Does anyone have a copy of the software needed to program the motorola
Ht-1000 radio.  Also I need the cable to interface the radio to the
computer. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks, Dave

  INTRODUCTION

  This is a list of FCC license data sources available to scanner hobbyists.
  The FCC master contains a wealth of data about every non-government license
  in the United States (over three million records).  Most of the sources
  listed contain a subset of this data, although a few contain all or nearly
  all of it.  Government licenses are not administered by the FCC, and the
  data is not available to the public.

  If you are interested in purchasing FCC data, you might want to consider
  forming a co-op of people in your area to share the cost.  As far as I can
  tell, this is legal since the information is in the public domain.
  However, the software supplied to view or manipulate the data is usually
  copyrighted and must be purchased separately by each user.

  Prices are rounded to the nearest dollar and include shipping, if known.


  C.E.T.

  CET sells records of all stations inside a 30-mile radius for $80.  (Major
  cities cost extra.)  A 70-mile search costs $178.  The data is provided on
  floppy disks and is available in ASCII columnar and comma-delimited
  formats.

  CET does not provide data for licenses that do not contain specific
  geographic coordinates (i.e., mobile-only systems) or specific operating
  frequencies (e.g., amateur radio).

  To do the search, CET requires the latitude and longitude of the center of
  the 30-mile radius.  I calculated mine from a USGS topographic map I
  obtained at a local nautical supply store.  Alternatively, you can obtain
  the coordinates for your town from the University of Michigan's geographic
  name server.  Run "telnet 141.212.99.9 3000" and enter your zip code.  For
  my area, the server returned the coordinates of the main post office.

  CET can be reached at 800-445-0297.


  GROVE

  Grove sells FCC data on CD-ROM and floppy.  The CD-ROM covers the entire US
  and is available with or without mapping support.  The mapping version
  brings up a map with the requested station plotted on it.  The regular
| version is $104, and the mapping version is $174.

| Floppies are available by state for $44 per state (add $10 for CA, FL,
  TX).  The disk comes with a database search program.  Grove Enterprises can
  be reached at 800-438-8155 (voice) or http://www.grove.net/ (WWW).


  MICROFICHE

  The Bearcat Radio Club sells the FCC master by state for $15.  Bearcat
  Radio Club can be reached at P.O. Box 291918, Kettering OH, 45429.


  PERCON

  PerCon sells FCC data on CD-ROM.  The Spectrum CD covers the entire US and
  comes with a simple database search program.  The US Index CD also covers
  the entire US but comes with a more powerful database manager.  Regional
  CDs cover subsets of the US but provide more detail about each license.
  Finally, the mother of all databases is the seven-CD Frequency Set, with
  data organized by frequency.

  Spectrum costs $37, the US Index is $87, regional CDs are $107 each ($465
  for the complete five-disc set), and the Frequency Set is $1515.  Data is
  updated quarterly (the latest data is from Nov 94).  PerCon can be reached
  at 716-386-6015 (voice), 716-386-6013 (fax), [e-mail] (email), or
  http://www.bluemarble.net/~percon/ (WWW).


  POLICE CALL

  This is probably the most cost-effective source of public service license
  information.  The detail is limited, but the information that is there is
  often more useful than the FCC master.  For example, an entry in Police
  Call that reads, "Portland Police, Net 3, North Precinct," reads,
  "Portland, City of" in the master.

  Police call is available in 9 volumes covering different regions of the
  US.  It can be purchased at Radio Shack stores for $10 per volume.


  RADIOMAP SERVICE

  Developed by long-time Usenet contributor Bob Parnass, this service
  provides a custom report of frequencies, callsigns, and licensee names for
  a specified area in any of the 50 states.  Coverage areas of 4 to 256
  square miles will be chosen by Bob depending on transmitter site density.
  The report includes a color plot with transmitter sites marked.

  To create the report, Bob requires the latitude and longitude (or nearest
  street intersection) of the center location.  Reports are $26 each.  Write
  to Bob Parnass at 2350 Douglas Rd, Oswego, IL, 60543, or call him at
  708-554-3839 between 6-10 PM central time.


  SCANWARE ASSOCIATES

  ScanWare Associates sells a PC-based database program called the FCC

I hope you don't prosecute me for the above quote ;-).

I must've missed the Moss diatribes along the way. I scan about 25 newsgroups
(only 4 for SW and scanners) and glean data such as frequencies, etc., from
them. Keeping up with so many newsgroups makes it impossible to follow the
flame wars. I don't really care about the flame wars, yet I understand why
they occur.

I only wanted to add my 2-cents here:  I have modified RS Pro-34 and 2006
scanners using Bill's instructions from the internet and in Monitoring Times
magazine. These mods have enhanced my enjoyment of the hobby and improved the
performance of my machines. He obviously knows a lot more than I do and his
instructions worked perfectly.

I owe Bill a thank you for helping me do this.

I have purchased an old crystal controlled scanner manufactured in the
early seventies by Ultralec in Knoxville, Tenn. It is called the Ultra
308. It is a tri-band 8 channel scanner. It is a mobile arrangement
with pushbuttons for power, priority, scan, and pulse controls and,
characteristic of scanners from this era, has 8 LEDs across the face
which light in succession as the radio scans the installed
frequencies. A pushbutton below each LED controls whether a channel is
scanned or skipped. An interesting feature is that there is a slide
switch on the back panel that enables/disables the delay function.

If you have a schematic or user's manual for this OR know a company
that might still handle their literature please email me directly.

I also purchased a Midland 13-925 Dual-Band VHF/FM Monitor
(scanner). Also crystal controlled and manufactured in 1972. Likewise,
if you have info on this radio, or know Midland's address and/or phone
number please email directly.

Thanks,

The only way I can think of to scan digital cell phones is to use an
actual digital cell phone and hack it.

As for Digital itself it is not doing well at all here in Oregon. Sound
quality sucks (at best), it drops in the middle of calls, etc. On the
plus side, if you do want a digital cell phone and shop around you can
get really good deals. Cell One offered free ROAMing from the Canadian
Border to the Mexican Border on the I-5 corridor. That included all of San
Diego, LA, Stockton/Sacramento, Medford, Eugene, Portland, and Seattle.
Supposedly it comes nack every few months.

I have the Radio Shack discone antenna in the attic of my townhouse and
the thing works great.  Most of my listening is 118 to 136 Air band
(I'm a pilot).  And I also do alot of 225 to 400 Military Air listening
with it.  For local police bands in the 155, and 800 MHz, I can pick up
stuff 50 miles away with no problems.
For VHF-Lo work the antenna does a fine job as well.
All-in-all I'm very pleased with mine.
George

[massive amounts of self-serving cow pie from Bill Cheek]

The bottom line is this Cheek: If you have something worthwhile to say,
then say it. But as long as you and Moss keep yammering about your private
business in a public forum, I and I'm sure others will too, will tell you
where to stick it.

If you have a radar detector and have ever been to a Safeway store that
has automatic doors then you have most likely had your radar detector go
crazy.  Lets call this a proxmitity detector.  It detects an object in its
proximity and responds (by opening a door).  If one was to mount one of
these on the dashboard to inform you that you were following too close to
the car in front of you and beeped....  Just think what the signal would
do to the receiving end of a police radar unit.  I had a judge throw out a
ticket because the officer could not tell if the digits on the display
represented the speed of my car or the signal from the nearby Safeway
store...

Spread Spectrum (Freq Hopping) works by rapidly hopping the frequency of
the phone within the assigned spectrum (902-928MHz). On average it hops
approxamately every 300mSec. Your voice is digitized and sent out over
digital packets to the base. You could probably detect it using a very
wide band receiver over the band. It's a pretty complex operation because
of the timing required of the base and hand unit. The advantage over the
original method of SS is that it  can overcome a lot more
interference and penetrate many more obstacles (glass, walls, etc.) There
are other advantages as well but thats the basic stuff. Before any one
flames me and says that Freq Hopping isn't spread spectrum, it is. When I
think of spread spectrum I also think of the method in which many low
power signals are transmitted at a level that is below the noise floor
but when combined forms one detectable sig. But, FH is now classified as
SS so you'll see it as SS(FH) and Direct Sequence is SS(DS).

Greetings and Salutations, ScannerFans:

I read with a great deal of interest the recent "open
letters" posted to and about me on alt.radio.scanner and on
rec.radio.scanner.  There has also been a small flood of
e-mail over the last ten days.  Accordingly, I shall take
this opportunity to speak my piece.  So what first, the good
stuff or the bad stuff?

Let's start with the bad stuff and work up to end on the
good.  The bad shit is that a fellow by the name of Andy
Moss in Ontario, Canada, has taken it upon himself to rid
the world of me and what I try to do for Hobby Radio.  He
thinks, and has some of you believing that I am utter evil
and a personification of a discarnate entity from hell.

Of itself, that's ok.  He's entitled to his opinions, same
as you are yours.....and me, mine.  Unfortunately, he took
his personal feelings and catapulted them into some sort of
a "Crusade" against me, first on the FidoNet SCANRADIO forum
about a year or so ago.  Mr. Moss promptly got himself
evicted from the forum; his tail feathers severely burned.

Smarting from that little fiasco, Mr. Moss took his Crusade
here to the newsgroups and perhaps to other media where he
can't be evicted.  He continues his little war to this day.
But up to this point, no problem.  Canada and America are
free countries, and the newsgroups are free media.  Right?

But Mr. Moss has been considerably less than candid in the
conduct of his little war.  He has lied, warped, distorted,
and misstated the truth on many occasions.  He feels the end
justifies the means.  Lots of tyrannical despots through the
course of human history have felt that way.  It is nothing
new.  Neither is the suffering caused by these slimeballs.

Now all that aside, I have been in close touch with many of
you over this last year.  I have also idly watched the
goings-on, the lies, the half-truths, the mistruths, and the
downright nasty skullduggery and treachery that Moss has
employed in his "work".  And I have watched some of you
swallow his line of crap: hook, line and sinker.  Cool.
We're all free, right?

Ummmmmm, me, too.  So when I exercised my freedom to poke a
little fun back at Mister Moss to see what he was made out
of, my goodness, the thunder rolled; the lightning flashed;
and voices shrieked out of the woodwork.  One sicko moans:

  " I'm sure I speak for most if not all the readers of this
  group when I say that we are _sick_ of your crap here. We
  are interested in scanning news, not Cheek-speak. "

Another snivels, "Go back to FidoNet where you below...."

Several more offer sage advice, "Cheek, this makes you look
bad, and it damages your credibility and reputation...."

A few others said they'd put me on their "Kill List" .....

A couple even said they'd never do business with me.....

Geezus H. Kriste, people, what the hell is this?  Nazi
Germany?  Castro Cuba?  Hussein Iraq?  Stalinist Russia?
Ok, ok, so some of you good folks don't know me all that
well.  Here are the first and last things you NEED to know
about me, if you never know anything else:

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS
FREEDOM OF SPEECH

I am a salwart supporter of these two fundamentals of the
American Bill of Rights and the first Amendments to the
Constitution of the United States of America.  I will fight
and have fought for YOUR access to these rights, and I will
take them for myself as well.  My regard for these
fundamentals is unconditional and resolute.  This simply
means that when I have something to say, I will say it, and
neither hell nor high water, nor threats and intimidation,
nor sniveling and whining will deter me.  THIS is all some
people need to know about me.  Others might want to know one
thing more.

Yes, I can TAKE it.  I can be ragged, bullied, roasted, and
taken to the cleaners.  And when they're done, I will get
up, dust myself off, and launch a Size #13EE crosswise up
the sweet patooties of those who erred in judgment by first
dishing it out.  The moral?  If they can't take it, they
oughtn't dish it out.  The compensation?  I will never be
the first to dish it out.

Now then, let's move up scale a little.  To those who
threaten me with "damaging my credibility", or losing
business, and that sort of thing......I have THIS to say
about THAT.

Eat my shorts.

These folks need to know a little something more about me.

First and foremost, I am not present on the newsgroups, nor
in any other public medium for the purpose of doing
business.  Radio is MY hobby, same as it is yours.  It so
happens that radio is also my business, my vocation, and my
livelihood, but I deal with those aspects quite apart from
the public forums. My presence in these media is exclusively
to render technical support and assistance to those who need
it; and to learn something for myself.  That's it.

