I am looking for a store in the Western San Fernando Valley that sells the
Gene Hughes Scanner book (the paper back one).  Last time I bought it, it
was 9.95.  Southland Communications no longer carries it.  Or if I can get
the address for the publisher so I can order it direct.  Thanks in advance.

Could anyone recommend a good, reliable, fairly priced place in Canada,
where continious coverage scanner could be purchased?
Radio Lorenz in Montreal used to be the one, but now they gone and
I'm not aware of anyone else.

I'm considering the purchase of a Radio Shack 2006 scanner. It has a
data-code of "5A4". Is this a modifiable unit for the purposes of 800MHz
band reception? If not, which codes are applicable?

Please via e-mail to [e-mail].

Thank-you!

Wrong, a mobile-to-mobile call actually goes from phone A to the
cellular switch and then to phone B.  In this case the entire
communications path is "full duplex - four wire" transmission.  You
WILL only hear one side of conversation on a scanner.

First thing you got right.

Correct if one of the callers is a LAND line (land line is 2 wire).

Two things right, wow!

If I may answer for him...

Many cell phones have a 'tech' or 'service' mode that will allow the
phone itself to monitor a given cellular channel that the tech
selects.  This is common is Motorola 'flip' phones.  It is clummsy for
any serious scanning of cellular because you can't 'scan' (at least on
any I've seen).

The AR8000 has an undocumented LCD test function.  While holding down the
Function and Zero key, turn the unit on.  This will cause the display to
light every pixel, making four rows of black squares.  Hopefully this might
help...

I saw the program. It makes me wonder where to look for good naval freqs.
The Navy sends a frigate or similar vessel to Chicago each summer for a
recruiting cruise. I've never been able to discover what freqs are used
by security or regular personnel. Tom Kneitel's "Top Secret Registery" is
a good start, but you need a lot of patience and channels.

As a E.F. Johnson & Motorola Radio Dealer, I can tell you that just
recently, Motorola Has Licensed E. F. Johnson to cross-license products.
To what degree I am not sure.  It is rumored that E.F. Johnson will come
out with radios compatible with Motorola's Smart Net II technology.
Possibly also the digital ASTRO Platform.

E.F. Johnson has a Public Safety sytem currently referred to as
MULTI-NET II.  Their product line includes radios and repeater stations
with "FLASH" memory.

On the Motorola front, they have just released their Maxtrac LS mobile
and MTX LS Portable with E.F. Johnson format only.

The UHF Flight Deck radios are different from the internal ships
communications. The 3 ships I've been on had Motorola HT's that we're a
special model (read more expensive) for ships. I want to say they are MTX
(?) HT's but I'm not sure. The Frequencies are usually stamped on the
back or theres a decal on them. Everyone I ever saw was in VHF Low.

operating in. UHF or VHF-hi. I checked Percon CD, but no listing. They are

Is this available yet? I was told by one of my local Radio Shacks
that they didn't have it in yet.

I now have a 8k.

I want to get a scout next.
I want to hook the 8k to the scout.
I want to hook the 8k to my computer.

What all do I need to get to best do this.

I will be getting ScanCat Gold.

What software and hardware will I also need.

My main interest is hooking the scout and the 8k up.

Thanks for you time, ahead of time.

I am currently serving on a committee for my fire dept which is studying
the feasibility of a regional or countywide trunked public safety system.
We recently had some manufacturers reps tell us that indeed, EF Johnson
has been licensed to manufacture and sell radios compatible with Motorola
SmartNet II systems and Astro digital systems. Supposedly, the radios will
be Astro radios with backward compatibility to SmartNet.

2 or 3 other manufacturers have also been similarly licensed. Prices for
trunked radios should be coming down to more reasonable levels in the next
2-3 years.

I hope we can start a discussion about the OptoScan 456 (535) scanner
controller and our experience using these devises with a scanner under
computer control.

My personal motive? I am thinking about getting the OptoScan 535 w/
RS-2042. I have a need for a computer controlled scanner, because I'm a
partial quad.  Some of you gave me some great suggestions after my last
question on this. Now that I've checked out the OptoScan 456 (535) I'm
psyched about it. I read the information on the Optoelectronics WWW page.

I have ham buddies who own spectrum analysers, but I can't afford a
spectrum analyser so the "spectrum analysis" features of ScanStar and the
other software packages seem like a real plus. Do these really work? Do
they help you follow "breaking news" events, like fires, etc. We live in
forest fire territory and the scanning can be very intersting and fast
moving. But, you can also lose track of what's going on without a view of
the spectrum.

Also, importing databases sounds like a great feature. It helps you
identify a lot of info on a station, including milage from your QTH.

My question is, does all this stuff really work and has anyone here got
this stuff up and running? If so, please let us know how yo ulike this
cool new technology. Thanks.

Also, the 2006 has a very good rep as a receiver. How does the RS-2042
compare? Thanks.

P.S. Cellular is not that improtant to me in a new radio. My RS-2022 covers
cell. I know the RS-2042 does not recieve cell. Thanks.

Yup. Tell Larry Gass. He's just been convicted for other aspects of the
ECPA, namely modifying and selling radios that receive non-encrypted,
broadcast-in-the-clear trunked radio transmissions in Tulsa. He is
awaiting sentencng that *could* be as high as 85 years in prison with a
4 millon $$$$ fine... Things have sure changed since the Communications

True. But that's NOT the point! The point is that you can have *your*
freedom taken completely away if you do listen in. Larry Gass is a case
in point. 85 years in prison for pissing off the Tulsa PD and monitoring,
selling monitor equipment for listening to non-encrypted traffic that can
be heard on *any* scanner!!!!!

Get a clue! This is a VERY dangerous precident *if* it goes thru. If it is
upheld all it will take to nail *you* under the same precident is to have
a cop with a hard-on for you using a trunked radio system find a DA to
file the charges and some dimwitted or unscruplious judge to convict you.
Heaven knows that in *some* parts of the country legal integrity is a
very nebulous thing!

The frightening thing is that the ECPA specifically _authorizes_ the
monitoring of non-encrypted, non-spread spectrum public safety
communications. The prosecutor successfully convinced this judge that the
trunking data constituted a modulation technique whose parameter were
witheld from the public domain to protect the privacy of the
communication and is therefore a protected segment of the ECPA.

Bang! Slam! Say goodby to Larry Gass and ANYONE else who may drop onto
*any other* Tulsa PD channel other than the 3 that the Tulsa Police Chief
has deemed OK to monitor. Who the hell is the TPD to say which channels
are OK to monitor and which are taboo??? Since when did *they* get
control over the airwaves. This case is a real rats nest when it comes to
future implications for monitors and saying " Oh well, it's not like
people are ever going to listen to those laws" is one of the STUPIDEST
things I've ever seen in this newsgroup!

Andrew, I don't mean to single you out for burning but your post was the
most convenient because it expressed a VERY common attitude. One which I
agree with, also.

Folks you gotta look beyond the concept of "unenforcable" laws because
_somewhere_ there's _someone_ who just might be willing and able to find
another someone who might take it upon themselves TO enforce those laws.
If Larry swings for this then we're ALL in danger of the same future.

This is exactly the case that is cited. The problem is that the
information that Mr. Gass received was broadcast in the clear and that
could be monitored by any scanner. This case is in variance with the
intent of the ECPA in that he's facing jail time for monitoring clear
voice communciations in an authorized area.

Sure. And if Motorola want to sue him (Mr. Gass) for using pirated STX
software for patent infringment I have no problem with that (well, not much
anyway...) But he faces criminal charges, not for the theft or use of
illegal software but for the act of monitoring channels that TPD said
that the public shouldn't have access to even though they didn't bother
to encrypt those channels. That I do have a problem with!

Well, several come to mmind but I haven't bothered to maintain files on
them. Someone probably has. I'm sure that it may be valuable in the future.
One specific case occurred in the City of Alameda Ca. a few years ago
when a scandle of sorts was made public. The police were accused of
making racial and sexual comments over the air. The investigation turned
up extensive misuse of the Mobile Data Terminals. I don't recall if
officers were fired or not but, as I recall, the case was instituted
following a complaint from a listener who overheard offensive material
over the voice channels. That led to a search of the data messages.

Sometimes folks forget that there might be people listening in to their
conversations. Sometimes it's nice to remind them...  :)

I have to agree with Andrew, and not just because my
name is Andrew also.  Scanning is just entertainment,
and sometimes it's useful.  A few reasons why I scan:

(1) Like Andrew, to find out where the bad parts of
town really are.

(2) I use NOAA weather radio reports just about every day.

(3) I use it as a "speaker phone" when I'm on my cordless
and other people in the house want to hear the other
side of the conversation.  (Of course, anyone else nearby
with a scanner can hear too!)

(4) I listen to police and fire calls just to be "in-the-
know."  It's fun to know what's happening around town.

(5) I like to go to the airport and watch planes land.
The scanner tells me when the next plane is coming.
I live close enough to the airport, also, that when I'm
supposed to pick somebody up who's arriving on a plane,
I can listen to the scanner at home and wait until I hear
their flight in the local traffic area.  Then I know it's
time to leave for the airport.  Works great!

And several other silly reasons like that.  Scanning
isn't for everyone, but I personally find it more
interesting than watching TV.

Good luck!

Andrew Clegg

I just ordered the Opto inteface and now have to decide on which
software I'm going to purchase to use with my Pro 2006.  I'd be
interested in hearing any comments anyone has on the various programs
out there.  I've downloaded the available demo versions and read the
reviews that have been published in the mags.

I'm leaning toward the Probe software because of its scanning speed,
file capacity and price.  I'd like to correspond with anyone currently
using the Probe to discuss its specific features.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi folks,

My BC220 is giving me some trouble. When I turn it on
all that happens is the display counts up to 20 and repeats.
This continues indefinately. I can interrupt this for a second
or two, then it continues.

Any ideas?

Sheep dog works good - trying adding a handful of ground red pepper
to give it some kick.  If you really must have St. Bernard and your
roasting pan isn't up to snuff, try an outdoor barbecue pit.  Have
a few friends over, drink some beer, watch the sun go down, do the
dog... have a party!

2 to 4 wire conversion would only be required if the cellular carriers
were processing calls on analog systems.  I don't know of any cellular
service providers that are using analog.  The cell sites generally put
traffic right into a channel bank where it is handled digitally to the
MTSO.  Traffic between the MTSO and the PSTN is usually trunked on at
least DS3 facilities.

You all seem to have alot of Problems with your scanners. Here in Germany
you can buy scanners, that cover the whole range from 1 to 2040 Mhz for
only 400$. And they have 1000 channels to saves too.
So why do not YOU shop in Germany?

Could be one of a couple of things, depending on just where you were
listening:

            -one of the newer cordless phones in that range that are not
digital or spread spectrum

            - Ham phone patch traffic in the 902 amateur band

The Pro 26 cannot be modified.  Sell yours and get the Pro 26UK if you
really want Cellular.  It is not that big of a deal though, Cell gets old
after awhile.

I am planning on getting an itinerant radio licence so that I can use
my Icom U-16s for business purposes. I have seen GMRS (GRMS?) frequency
radios for sale in various catalogs. I would appreciate it if someone
could post some information about both of these licenses, and which one
is best to get. I have some questions outlined below:



cost for licence, length of time of licence

how many different frequencys can be used

power limitation

repeater usage

who needs a license, radio owner, or everyone who talks on radios

I too debated the question "Should I trade in my Pro-26 for the AR8000?
"
After reading several articles on the AR8000 I decided to keep the 26.
It scans faster, comsumes less battery power, has better adj signal
rejection, and is alot less expensive.  I enjoy the Pro-26 because of
its size and use of only 4 AA batteries.  I also have the BC3000XLT
which is
a great scanner.  Neither have the full 800 MHz but thats only a small
part of the band which is active.  As far as lower signal reception a
shortwave receiver would do just fine.  I've got a Icom R1 that
receives
100 KHz - 1300 MHz with no gaps and the lower freq signals don't come
in
as good as a dedicated shortwave receiver even with the same antenna
hooked up.  I don't know how the AR8000 receives these but I would
imagine the higher freq signals would open the receive circuitry alot
easier due to the signal strength, etc.  Happy Scanning !!!

Ok this may sound stupid (it did to me), but can the FCC trace
scanners.  Say you are listening to an FBI freq.     A friend of mine
said and aquaintance of his was listening to a fbi freq in his car and
the FCC followed him all around town till the cornered him.  they
asked why he was listening to those freqs.  he told them he was just
interested and they left him alone.     <--- is this a load of crap or
what?

I'm new to scanning and just picked up my first book, radio shack's
"Police Call"   any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you.  The more I read the more I realized that it's impossible.
The FCC did stop this person but I think someone tipped them off about
him though.  and they just ran his vehicle plates.

Scanners to put out some RF, but you'd have to be awful close to detect it,
and you would not be able to tell what frequency the scanner was receiving.

Expanded frequency coverage is a compromise. If I want such a compromise,
I'll buy a cheap Radio Shack scanner. I'd rather not made such a compromise
with my ham gear.

  I own a RS PRO-2023 and I want to buy a new antenna. I still have the
one that came with it, and I've been having troubles with it falling out
and getting poor reception. Any suggestions on buying a new antenna? How
is the $9.99 one that Radio Shack sells. Does it have good range?

Thanks

Chris

BTW, I know of the 2-9- l/o and 2-9 mon, man, wx and other keys but they
only allow the 66 mhz up and when I am supposed to see the "good" 800 mhz
freqs., #23 is set to857.2125 and not the 888.???? (only .0125
from the programmed #22)!

This must be a factory cutout. Plus this _did not_ have the 'L201' jumper
installed.

Any help?

I've never heard of a keyboard mod for this scanner.  What you wrote
above I think was applicable to some other older Radio Shack scanners.
I do own two Radio Shack scanners, a PRO-2006 and Pro-2030, and have
performed mods on both of them.  My PRO-2030 did have a L201 jumper
to cut.  If your's didn't, it was probably made sometime in 1994, not
1993, and thus didn't have this diode to cut.  In any event, you can
receive some cellular images on that scanner in about the 895 - 915
mhz range, although you can't adjust the frequency spacing there to
the proper 30 khz steps.

Product: Realistic PRO-2030 by Radio Shack
Purpose: Restore full 800 Mhz coverage

  ** Disclaimer...Modification of receiver will void the warranty of your
  unit.  All modifications are done at your own risk.

  ** Monitoring of certain portions of the 800 Mhz band is prohibited by
  United States law.

  ** READ THIS!!  IMPORTANT!!  DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS!!**

  New versions of the '2030 have been coming on the market that do not have
  L201.  This is to comply with Federal US law.  The jury is still out
  on whether the mod can still be performed even though L201 is no longer
  installed.

  Modification of PRO-2030 for full 800 Mhz coverage with 30 khz
  stepping available.  (Valid for models manufactured before May, 1994.)

  1.  Take out the screws at the bottom to open the 2030.
  2.  Look down into the top of the unit, behind the front panel, and
      locate a metal loop labeled L201.
  3.  Clip that part and move the two pieces slightly away from each other.
  4.  Re-assemble unit.

  If your unit ever needs service, you can bend the two pieces back
  together and no one would know that the part had ever been snipped, due
  to it's rigidity.

    Gee, Andy, if you weren't in such a hurry to blast
something related to Bill Cheek, you might have read the
entire message.

    See the part quoted above that says "it will not work
on a PRO-2004"?

if you have set up the scan program to scan only AM for example, then
even if the bank is full of VHF and other frequencies, the Not Found
message will occur

I cannot speak with any authority on the AR8000, but I had a whole collection
of strange and unwanted operations occurring on an AR1000XLT handheld scanner.
I had to completely reboot/reprogram the scanner to bring it back to normal.

The AR1000XLT requires hardware mods to do this (and they aren't for the
faint-hearted), but I would think such a thing could be done to the AR8000
from the keypad.  WARNING....on the AR1000XLT, all stored frequency info is
lost if you do a complete reset.  The scanner is completely reset to factory
configuration.  I don't know about the AR8000....different beast.

Have you visited the AR8000 homepage on the web?

Don't have the URL handy, but it can be found (along with other AOR info) at

I used to be able to monitor atomic clock time count broadcast on SW on 6M
among others.  That radio has given up the ghost and I was wondering:

Is there anything available  in any of the following ranges?
      29-54, 137-174 or 406-512.

I have RS Pro-35 handheld with the stubby antenna.

TIA,

Hi Bill:

Actually, there are time signals in the ranges you specify.
HOWEVER,the signals are DIGITAL, and would require some sort
of decoding hardware and software.

You'd be better off to invest in a reasonable shortwave set.

Unless they have changed it, WWV (and all of its affiliate stations) used to
be located at 5, 10, 15, 20, amd 25Mhz only.  Does this information date me
too badly, or is it still the same as it ever was?

Awhile ago someone posted undocumented power-up sequences for the BC-3000
which changed the light mode, delay time, ect for the scanner.  If you
have it and could e-mail it, or repost it, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...Cliff

You better check that back-up tape!  My 210XLT is an older scanner that
has no 800mhz coverage as well as no turbo scan feature.  Bought it new
around 1985.  Regards, Vern

I have a BC860XLT but do not have a manual. I am also wondering if
anyone knows of any mods or kb tricks or such as how to increase
banks,etc.    It seems to scan all the necessary areas of the 800MHZ
band. Is this a good or bad piece of equipment? ANy replies greatly
appreciated.

I don't know the model number but I bought one at Radio Shack a couple of
years ago for around $20.It's a magnet mount and I believe it covers the
whole freq spectrum for scanners. I have a Bearcat 200 handheld and had to
buy an anttennia adapter for the plug on the antennia. It had the standard
mobile radio plug on it and I needed the BNC style. I really recommend
this antenia I can really pull in the frequencies when I'm in my
car.

Two Questions:
Does this 'test' mode register as billable air time?

How does one go about finding out the keystrokes to place a phone into

I can recommend a general-purpose program that allows you to do analysis
of audio - say if you digitized your DTMF audio into a .wav file.  Look
for cool150.zip.  You can do spectrum analysis on the audio, and figure
out the
DTMF codes from the display.  You can do lots of other interesting
technical things too!

  Are there any interesting freq's at all to listen to during football
games then? I have season tickets to the Cincinnati Bengals and have
thought about bringing my Pro-39 along to hear what I could hear.

  The referee calling the penalty would be great to pick up, because
invariably the biggest cause of confusion in our section is "What the
hell did that guy just say?"

  How about the sidelines sending in the plays to the QB? Yea, I know
it will most likely be all in odd code-speak, but I should be able to
figure out most of it after a while and be able to determine what
should happen?

  They must call in the injury carts with radio, no?

   Anything else?

Try monitoring freqs used by the stadium in the business band. Last summer
I heard the security detail at Wrigley Field trying to deal with the
inevitable rowdy fans. They have their own "pokey".

We are an attainment area and open burning fires raise our chances of

one more open pit barbecue and we would all be wearing gas masks and

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz (continuous without blockage) and receives in
WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a
10 band search function, pass memory function, and other goodies found in
high-end scanners.
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:

Channel No.        Band

1                        FM
2                        Air V
3                        Air U
4                        Ham V
5                        Fire
6                        Marine
7                        Police U
8                        Ham U
9                        MCA
10                      PRNSL (903.0375-904.9875)

Of course, you can change factory settings. It also has a battery save
function.

                                                                    $475.00

Hi Bryan here,

I have an Icom P4AT in mint condition with original manuals, box, charger
and optional leather-like softcase.

Unit was a spare used around the house very little and is in perfect
shape. It has PL, DTMF, 100 channels and is pocket-sized.

Asking $200.00 shipped lower 48.

Thanks for reading. Bryan/KC6WRV

I just purchased a used Realistic Pro-2030 scanner. However, it
did not come with an instruction manual, and getting one from
Tandy takes a while. I have not had much luck figuring out its
use by playing with the buttons.

Can someone provide a brief synopsis on how to use this scanner?
I would be most appreciative. Thank you.

I can't help with freqs for Indianapolis, but can pass on that a friend of mine was
over that way a year or so ago and told in no uncertain terms that his mobile
scanner was in violation of Indiana law.  Seems that any radio capable of picking up
police, fire, or other public service type calls cannot be used in a mobile
environment (i.e., your car, on foot, your bike, etc).  You can sit at home and
listen, just not carry it around and listen.

I believe I heard this law doesn't apply if you are a memeber of a volunteer service
such as a volunteer fire department or reserve police officer or are an accredited
memeber of the news media.

Good luck and good scanning there.

Lynn Hales

My brother was recently at the LA area APCO meeting.  He said that the
topic of LAPD and LASD going to trunked systems DID come up.  Apparently
they are talking about a replacement system sometime around the year 2000.
  By then both agencies should be ready for upgrades, but then LAPD's
system has been out dated for 10 yeas or better now so who knows.

Be VERY worried anyway.  Any government that thinks it needs to covertly
spy on its own people WITHOUT getting a probable cause court order is
in need of major overhaul.  Notice the major drive to get rid of all of
our firearms?  Yes, be worried!

In all accounts of what the justice department wants, it has been
noted that there will still be a requirement for a warrant to tap
a phone.  That won't change.

What they want is to increase their capacity.  They can currently
monitor about 1 in 100,000 or so.  They want to increase that
capability to 1 in 100.  I have nothing against legal phone taps,
but I can't see the need to tap so many phones at once.

My beef with this is not so much that they can tap my phone... but
that they want to dump my tax money into a system that is FAR
bigger than they need.  And then when they run out of the money
they have allocated, they will make the phone companies pay for
the rest of it - which in turn will be on my (our) phone bills.

 I see tons of old readers in the County/City and University
wharehouses. All are surplus and can be had for about $25.00 each.

Check out YOUR wharehouses...most have normal hours where the public
can check things out.

I just bought 3 Motorola HT-600's in perfect shape for $30.00
apiece(not a typo)!!!

Unfortunatly when I went to get them programmed the Moto techs asked
where I got them and what I paid for them....and promptly closed up
shop for the day and purchased the remaining 8 radios! Me and my big
mouth!!!

Amazing things at those wharehouses.

In the genealogy magazine, Everton's Genealogical Helper, a company
selling used microfiche readers usually has a display ad stating they sell
theirs for about $75 sent to your home.  Check with your library for a
copy of this bi-monthly magazine for the address of the company.  I bought
one from them perhaps five years ago, but don't have their address handy.

The Model P44... tells you that it is UHF 4W radio (could be anywhere
from 440-512), but usually 450-470.  The 1st digit is the frequency range
3 VHF, 4 UHF, 1 or 2(?) low band 30-50 MHz. The second digit ias the
power 3 < 5 watts, 4 5 watts , 5 - 9 higher power for mobiles.  I'm not
sure about the P110, but the HT 600 is programmed by Motorola software
and a RIB Box.  The RIB boxes are always for sale, but the software
(legally) must come from Motorola (and is very expensive).

I'm not current on my model numbers any more, but I can tell
youthat the second "4" in the "P44" model number means 450mhz range
(P43 would be 150mhz).

These units use "channel elements" which have actual crystals in them.

Cheapest way to change freqs is to carefully pry open an element and then figure out what the crystal freq <==> channel
relationship is then get a new xtal.  The manual would help alot here.

These radios are quite solid and reliable and work nicely on ham.

Find a RadioShack store that has copies of the new ISSUE FIVE of RADIO!

including the New Orleans area, that appears in that issue.

What do you mean you "don't have time to wade through this conference"?
How in the hell do you think the rest of us learn about this hobby? If you
want to learn something, maybe you should make the time. I would consider
using a little more diplomacy, the next time you have a question you'd
like answered, but don't want to bother with any of the footwork.

The Navy is using trunked UHF on most of it's Aircraft Carriers and
several other larger vessels. They are using either a modified GE EDACS
which the Navy calls "HYDRA" or a standard Motorola Smartnet (no ASTRO)
trunking system with standard DES for secure comms. Most comms are not
secure except security comms. The Hydra system includes modifed radios for
flight deck use.

One the ships with Motorola Smartnet the majority of radios are Sabers,
don't know the model they are using on the Hydra (GE) ships.

I worked on a Navy project about 7 years ago, and recall
that the deck communication freq's were in the 140 - 143
mhz area.  This might work if you are in a port city.

Hope this may be a starting point.

I'm not sure of the brand name, but I know there is one advertised in
Pop Comm for Shortwave (100 khz to 30 mhz).  It consists of a board for
your PC and a small box (somewhere in size between a shoebox and a large
laptop power supply in size).  The radio is controlled by the
software/controller card combo.  The box on the floor has no controls.
All controls are "virtualized" by the software.  There was a review on
it in Pop Comm about a year and a half ago.  Now if only someone would
make one for 30mhz to 2000 mhz.  Why pay for the faceplate on an Icom,
when you are going to control all its functions from the computer?

I believe that the ranges cut out are from 825-850MHz and 870-895MHz.  The lower
band covers the mobile portion of the cell system and the upper the repeated cell
system output.

If you have an 800 MHz frequency that you listen to close to either end of these
boundries, make sure the scanner will allow you to enter it.  The cutoff frequencies
(in my experience) are not precise and tend to run into the regular commercial 800
MHz radio band.

Hi Paul, I use the Windows ScanStar and it works really well.
There is no manual either printed or on disk which is a shame, but the
help isn't too bad.

Email me if you want more details.

Well, I don't know the law but depending on where you are you could receive
transmissions from Marine Corps Base Guantanimo Bay.  Probably not too
interesting but maybe.  I don't know the freq's maybe someone else may.

Yes.  Although I have not picked anything up on my RS-Pro35.

I believe it is the next (STS-74) mission which is to carry SARAX.  This is
an amateur radio experiment.  Due to launch Nov. 11.  Check www.shuttle.gov

Good Luck.

So, what about if I have a method of following a trunked conversation
WITHOUT prior knowledge of the pattern of channel changing?

It is actually quite obvious - if I mention it, lots of people will understand
what I mean and that it will work (however, it does require equipment
that not everyone has).

If you do not need to use ANY proprietary information OF ANY SORT,
is it still illegal to listen?

I own a Sportcat and have no complaints other than the lack of being able to specify a band width to
scan. The scanning ranges are programmed in. I use mine at Nascar races alot during the year and it
survives more than it's share of bumping and banging. I'll definitely buy another if and when this one
give's out.

In the Grove catalogue, they advertise they can mod the 7100 to unlock
the 800-900Mhz for $40.00 plus shipping.  Maybe IF they're nice, they
would fax/E-mail you the mod (???)

They are talking about OTAR not ACARS. OTAR is a means of sending a new
encryption key over the air to the agents in the field. Hence: Over The
Air Rekeying. Previously every agent had to return to a central point to
have their DES encryption key loaded into each radio. OTAR eliminates this
hassle so the agency can change the key more often.

I got into scanning as a result of a particular hobby. I am a
dedicated aviation fan. I take pictures of aircraft from the most
exciting to the most boring. I like to watch them do anything, or
admire them doing nothing. I got into scanning so I could hear ATC
talking to the aircraft  so I would know what they are doing and when.
When I got my first scanner, I learned about other frequencies to
listen to. It's a great thing to listen to when you are just wasting
time to start with. You never know what you'll hear.

