want me to listen to their signals, then they should keep

This law appears to be in the same category as the Prohibition Laws in the
1920's - They're on the books, but nobody pays attention to them.

I've always thought it strange why you can't listen to broadcast remotes.
Anyone know why this is illegal?

The way ECPA is worded - one can infer that cell phone user is breaking
the law while listening to the person their talking to!

I agree... same holds true for cordless phones. If you don't want me to
listen, then use a land line!  listening to cellular calls can sometimes
be quite interesting. I's funny sometimes to hear people argue or fight
over the phone...sometimes you hear drug deals and other illegal activity
too!!

Cellular Phones (mobiles) transmit on one frequency and the repeater
(base or cell site) on another frequency. However, the base repeats the
mobile frequency... all you have to dod is search between 870-896 and you
should start finding calls sooner or later.

There are those out there that make it their practice to listen to
cellular frequencies and capture ID data from the cellular phones. they
then `clone' other cellular phones using ID data they have captured over
the air.... This, I am against  However, I don't see why the cell phone
system was not set up to encrypt this data streem in the first place!!

Anyone know whether a Opto Scout would be in the same catagory as a
scanner as far as possessing one in a motor vehicle?  I would sure as
hell hate to have mine confiscated.  I was just reading the statue in the
MN lawbook and it is somewhat vague.

If you have a Ham Radio license, (technician class or higher) you are
exempt from the mobile scanner laws. Always carry your ham license with you!

Sort of.  While all states that prohibit mobile scanners make exemptions
for hams, some states (like New York, I believe) only let hams use
their mobile transceivers which scan by design - in the car, a rig that
can receive PD freqs. is okay, but a PRO-2006 is not.  The other states
say, though, that if you have a ham license, then their scanner
restrictions do not apply to you - use whatever you want to.  I
think Florida falls into this category.

Florida does.  FL843.16 is also vague in a couple of other ways such as the
definition of "instaled" and "so tuned"  If anyone is interested I'll post the
whole law, its not that long.

I am looking for the technical specification for the OPTO interface
for the 2006.  I would like to write my own software and try some more
fancy things like audio logging on signal detect, feeding the audio to
my sound card and storing a sample with other info such as frequency,
tones, etc...

Any ideas where I could get the document? Opto has not been very
responsive.

The best available ($179.00)decoder is the Airmaster from Lowe
Electronics available from Electric Equipment Bank in Vienna Virginia.
The Airmaster requires a PC 286 or better and a decent scanner.  The
wider the AM filter the better.  Both the AR8000 and YUPI 7100 are
ideal.  The PRO 43 does not work in decoding ACARS.  You plug the DB-25
connector from the Airmaster into the serial port of the PC and the cord
from the DB-25 into the scanner.  Installation is simple and should take
less than the ten minutes to connect the cables and install the
software.  It helps to live close to a major airport.
More questions, Please Ask

Hi John,

Lowe Electronics produce a ACARS decoder hwich is available from many
delare s here in the UK. It retails for around 70.00 Pounds ($110'ish).
I beleive it is sold in the US by EEB but I'm not sure on pricing.

Its a little decoder that plugs onto your serial port. You feed the
ACARS Signal from any receiver (131.525 or whatever is is) via the
speaker socket and the software does the rest. A Sample print out is :-

Heard a flight of Apache Gunships here in Maryland on night maneuvers
(over my town). The comms were pretty funny this time, the pilots
were obviously in 'happy' moods.

They used the term 'getting poodled'. Anyone have any idea on that
one? I thought I was up on the latest mil buzz words but I guess
the Army/ANG has their own.  Thanks.

Oh yes, for you Marylander's: active freqs for APG:


38.4  Mhz
38.7
242.4
242.6
243.5
243.55


I have actually entered 100Khz increments, since they change to non-routine
freqs from the above from time to time.

The above will net all the local Aberdeen Proving Ground helo activity, and
they can be heard for quite a ways when at altitude.

The 'V' call signs appear to be Apache's, 3 digit calls appear to be
UH-1 'Hueys'.

Happy listening!

Andy

        I recently purchased radio shacks pro2035 and have been looking
for any kind of modifications for it to unlock the 800mhz band.  I've
looked pretty much EVERYWHERE and haven't found any, and I've heard that
this model was built so its not even capable of receiving it.  SO.. if
anyone knows how to unlock the 800mhz band on a pro2035 or knows where to
find it, please tell me!  otherwise,  I would appreciate it if someone
can tell me where I could get a convertor.  tnx.

The following information was made available by Motorola at the APCO
National Convention here in Detroit. Not saying I agree or disagree but
thought it was of interest to the list so I decided to type it in and pass
it on --- especially since I had only seen recaps and not an official
statement from either of the parties involved.

CITY OF TULSA VS. GASS AND ASTACIO

TULSA, OK -- On July 28, 1995, a federal jury in Tulsa, OK convicted Larry
Nathan Gass on all counts charged of illegally modifying and selling
two-way radios capable of intercepting the communications of the City of
Tulsa.

In April 1995, a grand jury returned a 27-count indictment against Gass,
50, and Jon David Astacio, 42. Both were charged under 18 USC Section 371,
Conspiracy, 47 USC Subsection 605(e)4 and 605(a), Sale or Modification of
a Device Intended for Unauthorized Interception and Publication of Radio
Communications, and 18 USC Section 2, Causing a Criminal Act.

The essence of these statutes is that it is illegal for a person, if not
authorized by the sender, to intercept any radio communications and then
divulge the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect or meaning of
such intercepted communication to any person. Court rulings in related
cases hold that by listening to such a device one has divulged the
contents of the conversation "to yourself," fulfilling that element of the
crime. Other elements of the statute include modifying or selling a device
that accomplishes the above.

The indictment alleged that Gass and Astacio, acting both in conspiracy
and individually, violated Federal law by modifying and selling Motorola
and Standard brand two-way radios capable of accessing the Motorola
trunking radio system operated by the City of Tulsa. The modification were
performed with proprietary and copyrighted software not distributed to the
public.

Under an agreement with Federal prosecutors, Astacio, now of New York,
pled guilty to three felony charges and testified at Gass' trial.
Astacio's sentencing is set for later this month, and Gass is to appear
before U.S. District Court Senior Judge H. Dale Cook for sentencing on
October 18, 1995. He faces up to 85 years in prison and up to $4.25
million in fines.

The convictions culminated a 16 month investigation by the Tulsa Police
Department's Internal Affairs Division. Evidence was recovered during an
August 1994 search warrant served at the offices of Tulsa Security Patrol
and Action Helicopter Services, both owned by Gass. Other evidence was
recovered by subpoena and search warrant from Gass' customers, which
included major media outlets in Tulsa.

This ground-breaking case was the first use of these statutes in a case
involving a trunking radio system. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott
Woodward let (sic) the prosection team and stated that he spent an
"enormous amount of time briefing the case" and asked attorneys in three
different sections of the U.S. Department of Justice to research various
issues before deciding to proceed against Gass.

During the trial, Gass' attorneys many times tried to introduce evidence
that simple scanners were capable of intercepting, at least partially, the
communications of a trunking radio system. Most of these attempts were
rebuffed by the judge, as no scanners were involved in the case, only
trunking radios.

A scanner, of course, is programmed with frequency numbers, while a
trunking radio must be programmed with confidential alphanumeric codes not
available to the public through legal means.

Following the verdicts, Gass stated to the Tulsa World reporter Julie
DelCour, "Whatever it takes and as long as it takes, this definately will
be appealed because we think the people have a right to know what their
police are doing."

Internal Affairs Sgt. Rod Hummel states, "The Tulsa Police Department has
always been open with the media. But we have made it clear to them what
channels we allow them real time access. We restrict their access to
certain talkgroups for the safety of our officers and so that certain
operations are not disrupted while in progress.

"Media members testified in court that they knew that the City of Tulsa
and the Police Department made it clear what conversations could be
monitored. They also testified their stations could not be competitive
with scanners if their competitiors had cloned trunking radios.

I find it interesting that Mr. Gass' defense team kept trying to introduce
evidence that had to do with scanners. This case has never been about
scanners and none were seized or introduced as evidence. If scanners are
so effective, why would Gass' customers pay over $1000 per cloned radio to
hear what they claim could be monitored with a $100 scanner?

"Undisputed testimony was given at trial that Mr. Gauss (sic) attempted to
place an agent of his into the City's Electronic Maintenance Facility,
posing as an alarm technician, in an attempt to gain the proprietary codes
needed to program radios.

"I believe Mr. Gass would be upset - and rightfully so - if someone
obtained the codes for a cellular phone that he uses and then programmed
those codes into a device that would allow full access to his
conversations. That wouldn't be right, and would be a breach of his
privacy. Evidently Mr. Gass things (sic) that if you work for the
government you have no right of privacy."

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

Too bad the Democracy has failed.

Hi,

 La> Also, does Canada have any restrictions on the use of scanners?

NO!! Canada doesn't have any restrictions on scanners.

In Canada you can listen to whatever you want where ever you want.

(except in Manitoba, where they don't allow them in cars. but Manitoba
is fairly far from the falls)

OK, I need just a little help!

I just got a fat check and want to purchase a scanner.

I want one that is portable, so that I can take it in the
car with me and other places.  I REALLY want to
be able to get "everything" including Cell phone
conversation.

Can I buy one that will get this? Or do I have to purchase
one and make a few modifications, which I have no problem
doing!

Also, if possible ycould you E-Mail me the info, becasue I will be gone
for probably a week so I can not read it here, my e-mail is auto faxed to
me!

Thanks in advance

I'm going to the Red Skin's/Dolphin's game on Saturday.  I want to know if
anyone knows of any good freqs to listen for.  For instance, the
headphones that the coaches use to talk to the QB's sound like they'd be
interesting.

I have a counter, so I really just need someone to point me in the right
direction.

Also, if anyone knows any good freq's for Joe Robbie Stadium, I'd love
those too.  Thanks a lot for all your help!!!!

try standard business band frequencies 464.0-465.0 you'll probably find
something there!! : ^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

Does anyone know how to build a notch filter or where I could I buy one to filter
out CB frequencies.  The reason I am looking for one is that my CB in my car over
powers my scanner accross most of the frequency band.  I was told that a notch
filter would eliminate most if not all of this interference.  Otherwise, is there
any other solutions to my problem.  Thanks.

Hello & thanks for reading this.

I just installed the Opto 535 in my Pro-2035 a week ago.  I LOVE the
combo!  BUT, the signal strength seems really low on all received
signals.  I live about 2.5 miles from the local trunking tower & whenever
I receive a signal from it, it registers about an S1-S2.

I tuned the scanner to a 2 meter simplex freq & keyed my own radio from
various locations around the area & the best I could do was an S4 (even
at 50 Watts!!

My question is, has anyone using the above board had the same problems?
and if so, which pot did you turn up to fix it?  I have a call into Opto,
but I have not received a reply yet.

Any help you might be able to provide would be appreciated.

Can anyone help?

I'm about to go to Orange County (Orange, to be exact) for six weeks of
consulting.  Could anyone give me any good frequencies to listen to?  I'm pretty
interested in anything - police, fire, etc.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi !

   Just another reminder that my software for decoding POCSAG paging
transmissions is available at the anonymous ftp site ftp.demon.co.uk.
The software operates at 512 or 1200 bits/second and decodes all pages
sent on the frequency. The registered version allows pages to be logged
to disk. A circuit for a simple interface is given, from a scanner's
speaker output to a PC COM port.

The file is: /pub/ham/scanners/PD-102.EXE and is a self-extracting ZIP
archive containing program, configuration files and documentation.

  Many thanks to those who have already tried the software, and for
all the suggestions for improvements. I shall be incorporating some
of these into the next version, when I get the time.

  I have also uploaded a couple of other files to the same
directory:-

POCSAG.TXT - A general description of the POCSAG paging protocol,
thanks to Brett Miller N7OLQ.

7100mod.txt - A description of how to modify an ICOM R-7100 to bring
out the discriminator output. Perfect reception with PD ! Thanks to
Tim Jackson ([e-mail]).

                         Cheers for now !

I have an older 51 and it gets cellular and 900mhz cordless just fine.
Any of the newer ones (ie..the ones in the store now) are not cellular
capable (51 that is) but I don't know about the 700.  Basically, all
the newer scanners are not easily modifiable any longer if modifiable
at all due to the new federal law.

Hi Gang,
  My friend broke his scanner. Basically, he wanted to modify it for 800Mhz
coverage, and, he broke the wrong jumper (A BIG idiot....). I told him I'd do
it for him, but he did it anyway. Now he has a problem.

  On the small motherboard where L201 is located, (which is what he should
have snipped), he snipped instead what was a blue Jumper that was a small
little blue block. (Looks almost like a computer jumper..). Upon examining it,
there we no leads to put it back on, so I'm looking for a new one. It says
"800J" on it, so I'm not sure what that means. I was wondering if anyone could
identify what exactly I need so I can order it from someone.

Thanks!
-Chris

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

Can anyone help with mods for the pro-39 for cell? I can pickup
some as is in 850.0 - 862.0 range already. Can somebody explain
this?
Also, any tips for scanning trunked systems (i.e. Oakland CA PD &
Fire) would be appreciated. Alameda county SO went trunked around
the first of the year, and I can sorta scan them using the tips
from Police Call. OPD has some beep tones after each transmission
though, and I just can't follow them. Thanks, Mike

He's right. All PRO-43's are expandable. Plus it's a great receiver.
Triple conversion rejects intermod really good. BUY IT.

 I don't know any hardware mods (but would be interested) but a
 key-mod is: Press and hold Lock-out, 2 & 9 simultaneously then turn
 the power on.  This programs the first 25(?) channels with some that
 have been locked-out at the factory.  WARNING, this procedure does
 erase your existing freq's.  Try the 2 & 9 with other keys at
 power-up.

 This may not be the exact procedure but it's a step in the right
 direction.

 Jeff

I have a 10ch Pro-49.   Bought from RS in Canada with the name Netset on it.

I have found 0 refrences to this model - is it the same as a realistic model
but w/ a different number?  Any thoughts/comments?

If it has a date code after 10A3 (ie. 11A3) it is not
modifiable...your out of luck.. I have the older 51,...love it...
the mod is done with a keyboard combination.  Hold down the 2, 9 and
lockout keys...then turn on the radio..all channels will be erased and
there will be test frequencies in channels..  Go to channel 23 and
that is the channel you need to keep.  Use the search key to search up
and down the cellular range. If you go out of range..there is a quick
little step to start in the middle of the range again and start
searching again.

Pro-51...it had some negative posts on intermod but mine only gets
some slight intermod when I am in S.F. near the large comm tower which
transmits about 25 companies paging, taxis, and all that
crap...otherwise..it is a really great scanner.  They are now on sale
for $219.00 and for that price you really can't get a scanner that has
the turbo scan (which I like the best).  It also drives my external
speaker loud!

Well, more answer then you asked for but hey...I felt like typing.

See ya.

Jay


p.s. I found a new 2006 scanner w/ warranty and am I excited...it is
supposedly the best base ever made..also has computer capability and
gets cellular with a minor mod.

What do ya wanna bet those were UNBLOCKED scanners?  Yup...quite a demand
for them down here in the States now that they're prohibited by a nice
little piece of legislation called the ECPA.

I've had a flurry of responses to my original post seeking to sell my
PRO2006 with an Optoelectronic 456 computer-control interface. Price is
$600 or best offer. Software is Wave, for Mac users. If you want PC
software, the best I can do, which is next to nothing, is give you the 3
demo programs that came with the Opto unit.

Scanner is about one year old; Opto was installed last week. Both are
pristine 9perfect) condition. Reason I'm selling it is that I have an
uncontrollable urge to own an AOR8000 (will happily discuss trades). I
can't justifying owning base and mobile units and I figure that I'll get
more mileage out of a portable. Hope that answers all of the questions.

I bought one of these 5 years ago and have been using it ever since.
I've had it on more different vehicles than I can count, and the magnet
still holds perfectly.  As for the performance of the antenna itself, I
would rate it as very good across the entire spectrum.  The coils allow
for decent reception on low band, which other antennas (especially short
glass-mounts) miss altogether.

I don't care much for Radio Shack stuff, but this is an exception.  For
$30 (including coax), you can't lose.  Buy one!

Jeff,
I bought one of these antennas used and it works well compared to a
Larson 2 M glass mount.  Obviously the most improvement is in 400 MHz and
800 MHz.  My only comment is that the magnet is not quite as strong as
you would find in an average 2 M antenna.  Other than that, I am
satisfied with it.

Thanks Bob for the useful information.  I forgot to also ask if anyone
has frequency information for the San Jose Arena?  I have some
frequencies for the convention center, but I doubt they would use the
same radios...

To release it from test mode, try holding 2,9 & ANY OTHER key.

But this DOES clear the memories!  I found that out the hard way.  Not a
problem, Im glad to know how to reset it (Its nice to clear house and rebuild
every once in a wile)  Does anyone know how to do this trick with a BC100XLT?
I've got one of those and hve never been able to do a total reset.

Anyone have a simple solution for increasing the IF bandwidth of a scanner
to the required 40 Khz. Currently the scanner has a 10.7 Mhz crystal
filter and a 455 Khz second IF filter. Would it be possible to construct
2 or 3 pole passive band pass filters with surface mounted components to
replace these? Any ideas would be appreciated.

 If you are looking for scanner modifications for your radio to unlock
the 800MHZ "cellular" bands, you might want to try calling this place.
 It is a 24hr recorded message with a list of radios they have the

  I had my scanner at Disney World last year, and it was very helpful.
The day before I visited the "topside" of the park, I had toured through
the "bottomside" of the park with a friend who is an engineer there.

  They subscribe to Accu-weather and have tie-ins to weather radar and
lot of other weather info, because of the frequent thunderstorms in Florida.
The next afternoon it started raining, and by listening to my scanner and
hearing their workers radio in for reports, I was able to get some accurate
predictions on how much longer the rain would last.

  Of course, on some of the other freqs all I heard was, "Mr. Jones in Room
222 needs more towels."  Not too exciting :-)

I dont know anything specific to your area (I live in Wisconsin) but up
here we have an entity known as "emergency government."  Their
frequencies are published in Police Call, etc. and listening to them is
very useful during any type of disaster (up here it's more likely to be
tornadoes or massive snowstorms coupled with -25 temps than anything
else.)  Local Civil Air Patrol activity on 148.15 sometimes is pretty
useful, too.

I would suggest all levels of Public Safety, Fire, Ambulance, Police
(all levels, city, county, state), All Emergency Management frequencies
at the the local, state & national level, the National Guard/Reserve
frequencies, and most importantly, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE at
162.400, 162.475, 162.550 so I would know when to get the hell out...

Started shopping around for a Scout and am accumulating catalogs and
phone numbers.  Anyone purchased one recently at a decent price?

The strong U.S. dollar in Canada is making for some interesting
pricing.  Unfortunately, the AR8000s are still priced around $700 US.

Without the Remote there are just some features you cannot (Or couldn't)
access and makes programming a little more difficult.  The set never
really caught on and whilst a RS232 was fitted to the model in many
Shinwa adverts I don't think the RS232 ever made to a production
varient.

The facility to switch between ANT1 and ANT2 is only selectable via the
Remote.

There are stories that the SR-001 caused untold problems at Shinwa but
its all unsubstantiated as far as I am aware.

The facility to switch between ANT1 and ANT2 is only selectable via the
Remote.

If Shinwa don't have any I think you might struggle to be honest which
would be a sham becasue as you say its a neat looking piece of kit
(especially in the dark). RF Performance was nothing to jump up and down
over and in some high RF environments the Intermod was pretty bad.

Hope you find one.

What do you mean "the file"?  If you think about it, 'net phone basically
expands words.  The word "basically" in ASCII is nine bytes.  In 'net
phone it is at least several _hundred_!  How can you people claim that
'net phone uses no more bandwidth than IRC?

I agree that two-way voice communication has it's place on the 'net, but
for every legitimate user, there will be twenty clueless neophytes playing
with it.  THAT my friends, is going to kill more bandwidth than all of the
browsers known to man!  Have you seen the Web camera that lets you look at
the Hollywood sign?  That's probably 50k every time somebody visits, and I
bet there are some lamers who check it out every day because they don't
realize that there are *interesting* URLs out there.  MAN!  It's nothing
but a stagnant eyesore, and some moron puts it on a Webcam.  This guy will
probably set up a 'net phone link to the middle of a remote forest so that
people can pop in and see if falling trees really DO make a sound.

Think about this: read my post aloud, and think about how much data 'net
phone would have to pass to convey this message.  I got it to hundreds of
thousands of people in ASCII in under 3 kB.

One last thought:  Does anyone delude themselves into thinking the long-
distance companies are going to let this go unchallenged?  Do you really
believe that there aren't some government dipshits out there trying to
figure out how to charge you fifty cents to send an email?

This is getting off-topic for this group (sorry).  If anyone cares to
continue this discussion, please move it to an appropriate group and
leave a small post here noting that new group - thanks.