Now there is the old adage against mixing business with
pleasure.  So I try very hard not to.  In a word, I don't
give a hang how I "look" nor how "credible" I appear to be.
I am not a politician.  I am not subject to intimidation,
fear,  and anxiety over how people perceive me.  To those
who have tried to intimidate me with threats of this nature,
I must sincerely call attention to the bouquet of mistletoe
that's attached to my shirttail.  In all liklihood, I
probably don't want to do business with those who don't want
to do business with me.  I'm a 2-way man, all the way.  If
it's one way, I'm probably not up for it.

Upscale some more now.  My e-mail box has a number of
missives in it, wondering why I was "afraid to come out to
the newsgroups to meet Mr. Moss in public".  In a word, this
was the catalyst that prompted me to commit to participating
on these newsgroups.  A number of people thought Mr. Moss
had me buffaloed.  That was erroneous thinking but hey, at
least there was an element of logic to it.  So I shuffled
some priorities and opted to "come out" and do a little
dancing of my own.  Here I am.  No fear.  Ready.  Waiting.
(Come on, Mossy baby, come on, come on.....heh heh heh)

Mister Moss sang, fiddled, and danced this past year,
thinking he was in total safety.  Well, the good Lord, in
the process of Creation, made some men out of flesh and
blood and others out of shit.  It is sometimes hard to tell
the difference.  So my first order of the day is to
determine what Mister Moss is made of.  THEN, I will be all
too pleased to get down and dirty into the sciences, arts,
and crafts of scanning.  Remember....YOU gave Mr. Moss the
opportunity to wage his little war.  I will now TAKE my
opportunity to see what kind of stuff Mr. Moss is made of.
(Yes, I know, a preposition is a terrible thing to end a
sentence with.....)

TOP SHELF.  Many, many folks on these newsgroups have been
heart-warming and congenial in welcoming me here.  For you,
I am pleased to be here.  I hope to be able to rearrange my
networking priorities to spend substantial time with you.  I
don't like and am not comfortable with the structure of
newsgroup messaging in terms of the poor quality readers and
editors thus far available.  I am accustomed to and prefer
message readers and editors that keep better track of
headers and threads, but I'll manage, and I'm sure better
software is in the offing.

THE BOTTOM LINE.  I am intimately aware of the nature of
network messaging, public and private, and of the mechanics
it takes to support the system.  I run two private technical
wide area networks, a local area network, and a worldwide
networked BBS.  I use Windows NT 3.51 Server and Windows 95.
I know a bit of what I'm doing and of networking in general.
Not only am I a subject-matter expert in scanners, but I
build and upgrade computers and network systems.  I don't
know that I am an expert in these areas, but definitely a
journeyman.

I also know the ins and the outs and all differences between
virtual reality and actual reality.  That's one reason why I
am not concerned with how I or others "look".  I am not
concerned with "Kill Lists"; "bandwidth", as some put it;
and "abuse" as others put it.  That stuff is pure tommyrot.

Virtual reality, such as these message media, are the
closest thing yet to what William Shakspeare meant when in
one of his works, he wrote, "All the world's a stage, and we
are the actors on it.......".  This virtual medium IS a
stage where everyone is free to give appearances.  And no
matter what, that's all it will ever be is....APPEARANCES.
Good, bad, or indifferent, it's at best...appearances.  You
cannot possibly hug, kiss, spit, chew, or draw blood in
virtual reality.

There is no way under the sun you can be forced to read
messages that you don't want to read.  There is no way you
can have tobacco juice spit on you from your monitor.  There
is no way you can be deprived of any freedoms or rights in
these virtual reality newsgroups.  With 16,000+ newsgroups
and hundreds of articles in each, "bandwidth" is NOT a
consideration here.  To get something said, dealt with, and
done is far better than slinking around with a festering
problem.........like Mister Moss.

Virtual reality offers total freedom to both sides of a
communique.  It cannot convey any harm or offense, except by
creation in the minds of the recipients.  In a word, offense
cannot be given in this medium; only TAKEN.  If taken, then
that is a matter of choice....and an exerising of your basic
freedoms.  Sure, you CAN choose to take offense.  It's your
right.  It is very difficult to GIVE offense in this medium.

Now as far as Mister Moss is concerned, his persistence has
made a real thing out of virtuality; real in the sense that
many of you don't want me here.  Tough.  I'm here.  But to
show you something of what I mean, please understand that I
am going to continue having some fun with Mister Moss until
he indicates it's time to quit.  He started it.

I get to play, too.  Now as a service to those who look down
on me for it, you may rest assured that I will structure the
subject line of all such messages to or about HIM so that
you can determine right off whether or not you want to read
them.  The most common complaint has been something to the
effects of "Cheek speak" and "I don't want to wade through
messages that I don't want to read."

Well, one cardinal principle of network messaging is to
structure subject lines to reflect something about the
content of the message.  That's the best I can offer to
those who would deny me my opportunity to meet Moss on his
own terms.  I won't be denied.  I won't acquiesce to
threats, whines, howls, pressure, intimidation, nor personal
advice of the philosophical sort that verges on religion.

I don't "turn the other cheek" as 6,000,000 others did in
1938-1945 and 2,000,000 did in the 1970's.  The solution is,
however, DON'T dish it out if you can't take it.  And get
out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

My commitment is to not be the initiator of inflammatory
situations.  And within limitations, I'll avoid adding to
one.  But there are lines....if someone attacks me, I
reserve the right to counterattack.  The solution is DON'T
attack in the first place.

On that note, I plan to be active in the scanning scene here
on the newsgroups, and I will be active in meeting Mister
Moss head on to resolve the issues he has raised and
perpetrated over this last year.  It is a very simple matter
that need cause no one any grief unless they WANT grief.

Thanks to those who have been neutral or positive... your
synergy and energy goes a long way.  It's appreciated.

AND thus far, no offense taken from those who have been
gross and negative.  I understand that Mister Moss has a
deathgrip on some people who can no longer be positive.  If
I think you are one of his shills, I'll probably just feel
sorry for you.  If you don't persist like he has done, I'll
probably listen to your opinions and just go on about my
business.  I won't be altered by negativity, however.

I'm here, probably to stay.

Oh....one more thing.  Moss loves to point out what he
thinks are my mistakes and errors.  Sure, I made a few here
and there.

Don't YOU?

Let me suggest that Mister Moss doesn't make mistakes
because he doesn't have the balls to get up and write or
publish something that will require him to be the subject of
scrutiny.  He doesn't dare........ and to some extent,
because he has skeletons in his closet that go back a long
way.  Mister Moss can't hold up to a sustained scrutiny.

I can.

My skeletons are those of a youthful sowing of wild oats and
subsequent prayer for "crop failure".  Same as most of you.

There is nothing in either my public life or private life of
which I am ashamed or afraid to deal with in public as
necessary.  On the other hand, I am not running for public
office, and my private affairs are not really yours to test
UNLESS yours are also subject to test.  Like Moss's, for
example.  He's tested mine.  I shall be testing his. Mister
Moss has some VERY INTERESTING private affairs, you see.

The alternatives?  The alternatives are simple.  DON'T dish
it out unless you can take it.  And when someone else dishes
it out, don't sit there idly minding your own business and
then hose the poor bastard who TOOK it in the first place.
STOP the one who dishes it out or else keep your peace when
there is a response.

There it is.....the good, the bad, the ugly.  Like it or
lump it. Do with it as you please. My position is resolute.

Meanwhile, I await Mister Moss...with great anticipation...
licking my chops.  If he doesn't appear, then I await
scanning with even greater anticipation, drooling in fact.

Sure, widely published, too.  It may exist in text file format around
various archives, but be careful there, since text files cannot offer
pictures, schematics and the kinds of details required in a critical
mod like Extended Memory.

In a word, the stock SRAM chip (2k x 8) is replaced with a larger SRAM
(32k x 8) or (256k x 8) to yield 6400 or 25,600 channels.  External
addressing is required to organize the Extended Memory into "Blocks"
of 400-channels each.  6400 channels comes out as 16 Blocks of 400-ch
each, while 25,600 channels comes out as 64 Blocks of 400-ch ea.

The mod is not terribly complicated and has been done by laymen all
over.  I published it in all three of my books and in back issues of
the monthly WORLD SCANNER REPORT.  I will also offer tech support on
it via the newsgroup should you wish to try it and run into trouble.

There ya go for starters.

Happy New Year!

I have had the misfortune to have to fix this problem. It is a pain in
the ___ and not for the faint of heart nor for someone without a
jewelers screwdriver set. It's been a while..

1. As you noted, remove the 2 screws under the batteries.
2. There are 2 screws in each of the rubber grips on each side of the
    radio. If I remember right remove ONLY the back screw on each
    side. A little metal plate is used on each side which will
    naturally fall off if you remove both screws on each side.
3. The 2 halves will separate at this point.
4. I'm a little fuzzy at this point but I I had to remove a few screws

    from topmost circuit board AND from the bottom one mounted
    to the front panel. Then I had to CAREFULLY bend/separate
    the boards apart on the end away from the antenna so that I
    could unsolder the ground connection of the antenna away from the
    circuit board, giving me enough room to open the assembly more.
5. I then used a little pair of needle nose pliers to tighten the nut
    holding the antenna in place. I had a hard time tightening it to
    my satisfaction and probably should have used a small hammer
    and screwdriver to tighten the nut more. I used a touch of glue
    to help hold everything in place.
6. I then reversed the proceedure and cussed alot because I removed
    both screws from the rubber grips.

As I said I may have missed a step or two but this is pretty close. I
believe the topmost circuit board pulled free from connectors and
could be set aside before separating the other two.

This is a great scanner but poorly laid out from a mechanical
standpoint. Hopefully I won't have to do that again. By the way I did
not remove the knobs since they are glued in place with a light coat
of silicon cement to keep them in place. Good luck! If you find an
easier way post it.

Hey Bill, I'm looking to purchase the 256kX8 SRAM (If I can find one) but like
you mentioned above, the text files that are abundant out there don't have
schematics of what gets put where.

If I may ask you (and I know this is in your book), how are the 4 10K 1/8 w
resistors and the dip switchs actually hooked up?  The text file mentioned the
resistors as pullups  but not being of a digital electronics mindframe I can't
figure that one out.


BTW....  Loved that letter stating your position on this whole mess, I agree
with you, if a person doesn't like the postings that you and Moss are into at
the moment, all they have to do is delete them.  Easy enough, I do it all the
time on those threads that don't have my intrest.

As far as I'm concerned, you're MORE than welcome to post whatever's needed.

After much work, I have found out what the unlock code is for the
OS535/Pro2035 combination.  I have written a shareware program whose sole
purpose is to unlock the OS535.  This would allow the user to then use his
scanning program of choice after running this program.  I would appreciate
it if a person or persons would allow me to post it on one of the
modification internet sites.

Thanks,
Eric

Happy scanning

The Pro-34 was one of the classics when it comes to modifying.  You can
open up the "forbiden" frequencies, replace the main crystal with a
faster one to speed up the scanning, and countless other mods (memory,
etc...)

Congratulations. Susan is a strange name for a dad I think!
Have you played with the scout very much. I have read a little about them
but have never seen one up close. Give me an example of where you have
used it. Does it pick up local FM and TV stations instead of those secret
frequencies you strive for. I have played with the Opto Intercepter and
its is junk as far as I am concerned. It receives and hangs on commercial
stations too much. You spend all day hitting the bypass key.
Thanks for your time.

Ummmmm.   Isn't that what this newsgroup is all about?  To give this info?

   It's here to help people get into the scanning hobbie.  Not to scare
them away thinking we are all "KNOW-IT-ALLS"

   Just MY opinion.

I am wanting to obtain an antenna for my 2006.  Down the road I might
want to use the antenna to broadcast in the 2 meter band.  What type
of rig will perform all of these furntions?  I have observed
recommendations of using two or more diffrent types of antennas for
diffrent functions.  I may also want to use the antenna for SW
monitoring.  What is the best solution and source?

Thanks

Just in case you aren't on a trunked system.  Occasionally mics get stuck or
some idiot sits on it.  This usually prompts the dispatcher into looking for a

"hot mic".  If the occurance is as regular as you say, it's probably a trunked

system, and the previous responses apply.  Remember, intentional interferance
is illegal.  Even if it means that your interfering with your own department.
That is what a dead key would mean.  Can't use the channel if it has a dead

        It seems as though the cheapest I can find a new AOR-8000 is
        $599.  Anyone know of cheaper and where?  What about shipping?

        Thanks.