I am looking for a inexpensive (cheap :)>.) scanner. I am going to modify
front end so needs to be a desktop rather than a portable. Want to run
off 12 vdc as will be used in the field. The scanner will be used for
receiving NOAA satellite images on 137.5 M Hz and has to have a bandwidth
of at least 40 K Hz, so will not be any good for normal scanner usage
once modified. Something like a Uniden Bearcat 142 XL. Anyone hve such a
animal laying arounf they would likw to part with at a reasonable price.
If so please send e-mail to [e-mail] or call 202-331-8816 after

OK, so nobody wants my damn camcorder; how about my classic Tandy M102 original
portable computer. 32k, 8x40 display, hard cover, manuals, all original cables,
telephone connector, serial, etc. Excellent condition: would not sell for less
than $200 (again my value). If you aren't familiar with this great little
machine, it has built-in 300 baud modem, full-size keyboard, 20 hours on
4 AA batteries, total collectors item (still in use by many journalists).

Somebody has got to have a "second" radio that would suffice to trade!

Thanks.

Summary: What's a good mobile antenna for a handheld scanner?
Keywords: mobile handheld scanner antenna
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]

I'm looking for a good mobile antenna for use with my PRO-43 handheld
scanner.  I looked through Grove's latest catalog and see two potential
offerings: the No-Tenna(tm) and the Hidden Antenna.


If you know nothing about them, some background:
The first is 8 feet long using "your entire car body as a giant antenna."
(Sounds like those AC-wiring TV antennas, huh?)  Anyway, the No-Tenna claims
(or Grove claims, actually) it is for 1-1000 MHz use.  For $19.95 + $5 s/h,
you get the antenna, plus RCA, BNC and 1/8" connectors.

On the other hand, Grove makes no claims about the useful range of the
Hidden.  All they say is it comes with 20 feet of coax and a F-male connector
with adapters for PL-259, Motorola and BNC. Cost: $19.95 + $6.75 s/h.


If you know something about them, or (mobile) antennas in general, my ???:
So what should I be looking for (or looking out for)?  Anything else I
should be considering?  (I'm not really interested in a visible antenna
given what I drive through and around.--And, yes, a good mobile scanner
would be nice, but it's not in the budget right now.)


FYI:  Currently I use the stock duck and car-battery power. This is in a
1996 Saturn sedan.

Important frequencies:
   3x MHz and 47x MHz -- absolutely critical
  15x MHz -- important, just slightly less so than the above
  800 MHz -- used frequently, but an order of magnitude less important
             than the above (for now)...wouldn't want a significant
             decrease in performance though.

P.S.:  I searched the dejanews archives first, and couldn't find anything
really useful in this regards.  Did find some basic antenna stuff, and
some posts about the AM/FM/scanner couplers, though.  So, whomever answers
this can go down in the archives to be revered for electrons to come--
a good reason to post a followup, don't you think?

I have a no-tenna and it does work somewhat, but I don't think you
will find it very usefull. Though better than nothing it is quite
a compromise over a half-decent outside-the-car mobile antenna.
If you want to try it out you might as well make one yourself; it's
just a piece of hookup wire, an alligator clip and a connector.
The only reason I use it is so I can leave my car in my target's
parking lot(with recorder and tape controller)and grab his comms
without alerting the whole place to the presence of my scanner.
If I couldn't get so close to the source of the signals(about 50
feet!) I don't think the no-tenna would suffice.

If you don't have to hide, Radio Shack's 3-band magnet mount works
great, especially on low band, considering it's price. I bought a
new one to replace my first; the mount rotted and split right in
half:( Lasted 3 years, tho.

Is it possible to track/find/confirm that someone is monitoring a given
frequency?  Of course it is.

Could the FBI tell if you were listening from across town?  Nope.

Could they from across the street?  No problem.

This story could be completely bogus - but it is indeed possible to do.

Cases in point:

The British Post office (which is in charge of radio-related matters in
the UK) can tell if you are watching TV from their van out from of your
house.  If  you haven't paid your yearly TV license, watch out!

The OPP (ontario provincial police) use "radar detector-detectors" to nab
people who are using radar detectors on  Ontario highways.  (the
detectors are illegal in this province).

It  was demonstrated to IBM big-shots that computer monitors could be
"read" from a van parked out front of one of their buildings.  An IBM
building in Toronto has a faraday cage built into it now as do most new
ones no doubt.

Whether the FBI really did corner this fella is debatable if you were not
there yourself but I suspect they have access to equipment that would
make this possible.

If you want an explanation of how this works, let me know.


Cheers!

Andy

From what I understand the laws have changed on how many tv's you can
connect to your cable.  Our local company used to charge extra for
each tv connected.  Now they have no say whatsoever on how many tv's
are hooked up and cannot charge more than a basic rate + prem
channels.

The CATV operators can also tell what you are watching.  They use
the information to help detect non-subscribers pirating service
or even paying subscribers that are getting programming they have
not paid for.

I haven't heard of this being done lately.  But I had a neighbor
that stole cable service (just went out to box in his driveway and
hooked it up).  Several months later it was disconnected.  A letter
was left on his door that from the carrier that he was discovered
through an electronic "audit" of the neighborhood.  Later I was
told by a cable company employee that they had hired a contractor
to "sweep" the city for illegal connections.

They certainly can "trace" scanners, if by "trace" you mean detect that
one is in operation nearby, determine what frequencies it is scanning,
and determine its physical location and follow it if it is moving.

If you mean determine what make/model and where purchased, then I agree

Actually, this is theoretically possible with sensitive enough equipment. When
a radio is tuned to a particular frequency, it will tend to oscillate at that
frequency. It will also emit some degree of EMI or radiation that is tuned to
that frequency. This is exactly the reason you are not allowed to operate
radios on airplanes. Thus, it is possible to tell what frequency a receive only
radio is tuned to.

An example of this is in Britain one must pay to have a TV set in their home.
The authorities actually drive around in trucks with equipment measuring
radiation from homes and nailing people who haven't paid!

On the other hand, the feds aren't just going to pick you out of the blue to
monitor what freqs you are listening to. They would have to have some reason to
single you out (this is not because of regulations but simply because there are
too many people in the country!), so you are relatively safe from this type of
detection. Besides, this type of equipment costs money and is probably not
standard issue.

I have no idea whether what your friend described actually happened, but
it is certainly the case that a scanner can be detected, and the
detector know what frequencies are being scanned.

I'm with [e-mail] on this one.  The response from Andy Moss
indicates that people can detect when an electronic item of a particular
type is in use. That's easy... we have radar detector detectors here the
US too. And the cable guys put a beat frequency on the line to trace if
your set is able to receive it... etc.  That stuff is easy to do. But Andy
goes too far to alarm you.

The hard part is being able to detect, from a distance of over a few
inches, much less yards, precisely what frequency you're tuned to on a
scanner radio. That requires two things, a knowledge of the exact IF
offset in your scanner (usually 10.7 or 10.8 MHz and 455 KHz for
dual-conversion units) and the ability to detect a specific, extremely
low-power intermediate frequency being output from a little-bitty
transisitor in your scanner unit.

Say the scanner is tuned to 150 MHz and the IF offset is 10.8 MHz. This
would mean that someone would have to be able to detect a very faint
carrier at 160.8 MHz. If you were scanning, this frequency would be hit
upon irregularly for about 1/50th of a second unless there was an lock-in
at 150 MHz.

The FCC requires that the output of the IF and the harmonics be SO LOW
that they cannot interfere with other devices in certain ways at certain
distances.
The odds of someone more than a few inches away detecting your scanning
frequencies while you are actively scanning channels would be
astronomical! Besides, why would the FCC care what you were listening to?
They haven't got enough budget to investigate the real problems.

   BTW.....  Cable companies here don't use a van parked out front of your
house on the street to see how many tv's you have hooked on cable.  They
test the amount of drain on the system coming from your house, by testing
the actual cable.  The more tv's you have, the bigger the drain.

Doesn't even need to be a computer... Electric typewriters give

Some cable systems have found a fun new way to get folks to pay the
overdue bill or sign-up when moving to a new home.

They just program C-SPAN on all the channels!!!

The old mechanical teletypes gave off lots of RF noise.  I think the
British snooped on lots of consular TTY traffic in the 40's & 50's until people
finally got wise.

Read the "Puzzle Palace" for lots more info.

I really think the punishment should fit the crime...  C-SPAN on all

Did anyone happen to catch the latest Seinfeld episode? Kramer shows Jerry

guess they could'nt really do *that*. Bet it sell a ton of scanners overnight
though, with people thinking "you mean I can listen in on my neighbors phone-

Hello...

           Does anyone out there have a plan/instructions on how to build
your own ACARS decoder?

I'm in the market for a new scanner antenna.  I'm deciding between the
Pro Wideband Discone or the Scantenna.  Both are from Grove.  I'm 25
miles from downtown San Antonio, TX.  Most of my scanning is of
Military, PD, Fed., and other unmentionables.  I have a PRO2004 and
PRO2006.

How do these compare?  How about other models?

Radio Shack sells the Eveready/Fuji Li/Fe "Alkaline Energizers" which are
AA sized **NON** rechargeable primary cells.

They do not sell rechargeable Lithium Ion cells. Due to the safety
requirements for controlled charge and discharge, it's unlikely you'll
ever see a standalone, drop-in consumer product. They have to be designed
into a device to be used safely. Follow the discussions on
sci.chem.elecrochem.battery if you're interested in reading more about
this.

Look for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.....I am using AAs in my
scanners. A little too early for feedback but they are labelled 1200 mah
and ARE definitely rechargeable. BTW they cost heaps.

I recall about 5 or 6 years ago, an article in Populr Science. Sanyo

The Weather Service radio stations are starting to broadcast packets of
digital data as part of their broadcasts.  I asked about this, and got
pointed to a company, Dataradio, which sells the equipment to generate
and receive the signals.  They sell a receiver for $535, which is a bit
higher than a Radio Shack WeatherCube :-) that outputs to a parallel printer
port or to RS-232 serial.  Sez on their brochure that the broadcast uses
5100 nominal baud, and VSK (VSK? what's that?) modulation.

I've enjoyed using my AOR8000 however, the serial data connector on
the unit seems to make an intermittent connection (at best).  I
suspect that the connector's contacts have started to recede due to
regular use with the interface setup.  Does anyone have a source for
this board-level connector?  My unit has been out of warranty for a
few months now and I would like to try to replace the connector.

Any help would be appreciated.

Correction: the station is located Fort Collinc, CO. Also there is one in
Hawaii. You can here the hawaii time 15 seconds before the colorado time.
Hawaii uses a woman's voice. Colorado uses a Man's voice. Canada has a
station that does the same thing, but they use 3333 kHz and 7335 kHz. the
time is in English and French. Please Excuse my spelling, I am a grad
student who has been studing too long.

Oops I goofed, the voice is 15 seconds earlier, but the beep that
signifies the top of he minute is the same. Sorry about that.

As for the reception, It really depends on a lot of variables. When I was
at Virginia Tech I picked both up clearly. A good antenna is one of these
variables.

Okay, Linus,

Why is Hawaii 15 seconds ahead of Fort Collins? Faster atoms in the heat
of the islands? Slower radio waves in the Pacific ocean? What's the scoop?

I get CHU Canada at 7335 MHz much better than either of the others. But
I'm in Kentucky, too.

Holding down the LHT key will keep the light on instead of the timed
length.

Holding down DLY changes the delay to 4 or 2 seconds.

2,9,DLY turns off delay for all freqs

Holding ENTER will disable keyboard entry beeps.

I am thinking about getting a BC3000XLT. But I just got Grove's new
catalog today and saw the PRO-26 for  $50 cheaper. Both are made by
Uniden right? Looks like the '26 is missing a few freqs besides the cell
band, but nothing really too important. Scans 50 ch/sec wheras the 3000
scans at 100 ch/sec. The PRO-26 has half as many channels, although I
probably wouldn't fill up 400 channels anyway. I was counting on the
BearCat's 1005-1030 for cellular. Does anyone know if the PRO-26 receives
images there as well? How about performance? Is the 26 as bulletproof as
the 3000? Any info appreciated...

I've got both scanners.  If you have ever owned the BC100XLT or
BC200XLT then you'll enjoy the BC3000XLT.  Much easier to program than
the Pro-26
and the Bearcat does receive the images better than the Pro.  I enjoy
both of them but the BC3000XLT is my most favorite.  The Pro does have
a few better features but not enough to sway me.  The BC is built a
little
tougher too.    Happy Scanning !!!

 The best bang for the buck is probably still the PRO-2006, if you can
find any.
 They are still sold in Canada, and many people just have them imported to
their homes.   A real good point about the '2006 is that $3000US will
still buy 3 of them!
Newer gear is also more expensive, and if the older stuff will do what you
need, why pay for the extras you'll never use?

 Hi Greg,

 Checkout some of the newer radio shack desktops, looked in there
catalog tonight and there seems to be a new line with some fancy
looking ones. I have had good luck with the Radio Shack scanners, as
well as the other brands. IF you get it at Radio Shack see if you can
get an open exchange policy, talk to the manager.. Which one of our
local eoc's were offered if they bought a 2m mobile there..

 What is your call and where are you located??

Have you tried another antenna? Take it into the store, ask to
borrow an antenna from a radio on display and see if your unit
works any better. If it does, then you broke the antenna.

If it is the antenna and you don't mind a longer one, you might
try finding a ham radio store and asking about the Diamond RH77.
It pulls in things that the stock duckies can only dream of.

A chap asked me to expand on this topic but when I tried to Email
him back it got bounced.  I'll just post my reply here for all.

Can the FBI tell if you are *tuned* into their conversations?

     Often, it is possible to tell if a receiver is being used on a
certain frequency, even when you are 100ft or more away from it.

The best example I can think of is our local OPP (Ontario
Provincial Police) who use Radar Detector-Detectors (RDDs) to
nab people who are using Radar Detectors (RDs) in their car.  In
Ontario it is illegal to use a radar detector in your car - just like
it is in Pennsylvania and other American states.

The police use a small, cigarette box sized gadget inside the car
to detect if a passing (or stationary) car is using a RD.  The RDD
is actually a receiver that is tuned not to the radar frequency but
to the frequency of the local oscillator/injection frequency of the
RD.  This oscillator actually can be detected by the RDD from a
couple of hundred yards in many cases.  Depending upon how well (or
how poorly) shielded the RD is and how strong the injection frequency
is will have a bearing on how far away the RD can be detected with the
RDD.  Some RDs employ a different scheme that does not produce a
detectable output for this very reason.

It's possible to detect the presence of most any reciever that uses
another frequency to mix with the frequency of which you are trying to
monitor.  This includes every scanner I know.

Case in point.  Let's say that I suspected that *you* were tuned to
*my* frequency in the VHF band.  For the sake of argument let's say my
frequency is 150Mhz.  Here's the tricky part.  I would need to know
the first IF frequency of your scanner.  The IF frequencies of common
VHF receivers are 10.7Mhz and 21.4Mhz.  Let's assume that your scanner
employs a 21.4Mhz first IF frequency.  I would tune *my* reciever to
150 + 21.4Mhz = 171.4Mhz (hi-side injection) or 150 - 21.4Mhz (lo-side
injection - rare).  If you are tuned to my frequency I should hear a
carrier.  If you are scanning my frequency I will hear the carrier
come up every time the scanner passes my frequency.

I should note that this method would hardly give a judge enough evidence
to put someone in jail.  However, it would give Steve McGarret and Five-O
enough reason to approach you!

In practice, about 100ft seems to be the limit of detection for my
scanner.

Hope this answers the question.

Cheers!

Andy

Oh, I have.  I didn't want to start a flame, I just wanted to promote the use
of mathematics.

If you scan at 12.5kHz increments on a system whose channels are 30kHz apart,
you only hit the exact frequency once every 5 channels.

You are as close as 2.5kHz on two of the intermediate channels, which as you
say is close enough for practical purposes for most signals.  Your next
closest channel is 7.5kHz away, with may still be alright if you have a wide
front end, a cheap scanner, or a VERY strong signal.  The rest of the
variations are greater than 10kHz, which is a fairly big error.

So, out of five frequencies, you get two right on, two a bit off, and one way
off.  BUT YOU ALSO GET additional steps we didn't count that can cause the
scan to stop in between channels, especially if your receiver is wide enough
(or the signal is strong enough) for good off-channel reception.  Signal
strength, sensitivity and selectivity all play a part in the acceptability of
such a band plan.

 I personally don't find 12.5kHz a good choice, if 5 or 10kHz are available
(in the total absence of 30kHz).  You just tighten up the squelch to exclude
some of the intermediates, and get every frequency all the time with no error.

Just my opinion, and a little math.

Steve

Craig is correct.

Furthermore, if you own a scanner with high selectivity like my
Regency MX-7000, the 12.5 kHz step just doesn't do the job.  I
have to switch my scanner to 5 kHz step to make all of the calls
audible.

Yeah sure.  And neither do any of my dozens of Motorola MTX's or
Syntors, especially when I ride in my Lear Jet.

  If you would read what is posted before you respond you might learn
something.  The above message is discussion is related to the Pro 26 and
other scanners with "a not very selective front end."  The last time I
checked the Pro 26 wasn't built by WJ or Racal.

I hate people who sound off without reading what we are talking about
here.

This is like saying that since the center of the lanes of super highways
are 15 feet apart you won't hit another car if you are 10 feet off the
centerline--it depends on how wide the cars (busses/trucks) are.

Cellular radio transmissions also have a width...they don't exist solely
and exactly at, for instance 870.090 just like a car perfectly on
the centerline might actually consume lane space from 2.5' from the
side to 8' from the side.  You can hear 870.090 cellular, fairly clearly,
with relatively cheap scanners from around 870.080 to 870.100 (and
depending on strength of the signal).  Therefore, 12.5 will allow you to
hear cellular calls.  No question that 10 khz or 5 will hit it more
closely "on center" than the others.  The better the scanning equipment,
the weaker the signal and the more interference you have the worse it
will be with 12.5.  But if that's all your scanner will do, it is
workable.  Not perfect, not desirable, but workable.

Years ago, in Centerville TN, I used a corner reflector VHF TV antenna,
as a beam with a scanner.  Comparing it to a 1/4 wave antenna, where I
could hear 1 weather station, the beam picked up 3 different weather
broadcasts, dependent on which way it was pointed.

Sounds like gain to me.  (G)

I didn't even see this post so I can't really comment.  It just looks
like someone with the initial "BN" is trying to slag me.  Not to mention, I
see no data to backup his claim.  And his comment about a unity gain
antenna have no directional characterstics is misleading and not entirely
correct.

Wrong, Blake.  The only thing this proves is that your TV antenna had
gain over what you refer to as your 1/4wave (or it proves that your 1/4wave
antenna had negative gain with respect to your TV antenna).  If your TV
antenna had 0dBi then your 1/4wave had -XdBi.  It doesn't prove that your
1/4wave antenna was even working properly - or was even pruned to 162Mhz.
It also doesn't prove that the bulk of the signal on your TV antenna was even
coming from the antenna itself.  You've given no reference at all so
you've proven nothing.  This was my entire argument with the Fido crowd.

Have you ever wondered why QST  doesn't allow antenna manufacturers to
advertise gain claims?  It's to protect people like yourself.

Cheers!

Andy

        A5 (40 bit stream cipher) and A7 are both confidential to the GSM

They had an aledged version of A5, but I'm not sure if it was correct.
In short, I don't think that you will be able to get hold of the algorithms,

Do any of you people out there, have any idea, where I could get a
schematic or plans for a DTMF Decoder, using the IC. If so if you could
mail me or just leave message here.
                Thanks.

I have a DDI that does DTMF, but NO SN# (can be upgraded by the manf)
Hooks up to an AOR3000A (Ultimate Scanner!)
DDI is full featured, tracking type.

I have been kicking around the idea to sell both, with SW for Data Logging

I moved from the City to 'Kornfield County'. One Cell Tower serves 20 Sq Miles!
Not much channel hopping here.

The officials use condenser mikes to announce the calls. These mikes
can be heard on the VHF TV frequencies, so a TVsound-capable radio
will do in this case. I have no frequencies for the Bengals or
Riverfront Stadium however.

Hi,

  I have a pro-43 and a pro-2006 for sale that are in mint condition.
both have manuals and original boxes.  The cell and speed mod
has been done to the 2006 and the cell and FM mod has been
done to the 43.  Both work great.  I have other hobbies that take
precedence money wise so I have to part with these radios.

I am asking the following:

Pro-2006    $300 + shipping

Pro-43        $250 + shipping

Both are firm prices.  The 43 also has the neoprene case that
became famous around here a year or two ago.  I have the service
manual for the 43 as well.  Please send me e-mail to:

[e-mail]

if you are interested in picking one or both of these up.

Thanks

Todd..

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz and receives in WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency
steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a 10 band search function,
pass memory function, and other goodies found in high-end scanners.
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:
Channel No.        Band

1                        FM
2                        Air V
3                        Air U
4                        Ham V
5                        Fire
6                        Marine
7                        Police U
8                        Ham U
9                        MCA
10                      PRNSL (903.0375-904.9875)
Of course, you can change factory settings. It also has a battery save
function.

                                                                    $450.00

First, I don't know jack about scanners but finally decided to get one.
I went to Radio Shack and ended up buying a PRO-51.  Have I made a wise
choice?(answer privately if you like)
Assuming I stay with it, and seeing as how I'm largely ignorant of the
scanner world and possibilities, are there ftp sites, FAQs, anything else
that would help me in my climb from stupidity?  Thanks for any and all help.

I have a Bendix/King model LPI 5142 A.  A niffty 150 MHz(?) handheld with a
keypad on
the front, LCD display, 14 channel wafer switch, Lo/Hi power TX,
Squel/CG switch, and a scan function.  I believe this little guy can be
programmed using the key pad?  The problem is I don't know how to get the
mother into "program" mode so it will take some new frequencies.

Any of you played with one of these little gems/monsters before.

I think I broke my rat shack pro62 scanner rubber duckie, the standard
one.  I went to rs and they replaced it with a longer one which is
ribbed.  i believe this is a cb antennae but im not sure.

they said that each model has a specific antanee for it.  Is this true?
why?  the new antannea cannot receive stuff inside buildings and
basements.  i never had any problems with the old antennae even inside
the basement of my office.

i have a lot of interefence too

can you tell me what's wrong?  i bent really hard when i had the scanner
on the belt clip and it bent.  could this break it?

I posted before but believe post got lost, in the ole proverbial "bit
bucket".

I am looking for a inexpensive radio that will recieve 137 to 138 M Hz
lookig for a relatively new desk type radio as I have to modify front end
so as to have a bandwidth of 40 K Hz+. I want to use it for receivinf\g
satellite images from NOAA and like satellites. Anybody have a scanner
sitting arounf thry would like to get rid of? Something like the Uniden
Bearcat 142 XL. TIA

Have a nice day...   Jerry R

I bought one at a Pawn Shop.. I couldn't belive it when I saw it..
Somone obviously didn't know what they were worth..

anyway.. I've called and ordered a manual.. and a belt clip from Radio
Shack cuz the radio didn't have any of that when I bought it.

So I'm going without a manual and have a few questions:

what is H/S S/S  is it high speed low speed?

What is RVW key.  and how do I activate it?

I think I have most of the rest figured out..

When searching .. you can press limit and it will change from a resume
search to a hold key.

Before entering a frequency that is at a diff step.. you first have to
change the step and then enter the freq.  like to enter 165.2375
you hit shift and hit step until it goes to 12.5 then hit shift again to
lock it in place then enter the freq like normal.

Is there any other belt clip than the stock one?  I'm betting it's cheap
plastic.. it was only 2.95 from factory parts.

I find it hard to believe that ICOM thinks that US buyers will buy a
~$1000 scanner that will not receive any freqs between 800 and 900 MHz.  I
asked an ICOM marketing guy about this at Dayton '95 and this is their
belief. I wouldn't go anywhere near a new ICOM scanner for this reason.

As we all know, there is plenty of stuff going at 800 MHz besides cellular.

Yep, and since LAPD just bought thousands of new Astro's in the 400 to
500 range and since they fought so hard in Congress for the frequencies
they presenlty occupy in the TV band I hardly think they would switch now.

I've seen several messages here to this effect and wonder how they got
started. Two years ago I was in Santa Monica at radio meeting and the
Commander of LAPD's west division was there and showed his brand new
Astro radio to everyone and said every officer would soon have one and he
fought for the new frequencies. So either he was an imposter or it was a
dream or rumors are started without knowledge or basis.

No, it really is against the law to listen to cell phones.  According to
the FCC Field Engineer in know, he was only aware of one case involving
someone getting busted for monitoring cell phones.  In this case some
lawyer was monitoring the cell conversations of another lawyer (and I
guess using this information).  The FCC went in with U.S. Marshall's (as
they do in almost all enforcement actions requiring big guys and guns).
Specific charges as usually up to the local US Attorney and in this case,
the guy was charged with a civil rights violation, rather than a ECPA
charge.

The law is interesting since so many people disregard it, but with TDMA
and CDMA comming down it probably won't be a problem too much longer.
Public airwaves have never been restricted from monitoring in the past.
What if the government suddenly declared it was illegal to watch channel
13 on your television?  The main problem I have with ECPA is that the
cell industry basically bought it from Congress but I should not be
surprised when out government is controlled by foreign lobbyists, PAC
(Political Action Committeess and SIG's (Special Interest Groups).  One
last thought, the FCC Field Office in Houston, Texas is scheduled to
close in summer '96, who will take care of the ECPA (and interference
complaints then) ???

                   In GOD we trust, all other's we monitor

Billy

        Those are separate issues.  Interference complaints are in the
jurisdiction of the FCC.  ECPA violations are prosecuted by the Justice
Department (FBI and/or US Marshalls).

Hello, folks...

I'm a "wannabe" ham (no license, or gear other than a Pro-43 scanner yet)
looking to learn morse in preparation for getting my ticket. I've got
Gordon West's code tapes, the no-code plus book from radio shack, and "Now
You're Talking!" from ARRL. What I don't have is the patience to repeat
the tapes over and over and over while I learn the code. I've found that I
get to a certain point, and lose concentration due to the repetition, and
everything I've learned up until that point just kinda goes out the
window. I also find myself "anticipating" the next letter to come along
because I've played the tapes so often. I'm not willing to settle for
"just" the no-code ticket, so that option is out.

What I'm looking for is the frequency of a station that sends CW (whatever
rate...) that I can tune up on my Pro-43 scanner and practice copying
from.
I'd love to be able to tune up W1AW's code-practice "workshops", but I
simply don't have the gear to tune that low. (30 Mhz is my bottom end with
the radio I have)

I'm in Bay City Michigan, and my radio covers 30-54, 118-174, 220-512, and
806-999.9875 Mhz in either AM or FM mode. If anyone knows of a station I
can tune up for some copying practice using this radio, I'd like to hear
about it. And yes, I know: Trying to use a scanner as a ham receiver is
nuts. When I can afford to buy a "real" Ham rig, I will, but for right
now, "Use what you've got" is the catchphrase for this boy...