The CPU in the PRO-2004/5/6 series was made by Mitsubishi.... you will
find all the info you need, in the 'Mitsubishi Single-Chip 8-bit
Microcomputers Vol .1 SERIES MELPS 740' manual. Contacting your local
Mitsubishi Distributor will get you a free copy......

As I remember, the CPU only came in a masked ROM version. So, if you were
to reverse engineer the CPU, and add your functions/changes, you would
need to sign up for a 10,000 piece minumum run, and that might be a LARGE
hurdle to over come......

Good LUCK !!!

What's illegal about it?  Pull your head out of the sand and maybe
you'll realize there's a lot more land on this planet than just the U.S.
If you go back and take a look at the posters address you might just
figure out that he's posting from Canada.  For you information, Canada
is not part of the U.S. and your assinine ECPA doesn't apply up here.
He's free to build, follow and listen in on cellular calls as is most of
the planet.  Why don't you newgroup alt.radio.scanner.dstark's-world
with yourself as selfappointed moderator?  You can make sure any ECPA
treading posts are cancelled before they intrude on your corner of the
world.

The police in California drive 65-80 miles per hour on a section of
road posted at 55 miles per hour.

Did you know it is illegal to listen to a radio stations relay
frequency?  Even though the traffic on the frequency is also broadcast
on the stations commercial broadcast frequency?  Why?  The radio lobby
got to Congress.  They want us to listen to the advertising.

Did you know that every telecommunications provider must provide Uncle
Sam the ability to monitor and decrypt the communications on their
service (to include after the fact?)

GIVE ME A BREAK.

I spent 20 years in the military, fighting and winning a cold war
against an empire that kept its citizens from information.  I thought
we had won that war.  Appears it may have just been a battle.

Show some courage, and send a message to those who point the finger at
the net.

I would like to see the circuit published.  For GODS SAKE, plans for
the atomic bomb are available!!!!!!!! Its only a circuit, but is
represents what is good about America.  Ingenuity, initiative,
competence, and the FREEDOM TO COMMUNICATE THE RESULTS!!!!!  In some
countries, that freedom does not exist.  Are we to join them so soon?

I can get them here and was also wondering how good are Trident's...is
that the Company that makes them or just a subsidiary name?

AOR vs TRIDENT would be interesting for individuals with them to
compare.

Call TeleDynamics @ [phone].  They have it in their catalog for
$288.00.

I am in no way associated with the company, just happen to have their
catalog. They are really a wholesale outfit, not a traditional mail-order
retailer.

Complete information on Cellular tracking can be found at the Public
Library....

Try an excellent book, by William C. Y. Lee.... 'Mobile Cellular
Telecommunications'. The book contains all the info needed to track
cellular calls, decode digital phones, etc..... if you have the
hardware/software skills and time, go for it.....

Good Luck

In an earlier post I asked if anyone knew of an easy way to change the IF
bandwidth of a scanner to 40 Khz. I forgot to mention that this for
receiving weather satellites.
Thanks for any help.

: what are they used for?

PL tones, CTCSS, Channel Guard, Code Guard etc. are all low frequency
tones that allow groups of users to share radio "channels" without
interfering with each other.  In actuality, each group of users can hear
the other users if they turn off their CTCSS.  Most leave it on so they
don't have to be bothered by calls over the air that don't pertain to them.
Most two-way radios that use CTCSS automatically disable it when you lift
the microphone up.  This way if another group of users is talking you
know not to talk on top of them.  Some radios can be programmed to not
transmit if the frequency is busy.

There are about 38 different standard tone frequencies that are used.
They range from about 67Hz to about 250Hz.  Typical radio audio is from
300Hz to 3000Hz so the tones fall below the lower limit and don't
interfere with normal conversation.  Tones between about 100Hz and 200Hz
seem to be most popular around here where I live.  There also exists a
different type of CTCSS that is called DPL(tm) or CDCSS which makes use
of a digital code that is also below the normal speach frequencies.

CDCSS and CTCSS are not compatible so even if you've used up all 38 CTCSS
tones you have hundreds more of the CDCSS ones to use.

A scanner user might want to decode one of these CTCSS tones if they were
only interested in one service on a shared frequency.  Also, the CTCSS
can be used as a "band aid" to silence a poorly engineered receiver that
succumbs to interference from other frequencies.  It should be noted that
even though the receiver may be quiet when there is no activity it is
still being desensitized by the interfering signal(s).

Some scanners scan so quickly that they cannot make use of a CTCSS
decoder.  Some that do actually slow down the scan speed when the channel
is busy so that they can check for valid PL before opening the squelch or
resuming the scan.  ie: Uniden 590 etc.

Hope this helps!  If you want more just ask.

Cheers!

Andy

Actually, I'm 13 going on 14 in less than a month.  I've tried begging my
parents, but they said they'd be more than willing to buy me a HAM radio
and help me study for the test and if I wanted to get a scanner, I'd have
to get one on my own.  So here I am.

How are 1-"Alpha Delta", Dx-SWL Sloper. A 60' long sloper. $67.95
                      or
        2-"Antenna Supermarket", Eavesdropper SWL Sloper
            67.5' long.   $74.95
Are these antenna's any good? If so which one is best?
Or does someone have a better one to recommend. It will hang from a
50' tower.

Thank you one and all.

thought of it. I was overrun with bad opinions...Are these the only
opinions out there? Does anyone actually LIKE the R-1? I understand the
intermod problems, are there any remedies for this? How about lowering
the sensitivity (which I hear is REALLY high) to prevent
overloading...will that help? also, are there any ways to improve the
selectivity/adjacent signal rejection?
Please email me with any suggestions..........

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea of what freq's the Army is using for
the "look alike" Apache's here in Arizona? I've tried the
following, (even after seeing them go by) and got no
activity---
49.950  ,   148.325   ,   148.925
Those freqs were recommended in some books I have, but I guess
they are a little old..

If any of you have suggestions as to what area to try, please
let me know by means of e-mail or at least posting to
rec.radio.scanner.

Thanks!

Mike.

Does someone knows the cabling schematics on how to connect a scanner (speaker
or earphone jack) to a VOX tape-recorder (MIC line with "plug--power")?

I am using a Bearcat 2500XLT and a SONY 747 VOR.

I don't want to burn either of those. I think that some sort of voltage divisor
has to be set up to reduce voltage level from the earphone jack, and some
capacitor has to be set to stop the Electret microphone feed power supplied by
the tape recorder to burn the driver of the earphone jack.

Any good in electronics can provide me with schematics ?

Many thanks,

No there are not.  You can get them at Universal Amateur Radil in Columbus
at 614-866-4267 or R&L Electronics at 513-868-6399.  SUN Electronic and TV

When I lived in Buffalo (also a very "active" city), I used to listen to
the Buffalo Police Dispatch. The night dispatch was quite amusing at
times, especially on Mother's Day.  One event in particular, an elderly
lady called 911 and said that her daughter coming over to kill her with a
knife.  The dispatcher said something to the effect "See the complainant
at <address> about her daughter coming to kill her."  The unit responded
and asked for confirmation that it was her daughter.  Dispatch said yes and
"After all, it's Mother's Day!"

Cheers,

Rich Creal

sometimes the Phoenix police, Maricopa County Sheriff, and also the
DPS/Highway patrol can be amusing to listen to. Sometimes I hear them
trying to put out a call and they almost seem to laugh as they broadcast
the details...some calls are funnier than others.

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

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

Does anyone know of a decent and (hopefully) not too expensive repair shop
in the upstate NY area?  I've got an Opto freq. counter with a busted BNC
connector, which hopefully hasn't damaged the circuit board too badly.  I
can do almost any repairs myself but soldering BNC connectors is a real
pain.  If I can, I'd rather get it fixed locally and have it back sooner.
I'm assuming Opto Electronics would take a while, but if anyone has sent
them equipment for repairs, I'd really appreciate any feedback about it.
Thanks very much.

Sorry All, (and thanks for pointing this out!)
I screwed up in the following post, the scanner for sale is
a near mint PRO-35 *not* a PRO-51 (which I just bought, duh!)
The PRO-35 is a real solid performer, and it has super audio and
virtually no squelch tail compared to my newer model.

And its still available.

If your scanner has less than 100 channels, this may be for you!  This
scanner won't get you the 800 Mhz coverage, but it is a super deal
for the 29-512 Mhz scanner enthusiast.

This is a 100 channel programmable unit built for Radio Shack by Uniden.
Comes with AC adapter, built in charger, NiCad Battery, and antenna. It has
built in weather band coverage, frequency search feature, monitor, lockout,
light,scan, etc.

This radio is much more sensitive, has better audio, and better
squelch than my newer one. This radio looks nearly new, too.

I am asking $95 for the whole package; make a reasonable offer if you wish.
You will not be dissappointed in this unit. It looks and works great!

(Frequency coverage is from 29-512 Mhz with the usual gaps.)

If it is a pro-51 it should go to the 900 mhz range, NOT 512.
If it is a older 51, it gets cellular if you know the mod, so I think
you may be misstating the model #

Name here is Sonny and thanks for reading this note. I have for sale
a 500 channel Uniden Bearcat 8500xlt scanner. Some of the features
are as follows:

Alpha Numeric display (have the display read out the dept your listening
                       to instead of having to remember the frequencies).

Frequency range 25 - 1300 Mhz. (the frequency coverage is not totally
                                continuous between 800-900)

Turbo Scan - Scan and search up to 100 channels per second.

VFO Control - Tune in desired frequency through large rotary dial.

20 Banks - Each bank contains 25 channels.

10 Priority Channels -

Auto Recording - This feature lets you record channel activity from
                 the scanner to a tape recorder.

Well I am sure I am leaving something out but you can have this
scanner in excellant condition for $300.00 Firm and you pay shipping.
Just look in the books and you'll see what they sell for. If interested
please call Sonny at [phone] in New Bedford, Ma. If you
get the machine just leave your info and I promise to get back to you.

Thank you..... and you can e-mail me at   [e-mail]
Sonny

Hi,

If I was you I would consider a second hand one and I know that the
Realistic range starts quiet basic.

If you need anymore information I more than happy to help

Any scanner should be able to cover 10-30 miles radius. The biggest
problem initially is getting the frequencies for your area. Trying to
scan isn't much good usually, since you won't know what you are listening
to if you do find something.

If you want cell/cordless on a scanner get a older PRO-34/39/43.
Or tabletop PRO-2022/32/06.

After 6 years or so with a PRO-34, I am in the position of wanting a
new scanner.  I am not current on who makes what, and what unit is
best.  How about giving me some tips as well as things to watch out
for based on your experiences?

Here are my parameters:  I have $500 to spend.  I want coverage of
the Military band and cellular bands as well as all the normal
ranges, including aircraft.  I have some problem with internod at my
site.

What are my options and what have your experiences been?

Thanks in advance...

Jim

        Today i purchased a new discone antenna from rat shack, and 50ft
or RG-8 cable.
        This set up replaces a three year old "scantenna" with 50ft of
RG-58 cable.
        While my reception is better, I am experiencing heavy
interference in the 500mhz band. This is where my county police and fire
operate. The interference sounds like data type transmissions with beeps
anh hisses and whatnot. I am also receiving the interference in the VHf
band 150-161 area.
Does anyone have an idea or remedy as to what i can do about this?
thanks in advance....

some agencies do have frequencies dedicated to data transmissions. if you
are listening to stuff in the 470-525 mhz area and have a UHF Television
station in your area that operates on Ch 14-25, you may be hearing the
television audio/video. Television audio is WFM, while Video is Am, TV
video sounds like a buzz on a scanner.

have you checked any frequencies you are getting noise on against a
listing of active frequencies for your area or surrounding areas ???

I'm curious as to why you thought the discone would be a better solution
than the Scantenna. It doesn't make sense to me that the reception would
be better but someone with antenna know how might see something in this
mix that I don't, which would not be hard to do.

    Typical NiCad life in a PRO-43 is 6 hours for 600mah batteries. A test
using standard R.S. NiCads with: Scan mode, minimum squelch, minimum volume
(i.e. receiving, but no audio out) produced a battery warning at 6h 4m and
a dead radio 9m later. Maximum audio would reduce this by 1/3;  battery
saver mode could extend life to 24h on a quiet channel.

A good choice when the scanner MUST fit in a tiny pocket, at the expense
of ALL other considerations (performance, battery life, convenience, etc).

The R1 provides VERY POOR performance. It should not be considered as a
primary scanner. It is concealable, and that is it's only positive aspect.

What about the Anlico pocket-sized scanner? (DJ-X1?) How does it perform?
How small is it?

I like my R-1.  It is VERY small and has a lot of nice
searching/scanning options.  The down side is the short battery
life, between charges with the standard battery, and I have to
carry the instructions in order to use some of the more
advanced features.  One real complaint is not being able to turn
on/off groups of channels.

Marginally better than the R-1, but is much more difficult to use.

Almost exactly the same size as the stock R1.

This is from memory, since I sold my (upgraded to address #2B below) R-1 a
couple of years ago:

1. Supplied antenna is deliberately deaf because the receiver overloads
   easily.

2. Selectivity (ultimate rejection) is poor because:

        A: cheap IF filters are used
        B: RF noise from the CPU creates phantom signals at regularly
           spaced intervals from the desired one. This makes scanning
           and especially limit searching very frustrating as the
           scanner is constantly stopping at signals that aren't really
           there.
3. Battery life poor on internal 300 (!!!)) mAH pack. Adding
   an external battery pack effectively nullifies the radio's
   only saving grace: small size.
4. Too few memory channels, most of which are "reserved" for frequency
   lockout and auto-store during search.
5. Buttons are tiny and hard to push.
6. Performance below 30 MHz is very poor, even as "wideband" scanners
   go. People who buy this and expect to get shortwave DX are in for
   a rude awakening. Medium wave sensitivity is practically non-existent.


Other than that - it's a great pocket radio :-)

Nate -

I'm one of those who was drawn in to the ICOM R-1, thinking it
would be a great little receiver.  Unfortunately, due to it's
light weight, it's not even a good paper weight!

Forget the R-1...  Instead, find a Yupiteru MVT-7100.  It's a
little larger but it works great!

For those that say the R1 is poor on performance, could u please
elaborate a bit, except on the channel memory size, which I know it can
only store 100.

But where sensitivity is concerned (which I consider one of the more
important features), for a hand-held scanner, it is good.

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

Now that I've board you to tears....  The airwaves are publically
owned.  What this probably means is that the usage will always
be subject to 'pop-culture' idealism.

        Sure they do.  They bought and paid for it.

        I'm not referring to PACs and throwing money at Congress to get your
way.  I mean the spectrum auctions and license fees that FCC collects.
The cellular companies invested real money in their chunk of spectrum
and they want to protect their investment.  Unfortunately, they don't
understand (nor does Congress) that you can't post "Keep Out" signs on
portions of the electromagnetic spectrum.

There is no law that prevents the sale of cellular capable scanners, just
the import or manufacture where the radio is intended for sale to the
public.  Dealers may still import/manufacture cellular capable scanners for
sale to law enforcement, government and certified members of the
communications industry.  Dealers may (and do) continue to sell scanners
that were stockpiled before the law went into effect.  I saw BC200XLT's
and BC760XLT's for sale new at a truck stop recently...

Close, but no cigar.  Most of the exclusions to the scanner laws are
worded to allow amateur transceivers which happen to also scan public
service frequencies.  In other words they don't want to make mobile
or handheld amateur transceivers illegal, as almost all have the
capability to scan public service frequencies.  On the other hand, I
doubt that many cops would make that distinction and would allow
an amateur to posess a scanner regardless of the law...

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

Not in Indiana. They define scanner as a radio that receives police

FCC's FEDERAL exclusion refers to ham equipment with wide band receive.

Speaking of Michigan, I just returned from an APCO conference during which
the Michigan State Police gave a seminar on their upcoming $187 million,
Motorola digitial, trunked, state-wide radio system! Whew! It will have
181 tower sites, use the 800 MHz band and be available for use by
non-state governmental agencies for a $300 initial and $250 annual fee.
Non-state users must purchase their own radio equipment and maintain their
radios--the state doesn't want to get into the radio provision or
maintenance business.

The final system, scheculed for completion some time in 1998, will have
16,000 talk groups available and can be expanded. ANY radio on the system
can talk to ANY other radio on the system, ANYwhere in the state. To
insure this, they've devised a test procedures: the state has been divided
into 2x2-mile grids. After installation, they'll drive the grids and test
reception. When finished, 97% of the grids must have 100% coverage. No two
adjacent grids can have less than 100%, thereby creating a large whole.

It's the biggest single contract ever awarded by the state and the largest
single contract received by Motorola. They'll subcontract out the tower,
microwave and other parts.

CRB research still carries the Scanconverter 9001 and the handheld

really well. I tried the II on my Pro-26 but it doesn't perform like I
was hoping.  I kept it though cause they will eventually be hard to
find.
Happy Scanning !!!

Since I don't have a radio store within several hundred hours, I was
forced to call Grove last Friday to see if the book was available.  They
told me that it was supposed to be available in mid to late summer, but
they hadn't received it and didn't have a clue when they would.  I guess
we all just keep waiting!

Every scanner owner who listens to 800 MHz should be OUTRAGED at this
decision!

The impact of this case is PHENOMINAL!

What do you think is going to happen if APCO-25 gets adopted on a
nationwide basis?

That's right!  You can tune your scanner to the ham repeaters!

Doug:

Personally, it would be a great mistake for any city's
emergency services to hide behind a digital radio service
and not have some way for the public to listen in on SOME
of the talk groups.  Right now, the public gets an earfull
of all the grief and BS the police have to put up with, and
gain some sympathy from the scanning, law abiding, public.
(C-311, subject has multiple DUI convictions... need hardcopy?)
What LEO wants to toss away that type of publicity?

Perhaps the FCC could allocate frequencies for Emergency
Serivces to allow FM analog transmissions of APCO-25 traffic
on old public safety freqs, or perhaps mandate that APCO-25
compatable scanners be made available.

But this may all just be a tempest in a teapot, as the funding
for this changeover may not be available due to federal
budget cuts.

Every scanner owner should be outraged, regardless of what frequency they
listen to.  If we are indeed "divulging the contents of the communication
to ourselves" any time we listen, then this case has just declared all
use of scanners (other than ham/CB monitoring) illegal.

There is probably more to it than this, though.  I would assume that this
"divulgence to ourselves" only applies to using an unauthorized trunked
radio, rather than a scanner.  But, the mere concept that just listening
can be construed as "divulgence" opens the door to a complete ban on all
radio monitoring.

There was originally talk of Project 25 capable scanners, but in light of
this decision, I doubt that it will happen.  It seems that despite all
the useful features available with a trunked radio system, many cities
are using trunking purely as an anti-monitoring tool.  I am sure that it
will be the same way with Project 25.

Doug...Doug...Doug...

I dont know how many times this has to be repeated.  Larry Gass did NOT have a
scanner.  Mr. Gass modified radios using propriatary information and software
and they became capable of both transmitting and receiving on the City of
Tulsa's trunked system.

This case did not, does not, nor will it ever involve scanners.  The police
department has NEVER had a policy of going after law abiding citizens with
scanners.

Besides...how do you think that they found out about Larry Gass and his radios.
 Certainly, if Larry was only listening to his radios, he would never have been
caught.  But since he decided to try to sell these radios to the media (who
have a great relationship with TPD, TFD, and EMSA), then he came to the
attention of the police.

Larry has a history of breaking the law.  Check into his run ins with the FAA
and his helicopter that he liked to land on an illegal pad on top of a public
building.

Again...this has nothing to do with scanners.

Mike

I was a paramedic in Tulsa, worked on the Haz-Mat team, and for the Fire
Department. My wife was also with the Fire Deparment (in Communications).  The
City of Tulsa (read TPD and TFD) have a very open policy with people listening.
 In fact, generally all you have to do is call the radio shop and they will
give you most of the frequencies.  They even GAVE the media radios capable of
receiving their trunked transmissions.  However, they do draw the line on some
of their freqs.  Those are the ones used by the TPD/DEA task force, the Haz-Mat
team on operations, and a few other 'critical' freqs.  There does need to be a
line drawn on what freqs are available (to protect the police, fire, paramedics
and the public).

Here is a situation for you.  Larry Gass (since he sparked this debate) hears
on one of his unblocked radios about a haz-mat incident and decides to take a
look in his helicopter.  In the process, the downwash spreads the chemical away
from the contained site into a public area UPWIND.  Is this right??  Or someone
decides to try to see a drug bust up close and while the cops are trying to get
him out of the way a cop gets shot.

I have seen a case where a person got shot in just that situation (prior to
TPD going to 800mhz...I was the medic that responded).

There needs to be some protected freqs.  I feel that the people who are
concerned about not hearing 'everything' have other reasons to wonder what the
police are up to.  Did Terry McNichol ever post an arugument like that??? :)

In TEST MODE you can receive or transmit on the channel of your choice.
AFAIK there is no way to scan. Look for postings about the MOTOROLA BIBLE

Does anyone have the codes used by the Port Authority Police of NY/NJ?
Not the frequencies but the codes which would be equal to 10 codes but
they don't use nearly the same codes as is common.
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

Subject: Please post celluar unblock mod for Pro-2030

>>...mods for a RS Pro-2030...