        Hello, do the instructions that come with the AOR-8000 explain
        how to communicate with the 8000 via the serial port?  By this
        I mean opcodes, instructions, arguements, baud rate, parity, etc?
        If not, where is ther a description of this?  I want to write
        my own program and skip the nasty cost of commercial ones.  I'll
        make it available freely when I am done.

        Thanks a lot.

Most mice steal power the same way. Make sure you have some sort of

I not sure if my reply to the AR8K loose BNC ever made it. I concur with

Keep in mind that the "unlock" will go away as soon as the unit is powered off
.

Scan*Star for WIndows will automatically unlock the unit each time you use
it if you provide the unlock code.

The sale on the pro-2026 should be good until the 15th
of Jan, but these units can not be modified for the Cell
phone band. But other than that it is a great little mobile

My 2 cents, for what it's worth.
Thanks to Bill, I have changed the way my scanner works and, thereby
gaining a much higher level of enjoyment out of the hobby.
Also, using his information, I have helped family members & close friends
the same way.
Seems like this guys contributions are contagious. Makes people happy.
I don't see any contributions like this from Moss.
He hasn't made me or any of my family or friends happy at all.
Keep your attitude, Bill; You're a very positive person, which by all
means is what makes you successful.

I read some time ago, in the classifieds of MT magazine, that there was
available a mother board for the 2035 which was not cell blocked.
Recently, somewhere on this newsgroup, I read that Javiation is to
carry/make available this board. I don't know their phone # or anything
about their reliablility. Hope this helps a little bit.

This does sound like a typical trunking control channel;
However I have listened to a VHF conventional Police radio system here in Onta
rio for a local police dept.
where they broadcast an annoying computer data tone when the repeater is not i
n
use. The purpose is to prevent scanner listeners since A) the continuous trans
mission
prevents the radio from scanning and B) the data noise is VERY annoying! What
they
do is drop the PL (Private Line) sub-audible tone when the data noise is being
 transmitted...
that way, their own radios never hear the noise. A Ham radio with a PL decoder
or a newer bearcat scanner with PL can defeat this system. The Ontario Provinc
ial Police also have
a similar system on VHF whereby "data" is transmitted
on "marker" frequencies when there is no voice transmissions. Unlike the other
 system I described, this
data is actually used for control by the mobiles (not unlike a control channel
 in an 800 Mhz trunking system). Again,
PL is used to eliminate the data from being heard over the radio's speaker so
a PL capable scanner or
ham radio will elimiante the problem.

I dont think they even use 10 codes very often and if they do its usually obio

These are for a Statewide Astro digital system used by state government
agencies such as the FL Highway Patrol, Marine Patrol and Division of Law
Enforcement. Since this is a digital-only system you would only hear the
buzz of data on your scanner if the frequencies are in use in your area. I
don't believe that the North Florida part of the system is constructed
yet, but the system is very active in South Florida.

Motorola doesn't claim it's scanner proof, they emphisize the fact
that conversations can't be followed easly.  I have found that about
half the channels are not even used.  I have them locked out, but go
back to them every now and then to see if they are being used.  Try it
listen for 30 mins and mark down each hit.  The pattern says all.  I
have a hard time believing that you have personally spoken with half
of the PPB force.  They know about the inability to follow
conversations.

As for the above statement that scanner folks aren't that important.
I have a suggetion.  Try following the police around for a while.  Go
to every major event and a few minor ones.  Make yourself more
visable, and you will find out just how concerned the police are about
scanner folks.  Personal experience is that you WILL be investigated,
whether you are suspected of a crime or not!  I know for a fact that
myself and others were investigated for our political views ONLY!!!
Acording to Oregon law that is a crime!  Try obtaining some specific
police reports and see what happens when you ask.

Officers are putting NOAA on the trunk to slow scanner folks down.
This is confirmed!!!  No reason as to why was given even when pressed.

I believe you can get a trunked (receive only) radio from the PPB on
lease.  I haven't checked on this yet but have heard that it is fairly
expensive.  Also, it only has 3 channels of the system on it.

I see.  Then you need to go for the gusto and make it count.  Talk
about "threats"......whooooey, I never did anything to you and you're
all huffed and puffed, blowing and going like that boom box dude to
which you alluded.  You are one very strange fellow, Alexander, and
quite possibly on the edge of making Mr. Moss look like a saint.  At
least I think he thinks I did something to him.  You just fancy
yourself as the newsgroup "wheel".  (Pssst, you're dripping!)

Ummmm, you don't by any chance happen to have a harelip or a gap
between your teeth, do you?  Perhaps a severe overbite?  High, jutting
forehead?  Knuckles bleeding from dragging the ground?  I can refer
you to some professional help if you would like.

And you write books, too?

They suck!  I have one too, and am not very impressed at all!  I get a
lot of air traffic on my VHF high channels, the antenna connections is
lousy, and it's reception abilities pale in comparison to most of my
other scanners that are in that price range.

Tired of the non-stop banter of the EGO we all know as Bill Cheek?   Try
fowarding every NON-TECHNICAL self-righteous post that he makes to:

                [e-mail]

While they specifically deny responsibility for what passes through their
server, enough fowarded messages may help fix the problem.  I've tried sending

his posts back to him, but it doesn't work.  You can try if you like, but I
think the postmaster is a better target.

To Bill:

If you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, go ahead.  Tripe?  You can keep it.

I have a Bearcat 100 which will no longer charge the batteries. (Yes, I
even tried putting a new set in.)  The unit will only work if the
charging unit is plugged in.  Any ideas on what the problem is?  I live
in the San Jose area, where can I take it to get it repaired for less
the value of the radio itself?  Please E mail me.

I have not seen Bill's posts as "egotistical". The man is pissed that
a tiny little jerk has been harrassing him for sometime.

I suspect you are no better than his aggressor.

I do think its time Bill canned it and went on with life.

If you use the wide band mode and feed the audio into
a good amplifier you can eliminate this problem. Also
check your volume and keep it low. If the problem
reduces or goes away than you may have a weak nicad.
The DC voltage to the squealch circuits appears to
degrade as the volume increases. Very slight changes
in the voltage reference can cause the squelch trip
point to shift resulting in breakup of the audio.
The main problem seems to be that the bandwidth is
too narrow and/or the center frequency may be
slightly off causing this problem.

The audio of the 8k definately has a problem in this
area at times that relates to all of the above. I
find the worst audio when using the SSB mode. Other
HT scanners such as the TR-2400 are far better in
audio quality.

This following message was a private exchange between Bill Cheek and me.
I'm sorry that he saw fit to publicize it since it is of little import
to everyone else on this forum. What he neglects to mention is that I
responded to a private e-mail he sent me of a derogatory nature. Not
surprising, he conveniently omits that fact.

I don't wish to fall into the same cesspole in which Cheek (and Moss)
currently reside. I'll refrain from responding to Cheek's postings and
will henceforth let his messages speak for themselves. Indeed, they are
far more eloquent and revealing about his character than I could ever
be.

Motorola works very hard to defend their software and their dealers.  I am
a dealer and cannot sell the software, even  to self servicing customers
who own 100s of radios.  Please do Motorola and the dealer network a
favor. Call a dealer in your area, make a friend, and see if they will
help re-program your radio.

With regards

Most of the Discone type antennas give great results.  I know that Maxrad
makes  a few various models and another is made by "diamond", who ever
that may be.  Try calling Amateur Electronic Supply (I live near their
stroe in Wickliffe, Ohio) on their 800 listing (Chicago?).  They are a
very good resource for monitoring supplies.

Don't look at or plan to use the MC145436, it has been made obsolete by

Hello Glenn,

  I was reading some general mail and came across yours on the CI-V
interface.  I am a new user to the internet, the mail system, and
scanners.  I have a RS PRO-2006, and I was going to modify it with Bill
Cheeks CE-232 interface.  However I seen a interface by Optoelectronics,
and I was wondering if you had any thought which one is better and why?
When you talked about the serial interface of the CE-232, I was wondering
if that would except the optoelectronic frequency scout (frequency search
device).  Maybe you can talk about some of the software that is available
for both of them, and if the CE-232 is able to read DTMF?

Thanks

Ron Hutton

Interesting article in Wall Street Journal the other day (1-2-96).
Although it only indirectly mentions scanning, should be of interest to
anyone who likes to listen to cell phone conversations (or to anyone who
thinks that e-mail is private)!

Excerpts of the article follow:

(Copyright (c) 1996, Dow Jones & Company, Inc.)

NEW YORK -- Federal authorities, relying on the first-ever court-approved
wiretap of electronic-mail accounts, arrested and charged three people
with running one of the most sophisticated cellular-fraud rings uncovered
so far.

[snip]

     The three people arrested included a German electrical engineer and
alleged mastermind, Bernard Bowitz...

[snip]

     Mr. Bowitz came to the attention of law enforcement agencies because
he allegedly peddled his wares on ... CompuServe... An engineer at AT&T
Corp.'s wireless unit was monitoring CompuServe...when he came across an
advertisement sent to all CompuServe e-mail customers. In the ad, a person
who identified himself as Bernard Bowitz, offered to sell illegal
cellphone devices to interested buyers, states the complaint.

[snip]

     The case was referred to the Secret Service and the Drug Enforcement
Administration, and the agencies got permission... to wiretap the e-mail
messages between Mr. Bowitz and his two alleged accomplices. Mr. Bowitz,
apparently believing that his private e-mail was immune to interception,
openly described his transactions -- making it easy for the DEA and Secret
Service to track his moves...

[snip]

     The equipment manufactured and distributed by Mr. Bowitz is far more
complex than gear seized in previous investigations, the agencies said.
One device seized was a "CellTracker" phone, which allows a user to
eavesdrop on a call being made by another cellphone user. The CellTracker
could be used as a potent counter-surveillance tool by crooks who want to
tap into the communications of law enforcement officers who may be after
them. Another device, about the size of a small book, steals phone numbers
when legitimate users place a call. Cellphone crooks typically use far
bulkier "scanning" devices. The gadget allegedly made by Mr. Bowitz could
be concealed inside a jacket, letting a user pick up numbers secretly
while strolling down a street.

[snip]

     The agencies said they also bought several "Lifetime" phones from Mr.
Bowitz. Agents said such a phone can be programmed with up to 99 stolen
numbers in its memory, a much higher capacity than typical so-called
cloned phones.

[snip]

     Phones seized in the latest bust also have a startling new
capability: They can be conveniently programmed with stolen numbers by
simply using the keypad. Devices taken in previous phone busts had to be
programmed with a separate, more complicated hookup to a personal
computer.

of the scanner show that the scanner was made in December 1994. Is this consid
ered to be a new model which can't be modify?

Not only is that cool,  I just got my Monitoring Times Magazine today,

and sure enough, on the back in the Stock Exchange section there was a guy


advertising to sell one of the logic boards for around the same price as
Javiation.

I'll put in a free ad for him : Larry [phone]   $135.00

 Try belden 8261 video cable...the stuff works great and can be found in
trash cans behind most TV stations...or make friends with an engineer at
the station and get some "on loan".

That's what I use and I have found NO difference in 800/900mhz reception
or any other bands with fifty foot plus runs when compaired to 9913.

IMHO unless you are transmitting...9913 is a ripoff for scanner use.

...while you are at it, you can find a TON of modification info in the scanner

section of the Hamnet forum right on COMPUSERVE, without searching the web.

The web has 10 TONS of mods, how can you MISS them?  Learn to use a browser
and you can help yourself, instead of berating those who suggest that you do.

Sometimes, if you find nothing, that means there is nothing to be found on
that subject.

 This smacks of those people who won't go looking for a job because it isn't
as easy as slacking along on welfare.  You obviously have access to a
computer, so not having the tools is no excuse.

The tone of your original request may have indicated to the respondant that
you didn't look for yourself.  I too get tired of answering the same questions

about information that is all over if you bother to look for it.

Now that you mention it I did end up adding a voltage regulator to the circuit
.
Drove my cost up 30 cents but it gave me peace of mind about the power
going to the Max chip.

Roger,

I mentioned the VHF freqs because a lot of people aren't aware that they exist
. They're usually
easy to find if active because of the narrow bandwith (138-144 25 KHz step). I
t is common in this
area to have one group of fighters on VHF (Victor) and the other group on UHF
( Uniform).