Email responses preferred if at all possible.

Thanks in advance...

        Before doing the Supreme Court's job for them, you need to avail
yourself of all of the facts that they will have.

        1) The FBI is requesting changes to telco hardware and software that
will allow the capability of simultaneously monitoring 1% of all phones
connected through each central office, instead of the part-of-a-percent that
is available now.  They are not proposing to begin randomly monitoring that
1% just because the equipment would be in place.

        2) The FBI's proposal says nothing about eliminating the warrant
requirement for wiretapping.  They want the ability to carry out whatever
taps are authorized by the warrant(s), which they can't always do
simultaneously with the telcos' present setups.

        If you (meaning every citizent, not just Mike) want to protect your
civil rights, you must first be aware of exactly what they are.  This
includes knowing the case law that interprets the Constitution, as well as
the special rulings made in your respective states.

        Your local college may offer a credit course in Constitutional Law.
It is VERY interesting to study.

It's unconstitutional in what way? All they've done is ASK for the $ to
set the system up. This is in no way unconstitutional.
It was also not said at all that they would place a tap without a warrant.
It would appear that you need to slow down and read what you read.

We would *all* do well to keep an eye on this, of course, as it *can* be a
great temptation to re-vamp the system into something the framers of the
constitution never intended, for example, "carpet bombing" warrants.

I think you're right. This has to be the FBI, because the CIA is not
responsible for domestic affairs and crimes unless they affect foreign
affairs. And besides, there are other facts left out, like having to have
probable cause before a warrant is issued by a judge, etc.

        Thank you for posting your opinion - all 3 times.  I will only reply
once.

        The government is unlikely to block the FBI's attempts to have telco
technology upgraded because they have made legal errors in the past and MAY
do so again.  The way to have things like this handled is within the system.
 Whether you think "the system" works or not, it's the only one we have right
now and it won't pay any attention to hysterical anarchistic rantings.

        The only REAL solution to the wiretap "problem" is to put the FBI out
of business by eliminating crime.  Any suggestions on how that should be done
are off-topic for this newsgroup, but I would be happy to be entertained by
email.

Besides that the CIa wouldn't ask for permission anyway. They'd just do
it and try not to get caught. Remember the Contra arms dealings?

 If you replace the 400khz ceramic resonator on the clock circuit with an
800khz, you will (a little) more than double the scan rate.
 However, there are three other changes:
  A) It cuts the light timer in half (light stays on for about 10
seconds).
  B) It cuts the delay in half (About 1 second)
  C) The scan rate is sooo fast that the bank indicators do not have a
chance to blink.     (Therefore they can only tell you which banks are
enabled, but not which one is     active).

 IMHO these slight drawbacks are far outweighed by the increased speed.


Ron

 P.S. As far as mods for this rig, I know of:

1) Cell restore (Simple)
2) Battery life extension (Simple)
3) On/Off switch for display light (Moderate difficulty)
4) Speed increase. (Simple/Moderate difficulty)
5) Earphone audio improvement (Simple)
6) Channel Increase (Major hack job).

Does anyone know of any others?

Fellow netters,

I just came across three radios and a compatible charger.
The radios are Motorola MTX-900.  They have a telephone
keypad, 6 channel, ABC switch, and have the adapter
and secret service ear set, rubber duckie 8" antenna.
Also on the side of the radio there is the standard push
to talk pad, a private response button and a button that
has a telephone head set.

The model number is 673APA0237.

After I charged the radios and turned them on I got
a steady tone.  I take it that thus means I am locked
out and the radios need to be re-programmed.

My questions are

1.  Are these radios worth anything?

2.  How much does it cost to have them re-programmed?

3.  If I trade them or sell them how much are these
    worth?

4.  What would be a good trade for this set?

Any help would be appreciated.  I live in the WASH DC
area.

Any ideas?  My BC-800XLT is off by @20Mhz in the 800 range, but is on freq for all other bands.
I have tried to adjust the trimmer caps on the plug-in board w/out success.
Also, does anyone know how to tune the receiver sensitivity and/or expand
the frequencies?  Are there any keypad options which are not documented?

I live very close to a cellular tower and I receive cellular call
images anywhere between 435 and 512 MHz on a non-800 MHz radio.

Cellular calls have a distinct 6 kHz carrier tone that is
unmistakeable (once you've listened in on the real 869-894
cellular band).

You are probably recieving an "image". A multiple of the original frequency.

Well, unfortunately, the U.S.P.S. disagrees with you about the legality
and the statistics professors out there at the University of Hawaii will
be glad to tell you that chain letters require more people than the
population of the earth to succeed more than a few levels.

Here is what the U.S.P.S. has to say:

A chain letter is a "get rich quick" scheme that promises that your mail

A typical chain letter includes names and addresses of several

amount
of money--usually $5--to the person at the top of the list, and then
elim-
inate that name and add yours to the bottom. You are then instructed to
mail copies of the letter to a few more individuals who will hopefully
repeat the entire process. The letter promises that if they follow the
same procedure, your name will gradually move to the top of the list and
you'll receive money -- lots of it.

There's at least one problem with chain letters. They're illegal if they
request money or other items of value and promise a substantial return
to
the participants. Chain letters are a form of gambling, and sending them
through the mail (or delivering them in person or by computer, but
mailing
money to participate) violates Title 18, United States Code, Section
1302,
the Postal Lottery Statute. (Chain letters that ask for items of minor
value, like picture postcards or recipes, are may be mailed, since such
items are not things of value within the meaning of the law.)

Recently, high-tech chain letters have begun surfacing. They may be dis-
seminated over the Internet, or may require the copying and mailing of
computer disks rather than paper. Regardless of what technology is used
to advance the scheme, if the mail is used at any step along the way, it
is still illegal.

The main thing to remember is that a chain letter is simply a bad
invest-
ment. You certainly won't get rich. You will receive little or no money.
The few dollars you may get will probably not be as much as you spend
making and mailing copies of the chain letter.

Chain letters don't work because the promise that all participants in a
chain letter will be winners is mathematically impossible. Also, many
people participate, but do not send money to the person at the top of
the
list. Some others create a chain letter that lists their name numerous
times--in various forms with different addressee. So, in reality, all
the
money in a chain is going to one person.

Do not be fooled if the chain letter is used to sell inexpensive reports
on credit, mail order sales, mailing lists, or other topics. The primary
purpose is to take your money, not to sell information. "Selling" a
prod-
uct does not ensure legality. Be doubly suspicious if there's a claim
that
the U.S. Postal Service or U.S. Postal Inspection Service has declared
the
letter legal. This is said only to mislead you. Neither the Postal
Service
nor Postal Inspectors give prior approval to any chain letter.

Participating in a chain letter is a losing proposition. Turn over any
chain letter you receive that asks for money or other items of value to
your local postmaster or nearest Postal Inspector. Write on the mailing
envelope of the letter or in a separate transmittal letter, "I received
this in the mail and believe it may be illegal."

Please people, don't post all sorts of responses to this spam - it will not
do any good.  What will work is sending a complaint to [e-mail],
including the complete article.

You will find that the person will have a severe "talking to" by the

BRAND NEW!!! They reduced the price by $100. If you want to buy one the

Okay, I am thinking about selling my BC-2500xlt (non cellular version)
soon.  What would be a fair price for this?  Of course $100 is out of the
question and $300 is too much.  Opinions?  The Radio is 1 year old, fairly
good condition.  Would include 2 batteries, charger, leather case, manual,
and original box.

Pro-2006 Realistic Scanner For Sale
I am the second owner of the scanner. The original owner
did some modifications to it. Like restoring Cellular, adding
l.e.d.s, switches for tape recording, etc.. I removed all but
two of his modifications. The cellular and the scan speedup.
So the case has holes in it, two small ones on the front and
several in the back. The case is not worn out. The scanner
works great and the display and buttons are perfect.
I have the original box, manual and the tech manual.
Best Offer.

     I have a pro- 62 and I know that it is posibul to recive
transmitions that originat on blocked freq's on resinet or harmonic
freq's. But I cant remember the formula to calculat those harmonic
freq's. pleas help, ether the formula or modes would help.

I own a Bearcat/Uniden 890XLT that only required moving a
resistor to allow the CPU to access the 824-849 and 869-894
ranges.  The resistor that has to be moved is surface-mounted;
even with a decent soldering pen it was a tedious task.

The BC890XLT is not a wonderful performer as far as reception
goes.  It balances the lousy specs with neato-gizmo bells and
whistles and 100 ch/sec scan and search.

Someone I know just purchased a new BC890XLT from Communications
Electronics and despite all the crap about the 890 having "a new
CPU", we unblocked the unit with no trouble.

I noticed that Radio Shack is having a sale on the Pro 51.  It is
$199.99.   I wrote this message for several reasons.  First of all, if
any of you bought a Pro 51 within the last 30 days, bring your receipt in
and get a credit for the difference you paid.  Second of all, are the new
Pro 51's able to be modified to receive cell calls, like the old ones
were?

I need a little help here. I'm new at this scanner "mod" stuff, and
here's my question...

I have noticed that there are tons of mods out there for Tandy's PRO
scanners. I have yet to see ANYTHING for the PRO-36 scanner.  is this
scanner "mod-less"?? Or is it comparable to another model? Or what?
Even Radio Shack doesn't have it in their own faxback service.

If anyone can lend me a hand here, i'd appreciate it. Where can I get
mods for this scanner? I've tried just about every single web site
with no success at all when it comes to the PRO-36.

Thanks.... if you respond, please e-mail to  [e-mail]

Anybody got any info on Future Scanning Systems, formerly of Bartlesville,
Oklahoma?

A couple of years ago they marketed an interface for use between Amiga
computers and Icom Radios.  It was a hardware/software package which
started at about 150US, with a version which allowed for 2 radios to
be hooked up for 25-30US more.

Would appreciate either a post here, or e-mail from anyone who either
knows if this company is still around (I do know the old phone nbr is
no good) or might have one of these units still kicking around and
wanting to sell it.

Tnx to you all, es gud listening........Bob, near Williamsport PA

Unless you're getting hum... I use an attenuator cable (Radio Shack sells
one) that works just fine. I set the VOX on High, and set the volume
appropriately.

Also consider the possiblity of a ground loop...if that's your problem,
try putting a audio transformer in-between the scanner and the tape recorder.

I doubt it's a ground loop.  You'd only have a ground loop if there is more
than one
connection between the scanner and the recorder.  If there's only one audio
cable between them, the only other path to create a loop would be thru the AC
line(assuming the recorder is also using AC).  But since most wall-warts are
ungrounded, the scanner would still be floating when using it.  The capacitance
between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer should not be
sufficient to pass enough 60/120Hz common-mode current to cause the hum.  I
think the original suspect, i.e. excessive ripple from the scanner's AC adapter
and an insufficient power supply rejection ratio on the part of the scanner, is
more likely.  If that's the case, a regulated supply or an adapter with better
output filtering should solve the problem.

its a cd-rom that lists all frequencies in the world, which can also be

Is the 120XLT so loose?  Maybe.  How close is that paging transmitter?
And how many other transmitters (and cel-phone cells) are there within
a mile or two radius?

I have the same problem when passing a local hill.  Intermod (what you
call splatter) over 150, 450 and 800 MHz bands.  Of course, there ARE
a few hundred transmitters on the hill!  With a much tighter receiver
than a scanner.  (A Motorola G strip, for those old enough to
remember.)

  Hi there!  I was wondering if anyone in this newsgroup is a fan of
the Steve Dahl show in Chicago.  It's at 1000 khz (AM) on WMVP around
6:30am EST.  The station use to be WLUP (same freq.) but for some
reason back in '93 it changed to an all-sports format (yeechh).  Steve
Dahl is still on that freq. however.  I'm wondering why his ex-cohost
Gary Myer quit the Steve & Gary afternoon show.  All I
heard was something about Steve said something nasty about Gary's
new wife, and Gary got pissed and split while they were on the air.

  I've been listening to his show for about 5 years, via
ground-skip-waves all the way here in upstate NY, but since he
switched to a morning time-slot, I can only hear about a half-hour of
the show before dawn.  It's a bummer 'cause Steve Dahl is the coolest,
funniest person on the airwaves! (maybe the universe).

Over by 'der!

Hi, yourself.

I used to faithfully listen to the Steve and Gary show before the
LUP went sports. I especially liked the way Steve Dahl would obsess
on a single topic. This was especially borne out one day when I
had the program on my car radio on my way home from work and Steve
was musing about what John Wayne Gacy might be having for his last
meal. The next day, when I turned the LUP on at the same time, he
was STILL TALKING ABOUT IT!

I don't know why Gary left. For answers you might better try the
newsgroup rec.radio.broadcasting. Also, WLS personality Jay Marvin
is on this group a lot, and he has lots of inside info on Chicago
radio personalities. Maybe if Jay doesn't check in soon, some helpful
soul will give you his e-mail address and/or WWW page address. If you
find out why Gary left, let me know as well.

You are exactly right. He left because he thought he had an
understanding with Steve that he would never attack his family. If
you think about it you have never heard Steve talk abouy Garry's
family in the past.

While Garry was on his honeymoon Steve went after Garry's wife and
the wedding. When Garry got back one of his friends played him the
tapes and Garry never worked with Steve again.

Motorola simply is very serious about patent/trademark and intellectual property
issues.  Of course with the copying that foreign companies did, perhaps one can
understand at least where they are coming from.  I don't think they think their
stuff is the best, although some people there think that.

It has been said that Motorola got lots of ideas from ham radio experimentors.
Who knows.

But my belief from all I've heard is that Motorola considered this a simple theft
of intellectual property case and supplied backing (by joining in) because they
wanted to stop what they saw as a threat to the financial value of their system.

Very soon everyone will realize that there is a simple way to follow a trunked
transmission without any prior knowledge of the trunk system, so I guess this
is all kinda moot anyway.

I was under the impression that the case against Larry Gass was a
CRIMINAL case in which he was accused of divulging "private" radio
transmissions TO HIMSELF by listening to them.  Part of the argument was
that trunked radio systems are somehow like spread spectrum radio
systems, and that they therefore might be protected by the ECPA.

I was under the impression that (a) everyone knew the difference between
a trunked system and a spread spectrum system and (b) that a federal
court had ruled that it was only illegal to divulge radio traffic that
was also protected by the Wiretap Act.

It appears that the rapidly changing political climate may render me
wrong on both counts.

Not to pick nits, but we need to distinguish between 'rights' and
'authority'. The government operates under the 'authority' of the laws.
You, the citizen, have 'rights', not because the government decided to
give them to you but because you were born. The constitution lists some
of those rights in the first ten ammendments because the people who were
about to form the U.S. Goverment were well aware of the potential abuse
of authority by government employees.

You have the 'right' to know what your government is doing and the ECPA
merely recognizes that right, it does not confer 'authority'.

They said that the simple act of LISTENING (which they apparently COULD
prove Mr. Gass did) constituted DIVULGING the conversation to yourself.
It IS the most ridiculous thing, but the law can be twisted pretty far,
as this case proves.

But of course there are many times when a trunked radio may transmit

The mod is covered in the book- Radio Tech Modifications Vol. 8A.
It involves removing a solder bridge.

I've heard many NYC Police transmissions both by dispatch and field

the detectives call in. Real authenticity there! Anyway, any info?

What happened to Regency.  I have one of their older scanners, an

maybe buy a new one, but I can't find the company.

Does anyone have any knowledge of Regency's new name, or if it even exists

I've had one since they first came out a couple years ago...It's not a
"scout" but for 99 bucks I have gotten MORE than my moneys worth with
it. GO for it...that's a great price.

The ONLY complaint I have is you can't "Hold" a frequency...but for 79
bucks who cares!

Anytime I'm covering a story in "uncharted"radio waters I velcro the
"fishfinder" to my TV camera...a few times security guards and others
noticed it and asked why I had a freq counter on my camera...I told
them since I use wireless mics I have the freq counter to keep the
mics on frequency and to keep other crews from interfering with my
mics...I just play dumb. We also have a Videotape case that is
"customized" for the super top secret "fish finding"...but I can't
discuss that or I would have to kill myself!

Think of radio (not just AM/FM, but ALL two-way radio) as the
Internet of days gone by.  Now, let's say you could LEGALLY tap
into Internet routers across the country without anyone noticing.
Pretty cool idea, isn't it?

Those flashing lights down the street?
"Bridgeview Fire, send another ambulance to the scene!"

Should I try to go the the concert in the blowing snow?
"895 to base, I'm going to make another pass down Route 45 just
to make sure the road stays clear."

Neighbor gossiping behind your back -- on a cordless phone???
"Linda, Andrea would go Postal if she knew I told you this..."

There's 24-hour weather, police, fire, amateur radio, phones,
detectives, local businesses, the McDonalds drive-through, and
more.  The best part is that your "airtime" is absolutely free.

The best entry-level scanner I can suggest is the Uniden/Bearcat
350A.  You don't need a book to put all the freq's in it; there
built in.  I own four scanners, but I use the 350A the most
because it is simple and it really works well.

What are they teaching hams these days?  A high-pass filter, amp and

I have a BC200xlt I used it for a couple of months and charged the battery then put it away for a rainy day.  I tried to use it a couple
of days ago and the battery is dead.  Charged it up and it was dead in less than 24 hours. Charged it again, same thing. 3 times.

I have heard they have a battery problem.

Besides the battery problem I don't have my paperwork with unidens address or phone number.  Maybe someone could help me out?

Bill:

The Bearcat 200xlt in question is not at fault. I have a 200xlt and it is
typical to get 5 straight hours of listening from one full charge. Trying
to get a full 24 hours out of any radio with such a small battery pack is
almost unheard of.  I would venture to guess that your scanner is working
fine.  I have found that other scanners that have the capability of
switching between NiCads and Alkyline batteries have longer time per set
of Alkyline batteries.

Hope this helps you out.

I think you're receiving cellular calls.  I am receiving alot of

Cellular does NOT operate above 900 Mhz - If you are hearing cellular
traffic above 900 it is likely image or some other full duplex operation.

I think Garry is right, the new 900 MHz cordless phones operate in the 902
- 928 MHz range. This is also the only band where the FCC allows
"unlicensed" spread spectrum communication (including cordless phones from
Uniden, Escort, St. Tropez etc.)

You are probably getting cellular. I have a PRO51 and receive the cel.
freqs. I know the scanner included cellular freqs. at one time and RS had
to make a mod to eliminate them. It is easy to figure out if you're
receiving cellular or not. For one thing, people are constantly telling
the person their talking to 'I'm in my car' or I'm on my cellular phone',
etc. Also, you can hear a tone before the call is switched to a different
cell, and then you loose contact with that call. Let me know. Regards,
Leroy Butler

Howdy folks,

Due to a strange turn of events I no longer have my notebook of frequencies :(

Couple that with a bad battery and I now have a scanner with a blank display,
lots of zeros... :)

I'm looking for a comprehensive list of the trunked 800mhz freqs for Portland,
Oregon.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

E-Mail if possible.

Thanks

I would like some information as to whether there is a FAQ about this
newsgroup. My friend just traded a computer component for a portable
scanner. We have had a GREAT time listening to certain freqs. I would
like to purchase a scanner of my own. I don't feel that I'm qualified
to make any mods, is there a scanner that doesn't require this? What
was the date the manufacturers stopped making scanners that recieve
cellular phone freqs? How much would a portable one cost that could
recieve such freqs?  Any help would be appreciated               -Mark

I have no idea whether what your friend described actually happened, but
it is certainly the case that a scanner can be detected, and the
detector know what frequencies are being scanned.

I read it but I dont believe it. Unless I missed something I think you
are saying a Bearcat scanner transmitted a signal over several miles ???
No flame intended but even if the device had the circuitry, where did the
watts come from ?
Not to say I cant be convinced.......

Yes,  that is what I am saying.  It isn't necessary to generate a whole
bunch of Watts for a signal to transmit from point a to point b.  For
some reason this particular scanner had a very loud local oscillator
and  it was connected to an outside antenna (which I didn't mention in
my post).  I'm not sure how to convince you,  maybe you'll have to
track one down yourself sometime and then you too will know how far a
receiver *can* transmit.

B >(Bill Cheek's interface) would mind sending me feedback
B >(positives, negatives, shortcomings etc.)


Here's some of the things it can do (geared toward the PRO-2004/5/6).

Extends virtually EVERY aspect of the scanner to the computer's
monitor and keyboard.  For example, a replica of the scanner's front
panel is displayed on the monitor along with a keypad emulator to show
the keys to be pressed as if you were operating the scanner in a
normal manner.  As the scanner operates, the computer monitor shows
EVERYTHING that the scanner shows in its display!  Not only can you
operate the scanner from the computer's keyboard, you can also operate
from the scanner as well.  The CE-232 does not slow down the scanner
nor alter its peformance in any manner!

* You can see & operate every function of the scanner from the
Keyboard!
* The CE-232 can download anywhere from one to 400 channels in one
session, either from you punching the keyboard, OR automatically from
a previously prepared list of frequencies.  Manual or Auto-Programming
can include channel number, frequency, DELAY, MODE and LOCKOUT
functions as desired.

* The scanner is fully programmable by the CE-232 in all modes, etc!
* The CE-232 will auto-log for an unlimited period of time, any and
all activity that the scanner encounters, whether in SCAN or SEARCH
modes.  Each "event" (squelch break) is logged to a file as a line
item similar to:

CHANNEL-FREQ-MODE-DELAY-LOCKOUT-FUNCTION-STEP-DATE-START TIMES &
DURATION

Autologging can be turned on or off at will.  Autolog files are
automatically opened and named with a date/time logo.

Autolog files can be programmed back into the scanner's channel memory
at will with no manipulation or changes; just the press of a couple of
keys! This means that you can do a SEARCH function all night or day
while you're away and then come home and program in each new found
frequency quite simply, hands-off, in a matter of minutes!

*  An easy-to-use autologging feature is available for many purposes!
* You can....disconnect the antenna; set the ATT switch to the -10 dB
position and do a SEARCH from 25 MHz - 1300 MHz with the autolog
feature ON.  About an hour or two later, you'll have a file that
contains just the BIRDIES in your scanner!  Now you rename this file
to something like BIRDIE.LOG, and the next time you do a frequency
search, you can specify another CE-232 function called "BIRDCHECK",
which will prevent the scanner from ever locking up on a birdie (or
any other frequency that you insert into the BIRDIE.LOG).  So, not
only can you EASILY make the scanner forever reject birdies, but also
pagers, data channels and other obnoxious signals that you don't want
to monitor!!!

* The CE-232 discriminates against birdies and other undesired
signals!
* The CE-232 sports a LOOKUP function which shows a line of data every
time the scanner STOPS on a busy frequency!  Your previously prepared
AutoProgrammer File will do nicely for this function, and therefore
will display whatever is in your database for that frequency!  Great
for quick identifications of the signals received by your scanner!

I use my autoprogram file in the lookup function,  when the radio
stops on an active channel say 155,490 the following readout appears
in the window with the active channel highlighted.

,1, 155.5950,,,,  Dakota Co. Sheriff 1100-F1 Dispatch / 2 T/A
,, 154.1150,,,,  Rosemount 3500  Police
,, 155.4900,,,,  Dakota Co. Sheriff F-3
,, 154.7850,,,,  Eagan Police 3300  dispatching   Rosemount Pd/Fd

* The CE-232 offers four user-definable switches which can be used to
control add-ons or other modifications that you may have added to your
scanner! Uses for these User Switches are virtually unlimited, but
might include turning on/off things like Automatic Tape Recorder
Switches; extra memory banks; Data/Tone Squelch and any other mods or
add-ons that you've developed  or acquired.  These User Switches are
controlled by the computer!

* The CE-232 comes with a built-in, easy-to-use text editor for
editing and reviewing your log and configuration files without ever
leaving the program! Also available are two user-definable "tool" menu
selections.  This means that you can specify up to two utilities of
your own to be used with the CE-232 program!

 One of the most used functions in mine is scripting. You can select
from a varity of avalable scripts or write your own.

 A simple script I use regularly starts and stops a tape recorder
whenever _specific_ channels are active. Record only selected channels
while scanning the full 400, or whatever you select.

 Monitor several repeater input channels and switch to the output
channel when a mobile is near your location. (great for high traffic
citywide channels)

 These are a few of the abilities of the '232, you Will find others...

Good Signals...    LCM

I recently acquired the ce-232(the new hb232)from Bill Cheek.I use it on
my pro2006,43,39,&34.On the 2006/2004 scanners it is a killer system.Also
it is on sale now for $149.Features:1)Autoprogramming-It will
automatically load freqs into your scanner from a file.All you need to do
is make the files press a couple buttons and sit back.2)Autolog-when on it
logs all hits with a time stamp and duration to a file you can look up and
print or whatever.3)Look-up-It will look up freqs ,your radio lands on ,in
a file you designate.I.E.If the radio lands on 154.8450 and the lookup
feature is on the lower screen shows the freq and any info about it which
is in your file.There are alot of features i havent even realized yet.It
is an excellent system especially for the money.Also you can operate the
scanner from your computer keyboard.And a facsimile of the scanner display
and keyboard is on the comp screen.Bill also backs it 100% with technical
help through e-mail and his BBS.If you have any more questions e-mail me

But, don't forget they added 2.5Mhz, and WWVB on 60khz if you want a

Mr. Strings,

I'd be interested in getting a CC of any responses you get
to this post that aren't posted here.  I'll also check my books
to see if I have anything, but I don't think so.

Thanks!

My Bearcat 101 (circa 1976) just 'up' and quit on me today.  No LED's
light up, but I hear static in the speaker when the volume is turned up
(pot noise.)  Can this unit be repaired?  Maybe the internal battery
finally expired.  What's a Bearcat'r to do now?

Unlikely.  Mine quit somewhere in the past, and I called Uniden to see
what they could do.  They'll give you some percent off the price of one
of their (I think) factory refurbs.  Give them a call [phone].

One question - WHAT internal battery?

There are several mods for the 200 listed at

I don't know if any is to extend battery life but it might be of some

I have a BC200 with two battery packs that I take to the stock car races.
I'd like to know what I need to do in the off season (for me the off
season is November through March) so that the battery packs are OK.  I
_might_ program in some police/fire/emergency numbers for the heck of it,
but I don't really get into that end of things.

So, what's the best way to save my batteries?

I've always been in the habit of COMPLETELY draining the Nicad packs in
various stuff if they were not going to be in use for a long time..

EG: I have 2 cell phones I have had packed away for some 3 years now
since my last use.. before packing them away I drained the nicads
throughly.  Just a couple months ago I took them out, recharged them
(via a 'slow' charge function of the phone) and they seem to have the
same characteristics as before.

If you want cellular, the Radio Shack PRO-2006 is a better choice. Even
though the 9000XLT is an excellent scanner, the 2006 has better image
rejection. My first choice is the 2006, followed by the 9000XLT.

I reccommend the 2006, AOR 3000a, Icom R-100, or Icom R7000. Any if these
will work great, 've used them all. Celular isn't that important as it
gets old after awhile..