Modification to restore cellular frequencies in the Radio Shack PRO-2030
Scanner.

This mod is essentially the same as the PRO2026 except the location of the
jumper is slightly different.

    1.   Remove power cable.
    2.   Turn unit upside down.
    3.   Remove five (5) recessed screws from bottom panel.
    4.   Carefully remove bottom panel.
    5.   With display panel facing you, locate the jumper marked L201 on the
         circuit board attached to the display.  It will be about
         2" in from the from and 2" in from the right side.  It will look
         like a RF coil.
    6.   Cut the jumper marked L201.
    7.   Reinstall the bottom and reconnect power. Scanner is ready for use.
    8.   Cellular frequencies are now restored with 30 Khz channel spacing.

    Please note:  I picked up this mod from the FIDO net.  I have never
    completed the mod myself because I own the 2006.  But I do have the
    service manual and this is the diode that locks out the cellular band.
    Even the specs show this diode connected to pin 10 of the microprocessor.
    This pin is the STRAP OPTION CELLULAR SKIP.  Too easy!

Remember - DO NOT perform this modification. DO NOT listen to cordless
or cellular telephone calls. You will be violating state and federal
laws if you do.

Have a nice day.

              Add a Plectron or Motorola Alert
             Crystal Controlled Monitor Receiver
                 to Your Scanner Collection

                    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.]

 In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of firemen and  ambulance
 squad members came to rely on their transistor Plectron and
 Motorola 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  crystal  controlled  receivers  are
 excellent  for dedicated monitoring of local frequencies --
 a task for which you wouldn't  want  to  tie  up  your  400
 channel  programmable  scanner.   They  can be powered from
 117VAC or 12VDC with the proper  mobile  cord.   The  audio  |
 quality of a Plectron P1, Plectron 700 series, and Motorola
 Alert Monitor is far better than any consumer grade scanner
 and the sensitivity, image rejection, and intermod immunity
 is outstanding when aligned properly.                        *

 The Plectron and Motorola Alert monitors  are  single  band  |
 receivers:  VHF-low,  VHF-high, or UHF.  No single Plectron  |
 or Motorola Alert monitor can cover the  entire  30-50  MHz  |
 band,  so there were versions optimized for each portion of  |
 the VHF-low band. There were different  versions  to  cover  |
 low  and high "splits" in the VHF-high band, too.  Although  |
 UHF versions were made, they are somewhat rare and coverage  |
 is limited to 470 MHz and below.                             |

 Plectron made  several  models  with  dozens  of  different  |
 options.   Both  the  original  P1 and later 700 series are  |
 suitable for restoration, although I prefer the  newer  700  |
 models.    The   Plectron  500  "economy"  series  is  less  |
 desirable.                                                   |

 The P1 series have black cabinets  with  a  blue-green  and  |
 silver  color  scheme  used  on the front panel.  They were  |
 made in the Chief (tone decoder & carrier squelch),  Patrol  |
 (carrier squelch only), and Sentry (tone only) models.  The  |
 Sentry models lack a carrier squelch and therefore  are  of  |
 little use to hobbyists except for scavenging parts.  Model  |
 number and frequency information appears on a gummed  label  |
 on the rear panel:                                           |


                 Band (MHz)   Chief   Patrol                  |
                 ___________________________                  |
                      25-54   R19     R15                     |
                    148-174   R20     R16                     |
                    450-470   R23     R21                     |

                Table 1.  Plectron P1 models                  |


 The R700 series have black cabinets with brown front panels  |
 and are slightly smaller than the P1 receivers.  R700s were  |
 made in the Chief (tone  decoder  &  carrier  squelch)  and  |
 Patrol (carrier squelch only) models:                        |

                 Band (MHz)   Chief   Patrol                  |
                 ___________________________                  |
                      25-54   R719    R715                    |
                    148-174   R720    R716                    |
                    450-470   R723    R721                    |

               Table 2.  Plectron 700 models                  |


 The Plectron FM Receiver/Recorder is  a  collector's  item.  |
 It  is essentially a 700 series Chief receiver with a built  |
 in  cassette  tape  recorder.   The  recorder  is   carrier  |
 activated  and can tape transmissions while the receiver is  |
 unattended.  A connector on the rear panel allows  for  all  |
 kinds of remote control possibilities.                       |

 I use two Plectron P1s and four R700s in  my  living  room,  |
 seven  R700s  down  the basement, and several Plectrons and
 Alert Monitors stored in reserve.  The  basement  Plectrons
 are   turned  on  automatically  when  someone  walks  down
 downstairs.  Power to them  is  controlled  by  a  modified  |
 Radio Shack Safe House infrared motion detector, originally
 sold as an intrusion alarm.

 When a rescue  squad  member  from  Missouri  advertised  a
 number  of Plectrons on USENET, I bought them -- all 20+ of
 them.  I cleaned, fixed,  and  restored  each  one.   After  |
 recrystalling them on local frequencies, I distributed them  |
 to members of my scanner club who were glad to get them.

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

 AC power cords for  both  types  of  receivers  use  unique
 connectors  and  are scarce.  You can buy them new but it's
 much cheaper to drill a hole on the rear panel and attach a
 permanent a power cord.  Make sure you use a grommet in the
 hole to prevent the metal chassis  from  chafing  the  line
 cord.

 Many Plectrons and Alert Monitors  were  equipped  with  an
 internal  NiCd battery pack, intended to power the receiver
 if the AC power fails.  It's unusual to find a used monitor
 receiver  with  the  NiCd  pack  still capable of holding a
 charge.  More often, the batteries have died and the series
 charging  resistor  has  overheated and burned.  Be sure to
 remove the dead batteries as they often leak.

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

 I have not used the Plectron tone alerting  features  so  I
 cannot  address  that  except to say that the special coils
 and capacitors for the dual tone decoders vary depending on
 the  tone frequencies and are somewhat difficult to obtain.
 Plectron receiver repair service is offered by:

If you've got a Radio Shack nearby, they've got what you want.
The 741 is an OP AMP, cat. # 276-007, 79 cents. If you dont't

and use of the POCSAG pagin decode and also the schemematic for this
device and cannot figure out what this one component is.  If you know
please mail me back.

the arrow points to the component and it also has 741 on it.

BTW- when i figure out this component and build the interface what
frequencies do I search for these pages and what do the pages contain??

I purchased two BC200 XLT's before the ban on scanners that could be
modified to receive cellular transmissions.  Since I also own a BC2500XLT
and a BC890XLT, I have been preserving both of my BC200XLT's in MINT
CONDITION.  I do not use them in my regular activities and still have them
in their original boxes with their manuals.  (On one of them, I had
programed some police frequencies and I also had customized a velcro strip
for the backside.)

As a licensed Private Investigator in Arizona, and a member of the
American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers, I can testify to the "new"
condition of this equipment.

I have an account with Federal Express and can ship one or both to you
immediately if you are interested.  Due to the condition of these
scanners, I am asking $200 for the new one that I programmed frequencies
into, and $250 for the brand new one.

(If you are a member of the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers,
I will take off 10%.)

If interested, call Dean at [phone] or email me at
([e-mail]).

So how come I have been listening to cellular calls on the Pro-26
I just bought this afternoon??? Up in the 1000-1100 range are a bunch.

As Jim may point out, his statement was acurate.

Images are not considered receiving frequencies especially when representing
what a unit for sale is capable of.

You did not give a lot of information regarding your problem of receiving
pagers while listening to police freqs.  I know of two possible causes that are
not related to the scanner itself.  The first is that in some areas the police
use their freq. assignments for double duty.  In addition to the usual voice
traffic they also use the same freq. for tone and voice paging.  If this is the
case, there is nothing you can do except get used to the noise.  The other
possibility that comes to mind is a phenomenon called intermod.  This is caused
by a high density of RF signals in the vicinity of your scanner.  If you live
close to an area where there are a lot of antennas (police, public service,
paging, etc.) some of these signals will mix with each other and produce a new
signal on another frequency.  Also, an unwanted freq. will show up on the ghost
IF freq. of your scanner.  This problem is usually geography related and will
disappear if you move to a different location.  Also, if you are using more
antenna than you need you may be leaving yourself open to this problem.  If you
only listen to police, fire and other services which use repeaters, then the
small telescoping antenna or rubber ducky that came with the scanner is
probably all you need.

I don't know if this will help, but, lacking further details about your
problem, it is a place to start.  Good luck.

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

The problem could also be a result of an "image" but i don't think that's
too likely with that unit.

Cheers!

Andy

It's true.

The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the
portable PRO-62.

Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images.
Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far
away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted
interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

For more info, see the PRO-2037 review in July 1995 Monitoring Times.

Look at *serial* number.  If it contains an A it is NOT modifiable.
If there is no A, it can be modified.  There have been no units that
contradict this rule.

See post just previous to this for complaint on intermod...I don't

According to Bill Cheek in the Ultimate Scanner book not all pro43's can
be modified. Check pages 132 and 139 for the details. you must have a pro
43 with certain codes on it for it to be modifiable. Herewith is the
important part quoted from this fine book. " The cell...procedures work
only with date codes of 2a4,1a4,xa3 and xa2. It probably will not work
with the 3a4 and definitely not with 4a4 and up, nor if there is an"a" in
the serial number." end of quote.
page 139 The Ultimate Scanner by Bill Cheek. The book is available from
Index publishing  [e-mail] or 1-800-546-6707. I have no
connection with any of these enterprises. I am concerned however that a
lot of people do not have good information to enable them to make
intelligent purchasing decisions. In fairness I must say that bill refers
to specific procedures to modify the pro 43. It is not out the question
that others may have discovered other ways to do it with the ones that
bill could not modify with his procedure which is detailed in the book.
And in closing I would like to buy a modifiable or modified pro 43 for
$200 if you have one let me know.

I found a PRO-51 (7A4) for $219.
1) is this a good deal?
2) this release is fully modifiable for cellular etc. isn't is?

It is normal to get images in they range...

Jay

p.s. mine gets the cellular range but you can hear cellular in those
ranges...in addition, new freqs have been added so the lower 890mhz
range may cover some of that.

I just bought a PRO-34 from a guy and the thing won't pick up any
frequencies below 69MHz.  When the thing arrived, its limit function had
this range programmed in, and it worked because I picked up my own cordless
phone.  However, I changed the limits, and when I tried to change back,
all I got was an ERROR message on the display.

Does anyone know how I can access these omitted frequencies on this PRO-34?

BTW, it has an 86 in the serial number, which I am told is of signifigance.

136.005-174, 380-512, 806-823.9375, 851.1125-868.9375,  896.1125-960MHz.
No range around 68Mhz., this could be your problem...........

>No range around 68Mhz., this could be your problem...........

What I'm looking for ist the 30-54 MHz range.  The back of the scanner says
it covers it, but it's just not there.  The lowest frequency the scanner
can get is 68 MHz.  Anyone know how to access these?  I know it is possible
because when I got the scanner, it had a programmed range in the missing
frequencies.  I changed these when I first got the scanner (not knowing
I couldn't get them back).  If they were there, SOMEONE must know how
to access them.

Any help?

There is a diode near the cellular blocking diode.  Removing one diode
restores cellular.  Removing the other eliminates 30-54 and allows you
to enter 68 to ??.  It sound like some one removed both diodes.

Two of the most common failures in the R-7000 invlove the 'inverters'.
There is one on the rear of the front panel which supplies the display
and another on a plate under the bottom cover. The 33 uF capacitors
deteriorate and cause strange symptoms. Both are something for an expert
to fix but if you haven't replaced these, it's a good place to start.

Hi,

I know this this a funny question but has anyone found a programme for
a PC which lets you record jobs for people like taxi drivers or
courriers.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

        Hey, I would be interested in checking out your frequency list
for Martin State/APG. Don't know how much I'll be able to hear from
Woodbridge, VA but I'm interested in the frequencies. Thanks for the
information.

I was told RG-6 was best for the price.  What would be best overall?  And
is Plenum-shielded too much/needed?  I am also using an inline AC
amplifier that supposedly boosts 20-1000mhz (RS part #15-1117)- I don't
seem to notice much difference, have put my antenna on a 5-foot mast on
top of my one-story roof and still can't pick up the McDonald's less than
3 residential blocks away.  Think the amp is helping or hindering based on
principal?

Many thanks!

I am aware of FM and AM traveling at amazing distances, especially in the
Summer.  Right now I am picking up a station at 300 miles just like it is
local to me.  My question:  I am picking it up great in the car, not at
all on my receiver or my scanner.  What does the radio have that makes it
pick up so well?  Any ideas on how to permanently improve FM receiving at
that distance? Preferably in the home but any car mods would be nice to
hear about as well.

Many thanks!

I have seen ads for years on products like the "OptoScan 456" for my
Pro-2006 yet only occasionally see discussion of them, and mostly I only
see specific questions being answered.  Has there been any general
discussion of which ones are out there, their prices, pros and cons, etc
that could be shared?  If not, is there anyone who has had experience they
would like to offer?  I am also interested in the PC software packages
available to control and log.

Many thanks!

Can new fast-charge (i.e. 3-hour) NiCd batteries be used in chargers
for the older batteries that require 12-16 hours?

My 2.8 V, 500 mAH (when used with AA cells) charger was made before
fast-charge and high-capacity rechargables became popular.  "Regular"
NiCads are becoming scarce in most stores.

Can I use my battery charger with the new varieties of NiCd cells (i.e.
800 mAH high-capacity)? Will my charger undercharge the new batteries,
or can I just leave the batteries in the charger longer (i.e. 16 hours
instead of 3)?  Can fast-charge batteries be left indefinitely in my
charger without overcharging?

Can the built-in charging circuit in the Pro-43 handle fast-charge or
high-capcity cells?

Correction: my charger is rated at 2.9 V, 100 mA.

I called and waded thru the voice mail info system at Cellular Security.
They stipulate that they only do cell resstores on scanners that are pre
ban (ie manufactured prior to Feb 94).  So there is really nothing magical
about their service.

Help I have just bought a Realistic Pro 2036 base station scanner
and after spending 299.99 I find that it has limited scanning
i believe this is due to it being made for the uk market.

I have been told that the Uniden Bearcat  BC-890XLT
is the same model but has a very wide range.. 29 -1300 megs

Does anyone have information on what jumpers if any I have
to move to get the same freqs..

if you are behind a car, try scanning the handset frequencies (830-850)
the bases or repeaters (870-890) will carry both sided base and mobile
while on the handset side you will usually only hear one side of the
conversation. just search 870-890 the signals here are usually stronger
than the handset signals. you will also find some control or data streams

If a scout is used with a unmodified scanner and the scout locks on to a freq.  that has not been unblocked the
scanner will not be able to recieve the transmission. Is this correct?

I bought a used Scout 25 for $175 about a month ago. They didn't make
many of these so good luck finding one. The Scout 40 is a better model
as it will drive the AR8000 directly, but the modle 25 needs some sort
of adaptor.

When you get one, connect it to a mobile antena and park your car in
an interesting spot such as near a police station, government building,
etc. You can get at least a dozen freqs, but I haven't found anything
too secret yet.

I understand the CB and HAM users have those 'illegal' 200watt
signal boosters that seem to let them communicate with Mars I
hear :) but is there such a booster for received signals? besides
putting up additional antenna's or turning the antenna? if
so where and how much is such a booster available?

Although I'm not familiar with this chip, I wonder if they have a version
that makes use of E2PROM instead of the ROM?    I'm thinking like  the
Motorola 68HC11xx chips have.   If this were the case you could use this
other version for test and programme trials.  The original ROM dump from
the RS scanners may or may not be accessable and this information would
be copyrighted anyway.  I would imagine that it would be locked up pretty
tightly.   However, clearly the Opto fellas have figured this all out and
I don't think they would have placed a 10,000 unit order - heck, maybe they did!

Reengineering the CPU is the only way to go.  As for removing and
replacing the CPU you will need special tools specifically engineered for
this task otherwise the job will be very difficult.  If I were to attempt
this I would use a 68HC11xx personally as the chip is very versatile.

Cheers!

Andy

get some stereo speaker wire, strip off about 4 inches of the
insulation at the end, wrap a large bolt on the end, and toss it on
top of your house. strip off some of the insulation on the other end,
and attach to your scanner antenna input. great for the lower freq's!

Any experience with the $159 1-line Tropez?  What kind of distance are we
talking?  I have a friend who lives at the beach who bought a Panasonic.  He
can walk across the road, between the buildings, and down onto the beach and
talk just as clear as if he were on a non-cordless.  I want to be able to talk
for a block or two.

Thanks.

Not that I like political discussions in technical
groups but wasn't it Klinton why signed the Crime
Bill (among other information repression bills?)

Contrary to popular belief of the drones of the
US, the Crime Bill was more that "assault weapons"
and "high capacity magazines".

There was some pretty draconian stuff in there.

As far as I have been able to tell the only information
that is "illegal" to have is information classified under
Executive Order 12356 "National Security Information",
"Atomic Energy Act of 1954", "Whistle Blowers Protection
Act", "Intellegence Identities Protection Act", and the
"Subversive Activities Act of 1950", and the "Electronic
Communications Privacy Act".

As far as I know, all that anarchist stuff that seems
to be popular is not illegal. However, we do receive
certian discretionary acts from law enforcement about
our every day activities. Some of the stuff could lead
could bring unwanted attention from law enforcement.

It's your choice though.

(Reminder, I am not a lawyer get one if you are riding
the edge and want to be a Supreme Court case. Countries
other than the US have various laws. In Great Britian
it is the "Official Secrets Act."

        Hi,

        The battery on my scanner recently bit the dust and it took the
programmed channel frequencies with it. I've managed to replace the
battery and reporgrammed all the frequencies but one. So I was wondering
if anyone could tell me the frequency of the 24-hour weather channel for
the Boston, MA area. (i.e. New England)

        Thanks in advance.

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

Robert

I believe that their technical functions are typically for testing
equipment. I think hams use them to ensure that their stuff is
transmitting on the frequency it says they're transmitting.

I'm not sure but isn't a freq. counter what car thiefs use to grab the
frequency from your car alarm transmitter- that would be one use though
negative:(

Really?  20-25 hours on a pro-43 with nicads?  The pro-43 service manual
lists a current drain of 85ma nominal when squelched.  800mAh/85mA=9.4
hours.  I see closer to 7 hours continuous with similar cells.  20-25
hours?  Maybe if it was locked up on a single channel and rarely broke
squelch. (power saver mode)

Gordon:

Yesterday I purchased the last copy of Bill Cheek's book at Powell's
Technical Books in NW Portland.  I think they will send books if you
request a copy.

This book store is very large and has an excellent reputation.

Their number is:   [phone]

or try their other downtown store:  [phone]

I am sure they would send you a copy of that book if you have a credit
card ready...


If you can't find it there, try a store that I have purchased several
things from with excellent results.  Try The Radio Place in Sacramento,
CA,  I could bet money on the fact that they would carry this book.

I have purchased two scanners from The Radio Place with great results.

You rat!  Apparently not only did you get the last one from Powell's

Why is it that my scanner seems to work better when I'm holding
on to it or the antenna? Is this a law of nature I'm not
familiar with?

While we're on the subject of antennas...
      Should I replace the antenna that comes with the scanner?
Should I have my scanner attached to some wires that hang out
my window?  Please post replies for everyone who might have the
same questions.

:Yes, you are hearing the transformer. Obviously, the power switch
:interrupts the DC voltage and not the AC line.

OK, but how harmful is it.  My -2006 has been getting louder for quite a
while, and even hums some while on, but it is much louder when off.  Ii'd
unplug it, but I don't have that much confidence in the battery backup.
Is this a sign that the power supply is going bad?
While I'm at it, does anyone have a stock # of an AC/DC converter that
works well to power the 2006.  The one I have puts out a nice 13.8V but
does not have enough current to allow the scanner to scan.(display light
comes on, but no display)

Any plug-in wall transformer that puts out 1 amp of 12 volt DC, with the proper
barrel connector, centre pin positive (+), will work.  Visit any electronic
component supply house.  It should cost about $7.

Radio Shack's #270-1534 12V adapter gives out 2 amps. Does that matter?

    The radio should function with a supply voltage down to 10vdc. Below
that the 8.3v regulator gives up and all functions fail. While a low power
source may impair performance, I'd suspect the squelch setting or a nearby
transmitter for the problem described.

> 2. If the DC supply is a little higher than 13.8, ...

    With the exception of one 12v line to the audio amplifier, all voltages
in the scanner are regulated. The "13.8vdc" input is designed to run off a
car generator, which can produce significant surges. I wouldn't worry unless
the power supply exceeds 15v. If your source is a 'wall cube' supply, these
will produce the specified voltage under the rated load. Measured with no
load connected, they will read high.