If you can obtain a copy of the current listing of the Air refuelling tracks t
hey will show the
Primary and secondary A/R freqs along with ATC entry/exit control. Also if you
 can obtain a list
of ATC freqs for your area I believe they will show the UHF ATC. I find most o
f the freqs that
they are using by simply monitoring UHF ATC. They will usually say something l
ike punch 303.0.
I'm not sure but I think Jonathan Clough @ Javiation sells those lists but I'm
 not sure.

When I'm searching i generally will use 50KHz steps because it's twice as fast
 and 25KHz steps
are not all that common. 50KHz is becoming more common though. When monitoring
 Milair comms I use
a 200 MHz in line highpass filter to eliminate most of the intermod. If you ar
e going to use a
preamp put the filter ahead of it.

Jeff Zeman

P.S. If you happen to see a UHF Helical satcom antenna lying around the base I
'd be very happy if
you'd send it to me...

I have a Pro-2006 and would like to receive some of the TV channels
in the 200 MHz range that I cann't receive with the telescoping atenna
that came with the unit. Apart from making the adaptor to
a BNC connector, is there a strong possibility of an impedance
mismatch? If so, do I have any other choices apart from
hooking my TV to the cable system! Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kevin,

Here is what I know.

The above MODS work on code dates on the back of the Pro-51 that are 7A4
or lower... they will not work on 11A4 or any in that range. I have both
and know this for a fact...I have been looking for a workable MOD for
11A4 but so for have not been able to find one.

I went to my local Radio Shack just last Friday , and had the
salesperson pull out his stock of six Pro 51's and He had four with the
11A4 code on them. I found two that had the 7A4 code. I tried the
keyboard MOD mentioned above and they worked on the 7A4, but not on the
11A4. I hate to admit this but I bought one with the 7A4. Now I have two
Pro 51. I am sure that someday I will find a way to MOD my 11A4.
So, My suggestion to all you freq freaks is ... If you want a Pro 51
that will take the keypad MOD....go to Your local Radio Shack and ask
the salesperson to bring out all of his stock , and open them and see if
you can find 7A4 code date or one close to it.
I hope that this helps .

Greetings to all fellow scanner geeks!

I see that the RS Pro-60 handheld scanner is on sale this
month for $250 (that's about 33% off, I think).  It's a
triple conversion receiver with 800 MHz (no cellular of
course), military air band, VOR band, some of the TV
audio band, etc.  Actual coverage is 30-512 and
760-1000 MHz (-cell).

I'm thinking of getting one.  Does anyone know if the
Pro-60 is any good?

Thanks for any help!

Andrew Clegg

I've recently purchased a PRO-51 and am enjoying it greatly.  I've
been through all the sources I can find on the Internet, but haven't
found any listings for mid-Calif (Tulare County) that give the codes
used by the Police/Sherriffs departments.  They use the '10' codes,
'Code xxx' codes, and the PC codes (Burglery, Theft, etc).
Does anyone have these listings?

Many Thanks

No problem.  If this is the same mod that has been around a while, it will
allow the 800 MHz freq numbers to be displayed on the scanner, but the rest

Hey Rob,
You can use the 75 ohm cable to run to another antenna but I've tried hooking
my
scanner up to a "LIVE" cable service and didn't get anything.  The signal that
is present is not what the scanner will be looking for from that (as far as I'
m
told).  Take a piece of coax (75 or 50 Ohm) and strip off the outer insulation
and ground braid of about 3-10 ft and you can just drop it out a window, tack
it
up your wall ect and that should help you out a lot.  It will depend on how
close the TV stations are that you want to listen to.

I use a 3 element scanner antenna I got from Rat Shack several years ago and I
pick up everything I could possibly want from it.  TV and all.

Hope this does it for you

Since "[e-mail]" writes anonymously, I'll have to respond to the
newsgroup.

Which FAA regulation(s) prohibits operation of "ANY" receiver...

If this is the case, why does the FAA publish an Advisory Circular
(ACNo: 91.21-1 for example) concerning use of Portable Electronic Devices
(PEDs) aboard aircraft? Why do certain airlines allow the use of scanners?
Why, at the pilot's discretion, is scanning permitted. The FAA *does*
prohibit transmitters, but I've never seen anything prohibiting receivers,
and I would be grateful if you cite a reference.

[snip]

Just wanted to drop you a note and post thanking you for this little
tidbit...  very cool and useful stuff that's not published so much
anymore.

Also thought I'd put in my 2 cents...  I happen to have a car
cd-cassette converter thing from my discman laying around (the kind
that lets you play your discman through your tape deck) and plug that
into my car stereo quite frequently.   Sure it sucks the batteries of
my SC150 a bit more since I end up turning it up louder, but that's
what recharging is for (and no, too lazy to go out and find a decent
cigarette lighter adapter for it)..

Just one note of advice...  when in a fast food driverthrough line..
getting bored and hungry from sitting there too long.. and you tune in
their headset freqs...  remember to turn your stereo down before
pulling up to the microphone...    the feedback is liable to kill
someone one of these days. :) (ok, so *I* thought it was funny when I
accidentally did it the first time.. just dont ask me about the other
times)

The Law Enforcement agencies in my area use Digital Voice Processing (DVP).
They choose when to use it and when not to by the press of a button on
any of their frequencies.  It scrambles the transmission for
confidential information regarding juviniles, etc.  Also very effective
when pursuing an individual or busting an underage party where there
may be a scanner in operation.  When using DVP, all the scanner owner hears
is the same as if you turn the squelch all the way down.

This radio is completely user programmable from the front panel using an
access code.  Programming is fairly simple and it takes only minutes to
completely load up all 16 channels.  I do not have the original documentation,
however I will provide all instructions necessary for care and programming of
the unit.

I am selling this radio WITH a supplied ICOM rapid charger and a supplied
1000mAh high current battery (allows the unit to transmit at a full 5 watts).
I will NOT sell the radio alone for less money, since i will have no use for
the battery or charger without the radio.  The radio is in good condition
(minor wear) and I have had it in my posession for 2 years.  It has been used
basically as a fire monitor (hasn't left the house much and hasn't been
dropped or used in a firefighting enviornment, save for use as a secondary
"scanner" in my vehicle during brush fire photography incidents).  MINOR
scratches.

The only reason I am parting with the unit is for monetary purposes.
Christmas bills came earlier than expected and it looks like I overdid it this
year.  This has been a good radio to me and has come in handy on many a
photo-chasing incident.  I hate to part with it, but I really am left with
little choice.

Radio, 1000mAh battery, rapid charger.

The police department in Medina, Ohio used to scramble all of their
transmissions around the time that I moved to the area 4 years ago.
They eventually dumped the scrambling and now transmit in the clear. I
had heard from someone at my job who is a volunteer fire fighter that
the local police dumped it in order to make communications between
several local agencies and themselves easier.

With the ever increasing popularity of scanners, I am suprised that
more law enforcement agencies are not looking at scrambling their
transmissions. Think about how handy a scanner with the local law
enforcement frequencies punched into it would be to a burgular robbing
a home. It definately puts the local police at a disadvantage in trying
to apprehend such an offender.

My personal feeling is that any agency that wants to "secure" its
transmissions from public monitoring has the right/responsibility to
scramble its own transmissions. It is a hell of a lot more effective
than the rediculous "protection" that cellular phone companies got with
the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (and subsequent
legislation) that resulted in it being illegal to import or manufacture
scanners capable of receiving cellular frequencies. Millions of
scanners that do receive those frequencies are still floating around -
I have two such radios. I'm sure that the majority of the owners of
these radios don't avoid the cellular bands simply because they are
illegal to listen to.

Although what is NOT appreciated is the fact that IMPORTING the Cellular

If caught you will lose more than just the scanner they will confiscate.
While probably not a high probability of occurence, it still can happen.

Let the buyer beware.  I notice that Durham's ads in Popular Communications

Beware, not ALL Pro-2026's with the "proper" date code are modifiable.
Same is true for the Pro-43...nobody is exactly sure why but there are
a number of these scanners with the proper date codes in which the mod

I own a 2006 and am a Ham.  I used the Radio Shack Discone for a
couple of years and found it to be ok for both.  The SWR on the 2meter
band (fed with 75 Ohm Coax!) was 1.4:1.  The antenna does not exibit
any gain in Tx or Rx but is functional if you only want to put up one
antenna for both scanner and 2M.

The Discone advertises 25 MHz and up but the performance is marginal
on the band edges.  Nothing beats an antenna tuned for the particular
band you want to monitor or use.

Hope it helps...

de Glenn, KE3MF

P.S.  I now use a Radio Shack Ground Plane and a preamplifier for the
scanner and a homebrew 5 element Quad for 2M.

You might want to put a diode in series with the regulator input if it
does not have "reverse battery protection".  Most 3 pin regulators will
clamp their output to a diode, protecting the stuff down stream as along
as they can. The extra diode takes care of that problem without
stressing anything.  The dropout of the diode can be a problem, so make
it a 1n5817.

Various postings blame the IF bandwidth of the AR8K to be the source of
the squelch audio clipping. I don't see why overmodulating would cause
the squelch to cut out, as it should be happy when it sees any signal,
even a bad one. Can someone provide a better explanation?

If the lcd displays a frequency it is almost certainly an amateur radio.
If it displays a channel number it could be either ham or commercial gear.
  Please post the model #, I'm curious.  BTW, you don't need to have an
amateur license to own or listen to amateur radio gear, just to transmit.

I too, have a PRO-2036 and I'm very satisfied with it.  I would like to
see some information also about this scanner.  I have been wondering the
same thing whether it was the black sheep of the family.

Ever since I moved to a new house and got a new phone number, I've been plague
d by folks returning
"my page".

Someone, or more likely some thing, is transmitting a three-digit repeating pa
ttern to apparently
random pagers; pager users think is a phone number and I get the call.  I don'
t think I've heard
from the same person twice.

I've determined that the pagers are from a variety of dealers; I've tried to i
dentify a common
system, but most pager users are not technically saavy so it's been difficult
to get much help.

One paging company technician says that it is not possible to eliminate the tr
ansmissions since they
don't - and presumably can't - examine all transmitted data to screen out a pa
rticular pattern (my
number, for instance), and they can't determine the source caller if it's not
an in-house glitch
that sources the data.

This has been going on for four months and shows no sign of abating.

Does anyone have a good suggestion to try aside from changing my number?

TIA

First off...

Welcome to(or welcome back to)rec.radio.scanner!

Let's get straight to business....

Many of us have the 2004/5/6's with fading EL displays and I for one
have not seen any real solutions for a good fix. The problem with a 2004
display is not being able to get a replacement from RS.

Now before the displays in my 2006's go dead...should I "stock up" on
displays while they are still available???

What about CPU's for the 2006's???

We want to keep these radios going for as long as possible. What advice
do you have for us???

Thanks for your input...

Don't worry.  The encodeing will not allow this without great effort on the
persons part that wants to monitor.  They can no doubt buy a little black
box from some off the wall place that will do what they want.  Just a matter
of time.

The thing that people need to keep in mind is that ANY form of cordless
communications is a security hole.  No matter what the law says you will
find someone that will want to break that law and monitor anyway.  Just
read about how the hounds jump on any message that has anything to do with
cell phones.  Since they don't care, or have some kind of attitude, they
degrade the hobby.  You can prove this by doing a simple study.  When
someone gets a new scanner, watch the news group.  The FIRST mod they ask
for is the cell mod.  Then pop over to the rec.radio.swap group and look
for the scanner sales.  The big thing that will sell a scanner is if it
can do cell phone.

Denny, you know that they are already monitoring your pager.  Someone out
there has already figured it out.  They have been watching pages since
before you got your pager.  The best way to get back at these people is to
watch what you have sent out.  Don't give them the thrill of the invasion of
your privacy.  Simply don't say anything that intrests them.

A mobile extender extends the talk range of the officer's portable
radio by rebroadcasting his portable radio transmissions back
through the more powerful transmitter in his cruiser, to the radio at
the police station.  This is preferable to having the repeater antenna
back at the station try to pick up the portable radio transmission
directly.   Usually, your best bet for hearing radio traffic is to set
your scanner to listen on the repeater output frequency of the whole
radio system, rather than the repeater input frequency (or mobile
extender frequency).  The repeater output simply has more range.