2006 is my first choice.

have you thought of the fact that maybe the antenna isn't broken, but
rather the antenna CONNECTOR?  this is a common problem with most
handhelds, having the antenna connector contact between the pc board and
the connector breaking.  just open up the unit and tack solder it back
into being connected.  2 minute operation.

                 BUYING A USED SCANNER RADIO

                    by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  [NOTE: This article may not be reproduced in whole  or  in

 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
 "The Uniden Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,  in
 Monitoring Times, April 1995.


                           Regency

 TMR series: First generation crystal scanners. Come in  all
 varieties  of  band  coverage. Models with both UHF and VHF
 bands  must   use   separate   antennas   for   each   band
 (disadvantage  in mobile installations, but can be overcome
 by  connecting  two  front  ends  via  a  capacitor).   Not
 sensitive enough to cover the entire 30 - 50 MHz range in a
 single  model.   There  three  versions  of  VHF-low   band
 coverage  depending  on  the  part  of the 30 - 50 MHz band
 covered (LL, LM. and  LH).   TMR  scanners  use  unsocketed
 incandescent  bulbs  for  channel  indicators which require
 periodic  replacement.   Easy  to  crystal:   Radio   Shack
 crystals  work  well.   TMRs usually $2 and up at hamfests,
 often in poor condition.  Don't pay more than $50, even  if
 mint. Front ends must be tuned for selected portions within
 the  bands  for  best  sensitivity.  Wide  IF   selectivity
 troublesome  in  urban/suburban  areas.  Primitive  digital
 scanning circuitry may become confused at times. but  power
 off/on  restores  sanity.  Replace  aging capacitors in the
 scanning circuits. You can find a TMR8H eight channel  high
 band unit most often.

 TME series: The base versions of the TMR models.  Both  the
 TME  and TMR models share many common circuits but the base
 versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel.   The
 most  common  TME model is the TME8 H/LM eight channel dual
 band scanner in a metal cabinet with wood coloring.

 ACTR series: Replaced the Regency TMR units.  By  the  time
 Regency  made  the  ACTR  units,  they  no  longer  offered
 different models for different parts of the  30  -  50  MHz
 band.   Look  for  the later ACT series, e.g., ACTR-106 (10
 channel tri band) or ACTR20/6 (20 channel tri  band),  used
 light  emitting  diodes  for  channel indicators instead of
 incandescent bulbs.  Available in 1 to 20 channel models  -
 most  are multi band receivers.  Somewhat wide selectivity.
 Not all that bad a deal if cheap.

 ACTE series: The base versions of  the  ACTR  series.   The
 ACTE  and  ACTR  circuitry  is  similar,  although the base
 versions contain speakers mounted on the front panel.   The
 most  common ACTE model is the ACTE8 H/L eight channel dual
 band scanner in a black metal cabinet.


 WHAMO-10: Regency's first synthesized scanner.   Appearance
 more like a crystal scanner, with a single LED per channel.
 User has to break off teeth on  a  metal  'comb'  for  each
 channel  according  to  a  code  book.  External  frequency
 control unit DFS-5K optional. UHF VCO reference  oscillator
 drifts  on  some units. Soldered sheet metal shields around
 some circuitry make access to some components difficult for
 servicing.  Comb  sockets  prone  to  bad connections after
 moderate  use.   Not   recommended   due   to   maintenance
 difficulties.

 K500: Nice wood-like cabinet.  40 channel model with  every
 feature  Regency  could  dream  of  in  one scanner, except
 aircraft band. Idle tone bypass feature  for  mobile  phone
 stations  works  about  50%  of  the  time.  Weather  alert
 feature. Service Search in several banks. Search and  Store
 facility  not implemented as well as BC250, but better than
 none. Built in clock when radio off or in manual mode.  Can
 be  programmed  out  of  band.  Reasonable performance, but
 sensitivity could be better. Spring  contacts  on  membrane
 keyboard may need soldering after prolonged use.

 K100: Bare bones version  of  the  K500.  10  channels,  no
 priority  feature.  Same  wood-like  cabinet and reasonable
 performance as K500. Spring contacts on  membrane  keyboard
 may need soldering after prolonged use.

 M400: 30 channel replacement for K500.  Service Search, but
 no  aircraft.  Easily  programmable  out  of band. Built in
 clock when radio off or in manual  mode.  Backlit  keyboard
 good  for  night  viewing  and mobile use but generates RFI
 into nearby SW receivers. A favorite.

 MX3000: 30 channel replacement for M400, but basic features
 only.  Nice  lit keyboard, but may cause RFI into nearby SW
 receivers.  Easily  programmable  out  of  band,   but   no
 aircraft. All 30 channels are in a single bank, and lack of
 direct channel access make this  model  more  difficult  to
 operate. Good first scanner.

 M100: 10 channel unit.  Same  as  MX3000  except  different
 color  and  fewer  channels.  Nicely  lit keyboard, but may
 cause RFI into nearby SW receivers.

 HX1000:  Good,   fairly   rugged,   30   channel   handheld
 synthesized  unit.  Generous out of band coverage but no AM
 aircraft coverage. Built by Azden. Very sensitive  on  UHF,
 but   annoying   audio  hiss  leaks  through  speaker  when
 squelched. Belt clip chintzy, but can be directly  replaced
 with better clip from Kenwood TR2600A. Like the MX3000, all
 30 channels are in  a  single  bank,  and  lack  of  direct
 channel  access  make this model more difficult to operate.
 Low discount price makes this best choice for  programmable
 portable.

 HX650/H604: 6 channel  crystal  portable.  Likely  made  by
 Sanyo.  Same as Fannon and Bearcat Thin Scan units, (except
 that Bearcat has 10.8 MHz IF frequency, and  is  harder  to
 get  crystals for), but scans faster. Small size and common
 crystals (available at Radio Shack), make this  1st  choice
 for bare bones portable scanner.


                         Radio Shack

 PRO2004: 1986 vintage.  Top of the line, wide band  scanner
 for  1987.  After a diode is cut, enjoy continuous coverage
 from 25-520 and 760-1300 MHz, AM, NBFM, and WBFM.  Has  300
 channels  in  10  banks  of 30, backed up by conventional 9
 volt alkaline battery.  Any channel can be  designated  the
 priority  channel.   Scans and searches fast.  Lots of well
 designed features, like 10 pairs of search limits,  Lockout
 Review,  default search increment and emission mode.  Sound
 Squelch allows skipping  dead  carriers  during  search  or
 scan.    Metal  cabinet,  good  internal  construction  and
 shielding, but no mobile mounting bracket or DC power cord.
 Soft   touch   membrane  keyboard.   Good  sensitivity  and
 selectivity.  Very good radio.  See  "Product  Review:  The
 Radio  Shack PRO-2004 Programmable Scanner," by Bob Parnass
 AJ9S,  in  The  Radio  Enthusiast,   February   1987,   and
 Monitoring Times, March 1987.

 PRO2005: 1989 vintage.  Essentially a size reduced PRO-2004
 with  surface  mount  components  and  400  channels.  Some
 people think the small knobs, smaller display, and  plastic
 cabinet  are  a  setback  from the 2004.  The smaller size,
 real rubber keyboard, and  vertical  front  panel  make  it
 easer  to  use mobile, although there is no mobile mounting
 bracket available and the keyboard is  not  backlit.   More
 sensitive  than  the  PRO-2004  but  800  MHz  signals leak
 through into the commercial aero band.  Highly recommended.
 See  "Product Review: The Radio Shack PRO-2005 Programmable
 Scanner," by Bob Parnass AJ9S,  in  The  Radio  Enthusiast,
 June 1989, and RCMA Journal, August 1989.

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

 PRO-2035: 1995 vintage.  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.

 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.

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

Hi..

Looking for the freq layout of the cellular channels between 869 and
894 mhz.

In my area i'm picking up about 100 voice channels from 869.280 to
893.640 on both system A and B.

Is there a little program out there that will sort these freq's out.

Example...Input a freq and output--the reverse voice freq
                                 --the cell ch number
                                 --the cell site number


Any info(or program) would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance...

Ron

   Greetings:

  There are several way to connect a computer to a radio. Depending on the
connection made, there are different operations that can be done.

  The first connection is from the scanner (or radio) audio output to a decoder.
The decoder is usually connected to the serial (RS232) port of your computer.
These decoders (sometimes also called TNCs) allow the computer to decode
weather maps, ham packet communications, morse code, RTTY and other forms
of digital transmissions. There is also software available that allows a computer
sound card to perform these operations instead of using a separate decoder.

  There are several scanners on the market today that have RS232 (serial) ports
built in to the unit. ICOM, KENWOOD, and AOR all make units with this interface. In
addition, OPTOELECTRONICS makes add on boards for certain Radio Shack scanners,
that add this interface. The scanner serial port is used for controlling the
scanner from the computer. With this control, the functionality of the scanner
is greatly enhanced. More memory channels and automatic data logging are
just some of the possiblities. There are several programs on the commercial and
shareware market that interface to some or all of the radios mentioned.

  And lastly, there is the human interface. The computer can be used for keeping
track of frequencies through database and logging programs. Use of some sort
of frequency database is a MUST for any serious scanner enthusiast.

 Hopefully, this information is of some use. Happy scanning.

    Rich

The CTCSS board is board that decodes the subaudible tones on the radio
signals. What it does is if 2 agencies are on the same frequency, you can
set the CTCSS to decode one of them IF YOU KNOW THE CORRECT TONE.  You
have to know the correct tone for it to work, but the CTCSS is used to
FILTER unwanted signals.  If you have interferece on a frequency, you can
filter it out because your radio will NOT allow the interference through
because it does not have the tone on the signal.  That's the meat of it.
 You CAN monitor a signal with a tone on it, but as i said CTCSS is used
to filter out unwanted signals. That is all.  In ham radio, CTCSS is used
to keep "intermod" or interference from bringing up a "repeater". The
CTCSS baord DECODES signals with subaudible tones.

Hi,
Found my RS discone very poorly engineered. Seems that the stanless steel
radials screwed into the unit using chrome plated _brass_ screws.
Touch the radials and they break off.
I trashed my antenna after RS replaced radials and the new ones still used the
brass screws to connect to main ant. shaft.
IMHO, Groves scanner beam or the Antenna Specialists (or both coupled
together) broadband omni are two of the best on the market. Do use a good
preamp if you are away from a major metro area.
Hope this helps.
Temp

        Has anyone had any experience using decoders Cool150 or
DTMF_rt2 ?  Cool150 looks like an awesome program but all I could get
it to do was analyze the frequency of the tones and that doesn't do
any good being as how some numbers have the same freq down to a
tenth of a decimal point (or at least that what seems to be the case).

        And as far as DTMF_rt2 , I don't know what the hell is wrong
with that thing.

If you need frequency information for your area or area of interest, I'll
do a search for you of my database and sen d you the results on a 3 or 5
inch floppy...you will get inn some cases over 30,000 frequencies!
everything from the security guards to the Police, fire, and ambulances.

I need the following information:
1) city/state or area to search
2) latitude/longitude
3) postal mailing address...I can't attatch to e-mail

I'll send you the disk along with a sheet explaining how to extract the
files .DBF file...I do charge a small fee ($10-15) depending on the
search, this helps pay for the postage, disk, and keeping my data current!
 JOHN
I have frequencies for the USA but also have a shortwave database...

I guess the Pro-2026 with the cell mod in this mornings paper for $70.00
is a good deal.

It depends what the manufacturing date of the $70.00 scanner is.
I doubt very much if a working, cellular-modified 2026 can be found for $70.

The MVT 8000 is a brilliantly designed angled front panel, 200 channel
ac/dc scanner. It has a mounting bracket for mobile use and comes with a
cigarette lighter adapter although it can be hard wired. I use mine as a
desktop unit in my office.  Due to its small footprint, it occupies very
little space on my desk.
It covers 8 Mhz to 1300 Mhz and receives in WFM, NFM and AM. Frequency
steps are 5,10,12.5,50 and 100 Khz.  It's got a 10 band search function,
pass memory function, and other goodies found in high-end scanners.
Although seemingly assigned on the front panel by preset factory settings,
searches are categorized  to conform to channel numbering as follows:
Channel No.        Band

1                        FM
2                        Air V
3                        Air U
4                        Ham V
5                        Fire
6                        Marine
7                        Police U
8                        Ham U
9                        MCA
10                      PRNSL (903.0375-904.9875)
Of course, you can change factory settings. It also has a battery save
function.

                                                                    $450.00

 It isn't the antenna or lack of signal.  You're not getting
 enough audio recovery from the I.F./detector stages of the
 TV.  They probably have swamping resistors in them to widen
 the bandwidth, expecting a wide swing in the signal but the
 PD (and all other) transmissions are narrow-band FM.

I just got a BC200 and it has no audio, nor does the display light come
on.  I tried the key sequence for the test mode, and it worked fine.  It
scans, programs, and searches OK, yet it doesn't receive (it doesn't stop
on active channels) and the squelch and volume controls don't seem to
have any effect.

Anybody encounter this problem?  Is it something easy to fix?  Could it
be an internal fuse or something?

Mucho thanks in advance (please hurry, I'm asking for my money back
tomorrow),

         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.    The  1996  edition  will  contain  selected
 business frequencies, too.

 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.   In  1996,  Beyond  Police  Call  may  be
 replaced by expanded regional copies of Police Call.

 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,
 companies,  and  organizations  across  the country, I will
 locate FCC licensed and selected FAA transmitter  sites  in
 an  area of your choice, in any state, and produce a custom
 RadioMap(TM) report, including  an  8-1/2"  by  11"  scaled
 color  map,  protected  by plastic.  The map is marked with
 transmitter sites,  cities,  highways,  airports,  military
 installations,  national  parks, etc.  New RadioMap reports  |
 include a frequency allocation histogram, a 0 -  1,000  MHz  |
 "spectrum  analyzer-like" display showing spectrum usage in  |
 the map coverage area.

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

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

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

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

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

 Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing.

 A custom RadioMap report costs $20.95 plus  $5.00  shipping
 and handling.  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  50  |
 pages  long.   Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges,
 there is coverage of HF utility stations below 30  MHz.   A
 recent  liberalization  of  club  policy  now  permits  the
 printing of most federal law enforcement frequencies, e.g.,
 Secret Service, FBI, Customs, and DEA.

 Inquiries about RCMA membership should be sent to:


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

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

 More information is available from:


                   All Ohio Scanner Club
                   50 Villa Road

                    Do Your Own Sleuthing

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

 You can approach from two directions:

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

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

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.


        What Makes Station Identification Difficult?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



             Examine the FCC License on Premise

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



            Examine the Labels on Radio Equipment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



           Equipment to Determine Frequency Usage

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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


                           Summary

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

Ericcson has sold them a system so bad, that the firefighters have

old Motorola trunked system put back in.

The system really bites.  Typical of Erricsson now a days.  Junk.

Robert: Where ever you are re-locating, pray to God it is not a "sales
oriented" job position; if it is, hopefully your night job will pay the
bills! Why would you post a note in such a "negative" manner????? It's
like, "I have something you may want, but YOU can't have it!!!!!!!!!".
Well, I don't think ANYONE reading that post will consider it, AT ALL.
My thought is, maybe you have this equipment, maybe you don't, but to you,
 that is immaterial. I believe your intention was to start a "snow-
balling" argumentative response, which willl call all kinds of attention
to YOU. And yes, I am one of the "weak ones" who just had to "air" my
opinion of you. However, I'd rather be weak in that way, than "insecure"
in your way. "Pissed-off"? Put yourself in our shoes. How would you react?
??????????????

The scuttlebutt on the receiver is that reception is much more limited
than the frequencies shown on the display.  As a result, I bought an
icom IC-2SRA, which will receive up to 1 gig.

The H/S / Priority sets and turns on and off priority for a particular
channel; turns on and off the hyper scan mode

The S/S / Lockout locks out a channel in the scan mode and in the search
mode it will
lock out a particular frequency during a limit or direct search S/S= Skip
Search.  You can program up to 50 skip frequencies in the scanner's
memory.  After 50 the next s/s will overwrite the 1st one.  To remove a
freq from skip memory, halt the search and select the frequency, then
press S/S until L/O disappears from the display.

The RVW is for viewing those 50 skip freqs.  To use, start a limit search,
press SHIFT then press RVW.  You can them go through the 50 skip freqs via
the up and down arrow keys.

After pressing limit to pause the search, as you mentioned, you can single
step via the up/down arrows.  Press limit key again and resume scan
search.


The belt clip is plastic, but seems to be pretty sturdy.

                  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 (until Oct. 10, 1995)
        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.  The 1996 editions will contain  selected  business
 listings, too.

 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.   Early  issues  disappointed
 experienced scanner hobbyists, but it now has a good column
 on scanner  modifications  and  has  greatly  improved  its
 coverage  of east coast frequencies since merging with NESN
 (North East Scanner  News).   The  best  scanner  frequency
 lists  are often found in club publications, not commercial
 magazines, and are discussed later.

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

 The FCC has an agreement with PerCon (tel. [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,
 companies,  and  organizations  across  the country, I will
 locate FCC licensed and selected FAA transmitter  sites  in
 an  area of your choice, in any state, and produce a custom
 RadioMap(TM) report, including  an  8-1/2"  by  11"  scaled
 color  map,  protected  by plastic.  The map is marked with
 transmitter sites,  cities,  highways,  airports,  military
 installations,  national  parks, etc.  New RadioMap reports  |
 include a frequency allocation histogram, a 0 -  1,000  MHz  |
 "spectrum  analyzer-like" display showing spectrum usage in  |
 the map coverage area.

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

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

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

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

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

 Longer ranges for additional charge - call for pricing.

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

            Do Your Own Frequency Detective Work

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

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

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

 You can approach from two directions:

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

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

 Most listeners use a combination of both approaches.

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

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

                   How Can I Use Equipment
                 to Uncover New Frequencies?

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

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

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

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

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


                Are There Any Scanner Clubs?

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

 The   world's   largest   scanner   club   is   the   Radio
 Communications  Monitoring  Association (RCMA).  Founded in
 1975, the RCMA is the  "first  national  and  international
 organization   of  monitor  radio  listeners."   There  are
 several regional  chapters  which  hold  regular  meetings.  |
 Club  dues  are $27.00 per year, which includes the monthly  |
 Scanner Journal, approximately 50 pages  in  8-1/2"  x  11"  |
 format.  Although the focus is on VHF and UHF ranges, there
 is coverage of HF utility stations below 30 MHz.  The  RCMA  |
 web page is at http://comp.uark.edu/~plaws/rcma/.

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


                    All Ohio Scanner Club

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

 Annual dues are $18.50 and more  information  is  available
 from:


               Dave Marshall, Managing Editor
               All Ohio Scanner Club,
               50 Villa Road,
               Springfield, OH 45503.



          Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association

 The Chicago Area Radio Monitoring  Association  (CARMA)  is
 the  foremost  club  for  scanner  radio  hobbyists  in the
 northern Illinois area.  CARMA was formed from the  Chicago
 chapter  of the Radio Communications Monitoring Association
 (RCMA), and we have been meeting since the early 1980s.

 Many CARMA members are active in ham radio  and  GMRS,  but
 the club is devoted to scanning and scanners.

 Meetings are held on Saturdays, many at  area  restaurants,
 about  6  times a year.  Although lunch starts at noon, the
 meetings begin officially at 1 PM and often run until about
 4  PM.  You must purchase a lunch since we get the room for
 free.  Meetings consist of a quick review of club business,
 sometimes  a  special  presentation,  and  a  "round table"
 discussion/question & answer session.  Large quantities  of
 information  and  frequency  lists are often distributed in
 the form  of  free  handouts.   Members  often  sell  radio
 equipment at the meetings, too.

 In addition  to  regular  meetings,  there  are  two  CARMA
 picnic/field  days  during  which  members  meet at a park,
 erect antennas, eat,  and  operate  scanners  from  battery
 power.   CARMA  members  take  organized  tours  of various
 communications facilities in the area.

 Club meeting dates and times are  published  in  the  CARMA
 newsletter,   published   6  times  a  year.   A  one  year
 subscription is available by mailing a $15  check,  payable
 to Kim Moran, to:


                     CARMA
                     P.O. Box 2681
                     Glenview, IL 60025

 Some  CARMA  members  participate  on  the  CARMA  computer
 bulletin  board,  run  by  Will  Sperling.   There is a $15
 annual fee for the BBS.  If you have a modem  and  terminal
 or  computer,  you  can  reach  the  CARMA  BBS  by calling
 [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.
August 19
October 14
December 9 - Philly's Restaurant, Rt 83 & 63rd St., Willowbrook

Hi,,,

Does anyone out there have a breakdown on how the LAPD's
divisions are organized as far as which divisions cover
the various geographic areas in LA?

What I'd also like to know is which division numbers correspond
to those areas, e.g. patrol car designations 6-Adam-39.  What division
would 6 correspond to?

And last but not least....  From what I understand "Adam" corresponds
to a two man patrol unit, "L" corresponds to a one man unit and "Mary"
corresponds to a motorcycle unit.  I believe "X-ray" is either a detective?
or one of the specialized units.  What other code names are used?

Please respond via email as I only get to read these newsgroups periodically
as work permits...

Thanks...

1. 1% of all CONNECTED telephones equates to nearly all simultaneous
conversations.  You're correct about the fact that they haven't
mentioned WHAT or HOW they will do when they have this ability.

2. Digital telephone conversations can be easily monitored NOW, so the
claim that digital equipment prevents monitoring is a scam for fools
like yourself to believe.  Besides, having warrants doesn't stop
monitoring, it just prevents the results from being admitted as
evidence.  When did the FBI ever lose and invasion of privacy suit?
The FBI monitors many things now, without warrants.  So do local police
agencies.  Cellular telephone conversations and pager transmissions are
just two of them.

3. The bottom line, folks, is that you don't have legal rights just
because wome law says you do.  The USA is a police state and becoming
more obtrusively so every moment.

As for YOU, Mr. Stark, you LAWYER, you should go take a course in
REALITY.  Perhaps it'll wake you up.

I've seen ads for equipment that decodes pagers (GOLAY and
POCSAG, and wonder if anyone could tell me how well they work,
and is there anything interesting to decode; or is it just an
endless stream of phone numbers.  I would appreciate any
discussion on this subject, as I am considering getting into
this part of scanning.

If anyone has any technical info on this system, please post it.
Was this a SmartNet-I or SmartNet-II system?
Any other info would be of interest to many of us on this group.
Thanks, Raydo

Hi Richard:

As far as I know of, the NWS only uses the VHF  weather broadcast
frequencies for all services.  Alerts, watches, and warnings, are
usually proceeded by a 1050? Hz tone that will set off monitoring
receivers you can buy from the 'shack.

You might be thinking of the Skywarn nets, run by the amateurs.
If you ask around, someone probably has that info.

according to the Airtouch cellular they tried to use passive repaeter
systems in the new comvention center to no avail. Apparently they have

I've seen cellular phone dealers promoting the use of a so-called
"Passive repeater" antenna to use in vehicles with handheld cell
phones. There are no wires that attach the phone to the antenna...
it just mounts on the window and serves as a "connection" to the
outside of the car.

Has anybody had any real experience with one of these either with
a cell phone or with a scanner? Are they supposed to boost
reception as well as transmission? (If so, they might increase
reception on a scanner in the same frequency range...see what

On the surface, the concept sounds pretty iffy to me...and there is

Think about it. The passive antenna is intercepting what tiny fraction
of the total radiation emitted? The equivalent of a point on a circle.
To have this tiny fraction of the total power re-radiated......
come-on, if it sounds too good to be true, then.....

 The railroad companies have been using "passive repeaters" for years.
They place an antenna in the tunnel and connect it via coax to an antenna
outside the tunnel. It has worked well for them. However, 800mhz is a much
higher band. If you were in a steel van that had no windows, there might
be a noticable improvement. But in a car that has lots of windows, you
would need test equiptment to tell the difference. Buy a magnetic mount or
glass mount and just run the coax to your seat. Connect the phone when you
are in the car. Otherwise save your money.

I've done _considerable_ experimentation with the "public domain" POCSAC
decoder, as well as written my own version.  From my experience, I would
suggest that the single most important factor in sucessfully decoding POCSAG is
to modify the receiver to bring out a good clean signal dirrectly from the FM
discriminator, _before_ any de-emphisis. Most any op-amp or comparator will do
nicely to square-up the resulting signal.

The 741 is adequate for POCSAG decoding with the above circut(but I'm
quite sure that a LM324 would work as well).
In fact, within the limits of the PD-102 package, it actually works a bit
better than Message Tracker.

Hi people!

I am thinking of buying Radio Shack PRO-26
handheld scanner.  Have any of you had any

$450 ?

NO, it is not worth $450.00 because it is cellular blocked and overpriced.

You can by the same scanner from Javiaton in the U.K for $400.00 delivered
to your door, and the U.K model is NOT cellular blocked. You can find
Javiaton on the WWW. Btw, I am not in any way associated with Javiaton.

By the way, I used to think that it was a case of my phone's transmitter
blowing the front end off my scanner -- antennas too close, etc.

I don't think that's the case.  I watched my phone change channels in the
tech mode, and the birdies remain the same.  I used to think there was a
pattern to this, but that doesn't seem to be.
Also, if it was front-end overload, it would happen on most channels
instead of a few, and with either my or my girlfriend's phone (both 3W),
no?

Folks,

I have a Radio Shack transportable cellular telephone (one of the ones
made by Nokia).  It's really handy.  The only problem is, when I turn it
on, it wreaks havoc with my scanner! (A BC590XLT).  It causes birdies, or
something, on certain channels.  It's not always the same channels
either.  Sometimes it'll lock up on 155.910 and 154.160.  Other times it
will be 155.190 and 154.190.  When I lock one of these pair out, later,
the other pair will start locking up.  Then I can go back and lock the
other two in--with no problem.  Sometimes nothing locks up, but that's
rare.  I've tried using another scanner--my BC200XLT, and it locks up on
the same channels.  However, it also locks up on other channels that I
don't have in the 590--primarily UHF channels.  I tried wrapping the
outside of the phone tranceiver in foil, and had limited success.  I also
tried sheilding the phone cord with foil..again with limited success.  My
girlfriend has a Motorola cellular, and my scanner and HER phone get
along great.   My scanner and phone are quite close to each other--but
with the layout of my vehicle they almost have to be that close.

Please email any suggestions or common problems . . .

Thanks much,
Scott Van Aartsen

%Brian Webb, KD6NRP Brain,

When does the space shuttle use 259.700 for communication? I was under the
impression that they use digital communication off satellites. I beleive
that the 259.700 frequency is used only during landing. Please elaborate.

It is a pretty good scanner.  $650 is a very good price.
Computer control of this unit is not that great.  It is slow to
lock onto frequencies so scanning is slower than without
the computer.  I tried it on mine for a while and gave up.
The 3000A is not a very good "first" scanner, but if you
already have a few, it is a great addition.