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

Every "mobile" radio will specify 13.8 VDC because that is the maximum voltage
that the device will accept.  The voltage coming from the voltage regulator in
your car is usually maxed at 13.8 VDC even though the battery is "12 VDC"

Be sure to note the polarity of the connector you use and have the correct fused link
listed in the owner's manual.  I don't know the correct amperage for the fuse, just
make sure you don't EXCEED the maximum amps recommended in the manual.

Perhaps someone else knows the correct size of the fuse.

Hi all,

I have recently "bought into" the world of RF scanning (I purchased a
Pro-51 and a Pro-2006) and I'm really interested in my new-found hobby.
But neophyte scanner buffs have lots of questions - so here goes.....

1. What books are available on RF scanning?  I'm also interested in
modifications, so what books can assist me in that area? (I already have
a frequency listing for my area).  What magazines are also useful? (I'm
considering Popular Communications at the moment)

2. I did the "keyboard mod" that was recently posted for the Pro-51....but
how does this improve my scanner?  I was already receiving "images" of
cell phones in the 900 mhz range anyways.  Is the reception better perhaps?

3. Does anyone know of any other mods for the scanners that I have?  I
have already cell-capability in the PRO-2006 and I'm aware of the
speed-increase mod for that model also.

4. Is there a program for either one of my scanners that will make RF
scanning more enjoyable? (open to suggestions here)

Although I enjoy reading the communications over the news group, I would
ask that you e-mail me directly.  I don't want to annoy anyone with some
already-asked questions.

I'll be paying close attention to this newsgroup in the next couple of
weeks to pick up any tips and pointers.

Thanks in advance for your responses and patience!

I have heard from other folks that Secret Service monitoring of late
has not been too good, as they're using their scrambling more and
more. Monitor all of the known SS freqs, and good luck. Don't forget
to listen to the local law enforcement stuff that may not be
scrambled.

I once got a chance to hear the Secrets all over the place when Al
Gore came to my college campus during the campaign. I was able to
follow the flow of things from touchdown at the airport, motorcade to
the student center and all the crowd watching.  Great stuff.

 They do, however, sometimes transmit in the clear before he arrives, and
often transmit in the clear after he's left (during the "wrap up" of the
visit).  Also, listen for LOTS of activity on the standard police/
sheriff freqs, including little used ones.

FYI while it is not illegal to eavesdrop on the AF1's radio comms,
1. it is illegal to divulge what you heard
2. if you where listening to a cellphone or air phone comm you are indeed
in violation of the Bullcrap laws that our gov't has foisted upon
its citizens. before I get off on a political tangent I'll sign off here

I used to live near Reagan's SBA, CA ranch and spend the entire time he
was in office monitoring the Sec. Serv. and related activties---
including a very interesting conversation (at a local rancher's BBQ)
with the head of his SS detail. He stated that they were well aware of
us scanner buffs and that they had bubble machines on the way, for the
sensitive stuff. Sure enough, 2 months later, sssssssssssssssssss !!!

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

I'm thinking about getting the AR-8000.  Is it as good as they say it is?


I have a Scout 40, and I heard somebody talking about reaction tunning
with that.  Where can I get ahold of that?  At Grove?

Also, how much does the interface kit and the Scancat-Gold Software cost?

Thanks a lot.

Howdy,
I've got both (scanner NUT) and only had the 8000 a few weeks. So far the
yupi seems to have better sound and you can, if you are into ham radio,
duplex with it quite well. Have not played with either on HF yet.
The Alphanumeric display is neat cuz when you are listening to some P.D.
and you havent got the memory # memorized it's nice to look and see
"P.D. Belmont" . If I only had one to chose I would take the yupi.
I just have not fallen in love with the 8000 yet.
p.s. I sold my pro43 :>

Are the Optoelectronic sniffers worth getting, I am more interested in
finding local transmissions than air shows, marine, etc.

I own a Scout 40 and it works very well.  I am amazed at the distance from
transmitters when it reads the freq.  I've modified my AOR8000 to use the
Scout for reaction tuning and it works great.  The Scout receives the
freq. and tunes the 8000 and bingo.....your listening to the transmission.
 This setup would work great for air shows.

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

I took the Scout with me to a football game about a week ago, and just
stood outside the press box.  I got 50 different freqs.  One of them
happened to be the TV coverage control room freq.  It was really
interesting.

Is the BC3000XLT absolutely positively unmodifiable cellular-wise, or is
it that people are not willing to talk about it?  Any ideas or technical

        There really isn't a need to modify the 3000XLT for cellular
since the unit will pick up images in the 1000-1030 Mhz range just as clear
as the original frequencies.  Trust me, it works fine.

Does anyone know what the reception is like for the above scanner.
It looks like a great little scanner capable of 100 khz to a whopping 2060 mhz.

Any information at all will be most appreciated.

     Certain electronic devices, and especially cell phones,
produce electronic interference which causes the navigation and
other systems to not work properly.  The pilots usually get anxious
when this happens.

     Many hospitals now prohibit cell phones for the same reasons--
having their electronic equipment malfunction during surgery isn't
fun.

     I'm not sure if the Air-to-Ground phone service the airlines
sell is electronically shielded from the other components.

The phones on planes operate in different frequency ranges than cellular
phones, so that they minimize any interference that the transmissions may
cause.  Regular cellular phone calls could mess up some navigational
transponder transmissions.  Also, it would be really hard to get any kind
of connection on a cellular phone because you're traveling so fast.

The cellular networks are based on the assumption that phones have limited
coverage.  The 'cells' reuse the same frequencies every tens of miles
to only a few miles, depending on how congested the area is (i.e. in
cities, the cells are set up close together, running at low power, and
they command the phones to operate at low power as well).  In rural
areas, the cells are on mountains and relatively high power is used to
minimize the number of cells required, at the expense of the number of
calls that can be made at once per square mile covered.

All this is based on the range from a ground-based phone being reasonably
predictable and fairly short.  When you take a phone on a plane, it will
cover a much larger area, and interfere with a lot of cells.  It is
possible that it wouldn't work at all, not due to low signal, but because
several ground transmitters reach it at once.  The 'cellular' network for
the airplane phones is set up using different design rules, considering the
larger coverage from the airborne transmitters.

I believe the FCC rules for celluar phones prohibit airborne operation,
probably for this reason.  The airlines also have reasons other than just
profit to ban radio devices.  And finally, the ground celluar companies
could experience a lot of interference from airborne users.

warning lights just as the aircraft had left the ground.  The
pilot executed an emergency landing.  Appon landing the warning
lights went out. The copilot was doing an onboard visual
inspection when the same warning light came on just as some
idiot was useing his cell phone. He was removed rfrom the
plane.

The prohibition of cellular phones on any airborne aircraft (not just
airliners) is prohibited by the FCC.  This is stated in FCC rule 22.911
(Part 22 has been changed, it may be 22.925 now).

The FAA also has a federal aviation regulation (FAR 91.21) that
prohibits the use of any portable electronic device while in flight with
five exceptions. 1) Hearing aids, 2) Heart pacemakers, 3) Portable voice
recorders, 4)Electric shavers, 5) and any device that the operator
(airline) has determined will not interfere with navigation or
communications systems.  Everything the airlines allow you to use falls
under number 5.  The FAA has told airlines not to allow the use of
portable electronic devices that are considered intentional radiators
such as C.B. radios, remote controlled devices, etc.  Even if the FAA
said that cellular phones were safe, the FCC prohibits their use under
part 22.

Cellular systems depend on the mobile units having limited range.  Using
phones while airborne increases the effective range and can cause
interference with co-channel users.

The service offered on airliners uses equipment designed to be
permanantly installed and meets FAA (TSO) and FCC requirements for air to
ground use.  This equipment uses networks of ground stations that are not
associated with the cellular systems.  There are two services for air to
ground interconnect - The Air-ground Radiotelephone Service (with the
Public Land Mobile Service) operating on 454/459 MHz pairs.  And the 800
MHz Air-Ground Radiotelephone Service operating on 849-851/894-896 MHz
pairs.

I have a Radio Shack 60 channel scanner.  The local police department has
recently encrypted their broadcasting so all I get is gibberish with a
"click-click-click" in the background.  The questions:

1)      Is it possible to decrypt the messages?
2)      If yes, how does one do it?
3)      How difficult is it to rectify i.e. putting in special chip or the
        like?
4)      Where do I get "chip" and how costly is it?

realistically, in a word, NO.

the type of scrambling, though not that complicated, is called "rolling
code" scrambling.  the ticking you hear is a clock pulse that
synchronizes the transmitting and receiving radios.  every time a radio
is keyed, the encryption information is sent first, then the officer
begins to speak.  the encryption information is sent in a data burst
before speech begins, and the other radios in the system use the
information to match the encryption code and decode it.

if you wanted to spend LOTS of money, you could probably do one of two
things.

1. find out what company makes the type of rolling code scrambling you
are hearing, purchase their encrypt-decrypt module AND a radio that is
compatable with it (few are, mostly motorola rigs), then beg the pd for
the encryption key data (good luck).

2. beg your local pd to let you purchase one of the radios they have
(more money!) so you can monitor their conversations, (again, good
luck!).

Gary,
There are many types of conical antennas, the discone being an example of
a very efficient broadband conical vertical.  As you correcty point out,
a discone has the disk at the top!  Several manufacturers, such as TCI
and Granger sell cone antennas that may match the brief description you
provided.  Their theory of operation differs from the discone, and they
are probably somewhat less efficient.

Hi

I recently drove past a building in town with what looks like a discone on
the roof.  It appears to be mounted upside down.  The 'disk' being at the
bottom and the open end of the cone at the top.

I'm just curious whether this has any effect on performance.

Hi Gary,

I wouldn't think that mounting a discone upside down would affect it's
performance though it sounds like a cumbersome way to mount it. A
vertical with the radials at the top should work the same as a vertical
with the radials at the bottom. Maybe I'll have to try mounting my
VHF/UHF discone upside down and see what happens...

        I recall hearing a Houston PD dispatcher say:
"Unit ____ respond to _____ on a noise disturbance, male subject
urinating in the parking lot."  It must have been quite a gusher.

        Another time I heard a spot report from a disturbance at
a store that sells exotic pets.  The officer said he was looking
for "black male, muscular build, last seen running nude westbound
down _____ wanted for having sex with a llama."

i've heard chilling calls as well.  a sheriff's officer screaming for
help in a crowd of gangmembers... a city police officer call code 30
just before several gangmembers jumped him, took his gun, and held him
there at gunpoint so they could continue beating another gangmember to
death... i have also heard cdf ground crews calling for help as fire
raced up a hill on all sides of them, trapping them...

Kinda. Up at CSUF they replaced the old machine with the new Lennon
machine a few months ago. They were still using the old Mondrian machine
for awhile so that you could kinda wrap things up before they shut it
off. I was actually using both accounts, and believe it or not, i have
ANOTHER account [e-mail] that I use, but normally just telnet

Also got a new job :)

Some time ago a local fire department was having trouble with their

then announced "Testing the XXYYZZ department radios- anyone whose
radio did not go off, please call the station."

Giving my age away here, but I was hooked on police radio, we didn't have
scanners then just tube type tunable receivers, when a friend loaned me his for
a few days.  One of the first calls I heard was dispatching a police unit very
late at night to investigate a report by the coffee shop owner of a "suspicious
subject" in the lobby of the Washington hotel.  I had just enough time to
wonder what made a person suspicious, when the dipatcher added, "Subject may be
identified by parking meter under left arm".   (Cool hand Luke?)

I cannot speak to the quality of digital cellphones from ericson,
but the analog phone I have experience with is a bit buggy and noisy.
Cell algorithms for strongest paging channel on initial boot are
a little weak.

okay for an inexpensive cell phone. Not top of the line.
Best analog i've come across was the technophone, (though my
experience is limited to about a dozen.)

To tell the truth, If I had to sink the money, i'd try the at&t digital.

new 20 channel trunked
system and I would like to get one for my 2006. I hope this info is still
current.

Much obliged,

I was able to get into it a couple of weeks ago, but it was an "Under
Construction" message. Haven't had any luck since. Their BBS is great,
though. A message I saw there a while back indicated that it was going
to be telnet-accessible. Cool!!

I had a problem for a couple of days but seems ok now.  So far it seems
to be nothing but one big advertisement.  Hopefully they will have
access to the "files" that are available on their BBS.

I saw this list of frequencies which shows the trunked system for denver.

to do it from the following data.  Thanks:

How much is the Pro 26 sells for at Radio Shack?  Is this their top of the
line handheld?  How is this compared to the top of the line Bearcat BC3000XLT?
I think the BC is double conversion while Pro 26 is triple conversion.

The Pro-26 I got at RS was $450. I've enjoyed it alot. Up in the
1000-1100 area are <not that I LISTEN to them, mind you> are what seems
to be cell phones but I understand they are images as oppsed to recieving
frequencies. Also down in the 40 area I have scanned past some.
 Prior to this one I used a BC700A which I got before they started
blocking out the cell phone frequencies.
I've enjoyed the Pro-26. I went ahead and spent the $$ knowing that I
would not be buying another one for a LONG TIME.
 I haven't seen alot of people on her talking re: the Pro-26, though. Is
it brand new or something??

This newsgroup is about RADIO SCANNERS, not graphic image scanners.  You might
either call Microtek directly, or find someone with a Compuserve account and
find the Microtek area on Compuserve (or is it America On-Line?).  Many
manufacturers keep their latest drivers on-line on the commercial information
services.

I purchased an R-1, and posted a forum asking about it's performance.
First of all, I have to say thanks to all those who responded. I
recieved the radio yesterday, and I am quite happy with it. It's
extremely small, and weighs so little that it's ideally suited for
traveling. It came with a rapid charger, which charged an empty bp-83
battery pack in about an hour. The internal battery took about 5 hours
to completely drain.
    Whan everyone said how prone the Icom R-1 was to overloading, I was
discouraged a little. However, I found that replacing the factory
antenna with a Comet CH-32 Miracle Baby antenna drastically reduces this
problem, if not eliminating it completely. The radio's features are
outstanding, and I was able to pick up several shortwave brodcasters
last night. (With the factory antenna.)
    My point in writing this is that perhaps the reason you were all so
dissapointed with the R-1 is in your high expectations, and inability to
deal with the R-1's quirks. I personally think the R-1 is quite an
exceptional reciever, and For the size, and the price ($250 with
charger, BP-83, and 3 antennas) I am very satisfied.

I like mine a lot, too.  My main complaint is that when you are in P-Scan

Go into set mode, and Choose T-10, which chooses to sit on the frequency
for about 10 seconds, then moves on.  You have ?-2, which means it will
sit there until no sound is emulated for 2 seconds, then moves on.  I'm
glad you like your R1.  I love mine.  I've had it three days, and I want
to become a HAM now.  :-)

Cheers.

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

HI all,

I have a bc860xlt and I'm curious about what I could
do to pick up the entire 800 Mhz band.  I looked in
some of the archives for modification, but no luck.

Thanks for your help!

No known mod on 860 , we and I am sure many dealers still have plenty 855
left.

And they can do FULL 800 and you can add 100 memory channels to ALL

I have a JIL SX400 scanner. Apparently JIL has gone into the radar
detector business, and doesn't seem to have any information to
dispense regarding this scanner. My questions are:

Does anyone know if the SX400 is compatible with any of the
commercially offered software for scanner control with IBM
compatibles?

Is there anything special about the interface cable connecting the
SX400 RS232 port to my computer COM port?

Thanks for your time.

I've been flying a _lot_ lately, and I usually haul some combination of an
Alinco DJ-560T, an AOR 1000 or 8000, and a Scout with me, in my carry-on
luggage. The worst I've had (even in the new "heightened security" times), was
to run my bag back through the X-ray lying on it's face, instead of the back,
and to open one pocket to show the security officer the Scout while murmuring
something about how "I have a lot of metal-cased electronic equipment with me,
see?" No problems at all.

Howdy,

In looking through a couple of Pop Comm and Monitoring Times, I see ads
for places that carry the Opto Scout, but very few of the ads seem to have
prices listed. Does anyone have an opinion of what would be the best
places to get a Scout, and/or the ScanBlaster packages?

Sure it is!  Just don't have it on while your driving.  I had a cop come

Many thanks to [e-mail] (Jmmorrison) for taking the time to
prepare and post the joint press release from Motorola and the City of
Tulsa regarding the recent federal decision.  You were able to fill in the
blanks and provide details relevant to this group.
Knowing that ôthe airwaves belong to the peopleö (Federal Communications
Act of 1934, as amended) has made me (and perhaps others) docile enough
about the legalities of harmless radio listening that I turned a blind
side to the coming of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.  Almost
overnight, it seems, a benign information-gaining practice could now be
cause for the feds to kick in my door.

On its face, that is true.  Now, read the following excerpt from the
Motorola/TPD release carefully:

>In April 1995, a grand jury returned a 27-count indictment against Gass,
>50, and Jon David Astacio, 42. Both were charged under 18 USC Section

What is to prevent the definition of ôdeviceö from encompassing a scanner?
It is apparent that this non-specific wording leaves the door open for
future use against scanner users and radio modifiers alike.  I suspect
that was not an oversight.

As for the generosity of the police sharing their frequencies:

>Internal Affairs Sgt. Rod Hummel states, "The Tulsa Police Department has
>always been open with the media. But we have made it clear to them what
>channels we allow them real time access. We restrict their access to

That translates into three channels out of twenty the city ôallowsö
citizens to monitor.  I agree that someone who drops in on a crime scene
or disaster in an obviously malicious or disruptive manner should get
clobbered, but such occurrences are the exception and not the rule, and
not justifiable cause to deny law-abiding citizens the right to engage in
an otherwise legal and harmless practice.

BTW, I do not know the defendants in this case personally, so my likes or
dislikes for them as individuals do not color my opinion on whether the
federal decision on their case is fair or reasonable.  I think it would be
fair to this group if the discussion on that case were limited to the
facts as presented and how they could pertain to any individual who may
wish to legally monitor their municipal communications.

Reprogram?

If you know the current one, it is easy.  If you don't, you will need to go into
maintenance mode to erase/change it.

   I am pleased to announce a new product offered by Positive Time Systems
   called the RCS-I.  This is a radio controller that connects to any VHF/UHF
   transceiver and can issue x-10 commands. (X-10 is a power line standard
   for controlling devices throughout a building. Sears, Radio Shack, and
   others offer these compatible units)
    The unit also has an alarm input, a listen feature, a short voicmail box,
   and responds to all commands in a pleasant female voice. The system IDs
   with your recorded voice and call sign.  This description doesn't do the
   product justice, so please check out the new homepage at :

                   http://www.halcyon.com/pos.time.sys/top

   or you may email us with you address so that we can promptly send you
   our brochure and newsletter.

   NOTE: This product is intended for US voltages of 120 / 220 VAC.  Another
   version is offered to support other international power standards.

   FLASH! NEW FEATURE!  The RCS-I has a new feature called Secure Access
   Mode(SAM).  When enabled, the access code changes dozens of times per
   hour, making it virtually impossible to hack into.

   This Product will work on other radio services like GMRS. Marine and
   Business bands!

   Thank You,

Remember the good 'ol days when catalogs used to be FREE?  They'd even
give you one of those huge 5-cell flashlights or a free battery to come
in and get it.  No more!  Mine cost me $3.18...not only do you have to
PAY for the catalog, you have to pay TAX on it besides!

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

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

A question ot 2 to net wisdom:

I just bought a BC2500XLT and have been having lots of fun with it.
What is the opinion of the readers about this scanner?  I understand
it was top of the line until the 3000XLT came out but that one is
almost $100 more than the 2500.  I saw in the faq that some people had
problems with it.  What kind?

Also, I am trying to listen to the local police dept. (470.3625 MHz).
The technical Spec. Sheet about the scanner says that the default steps
in the 400-512 MHz region is 12.5 kHz.  When I try to program the
correct frequency in, the scanner defaults to 470.3600 MHz.  Will I
still be able to hear the police (I do hear occasional conversations
but am not sure if it's them), or do I need some kind of mod to make the
scanner more sensitive in this zone?  How about other frequency regions?
Can and should I try to get the most resolution I can in all or is that
a waste of time?  Is it even possible to do?

Thanks for any and all.

I have the 2500 and love it !!  I like the manual channel/freq select
knob on the top and also the volume/squelch set up.  The 3000 does
not have this arrangement.
I have not had any serious problems.  The intermod can be a problem but
I have not had any serious troubles with it even when I have taken the
scanner with me to Philadelphia.

Press the "stp" key and it will step thru several "step sizes", select
what you want then program the channel.  Press the "." twice to return
to the default "step".

FWIW - Be sure not to scan/search between 1200-1270 Mhz. as cellular
comes in loud and clear!!

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

Here in Dallas they are available as well for $150 "refurbished". They
list on the box what was wrong. Many say just "case scratches". Please

And is this a good price?

--- your article omitted ---

I believe what you're hearing is called intermod.  It is a characteristic
(we use the term "bug" in the computer industry) of the Pro-43.  It's
annoying as hell.  My guess is that you're experiencing the intermod
somewhere around the 155.xxxx freqs.  I've found it to be most prevalant
there.