 Rob-

 What you need is a capacitive link coupler. Make one. If your cable system
is like 99.996% of the others, you have a piece of rg59 coax with an F conn
on it..build a little mini-box with a female F input, a .01pF coupler cap
and a BNC output to run to your scanner's antenna input. The impedance mis-
match will not be much of a problem. You may also want to add some attenuation
to the input, Rat Shack sells inline F connector units that add 5-10-15 or
20 dB of input attenuation. This will lower the signal level so you dont
swamp the scanner's input stage. Or take a look at the Radio Amateur's Handboo
k,
there are circuits you can build to add attenuation in steps using garden
variety resistors and switches. Built into the same mini-box, this makes for
a professional installation of a coupling device.

 Note that a similar setup will also couple your home satellite system's LNB
to the input of a scanner that is capable of 800MHz-1.3GHz...and you may also
find interesting signals on your cable system in this range.

*****standard liability disclaimer*****
WARNING! DO NOT attempt to directly connect your scanner to any home or pro
satellite LNB without a capacitive link! Doing so may destroy the LNB, your
scanner and or the satellite receiver! If you are not sufficiently savvy with
electronics to built the coupler I have described - SEEK ASSISTANCE!

What a jerk!  "Free information" and "buying my books"
have no relationship whatsoever.

Talk about "suckups", maybe you're a Moss-suckup, no?

So what's your beef with me that causes you to wage a Moss Campaign?
Anything I can settle for you?  Any lingering questions?  Any
uncertainties?

Are you one of those who are going to run me off or put me out of
business?  (Feel free to say "yes".  I love a straight up challenge,
pal!)

Cute piece of work, Michael.  I don't recall ever doing anything to
you.  Keep it up without giving me a chance to  put it to rest and two
can play your game.  Moss is fixing to find out.  Makes me no
nevermind if you want in on the action, too.  The more, the merrier.


Get straight with me or run, fella.  Or.....if you think you can stand
the heat, then stay in the kitchen and fight.

The choice is yours. <shrug>  Just be straight about it, ok?

Bill
=====================================================

THAT was in response to not only your nasty initial responses to me,
but to the little campaign you started to wage behind my back.  Shall
we get into PROOF of that, my fine feathered friend?

Well, be that as it may.....you jumped out of nowhere into this foray.
YOU dished it out, and then couldn't take it.  THAT is the bottom
line, fella.

You had no call to jump in saying the things you said...and not expect
an equivalent response.  Your own character is succinctly revealed, I
daresay.........  No one provoked you, fella.  You just jumped without

Well, scanners have been around for decades, and this does not seem to be
a problem.

I may be mistaken, but I believe that the Trident TR2400 is either a
functional equivalent, cousin, or exact match to the AOR1000XLT or AOR2000.
It will also probably related to a Fairmate model too.  I believe that all of
these came out of the same factory at about the same time, and look alike if
you cover the name at the top.

You might find out for sure by checking the Javiation WWW home page, or
E-mailing Jonathan Clough at Javiation (if he doesn't step in on his own and
confirm or deny what I suspect)

Don't you mean "0.01 uF" ?

You'll get a better signal...


And it would be a good idea to terminate the input with a 75 ohm carbon comp
resistor, or you may cause ghosting on the cable system.

I agree for overall performance a discone is excellent. Radio Shack sells
one for about $ 59 BUT you can make one yourself with stiff solid copper
wire a small pvc cap and a hot soldering iron for nearly nothing and it
works great. I'd be glad to give you some dimensions..John (WU5Z)

  I too use the JVFAX 7.0 software and have built both the simple
741 op-amp decoder and the slightly more sophisticated one described
in the documents that come with the JVFAX program. Allthough a
better receiver produces better images, I've had very good results
with a cheap receiver (Realistic DX 440 / Sangean ATS 83).

  The one problem I suffered was interference caused by the
computer. The solution for me was to use two audio transformers
back-to-back. (Radio Shack sells 8ohm to 1000ohm miniature
transformers for a couple of bucks). You connect the audio
output to the 8ohm side, tie the 1000ohm sides together, and
the other 8ohm to the fax demodulator.

  Happy faxing!

If anyone cares, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986, as
amended, prohibits interception of common-carrier alphanumeric paging data
[section 01(a)(16)(E)].

The Act specifically protects commmunications "transmitted over a
commmunication system provided by a common carrier, unless the commmunication
is a tone only paging system communication."  If the communication is
tone-only, there is no prohibition.

House Judiciary Committee Report 99-647 (page 37) makes the following
statement that clearly presents the committee's legislative intent:  "... the
unauthorized interception of a displaying paging signal intended for digital
display by the paging receiver (which involves the transmission of
alphanumeric characters over the radio) carried by a common carrier is
illegal."

Senate Judiciary Committee Report 99-541 (page 15) uses almost exactly the
same terms in presenting the committee's legislative intent.

Of course, we know that the ECPA has always been BAD LAW, and that it's almost

unenforcable.  I just wanted to let you know what it said.

RG-8/x is about the same as RG-58 in attenuation. Not surprising, as they
are about the same diameter.

Actually, it is only about 1 dB worse than RG8 up to about 30 MHz or so,
for 100 ft of coax. It is worse by about 2.5 dB at 80 MHz. For marginal
signals, the latter would start to be significant.

Colloquially referred to as "RG-8 mini" but really has no relationship

No relationship other than mentioned above.  RG-8/M is also market as
RG-8/x in some circles.  It was developed back in the heyday of
Citizens Band, 1975-1980, probably for that purpose.  It's not used in

String between two tin cans is better than RG-58........

!

At 10-ft, RG-58 is acceptable up to 1 GHz or so.

>I also saw one of Bill Cheek's posts about using 75-ohm RG-6, used for

RG-6 is superior to both, especially at UHF frquencies.

It does not stand up well to modern high-end portables; but for $90 I
suppose you got a bargain.

As I remember the AR900 (and their notorious US distributor; since
changed) was the reason that Grove stopped carrying the AOR line.

Help. I have a nine month old Bearcat 3000XLT. It doesn't
clearly receive the Norfolk police any more. For example,
one of the frequencies is 859.9875.  It used to sound fine.
Now, the voice is garbled. I put the unit in search mode
between 859.000 and 860.000 and set the step to 5 Khz.
Then I mannually searched up and down. The transmissions
became clear at 859.990, 859.995, and even 860.000.

What's happened? How do I get it fixed?

good audio, and that is straight forward to program.  Prefer RS or

I have a program called "Calculator" that when you enter the handset to
tower frequency, then add 45, it gives you the tower to handset frequency.

I can buy a new scanner localy that will get the phones but it's only
40 channels. which model other than the 800xlt will get the full
800-900 mhz band without loss of frequencys
And if rad shack has one, how hard is it to do the mod.

Thanks all...

        I have just purchased a pro 2006 scanner and want to get a
computer interface for it. I understand my choices are limited, and want
the interface that will fit my needs (wants).
        My main use will be to search and log frequencies while I am away
at work. I would like to be able to sort the resulting hits and use the
info to program the scanner when I have the time to listen.
        What would fit me best? I am aware of the Opto-456 and the CE-232
but I really don't know which would be better. I have never seen an
in-depth comparison of the two.
        Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon Meeks

I have an old document from the Department of Communications that lists
5 channels and they were the ones I listened to. I was trying out a new
scanner recently and set it to scan 30.000 to 30.400 and noticed people
using phones on inbetween frequencies. I also noticed phones advertised
that could scan all TEN channels. I thus worked out that there are now
ten channels as listed above.

:Barry, are those supposed to be the in or the out freq.

They are the base transmit frequencies. The phones transmit on 39.???
Mhz.

The ten I listed are correct and verified by listening.

I take it this is Australian? If so I will admit I am wrong. But where I
live, Portland, Oregon, USA, we use 46-49mHz. I too can verify that the
previous post before your own, Barry, are correct. I admit those listed
freqs may be either Australian or VERY old...none the less, if they are in
the states, your info is not going to help him/her most likely. That is
all I am trying to say... Not trying to cause a fight or anything just
stating that your info probably won't be much help.

The CompuScan 2100 was designed to run with a Commodore 64
using an RS-232 port.

It was furnished with the receiver, cables, and software, and
had a 200 channel capacity.

For a complete review, see "CompuScan/2100 Bearcat Scanning
Receiver," by Joe Desposito, in Jan. 1984 Computers & Electronics
magazine.

Does anybody know of a good scanner frequency database program for
Windows? I have searched and searched to ( almost ) no avail. The one
I did find find was pretty cheesy. I don't need one to control my
scanners, all I want is a good database.

Thanks,

Brian

When your local phone company sends you the Caller ID info when the phone
rings, the information IS NOT DTMF tones. The question asked is "How to
decode DTMF tones" not "how to decode Caller ID info"

ECPA - Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986
        (P.L. 99-508, approved 21 October 1986)
        Amended 18 USC 2510 & 2511
  Made it an offense to listen to cellular, voice paging, aux. broadcast,
  subcarrier, microwave, encrypted or proprietary modulation transmissions.
  It specifically exempted cordless from the ban.

TDDRA - Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act
        (P.L. 102-556, signed 28 October 1992)
        Amended 47 USC 302  (Communications Act of 1934)
  Required the FCC to end certification of cellular capable scanners, i.e.
  ban their import or manufacture as of 26 April 1993.

Digital Telephony Act
       (P.L. 103-414, signed 25 October 1994)
       Amended 18 USC 2510 & 2511
  Added cordless phones to the ECPA ban.


hmmm ... it would appear that October is a bad month for scanner laws.

since others addressed your first questions, I'll respond to the last
one...
Yes that might very well be morse code. Some radio systems have a feature
that transmits the station ID at regular interavals in morse code.  This
allows the station dispatchers to concentrate on the job of dispatching (
or answering phones ) etc... without having to give the station ID's.
Here in Metro Detroit quite often those automated ID's are interrupted by
radio traffic, when the traffic clears the ID starts over again.

I use the banks in my scanner to represent different towns.  When I'm
working in the Prov area, I find that there is a lot of action all
total, when you consider all of the surrounding towns.  Also, you
should be able to get Boston Police from there and that's non-stop!

Yes.  Its the repeater ID, in Morse.  If you can copy code, it makes
it much easier to identify what you're listening to.

Using the oft published codes for converting a flip phone to a receiver
or scanner I have some questions.

After inserting the contact for the center terminal and powering up
bunches of numbers are shown on the screen every second or so.

No combinations of keys that I tried succeeded in putting the phone into
a scanner mode. e.g.
  #
  #55
  #55#

the numbers are just displayed on the screen with # showing up as C.

Any suggestions from those who have made this work?

Schaumburg now uses an 800 MHz trunked system for public safety.  You
should be able to get the freqs from a local Radio Shack dealer.

ps... some of those freqs are digital.

it).  But I am interested in the speed modification you did.  If you or anyone

Warren,

A company called ScannerMaster (1-800-722-6701) carries the COMSEC SA-78
Trunking Tone Eliminator that will do what you want. I ordered one and am
awaiting delivery as we speak.

   Hi fellow radio enthusiasts!!
   I am new to this newsgroup and I need some advice concerning the
purchase of a scanner radio.  I figured if you experts in this
newsgroup couldn't help me...who could?  Anyway, here are my questions:
   First: Does anyone know anything about the Radio Shack model Pro
2040 scanner??  I know it is a new model, and I would like to hear
anyone's opinion of this radio before I purchase it.  Is it a good rig,
is it a "stinker"?  Let me know your opinions, ok?  Also, any
suggestions about other scanners in this price range would be greatly
appreciated!!
  Second question: Does anyone out there have a (reliable) listing for
frequencies in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area?  The listing in Police
Call is VERY limited and some of the frequencies are completely
inaccurate!!  (I am using the 1995 edition!!)
   Well, there it is folks.  Send any and all replies to my e-mail
address or post them here.
   Nice meeting you all...talk to you all soon!!

  73!!

Hello
I just got a 2035 and would like an antenna in the attic.
Would prefer a home made one. If I get a store bought it
would be for an outside mast and I would still want an
inside one for bad weather, etc.
Thanks.

Try the following for information on construction.

Also, I'm emailing you another construction artical provided to me by

If I was AOR, I would improve a fantastic radio by:

1. Use embossed letters on the keyboard
2. Offer 0, 10, 20 and 30 db attenuation (programmable by channel)
3. Create a base port, (like a charger) for charging and for computer
control.  The computer interface is fragile at best.  I installed a
couple of sub-mini jacks on the lower left front case for computer
control using the CX-12.  It was tedious and works well.  The downside
is that these arent sealed type jacks and the chassis breathes.  But for
indoor use it works great.
4. A metal chassis would be nice.  The stock chassis is pretty flimsy.