Motorola is trying to sell my employer on thier trunked system...they
left 2 ht's for us to demo...ptt two-way and ptt phone. (mtx8000)
These radios have programed into them all of the repeater systems in
the upper snake river valley.  I wanted to know these freqs...so off
to my favorite radio shack store to borrow a rs freq counter.  The
counter would read the 3 watt signal at 15-20 ft.  In the slow gate
(highest res.) mode 818.5875 would display as 818.5883.  I was able to
get a total of 9 freqs on 3 different repeater sites (it's more than I
had before).  The counter never did display the correct freq...I don't
know if this was the fault of the ht or the counter.  Also there is a
mod to put a hold switch on the counter.  For the $80 sale price, it's
a steal.  If I had an extra $80 I'd have a counter.

That's strange, because a few months ago I went over  to the Radio
shack nearest me and they said they were fined for selling 800 Mhz
scanners.

From what I understand they have portions of the 800MHz range there and
simply followed suit with a marketing blitz proclaiming them to be
"800 MHz" scanners..  however they do in fact have the designated blocks
in which cell is alloted BLOCKED.  You can still recieve some images
on these scanners but in reality they are not able to tune the actual
real deal.

Hey, I just recently purchased radio shacks freq counter... $79.00 is an
attractive price - the question is, does it do what I need it to?

Here is my situation.  I see a security guard across the street, maybe down
a block.  Can I pull up my RS counter and get his frequency? Im assuming I can
get his receive by a standard shift(+ or -) ...

Next situation.  I'm in a hotel, see a lady talking down the hall on a walkie
talkie- Can I pull this out and get the frequency?

I've been messing with fastfood low power repeaters, and RS's counter
does NOT lock on any freq..... I was standing RIGHT next to the transmitter
Im sure this would be a strong signal....

Is this counter gonna work in these situations, or do I need something better?

Thanks

  I have received  numerous requests for a download location of the RADIOCTL

OS/2 versions can be downloaded. The author of the program can also be
contacted at this location. I have heard that there may also a copy of it on
Compuserve, but I cannot verify this, as I do not have a Compuserve ID.
The OS/2 version is reported to work with ICOM, KENWOOD, AOR and OPTO

Hey All!

I'm looking for recommendations on a good mobile antenna to use with my
BCT-7.  Are the "converters" that let you use your regular AM-FM antenna
with a scanner any good?  I realize that nothing would compare to a
dedicated scanner antenna, but I don't really want to drill holes or use
a magnetic mount antenna.  Since part of what I want to monitor is the CB
band, I guess I should rule out glass mount antennas because I understand
that they transmit very little signal at low frequencies.  Any
recommendations you can give me would be great.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone ever attempted take the 2005/6 and remote the control head?  There
are a few cables that would need to be extended, but I don't know if it would work.
 Maybe too much noise or not enough signal on the lines to go a few feet.  Any
thoughts?

I recently bought a Yupi 7000 (second hand) and have noticed an annoying fault
where occasionally the sound cuts out when any of the top controls are used,
the antenna is 'wiggled', or an earphone is plugged in.

My guess is that it has taken a knock to the antenna and this has cracked
something internally, hopefully not the main PCB.

Has anyone else attempted to repair one of these?  Any hints?  eg should I
lift the back away from the front, or the front away from the back?  are there
the ubiquitous small springs inside that will automatically ping into dark
corners & never be see again?  ;-)

Thanks,
Matt

[SNIP SNIP SNIP]

OOOOPPPSSSS.......NO NO NO......don't do what I just suggested. Must
learn to read more carefully.......

The details I mentioned were for the MVT-7100 not MVT-7000 !!!!
                                     ^^^^^^^^
Apologies for wasted Bandwith.

So, lets try again....engage brain: mirror, signal, manouvre.....

MVT-7000 not quite so easy.

Remove batteries. Remove two screws from bottom of radio. Carefully
slide out the two small metal lugs in the battery compartment that these
two screws go into. Don't want to loose them.

You will probably find removing all eight screws down the side a better
option first time around, so take all 8 scerws out.

***IMPORTANT***

Remove the rotary dial knob and the locking nut.

You will also need to carefully remove the strip down the left hand side
which is stuck down.

The radio will split into two however be very careful at the top near
the rotary dial. You need to carefully guide the rotary dial down
through the hole in the top plastic section. The top plastic section
will stay rigid as it is retained onto the back half. The rotary dial is
actually connected to the board on the front half of the radio so go
gently with it until you can "see" whats happening. It can be a little
"tricky" so just go carefully.

Only connecting cable is the speaker cable which goes to a jumper block.
Its long enough not to cause any problems.

Once apart just keep an eye on the black lamp button and key lock slide
switch. Also the four screw splates will be loose if you took all eight
screws out from the side.

The bottom RF board will lift out if you remove the three screws holding
it down.

have any frequencies they have found to be effective for this purpose? i
have a list of some freqs for PA state police, but i usually only find

any help appreciated.

I just bought a Pro 2021 at a garage sale and it had no owner's
manual. As far as I can see, the manual for my Pro 2028 is very
close to being useable for the 2021. Can anyone tell me if there
is anything different (besides the number of channels and the
wider UHF range)?  I was also wondering if there are any mods,
the approx. age and the cost when new. I got it for 6 bucks and
have had it going for maybe 8 hours now with no problems. Oh yeah -
I had to put in a new 9v battery as it kept beeping and flashing
a "BATT" indicator. I have had it working with 110 volts and 12
volts. Thanks for any info. I looked back for a month and 1/2
in this conference and found nothing I could use.

Have use my 2006 in my car when I was a 9-1-1 operator. Could find
out what was going on a work on the drive there.

I used the car antenna thru a RS all metal Y-adaptor and it worked
quite well. When I tried to use a coax Y I made myself, I got a lot
of noise on the AM/FM when the 2006 was plugged in.

Now have the 2006 on a shelf at home and am using the metal shelf
brackets as the antenna. Also have my Yaesu FRG-7000 clipped to
the same shelf for its MF antenna. When the 2006 is turned on,
I get a lot of IF type noise on the FRG-7000.

Any suggestions on a cure for the 2006 or is there something going
on inside it that needs to be corrected.

E-mail or post the replies.

TIA

I once had this problem with my vox recorder and scanner. It turned out
that is was a simple impedance mismatch that caused the  recorder to
respond to every noise including no signal conditions. By matching the
recorder input impedance to the impedance of the output of the
receiver, the problem wass gone.

Speaking of support... I purchased the Spring 1995 SPECTRUM disk.  I
found and reported a bug (the software will not print DOS mode).  I was
told someone would be back in touch with me.

NO RESPONSE!

All I want is software that works... Can you help me?

The NF2G site for scannists has been updated again.  The new revision is
coded in HTML version 3, so if your browser doesn't know what TABLEs and
FRAMEs are, you may not enjoy the information as much as people using
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator 2.0 or whatever.

Of course, all you need to do is upgrade.  :-)

Check out http://home.eznet.net/~dstark/  and get on the bleeding edge - err,
I mean cutting edge of WWW scanning info.

        OOPS!  Those of you who attempted to view my homepage WITHOUT
Netscape Navigator 2.0 probably didn't get very far.  It's my fault.  I
forgot to provide links away from the INDEX.HTML page in the part that
displays to non-FRAME-aware browsers.

        The oversight has been corrected and I apologize to anyone who wasted
time trying to view a page that was inaccessible.

The Scout is available from Optoelectronics for $449.00. (ouch!) Their phone #

Hello Chuck,

I gotta Mercedes 350SL and it comes with a Alinco DR600.  Been
thinking that I might want to trade for those two beach bunnies if you
don't want them any more...

No, I don't own a scanner.  And I do not need any knowledge (besides real basic)
of how trunked works.  I certainly do not need any proprietary information.

The technique is simple (for engineers and the gov't).

Say a trunked system has 16 possible carrier frequencies, and maybe a few hundred
or thousand radios.  Whatever.  You need 16 receivers and the DSP based signature
analyzer with 16 inputs.  Then you need a 16 x 16 audio matrix switch.

When a transmission occurs, the transmitter will have a characteristic "signature."
Now, the DSP seeks out this signature and "follows" it, controlling the matrix switch
to feed audio to output number 1.  The max number of concurrent conversations is
16.

It is helpful to buffer, digitally, the audio (via the DSPs, of course) so you can assure
uninterrupted audio during the time period it takes the sig analysis to locate the
proper channel.

Sorry, but this won't be effective.  First, the transmitter on the base
side will never change signature regardless of where the input comes
from.  Therefore, the only way this has any chance of working is to
listen to the mobile side of the conversations and that would mean a
relatively high, centrally located antenna(s).  In addition you would
need some significant processing power to collect enough information and
classify it fast enough to switch channels.  All this would cost a lot
lot more and work much less efficiently than some of the more direct
methods of following these systems...perhaps even less effective than
simple brute force of programming the radio over and over until you hit
it...for the money you would spend above you could buy and program enough
radios in about two weeks to hit it and, if you bought portables, you
would end up with a working scanner.

Which transmitters would you monitor for signatures?
The mobiles?  The bases?

It wouldn't make sense to monitor the base repeater outputs.

The mobiles are difficult to hear due to their locations,
low power, and low gain antenna (hence the need for a repeater).

Instead, are you suggesting monitoring the audio and comparing
some form of audio signatures?

Trust me. Reverse engineering is definately a no-no when it comes to
Motorola! You can bet your bootie that they'd come after you. Unless
you've just won the lotto and want to enhance your legal education thru
practical experience I'd pass on the idea. But that's just me...

Protection of their protocol has less to do with *how* you got their
proprietary information than it does with *what* you do with it after you
have it! The protection is for the protocol *itself*. You're analogy is like
saying that it'd be OK for you to market Coca-Cola under a different name
using the original formula if you just sat back in some room with a bunch
of flavors and figured out their formula. That's just not reality! Thou,
some argue that it should be...

Well, it'd certainly be interesting for the rest of us to observe thru
the commentary in the trade journals! You're biggest problem would be to
"prove" that you didn't have any access to proprietary information or
hardware during your project. You also hit the nail right on the head with
your comment about "If [you] can financially survive...".

: I picture the hypothetical situation where I could have designed

: did not own a trunked radio, or any moto s/w.

The problem is that unlike the *licensed* trunking algorithms and
hardware, Motorola maintains ownership of their system. It's proprietary.
Thus, it's protected and any reverse engineering with intent of
duplication or distribution makes you a target for extreme legal attack!

Furthermore, the Gass case has less to do with use of equipment than with
monitoring a data channel that, due to the intrepretation of one
particular court, is deemed as *encrypted* data - not intended for public
consumption. That makes it a prima facia violation of the ECPA.
Successfully presented, I might add...

The point is further driven home by Motorola's fanatical pursuit to keep the
software/hardware proprietary. However, *if* you succeed in building a
board, I'd certainly like to purchase one. I *don't* think I'll bother
sending in my "warranty registration card" thou! Wouldn't wanna be on any
list of purchasers in your "office" when the documents were seized! :)

  What difference does it make because the company is Motorola?  Intel
tried to stop reverse engineering and lost.

Yeah, but that was against a company that had considerably more money
than a scanner buff software company could come up with. What I'd like to
see is someone design a program for your computer (like Scancat) that you
could hook up and have control your scanner. Just release it on the
Internet to dozens of places like they did with PGP. It would be
impossible to control once it got to  the net.

Wow!  What a surprise to get on here and see someone looking for freqs
from my "hometown" (I graduated Apple Valley Class of '82)

Last I knew, Rosemount was using the Dakota County Sheriff frequency at
155.595, Apple Valley was 155.415, Burnsville was 155.565...or was that
155.655 and Eagan was 154.785.  This is from back when I lived there, so
these may have changed...but not bad for a guy that's been out of the
area for a long time, right?

Morse Code operators know that K means over.  When the transisition to
voice operations began many operators just used to say the letter K.
While most voice ops choose NOT to use Q signals and other CW
abbreviations on voice, in favor of plain language, a handful did survive
the mode change, e.g. QTH, QSY and QRT.  As a little kid, I can remember
hams calling CQ and ending their transmissions with " K, someone please"
routinely.

        Where can I find a frequency converter that takes incoming signals
(around 800-900 Mhz)and outputs the signals to around 400-500 Mhz. I'm guessing
that because of the new cellular listening laws they aren't made anymore.  Can
I find such a device in kit form or new?  I have a few scanners and all only
cover up to 512 Mhz, but I need 800Mhz coverage to monitor police comms. Any

Try November 1995 Popular Electronics Magazine.  Cover story article is about
an 800-900 Mhz block converter (to 400-500Mhz).  Also, a kit or finished item
is available form Ramsey Electronics   [phone].

Device is called the SCN-1.  Kit is $49.95, case is $14.95,  whole assembled
and tested unit is $89.95.

I don't have any connection with them.  I just happened to have the mag handy.

Also, I thought I saw a recent Grove Electronics ad that had one of these
gizmos in it.

Grove advertises the GRE Super Converter (they call it model CVR 3) for US$84.95 in
their latest catalogue.  Their order line is 800-438-8155.  They're also on the net
at www.grove.net.

Please get your 'facts' straight before posting.  It sells for $400 to
$425.  It has 400 channels.  It is not tuned to 'the licensed radio
range', mostly because there is no such thing.  What is the licensed
radio range that you refer to?

If the radios are Motorola, and channel 2 is 800 Mhz, rest assured that
channel 1 is also.  No dual bands, and certainly not in the Radius line.

23 or a Bearcat 860 XLT it would make my scanning a great deal more
interesting. I tried the mod listed on KC5KTO's radio page for the Pro
23 and it didn't work if anyone has any suggestions they would be
greatly appreciated.

While this story does sound kind of far off, I can believe it could happen.  Any
electronic device puts out some form of RF that can be detected with the right (or
in this case the not correct) equipment.  After all, there are units out there being
used by law enforcement that can detect the RF signal from an active radar detector
(not a jammer, but run of the mill detector).  The RF output is also one of the
reasons given as to why we can't play radios, TVs, and certain other electronic
devices on a commercial airliner.

It depends on how you choose to install it.  I chose to install it in
an external box, actually inside an AB switch box for DB9s.  The PRO
2006 plugs into A, and the PRO34 into B.  Inside the PRO 2006 you will
have to make several solder connections.  A buffer board should be
installed inside the 2006 if the CE-232 is external.  I used pin-line
connectors so I can remove the buffer board easily.

* The CE-232 comes with a built-in, easy-to-use text editor for
editing and reviewing your log and configuration files without ever
leaving the program! Also available are two user-definable "tool" menu
selections.  This means that you can specify up to two utilities of
your own to be used with the CE-232 program!

 One of the most used functions in mine is scripting. You can select
from a varity of avalable scripts or write your own.

 A simple script I use regularly starts and stops a tape recorder
whenever _specific_ channels are active. Record only selected channels
while scanning the full 400, or whatever you select.

 Monitor several repeater input channels and switch to the output
channel when a mobile is near your location. (great for high traffic
citywide channels)

 These are a few of the abilities of the '232, you Will find others...

There is one program currently available (that I know of), with another
coming out soon.  The one currently available is AR8000 ToolKit by Eddy
Gurney and can be found on his home page at
http://www.mich.com/~eddy/works.  It is shareware, but it can read and
write to an AR8K including modifications of bandplan and system data.  I
have it and it works great.

I've been using SoftPC on a Mac to run Scancat Gold. It's a bit slow, but
works exceedingly well for programming, changing the bandplan and so on.

Sign onto MIT's (Macintosh archive) site:

http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive.html

...and search for AR8000 Toolkit 1.0.1. Designed for the Macintosh, it
will control all features of the 8000, including restoration of blocked
cellular.

I'm thinking about getting an AR8000 scanner, but have been unable to find a
local source.  Can anyone recommend a good mail order source in the U.S.?

I've visited the Javiation Web page and they look like a good supplier, but
I'm concerned about potential problems importing the scanner to the U.S.  If
anyone has experience with this I'd like to hear from you.  Were there any
import taxes?  Any problems with customs?  Was the net cost comparable to
buying from a domestic source?

Things have settled down enough for me to return to the subject of
HTML and the WWW. CRL has under gone some changes also which has
resulted in the old URL
ftp://ftp.crl.com/users/ro/vhealey/www/ar8000.homepage.html
of no longer working for most people.

A pointer URL has been left at
ftp://ftp.crl.com/users/vh/vhealey/www/ar8000.homepage.html
to the new WWW server and its URL
http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/ar8000.homepage.html

What's new as of today?
Two pages have been enhanced for Windows 95/NT and the new Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 2. Beta three of that WWW viewer was
released yesterday by Microsoft and is available at their URL
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/getit.htm

MS Internet Explorer can take advantage of unique capabilities built
into the OS of W95 and NT 3.51 with the W95 alpha shell added.
Therefore I have elected to start using all of their advanced tricks
to make your web experience a more pleasant one. These tricks include
music, speech, scrolling marques, various unique backgrounds, movies
etc. Coming also will be advanced moving 3-d graphics as the page
loads. Some of these things work with other browsers like Netscape 2.0
and I am including defaults so they will work somewhat with older
browsers. MS IE is a lot easier to work with then the JAVA protocol
also now begging to appear and it accomplishes the same thing for
those that have it.

I am working on updating / correcting / or adding at least one page a
day. A trick you may take advantage of to quickly see if there has
been something new since you last dropped by is to enter the URL
http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/
This will produce a listing of file names under vhealey/ with a date
after it. I am going to use more descriptive file names on the WWW
server which will make it easier for you to guess the content of the
html file since W95 at last supports long file names.








Remember the AR8000 WWW site is principally for only one subject, the
AR8000 HiTec Radio Scanner. If you have anything to contribute or URLS
that point to additional information on this radio please reply to
Ki4je via e mailto:[e-mail]

Full credit always goes to the ordinal author of supporting details.

Please notify me if you find a page that isn't correct.

I have an AOR-8000 with a newly acquired computer interface. I now need to
pick up "the best" scanner software to use with the radio. I have seen
Scan-Cat Gold and liked the way you can build a file then scan from the
newly created disk file channels, and liked the delete key for locking out
the signals. I have also played with the demo copy of Scan-Star. Scan-Star
seems better in terms of the screen/graphic interface, but found it much
more difficult to use. Of course I did not spend more that 1/2  hour with
each of these programs. Which is better? I would appreciate any comments
from experienced users of these products.

Thanks in advance.

I think you should replace it with a antenna that is a little better
than the ones sold at radio shack.

I have an interesting piece of test equipment. It is a Nokia computer controlled
800 MHz signal follower. It is like a PI would use to track cell calls. The
whole thing fits in a shoe box and includes an HP 100Lx palmtop computer for
control, and a QRP FM broadcast transmitter for the audio section. It will
retransmit the received signal to any nearby FM broadcast radio (i.e. car, home
stereo ...)

I have these devices in the package, and state the price I paid:

CSI                             519.00
RFM-F and antenna                      495.00
RFM battery pack/charger         64.00
EZ track software                80.00
FM mini transmitter                    20.00
HP 100LX palmtop computer  750.00
(includes a 10M flash ROM       ------
 silicon hard drive)            1928.00

The interface I have is for the Icom R7100. I never used that part because I
purchased the RFM.

I will sell the entire package to the first person offering me 999.00 plus shipping.  Time stamp will validate your offer.

I have bought and sold many items via the Internet/CI$, and will offer references.

To all potential flamers: I DID NOT import OR manufacture this unit. I am aware of ECPA rules, and I will not debate certain assaults
on our liberties in this thread.

Oh, by-the-way, this unit works very well!  Demos available in SW FL.

I once saw some test data regarding the memmory effect (In QST or a similar
magazine);it seemes to be vastly overated.   : --
The test data supported the notion that the memmory effect is small to
nonexistent for almost every situation.  I don't remember the
particulars, however I was confident that the test was properly
conducted when I read the article.

Hope this helps....

Hi.  I was wondering if it is possible to replace the usual 3.6v cordless
phone battery with usual ni-cad AA or AAA batteries?  The reason I'm asking
is that most simple ni-cad rechargeable batteries do have "memory" effects,
where if you charge them before they're used up, you could reduce their
life cycles.  And cordless phones seem to be charging all the time when
you replace the headset back on the base unit.

Don't cordless phone batteries have this "memory" effects too or they are
special?

You can certainly wire up a "AA" pack if you wanted to. However size of the
battery compartment might be prohibitive. I don't think I would use AAA
because of short battery life. BTW I have been using nicads for years and
never noticed any real "memory" problems.

  How about a 9v ni-cad, series with a resistor, to bring it down to 3.6v?
  However, as with many cases, battery compartment wouldn't allow it to fit
  in nicely.  Unless, if you don't mind scoth-tape it just outside on the
  handset.

A friend of mine owns a Radio Shack dealer store and replaces a LOT of
cordless batteries, and there does seem to be evidence that the memory
effect works on these.  The ones that are left charging and only taken
off the base when in use seem to have a battery life of less than 24
months, while it's not unusual to find ones that were run down regularly
that lasted over four years.

BTW- all that's in a cordless pack is a few nicads wired together to
produce the desired voltage.

If your going to list scanners and the like for sale, list a phone number
and if not answer your mail. I have left 3 seperate inquires about
scanners to 3 different people, none of which have been answered.If your
serious about selling gear, make it easy for someone to get in touch with
you.People who check their mail once a week should not list items for
sale. By the time the mail is read, answered, the equipment packed, sent
through the mail and received it may be 2 weeks or more. So please, list
a phone number address or answer your mail.

If you are in need of frequencies for your area, i can probably find more
frequencies than you ever thought you'd need..everything from PD/FD to
the local dog catcher...

I need the following information (USA ONLY)
1) the city and state
2) coordinates if known
3) your mailing address

I write the results to disk and send the disk via postal mail...can't
do e-mail attatchments!!

If you guys want to spam all the rec radio amateur gorups I couldn't care less
but why the H*ll are these stupid ham debate posts spilling into the
shortwave, scanner and puzzles (among others) groups.  Watch the
reply lines guys.  One spam is bad enough but when you all reply to all
the groups it is just plain RUDE.

Leave the rest of us in peace -- and if your must spam, do it via e-mail

Lines: 22


I have noticed a few dj's in the clubs using wireless mics; also a few
clubs where staff members use two-way radios. Does anyone happen to
know any frequencies for Toronto or Niagara Falls clubs?  Let's exchange
frequencies.

Also, I would like to know which clubs you have been to where you have
noticed some obvious radio-activity, whether or not you have the actual
frequencies. I will attempt to hunt some of them down to exchange with
others.

So far I have seen wireless mic's in use at Million Dollar Saloon in
Mississauga and bouncers using what looks like uhf-band two-way radios
at the Sundowner in Niagara Falls. So there's some huntin' ground for
ya if you've got nothing to do some day!

The most common wireless mike freqs in the U.S. are
169.445 - 169.505 - 170.245 - 170.305 - 171.045 - 171.105 - 171.845 - 171.905

However I have seen certain entertainment system mikes that use all sorts of
different frequencies.

Also 455.575 and 455.550 I've seen used also

Hope this helps..

Geeze, I missed that part!  Well, anyone who currently owns a 2004

456 at the very minimum.  It's no secret the 2006 is a better receiver.
It also no secret that Tandy, Icom, AOR, Uniden, Standard and Yupituru now
have radios that will simply blow it out of the water.

Just like computers rapidly become out-dated so do scanning receivers.

     Nah...  Just that you have a big mouth that's all.

     Actually I think Bill is being pretty good about ignoring you and
that's why there hasn't been much from him.  As for the `rightness' or
`wrongness' part...  Since I haven't seen all that much from you
*except* for you your `blasts' at anything related to Bill I can't
tell either way.  On the character assasination...  I think *you* have
been doing *a lot more* of that than anyone else and it's high time
that you quit looking out of your navel thinking you are watching TV.

      Hmmmmm...  How many scanners *do* you have?  What makes *you*
the authority on whether or not a 2004 isn't a `good' radio?  (I've
got about 30 different scanners ranging from a pair of 2004s up
through a pair of 2006s along with most of the AOR line and 6 or 7
Regency/Bearcat/Unidens plus several other brands that you've probably
never heard of. {CHORTLE!} )  There are uses for just about *every*
scanner whether it's `bleeding edge' `state of the art' or a so called
`antique'.  (BTW, there are a couple of agencies out this way that the
*only* radios that can cope with their systems *are* the 2004s! {BSE
GRIN!}  The `newer?' radios can't get by their `anti-scan' features.)

     As `cute' as the above `argument' sounds what the heck does it
have to do with scanners?  Remember...  I said above that there are
uses for just about any scanner and a lot of them *don't* require
`bleeding edge' "Tech-no-golly" to accomplish.  (Lessee...  *I* use an
XT for my X10 controlled stuff, a 286 AT for handling a lot of my
scanner and SWL logging, a 386DX40 for my BBS, a 386DX40 for my
OptoScan, and a 486DX2/66 for my server for the LAN that ties
everything together.  Then there are the S-100 bus machines and some
of the other *real* `antiques' that are scattered around the farm
controlling various `processes'.)

>Now which system to you think has more future?  I thought so.

     Only if you like being on the `bleeding edge' all the time.
{CHORTLE!}

>The days of the PRO-2004,5,6 & HB-232 are going, going, gone.
>I know it, you know it and Butt Cheek knows it too.
                                              ^^^^^^^^
     There you go *again*!  *You* `complain' about character
assasination and then you go right ahead and do it yourself!  Talk
about being a hypocrite!  Why don't *you* quit and then just maybe you
won't get all the H&D that you apparently don't like?   (Besides...
Then there just might be a little more `info' and a lot less `BS'
floating around the `Nets' because of it. {GRIM GRIN!})

     Nah!  It'd take a lot more than the `stroke Andy club' to `blow
my mind!  Besides...  I seem to recall that you send most of your
`mail' to DEV=NUL so it must an awfully small collection/group.

Greetings,

I was passing time in the local Shack and happened across a PRO-49 scanner with
ten channel memory.  It has a standard keypad, but a single-digit display.  As
basic as it comes, I guess.

Anyway, I picked it up for _$40_.

Downside is, no box, no manual, no nothing.

It's a very basic handheld scanner, so maybe a bit beneath this group, but does
anyone have any info on this scanner, its operation, or such?  A copy or
transcription of the manual would be amazing, general tips still pretty good.
Is there an FAQ or site with RS info?

Thanks for helping out,

Joel

I have a 49.  Pretty staight forward.  Not much to it.  If you have any
particular questions from the manual I'm sure I could dig it up.   I've been
looking for some more detailed tech info for a while but never found much.

The 49 doesn't to Aircraft or Cellular but it's not bad.  I got a replacment
antenna that was about 4 inches longer then the stock model and it made a
huge difference in reception.

Hi!

I was able to repair my 20$ Uniden Bearcat 590 yesterday.  Now, I can't
figure out how to programme this thing properly.

Specifically, it has the CTCSS board installed and I have no idea how to
programme the tone frequency in.

Also, how do I take advantage of the search facilities?

Thank's!