I've posted here numerous times concerning correcting it, and have
received no acceptable answers.  Unfortunately, it seems to be something
you'll have to live with.

Equally frustrated,
FRank

It's true.

The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the
portable PRO-62.

Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images.
Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far
away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted
interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

For more info, see the PRO-2037 review in July 1995 Monitoring Times.

Hi all.


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

Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Jesse

Well I have checked all of the L.O.s, fixed or otherwise.  The 36 MHz VXO
(yes variable crystal oscillator) is mixed against a couple of other
L.O.s.  This 36 MHz L.O. is "bent" to give the 0.1 kHz steps from
XXX.XX0.0 to XXX.XX9.9.  This L.O. is the one that is controlled via the
PLL.

I still can not tell why this L.O. just jumps off freq every once in a
while.

Does anyone have an e-mail address or a Web page for Icom?

Thanks.

Umm, they are not BROADCASTING. It it against regulations to broadcast

regulations to listen without authorization.

Perhaps the Island Airport knows.

Hello To All....
        I'm a new student up here at Willamette U. looking for info on
frequencies here. I've got a Sportcat 150, so my coverage isn't complete,
but any help with stuff in the 406-520 and 800-850 bands would be great.
        In particular I'm looking for Willamette U frequencies also.
Those would be of great help.

Hello,
 I've been considering the purchase of a scanner pre-amp and was
wondering if anyone out there has any experience using them. I'm familiar
with the use of pre-amps (been a ham for 20 years), but was just
wondering how efficient they were.

Any info would be appreciated....pse e-mail at below address.
Thanks ,

I,ve been using an ordinary Archer UHF VHF FM TV preamp for several years
on a pro-39.  Works pretty good at peaking up some of the weaker stations
but sometimes overloads the front end.
  I did have to modify the connectors on the darn thing to get it to adapt.

Dick Smith Electronics have this on special at the moment for $399. Is this a
good scanner? It says it handles 66-68, 108-190, 408-516 something like that
anyway.

The next scanner up in their range is the uniden 200xlt I think and thats $599.

Thanks.

John,

It will be very hard for you to find a 2006 without the cellular mod. The
mod is so easy to do that it akes no skill and about 3 minutes.
Therefore, everyone does it.

154.400 is used by Burlington County, NJ as a FD fireground and response
frequency. Sometimes when conditions permit NYC causes interference.

I ordered one from Waldenbooks and the clerk said it was $19.95 when I
ordered. The computer printed order form also said $19.95. The book
scanned in at $29.95. The clerk said the price must have gone up and it is
now $29.95. I asked for the manager who told the clerk, 'mark it down to
$19.95'. Thanks to a previous poster for the tip.

 Chris, the folks that I've talked to, (no WM types) have enjoyed and
 profited from the courses offered by Gunsite.

 You may want to look into attending a satellite course at a local range
 if any are being offered in your area.  That is 100 Pistol, and it is
 $300, plus a fairly large amount of "Factory power" ammo, I think in the
 neighborhood of 300 rounds, for the two day course.  $300 is less than
 the cost of flying to Arizona and the cost of the 250 course.

 Also, you will need to be prepared to offer credentials, including a
 notarized letter from a local LE dept or judge declaring you a good
 citizen/non-criminal, and also a letter of recommendation from someone
 in your community that can vouch for your good character...this can
 came even from your pastor, if you attend church.

 I think these types of credentials requirements probably weed out some
 of the Walter Mitty types up front.  Also, please be aware that these
 instructors, along with all other "combat" type schools, demand absolute
 100% observance of range safety at all times, and a single infraction
 can get you dismissed from the class on the spot.

Manual says there is.  Caution this will clear all programmed
information.  First, Turn off unit.  Second, Press and hold the 2 and 9
keys.  Turn on the scanner while holding those keys.

Hope that helps.

In the mag WEapons and Law Enforcement, they have a section on cases that
were upheld after appeal.  One of them dealt with a drug bust that was
reported by a citizen listening on a scanner to cell phone users.  Another
one involved a life-threatening one where someone was going to try to kill
somebody.  Both cases involved 4th Amendment, "Just or Probable Cause" to
enter without a warrant< issues.  Appeals judges affirmed the original
convictions that were based upon knowledge given to police by scanner
users. I'm not an attorney, but I read a lot of legal papers, particularly
on "probable or just cause issues." For the record, I'm for protecting "us"
innocents in cases like this.  If someone chooses to use the airwaves to
discuss a crime, then he or she gives up the right to privacy. That's my
opinion; take it for what it's worth.

For info, the 4th Amendment was mainly put into the Bill of Rights because
the first signator on the Declaration of Independence was jailed based on
letters found on his desk during an illegal search by the British about
1772-1773.  Hancock also had all of the other nine issues done to him by
the British that are in the "Bill of Rights."

Just thought you'd like to know how our history plays a role in today's
world.

Hi.  How would you compare the three scanners (Yupi, RS and AOR) on these
items:

- sensitivity of RX
- selectivity of RX
- loudness of speaker
- ease of programmability


Thank's

Cheers!

The more I hear about the AOR8000 the more I'm inclined to drewl! <G>

I remember going to Dayton a couple of years ago and they had and Opto
display of all the different models of frequency counters.  I keyed up my
2m handie-talkie and, unfortunately, the counters all showed slightly
different readings.  This would make them pretty much unuseable for any
serious bench work.  But for what you are doing they would be ideal.
BTW, the error on the counters was something in the order of + or - 5Khz.

Now this was on VHF.  On UHF and 800+Mhz the error would be much greater
- maybe even enough to cause the AOR8000 to tune incorrectly.

Just some thoughts.

Cheers!

Andy

+/- 5 kHz ain't too shabby right out of the box.  I believe all of Opto's
counters may be adjusted right on with a front-panel tweaker.

I think "frequency sniffers" are neat, but as the original
posted stated, an error of 5 kHz at 146 MHz is terribly inaccurate
for a frequency counter used as a test instrument.
That's an error greater than 34 ppm (parts per million).  An accuracy
at least 10 times better is required for repair work.

Too, 5 kHz accuracy at 146 MHz is just barely adequate for finding
frequencies to program in a scanner unless you know the bandplan
and the station you monitor conforms to the bandplan.  Extrapolating
the error to UHF means you'd be off by about 15 kHz.

My Dad just gave me his dead BearCat 170 scanner.

I fixed it by replacing the wall-wart power supply with
a clone from the local electronics surplus store.

It now comes up with the display. On the display it says
"MEMORY LOSS" and all 16 channels show 0000.0000 as a
frequency. Of course Dad can't find the manual and does
not remember how to program it.

Can someone tell me how to program the channels?
Failing that does someone have the phone number for
the maker of the BearCat 170 (Uniden?).

Thanks

While I like my handheld scanner, I'd like it even more if it wasn't
cellular blocked.

Many published articles on other scanners indicate that the single method
used to block cellular programming was through diodes which prevent the
user from entering the 'prohibited' frequencies.  This allowed the scanner
manufacturer to make the same unit and be able to export it to the USA
blocked.

Bottom line....  Anybody have any modification instructions for the Bearcat
BC220XLT?  Can my scanner be mechanically modified (such as removing a
diode) or reprogrammed from the keypad?

Is the BC220XLT sold in Canada blocked?  Does anyone have a schematic for
the US model?

Solutions desired.  Please leave an e-mail to:

I asked the same question several months ago.
It picks up quite a bit of cellular traffic unmodified though.

I took my bc220xlt apart to find a very small circuit board
with nothing but SMTs...Who the hell knows what all
those things are?
I'll look for a Sams on it.  Most catalogs and magazines say
it can't be modified.
Where there is a will there is a way.

I wanted to get into scanning. I went to my local radio store and told them I wanted a scanner that
would give me the best coverage; I did't care how much I paid. They sold me a Uniden Bearcat
UBC9000XLT.

I think I've got a good scanner (Comments?) , and I've been listening to many different types of
services, but can anyone tell me why my scanner won't receive 550MHz -> 759.950MHz ???

I mean Iv'e got over 1GHz of bandwidth to listen to, but the sales person told me that this scanner
picks up _EVERYTHING_ from 25MHz -> 1.3GHz. Why then, doesn't it cover the above?

Hope someone can help out...

Also, another question. Birdies. What are they? The manual says that I will receive them at certain
freuencies, and I do. But why?

Thanks,


Paul.

Does Beldon have a BBS, Web site, etc, where they post the specs for
various cables they sell? I have some Ethernet Thinnet I'd like
to use and wonder how its specs differ from other cable Beldon sells.
Thanks

I have the service manual for the Pro-2026 and it calls the component Y201
a ceramic resonator YY-1022 CSB800J.  The manufacturer's part number is
BYYY1022001.  On the Block Diagram it has the following information:  Y201
800KHz.  On the Schematic it has the following information:  Y201 YY1022
800KHz.  That is all the information the service manual has on component
Y201.

                 BUYING A USED SCANNER RADIO

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

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

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

           A Used Scanner May be a Broken Scanner

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

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

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

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

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

                             AOR

 AR2700: 1995 vintage.  500 channel  portable  covering  500
 kHz  to 1300 MHz.  Lots of good features, e.g., 10 linkable
 search banks, lighted keypad,  per-channel  attenuator,  S-
 meter,  battery  meter,  optional voice recorder and speech
 inversion descrambler.  Global rescan and pause delays, but
 no  auto  store,  data skip, nor battery saver.  Internally
 generated noise results in broad birdies on AR2700  tested.
 Insensitive  carrier  operated (vs. noise operated) squelch
 stays closed on signals unless they are moderately  strong,
 causing scanner to skip transmissions of interest.


                            ICOM

 R-7000: 1986 vintage.  At about $1000, this  was  once  the
 top VHF/UHF receiver.  99 channel, multi mode coverage from
 25-2000 MHz with a small gap at 1000-1025 MHz.  Memory  can
 be  expanded to 198 channels by adding simple switch to pin
 19 of memory IC8.  Tuning knob lets you tune through  parts
 of  the  spectrum much easier than using the SEARCH mode on
 conventional scanners.  Selectable USB/LSB allows reception
 of  new amplitude compandored sideband (ACSB) stations.  S-
 meter doubles as discriminator meter to aid tuning.  Useful
 search  and  store  feature, reminiscent of the the Bearcat
 250, searches between 2 limits and automatically stores new
 frequencies   into   channels  80-99.   Audio  and  control
 interface for tape recorder.  Noisy relay,  activated  when
 the  receiver  is  tuned  to  frequencies  above  520  MHz.
 Searches and scans slowly but can be sped up  to  about  12
 cps  by  adding  a  resistor.  Too big for permanent mobile
 use, but too nice to leave alone in the car.  If you  don't
 want  to  spend  $1000,  get  a  Radio  Shack  PRO-2004/5/6
 instead.

 R-7100: 1992 vintage.  At about $1300, this is the Cadillac
 of  VHF/UHF  receivers.  900 channel, multi mode continuous
 coverage from 25-2000 MHz.  The radio RF/IF/AF portions  of
 the  R7100 are similar to the older R7000, but the R7100 is
 constructed using surface mount parts.  Both the R7000  and
 R7100   are   much   more   immune  to  intermod  than  the
 Uniden/Bearcat  760XLT  and  the  portable   PRO-43.    The
 firmware  in the R7100 is much more sophisticated.  9 banks
 of 100 channels.  Further, you can associate  each  channel
 with 1 of 10 groups.  Many possible ways to scan.  10 pairs
 of search limits.  Search and store ("memory  write")  scan
 mode  lets  you  store 100 frequencies instead of the 20 in
 R7000.  Another R7100 improvement is that you  can  program
 up  to  100 channels for the R7100 to skip while searching.
 R7100 has 2 VFOs ("windows").  Both  the  R7000  and  R7100
 scan slowly compared with PRO-2004 and PRO-2006, and that's
 a drawback.  Both the R7100 and R7000 employ a noisy relay,
 activated  when  the receiver is tuned to frequencies above
 520 MHz.  Scanning a mixture of  VHF  and  UHF  frequencies
 serenades  the  Icom  user  with  a very annoying clickety-
 clack, clickety-clack!


             UNIDEN/Bearcat and Electra/Bearcat

 Bearcat III (Electra): 1976  vintage.   8  channel  crystal
 controlled  scanner.   Requires  optional front-end circuit
 board for VHF-low, VHF-high, and  UHF  bands,  but  only  2
 boards  can be installed within the radio at the same time.
 Two crystal filters.  No aircraft band coverage nor  rescan
 delay.   Front  mount  speaker  sounds  good.  Strong local
 oscillator radiation often causes interference  with  other
 scanners in the same house.

 Bearcat IV (Electra): 8 channel crystal controlled scanner.
 Newer   version  of  Bearcat  III  but  contains  front-end
 circuitry for VHF-low, VHF-high,  and  UHF  bands.   Better
 selectivity  than  Bearcat  III  or  12 due to having three
 instead of two 10.8  MHz  IF  filters.   No  aircraft  band
 coverage.   Front  mount  speaker  sounds  good.  No rescan
 delay.

 Bearcat 5 (Electra): 1979 vintage.  Eight  channel  economy
 base  model covering VHF-low, VHF-high, and UHF bands.  117
 VAC only.  No track tuning.  Black plastic cabinet.

 Bearcat 6  (Electra):  Six  channel  VHF-low  and  VHF-high
 bands.  117 VAC only.  Wood covered particle board cabinet.

 Bearcat 8 (Electra): Eight channel VHF-low,  VHF-high,  and
 UHF  bands.   117  VAC  only.   Wood covered particle board
 cabinet.

 Bearcat 12 (Electra): 1979 vintage.  One of the last decent
 crystal  controlled  scanners.  10 channels.  Variable scan
 speed up to 20 ch/sec.  Single delay on/off switch.   Front
 mount  speaker  sounds  good.   Manual  contains schematic.
 Single conversion, 10.8 MHz IF.  Selectivity is poorer than
 programmable   models,  like  the  300,  allowing  adjacent
 channel interference.  Covers VHF-low,  VHF-high,  and  UHF
 bands  but  no  aircraft  band coverage.  Crystal positions
 must be arranged by band.

 Bearcat 15 (Electra):  1983  vintage.   Actually  made  for
 Electra  by  competitor GRE (General Research Electronics).
 The only Bearcat  crystal  controlled  base/mobile  scanner
 offering 118 - 136 MHz AM aircraft band.  10 channels.

 BC101 (Electra): 1975 vintage.  First  Bearcat  synthesized
 unit.   16  channels, no priority.  Frequency programmed in
 binary by setting toggle  switches  on  front  panel  after
 looking  up code in code book.  No frequency readout.  Uses
 custom IC for CPU, now discontinued, so factory  authorized
 service  is  no  longer  available.   I  have four of these
 units.  DC operation requires optional mobile power supply.

 BC100 (Electra): First programmable portable  scanner.   Be
 prepared  for at least one repair in the first year.  Early
 units, with threaded antenna connector, have high frequency
 of  repair, particularly LCD readout, keyboard, and battery
 holder.  No battery backup.   Poor  case  design  in  early
 units  caused  battery  to disconnect from radio, resetting
 microprocessor and clearing memories.  No priority  channel
 or  aircraft  band.  Some people swear by the BC100, others
 swear at them.

 BC220 (Electra): 1979 vintage.   20  channels.   Reasonable
 number  of  features  but  20 channels doesn't seem enough.
 Service Search for Marine and Aircraft.  LED readout.  Good
 scanner, but tinny audio.

 BC20/20 (Electra): 1981 vintage.  Similar to BC220 but with
 40  channels  and different CPU circuitry.  A maximum of 20
 channels can be scanned at one time.  Reasonable number  of
 features.   Service  Search  for  Marine and Aircraft.  LED
 readout.  Good scanner, but tinny audio.

 BC250 (Electra): 1976 vintage.  50 channel model,  rich  in
 features,  but lacks aircraft band and 144-146 MHz.  Search
 and Store feature  extremely  useful  for  finding  federal
 frequencies.   Clock.   High  frequency  of  repair.  Power
 transistors not heat sinked adequately, causing heat damage
 to  surrounding  components  and circuit board.  Failure of
 Q204 on the  feature  board  known  to  cause  odd  display
 readings.   Digital  circuitry  very  sensitive to glitches
 caused by static and AC line spikes.  Avoid 1978 or earlier
 vintage  units.   All  BC250s  use custom ICs (e.g., IC6, a
 divider chip, mfd. by Exar), which are now discontinued, so
 factory service is no longer available from Uniden.

 BC260 (Electra): 1983  vintage.   Super  heavy  duty  metal
 cabinetry  and  lit  controls,  aimed  at  mobile  use  for
 firemen, police, etc.  Few frills,  only  16  channels,  no
 aircraft, but generous coverage of federal bands omitted in
 the older Bearcat scanners.   Good  sensitivity.   Lots  of
 audio.    Good  internal  construction.   Backlit  keyboard
 allows operation in the dark, but  the  keyboards  on  some
 units require high pressure to operate.  Brightness control
 for display and keyboard,  but  multiplexor  circuitry  for
 vacuum fluorescent display produces audible whine which may
 be annoying in a quiet room.  Backlighting may fail in some
 units due to poor contact on connector used to fasten light
 panel to front circuit board.  9 volt regulator  transistor
 Q28  (TIP29)  may fail, causing blank display while leaving
 audio intact.  Method of connecting an external speaker  is
 awkward.

 BC300 (Electra): 1979 vintage.  50 channel top of the  line
 scanner.   Service  Search feature contains 11 ROM banks of
 preprogrammed channels.   Switching  power  supply  failure
 noted  in  early  units  due  to insufficient capacitance -
 component value was changed  in  newer  units.   Schematics
 show  at  least 100 components changed between earliest and
 later units.  Preset squelch  pot,  mounted  internally  on
 circuit  board,  misadjusted  in  new  units  -  adjustment
 usually required after burn-in period.   Good  sensitivity.
 Built  in  clock.  I leave it on 24 hours a day.  This is a
 favorite.

 BC350 (Electra): 1981 vintage.  50  channels  in  5  banks.
 Includes  aircraft.   Used to be Bearcat's top of the line,
 overpriced  scanner  but  never  very  popular.   Dual  use
 keyboard  and  display  allowed  8  text  characters  to be
 associated  with   each   channel,   a   feature   clumsily
 implemented,  and  awkward  to  use.   Units  plagued  with
 various hardware problems  including  bad  memory  ICs  and
 short  life  power  transformers.   Firmware  bugs  without
 cures.  The BC300 is a much better scanner than the  BC350,
 and at a lower price.

 BC760XLT (Uniden): Also sold as  BC950XLT  through  Scanner
 World.    Small,  mobile  scanner  supplied  with  mounting
 bracket and wall wart AC power supply.  Some  of  the  keys
 are  backlit.   100  channels  in 5 banks.  Service search.
 Earlier version has  Motorola  type  antenna  jack  and  AA
 battery  backup.   Later  version  has BNC antenna jack and
 internal lithium battery.   Can  be  fitted  with  optional
 CTCSS  decoder.   Hyper  sensitive and easily overloaded by
 strong signals, especially when used with  outdoor  antenna
 in  base  applications.   Conventional 10.8 MHz IF prone to
 images.  Television audio heard in some places.

 BC800XLT (Uniden): 1985 vintage.  40 channels in two banks.
 Covers  806-912  MHz,  as well as of vhf, uhf, and aircraft
 bands.  Receives 10 meter fm and all of 6 meters,  as  well
 as federal portions of vhf and uhf bands.  Fewer birdies on
 vhf-lo band than other scanners.  Scans and  searches  very
 fast.   Clean,  robust  audio output.  Extremely sensitive,
 but very prone to overload by strong signals when connected
 to  outdoor antenna.  Too much play (hysteresis) in squelch
 adjustment - can be  improved  by  changing  one  resistor.
 Positive terminal in memory backup battery holder installed
 backwards in early units, allowing memory loss when scanner
 unplugged  from AC outlet.  Tunes in increments of 12.5 KHz
 on 800 MHz band, whereas cellular telephones are on 30  KHz
 channels.   See "The Bearcat 800XLT ... an Owner's Report,"
 by Bob Parnass, in Monitoring Times, March 1986.

 BC860XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage.   100  channel  table  top
 unit.   Can  lock  out  10  channels  during  search.  Good
 performer except  for  images.   See  "The  Uniden  Bearcat
 BC860XLT,"  by  Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, May
 1995.

 BC890XLT (Uniden): Same as Radio  Shack  PRO-2036.   Tuning
 knob.   200  channels,  global delay.  Count, AUX, and Auto
 Store features.  Scans and searches fast.  Accepts optional
 CTCSS  board.   Dual  conversion  with 10.8 MHz first IF --
 lots of images and  birdies.   Prone  to  severe  intermod,
 especially  when  used  with  an outdoor antenna.  See "The
 Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass,
 in June 1995 Monitoring Times.