I should start.  Any recommendations on books or other current information
sources?  I'm very interested on this topic and want to learn as much as I
can on it.  I haven't bought a scanner yet, but I would like to know what
kind I should get.  The obvious place for me would be Radio Shack so maybe a
I could get a model they carry.

Any information, Email me at [[e-mail]]

The Communications Act of 1936 made it legal for one to receive (and
listen to) any electromagnetic transmission that one was able to
receive. Anything. One was prohibited from disclosing what one heard or
using it for personal gain. I am out of touch with current law. It has
been suggested that laws passed since 1986 have modified this freedom.
My question is ... to what extent and are these laws constitutional?
Can one listen to cell phones? Can one listen to portable phones
(46MHz, 900MHz etc)? Can one decode encrypted transmissions? And so
forth ... Does anyone out there in Internet land have a current summary
of what we may legally do and what we may not? Thanks guys and gals and
regards to you all.

    I will trty and make this VERY quick and elemental. I am a practicing
attorney and have a (nonprofessional) interest in the issue. My "read" on this

is that the laws are likely constiutional themselves, but that there are
serious problems with gaining enough evidence to make enforcement practical.
Short of admitting to others what you are doing, using the info received or
otherwise disclsoing yourself in a conspicuous manner there is no way the
authorities can determine whther or not you have violated the law without
infringing on YOUR Fourth Amendment rights.

Is there any way to increase the range other than putting up

Roland:

The Van Nuys area of Los Angeles is served by the Los Angeles City Fire
Department. All 24 of the LAFD's 800 MHz (non-trunked) radio frequencies
are listed at the LAFD Internet Web site. Set your Web browser to URL:

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

Go to the "About the LAFD" section, and choose "Frequency List". In the
Van Nuys area, the most active -local-  frequencies are 3,8,10 and 17.

Sorry, but I can't "officially" help you with the PD frequencies. I might
suggest that you consider one of the many excellent -local- frequency
directories available at area Hobby Shops and Electronic Stores.

Happy Monitoring!

Hi Bill.
I agree with you about multiple scanners being better in highly active
areas.  One 200 channel scanner can only receive one frequency at a
time.  Several 10 to 50 channel scanners can monitor multiple
frequencies.  I lean toward programming them more by subject
(ham/police/fire/medical) but that is personal preferance. And those
frequencies of maximum interest can get programmed into more than one
scanner.  I'd try using the larger scanners for the lowest activity
services and smaller scanners for more active services.  The 200 channel
scanner is nice where you want to have everything programmed but don't
scan all banks at one time.  None of my equipment is new enough to have
computer control but I can see it as a major improvement for maintaining
a useful frequency list.  Just wanted to add my two cents.

another of those long haired, lice infested, dope smokin', coke snortin', meth

cookin', glue sniffin', paint huffin', draft card burnin', Democrat votin',

This is getting so crazy that I can hardly believe it and I
apologize to all of you with the explicit exception if M.A.
I thought you just might want to know what a total jerk
this Michael Alexander twit is just in case any of you were
considering wasting any further time or money listening to
his ranting here or in any other media.  I include here, in
it's entirety, a message I just received from him.  Sounds
kinda threatening wouldn't you say.  Scares me bad!  HAH!
------------------------------------------------------

-I've been thinking Marky baby and I just gotta tell you: Not long ago, I
-wrote a book about computer security (just hit the stores, in fact) and in
-it I caution employers that giving their employees Internet accounts opens
-them (the company) up to all sort of interesting and previously unimagined
-liabilities. I mention, for example, that employees are going to be induced
-to post inflammatory and derogatory messages on newsgroups, which could
-result in legal action. I go on to say that those messages will orginate
-with the company's address as well as often include a signature with the
-employee's name, rank and serial number, so to speak. Imagine, I say to Mr.
-or Ms. Employer, you could be held liable, even sued for these sorts of
-messages. The only way to protect yourself against that is to have a
-written policy that prohibits this sort of behavior--that policy, I add,
-should include a statement about the negative consequences of using the
-company's Internet access, it's info systems and its good name improperly.
-
-I've also kicked around the computer industry quite a bit and I know many

-This is all bald-face speculation, of course. Nothing you said was libelous
-(stupid, but not legally incorrect). Still, I think it would be a nice
-gesture if you posted an apology in the newsgroup for your ill advised
-endorsement of that clown's Copeland's remarks. Whattya think? A nice,
-gracious apology for sticking your nose into something that you did not

I just moved to New Hampshire after living nine years in Warner Robins.
30,000 people in this town and only one grocery store.  Can you believe
it?

Anyway.  I don't have the list anymore, but run to Radio Shack on Russell

that has alll the hot frequencies in the area.

I have a Pro-34 that will not operate on the batteries, but works fine on
the AC adaptor. I looked inside and found L301 and L302 had been smoked!
Does anyone have a schematic that could identify thes parts.   Thanks!!

Helo all....

My scanner finaly went bad and I need to replace it with a new one.
Which ones in the rad-shack line supports cell or can be modified.
Where is the date code, I can't find it on the scanner below
The pro 2037 from what I am told will not work in the cell areas.

Do you know if the 1300 mhz scanner rad-shack puts out will  cover the
full range without skipping parts of the 900mhz band.
Not the new model, the older one there unloading for $369.00

Thanks...

Eyewitness News (ABC)

Fox News (FOX)
Channel 9 (UPN)

I've heard that anybody with scanners could pick up on what the field

I would appreciate any assistance! Thank you.

You can download a Scan*Star DEMO from www.scanstar.com (Signal Intelligence
home page). SS has almost all options available in the demo, but does not
allow freqs with ODD MHz -- 460.1 is OK but 463.1 won't scan in the demo.

There is a mod for the PRO-2006 to create a S-meter.

After glancing at it, it appearred to represent audio levels,
not carrier level.

Is this so? Is there a mod to show true carrier levels?

I have previously made my feelings known about any of Radio Shack's
dealings, but something VERY similar to this recently occured with me.

Police Call is an OK book, but it is basically just licensing
information.  In my area, the listings may be accurate with regard to
licensing, but they are way off with regard to use (and have been for a
few years).  My solution...I put together my own little booklet of
CONFIRMED frequencies.  My booklet contained inputs, outputs, PL tones,
channel IDs, channel usage, callsigns, etc...  It was very detailed.
After printing a few copies on the laser printer, I scurried off to the
local Radio Shack to offer some to them.  The store manager said what I
had put together "was illegal" as it "violated the copyright of Police
Call".  He told me of previous legal proceedings that he had been part of
with regard to a similar situation.  He further stated that he would be
forwarding the details of this incident to his boss for possible legal
action.

After laughing in his face and pointing out a few bits of law, I decided
all was lost and simply left.  I will never shop in that store again.  It
was clear he had no clue what he was talking about.

Before everyone jumps in and says they have never had a problem at their
local RS, I submit that not ALL Radio Shack stores are this way.  I only
speak from experience.  Your mileage may vary!

DOUG

The current radio shack sale has two scanners that are easily modifiable
for cellular.  The pro-46 $169, and the pro-51 $199

For the pro-46 ask to see the scanner put in batteries and turn on the
scanner while holding down the lockout key, and 2, 9.  Then seach through
the bands that appear if one reads 888.??? then this unit has not been
fixed and you can manually search the entire 868.95-896.1 cellular band.
Look for units with a three digit code (found on the back of the unit) of
prior to 11A4.

For the pro-51 which I just purchased these are harder to find. Ask to see
the unit put in batteries. Turn on the scanner holding down the Band key,
and 2, 9  the scanner will go through a start-up mode, while its doing
this hold down lockout and 2, 9.  The scanner after 2 seconds will stop
and frequencies will appear.  Type Manual 23 if this reads 888.??? then
this scanner has not been fixed and you are all set.  A word to the wise,
ask to see at the display model, almost all stores have not sent this
model back for reconditioning.

Better hurry at those prices they won't last long

good luck

What do you mean? We know exactly why.  For the earlier scanners, it is
because Rat Shack management drooled all over the FCC's feet in their
rush to render already legally manufactured scanners unmodifiable for
cellular frequencies.

For the other unmodifieable ones, they simply followed the dictates of the
stupid law.

I flew to Chicago over the holidays and took my scanner on board with me.  On
the flight to Chicago they said it could not be used during take-off or
landing, but could be used at other times.  On the return flight they said
operation of _any_ radio during the flight was prohibited.  Same airline and

Since it's been a topic of discussion in the past, I should add that I had no

Actually FAR 91.21 prohibits the use of ANY portable electronic device
including receivers.  There are specific exceptions for things like
hearing aids and pacemakers.  Also excepted from the restriction is any
device that the airline (aka the certificate holder) has determined will
not cause interference.  The pilot in command may make determinations on
his/her own but should not violate the airline's policy.

The Uniden/Bearcat BC9000XLT and Icom R7100 both have AGC (automatic
gain control).

The effect of AGC in the R7100 can be readily seen if
you connect a spectrum analyzer or panadaptor to the 10.7 MHz IF
output jack and watch the amplitude of *all* the signals in the
passband decrease when you tune across any strong signal.

Neither radio has external controls to disable AGC nor to adjust the
attack and decay times.

In the BC9000XLT, transistor Q36 serves as the AGC control
amplifier.  You might try defeating the output of Q36 to defeat
the AGC, or add a potentiometer to it's output to create an IF gain
control.

Altering the AGC in the R7100 looks easy, too, and you should
read the R7100 service manual, which contains a good explanation
of how the AGC time constants are changed depending on the mode.

   > ...can the modes be manually selected?

Yes, in both models.

no real problem on ANY of the airlines I travel with scanner all the time.
SCanners will not interfere with avionics. Have taken it with me many
times in a 210 and used it as a secondary receiver! In a 210 the scanner
is right next to the avionics vs in a large jet it's much farther away!

being a new owner of a opto 456 i am having a hell of time
deciding what software to use with it and my pro2006. i have
tried the demo's from scanwear,ssi,comp.aided tech but with
most of the feature disabled its still hard to decide.

what i would like out of the software is win95 based but dos ok
some means of graphical spectrum analysis(log what ever you want
to call it)
and all the auto logging stuff and search options

i am partial to the scanwear software but find it doesn't
display sig strength and doesnt lock on signal when in scan
it appears not to have a timing adjustment similar to scancat6
these problems i don't know if they are because it is only a demo.

in conclusion i am looking for opinions endorsements recommendations
from users of the above software and how well they work with pro2006

thanks in advance

Does anyone know the police radar frequencies? The speed cameras
in Australia are apparently from Holland, and use 24gHz.
I have a 24gHz transciever module with modulator input,
is it of any use? (If you know what I mean.)

I knew people would say I'm wrong, but, freq hopping is now classified as a
Spread Spectrum technique according to the Military, DoD, and Mil
contractors.

Your definition of spread spectrum below is correct and is the definition I
would give if asked what SS is. But these new 900MHz phones advertise SS.
I did some reaserch a few months ago and found that SS is defined as "any
modulation scheme that produces a spectrum for the transmitted signal much
wider than the bandwidth of the information to be trasmitted
independantly of the bandwidth of the information bearing signal". So,
now freq hopping falls into the category of ss. There are now three type
of ss
1. Time Hopping--SS(TH)
2. Freq Hopping--SS(FH) The method 900MHz phones use.
3. Direct Sequence--SS(DS) The method you defined


I was attempting to clear up some confusion people have on what type of
SS these phones use. A lot of people believe they are using Direct Sequence.

Hi all..

Can anybody help repair or experienced a Uniden MR8100 that only
displays some "!" on the screen when powered up and all the lights come
on.  The unit will not respond to anything, I heard about a multiple
reset button sequence but can't remember it.  I would appreciate any
information before I have to ship it out for repair.

Thanks in advance...

I am aware of problems with the serial interface and I Have even
ordered a few extra chips to fix it.  Thing is, I no longer have a
MR8100   When it went tits up was it during programming?

It does  sound like the memory or CPU  either case it will need a bit
of work.
Question, any audio from it?  Can you try and program it from the
serial cable after powering it up and see what it does?

As others replied, the low power handheld talks to a high power big
radio in the car (the "vehicular extender") on a special freq. (which
is the one you want to scan) , which then repeats it to the dispatch
base on the regular freq.  This allows the officer to talk to his
dispatch with only his low powered handheld.  This also works in
reverse, as the car radio retransmits the dispatch station to the
portable.  In California, the Highway Patrol is on low band, and
portables wouldn't do much good away from the station.