Andy

One Icom IC-R1 Wideband Receiver
(100kHz to 1300mHz - *Continuous* Coverage)
Includes:
3 BP-84  (1000mHa batteries)
1 BC-72A (Drop-In Quick Charger)
1 CP-12  (12 volt auto cigarette lighter adapter/charger)
1 LC-61  (Carrying Case)

In a world filled with signals and sounds you need a communications
system you can rely on.  Now you can hear communications around the globe
with a tiny package that fits snugly in your pocket with Icom's IC-R1,
one of the smallest communications receivers ever produced.  This IC-R1
is excellent for covering 800 mHz+ with it's selectable channel steps,
multi-mode operation and sensitivity and continuous coverage.  This
system is new in the box and all items are in original packaging and
include all accessories and instructions.  This radio has 100 memory
channels, AM, Narrow-Band FM and Wide-Band FM modes, advanced scan
functions, a 24-hour clock & timer, etc... Please contact direct e-mail
with any questions or serious offers.  Asking $600.00 (Or Best Offer) and
will pay UPS insured shipping (CONUS Only) at this price.  This is a VERY
good price for this package, if anyone wishes to verify this call Grove
Enterprises at [phone] and inquire about pricing on the above
equipment (or call any Icom dealer).

FYI - I love this radio but have five scanners/receivers already and want
to find a good home for this radio so I can buy a dual-band
(144mHz/440mHz) handheld amateur transceiver...

The entire package is worth about $300.00. The Icom R1 suffers from severe
intermod and front end overload especially in urban RF environments. The
Icom R1 was severly overpriced by Icom. The only good characteristic of
this radio is it's concealable small size. The radio can easily fit in
your jacket pocket. would not recommend the R1 to be used as someones only
scanner. I would recommend it as a second scanner if concealibility is
needed.

Jim, despite your vigorous patrolling of the Net in search of prices that
you find objectionable, you are flat out wrong about what this package is
worth. I have been gathering pricing data for several months and this
scanner is regularly selling at an average of $400. With the added
accessories, $500 is not an unreasonable price to ask.

Your pricing is a reflection of your personal distate for this particular
Icom and utterly unfounded in reality. If your judgement is so clouded by
bias, then you're not doing anyone much good with your "analysis."

Mike - thanks for your comments.  I too am a little tired of the
broken record that replays every time somone posts an R1 for sale.

I personally don't care one whit whether the R-1 is any good or not. I
merely wish to point out that based on the asking and selling prices (I
followed up on a few sales), the market for a mint unit with box and
documentation is between $300 and $500. The average is about $400 to $425.
I hvae tracked the used asking/selling prices for this scanner as well as
dozens of others and have compiled the equivalent of a Blue Book. That
information will be readily available soon on a scanner web page--as soon
as I finish tabulating the information. To the gentlemen who pointed out
that the R-1 is worth $150 to $300, you are both wrong. I've done the
analysis while you've been sitting back talking about things you evidently
know absolutely nothing about. Case closed.

Jim,

Kiss off! I have had most of the current crop of scanners including
the MVT-7100, 2006, R-100 blah blah. What I have kept is a Pro-43
excellent programming for the USA and an R-1 because it is small enough
to carry. While the MVT-7100 performed well it was no better in normal
use than the Pro-43 if you are interested in the exotic ie. SSB or
70mHz the Yupi will do it but the damn thing is too big. The R-1
suffers from intermod when used improperly but if you use the supplied
antenna it works reasonably well. The red hot receiver is a real plus
for T-hunting and interference location but perhaps you don't have the
technical interest for those activities. Actually I suspect what you
want is to con some seller into a low ball price so you don't have to
pay what an R-1 is actually worth. How about giving it a rest for a
while.

   How about some context, & maybe some of us can make some educated guesses!


   "J" is probably a general mission, with the # being a specificity.

  "J" itself might mean jail, with 3 being adult male in custody, 5 being
drunk adult female in custody, etc.

In the Western Chi Suburbs there are 5 J-codes (J-1 through H-5), J
having no real meaning as far as juvenile or jail or anything like
that.  a J-3 is a male subject  a J-5 is a female subject.  The other
codes deal with property, papers, etc I don't exactly remember which.


Usage  10-25 123 Main Street speak with a J-3 reference a 10-50 pd

I suspect that you should save your time.

It took me a great deal of tooth pulling to get
my copy way back in 1984-ish. I have a gut feeling
that the USA distributor has long since vanished.
Good riddence, since they didn't seem too interested
in support of any kind.

Plus, I think the whole product line is a dog. The
only reason I use mine is because it is here and
it is almost adequate for monitoring a local repeater.
I don't have the heart to sell it to someone who
actually wants to use it as a scanner.

I do have all of the converters, if you want
to buy them off of me real cheap. I simply have
no use for them considering all the other equipment
I have to do the job these days.

I too have been following this thread until I could obtain some truth
about all this before saying anything.

The truth is LAPD is *NOT* switching to 800MHz.  LAFD is already on 800
and all other city related services (dog catcher, traffic lights, etc)
will switch to the Ericsson 800 MHz trunked system.

Regarding LAPD trunking UHF-T... that *might* happen, but it will not
happen on dispatch frequencies.  If it does happen, it will happen on
Tac/Citywide type channels that are not keyed down continuously like
dispatch usually is on Friday/Saturday night.

For those who care, here are some other misc ramblings :

- The important goal at the moment is to start using the new 48x/50x
  frequencies they were given a few years ago.  Right now they have *none*
  of the new ones tied into dispatch.  Only a couple are in use due to
  stand-alone repeaters they've put up to convince the FCC they are busy.
- In the interim, LAPD is building their own MODAT decoders in a attempt
  to start using these frequencies.  Motorola no longer supports or builds
  MODAT equipment.
- LAPD's goal is to have every officer with his/her own Rover.  Right now,
  the main attention is getting everyone a Astro.
- BTW, the only reason the new Astros even support MODAT is because LAPD
  insisted they (Motorola) put it in, otherwise the Astros would be useless.
- Old MX-350 Rovers are being permanently left in Convertacoms so the
  officers no longer need to remove their radios each time they enter/leave
  the car.
- After every officer has his/her own Astro, LAPD will attempt to switch
  from MODAT to MDC-1200
- When this occurs, it is unknown if LAPD will install Astro vehicle adapters
  or get mobile units that support MDC-1200.  Initially, officers thrashed
  the AVA's since they are not built as well as the Convertacoms.
- As the Digicom MDT-800s in the cars breakdown, they will be replaced with
  MDT-850 models that combine the RF module and Logic/Decode module in the
  same housing as the display/keyboard.  The protocol remains the same.
- If MDTs are upgraded, they are second in line compared to voice comms
  upgrades.  Although all calls go out on MDT, the possibility of losing
  the unused 48x/50x freqs back to the FCC is more important.

Regarding LA City Ericsson :
- The base equipment is in but the system is not fully debugged yet.  LA City
  has a contract with Ericsson to install the system and it is not fully
  operational at the moment.  A majority of the microwave, voters and
  transmitters are installed but only a dozen or so handhelds have been
  given out to test the system.

LAPD employs 125-140 techs scattered across the city working within each
division.  The techs stationed at each division are specialized in a what
they work on.  There are techs for Astros only, mobiles only, base only, etc.
These techs have nothing to do with LAFD or the Ericsson system.

In LAPD, each system related to dispatch is broken down into fairly small
groups.  There are groups that only deal with the CAD (Comp Aid Dispatch)
system.  Also there are separate groups for the hill top radio maintanence,
microwave links, and audio switching/routing/recording at dispatch center.

Unfortunately, all this means things move very slowly at LA City and ideas
are slow to implement.   However, you can be sure that the investment LAPD
has put into the Astros and the FCC licensing for the other 48x/50x freqs
means that it is very, very unlikely LAPD will be leaving UHF anytime soon.

 A few months ago the local L.A. news channels had varying stories
about the "LAPD going to a new digital system that can't be scanned by
high tech criminals, and that several officers will be able to talk at
the same time unlike the current system where everybody has to
stand by while one officer broadcasts from the field".   They also
reported that one (unknown) division is already on this new system and
the others will follow within the next several months"    so maybe
it will be a trunked system(?)     Not direct quotes but this is what
i gleaned from the various versions of the different stations reports.


  However, i'm not aware of any divisions that are no longer on the
old 506-507 frequencies, they all still to be active.   I'm worried
that i soon wont be able to scan at work in South Central (77th)
 i'd hate to not know just why that air unit is over our shop !!!

Does anyone have a listing of the Las Vegas PD 4XX Police codes.  Some
are easy to figure out by listening for awhile, others are more difficult
and not used much.  Yeah I know I could probably go buy a Rad Shack
Police Call and they're probably listed there, but most of their freqs
are for other states and I can't see buying one just for that (I have
most LV police and fire freqs already).  Thanks in advance.

I have a Bearcat 200XLT and previously owned a 100XLT.

Both models have a [LIGHT] button, but the light only
stays on for a few seconds. It would be nice if there
would be an option to override the timer...so the light
would stay on longer...say if you were powered from
the charger of a vehicle...and battery life was not an
issue.

Does anyone know of any way to do that? Perhaps an
undocumented feature? (I'm wishing for a lot, here, I
know, but it *would* be nice, wouldn't it?).

That depends on whether there was a court-ordered wire-tap authorization

Good point! We still have a system citizens can participate in,even if it

Our democracy today has a flabby ass and a major beer-gut.

(my apologies to readers in rec.radio.scanner; while
 this is not exactly scanner equipment, I have often
 found very informed and interested people there, and
 thought some of this may be of interest in that group)

I have several pieces of RF equipment that I
don't understand and have no use for.  If you
can make use of any of the following items, please
make me an offer.

1 Miteq Phase Lock Oscillator model PLO-681.4A-0-15PX17
1 Miteq Phase Lock Oscillator model PLO-283.83A-0-15PX13
  (There are some sheets of data about these PLO's, but
   I don't know enough to be able to interpret them.  The
   data sheets indicate that these have been factory repaired)

10 RLC Electronics small doohickeys.  The printing on them
   says 'MFR 12598  F-8665-1'.  A data sheet with them says
   stuff like 'passband 29.1-30.6 mHz'.  Are these passband
   filters?

1 KDI/Triangle Electronics Pin Diode Attenuator.  Data sheets
  with this say things like '5.0-15.0GHz  64db'  Factory repaired.

1 Abbott Technologies box (sensor unit?) model Z5B20
1 Abbott Technologies box (sensor unit?) model Z2BX1-20
  Factory repaired, still in factory repack (plastic on cardboard).
  These look the same except for the model number.

If you recognize any of these things, please send me a note; I
have no idea what they are for.  I got them as part of a lot in
a surplus sale... there were other things in the lot I understood,
but these are pretty much a mystery.

I'll be happy to try to answer any questions about these things
if you're interested in them.

Can a simple cordless phone be modified for added security?  How about
simple speech inversion, one that produces donald duck effects?

In the handset, there is this wire that connects to the antenna: can one
add some simple inversion circuit between this wire and the antenna?
But how about the base unit?

Just a quick thought... :)

It is much cheaper to buy a cordless phone with a speech inversion, rather
than to modify aphone, because a speech inversion unit costs around $80
from Ramsey Electronic plus combersum wiring it to the phone, while a
cordless phone with speech inversion is around $90 check with your
local Radio Shack.

Hi all. I just paid $750. for an as-new Saber III. Great! But, now I need
to know how to set the program options. Since I didn't get an owners manual
I have little idea what some of these icons in the display mean.

Is there an FAQ on the net for Sabers? I see alot of interest in them on
the Usenet. How do I set the program options to best effect? What works
well and what won't is what I'm asking. I do have access to a programer.


                      Advice? Pointers? Scanned in manual?



                                   M. Davies

  Ahhh... but does it come with spread spectrum?  If I'm not mistaken,
  it only has something like 1 million digital codes.  People can still

To be short the phone is a piece of shit.  Crappy audio and speech inversion.

Not a good combination for a cordless.

Buy a Tropez, buy anything spread spectrum/digital.

This is a board that operates with a suitable receiver and
computer, to identify a transmitter that is being used in an
un-identified manner.

By identifying transmitters that are known, this will show
the user which of these transmitters is being used without
proper proceedure.  Examples include fleet radio operators
who wish to identify abusers, Amateur Radio operators that
cause malicious interference and other survalence needs.

The unit can quite accurately id individual transmitters,
using the characteristic frequency instability of the first
few milliseconds of each transmission.  It is even possible
to exclude that transmitter from keying up repeaters if
desired.

A demonstration that I observed was very impressive.  Once
my personal transmitter was logged in, subsequent
transmissions were identified with my name and radio type!
It really works!  These guys really have it right!

features of such commercial packages as ScanStar Commercial, and
the AR8000 Toolkit for the Mac. I desperately need help! If anyone
would be interested in coauthoring this, or help to code, please mail

PD102 is a shareware program designed to decode POCSAG pager signals. I'm
able to get the registered program for you, if you want it.
PD has some design parameters that make it not really suitable for US use,
yet. It's being upgraded as we type. It's made by a person in the UK.
It will decode POCSAG only, and only at 512 or 1200 baud. No GOLAY,
nothing over 1200 baud. Here in Phoenix, that just doesn't cut it.
Message Tracker is a much better (and more expensive) alternative. It does
all the PD program does, plus GOLAY, and 2400 baud auto detection. The
drawback is the cost: I paid $180US for the middle version.
You can get more info on MT at:

Hope this helps.

If by "public domain" POCSAG decoder, you mean PD v.1.02, the PD stands
for "POCSAG Decoder", not public domain. It's Peter's shareware version of
the registered program.
The docs do say it works better with a discriminator output, too.
Message Tracker works with my PRO-43's headphone out very well, at a cost
($180US).

Could someone tell me what a POCSAG signal is composed of?
I am seeing a signal that I am unsure of, but suspect is
POCSAG.   It has a "run-in" of 1200 Hz, with data consisting
of one or more cycles of 1200/2400 Hz.

Ed..

Most radios that require 9 volts can even handle 12 continuous (at least that's
been my experience and won't actually recommend that to anyone)  The 9.6 volt
charger/adapter will work just fine.  I use one one several of my hand-held RS
scanners.

Does anyone know if there are any test modes for diagnostic modes for
the PRO-60?  I read a message earlier indicating that they do exist
for other models.  If anyone knows where I can get these, please email
or post it here for the rest of the newsgroup to see.

Thanks,

It is a good lo-band on up scanner, but an average HF radio. At
$650, buy it before I do. It goes for a grand new. The only
drawback is that it is not portable. It is best used with
a computer to drive it. It is very sensitive and at the same time
does not have intermod problems.

The software is available (scanstar, scancat, etc) and reasonably
priced.

If you don't want it, please tell me how to get it.

Hello,

I am also using the scanner. I agree with the following:

- computer interface is slow. I mostly miss that it is not possible to
  start the scanner (which is very fast) and then read back a used freq.

- on hf its useable, but large signals may interfere with lower. I mostly
  have to use the attenuator then. I have a modification inside which
  enables me to switch on a narrow AM filter, and thats really useful.

I verfied the sensitifity:

  * on 70cm (432 MHz) I compared it to my IC475 when doing EME
    (Earth-Moon-Earth) reception. It was a little bit worse, but
    signals copied with the ham radio transceiver were also readable.

  * on 23cm (1296MHz) I compared it to my Standard C-568 triband handy.
    RX sensitifity is equal or better, but the audio is really better
    as it has a larger loudspeaker.

much fun with the radio!

  The Radio Shack Frequency Counter has published freq ranges of 1mhz
to 1300mhz.

NOT TRUE!

I tested it with my TV News Microwave transmitter and guess what....

It read 2102.00mhz

That's the center freq for 2ghz microwave ch-7 (TV Live Trucks)

So it "reads much higher then the "published" specs!

Anybody know just how "high" it will go???

The counter is intended to be *attached* to the circuit being measured. If
you put an antenna on the input, you can pick up signels from a tranmitter
a few *inches* away, maybe a few feet if it's a powerful transmitter.
There is a device that will do what you want; it's called the Opto-Scout.
It has greater sensitivity, and therefore range, and is intended for just
the sort of signal-sniffing you're thinking of. I think it sells for
around $300.

Disclaimer: no connection with Opto-anything.

I've used my Radio Shack counter just like Chin-pan C Huang wants too.  It's
worked fine across 20 feet to pick up the freq. of security at stadium events.

No, it won't.
A frequency counter is what's called a 'near field' receiver. That means
it has to be real close to a transmitting antenna. How close? That depends
on how strong the signal is, but it's usually "real close". For a cordless
phone, for example, the two antennas have to be just about touching. For
that security guard, maybe a few feet, max. For an FM Broadcast antenna,
maybe a hundred yards.
They really aren't a 'magic wand' that will be like a scanner in reverse;
it simply will not tell you the frequency of a signal you want to hear,
unless it can pick that signal out from *all other signals* it hears.
Good luck.
Bill

Okay, I have had my counter for about 1 year now.  I use it with which ever
antenna is handy at the time.  The reception with a small -db gain antenna
isn't all to hot though (I usually just use my scanner rubber duckie).  I have
picked up freqs from 1 watt VHF transmitter at over 50 yards before with
little trouble, however you pratically have to have the counter inches from a
TX with very low power output.  ie: To get my cordless phone freq, I have to
have the antennas almost touching, and about 5 feet for my handheld cellular.
 There is a GREAT mod for this RF counter that was posted in the newsgroups a
few weeks back.  Its a hold button (allows you to -pause- the display).  I
don't recall who posted this mod.
        **** Basicly you just put a momentary or toggle switch in line between
jumper pad TP17 and ground with a 1K ohm resistor on one end.  TP17 is on the
display side of the ICU a few mm's from the lower right hand corner of the
CPU. ****
I did this mod and it works great.  However its not "my" mod, and I can't
recall who origanlly posted it.  But there it is, of course the standard
disclaimer goes with the mod (If you break something, its not my fault,
etc...)  Its a good little device for the $$$$

Most likely he transmitted directly to your handset rather than to your

  He used a modified cordless, or probably a 6-meter ham band transceiver
modified to transmit in the 40MHz spectrum.

   He transmitted on the 46MHz channel.  If he'd used the 49MHz one, both
you & the person you were speaking with would have heard him.

A similar incident happened to me, except none of the phones used were
cellular.  And they were speaking Korean.  We still don't know what
happened.

  And this is why you should NEVER talk about ANYTHING personal or
confidential on a cordless or cell phone.  I'm  pretty sure everyone who
reads this usenet group regularly already knows this, but it never hurts
to say it again.  There really are people out there who will run a scam on
you.  Never, ever, give out your credit card numbers, social security
number, when you will be on vacation/not at home, personal gossip, etc.,
over a phone that is not connected by wire.  Otherwise, you will end up
being discussed in another usenet group, probably starting with either
alt.sex or alt.stupid <g>.
  The 46 MHz cross talk was probably due to either some ham that was
either modified or running out of frequency, or using too much power and
bleeding through.  Either that or someone cruising around trying to find
your cordless to talk over and call Botswana or some other far off land,
on your phone bill.  And, yes, this does indeed still happen because
people are too stupid to shut off the cordless when they are not home.
  And, it is also still true that even paranoids have enemies <g>.

I am currently using 146.610 MHz in Northwestern Long Island
(Nassau County).  I'm getting pretty poor reception though...
Anyone have a stronger signal/closer frequency for me?  Bear in
mind, some Conn. frequencies may come booming in, as I am 2 miles
from the Long Island Sound.
Thanks,

That's correct for any Shuttle-MIR docking mission but the regular
SAREX downlink freq is 145.550 ... for NAm at least.

To avoid confusing some readers of this thread it should be pointed
out that Jeff's original question and your answer are about two
entirely different types of Space Shuttle communications.

His question concerned amateur band vhf/uhf repeaters in the Long
Island, NYC, CT area that retransmit the live NASA air-gnd voice
communications. This is a receive only operation as far as amateur
radio operators are concerned.

Your answer was about the SAREX program which provides earthbound hams
the opportunity to conduct two-way vhf contacts with  the shuttle.

Hello All!

Clueless scanner newbie is looking at possibly buying RS Pro-51 for my first
scanning toy. The local Radio Shack has them on sale now for $199.99.
Regularly they are apparently $300 +  Any advice, thoughts or comments on this
or any other handhelds in the $300.00 range is greatly appreciated in advance.
                                                                   Thanx!

The Pro-51 is well worth the $200 New. If you can find a unit date
coded 11A3 or 12A3 it's even better.

I checked this out yesterday: the date code is on a sticker on the back
about 1/3 of the way down the unit.  They apparently don't have any of the
modifiable ones out anymore, and if they did they wouldn't be allowed to
sell them.  However, at least at the rat shack that I went to dirty looks
are free.

I have a bit of a strange one...

1) Scanner is set to 158.775, which is the listed frequency for the target
2) All dispatcher communications are heard
3) Responses to dispatcher heard 75% of the time
4) Car to car on same freq only heard 10% of the time yet the signal strength
meter so the signal at a 7 on a scale of 1-8

Any ideas?

The scanner being used is a AOR3000

Not flame you but, next to scanning pagers and listening to NOAA weather
broadcasts I can't think of anything more boring in the relm of scanning!
Okay maybe monitoring garage door openers!  Might be interesting to use
one of those decoders on the more expensive pagers that actually provide
up to I think 8 lines of text.

Assuming you have not received a dozen replies, here goes:

A scout is a freq counter and more. It logs "hits" of RF, i.e. a signal
coherent enough to look like a transmitter was keyed. It logs the freq
and the number of times it occurred. I have the original version which
can be bought for much less than the current model. [I found it used on
this conference.] You can carry it in your pocket and IF YOU ARE NEAR
ENOUGH TO SOMEONE WITH A TRANSMITTER, it will record the frequency. It
has a vibrate mode to indicate that it logged a freq, or you can have it
beep.

It is a neat toy but way overkill for most people. Buy it used as most
owners get very little use out of it and it tends to gather dust. But
if the freq you want is not known, the scout is the best way to get it.

Just saw a review in this month's AOSC for this product.  Sounds
interesting since I live in a townhouse and cannot mount an outside
antenna...

Has anyone used one?  Comments?  What's the price? Is is available in the
US?

Anybody have any info or comments about uniden's sportcat?

Is there a list of mods for it somewhere? Can you somehow fix it
to get freqs lower then 29 mhz? ...can you get it to receive cell?
...can you increase the delay time from two seconds to 10 or so?

No Contest- The computer control of the AR-8000, plus teh extreme wide
band coverage, makes it a winner. The PRO is a good rig for the money,
but the AR8K is worth the extra $$

Sorry, you need far more information. For example, your knowledge of how
trunked systems work is apparently faulty.

A 5 channel trunked system will have 5 transmitters, each with a different
signature. The transmitter may change (or may not) with each transmission of
a particular talk group.  The only way to track the group is decode the
control information on the control channel.  If you can do this, then you
only need one scanner.

: The technique is simple (for engineers and the gov't).

Sure. They just use a receiver that can process the control channel
information.

Intel is/was involved in allowing other companies (AMD) to make the 386 or 486
or both,technology sharing agreements,all sorts of complex nonsense like that.
They don't even own the names "386" or "486" anymore which is why they didn't
name the pentium chip "586".
It sounds as if Moto was never involved in anything like that.

I just found out about the new Safety Alert(tm) transmitters. Does
anybody have their frequencies, range, and type of information (if any)
they broadcast? Seems like a great idea to monitor these frequencies in
a mobile scanner to warn of any impending trouble! Thanks.

if you can recommend a better antenna please let me know. I only want to
spend at most $50 for a mobile antenna. I have heard about antennas that
replace your existing AM/FM antenna and have connectors for AM/FM and BNC
for the scanner, if you have any information like performance and what

Definitely the Magnetic mount.  I've been using mine for over 10 years now and
even had to rebuild it when the coax broke out of it.   I also use a cellular
lookalike inductance (Mounted on glass) type of antenna hooked on the same coax
using a splitter to add the extra higher frequenciy coverage.

This is a common characteristic of the 2035.   These are images.  I
have found them on mine also.  There was an article in Monitoring
Times about this, it stated images of pagers  can also be heard
I forget the freq.

Images can be monitored also.
I believe that was his original point.

I have a Pro 2006 which I bought about 2 years ago.  Lately, I have noticed
that some of the public service frequencies I programmed into it almost never
getting locked onto by the scanner.  When it does detect activity on these
frequencies, the signal is pretty weak and there is more static than there had
been in the past.   These frequencies are being used, in terms of distance, at
pretty much the limit of what I would expect the scanner to pick up with the
antenna that came with the scanner.  But I believe I have really noticed a
drop off.  I purchased another antenna, at RS for $9.99, to replace the one
that came with the radio, and it did make some improvement, but not much.

My Pro 43 still picks up these same frequencies with little or no trouble.
The signal is much clearer.  The 43 is using an antenna similar to the one on
the 2006.

Is the 43 that much more sensitive than the 2006, or am I really noticing a
decline in the 2006's performance?  If so, is this drop off possibly
reparable?

By the way, for the frequencies in question, the Pro 43 manual says the
sensitivity is 1 uV.  The Pro 2006 manual says its sensitivity is 0.5 uV.  I
do not know how to interpret these figures.

I thank any respondents in advance.

Jim,

Have you checked the position of the attenuator switch on the rear panel?
If you have other people in your house, it can very easily get set to the
-10db position. My housekeeper has done this while dusting.

Years ago a 220 mhz repeater was geting interfered with and the owners
spent a lot of time tracking down the source of the FM broadcast band
music.  It turned out to be the second harmonic of the local oscillator
mixing with the IF frequency - the sum was on the repeater input.
The receiver was on teh roof of the elevator car in the same building
that the repeater was on the roof of.  The signal was strong enough
to cause interference only when when the elevator was at the penthouse
level. This floor was key access, and the elevator car might stay at
that level for anything from a few minutes to several hours.

The fix?  Twist the knob and get a different station (i.e. move the
local oscillator).

What you need is to find out what train and its number. There is a book
which I don't have at home which will give you most the on board freq. I
have found that most times the on board freq. is the same as the engineer
uses.

If you email me the train info I will try to remember to bring home the
book next wee if thats not to late.

If it is just scan the railroad freq. which are 160 to 162 range.

Listening to 123.025MHz (helicopter Unicom) tonight, I heard several
helicopters working the Sobek (missing model apparently found dead)
investigation site near Palmdale (CA).  What was amusing the exchange
between the (bored, I would say) pilots regarding a forced landing
site.  One says, to no one in particular, "you pick your forced landing
site yet?" and someone else responds, "yeah, I'm gonna head straight
for the emergency vehicles".  Other comments followed, like,
"I'd head straight for headlights and pray no one is standing there".

What was most amusing was the very calm way they all discussed
crashing.  It reminds me of the way I would discuss good ways to
crash when motorcycle racing...

P.S. Another funny exchange was:
[it is dark and the body site is in the mountains]
"I'm surprised I can see as well as I do", "You see that campfire
over there?" "Oh yeah, I'll bet he thought he would come out here
and get away from the city noise"  "Yeah, well, welcome to the city"

Also:
"Did anyone hear if the boyfriend was allowed to land?" "No, they
didn't want him to disturb the crime scene, they told him no".

I am a happy user of the AR8000 Toolkit (Worth the shareware fee).

There is another, less-polished way to program the AR8000. Assuming you
have the computer interface (such as a CU 8232), you can also just use a
terminal emulator and paste a "Squirt" script into the AR8000 to program
it.