 BC9000XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage.  High quality base  using
 up-conversion.   500  channels  in twenty banks.  Up to 250
 channels can be programmed with alpha labels.  Tuning knob.
 Selectable  AM, NFM, WFM modes.  Very fast scan and search.
 Can  lock  out  50  channels  during  search.   Delay   and
 attenuator  independently  programmable  for  each channel.
 Effective Auto Store  feature  stores  unique  frequencies.
 Good  RF  section,  but not as robust as PRO-2004/5/6.  One
 urban user, located within a couple of  blocks  of  several
 high  power  transmitters, reports severe desense problems.
 See "The Uniden Bearcat BC9000XLT," by Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,
 in Monitoring Times, March 1995.

 BC100XLT (Uniden): 1987 vintage.   Very  good  100  channel
 portable  with  10 priority channels.  Unique feature tells
 whether a  given  frequency  has  already  been  memorized.
 Generous   coverage   of   conventional   bands,  including
 commercial aircraft, but no 800 MHz.   Decent  leather-like
 case.  Slide-on 550 mAH NiCd battery pack.

 BC200XLT (Uniden): 1987 vintage.   Also  sold  as  BC205XLT
 through  Scanner  World.   Very good 200 channel version of
 BC100XLT portable scanner but includes 800  MHz  band.   10
 priority  channels.   Unique  feature tells whether a given
 frequency has already been memorized.  Decent  leather-like
 case.  Slide-on NiCd battery pack.

 BC2500XLT (Uniden): 400 channel portable with tuning  knob.
 Plagued  by  intermod  and  images.   Early  units  drained
 batteries quickly even while turned off.

 BC3000XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage.   Excellent  400  channel
 portable  with  20  banks.  Up conversion.  Very fast scan,
 search, and intelligent Auto Store.  Mode, attenuator,  and
 delay   settings   programmable   for   each  channel.   50
 frequencies  can  be  locked  out  during  search.   Larger
 speaker  than  PRO-26  produces better, crisper audio.  See  |

 Monitoring Times, April 1995.


                           Regency

 TMR series: First generation crystal scanners. Come in  all
 varieties  of  band  coverage. Models with both UHF and VHF
 bands  must   use   separate   antennas   for   each   band
 (disadvantage  in mobile installations, but can be overcome
 by  connecting  two  front  ends  via  a  capacitor).   Not
 sensitive enough to cover the entire 30 - 50 MHz range in a
 single  model.   There  three  versions  of  VHF-low   band
 coverage  depending  on  the  part  of the 30 - 50 MHz band
 covered (LL, LM. and  LH).   TMR  scanners  use  unsocketed  |
 incandescent  bulbs  for  channel  indicators which require  |
 periodic  replacement.   Easy  to  crystal:   Radio   Shack  |
 crystals  work  well.   TMRs usually $2 and up at hamfests,  |
 often in poor condition.  Don't pay more than $50, even  if
 mint. Front ends must be tuned for selected portions within
 the  bands  for  best  sensitivity.  Wide  IF   selectivity
 troublesome  in  urban/suburban  areas.  Primitive  digital
 scanning circuitry may become confused at times. but  power
 off/on  restores  sanity.  Replace  aging capacitors in the
 scanning circuits. You can find a TMR8H eight channel  high
 band unit most often.

 TME series: The base versions of the TMR models.  Both  the
 TME  and TMR models share many common circuits but the base
 versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel.   The
 most  common  TME model is the TME8 H/LM eight channel dual
 band scanner in a metal cabinet with wood coloring.

 ACTR series: Replaced the Regency TMR units.  By  the  time  |
 Regency  made  the  ACTR  units,  they  no  longer  offered  |
 different models for different parts of the  30  -  50  MHz
 band.   Look  for  the later ACT series, e.g., ACTR-106 (10
 channel tri band) or ACTR20/6 (20 channel tri  band),  used
 light  emitting  diodes  for  channel indicators instead of
 incandescent bulbs.  Available in 1 to 20 channel models  -
 most  are multi band receivers.  Somewhat wide selectivity.
 Not all that bad a deal if cheap.

 ACTE series: The base versions of  the  ACTR  series.   The
 ACTE  and  ACTR  circuitry  is  similar,  although the base
 versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel.   The  |
 most  common ACTE model is the ACTE8 H/L eight channel dual  |
 band scanner in a black metal cabinet.


 WHAMO-10: Regency's first synthesized scanner.   Appearance
 more like a crystal scanner, with a single LED per channel.
 User has to break off teeth on  a  metal  'comb'  for  each
 channel  according  to  a  code  book.  External  frequency
 control unit DFS-5K optional. UHF VCO reference  oscillator
 drifts  on  some units. Soldered sheet metal shields around
 some circuitry make access to some components difficult for
 servicing.  Comb  sockets  prone  to  bad connections after
 moderate  use.   Not   recommended   due   to   maintenance
 difficulties.

 K500: Nice wood-like cabinet.  40 channel model with  every
 feature  Regency  could  dream  of  in  one scanner, except
 aircraft band. Idle tone bypass feature  for  mobile  phone
 stations  works  about  50%  of  the  time.  Weather  alert
 feature. Service Search in several banks. Search and  Store
 facility  not implemented as well as BC250, but better than
 none. Built in clock when radio off or in manual mode.  Can
 be  programmed  out  of  band.  Reasonable performance, but
 sensitivity could be better. Spring  contacts  on  membrane
 keyboard may need soldering after prolonged use.

 K100: Bare bones version  of  the  K500.  10  channels,  no
 priority  feature.  Same  wood-like  cabinet and reasonable
 performance as K500. Spring contacts on  membrane  keyboard
 may need soldering after prolonged use.

 M400: 30 channel replacement for K500.  Service Search, but
 no  aircraft.  Easily  programmable  out  of band. Built in
 clock when radio off or in manual  mode.  Backlit  keyboard
 good  for  night  viewing  and mobile use but generates RFI
 into nearby SW receivers. A favorite.

 MX3000: 30 channel replacement for M400, but basic features
 only.  Nice  lit keyboard, but may cause RFI into nearby SW
 receivers.  Easily  programmable  out  of  band,   but   no
 aircraft. All 30 channels are in a single bank, and lack of
 direct channel access make this  model  more  difficult  to
 operate. Good first scanner.

 M100: 10 channel unit.  Same  as  MX3000  except  different
 color  and  fewer  channels.  Nicely  lit keyboard, but may
 cause RFI into nearby SW receivers.

 HX1000:  Good,   fairly   rugged,   30   channel   handheld
 synthesized  unit.  Generous out of band coverage but no AM
 aircraft coverage. Built by Azden. Very sensitive  on  UHF,
 but   annoying   audio  hiss  leaks  through  speaker  when
 squelched. Belt clip chintzy, but can be directly  replaced
 with better clip from Kenwood TR2600A. Like the MX3000, all
 30 channels are in  a  single  bank,  and  lack  of  direct
 channel  access  make this model more difficult to operate.
 Low discount price makes this best choice for  programmable
 portable.

 HX650/H604: 6 channel  crystal  portable.  Likely  made  by
 Sanyo.  Same as Fannon and Bearcat Thin Scan units, (except
 that Bearcat has 10.8 MHz IF frequency, and  is  harder  to
 get  crystals for), but scans faster. Small size and common
 crystals (available at Radio Shack), make this  1st  choice
 for bare bones portable scanner.


                         Radio Shack

 PRO2004: 1986 vintage.  Top of the line, wide band  scanner
 for  1987.  After a diode is cut, enjoy continuous coverage
 from 25-520 and 760-1300 MHz, AM, NBFM, and WBFM.  Has  300
 channels  in  10  banks  of 30, backed up by conventional 9
 volt alkaline battery.  Any channel can be  designated  the
 priority  channel.   Scans and searches fast.  Lots of well
 designed features, like 10 pairs of search limits,  Lockout
 Review,  default search increment and emission mode.  Sound
 Squelch allows skipping  dead  carriers  during  search  or
 scan.    Metal  cabinet,  good  internal  construction  and
 shielding, but no mobile mounting bracket or DC power cord.
 Soft   touch   membrane  keyboard.   Good  sensitivity  and
 selectivity.  Very good radio.  See  "Product  Review:  The
 Radio  Shack PRO-2004 Programmable Scanner," by Bob Parnass
 AJ9S,  in  The  Radio  Enthusiast,   February   1987,   and
 Monitoring Times, March 1987.

 PRO2005: 1989 vintage.  Essentially a size reduced PRO-2004
 with  surface  mount  components  and  400  channels.  Some
 people think the small knobs, smaller display, and  plastic
 cabinet  are  a  setback  from the 2004.  The smaller size,
 real rubber keyboard, and  vertical  front  panel  make  it
 easer  to  use mobile, although there is no mobile mounting
 bracket available and the keyboard is  not  backlit.   More
 sensitive  than  the  PRO-2004  but  800  MHz  signals leak
 through into the commercial aero band.  Highly recommended.
 See  "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2005 Programmable
 Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S,  in  The  Radio  Enthusiast,
 June 1989, and RCMA Journal, August 1989.

 PRO2006: 1990 vintage.  Essentially the  same  as  PRO-2005
 but  scans faster.  Probably the best scanner made to date.
 Highly recommended.  See "The Realistic PRO-2006,"  by  Bob
 Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, October 1990.

 PRO-2035: 1995 vintage.  Cumbersome 100 channel bank  size.
 Tuning  knob.   Poor  dynamic  range.   10  linkable search
 banks.  Dumb Auto Store feature stores the same frequencies
 over and over.  See "The Radio Shack PRO-2035 - How Does It
 Compare With the  PRO-2006?,"  by  Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,  in
 Monitoring Times, January 1995.

 PRO34: Portable scanner  with  200  channels  and  800  MHz
 coverage.  Ten "monitor" channels.  Operates from AA cells.
 Slow scanning, low audio output, and chintzy  plastic  case
 detract  from  an  otherwise  good  performance.  No decent
 leather case available from Radio Shack.   If  you  need  a
 portable  with 800 MHz, get a Bearcat 200XLT.  If you can't
 get a 200XLT, get a PRO-34.

 PRO2021: Base/mobile scanner.  200 channels  in  10  banks,
 LCD  display  and  raised  rubber keys.  Lots of memory but
 scans  too  slowly  and  lacks  800  MHz.   Ten   "monitor"
 channels.  Radio Shack seemed to have an overstock of 2021s
 as they were on sale for such a long time.  Close out price
 dipped  to  about  $200,  which  made it a nice scanner for
 beginners.

 PRO2022:  Base/mobile  scanner.   Like  the   PRO2021   but
 includes  the 800 MHz band.  Cellular images throughout the
 847.6 - 869 MHz range.  Includes power saver  circuit,  odd
 for  a  base  unit,  which  can  clip  the  first part of a
 transmission.

 PRO2036: Same as  Uniden/Bearcat  BC890XLT.   Tuning  knob.
 200  channels,  global  delay.   Scans  and  searches fast.
 Count, AUX, and  Auto  Store  features.   Accepts  optional
 CTCSS  board.   Dual  conversion  with 10.8 MHz first IF --
 lots of images and  birdies.   Prone  to  severe  intermod,
 especially  when  used  with  an outdoor antenna.  See "The
 Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass,
 in June 1995 Monitoring Times.

 PRO-2037: Triple conversion all plastic base  scanner  made
 by  GRE.  Home version of the PRO-62 portable but with more
 intermod.  200 channels  in  10  banks,  one  search  bank,
 selectable  AM  and  FM.   Uses up conversion circuitry but
 inadequate front end filtering still allows images,  though
 not  as  bad  as  in  10.7 or 10.8 MHz IF circuits.  Crisp,
 respectable audio given the top mounted speaker.  See  "The
 Radio  Shack  PRO-2037,"  by  Bob  Parnass,  in  July  1995
 Monitoring Times.

 PRO2001:  Early,  single  bank  16  channel   programmable.
 Reasonable  coverage  of  the  3  traditional  bands, minus
 aircraft band.  LED digital display as well as an  LED  per
 channel.   Mechanical  lockout  switch  for  each  channel.
 Delay is either on or off for all channels at a time.  High
 synthesizer  noise level.  Troublesome plated through holes
 on digital board in  some  units  renders  radio  virtually
 unfixable.   Could  never  get mine to work more than a few
 days in a row; always another bad connection.  Some  owners
 have no trouble.

 PRO52: 8 channel VHF-Lo/Hi  base  unit.   No  UHF  band  or
 provision   for  mobile  operation.   Good  little  scanner
 despite limited frequency  coverage  and  Spartan  lack  of
 frills.   Crisp  squelch action and good audio, helped by a
 front mounted, vertical speaker.

 PRO2003: Radio Shack's 1986 top of line.  50 channels +  10
 FM  commercial broadcast band channels.  Includes aircraft.
 Good frequency coverage and functionality, but  at  a  high
 price.   Poor human engineering: difficult to read keyboard
 makes the PRO2003 hard to operate  unless  in  a  well  lit
 room.   Keyboard  label  coloring  improved on newer units.
 Rather slow scan rate and high price.  Although  there  are
 provisions  for 12VDC operation, the cabinet shape and lack
 of mounting bracket  makes  mobile  operation  impractical.
 Scan  rate  only  8  channels/sec vs. 15/sec in Regency and
 Bearcat.  Causes  RFI:  Plastic  case  permits  scanner  to
 radiate signals into nearby receivers.

 PRO-43: Very good portable made by GRE.  First Radio  Shack
 portable  with up conversion, and 222 MHz ham and 225 - 400
 MHz military  air  band  coverage.   200  channels,  single
 search  range.   Small,  convenient  size.   Muffled audio.
 Speakers in early units known to  fail  and  more  powerful
 speakers  were  used in later units.  800 MHz band coverage
 fully restorable in early units by  removing  diode.   Uses
 same  6  cell battery tray as other high end GRE portables.
 Subject to interference in 160 - 162 MHz range.

 PRO-60: Very good portable  made  by  GRE.   200  channels,
 single  search range.  Similar features and same IFs as the
 PRO-43 it replaced  but  the  PRO-60  has  wider  frequency
 coverage  and  crisper audio.  Covers 75 MHz and commercial
 FM broadcast bands.  Improved Direct search can be  stepped
 manually in single steps.  Uses same 6 cell battery tray as
 other high end GRE portables.  Railfans take  note  --  the
 PRO-60  and PRO-43 are subject to interference in 160 - 162
 MHz range.  Draws 100 mA while  scanning  and  2  mA  while
 turned off.

 PRO-26: Very good portable  made  by  for  Radio  Shack  by
 Uniden.    200   channels,  very  fast  scan/search.   Good
 display.  Covers all TV channels, but spectrum adjacent  to
 cellular  phone  band is censored which prevents monitoring
 parts of  some  trunked  systems  (e.g.,  IL  State  Police
 district  4).   Up  to 50 frequencies can be skipped during
 search.  Limited image  rejection  causes  929  MHz  paging
 interference  in  170  MHz range.  Audio suffers from small
 speaker.

 PRO62:  Good  portable  200  channel   scanner   using   up
 conversion.   Similar  to  PRO-43 but no military air band,
 different upper frequency  limit,  and  slightly  different
 IFs.   Selectable  AM/NFM  modes.  Better intermod immunity
 than PRO-43.  See "The Radio Shack PRO-62," by Bob Parnass,
 AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, February 1995.                    *

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

 PRO-24:  Only  4  channels  in  this   crystal   controlled
 portable.   Covers  the three basic bands, but no aircraft.
 Easy to  obtain  batteries  and  crystals.   Characteristic
 Radio  Shack  squelch  problem,  fixable  by  changing  one
 resistor.  All-plastic case larger than Bearcat  Thin  Scan
 and  clones.   See "The Radio Shack PRO-24 Scanner," by Bob
 Parnass, excerpted in the "Technical Topics"  column,  RCMA
 Newsletter, February 1984.


                 Craig (division of Pioneer)

 4530: Japanese 10 channel crystal controlled 3  band  unit.
 Also   available  under  Plectron  name  but  in  different
 cabinet.  No aircraft band.  Deluxe features like priority,
 trimmer  capacitors  for  netting each channel, front panel
 speaker, and rugged metal cabinet make this unit a  winner.
 Channel lockout slide switches have finite life.  Replacing
 burned out incandescent channel lamps not fun.  Grab a 4530
 if you find one in good condition.


                           Sonar:

 Sonar  made  several  crystal   controlled   scanners   and
 channelized  monitor  receivers  which  shared  the same RF
 circuitry.  Each radio was housed in the  same  size  metal
 case  and  worked  on  both 120 VAC and 12 VDC.  The models
 differed in the number of channels, the band coverage,  and
 whether individual channels could be locked out.

 Although they used  a  10.7  MHz  first  IF,  Sonar  radios
 require  parallel  resonant  crystals  different  from  the
 common series resonant crystals used in Regency  and  Radio
 Shack  scanners.   Some  Radio  Shack crystals will work in
 Sonar units, but more often they oscillate a  few  kHz  off
 frequency and are unsuitable unless changes are made to the
 oscillator circuitry.  Therefore,  beginners  should  avoid
 these radios.  Typical Sonar squelch has long time constant
 causing a long noise burst at the end of each transmission.


 FR-104, FR-105: 6 channel monitor receivers covering  25  -
 50  MHz  or 150 - 175 MHz.  Manual channel selection, i.e.,
 no scanning.  Early models are  identified  by  an  11  pin
 connector  on  the  rear  and  they  could  be used with an
 optional NiCd battery pack and charger which bolted to  the
 rear  panel.  Later models used Cinch Jones connectors with
 flat contacts.  Optional tone decoder board.

 FR-2512, FR-2513: 24 channel versions  of  the  FR-104  and
 FR-105  monitor receivers.  Manual channel selection, i.e.,
 no scanning.

 FR-2514, FR-2515: 8 channel scanners.  Channel 1  priority.
 Recommend  you  avoid  these  models  as there is no way to
 lockout a channel from the scan sequence.

 FR-2526, FR-2526, FR-2528:  10  channel  scanners  covering
 various  combinations  of  3  bands.  Each channel could be
 locked out.  Channel 1 priority.

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  Federal
 Signal  in University Park, IL, and may be available in the
 future from:

Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CCTSS) is a sub-audible tone system
that is used to open squelch or provide access to other functions of
equipment.  Private Line or "PL" is Motorola's trademark for this system.
I think GE calls it "Tone Squelch".  CCTSS is the generic, industry name
for it.  PL is not exclusive to hams - it's used in many services.  Hams
just use the term "PL" for sub-audible tones like many would refer ALL
facial tissue as "Kleenex".

There are methods for identifying radios when they key up.  Motorola uses
a data burst called MDC-1200 or MDC-2400.  This is incorporated into
PTT-ID, emergency buttons on portables and "man-down" alerts.  There are
similar systems offered by other manufacturers.

I was talking to a good friend's roommate a while back about the Boeing
777.  He is an engineer and worked on the design of the anticollision
(strobe) lights you see on the wingtips.

He was saying that they designed the lights for the 777 from scratch and
ended up using special composites on the housing and reflectors for one
reason...weight.  The goal was to get the assemblies from about 10 lbs to
under 7.  Sounded like a lot of work to save three pounds on each wing of
such a large jet. I am a private pilot and appreciate lightweight
equipment myself when flying a Cessna 182 - but would 6 lbs really effect
a 777 ???  Check this out....

I don't know if I recall the numbers he related to me exactly - but for
every pound they can cut from the aircraft weight, they will save ONE
THOUSAND POUNDS of fuel each year....or something along that line.  I
remember how UPS Next Day Air ads used to talk about how they kept their
planes washed - even though they already carry a thousand pounds of paint
on the skin, I guess twenty or thirty pounds of dirt can make a
difference.

Just gives you a feel for how important all of the design work is, huh.

The problem isn't with the airlines or the FCC. But, just why would an
airline want to encourage the use of private cellphones when they can have
the profits from the AIRPHONE concession???? Lets ignore, for the moment,
the problem that a cell phone operating at 20,000 feet creates by accesing
numerous cell sites at widely spaced locations (say over a thousand square
miles).

Another reality:
Part of the algorithem for the search for cloned cellphones deals with
widely spaced cell sites being accessed at the same time.

It does happen.  The radios for most jets set under the floor about where the
divider between coach and first class is (according to a pilot I talked to who
was deadheading one time).

I was on an L-1011 out of SFO and we pulled out of the gate...pulled back
in...back out, etc about 6 times.  Everytime we pulled out, the nav equipment
went out.  When we pulled back in, the equipment worked.  Turns out...some guy
was using a camcorder as we started back out and stopped when we pulled back
in.  I couldn't believe it, but once they made him put it up, everything worked
fine.

I agree, it would be nice if they could insulate the equipment so that wouldnt
be a problem.

Later

Mike

This is true.  I was flying recently and it dawned on me mid-flight
that I didn't turn off my handheld cell.  When I grabbed it out of the
bag to turn it off there was the "NO SVC" light turned on.  At
30,000+ feet you don't get a cell signal.

Nevada has a line of Double Discones that are similar to what you
describe but there is no disk at the bottom.  It should actually be
called a Double Cone antenna.