Scanning the extender freq. will only work for you if:

1:  The officer has it turned on.

The motorola version doesn't run unless it's switched on.  Officers
patrolling or sitting on the side of the road watching for speeders
often don't turn it on because they don't need it.  When in the car
they just use the car radio.

Most only turn it on when they get out of their car.  By then they
already have somebody and they're fairly harmless to you!

2:  You get close.

These are low power radios.  I can usually only hear then 1/4 mile
away at best with a good receiver.

I own the bct-2,bct-7 and a valentine one. The bearTracker is fun to play
with but is by no means an alternative to a radar detector.

Well, I can take issue with this.  Take Missouri for example.  Their
Highway Patrol extenders retransmit the dispatch on 154.905 and I was
picking this freq up (Yes, with HP traffic) at distance of about three miles.

Having owned more scanners in the last 18 years than I care to admit I
must say I like the Beartracker BCT-7.  If you travel from state to state
then it is pretty nice to be able to just select the state code and away
you go.  I think the extender detector works pretty well..... but I don't
think my expectations were very high:-o

On the other hand it would not be the scanner I would pick if it was the
only one I could have.  When you are in your home area you will find
freqs it may not have programed and you will have many that you will want
to lockout.  It would be a much better scanner if it had more private
banks for putting in your own sets of freqs.

Hi Mark;

I've been spending quite a bit of time hunting this one down.  When WAPD moved

to their new building (courtesy of ME and my fellow WA taxpayers) they haven't

quite finished a new radio tower.  Story is that until the new freqs and tower

are straightened out, they are using the Greenfield 800mhz freqs.  I spent a
lot of time going thru these freqs but really couldn't come up with anything
specific.

I called WAPD and asked, and they said it was 860.4625.  This is--of course--a

trunked frequency, and I don't really understand how that works.  At any rate,

I saw another post here, so give it a go on those freqs.  The remaining
Greenfield freqs are:

811, 812, 814, 815, 856, 857, 859, 860 all suffixed .4625.
You'll notice that 860.4625 and 858.4625 switch the trunk about every week and

will need to be locked out.

A "MOD" (short for MODIFICATION) is where a radio or item is changed
from the original specs by (usually) other than factory folks.

Hope this helps

One more time...........

The radio doesn't cover this range because the first i.f. is around 600
MHz. That was chosen because there is nothing interesting there. It needs
that frequency range for the i.f. to make it a better radio than the ones
that can cover that range. Stick with the good radio.

you consider it's best? Any advice in it's use as far as operations,

  I seemed to have gotten attached to the count feature.  Press 'count' once a
nd
get the total hits for any scanning channel.  Hold down 'count' for 2-3 second
s
and you will be able to scroll through each bank and look at what channels are
programmed, locked out, or niether.

Much better radio than my old RS 2006.

I also have one for sale for $300 plus shipping.  It is new, never used, but a
m
waiting for missing pieces( antenna, and adapter).

I am looking for a high end scanner/receiver.
Please drop me a note on what might be available
and the condition, etc.

Mainly looking now at the ICOM R7000 or R7100 as I have
heard lots of good reports. Don't know too much about
the AR3000 still but have heard some good reports.
I might also be interested in the ICOM 100 if one
is available.

Thanks for all those who have sent me their suggestions.

I used to use the Pogsac decoding program, PD102.EXE. I found it
on a simtel-mirror site in the /ms-dos/pager directory. In the
manual they tell you how to make your own simpel decoder with a
LM741 some resistors, capacitors and diodes.

Hope this is of any help,

Tom

The impedance match isn't important.  I'd go with RG6 for a run that long.
It's cheap and it works.

According to my information, the 2034 doesn't even HAVE 800Mhz capability, so
you can't modify it to pick up something you don't have capability for.

Your only chance with that scanner would be to acquire a converter (Ramsey or
Grove) that converts 800-900 Mhz and outputs 400-500 Mhz to your scanner.

I have a 3 year old AOR AR-1000XLT hand held scanner for sale or trade.
This radio is in like new condition, with 2 vynil cases, AOR rubber duck
and RS telescoping antennae, 120V wall adapter and 12V car power cord, 4
AA NiCD baterries and manual.  The radio has 1000 channels in 10 banks of
100, freq. lockout in search, 10 search ranges, user programmable search
steps (5.0KHz to 995.0KHz), AM/NFM/WFM modes, .5MHz to 1300MHz coverage
(uncut), linkable search banks, priority channel scan, and delay on/off
(2 sec. universal delay, applies to all or no channels), display light,
and freq. lockout in scan.  The radio is about the size of a Uniden
Bearcat BC-100/200XLT.
I will consider trading this radio for a RS PRO-2006 in very good to
excellent condition, with only the diode mods (cellular and speed mods by
cutting the diodes behind the key pad), or a BC-2500/3000XLT handheld.
Other radios will be considered if of equal value.  I will also sell the
radio for $300.00 firm, with 2nd day UPS Blue shipping included in price.
Drop me a line if interested here or at [e-mail]

Can someone please explain to me how to update the band plan on my AR8000.  I
have a text file with the correct plan but I dont think if I dumped it to my
scanner it would work.

0072.010000     0020.0000       NFM     Fixed Services

It couldnt be that easy could it?

I have been looking a the Service manual for the AR8K to detemine
if its possible to use the SSB 4.0 KHz filter while in the AM mode.
It looks like it could be done but would require some cuts of the
circuit board and a switch. I am aware of the AR8000DX filter mod
but that uses the connector for the DS8000 and I don't want to give up
that feature.

Richard I have one too but haven't experienced any problems with it
yet.  I believe it has a 1 year warranty, you may want to give Uniden
a call and see what they say first before you attempt to fix it
yourself.

I just got a used Bearcat 210XL, and I am new to these scanner
newsgroups. I was wondering if there is anyway to modify this scanner for
more rangers, it seems to be lacking quite a few of them. Also does
anyone know what ranges are default with this model, and what ranges I
will gain (if I can modify).

This is not an issue.  In non-encrypted service areas, the local hams
use ham radios and frequencies to communicate inter-service (i.e.
police to fire, etc.)  This method of operation is SOP, regardless of
whether or not the primary service is encrypted.  In no case is a ham
given a police radio and asked to communicate directly on the police
system, any more than a police officer being given a ham radio to use.
Us hams have never had a communications handicap, (except within our
own ranks!) rather, our communications abilites have been demonstrated
to be superior to most city services (as is should be).  It would be
up to the authorities in charge to contact the local hams for further
assistance in case of emergency, which information would not be
readily known, due to encryption.

There most likely won't be a ham radio hobby as we know it more much
longer, now that the FCC is going away.

No Drew, the ham bands would be turned back into commercial
frequencies once we start acting like children (as if some don't
already).  If the local authorities can't depend upon the hams for
public service (a charter of the institition of ham radio), then we
shouldn't be holding onto them.  After all, the ham bands represent a
huge chunk of prime bandwidth.

There won't be ham radio or scanner hobbies much longer folks.

Let's see, the cheapest place for an AR-8000....

How about a Motel 6?  Under a freeway overpass?  In a booth a Denney's with

Oh, you MEAN a place to acquire an AR-8000 inexpensively!  Sorry, I couldn't

 Bearcat was one of the most popular scanners. Any replies as to why NOT

  There is alot of confusion going on about the cordless frequencies.
Obviously the North American frequencies are 46-49 MHz
and Australian is in the 30MHz range. Both are right depending on where
you live.

I suggest using Microsoft Excel  It works for me and I maintain
a database for Ontario Canada with it.  I've tried others and
Excel seem to be the better one.

I know that numerous police departments go to some lengths to make it
harder on scanner listeners. The Richardson, Texas PD near here
transmits a long MCW modulated squelch tail everytime a unit un-keys
his mike. However, the trunk system immediately assigns the next
communication on this "channel assignment" on another frequency. This
makes it very difficult to monitor their system unless you have
multiple scanners or use ScanStar with multiple scanners.

It is in fact, a big problem.  We're not talking about someone
stalking around your yard, looking for a way to break in.  Someone who
is trying to pick up a kidnapping victim, or staking out a store has
an advantage by using a scanner to hear what the control dispatcher is
having investigated.

Has anyone had any experience with the DSP Noise Filters available out
there from companies like MFJ and JPS?

Are they useful for cutting-out static and similar background noise from
the audio?  I am an idiot right now as far as DSP technology goes, so I'm
just searching for information.

I work around some busy medical centers and was wondering if someone knew
 the frequencies that the flight for life helicopters use (both the pilot
and the med. staff to the hospital). I am specifically interested in the
frequencies used in the Houston area.

Thanks,

Dave,
Police Call lists a frequency for flight-for-life here in Milwaukee,
WI. However, I've never heard anything on that frequency. I have,
however, heard FFL on my local "firecom" or "mutual aid" channel on
several occasions. My brother reports having heard them on one of the
med unit <-> hospital frequencies....

Good luck!

There is probably a "home" frequency for the unit. Maybe someone has it.
Try also the "mercy" channels (155.340 and 155.400) for inflight use.
Don't forget the 463 Mhz paramedic freqs listed in "Police Call Radio
Guide."  Air freqs that might be used are 123.025 (helicopter air/air),
123.05 and 123.075 (Unicom at heliports).

Herman Hospital "Life Flite" heliport freq is listed as 123.05 as is
Methodist Hospital.

I got a look inside and chatted with the pilot of the Loyola University
med chopper at Meigs Field in Chicago one summer. Their radio is
programmable to communicate with any municipality that they might have to
assist. That may be the case within your area. So you might also hear them
on a mutual aid police or fire freq at the location of an incident.

Last I heard Herman Hospital LifeFlight Houston was using a 800mHz trunk
for it's primary comm.  You can however monitor quite a lot of traffic
and dispatch on the following freqs however...

155.3400  HAERN (Hospital Ambulance Emergency Room Network)
[Used by nearly all local (Harris County) Hospitals, EMS, Life Flight]

163.2500  Herman Hospital Emergency Medical Paging
(Life Flight/Trauma Alert)

123.0250  UNICOM (Clearance Coordination)
(Life Flight / HPD FOX / Media Helicopters)

123.0500 UNICOM (Helicopters) (Herman Hospital Life Flight / Media
Helicopters)

128.8500  Herman Hospital - Life Flight Control
(Helo Status / Patient Reports)

Anybody know any additional info on Life Flight ?  As far as I know, the
helos are numbered Lifeflight 1, 2, 3 & 4.  One of the LF helos had a
serious mechanical problem a few years ago and it resulted in an on board
fire.  The pilot (what a guy !) made a quick emergency landing in the
parking lot of one of the local malls and no one was hurt (bet they had
to clean out some drawers though :)

I am also trying to figure out Houston Fire Department (HFD) EMS Medical
(A, B, etc..) protocols, any have any info ???

I was just in Las Vegas for CES and found the scanning interesting. I
used a list provided by Radio Shack, but wouldn't mind having a better
list.

What did I hear?  Some woman called 911 because she had the clapp (sp)!
I heard a good failure to yield that ended up in a car chase near the
airport, at times crossing the runway. A PD car was lost in the chase
due to loosing an oil pan while driving off road. The perps (who drove a
stolen car) bailed at the Luxor. Two got caught and two just blended in
with the crowd. Luxor security was notified to guard the exits. [Would
of been nice to have that freq!]

About a year ago when I was going through one of the local BBSs, I found
a .dbf file (about 10M) of business frequencies just for the state of
Indiana.  There were two other files for Illinois and Michigan.  They
were in a format similar to POLICE CALL, but also had some fields that
police call didn't.

The only thing I have found on the net so far have been sites to buy such
lists.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find more files such as
this?

Price is now $450.00 US plus shipping.

The MVT 8000 is 200 channel ac/dc scanner with a mounting bracket for
mobile use and comes with a cigarette lighter adapter although it can be
hard wired.
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.

John,

You might consider using the RayoVac Renewal type batteries. I have
replaced ALL of my nicad s with them! Also, they are a little bit
longer than the nicads so maybe they would work better for you. Also,
check to make sure there is not a reset button behind or near the
battery compartment. My Pro 37 reset button is right next to the
batteries and I reset all my memes accidentally one time. VERY
annoying!!
Hope all is well with you,

Steve

  What good is the password anyway? It can eaisly be reset by anyone.
The way the password reset feature SHOULD work, is that when resetting
the password, the freqs in the protected banks are deleted.