There is information on Squirt Scripting at Victor G. Healey's (Ki4je,
[e-mail]) webb pages at:
http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/ar8000.homepage.html . The specific links of
interest are http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/squirt.html and
http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/ayotte.html .

Hope this info helps.

Hi,


    Thanks for taking the time to read this.  I'd like to get the
Baltimore PD freqs and maybe the Baltimore EMS freqs. ( Am I pushing
it now?).  I visit the Fells Point/ Inner Harbor area every two weeks
and I would like to do a  little monitoring.  Thank you.

I have found the Radio Shack publication Police Call to be very helpful.
It was well worth the $9.95.

The frequency to monitor for Fells Point is probably 453.7750 as this is
the frequency for the Southeastern district of the Baltimore City police
department. For downtown scanning, try 453.4250.

I've got 2 of them. One for each vehicle and love them.
Won't drive with out them.
But would like a couple of mods done to them.
Would like to eliminate the channel delay and also the default to
full loudness of the warning beep on power up.
Other that that i like it.

I am new to scanning and just purchased a RS Pro-51.  When I bought it the
salesperson told me that it was cell-blocked. A customer in the store at the
time overheard this, and as I was leaving, told me that his was supposedly
blocked also, but he was receiving what he was sure were cell phone calls
on his from time to time.  Well for the past two days now as I've been learning
how to use mine, I have scanned the 800-900mhz range and have found what
must be cell freqs. I know positively that several have been because I have
heard the caller(s) say things to the effect of "I'm turning on to I-85
now..." or I have heard someone reply affirmative after being asked if they
were on their cell phones. Has anyone else recvd cell freqs on a supposedly
blocked scanner? And if so, what is the explanation? Also, could someone tell
me exactly what imaging is, and if it relates to the above question. Thanx in
advance!

Most likely what you are pickig up are two way radios, some of them have phones built
into them but they dont use the cellular frequncy band. i have also picked these up on
my PRO 43 (post april 1994)...:(

I have an interesting piece of test equipment. It is a Nokia computer controlled
800 MHz signal follower. It is like a PI would use to track cell calls. The
whole thing fits in a shoe box and includes an HP 100Lx palmtop computer for
control, and a QRP FM broadcast transmitter for the audio section. It will
retransmit the received signal to any nearby FM broadcast radio (i.e. car, home
stereo ...)

I have these devices in the package, and state the price I paid:

CSI                             519.00
RFM-F and antenna                      495.00
RFM battery pack/charger         64.00
EZ track software                80.00
FM mini transmitter                    20.00
HP 100LX palmtop computer  750.00
(includes a 10M flash ROM       ------
 silicon hard drive)            1928.00

The interface I have is for the Icom R7100. I never used that part because I
purchased the RFM.

I will sell the entire package to the first person offering me 999.00 plus shipping.  Time stamp will validate your offer.

I have bought and sold many items via the Internet/CI$, and will offer references.

To all potential flamers: I DID NOT import OR manufacture this unit. I am aware of ECPA rules, and I will not debate certain assaults
on our liberties in this thread.

Oh, by-the-way, this unit works very well!  Demos available in SW FL.

  Has anyone used the Comet CH-32 Miracle Baby antenna on a scanner?  With a
0db gain my guess is its receive is nothing amazing, but does it work at
all?

  I wan't to be able to put my scanner in my pocket, and its a bit diffacult
with a 8" rubber duck.  With the 1 1/2" CH-32, it fits my need.  What I need
to know is, will it receive main utility transmissions?  Fire/Police, etc...

Thanks...

The Miracle Baby is quite good on UHF, but useless on VHF. The 3" rubberized

The price is way too high. That is more than PRO-2006s sell for.

And also tend to have the most problems of the PRO-200x line. They are
notorious for being riddled with cold solder joints.

I have begun to see more and more FM Reciever boards for the PC. It
comes with a nice GUI interface to look like a real stereo, and is
supposed to allow the computer recieve the full FM spectrum. This
brings up an interesting point....has anyone ever considered trying a
MOD to these things to increase it's freq range? I think it's an
interesting concept, but would take someone a whole lot more
knowledgeable in electronics than me.

of Amelia County and Chesterfield County Virginia ; also City of
Richmond, Virginia.  "Police Call" has them -though I would like to be

overwrite them in my BC 200xlt portable scanner;)

If anybody should happen to find them,
please send by "snail mail" to:

In the Western Chi Suburbs there are 5 J-codes (J-1 through H-5), J
having no real meaning as far as juvenile or jail or anything like
that.  a J-3 is a male subject  a J-5 is a female subject.  The other
codes deal with property, papers, etc I don't exactly remember which.


Usage  10-25 123 Main Street speak with a J-3 reference a 10-50 pd

English:  Report in person to 123 Main Street speak with a male
subject reference an accident property damage only.

J-3 is a male subject.  J-5 is a female subject.  The easy way to remember this
is that 5 and female both begin with the letter "f".

        I would like to hear from people who have used any of the
JPS Communications noise reduction devices with scanners.  I live
in New York City, where I use a scanner to receive transmissions in
the 25 to 50 MHZ range.  I have a dipole antenna on the roof of the
four-storey brownstone in which I live.  In addition, I have a
bandpass filter designed to block out all frequencies except for
those falling in the 25 to 50 MHZ range.

        Because of where I live, I experience a great deal of noise
in my reception.  I am thinking of purchasing a noice reduction
device from JPS Communications.  (They have a home page on the
WWW.)  If anyone has had any experience with using such devices
with scanners, I would appreciate a post to alt.radio.scanner or
rec.radio.scanner or e-mail to me directly.  I would like to know
what device you used and how effective it was.

        Thanks.  Richard Young, [e-mail].

L is a one-person unit.  The supervisors use unit numbers that are
multiples of ten and have call signs even when they're not mobile.
E.g., 8-L-10 is a supervisor, but 8-L-1 is just a one-person modile
unit.  Also I think the shift supervisors are sergeants not
lieutenants.

I am a full time college student who is an ambulance attendant in
Delaware and an EMT in Maryland.  I attend UDEL and an avid listener to
my scanner.  I am looking for other people who are avid listeners who are
somewhat nearby my location--Newark, Delaware.  I mainly listen to DSP
and local police/fire jurisdictions, but I am trying to listen to Cecil
County and Harford County, Maryland.

All replies are appreciated.

Tried to fit everything into the subject; I'm getting my wife a base
scanner, new, and I want to keep it under $250. After a quick look
that's most of the ones in the latest Radio Shack catalog and mabye
the Bearcat 890. Any recommendations out of those? Most of the ones on
the Radio Shack catalog seem to have very similar features.

Look right here on this newsgroup. Pro-2006's have sold for $250.00 on
this newsgroup. If you indicate that you are in the market for one, I am
sure that someone will reply that needs Christmas money. The 2006 is one
of the best base scanners ever made. New scanners in the under $250.00
price range cannot even compare to the 2006.

Best suggestion would be a copy of the FCC Frequency Retrieval System
from ScanWare Associates.. Check out their shareware version
FCC211.ZIP from most any large BBS in the country.

Try 128.800 for Logan Tower.  Norwood may be too far out to hear the
tower, but you should receive the aircraft.  I'm about 11 miles north of
Logan with no outside antenna, and I can just adequately hear the tower.

Hello all!  I have an RS PRO-35.  I know it isn't the best scanner but
it suits my needs.  I was just wondering if there were any mods to open
up some freq's.  Not really interested in the 800 mhz stuff, at least
not the cell stuff. But any others would be HIGHLY appreciated.

Thanks,

I have a Motorola Secure Clear, and I think it's a great phone. It should
be noted that the early production models, like the first 100,000 or so,
were re called for exactly the problem you described. It has now been
fixed. My phone sounds great, and has excelent range.

Hello -

I am in the process of writing a full-featured program (in Visual
Basic 4.0) to control the AR8000. It will have all of the "best "
features of such commercial packages as ScanStar Commercial, and
the AR8000 Toolkit for the Mac. I desperately need help! If anyone
would be interested in coauthoring this, or help to code, please mail
me. I think this could be a great program, but it needs some more
experienced programmers.

Hey folks, these laws changed about 2-3 years ago under the
Florio administration.  It is now legal to  have a scanner
in your car even if you are not a police officer, fire fighter
or rescue squad member.  The only prohibition is that you may
not have one for use in committing a crime.

I'd run upstairs now and get the quote of the law, but the kids
are asleep, and I'm on call tonight.  If you get Scanner Master
for NY Metro, they have a copy of the law just inside the cover.

You can get a copy of a really good listing of frequencies from

  Hello...

I've been trying to receive audio from the NOAA satellites lately, but
have not had much luck.  I'm using a traking program to listen at the
right times, and have the software to decode wefax signals but have failed
to hear anything on the freq's used by NOAA 11/12.  Do I need a yagi antenna
to hear them?  What mode do the satellites Tx in?

Any help anyone could provide me with would be appreciated...

Thanks...

Hi Chris:

This is from some info I have from NOAA

try 137.50 and 137.62 MHz   Mode: semi wide band FM
antenna to use: crossed dipole with reflector, or steerable yagi array.

I have received WEFAX on SW via NAVY retransmission of satellite pics.
Takes about 20 minutes to receive a hi-res picture.

I thought picking up WEFAX directly from geosynchronous satellites
24,000 miles up required a good sized dish that received in the
gigahertz region.

I'm aware there are LEO low earth orbit satellites, but thought
those whiz by in 3-5 minutes, hardly enough time for a WEFAX.

Someone clarify.

Hi Todd,

I have the combo with the reaction tune plug fitted on the AR and it all
works just great.  Best investment I have made.  Great for driving allong
listening to your favourite frequencies and as soon as the Scout sniffs
out some strong RF you hear it, then when the signal is gone just press
LOCAL & SEARCH, SCAN or VFO and you are back to your favourite
frequencies.

I also purchased the Opto N100 FM filter which really improves the Scout
reception.

Have fun,

George

As an old "Cake Eater" I was pleased to see your post.  The
Primary frequency for Mt. Lebo, Dormont and Castle Shannon is
460.100.  I'm into EMS in NJ, and when I visited Pgh last, I
stopped at the EMS "South" just off of Castle Shannon Blvd,
they seem to be dispatched on the police frequency.

Stop at Radio Shack and see what they have loaded in their
scanners?

Good luck

No, the St. John's Police do NOT operate on the 800Mhz band.  They operate
around the 153-155mhz range.

The fire departments operate betweeh 153-169mhz, city council is here and
at ~451, buses are here and ~1161Mhz,...  The list goes on and on.

In fact, the ONLY thing listed as operating in the 800Mhz range is
cellular (no big surprise to anyone reading r.a.s), at 870.030 to 880.000
(Cantel Cellular Phones) and 880.000 to 889.980 (Newtel Cellular Phones).

Why not skip insulting our intelligence and just ask "Hi, I want to listen
in on cellular calls, can I do it with a PRO-51" like the rest of us do.

See <http://www.compusult.nf.ca/~rjg/top100.txt> for complete St John's
(New Brunswick, Canada, where I assume you live given the proximity of
news.unb.ca which your post passed through) scanner frequencies.

P.S. You can modify the 11A3, 12A3, and 7A4 models of the PRO-51 through a
software hack.  Visit
<http://rever.nmsu.edu/~weasel/scanner/mods/pro51cell.mod> for info on how
to do it.

Yes, the Saint John police are on a Motorola Trunk system in the mid
800Mhz range.

I recently purchased a RS Pro-39 scanner used.  I have since become quite
addicted with the scanning hobby.  However, I have searched a few of the FTP
and WWW sites for information and mods for this scanner and have found few.
Does anybody else out there own this same model?  Any information about
increasing coverage and other enhancements would be appreciated.  Also, any
details about what each of the diodes in this particular model does would be
welcome.

Thanks in advance

Hi Don,
I can't speak for anywhere else in Canada, but here on the Ontario
South
Division of CPRS all our road channels are simplex, and the MOW
utility
channel repeaters are carrier-access. I think some of the intermodal
facility channels in the non-railway bands are PLed, but I'm fairly
certain
that anything on any of the 97 AAR channels on CP is non-PL.

I have a complete frequency list from the radio shop somewhere in my
junk
pile, and I'll write back if I find anything difinitive.
Take care,

Best Regards,
Peter

  And this is why you should NEVER talk about ANYTHING personal or
confidential on a cordless or cell phone.  I'm  pretty sure everyone who
reads this usenet group regularly already knows this, but it never hurts
to say it again.  There really are people out there who will run a scam on
you.  Never, ever, give out your credit card numbers, social security
number, when you will be on vacation/not at home, personal gossip, etc.,
over a phone that is not connected by wire.  Otherwise, you will end up
being discussed in another usenet group, probably starting with either
alt.sex or alt.stupid <g>.
  The 46 MHz cross talk was probably due to either some ham that was
either modified or running out of frequency, or using too much power and
bleeding through.  Either that or someone cruising around trying to find
your cordless to talk over and call Botswana or some other far off land,
on your phone bill.  And, yes, this does indeed still happen because
people are too stupid to shut off the cordless when they are not home.
  And, it is also still true that even paranoids have enemies <g>.

I'll drink to that.

I heard a story of someone who was watching TV and heard the most
shocking things on their Fisher Price baby's room monitor.  The sound of
breaking glass, two male voices, some thumping sounds and a baby crying!
In total panic the parent ran to the room to find a quietly sleeping baby.

I suspect somebody with a 49Mhz walkie-talkie and a tape recording was
having a little fun.  Either that or someone had a radio tuned up on
49Mhz.

The range of those room monitors is quite something.  I can hear one in
my neighborhood and one day decided to DF it. (okay, I was bored I admit
it).  Anyway, I ended up driving to the far south end of my neighborhood
before I found it.  I was quite amazed!  I'm sure the owners would be
even more amazed if they knew I could hear everything that went on there
24 hours a day.  This was nearly a mile away!

In fact, they are so damn strong that they make the 49Mhz walkie-talkies
quite useless in the city.

Cheers!

Andy

Almost have a year know and I still do not know the difference between

REC and ALT.raido.scanner.   What news group do most people use and
why is the same messages on both sometimes?

REC.radio.scanner in Toronto, ont. seems to have more messages.

Not flame you but, next to scanning pagers and listening to NOAA weather

Okay maybe monitoring garage door openers!  Might be interesting to use
one of those decoders on the more expensive pagers that actually provide
up to I think 8 lines of text.

I have a pretty extensive list.  Let me know which format you want and I'll e-mail

neither of these suit you, I can probably can convert the file to something else.

Howdy folks, I wonder if anyone can help out a poor scanner buff. I can't
afford to buy an expensive "ten hour" tape recorder. Most anyone have
instructions for modifying an existing recorder so it will run for ten
hours? If it's already out there someplace can you point me to an FTP site

You can buy a new Bearcat 3000xlt for $369.95 from EEB in Vienna Va. The
3000xlt is an excellent top of the line receiver. Why would anyone want to
pay $350.00 for a 2500xlt? The 2500xlt does not perform as well as the
3000xlt.

Such a board would have to take over from the scanner's cpu. It would
be expensive, and possibly difficult to accomplish. I doubt if you will
see any such item that is reasonable in price - but I may be wrong.

Never will see a real market release of anything except LTR trunking.

Motorola and GE would have the device marketers and developers in court
faster than the BC9000 scan speed.

Brian, sorry to say, but all scanners made today in the USA for the general public
have the cellular freqs blocked.

For what it's worth, so I have been told, the cell deal ain't that good anyway.  That's
what I have been told...

I am considering purchasing a Uniden Bearcat SC150 "SportCat".

the description I have seen is:

100-channel (10 banks)
12 band
800MHz

It looks to be an ok scanner that is in my price range ($200 or less)
it is a handheld scanner.

If anyone out there has seen/used/played with this scanner and would
be kind enough to either post info here or mail it to me, I would be
greatful.

What I want to know:

does it have acceptable reception?
does it have any noticable problems?
is it cellular modifiable if someone were to desire it?


Any other info appreciated as well.

thankx,

Andrew Albinger

anybody have their frequencies, range, and type of information (if any)
they broadcast? Seems like a great idea to monitor these frequencies in
a mobile scanner to warn of any impending trouble! Thanks.

hi there   pity your not near this neck of the world . N.Ireland
 no mods  needed just a new antenna  ?? that converts cellular down to
130 -160mhz  the normal price is around 50 stg  but it does mean that
the older non-cellular scanner can now pick up all  without mods
works well one shop was selling them with  a cheap 15stg ($10 or less)
multi band radio and  it even worked with that  if you want more info
i'll get it for you ..mailme                    john IS the inquiziter

Check the Grove catalog: http://catmac.grove.net/CGI.SPG?Product=CVR+3

GRE Super Converter
-------------------
Looking for the best way to get uninterrupted 800-1000 MHz coverage on your
desktop scanner? Whether your scanner doesn't have that range now, or is one
of the models with certain 800 MHz frequencies factory- censored, these
high-sensitivity converters from GRE will fill in the gap! Simply install a
nine-volt battery (not supplied); BNC connectors are provided to interconnect
with your scanner. Use an 800 Mhz-capable external antenna or attach a whip
adjusted to about 4" or 12" (for gain) like the Grove ANT 19 or ANT 8. When
you tune 410-512 MHz on your scanner, you will be receiving 800- 1000 MHz!
A handy bypass switch allows you to restore normal operation of your scanner
without having to remove the converter.

    I heard somebody mention that this device runs for around $450.
    When in reality the sale price was $79.99 and the original price
    was $99.99,I hope this clarifies things for some people.

When batteries get low, it will occasionally go into a mode, where
instead of the FM band covering 88-108Mhz, It'll go down to 76Mhz,
and have a TV band, with channels 1-12.
The 76Mhz figure seems real, as I do get images of stations at
20.8Mhz + set freq or so.
I'm in the UK, any ideas on where these freqs are meant for?
The device in question is the Awia hs-TX446

Couldn't seem to find a more appropriate group.
Obscanner: Yes, it does pick up taxi firms at the lower end of that band.

It is perhaps not coincidental that the Japanese FM band starts at
76MHz (and ends at 90MHz). Presumeably under the duress of low battery
power it reverts to its true self...

Bernie

PS. Some Japanese radios like the Sony '2010 have an FM band from
76-108MHz (even when the batteries are fresh).

 This explains why the stock am-fm in my 1990 Isuzu Trooper reverts to
76-90mhz in 1khz steps and am in 9khz steps when the battery dies!

Motorola has a press release on their web page WWW.MOT.COM in regards to
the olympics.  It seems that they will be supplying Digital Trunk radios
and FLEX Two-way message pagers.  I don't thing they can be monitored.

A recent thread about the -10db attenuator switch on the 2006 brought to
mind a chronic 2006 problem dealing with pager intermod on the VHF
hi-band.

This has been a continuing problem on my rig, as it apparently has been
for others judging from messages about the problem from time to time.

I've tried different antennas, shielding, etc., but the only solution that
has worked somewhat is signal attenuation. I've found that -10db is too
much for simplex comms like VHF-marine band, and a -3db to -6db in-line
attenuator seems to cut the intermod down while not knocking down signal
strength too much.

Anyone else have any other solutions?

Jim Wayda correctly identified the problem as did another person who sent me
e-mail on this matter.  I have moved my set around a bit and probably moved
the switch without realizing it.  I have now tested both settings, the 0db one
and the 10db one.  The latter setting seriously reduces the set's ability to
pick up weaker signals.

I thank all of you who took the time to reply.

Wow!  2 miles?  I haven't heard anyone report they got anywhere near
that kind range out of a 900 MHz cordless.  I've got the Tropez and
I've got the base in a 2nd story (top floor) apartment.  It's a fairly
densly populated area with plenty of powerlines and such nearby, and
so my phone starts cutting out at about 150 yards or so, depending on
which direction I go.  I suppose the farthest I ever was able to get
and still complete a call without lots of cut-outs wasn't too much
further than that.  I don't doubt that you'd get better range in a
less electro-magnetically "noisy" clear area, but I *really* doubt 2
miles--let alone 1 mile!

Okay, survey time.  Let's hear from 900 MHz phone owners out there:

1 What kind of phone (make & model)?
2 Describe base & phone environment?
3 Maximum comfortably-useable range?


I'll go first:

1 What kind of phone (make & model)?    Tropez 900DX
2 Describe base & phone environment?    2nd/top floor apartment
3 Maximum comfortably-useable range?    ~150 yards (varies by direction)

Cuts out at about 300 ft with someone else's condo in the way.  Would

I guess it would help if you actually read what you were quoting. He said,

Greetings,

I have an AOR AR-2500.  It's about 3 years old or so.  It has developed a
problem which will only get worse.  I'm running it off of a Hewlett-Packard
power supply (quite accurate and stable - 6236B Triple Output for the hardware
nuts in the audience!).

Problem is, lately, the 2500 has to be run not on 13.8 or 12VDC or anything
close to that, but it won't come alive until I lower the juice to 11 V, then
10.5, then 10, now I'm down to 8 which seems to be NEAR the minimal border of
coming up in the first place. Now, anything over 8 - 8.5VDC causes the unit to
either "pop" the speaker and not scan or just kill the scanner (as if turned
off).  Obviously a power / reg type prob.  It won't run mobile AT ALL!

I have excellent soldering skills, etc; but it's been a LONG time since I had
to troubleshoot to component level.  Any clues?  Is this a common prob for
this model?

All help, hints and kinks appreciated.  Please e-mail "[e-mail]".
I sub to this group but only read it about every 2 weeks or so!

Also: Anyone know of any Mac software that works with this beast?  I'm
pondering doing my own, but would rather see what's already available.

Thanks,


--Pete

In a nutshell, I'm buying a scanner, and my decision has come down
to a choice between the AOR AR-8000 and the Yupiteru MVT-7200.  I'm
looking for suggestions on which to buy.

My immediate uses would probably be both normal scanning (police,
fire, phones, etc.) and shortwave listening.  This would be my one
and only scanner/receiver.  Because of this, the widest covereage
possible and the widest variety of reception modes is essential.
Also, good handling of the incredibly crowded SW bands would be
nice.

An external baseband signal output would be nice, so that I could
hook up decoders/detectors for other modes (DX FM stereo/TV?  SSTV?
RTTY?  ACARS?  I know some of these can be decoded through the audio
out, but I doubt the first two can).  It seems the Icom 7100 has
something like this, but it also costs $$$, and doesn't tune down into
the SW bands.

A computer interface would be nice (is there one on the MVT-7200?),
but it's hardly crucial as I don't have a computer at this time
(just sold my Power Mac 7100/80, as I never used it).

I actually don't need the portability of a handheld, but for some
reason there are no base/mobiles with the same features at the
same price range.  I'd love an AR-3000A or AR-5000, but that's
pushing my budget.

I'm not sure I need the Scout compatibility of the AR-8000 either,
but if I come into some money in the future (yeah right) I may
have a use for it.  Goes along with the "one and only scanner"
bit--I want to have all the features I'll probably ever reasonably
want.

I'm also interested in the other generic mundane details--selectivity,
intermod handling, shielding, etc.  I have all the specs per the
company printed out, but I'd like a real evaluation by someone who
has used and compared these two models.

Please, if you have any suggestions/opinions at all, post them here
or mail them to me.

Thanks.

Based on what I have read, unless you really value the computer interface and the
alphanumneric display of the AR8000 (which the 7200 has neither), you should get
the 7200 because of its superior RF performance.  As you may know the 7200 is in
short supply and we can probably expect an updated model from Yupi sometime
next year.

The "print" on early keypads wore off with some users. This did not seem
to occur with everybody. I'm sure different users had perhaps a higher
"skin ruffness" than others that didn't help. AOR appear to now use a
alternative "ink" as the problem is not (and hasn't been for some time)
on current AR8000's.

Nope.  Although based upon the same basic design as the 200/205XLT, the 100XLT
doesn't have the circuitry to support 800 Mhz operation.  While it's
theoretically possible to order the repair parts from Uniden, the installation
and setup would pretty much require a full set of RF mantenance equipment and
more time than it's worth.

Bottom line- if you really want 800 MhZ operation in this model of scanner,
sell it and look for a used or referbished 200/205XLT.

The only mods for the 100XLT I'm aware of are the low-battery detect removal,
the military air addition (tough - requires a switch be added), and the
enhancement to the memory to add 100 more channels (semi-tough - requires
surface mout devices desoldering and soldering - _NOT_ for the novice).

Later...

The 46x frequencies sound like the ones that Security would use.  154.54 is
more of an IB frequency which they probably use for miscellaneous use--
a license for those radios bought at GI Joes or CostCo....

Well, actually, I've found them since then, and 154.540 is just
maintenance, janitors, and that sort of thing. I don't have my scanner or
a list of the correct freqs with me, but they were posted a while ago.

James,

What you are hearing is common for some of the RS models.  You are
listening to an image of the true freq.  Some scanners will still pick
up the freq and you can listen (usually to one side) of the
conversation.  The Dec '95 Monitoring times has an OK article on cell.

Also, the PRO-51 has limited capability when it comes to cell freqs.
No mods but it can be done from the keypad.

Hello All,

I remember reading some time ago about using parts from a junked out
cellular phone transceiver to build a "cellular bandpass filter" Has
anyone constructed such a unit? If so, please mail me information on
how you did it, what parts are needed, etc.

Larry

Anybody have ideas on how to better receive the mobile units of the C.H.P?

They are spread around 42 Mhz and I only seem to have a 5 mile range
max!
I am using a PRO-43 hooked to a 3ft Firestick scanner ant.

The base Freq come in as far if not further than I need.
I am in the Orange/LA county area.

Thanx

You'd be better off by placing a receive preamp at the point where
the coax connects to the antenna. That way you are not increasing the
noise floor of your coax and just making the poor reception you have
now louder.

You can find mast mounted preamps at ham swapmeets and for sale in
magazines like PopComm. You can also get them in kit form.
Sorry - don't have any brand names to suggest.

Is anyone here familiar with an electronic device called a code grabber.
It supposedly will pickup and display code signals from remote control
devices such as those used on garage door openers. Any info will be
appreciated.

There was a news story on Channel 5 Chicago Il. in which they purchased a
"code grabber" from a source they did not mention. In the story they were
in a shopping parking lot and as people exited from their vehicles and
used the keychain remote they would grab the code. They looked like they
were probably 15-30 feet away and grabbed the code. They then went up to
the person and showed them that they could open their door. They also did
it with garage door openers. The article suggested that people purchase
systems that automatically change the code every time it is used.

Hey there.

        My ol' Uniden is getting kind of drab. Is there any way that I could
spruce it up by adding new frequency capabilities? Also, is the
configuration of the board similar to the BC220XLT? I have a conversion
for that model.

Thanks In Advance.