In my hometown, I've heard the cops do Beavis and Butthead imitations
over their radios.   Sometimes, I hear music come over the frequency
also.  I assume they key up their radio and hold it up to the their
car's stereo.

All this wacky stuff seems to happen very late at night.

This reminds me of one I heard once. I was listening to a Utah Highway
Patrol dispatcher give the description for an ATL (attempt to locate)
suspect. Her description went something like this:

"...white male, 5' 10", blue hair, brown eyes..." then a pause during
which you could hear a hysterical laugh from a dispatcher in the
background. Then, she unkeyed the mike for a minute, keyed up again and
continued as if nothing happened.

Ah, the joys of scanning...

As you would imagine, the FCC maintains a database of all broadcast
stations licensed for operations in or near the US.  This information
is available from their FTP site, FTP.FCC.GOV.  The file containing
the FM station data contains over 8 MB of information in a 2 MB file.
The information is stored in a format which is not usable directly.
While few people would be interested in browsing through all of this
data, many people, myself included, would be interested in getting a
list of all of the nearby FM stations, with a few of the more
important station parameters displayed in an easy-to-read format.

Toward this goal, I developed a script which retrieves the FM database
and generates a concise list of FM stations in my area.  The first few
lines of this list are shown below.  The columns show each station's
frequency, station class, callsign, effective radiated power and
antenna polarization, latitude and longitude, distance and heading
(useful for antenna pointing), and the state and city of the station.

Freq  Class Callsign      Power   Lat       Lon         Km Deg    City
----  ----- --------      -----   ---       ---         -- ---    ----

 90.7 FX D  W214AD           30 - N38:43:12 W075:56:54  61 134 MD Easton, etc.

I thought that others might find such a list of FM stations useful,
and so I put the script on my FTP site.  Instructions on the use and
customization of this script are in the comments at the beginning of
the file.  It should be usable on just about any Unix box.  I've also
been able to run it unmodified on my PC under OS/2, using the Internet
access kit for FTP access, and the GNU version of bash, gzip, awk, fold,
sort, and other utility programs.

The URL for the file is:

        ftp://ftp.digex.net/pub/access/kodis/fmx

or if using ftp manually:

        $ ftp ftp.digex.net (log on as user anonymous)
        > cd pub/access/kodis
        > get fmx

The script is well commented, and should be easy to modify if a
different output format or selection of station parameters are
desired.  The FCC also maintains lists of all television stations
within and near the US, and of all AM stations in the Western
hemisphere.  Generating a similar list for transmissions of these
types should be a simple clone-and-hack exercise.

I hope that many of you find this a useful program.  I'd be interested
in hearing any comments, criticisms, or suggestions that you might
have, and will be happy to answer questions as time permits by e-mail
at [e-mail].

In additon to the 800Mhz freqs provided by the other fellow (which don't
show up in my FCC database):

Conowingo/Susquehanna Electric: 37.600, 37.780 Mhz

Delmarva Power: 48.240, 48.300 Mhz.

There's NO WAY to modifiy the C5121 PLL circuit for more
freqs-sorry...
This information is just a tiny part of the
specialized CB stuff you'll find at:

CBC Int'l Inc., P.O. Box 31500, Phoenix AZ 85046 USA

I wrote THE BOOK on CB repairs and modifications.
Over 100,000 copies sold since 1976. Find out why!

Brand new, never used until I took it out of the box today to
check it out.  This is the original model covering .1 MHz to
1.8 GHz, continuous coverage.  Absolutely perfect.  $525.

That's right, I have a PRO-34 with 200 Channels and FULL 800 MHz coverage.
In other words, the cellular band has been restored. (Not that you can
listen to it since that is illegal)

E-mail me with any offers.

I have every right to be suspicious but if you just blindly buy things
then that's your problem...When you charge something on a credit
card..it is paid for...where were you born?  Yesterday?

Get real..anyone can be suspicious and anyone can bring up what ever
they want.  That is what this is all about.

How is this a desire to actually GET your money.  Anyone can desire to
get money and your reasoning like your post is completely illogical.

I do see things first...so yes that is the way "I" do
business..safely.

I have sold and purchased many things on this group and the net
without ANY problems because I am careful.  I am not saying you have
to be careful because it is obvious that being careful offends you.

Oh..not a very savvy buyer..that is a big blow!  No explanation needed

Note to all:

Considering the thread of this message, I have a suggestion:

I think the following  would be an appropriate and well-timed thing to do:

Maybe Bill Funk (or anybody else) would type out a brief primer on the
proper way to buy and sell things via the internet so that both the buyer and
seller can be secure in their transactions.

Bill, will you take the time?

I see...not even paid for yet...how can you have a scanner to sell
when it is not even paid for?

$200.00...California law states anyone in possession of property which
can reasonably be determined by the average and reasonable person to
POSSIBLY be stolen will be in violation of 496 P.C. Possession of
Stolen Property.

I am not suggesting the radio is stolen so please do not start yelling
back as I will not respond.  However, since the radio is now over
$400.00 new...it is extremely suspicious that this radio is only
$200.00.

Anyone purchasing the radio should be able to examine it PRIOR to
making any payment.  This assures the purchaser that they won't get
burned...

$200.00?  Wouldn't even take the chance.

Jay

A friend of mine built his own circuit like this one and it works great on the Toronto Ambulance
system here. Not sure how similar the circuit is but the theory is probably the same...his device
decodes the data burst after the transmission and closes the squelch forcing the radio to scan
(just like having a PL decoder)...

The "red dot" frequency is VHF. The "red star" is not GMRS.


From the  FAF - Frequently Asked Frequencies
      on  ftp://oak.oakland.edu
      as  /pub/hamradio/docs/misc/scanner.faf

Dot Frequencies

    Dot color                        Other

        "Dot" stickers are used by the manufacturer or distributer to
    indicate the frequency of otherwise identical transceivers. They
    are often found in rental inventories and on construction sites.
        Note that the 462.xxx frequencies are for GMRS.

I'm writing an an overview article about scanning for a regional magazine
in Seattle.  Unlike most media, which tend to focus on the evil aspects
of everything, I'd like to include some stories where scanner listening
has provided a benefit to someone, some organization, or situation.

If you've been personally involved in something being of help as a result
of listening to your scanner, I'd like to read your story.  I need to
emphasize the "personal"involvement.

I'll try to monitor this group, as I do when I can, but it would be good to
copy any answers to me at [e-mail]

Dunno.  When the VADER was being prototyped I suggested to Bill Cheek
that this would be the way to go.  In fact I suggested that I thought
the idea of having to buy RAM dedicated to the sound recording
function was just about stupidest thing I've ever heard of,
considering that (a) hard drives are more than fast enough and (b)
disk space is so much cheaper than RAM chips.  Answer, they wanted to
make the VADER self-contained, didn't want to run under Windoze and depend
on Windoze multimedia (sound card) drivers, etc., etc.  Well, that
makes sense for part of the market, but I don't see why they couldn't
have provided this as a follow-on option.

I'm not clear on what this "vader" contrivance is supposed to
accomplish.  I would suspect that it would be a handy way of recording
traffic and note the time/date along with the recorded sample.

Come to think of it, I can't see how a couple of chips shoved in a
scanner can be made to do this to my (or anyones') satisfaction.

In fact, this could be done with very little hardware.  If you had
Cheek's abortion or better the Opto456 you would merely have to feed the
audio from the scanner to the soundcard on the computer.  The rest would
be entirely software!  Comm' audio wouldn't call for a very high sampling
rate so you could fit a lot of dialogue on a few megabytes of hard disc.
What a great idea! <G>

Cheers!

Andy

Drop by Scanners Unlimited in San Carlos (415.573.1624).  They're
on Laurel Street (one block west of, and parallel to El Camino).  In
addition to a big new & used scanner and accessory selection, they
have all kinds of excellent Bay Area (and other) frequency guides.

Try searching between 467.000 and 470 mhz. I have a complete list but it would
take me ages to type it all in. Anything in particular you are chasing. If you
have a mail address i can send the details of police freqs to you.
Try listening to 468.400/ 468.500 ( Police chatter channel) radar on 468.850.

Michelle, if you haven't already, try anonymously ftp'ing to
tbsa.com.au and checking the /scan directory - they have a lot of
Australian frequencies in there.

         HOW DO YOU FIND THESE SCANNER FREQUENCIES?

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

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

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


                            Books

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

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

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

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

 Aeronautical frequencies are covered  in  the  Aeronautical
 Frequency   Directory,   written   by  Bob  Coburn,  W1JJO.
 Although  most  of  the  information  is   about   civilian
 aviation,   Bob   included  sections  on  military  mid-air
 refueling and CAP.  The 401 page third edition is available
 from  Official Scanner Guide.  The same publisher sells the
 Maritime  Frequency  Directory  and  frequency  guides  for
 several  New  England  states.   Some  of  these  books are
 available through Radio Shack, too.

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

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

                          Magazines

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


                     Government Records

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

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

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

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

 The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. [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

        Federal Radio Stations - Not Licensed by FCC

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

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

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


                         Radio Clubs

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

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

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

 Inquiries about RCMA membership should be sent to:


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

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

 More information is available from:


                   All Ohio Scanner Club
                   50 Villa Road
                   Springfield, OH 45503



                    Do Your Own Sleuthing

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

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



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

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

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


                    Do Your Own Sleuthing

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

 You can approach from two directions:

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

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

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.


        What Makes Station Identification Difficult?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



             Examine the FCC License on Premise

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



            Examine the Labels on Radio Equipment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



           Equipment to Determine Frequency Usage

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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


                           Summary

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

I am looking for mods for my IC7100. In particular, I'd like to open the
low-end receive up <25MHz (assuming I'd have any reasonable sensitivity).
Being able to access these lower freqs. by computer control would be nice
too.

I know there's a company in England that sells a daughter board to allow
low end receive, but do not know if that is the only solution.

How about other mods??

I've had the same problems with overloading (of course!), but like you I
still like my R-1. Can you tell me where I can buy the antenna that you
refer to?

        IMPROVE THE SQUELCH IN YOUR MONITOR RECEIVER

                    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.]

 The  squelch  control  in  some  FM  monitor  receivers  is
 difficult  to  use  because  of  too  much  hysteresis. The
 American  Heritage  Dictionary  of  the  English   Language
 defines hysteresis as the:

    o  "Failure of a property changed by an  external  agent
      to  return to its original value when the cause of the
      change is removed."

 It's like  having  play  in  a  car's  steering  wheel,  or
 backlash  in  a  gear set. Too much hysteresis in a squelch
 circuit forces  one  to  keep  the  squelch  at  a  tighter
 setting, missing weaker signals when scanning or searching.
 The squelch hysteresis problem was  first  addressed  in  a
 1984   article   about   the  Radio  Shack  PRO-24  crystal
 controlled scanner.

 Why do engineers design these circuits with any hysteresis?
 Basically,  hysteresis prevents weak signals from "popping"
 the squelch open and closed rapidly, which  would  be  very
 annoying to the listener. A squelch circuit with hysteresis
 requires a stronger signal to open the squelch than it does
 to keep it open.

 Models  cursed  with  too  much  hysteresis   include   the
 Uniden/Bearcat  800XLT  and  760XLT,  Radio Shack PRO-2003,
 PRO-2004, and others.  Don't despair, the fix is simple for
 most   radios.    I've  successfully  reduced  the  squelch
 hysteresis by replacing a single resistor.

 Hysteresis is usually  implemented  by  providing  feedback
 from  the squelch gate input to output, through a resistor.
 The higher the resistor value, the less feedback there  is,
 and less hysteresis. My modification involves replacing the
 "stock"  resistor  with  a  higher   value   resistor,   as
 identified in the table below.

 This article cannot provide step-by-step  instructions  for
 each  radio. I always encourage radio hobbyists to purchase
 the service manuals for their equipment.  The  most  useful
 sections  of  the  manual  are  the  schematics and printed
 circuit diagrams.  Good  manuals  will  also  describe  the
 theory of operation and alignment procedures, and contain a
 complete parts list.

 If your radio has too much hysteresis, and is not listed in
 the  table,  study  the  service  manual.  Motorola MC3357,
 MC3359, and MC3361 integrated circuits,  which  contain  IF
 and  squelch  circuitry,  are popular in scanners. In these
 receivers, look for the hysteresis resistor to be connected
 to these ICs.


                            Notes


   1.  The author cannot  furnish  modification  information
       for other radios.

   2.  Don't   attempt   this,   or   any   other   internal
       modification,  unless  you  are skilled in electronic
       servicing.

   3.  Make sure your  receiver  is  disconnected  from  any
       power source before opening the cabinet.

                  Introduction to Scanning
                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

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

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

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


                        Why Scanning?

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

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

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

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

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


                     Is Scanning Legal?

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

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

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

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


                 What Scanner Should I Buy?

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

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

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

 Make sure your first scanner:

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

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

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

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

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

 Almost  all  low  and  mid-priced  scanners  are  prone  to
 receiving  images  -- receiving the same signal erroneously
 on two or more frequencies.  With a few exceptions,  images
 are  unwelcome  due  to  the interference they cause, e.g.,
 hearing aircraft transmissions while the scanner  is  tuned
 to  the  local  police frequency.  Premium quality scanners
 use "up  conversion"  circuitry,  a  scheme  which  greatly
 reduces, but does not eliminate, image reception.

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

 Considered by many as the best scanner ever made,  the  400
 channel  Radio Shack PRO-2006 has recently been replaced by
 the 1000 channel PRO-2035.  The portable Radio Shack PRO-62
 and  PRO-60 are good performers.  All four models employ up
 conversion and are made for Radio  Shack  by  GRE  (General
 Research Electronics).


                      Scanner Antennas

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

 Portable scanners  are  supplied  with  a  helical  (spring
 shaped)   antenna,   covered  by  rubber.   The  rubberized  |
 antennas furnished with current models are  too  stiff  and  |
 place  stress  on  the  antenna jack.  Older scanners to be  |
 supplied with more flexible antennas.  I prefer to  replace  |
 the  stock  antenna  with  an  Icom FA-1433B dual band flex  |
 antenna which is thin and  very  flexible  while  providing  |
 better performance than a stock antenna.                     |

 Although it is small  and  somewhat  tolerant  of  physical  |
 abuse,  the  range  of  a heliflex antenna is very limited.
 Augmenting it with a  19"  telescoping  metal  antenna  can
 improve portable reception greatly.

 Since 1988, I've used the "Thin-Stick" 18 inch  telescoping
 antenna  for  extended  range on my portable scanners and 2
 meter walkie-talkies.   The  Thin-Stick,  made  in  USA  by
 Smiley  Antenna  Co., Inc., is designed to cover both the 2
 meter and 220 MHz bands, but its variable length  means  it
 can  be  adjusted  for  optimum performance on other bands.
 What  makes  the  Thin-Stick  different  from  an  ordinary
 telescoping  antenna  is the spring between the antenna and  |
 the connector portions.  The spring  absorbs  most  of  the  |
 impact  if the antenna collides with an object.  The street
 price is  about  $17  and  it  is  available  from  Amateur
 Electronic Supply, Milwaukee and other retailers.

 Outdoor antennas, like the Channel Master 5094A or  Antenna
 Specialists  AV-801  (recently  discontinued),  can  extend
 reliable reception to 100 miles or more.  If you do use  an
 outdoor antenna, be sure to disconnect and ground it during
 storms and when not in use to  avoid  a  lightning  hazard.
 Discone and ground plane type antennas can be more prone to
 cause scanner damage due to static charge  buildup  because
 they are not at "DC ground."



                   Coaxial Cable Feedlines

 If your antenna installation requires more than 50 feet  of
 feedline,  use RG213/U or high quality RG8/U coaxial cable.
 RG213/U  has  a  non-contaminating  jacket  and  will  last
 longer.   Each  has  an  outer  diameter  of  about 13/32".
 Similarly sized Belden 9913 cable  and  clones  have  lower
 attenuation  but  are  difficult  to  bend, require special
 connectors, and can accumulate moisture inside because they
 are hollow.

 If you must use a small diameter cable for long  runs,  use
 RG6/U.   Avoid  RG58/U (7/32" OD) due to its losses at high
 frequencies.  RG8/X (1/4" OD) is suitable for  short  patch
 cords.



                 Where Can I Buy A Scanner?

 Almost every community has at least one Radio Shack  store,
 and  you  can  find  scanners there.  Discount chain stores
 like Wal-Mart, K-Mart,  Service  Merchandise,  and  Circuit
 City   sell   scanners,   but  carry  just  a  few  models.
 Department stores, like Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Wards,
 sometimes offer low end scanners, although at high prices.

 The best buys on new scanners are from reputable mail order
 radio dealers, for example:


    - Grove Enterprises, 300 S. Highway 64 West,  Brasstown,
      NC  28902.   For  a  free catalog, call [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

 The  term  "mod"   is   often   used   as   shorthand   for
 "modification."   If  you  are handy with a soldering iron,
 you may be interested in modifying ("modding") your scanner
 to add features or enhance its performance.  Be warned this
 usually  voids  your  warranty  and  current   models   are
 difficult  to  service  due  to the small, delicate surface
 mount  components.   By  federal  regulation,  new  scanner
 models cannot be easily modified to tune the cellular phone
 bands.

 The term "mod" has been narrowly used  by  some  people  to
 mean  a  change which permits a scanner to receive cellular
 phone frequencies.  This definition is far too  restrictive
 as there are several ways one could modify a scanner, e.g.,
 changes  to  improve  audio  quality,  adding  an  S-meter,
 expanding  the  number  of  channels, changing the earphone
 jack to accept stereo headphones, etc.

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


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

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

 If you cannot find  files  describing  modifications  to  a
 particular  scanner,  it's probably because nobody bothered
 to devise a modification, or more likely, nobody has  taken
 the time to document their modification.

 Modification articles posted on Usenet seem to have a  life
 of  their  own.   Frequently, they are plagiarized from the
 Internet  and  compiled  by  book,  CDROM,   and   magazine
 publishers,  sometimes reworded, then sold.  Hobbyists then
 copy  the  modifications  from  the  books,   CDROMs,   and
 magazines  back  onto  the Internet or BBSs (bulletin board
 systems)!

 Grove  Enterprises  and   other   companies   advertise   a
 modification for fee service.


                    Scanner Repair Shops

 Is your scanner broken?  Aside  from  sending  the  scanner
 back  to  the  manufacturer  for repair, here are least two
 companies which repair scanners:

   1.  Electronic Repair Centers (telephone [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:

            Do Your Own Frequency Detective Work

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

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

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

 You can approach from two directions:

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

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

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.

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

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

                   How Can I Use Equipment
                 to Uncover New Frequencies?

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

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

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

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

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


                Are There Any Scanner Clubs?

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

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

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


                    All Ohio Scanner Club

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

 Annual dues are $18.50 and more  information  is  available
 from:


               Dave Marshall, Managing Editor
               All Ohio Scanner Club,
               50 Villa Road,
               Springfield, OH 45503.



          Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association

 The Chicago Area Radio Monitoring  Association  (CARMA)  is
 the  foremost  club  for  scanner  radio  hobbyists  in the
 northern Illinois area.  CARMA was formed from the  Chicago
 chapter  of the Radio Communications Monitoring Association
 (RCMA), and we have been meeting since the early 1980s.

 Many CARMA members are active in ham radio  and  GMRS,  but
 the club is devoted to scanning and scanners.

 Meetings are held on Saturdays, many at  area  restaurants,
 about  6  times a year.  Although lunch starts at noon, the
 meetings begin officially at 1 PM and often run until about
 4  PM.  You must purchase a lunch since we get the room for
 free.  Meetings consist of a quick review of club business,
 sometimes  a  special  presentation,  and  a  "round table"
 discussion/question & answer session.  Large quantities  of
 information  and  frequency  lists are often distributed in
 the form  of  free  handouts.   Members  often  sell  radio
 equipment at the meetings, too.

 In addition  to  regular  meetings,  there  are  two  CARMA
 picnic/field  days  during  which  members  meet at a park,
 erect antennas, eat,  and  operate  scanners  from  battery
 power.   CARMA  members  take  organized  tours  of various
 communications facilities in the area.

 Club meeting dates and times are  published  in  the  CARMA
 newsletter,   published   6  times  a  year.   A  one  year
 subscription is available by mailing a $15  check,  payable
 to Kim Moran, to:


                     CARMA
                     P.O. Box 2681
                     Glenview, IL 60025

 Some  CARMA  members  participate  on  the  CARMA  computer
 bulletin  board,  run  by  Will  Sperling.   There is a $15
 annual fee for the BBS.  If you have a modem  and  terminal
 or  computer,  you  can  reach  the  CARMA  BBS  by calling
 [phone].

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

         February 18, 1995 - Westmont Police Dept.
         April 15 - Winnetka
         June 17 - Naperville EOC, Aurora Ave.

Bob,

Thanks. I was wondering if a/p security were giving folks with scanners
a hard time bringing them into the terminal areas. How has your Scout worked
in the a/p's?