Hi   yes most of your replies  have got something right  about
replacing batts  you can  replace with plain old ni-cads  AA or AAA
but a point to watch if you solder  them there little'ums be careful
of the heat  it is  not uncommon for them to  explode ????
 re the 9v no,  there is no milli amps worth playing with
The memory effect  does take place  which normaly restricts the batt
life to about   2 yrs.   Most c/phones  get very little TX use  thus
never get drained . it is a good idea to leave the  phone switched on
(talk) over the weekend  to allow the batts to go completly flat
every couple of months  or so  BUT  REMEMBER
 1---- unplug the phone  ---------  line engaged ???
 2---- its transmitting ---------  WHO's tuned in on a scanner ?

there is one other way to  get  6 -12 months out of the old batts   if
ya wana know email me... no-fee  I'm free  and i'm not selling an'ting

Be aware that disc cone antennas are omni directional.  Your transmitted
power will be spread out over 360 degree circle.  A directional antenna,
even a simple dipole, will give you 3 dB gain in the broad-side
direction, equal to doubling your transmitter power.  Sorry to bother you
if you already knew this.

Here's what you do:

Extend each of the legs pointing down to at least 105".  Increase the
diameter of the "disc" prongs to 74" and it'll work just fine.  The new
band of frequencies will be approx. 27Mhz - 250Mhz.

DOOM is a violent, personal combat oriented, fabulously fun video game,
popular with the 10-30 year old crowd.  You may have heard of it.
Anyway, in the game there are 55gal. drums scattered around each level
and when shot they blow up really good.  Anyone standing near an
exploding drum gets transformed to a pink bloody pulp that pretty much
looks like Spam canned meat.  So if you wait around and do this to
someone intentionally you've "spammed" them.  Very desirable in personal
combat.  Not desirable on the net.

Spreading messages needs to be more precise since the objective is
communication and not mass bloodshed.

This is patently untrue, provably so, and serves no other benefit but to

The fact that you would feel the need to make long distance calls and
misrepresent yourself for the purpose of garnering smear-campaign
mis-information speaks considerably more for you than it does for me.

But the worst part is that your true colors are showing, Blake.  My
company has 13 employees (five of which report to me)  There is no
personnel department and although we do have two excellent shippers -
neither of which is me.  Our engineering department is only two people
and, you guessed it, I'm one of them.  Last year we created seven new
product lines, expanded our manufacturing facilities 20% and opened a
satellite office in the UK yet we still had profits of over 40million
dollars.  We are currently working on our most ambitious and technical
project and forecast recouping all R&D expenditures in our first year of
production.

What did you do?

This is one of the nicer things about a public forum like the Internet -
it's harder than normal for some sleazeball to get away with selling a
piece of junk to some clueless newbie.  (I'm not suggesting that you're a
sleazeball, that the R1 is a piece of junk, or that anyone on this group
may be clueless.  Just depicting a scenario.)

On newsgroups where I feel comfortable with the subject, I'll offer my
opinions on items for sale for the benefeit of whoever might be
considering them.  If I feel that a price is fair or a product is good,
I'll say so.  If I feel otherwise, I'll say so.  And I appreciate getting
information from other people on the Net concerning something that I'm
considering purchasing, especially if it's the opinion of someone other
than the seller.

Jim isn't just offering a tight, unsubstantiated opinion of "This product
sucks".  He's backing his opinion up with his experiences with this unit,
and as a seller interested in selling this item you can either:

* accept his criticisms and attempt to explain why they don't matter
* ignore the message altogether and hope your customer doesn't read it
* refute his criticisms by explaining why they are incorrect or flawed

Someone argued that the Net is a marketplace that should be ruled by
supply and demand.  The laws of supply and demand, however, assume that
the buyers have all information possible and can make the most informed
decisions.  I appreciate the efforts of people like Jim Wayda to keep the
net honest and the marketplace running smoothly and fairly.

Radio Shack sells a pair of extra long rabbit ears (~3ft. ears) on a
mounting stub. Buy a pair, clip off leads close to where ears meet,
cobble up a BNC connector. Attach directly to handheld or use BNC coax.

Extend rabbit ears and make length resonate at 43/46 mhz.
482/46=10.48' or half that 10.48/2 = 5.24 or 2.6' per ear.
482/43=11.21' or half that 11.21/2 = 5.60 or 2.8' per ear.
Ears MUST be extended in straight line with each other.

This works really well at pulling in signals. You can rotate and tilt
to select a particular conversation on the same frequency.
You can determine direction. When end of antenna is pointing at
source the conversation will completely disappear (nulled).
(can be confusing if you have reflected signals as well)

What was a staticy buzz turns into two distint clear conversations.

I use the RS centerload and, you're right, it is good. I've had great
success with a homemade dipole. Take about 20-30 feet of coax, strip
the outer insulation from one end for about 10' 4-1/2"  (approx. 1/2
wave length of 47.5 MHz). Pull the inner conductor out of the outer
conductor through a hole you make where the outer insulation starts so
you have a half wavelength of inner conductor and a half wavelength of
outer conductor. Spread them out in your room and hook the other end
up to your scanner. I call it my cordless sponge.

I use the RS whip antenna for $10 for portable, a Scanner Beam from Grove for
long haul/directional use and a Datong 370 active dipole for general use in my
apartment to null out noise. They all work well for the cordless range with
the Scanner Beam and Datong 370 giving the best signal to noise ratio,
obviously at a higher price. Scanner Beam = $65 and Datong = $160.

Proper alignment of the scanner..
Order the Service Manual 20-145/9145 from RS. It tells you how to align
the scanner and follow it STEP BY STEP.. Omit NOTHING and use only the tools
described...

That will make sure the RADIO is in top form.

However, in scanning Height of antenna is EVERYTHING! True, some db gain is
great, but db gain of a signal not seen is still dead air...

The most immediate frequencies (CEP 1/CEP 2 MWARA) are 2869, 3413, 5547,
5574, 8843, 11282, 13261, 17904. There are many others... I suggest

It is unlikely that general purpose lithium-ion batteries or chargers will
ever exist as over-the-counter consumer products.

The circuit requirements for safe charging and discharging preclude such
applications. Their best use is in "smart" battery packs, having integral
electronics, for components designed to be used with them.

Recent catastrophic events at Apple, and at the Sony LiIon manufacturing
plant, only underscore how dangerous these things can be,

Does anyone know the Lowjak/Ets freq's? From the looks of the antennas
on the police cars, it looks in the range of 180 Mhz.
Thanks.

 I have tuned my 6 meter rig to those freqs. I use a Ham Stick 6 meter
antenna. I have confirmed (on a great day)  reception of a base unit that
was over two miles away.
 Perhaps using equiptment designed for 6 meters would be helpful. I
haven't tryed it myself. I have switched to a spread spectrum cordless. I
can use it 1/4 mile away from my home when I walk the dogs and it only has
a 4 inch antenna on the base. I do not need to go an further than that.

 Happy experimenting,
 Ron

Yha...  Next to the window works very well.  Taking one apart and doing
some work on the TX finals works well too.  Not too well on the handset.

Good luck...

Well as Ronald Ray-gun used to say, "There you go again." Yes, I'm sure
that once in a blue moon, someone will sell a PRO2006 at $250. However,
the range for a mint condition PRO2006 has been $275 to $450 for the past
several months. The average appears to be about $325. Those figures are
based on a careful monitoring of asking/selling prices with some follow up
to the participants in the sale.

Jim, if you're going to tell people what things are worth, why not base
them on facts rather than some vague notion of what you think things
oughta cost? As far as I'm concerned, you're off the case.

Four of these for $4.99 is a STEAL!  I've used Milleniums extensively in
my scanners, handheld ham radios, Walkmans, etc.  You can't beat 'em for
capacity.  Where are they selling them?  I'd like to pick up some extras.

Sadly, they are being discontinued because they are TOO good!  Milleniums
were being manufactured by a small company (Gates) in Gainesville,
Florida. Eveready bought 'em out earlier this year...so apparently, they
were making their product a little too well!

How does one modify a simple, cheap, 49Mhz cordless phone to have a range
up to a mile?  To my knowledge, it is not really the antenna alone that
can affect the range, but the output power in watts? 1 watt is approx.
1 mile range?  So this requires one to add some amplifier/power booster
or something between the circuit and the antenna?  Hmmm... cheap idea.

Also, what about FCC regulations, if the range goes beyond 2 miles?
That should beat cellular.

First problem is using 49 MHz for anything "long range" - you will
be competing for the channels with all of the other 49 MHz devices,
including phones between/around your handset and base.  I have
trouble having either my handset or base upstairs where I live.
Getting the extra height brings in interference from everyone else
in town.  If you add power (which you can't legally do), you
would have to do it on the handset AND base - then you become a
bigger source of interference for everyone else.

Then there is the FCC.  Cordless phones are part 15 devices.  You
cannot modify them in any way to change their performance.  No
external antennas on the roof of your house, no extra amps, etc.
About the only thing you can legally do to a cordless phone is
replace/change the antenna with another that is provided by the
manufacturer.  This is why you don't see BNCs or other common
antenna connectors on phones - they are not allowed to make it
easy for a user to modify the antenna system under a part 15 type
acceptance.

My suggestion would be to forget spending the time and money trying
to illegally modify a 49 MHz phone - replace it with a 900 MHz
SS unit.  You would not get 2 mile range but it will be dramatically
increased over what you have know.

How would one slightly change the frequency of the phone? Put it
in between channels. Use a high quality phone to avoid splatter.

How the heck would they know if that antenna on your roof is for
your scanner or cordless phone?

Anyway, I'm in a country not governed by the FCC, so it doesn't
really matter. But is it really worth it to modify the base but not
the handset?

How would I build a good 49MHz antenna for my phone base? Right now
I'm using a 143cm piece of stripped coax with a piece of metal connected
to the shielding.

I would, but the cheapest one here costs something like $1,200
for the basic analog Panasonic flip-phone, which is one of the two
900MHz phones available here. The other is Samsung, which looks a lot
like the multiple-handset Bel-Tronics I've seen in ads. :(

Wondering if anyone has a conversion from the 2A PL to the 110.9? I
need to program a radio for someone, and all they have are the 2A PL.
Please reply via e-mail to [e-mail], since I check e-mail

I had such a good response to my AR8000 & Mac posting, I thought I would
see if anyone has ever been able to program the MR8100 with a Mac.

I tried SoftPC and the software included with the scanner with no luck.

Any help is appreciated!!!!!

No listing in Haruteq for Ft Erie...but for Niagara Falls, 5-0 Taxi is listed as 150.500 callsign VCR69..
you may want to check out www.interlog.com/~ronkatz for more stuff...look under Niagara Region.

In New Jersey, yes.  However, it's a crime to possess or use a scanner during
the commission of a crime.  Due to the definition of "scanning device", radar
detectors are specifically excluded and are completely legal even if you are
speeding.

If you are speaking of New Jersey, those are the provisions under the old law.
 A new law was passed in 1991 or 1992.

Hi Charles:

The format is somewhat different.

I've never translated out a picture from the birds, so this is from
what I've read...

The picture is a continous strip, running east-west at 120 lines/min
Each line covers a couple of miles (I think). The signal has two
side-by-side images, with the inage type selected by time of day.

I thought GOES stuff was all sent in HRPT format which is much more of a
challenge to demod/decode/display than WEFAX.  I think it could be done
fairly easily with some of the newer DSP chips or a high performance MPU
if you wanted to design the hardware yourself.  A PC would be better.

If you want an excellent introduction to this subject, check out the
"Weather Satellite Experimenter's Handbook" by Ralph Taggart.  It's sold
by the ARRL and is the definitive work on WEFAX hacking.  The book has an
excellent tutorial on WEFAX and walks you through design of a receiver system
using early-1980's vintage microprocessor technology.  You could do the same
design now with a PIC microprocessor.

Enjoy!

Yes and no.  There are multiple transmissions available from the satellites.  NOAA
polar-orbiters have HRPT transmissions in the S-band, and APT in the 137 MHz
range.  Most entry-level WX chasers start with the APT transmissions due to
the relative ease of decoding (convert the audio tone amplitude-modulated
transmission to light/dark FAX display).  HRPT is more complex to decode.

The GOES satellites (geostationary) transmit both WEFAX on the S-band
using the AM method, and a higher-res' transmission which most WX
satellite chasers don't deal with--I think it's encrypted.  I personally chased
the NOAA APT images, then started working on the GOES S-band APT
downlinks before I had to give up this hobby.

Yes, this is an excellent book.  If you're interested in constructing antennas
for this hobby (a good way to save money and learn in the process!), the
ARRL antenna books are also good sources of information.

An article (from that same issue of MT, I believe) mentioned
that the Scout 40 uses a different prescaler chip, which allows
it to lock on much more quickly, but has an upper limit of only
half the old Scout model.  If anyone is interested in the exact
text, e-mail me and I'll go look it up...

 Is this a code that is entered at the keypad? Is it the same for all of the
Pro-2035's? Or is it different on each unit? Also, isnt it legal for educational
use to have equipment capable of receiving the cellular bands?

<an aside, I sure wish Opto made an rs-232 interface for the Pro-2030!>

Anyone selling their Pro-2006? ;-)

I know this is in the wrong group, sorta, but if anybody could point me in the
right direction.

I am creating a 2 station internal phone system.  I have a 12-volt bias on the
line.  Everything works fine.

ONE CATCH: When phone A is picked up, I want phone B to ring.  When phone B is
picked up, I want phone A to ring.  Not continuosly, but 1 ring of 4 seconds
(standard) would suffice.  This should be automatic, i.e. no buttons to push,
as I have a cordless phone as one of the ends.


I am looking for either a manufacturer or schematics.

Thanks

I thought vol II and Ultimate Scanner both had all the good mods for the
2006...
Tons of things...

Improved Headphone, faster scan rate, cell unblock, S meters Decoders etc etc
etc...

Pro-43's are constantly selling for $200 - $250 on this newsgroup. $300 is
a little high.

Yes, it is in Bill Cheek's second scanner modification handbook. It is NOT
a trivial task. Unless you are good at soldering, and modifying cases for
switches etc, forget it.

Cheek 3 has the surface mount version of the mod and you're quite right about
the skill set required.  However, the keyboard block memory controller (KBMC)
detailed in Cheek's vol 2 works quite well with both the 2005 and 2006 and
doesn't mar the case.  It uses a two key sequence to switch the banks.  if you
use one channel to denote the bank selected, you don't even need an external
indicator.  Over Christmas, I've got two to do.

For those that want to try it, I picked up a few of the MOSEL memory chips
required for the surface mount version and have several left over.  $3.25 each
plus $1 shipping for up to three.  I'll even throw in some fine guage solder
for use with it.

BTW, the slickest desoldering aid I've seen for surface mount homebrewers is
the low temperature (200 degrees) solder specifically designed for those of us
that do onsey and twosey repairs.  Solder it to all pads and the chip just
about jumps of the PC board without any trace damage.  NEAT!!!  If I remember
correctly, MCM has it for $15 with enough to do a dozen or so of the 28 pad
memory chips used in this mod.

Later...

It IS somewhat easier now, since he found a surface mount chip to use.
It's still no piece of cake. I have the parts to do it, but can't bring
myself to tear into it.

Also, these mods will still allow you to scan 400 channels at a time.

I did this mod to my 2005 when Bill Cheek's first modification book came out.  His
second book had some enhancements on how to select the 16 different blocks of
400 channels via the keypad instead of dip switches (like I did).

Although I don't think I have ever had more than about 2500 channels programmed
at any one time, it is great for putting in mass FBI, DEA, and Mil Air entries.

You need to be comfortable with soldering surface mount components if you are
going to do this.

If you do this mod, I would suggest using a 16 position rotary BCD switch.
Much nicer than dip switches and it mounts in a dip socket. I moved the 9V
battery inside and mounted the switch in the battery compartment. The
switch, part # RDIP-4, is $1 each or 10 for $9 (minimum order $10) from

I orderd one three weeks ago and received it no problemo... If you
really want it, get on the phone to Radio Shack National Hq in Ft
Worth and request the manual from them. Explain that you HAVE a 2006,
there is NO documentation on MODS in the manual, and you have a RIGHT
to order the service manual. It is currenly part # 20-145/9145 printed
1990 revised 1992 with an addendum for the 2006-A where the only
difference is the light switch shuts off the display instead of just
dimming it.  If that doesn't work, call the store and ask for the name
of the district manager, and let them know you are hot... They will
get it for you, believe me...

Hello all, thanks for your time. Recently got a PRO-51and
a PRO-2026. I've been studying the 2026 to see how they may have

If anyone has any info on these radios please e-mail or

Rat Shack has come out with two scanners recently: the PRO-62 and PRO-26.
Both have triple-conversion and 200 channels, but the 26 goes up higher
(1.3Ghz).  Is there any other difference between the two to justify the
additional $120 or so that the 26 costs?  Is there really anything of
interest happening that far up on the spectrum?

I have a Pro-62, and I like the scanner but you can't do any mods to it.
Rad Shack has been in contact with the FCC, and they've been told to make
their scanners "more mod proof".

Several police depts are going to 800mhz, so if your interested in that,
you might spend the extra cash.

Good luck, Dan

Pro-39 can also be cellular restored (most of them) but will not recieve

The Pro-39's that can be restored were made prior to May of '94. There is
a date code on the back. You will need to remove diode D6.

As far as the Pro-43's go, the model #'s 20-300 can be restored, the model
#'s 20-300A cannot be restored. Again, look on the back.

Your mileage may vary.

The vast majority of railroad radio communications is in "carrier squelch"
meaning that no PL/CTCSS/CG tones are used.  In the Chicago Area, the BRC,
CSSB, and Amtrak all use PL for 1 reason or another.  Conrail uses PL
tones for it's HotBox detectors.  One PL is used for no alarm, and a
different PL is used for an alarm.

In my travels across Canada, I have never noted CP, CN, BCR, ACR, ON, BCH,
VIA, Cartier, or GO to use PL tones.

Whether or not the cell freqs. can be restored depends a whole lot on when
the unit was manufactured. If it was buily after May of 94, forget it.

If it was built prior to May of 94, then you are in luck! It's an easy
mod. All ya gotta do is open it up and cut jumper L201.

Or you can just buy a new scanner that is already modified (that's right)!
Just point your Web Browser at <http://durhamnet.com/durham/>.

These folks are located in Canada and they have all sorts of radio gear
for sale. They also have their own service department. I just ordered a
brand new, in the box, PRO-2006 from them and they even do the cellular
mods for no extra charge!

I don't work for them, I'm just a satisfied customer.

Believe it or not, this is true!  The Florida law refers to scanners that
are "permanently mounted" in a vehicle...so, your handheld is legal!
Another interesting loophole is that the law only makes it illegal to
have the scanner tuned to "authorized public service frequencies"...so,
if your local police department is on 155.690 and you're listening to
them on 155.685, it's legal!

Just another example of the government passing ridiculous, worthless,
unenforceable legislation.

Just checked my Florida Statutes book and scanners that are able to receive
police transmissions are illegal in the state unless you are a member of
the police dept, fire dept, neighborhood crime watch or a licensed amateur
radio opperator. The section is chapter 843, section 843.16. Hope this helps.

Hi. I'm in the market for a radio which will allow me to:

1) Listen to space shuttle / mission control voice transmissions (I'm
near Livermore, California... over a small mountain from the SF bay
area).

2) Pick up emergency information after a natural disaster (an
earthquake, in my case).

Would a scanner or shortwave receiver be the best solution for me? Any
suggestions about what I should look for will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

pass on most of your questions but it must be able to  do cell as the
versions  here in the UK  come with  freq up to 956.00
yet i have never seen a BC going below 29 ??
last piont most of the UK BC come with not 29 -56 but 66-88 mhz
so there is probably a mod to reinstate that band ??

Someone recently had a question on the net about frequncies in
Sydney and Perth. This reply was inadvertantly sent to me and the
sender asked me to post it to the net, so here it is.


Subject: NSW state police freq's

these are some of the Sydney Police channels

A dist channel 23 is 468.400 "city" inputs are 9.5 lower
b dist is outside of sydney & can't be heard .
c dist channel 78 is 468.525 or 468.950 "eastern surburbs"
the reason for 2 or more channels is NSW police use a very good voting
system
with philips fm-91 series mobiles in their cars .
d dist channel 79 468.450 , 468.200 & 468.925 "north sydney"
e dist channel 80 468.725 , 467.900 , 469.300 , 468.075 & 467.950
"chatswood & h
ornsby"
f dist channel 37 468.750 "inner west" Balmain & newtown"
g dist channel 81 468.700 & 468.000 "bankstown"
h dist channel 83 468.425 , 469.275 468.675 "parramatta" lots of action!!
i dist channel 84 468.375 , 468.550 & 469.075 "liverpool" lots of action
again
these are the metro area freqs

if you are say listening to channel "c" postion 78 IE:468.525
you may get a better signal from 468.95 so shop around!!

car to car channel is called "26" 468.475 or channel "38" 468.775
I have lots of Federal Police channels & DEA working channels
as well.

Mike

I used to live in Sydney for 10 years .

If you hear short burst of about 2k tone they mean this

1 tone : memo for all cars
2 tones: hold up alarm or serious crime
3 tones: Officer needs urgent help (the last time I heard this
was when a cop got shot & killed , so if you hear it roll tape)

good listening & tell me what you the upon your return

Mr.Captain, Scanner Price Police......

Second, I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I'll sell
a scanner for what it is worth and for what I can get
for it  I'm not a store.  This is also a hobby for me.

It seems like your hobby is policing others.
What you said adds nothing it just may upset someone.
I can understand though that some people have nothing better
then to worry about what others do.

Your message could have been worded differently. Maybe next
time you may choose to add something instead of taking away
from the fun of using the internet.

The only thing I'm sorry for is spending this time to reply to
you instead of doing other things.

That SC150 is amazing in the VHF low area.   A friend of mine bought one
but latter returned it for lack of certain features he wanted (signal
strength meter, ease of freq entry...)   .
That sc150 heard vhf low signals without an antenna that my IC-R1 was
hard pressed to get better with an antenna.

The best you can do in a 43-49 Mhz phone is "scrambled" which means that
they do a frequency inversion on the signal.  It is not decipherable by
the casual listener, but it doesn't take a huge amount of electronics to
descramble it.  The best consumer level secure phones will run over $200
and use spread spectrum technology in the 900 Mhz band.  These are not
readily descrambled with a simple circuit.

They have a real nice CD ROM that covers everything except
the fed gov freqs.
They also have the data in a state by state 1.44M floppy.
They have a web site and a toll free number.  I don't have either
handy, if you can not find them just drop me an email and
I will send them to you.
Bob Grove is the publisher of Monitoring Times. And I am sure he
has the web address and 800 number in there.

The 3000xlt is an excellent scanner. Bob Parnass did a review of the
3000xlt in Monitoring Times. If you are interested, you can contact MT for
a copy of the article. The 3000xlt is about $370 - $399.

Yes i'd agree the mag mount but remember  the frequ you listern to
most and get it trimmed  for optomi  unless you just want  an all
rounder .   theres more out there than  RS ( Tandy here in the UK)
so have a good hunt round the mags  MT etc

I'm looking at a JC Penney catalog and in them are Bearcat
Models 80XLT, 220 XLT and 890 XLT scanners that are touted as
having "800 MHz coverage".  What is the exact range of "800 MHz coverage"
that they're referring to?  I thought cell phone scanners were
legislated out of business.

What sort of modifications can be done to a 950XLT?  Besides the usual
cell modifications, can it be modified to get 230.00-396.00?  If it can be
done , I need a source in the Tri-valley area, Ca.

        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.

if you want long range in cordless, use a 6m amplifer and 6m ant. on a
mast/tower.

As I remember from the last time that I wrote about the PSP, which was a
while ago, they use a two channel simplex system without repeater.
Somewhere, I have a list of frequencies that they use, and I think it
pairs the base and mobile channels. Reception of the mobile channels
will require a good antenna system, unless the mobile is relatively
close to your locations. Let me know if you are interested, and I will
try to find the information.

Some months ago there was a lot of hype about the dangers of using
cell phones, concerns that they caused brain cancer. The hype has
died down but it started me thinking. If a hand held cell phone
with .3 watts (I think) of power is cause for concern what about 900 mhz
cordless phones?

How much power do the 900 mhz cordless phones put out? It seems that if there
is any legit reason for concern  it would be tied to duration and frequency of
use and I would think more people would spend more time on 900 mhz cordless
than on cell phones?

I have two questions concerning the new 9000xlt:

    Does it have a true weather alert that is triggered in emergency
situations?

    Does it have an aux on/off switching jack to control an external tape
recorder like the 8500xlt had?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm desperatley looking for a scanner producer that builds scanners with the
following characteristics:

Consequently the scanner has to be dimensionally very small.
Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Yes, it's true. If you are really interested in knowing the codes buy
the POLICE CALL from RS.

    With all the sad stories about people getting ripped off or buying
broken garbage through the newsgroups, it sure is nice to have something
good to say about a business out there.

    I just ordered and received my long wanted Pro-2006, and guess what,
it's brand new *in the box* and came with a one year warranty! Top this
off with a price of just around $310 with the *cellular mods already done*
and I think I got one _helluva_ good deal.

    If you are interested in getting the same deal, point your Web Client
at Durham Radio Sales and Service <http://durhamnet.com/durham/>. These
folks are located in Canada so they are immune to FCC regulations (well,
to some extent - put the flame throwers away).

    They have all sorts of radio and scanner gear for sale as well as
their own service and parts departments. They have all sorts of daily
specials and really go out of their way to please.

    You can still get a cellular capable Pro-43 from them. I recommend
that if a cellular capable scanner is what you are looking to buy, you get
in touch with them quickly. They are bound to run out fairly soon.

A satisfied customer with no other interest in this company,
John

I would always operate under the assumption that there is a threat of
interception. However, the reality is that it doesn't appear to happen, at
least not often enough that it has become a topic of discussion. I bought
my AOR from Javiation and received it without incident. You should be
aware, however, that you will likely have to pay customs of $35-$45 on the
unit, which the UPS person will collect at your door.

Does anyone know which ranger district a CDF (California Department of
Forestry) unit numbered 6672 would belong to, and were approximately its
response area would be?  I heard that unit (obviously CDF based on the
terminology they were using) on 154.400 MHz (which I beleive is the
repeater INPUT frequeny).  I know this sounds crazy, but this isn't the
first time this has happened.  I heard another 66xx unit calling "Central"
a few months ago on the same frequency.

If anyone knows where this unit might be located, please let me know.
They must be on a REALLY high mountain for me to be able to hear them all
the way in Phoenix, AZ!

I am selling an AOR model AR1000XLT handheld scanning receiver.
This unit is great! It has 1000 channels, 10 scan banks,
and covers 500Khz thru 1300 Mhz with *no gaps*. AM, FM, WideFM all
covered.

This unit is in perfect working order. (The paint has rubbed off along
the case edges revealing a smooth black plastic case.) The clear
protective plastic coating is still over the keypad and LCD crystal, so
no scratches are there.

This unit runs on standard AA batteries, or rechargable AA and has a
built-in recharger.

This is a very sensitive unit with super sudio, and a great squelch
circuit.

I am selling the scanner and its antenna for $285 shipped via 2-day
priority mail anywhere in the lower 48 states.

I use the 3300 and am quite happy with it. One thing though, I always
get stray readings on the 250MHz scale. I tried tuning my scanner to
one of those freqs, but I got nothing. Intermod?
The HOLD feature is indispensable. The radio shack counter doesn't have
it, but there's a mod for it lying around.