I was going to comment about your lack of education and inability
to understand even the most basic theory of economics.
Then I thought, nah... not worth it.
Then I considered a comment about your ignorance of
the simple theory of supply and demand.
But I decided you're right...

(P.S. - notice the correct spelling of ''too'' in my message, and
the incorrect usage of ''to'' in yours.  I also skipped a comment
about your inability to use the English language).

I posted this request a while back, and apologize for doing it again.
Mismanagement or something mysterious have caused responses to disappear:

My local municipality will program the Motorola trunked radio I provide
for a fee.  Motorola, however, according to the local sales rep, won't
sell these radios (for Smartzone trunking) to individuals.

I'm looking for mail order sources that will sell to individuals.

This is not only for myself initially, but also for others who will be
reading an article I am writing about local scanning.  I want to be
able to direct people to dealers who can sell to individuals.

Please send email to either:  [e-mail]   or   [e-mail]

The normal way to handle this crap is send it to [e-mail]
just replace the senders name with postmaster (or root) and the ISP will
delete the account. This works almost everywhere except AOL which never

No. Just send one copy to [e-mail], and his account will be

I infer from a few posts I've seen that it is illegal to listen to
a scanner while driving in a car. Can this be true??
What is the law. Can I hook my base scanner to my cigarette lighter
on an occasional car trip. If not, why not????

I am sure glad my government is protecting me from all these awful things

About 7 or 8 states prohibit mobile scanners.  Additionally some
local jurisdictions also ban scanners in autos.  The few such laws
differ from one to the other.

Watch for the Scanner FAQ to get more details.  It shows up periodically
in this newsgroup every month or so.

NYS Vehicle & Traffic Law makes it an infraction to have any radio capable

NYS Penal Code makes it a misdemeanor to use a scanner in a vehicle.  I

I am not 100% sure, but I believe that Radio Shack's Police Call book has
Hunstville's Ten Codes listed in the back.  Monitor America may have them
listed as well.

    The reference to "the default steps" refers to the increment used
when searching a band. When you program a specific channel for scanning,
the logic should allow a similar precision. Your's obviously doesn't.

    In the U.S., the special allocations in the 470-512 MHz band are at
25 kHz intervals on the odd 12.5 kHz points, e.g. .x125, .x375, .x625 &
.x875. It looks like your radio used the even points in 450-470 and just
carried them on through 512 (actually, all 12.5 kHz points are available
below 470 MHz and should be programmable).

    In any case, a discrepancy of 2.5 kHz shouldn't hurt your reception.

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

Live in the mid valley and am trying to find the frequencies for ODOT

which frequs are used in the valley, cascades, and gorge.  I have tried
police call, it's very confusing about who uses what, and limit
searches, neither have worked.  Also if anyone knows which Benton Co.
local frequs are the road dept that would be great.  I have Linn and

        I was curious if there were any mods for my scanner to
increase scanning speed or increase freq. range.  I have looked

Also, where could I find web sites about scanners?  Thanks in

It's true.

The PRO-2037 uses the same intermediate frequencies as the
portable PRO-62.

Even though the PRO-2037 uses up conversion, it has images.
Due to the high first IF, the image frequency is pretty far
away from the original signal, but still produced unwanted
interference in the PRO-2037 I tested.

For more info, see the PRO-2037 review in July 1995 Monitoring Times.

I can get the pro-51 to do a manual search once I get in there with
the channel 23, but I can't do limit searches or anything useful.
Surely there must be a way to do this, right?

I there any place I an look for documented mods, or do you just search
the newsroup regularly.

I'm new to all this!

Thanks in advance.

On mine, all you need to do is press either up and down arrow keys on the frequency stored in channel
23.  It should work.  Press manual button. Enter 23, press manual button.  This should take you to
channel 23 with magic frequency shown on the display.  Now just press either of the arrow keys and it
should search.  If it does not, then I think your scanner is bad.

Check the back of Popular Communications or Monitoring Times for
companies selling modification books.  I have a 2032 that i modified
and it works great.  Be careful, it is a tricky modification and the
schematic is not very detailed.

Well, this is about the most useless post I have read in quite a while.
About all I can glean from it is that a modification is possible, and
(apparently) it expands reception of the cellular frequencies.

Jim, please tell us:

* What happens after the mod is done, what new functionality is gained,
whether any capabilities are lost as a trade off, etc.

* Name and publisher of the book containing the instructions.  I assume you
bought such a book and used it as a guide to modify yours.  There are
obviously a lot of those books out there, some more useful than others.

* Whether the book mentions early and late production, i.e. can all
versions of the model be modified by the same procedure.  If there are
differences, how to determine that the one you have is a modifiable
version (before buying the book).

* Clarification of the procedure:  you say the book's procedure is not very
detailed and to "be careful."  Knowing exactly *what* to be careful of and
obtaining clarification from someone who has done it successfully would be
useful.

I can understand you not wanting to quote verbatim out of a book as this
may be copyrighted.  However your post doesn't leave us any more informed
than we were before.

  Bud is right. The so-called electronic privacy act, which was partly
motivatd to eep cellular phones UNscrambled for the benefit of the
techno-luddites in the goverment, actualy violates treaties our nation
has signed which establish the airwaves as a public resource. It is
indeed legal to listen all you want.

  Part of the now banned cellular frequencies includes  gap between the
channels for base use and the channles for mobile cellular use. It is
hardly surprising that Los Angeles has placed it's nwest police band right
into that gap (which is where I'l be monitoring hen the O.J. Jury gets
the case).

             REPAIR TIPS: BEARCAT SCANNER RADIOS

       Copyright 1993, 1994, 1995 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

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


                        Introduction

 The original  Bearcat  scanner  line  was  manufactured  by
 Electra  Company,  a division of Masco Corp of Indiana.  In
 the mid 1980s, Uniden, a Japanese company, bought  out  the
 Bearcat scanner line and Uniden's first Bearcat scanner was
 the BC800XLT model.

 Most  of  the  models  discussed  in   this   article   are
 base/mobile  units  made  by  Electra  during the 1970s and
 1980s although some of the capacitor failures occur in  the
 Uniden BC800XLT, too.

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


               Schematics and Parts Available

 Some   schematic   diagrams   may    be    obtained    from
 Uniden/Bearcat's   parts   department,   [phone]   or
 [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].

 If  Uniden  doesn't  have  a  schematic,  try  obtaining  a
 Photophacts   from   Howard  Sams  Publishing  division  of
 Prentice-Hall at [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.


                     Common Construction

 Most of the classic, metal-cased Bearcat base/mobile models
 were built using two printed circuit boards:

  1.  a "radio board" containing the  synthesizer,  RF,  IF,
      and audio stages, and
  2.  a  "feature  board"  containing   the   microprocessor
      controller  and memory circuitry which gave each model
      its own personality.

 Athough there are various vintage radios boards,  they  all
 have similar circuitry.


                  Bad Solder Joints Common

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


                   Symptom: Blank Display

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

 In almost a dozen of the BC300 and BC800XLT  scanners  I've
 fixed,  C98,  a capacitor in series with the primary of the
 switching transformer failed, causing  the  output  of  the
 supply to drop below the level needed to power the display.
 The switching transformer is  mounted  on  the  RF  circuit
 board,  and  is  much,  much  smaller  than  the main power
 transformer,  which  is  usually  fastened  to  the   metal
 chassis.   The  22uF/16V  capacitor  used  for C98 in early
 BC300s was marginal,  and  was  replaced  with  a  47uF/25V
 capacitor in later units.

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

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


            Symptom: Invalid Frequency Displayed

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

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

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


        Symptom: Squelch Won't Eliminate White Noise

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

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

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


              Symptom: Scanner Completely Dead

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

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


                  Symptom: Keyboard Bounce

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


          Symptom: Keyboard Completely Unresponsive

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


                       Other Problems

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

Get a Radio Shack catalog, available at any RS store.  It will have the current models.
This newsgroup has discussions of several of the models.

Being new to the world scanners and scanning, I am wondering if there is
a FAQ on Radio Shack's bewildering array of scanners. If there is not then
could some one be so kind (masochistic!!!!) as to perhaps come up with
a short description of the various models and their capabilities. I know
that RS changes models like most of change socks but I am sure that some
models have stayed put for relatively long periods of time. IMHO a FAQ
would go a long way in encouraging a lot of us to get into this hobby. I
have been a long time enthusiast of SWL and scanning has piqued my interest.

In any case I am about to purchase a scanner and would like to know
if there are any models that are outstanding and that I should
seriously consider buying. Both base and hand held models are what
I am considering.

Cheers.

My thanks to EVERYONE who posted, emailed and sent me copies of
the scan.exe program for my MR-8100.  The program runs fine but
for some reason my 8100 does not want to "communicate" with the
computer.  I have tried two different computers with two different
connecting cords and it made no difference.  Apparently the 8100
is the problem.  It will neither send or receive to the computer.
I just get an "unable to communicate" message back.
Has anyone else had that problem??
Guess I'll just have to stick with the manual programming  :(
thanks for any info

make sure you have the unit plugged into com1, and that the wiring ont
he cable you're using is "straight through" wiring, not reversed tx/rx
and the like.  that works best.

I have an PRO 2006, and a PRO 51 in the house I use a GRE Amp which
increase the gain by about 20 to 30 db.  So far i have very little
probelems with a this AMP, iI have used others with very little problems.
You can overload the frontend of your receiver so get one (amp) with an
adjustable gain

Radio Shack 2005, 400 channel, cell restored, speedup modded.
                The AC power supply died on the previous owner, so the
transformer has been removed and it needs 12v dc to run.  I include a 2amp
wall wart to power it.  (they have a tendancy to run hot with the internal
supply anyway, so maybe it is good riddance)  The front panel is a little
faded and I think the lcd panel is not as bright as it was when new.  I bought
this thing at a hamfest and I think the guy who owned it was a trucker and ran
it in his truck.  At any rate, it works perfectly, I have the box, manual and
antenna for it.  The 2004, 2005 and 2006 are probably the best scanners ever
made.  I gotta have $225 plus shipping.

Regency MX5000, 20 channel, 25 to 550Mhz continuous coverage.
                This was one of the first continous coverage scanners on the
market.  It is small, light and works great.  Of course it needs more channels
and should scan faster, but what the heck, it is pretty.  I bought it here on
the net for $150 plus shipping in a fit of nostalgia.  I have the original
box, bracket, manual, and it is really in like new condition.  I'd like to
sell it for $125 plus shipping.

Uniden SC150B, ScanCat 100 channel handheld scanner.
                This is a current model, scans like crazy, lots of features,
etc.  I bought this at a pawn shop in Bismarck ND and didn't get the power
supply or manual, but have found the power supply at another store, so what
you get is the scanner and power supply, but no manual.  It is in very good
shape, almost like new, no scratches or dings anywhere.  The B in the model
name means it is the black one, not the yellow one.  I want $125 plus shipping
for it.

Send email if interested.  I'm looking for an AOR DC to Blue light scanner or
an HF rig, if you want to trade.

I also have a Shinwa SR001 25Mhz to 1000Mhz continuous scanner with manual and
remote, that is the prettiest and most feature filled scanner I've ever used.
It has things the no one else has ever put on any scanner, ever.  I think I
found the last remote in the US for it.  It is in very good condition, new
backup battery, new panel lamps, new remote.  It retailed for about $800 new,
I saw them for about $600 at one time.  It is a small, mobil sized rig, but
has tons of audio and if anyone is interested, I'll tell you all the great
features.  I'll take offers on the SR001, but I'll warn you, it is not cheap,
it is a rare bird with lots of goodies.  Two things as "ferinstances":  You
can select either of two different antennas for each memory, it has two
antenna jacks, and you can program, for each memory, either carrier, audio or
timed resume, with a 0 to 19 second delay.  Cool, huh?  Email if interested,
make an offer.

For anyone considering buying that Shinwa SR001 here's a few
unmentioned facts:

1) This was Shinwa's first and LAST scanner effort. This model
   (the ONLY model) was introduced in October of 1991. For those
   who have old Popular Communications magazines there was a full
   page ad with photo and featuers on page 8 of the December 1991
   issue.

2) Price not including S/H was $374.99 (a far cry from $600.00)
   Price was not listed in the ad, you had to call the 1-800
   number and ask for a brochure or any info.

3) The SR001 was dis-continued about 1 year after being introduced
   to the market. Shinwa has since dropped out of the scanner market
   all together.

4) There is no feature on the Shinwa that you can't find on most other
   scanners. (you can mod the Pro-2006 for remote control). In fact
   current scanners by Uniden and Radio Shack clearly out perform the
   SR001 on many of it's so called features. Scans 35 channels per
   second.....sssslllloooowww.

5) The SR001 was specifically designed for mobile use (vehicular).

-happy scanning.....

I thought you all might be interested in the text of the auto scanner law
in New York State.

VEHICLE AND TRAFFIC LAW, Section 397. Equipping motor vehicles with radio
receiving sets capable of receiving signals on the frequencies allocate
for police use

A person, not a police officer or peace officer, acting pursuant to his
special duties, who equips a motor vehicle with a radio receiving set
capable of receiving signals on the frequencies allocated for police use
or knowingly uses a motor vehicle so equipped or who in any way knowingly
interferes with the transmission of radio messages by the police without
having first secured a permit so to do from the person authorized to issue
such a permit by the local governing body or board of the city, town or
village in which such person resides, or where such person resides outside
of a city of village in a county having a county police department by the
board of supervisors of such county, is guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or imprisonment
not exceeding six months, or both. Noting in this section contained shall
be construed to apply to any person who holds a valid amateur radio
operator's license issued by the federal communications commission and who
operates a duly licensed portable mobile transmitter and in connection
therewith a receiver or receiving set on frequencies exclusively allocated
by the federal communications commission to duly licensed radio amateurs.

END OF TEXT

Does anyone know who the person authorized to issue the permit in a
village is and what the permit to equip a vehicle with a device is?

I am curious.  Exactly WHO is the person authorized to issue a permit to
"knowingly interfere with the transmission of radio messages by the
police"?  Is this a different permit than is required to simply monitor
them?  :)

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

        The state troopers can give you the right answer.

Hello,

I have a radio that is capable of transmitting from 120-180Mhz and from
400-500Mhz.  I have two of these radios and want to use them as walkie
talkies but don't know what freq. to use...   It would be nice if the freq
was one where you did not need a special permit (if there are any).  If you
can recomend a frequency please e-mail me or post here.

Thanks,

Sounds like it is modified dual band ham gear originally intended for 2
meters and for 440. Sorry, but these frequencies would "require" you to
be licensed if you wanted to be "legal". Either as a ham, a business, or
under one of the itinerant freq allocations. Which just happen to be:

I suppose using 121.5 is out!! :-)
If I were playing around, I'd probably use some frequency that is an
unused TV channel (Ch 7 is 174-180, Ch 14 is 470-476, ...)  Beware, most
areas of the country use a UHF channel for two-way radio (some more than
one).  Using frequencies other than those you have a license for is not
really legal.  Getting a permit for such a general radio is probably
impossible.  There exist some 'general use' frequencies around 152-4 MHz,
but you still need a permit.

Good luck....
By the way, what brand are they, and what was their prior use??

Ok,

  I give up.. UNCLE!!!!

  I have been trying with zip-zero success to get the person 'Gregory'
on this group to respond to me with any type of answer to my offer, so,
I guess I will put this out to the world...

  I am looking for a 'like new' RS 2006 unit WITH the OS456 computer
controller board. I don't care if the cell mod has been made.

  When I say like new, I am looking for the box and manuals also.

  I have one alternative, I am going to Canada next week, and have one
held at a local radio shack store... They are getting $270(US) for them
NEW in the box and I can buy the OS456 board and do it here at home..

  Leave me E-MAIL with condition, price, and if you like a phone #
to get in touch...

  I will pay all shipping and will have the unit insured for full
value to protect us both.

Where has this bozo been for the last year??? YES, it IS illegal to listen!
If this is so distasteful to you, where were you when they passed the bill!
Me, I raised hell with, faxed my opinion to, and basicly kicked and screamed
the whole way, to my elected officials, to no avail...


    Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986
    (P.L.99-508, Approved 10/21/86)

    amended section 2510 of title 18, United States Code to exclude from
the definition of 'readily accessible to the general public' any signal
which is transmitted over a common carrier system (i.e. cellular phones).
It also excluded encrypted messages, broadcast auxilliary (ie TV remotes),
and several other classes of signals.
    amended section 2511 of 18 USC to specify a $500 fine for intercepting
cellular communications.

Hey Blake, are absolutely sure about them being illegal?  When did that
happen.  Seems during the past year I've seen them advertsied in
various
magazines, and they were certainly for sale by the box-full at Grove's
Atlanta convention last year.

Possibly illegal in a particular state, but on an FCC national level?
I
have my doubts, but then, nothing the FCC does surprises me anymore.

REMEMBER!!!!
   The problem is obvious, and the solution is simple, but incredibly
expensive! The FAA requires that any RF producing device be CERTIFIED for use
on commercial aviation carriers BY THE MANUFACTURER. Most manufacturing
companies simply don't have the finacial ability or desire to go thru
certification, and as of this date, NOT ONE of the cellular manufacturers has
taken on the task. There is simply NO reason to. They dont care if you use
the phone on the plane, they probably hope you wont. For the simple reason
that cell phones were designed for surface use, not airborne use. The
possibility of crossing cells of like frequencies is only possible from the
air. From the ground it is highly unlikely that this will occur, ther eis a
phenomena called rf tunneling or something like that which allows a small
chance of crossups, I guess that is what is happening when the person says, I
can hear another call on this line, but they cant hear us... Think about how
screwed up it could get in the air. Remember, Bell and MetroCell or whomever
is the provider, is not the manufacturer, they have no means of providing
certification, and I am sure they would not be all that keen on using the
cells from the air, can you imagine the bookeeping headaches?

  And by the way, I fly over 100,000 miles a year, and as a passenger, I
really get pissed when I see someone sneak in a cell call while we are in the
air... I dont want to end up in a field in Iowa, or up against a water tank
in Dallas, because some asshole decided to check his voice mail...

  The old Airphone system really sucks, and is expensive, but the newer
digital phones sound fine, pay for the call and leave the cell phone in the
overhead, TURNED OFF!

NFL Helmet Radios use an encryption system that has over 6 million
possible combinations. Monitoring them on any scanner would be impossible,
so don't bother trying. Stick to listening to the team/stadium freqs, and
Official's wireless mics.

I asked Bill about this over in Fido echo a couple weeks ago.  He
answered that the developers of VADER suggested there was some problem
doing that.  Hard part was syncing SB recordings to HB232 log.  I
dunno, sounds kinda like the VADER folks figured they could make more
$$ selling hardware, than software only that can be pirated.

I'm tempted to learn C or somesuch just to try it out.  Seems like an
obvious solution, to have not been done before, though.

Help!  I can't listen to my Pro-2026 (or my Pro-37 for that matter) with
headphones because the BEEP you get when you hit a button to continue
scanning is at maximum loudness no matter where the volume control is
set.  Blows the earphones off my head!  Is there an easy mod to
permanently silence that blasted beep?
    Thanks!     ---Dan (but not THAT Dan)

Try listening to the band 467.85 to 469.925 MHz. They should
all be in there somewhere.

When programming the frequencies for a Trunked System in your scanner,
start with the highest frequency then program them all downward. Most
Trunked Systems
"Step down" in frequency, this will allow your scanner to follow the
conversations more easily.

Usually one frequency will be used for a data channel for a period of 24
hours, usually changing at local midnight. Most systems I have monitored
switch downward as well. You will need to "lock-out" the data channel, as
this is a constant transmission.

As long as it is using analog voice any 800 MHz capable scanner should be
able to scan it with no problem. Please note that some GE/Eriksson TRSs
use "scanner jammer" tones to lock your scanner on a frequency longer, and
randomly throw out tones to stop your scanning for a few seconds.

Operations in the newly acquired Conowingo District of Delmarva Power are
conducted on TWO different voice radio systems, as well as an 800 MHz mobile
data terminal system.

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

I don't have the PECO system frequencies handy...

I would like to know what frequencies the University of DE uses for the
Ambulance and campus security.  I hear they are in the 500 MHz.  Also,
can anyone advise the dispatching techniques for Delaware State Fire.  On
33.78 and 460.625 there is constant overriding between dispatchers; i
don't know how any unit gets air time.

This has been an interesting section of NYS law for quite a while.  In
upstate NY there has been no way to determine who can issue such a permit,
at least as far as I have been able to find in several years of searching.
 So much for clear, concise, and non-arbitrary legislation in NY.

I have a really old (vintage 1982) Bearcat 300 scanner, and need some
information.  The power transformer shorted out, and I tried to replace it
without success.  In the meantime (about 8 intervening years) I've
forgotten just what wires went where.  So... I need a partial schematic
(wire color codes would be helpful too) that describes the power supply up
to the power switch (it switches DC).  Any information would be helpful.
If you have a WORKING version of one of these, it should be able to yield
the proper information.

Thanks again...