It all has to do with the ECPA law forbidding the sale of new scanning
receivers capable of receiving cellular telephone frequencies.

Like other scanners which existed before the cellular ban and are still
sold, there are two versions in existence: the original, and the current
"consumer" model which has been castrated. In the case of the R-1, the
"government" version has continuous coverage, and the consumer version has
a gap between 800-900 MHz.


That being said - the R1 is a radio whose main attraction is small size,
and its performance is a series of design compromises nmecessary to
achieve that.

Why? I have always heard that the ICOM R1 was a great unit. Since I'm now
looking for a scanner, I'm interested in your opinion...

Oh boy, sit back and watch these notes fly! I think you will find some
very strong opinions on the R1, most of them not very good. Without being
technical, because I'm not technical, I own both an R1 and a AR8000 and
the AR8000 wins hands down. The advantage of the R1 is size but it gives
up a lot to be that small.

Not a problem in New Zealand, the government does restrict what we can
listen to.  If the governments of this planet what to restrict access
to information for privacy reasons, then why do they all own monitoring
stations. NZ has a monitoring station at Waihopi, just outside Blenheim.

I actually have the sister to this one ... I think its the PRO 23.... covers V
HF Hi and AIR
and I have no use for it at all...If anyone wants it make me an offer! Works g
reat and is in
good shape..I even have lots of VHF-HI band freq's for it. Good radio for a ru
ral area
that has not yet gone to trunking or as an Aircraft monitor (where you dont ne
ed the
flexibility of synthsized scanners)..E-Mail me if yr interested........

I recently bought a scanner called a trident. As it was 2nd hand it came
with no manuals or documentation at all.
I was quite please with the buy as it seems to cover 0.5-1000MHz inclusive
with no gaps and it cost me 125ukp.
I would like to know if anyone else has this scanner and any general info
on it.

Okay, calm down. Now listen closely. On the wall, next to the headboard of the
bed is a button. Push it. Hear that buzzer? Fine. Now in a minute a nice
Orderly will come to your room and you tell him that Dr. Prochnow said to give

Lessee...  The 6M Amateur Radio band is 50-54 MHz. (your callsign??)
           TV Ch 2 starts at 54 MHz
           TV channel bandwidth is 6MHz

Cellular restoration in the pro-51 is easy provided that your scanner has
not been sent back to be reconditioned while on the shelves of Radio
Shack.  Some say you can tell if yours have been fixed by the date code (3
digit number on the back under the belt clip) but I have found this to be
unreliable.

To modify your pro-51 turn off the scanner.  Turn it back on while holding
down the "band" key and the 2, 9 keys. (all your programmed frequencies
will be erased by this procedure) This sends the scanner into a start-up
mode while its doing this hold down the "lockout" and 2, 9 keys all
together.  A frequency will appear.  Type in "manual" "23" if when you do
this your scanner reads 888.9600mhz then your unit has not been
reconditioned and you can listen to the full 868-896 cellular band by
using the up down arrows.  If this modification works I recommend that you
program the low frequency 868.9500mhz into monitor memory and from there
program it into regular memory allowing you to easily search this band do
the same with the  high end freq 896.1mhz by doing this you can use the
up/down arrows to search very easily through this band.

Good luck my three digit code read 12A3 and it works fine I have a friend
whose code is 7A4 and it works too.  If yours does not work and you want
this band return your scanner and get another one but prior to purchasing
preform the above procedure in the store to see if it has the band and you
can't go wrong.

OK, I plead guilty as charged...

I know I've seen frequency lists for the Mall of America (Bloomington,
MN) posted here, along with discussion about whether scanning is
tolerated by mall security.

Unfortunately, I let 'em slide since I had no plans to visit anytime
soon. As you've guessed by now I'm sure, I'll be in Bloomington
(business trip to visit Kavouras re: a weather satellite data
reception and interpration system) and am taking my wife and kids
along for a "hotel vacation" (I am being forced to stay at the Embassy
Suites <g>).

Anyway, I've "downloaded all headers" from alt.radio.scanner and
rec.radio.scanner and I don't see any references to the Mall of
America. I grabbed the FAF list from oak and don't see them there
either.

I'd appreciate if someone could repost frequency lists for MoA for my
listening pleasure next week. Thanks!

I have a need to disable the AGC in my PRO-26 scanner.  Does anyone
have any ideas about how to do it.  I see very little info on the
PRO-26 on the net.  I guess it's just too new.

Is anyone out there using or has ever used the Scanmaster
DA301 antenna for scanning?  Is it any good or is it garbage?
Its from ACE Communications in Indianapolis, IN.  They're the same company
that sell the AR1000XLT.  Your comments will

Most hams understand that the best way to stop a repeater jammer,
is to ignore the transmissions.  Jammers need reinforcement to
confirm that they are irritating other users.

I would think that this technique would work with newsgroups.

If someone posts a message that annoys you, try emailing your
angry retort to yourself.  It will satisfy your need for revenge,
will keep message traffic on the group to a minimum, and will
prevent the saboteur from gaining any pleasure from his
actions.

I prefer to read scanner messages, instead of the latest arguments between
various parties.  Perhaps if people want to argue, it would be better to
send such communication via email.

     The all new Bear Tracker Model BCT-10 will be on store shelves soon.

It looks like a radar detector, it acts like a radar detector, but it's not,
it's the new Bear Tracker.  No larger than a radar detector designed to mount
on the windshield or visor it gives the user an alarm when within 3 miles of
most highway patrol cars, even when their radar is OFF!

Finally an answer for those pesky highway patrol airplanes!

The Bear Tracker is designed to take over where your radar detector leaves
off.  This is the first Bear Tracker with Canadian RCMP and local police
frequencies preprogrammed.

QVC will launch this new product, which won an Innovative New Product Award at

CES last week in Las Vegas, in mid February.  Soon after it will be in most
retail outlets such as WalMart, Best Buy, etc. and in most mail order
catalogues.

If you want to be the first on your block to have one, or if you just want
more information on the new  Bear Tracker you can call 1-800-248-5441.

If you tried to use it prior to building the interface, you probably
blew the transistor. I had the same problem and Opto sent me a N/C
replacement. It's located near the Tape out on the rear of the board.
On mine it was obvious that it was blown just by looking at it.

I haven't limited success monitoring satcom. I have heard 269.950 NFM has
been active lately (spanish voices). I believe the step size for Satcom
would be 5KHz on a 2006. I understand that a helical antenna works best.

hi
there is a shop in Lisburn  N. Ireland which sell down converters  for
around ú49 GB  this unit converts cellular freq down to the 130 - 160
megs  it is infact an antenna  about  9" long and takes 2 x AAA batts
no mods to the scanner at all.  it has a BNC connection  on the base
and will not only fit  any scanner but they showed me it working on a
cheap ú19.99  multi band radio  that shop is called  E-WORLD if your
interested  [phone] or if you want you can e-mail me and i'll
take it down to them for  u ...          what shipping will be ???

Hi

I am looking for the programming information for the Bearcat 250
scanner to extend its receive coverage.

I have no manual for it.

    Yes they do work.  I have one and it is lots of fun.  Please don't
type all in CAPS as it is like SHOUTING at us.  Use upper and lower

    Good luck and welcome to the net! :^D

Hi: I'm curious as to why both of you offered your freq compilations to
your local Radio Shack in the first place. Were these to be for sale or
were you guided by a sense of public spiritedness? I ask that because I'm
not surprised by the managers' reaction, which would seem normal under the
circumstances reasoning about copyright violation etc. was faulty, but I
could see how they would think that it was unusual that someone would want
to offer them what amounts to free merchandise to pass out. And I think
that wanting to sell PC is a valid point of view. I'm not saying you or
the managers did anything wrong--I just don't understand what transpired.

My local RS sells a freq sheet for $.50 obviously copied out of another
scanner book. Now that's copy right enfringement. However, it's also a useful
thing to have.

Does RS stand for "REALLY STUPID" ?

The other thing that I really Hate that if you buy something from the
REALLY STUPID store they always want your personal info.
Even when you pay cash, and if you do not give it to them they get real
upset.

A few have brief lists. When I go to a new base I'll usually stop by a
Radio Shack close to base and they're usually pretty cool, I explain I'm
from out of town and don't want *all* of the freqs for the area just a
few. Most have a modest list and certainly not all. I gave the local RS a
list and my WWW list and they said they'd give it out and use it. Most
manager know Police Call is a good deal and people will buy it, I get it
almost every year it's a great ref. My suggestion is if you go to a RS
and they don't have any lists, go to another if poss.

Back when they used to give away catalogs for free, the salespeople got a
bounty for every name and address they collected (or so I was told by someone
at a local RS).  Since they now charge for the catalog and hardly ever send
out sales flyers, the collection of name/address doesn't make a lot of sense.

Radio Shack sold a relabeled 890XLT. The case is similar to a 9000. The
890 is a very poor scanner.

I didn't catch the original post so you may know this already, but the
PRO-46 can be mod'ed for cell...just cut a wire and hold down a few keys
and turn it on...walla walla, wa ... cell is there with the 30kHz steps...
test mode as I have heard... but they are still in the stores and still
work with the mod as far as I know.

Good Luck,

You never know.  Last July I found a 4A2 date Pro-43 in a local Shack,
and the summer of 94 a Pro-2006 at the same store.  The funny thing
is, it's the highest-volume store in the area!

This is not necessarily true.  My roomate and I both just bought
modifiable PRO-2026's from Radio Shack on sale for $139.  The key is
to find one that has a date code before April of '94.  The date code
is a small white sticker on the back of the unit and on the packing
box.

for Buffalo N.Y. and Western N.Y.. The List is over 800,000 bytes
long. I have put this list into a small
computer program and also included the 900 codes and 10 codes for the
Niagara Regional Police.
This program will work in Windows or DOS, You don't have to run this
program to see the list of
Ontario Scanner Frequencies, the list is in text form and you can run
it in your own Word Processor if
you like.The program that you receive has a Search feature in it that
will search for a Frequency or a
Word, Also it has Auto-Scroll, you can auto-scroll through the list by
holding down the right mouse
button, or by pressing the number keys on your key board 1 through 9,
the higher the number the
faster it will scroll through the list. You can also page up and down
through the list.

The Program comes on a 3-1/2 INCH 720-K disk that will self ex-tract
into its own directory or into
any directory on your hard drive you wish.
You can run it from Windows or Dos, it will make it's own icon and
place it into the Windows Screen
for you. Price: $15.00 dollars


Also have Scanner frequencies for many Cities and States in the
U.S.A.. and Canada Tell me what
State or City in the U.S.A. Or Canada you want and depending how large
the list is will dictate how
much I charge you . If the list that you want is not to large I can if
you want send it buy E-.Mail to you
in either one part or several parts. If the list is to big to split up
I can send it through the mail to you on
a computer disk or Computer print out.

No PST, GST, OR Shipping Charges

Hay I am...You must have missed the first post. The above was my reply
to the guy who wanted to sell frequencies.  I not selling...at least
not yet. When I do it will be more then the information I've provided
on the web page.

I am though thinking of printing out a liminated "cheet sheet" with
Ontario frequencies for emergency services and codes etc.

Thanks for the detailed info...  I had this test mode written down
somewhere, but misplaced it quite a while back.

Maybe you'll have better luck than I at figuring out what this stuff
is, but you know about the L/O-WX combo to give you a batter check??

Well, pressing some of the buttons gives you numbers that are in the
same format as the battery check indicator.. but I have no idea what
they do.

Pushing buttons 1-8 I think it was, give you numbers... 0 I think it
was returns you back to the battery level reading... and I think it
was SCAN that did something odd.

Any luck with this stuff, lemme know... I'm interested in exploiting
my SC150 for everything that it's got.

Thanks

             TRICK THE ICOM R71A BELOW 100 KHZ

            Copyright 1985 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

 The ICOM R71A general coverage receiver is designed for VLF
 reception down to about 97 kHz.

 The following steps will confuse  the  microprocessor-based
 controller  sufficiently  to  permit  reception down to 0.0
 kHz:

   1.  If all 32 memory channels  contain  frequencies,  use
       the FUNC and CLEAR buttons to clear a memory channel.

   2.  Place VFO/M switch into the M (Memory) position.

   3.  Using all the manual dexterity you can  muster,  rock
       the   MAIN   TUNING   knob   back  and  forth,  while
       simultaneously rocking the MEMORY-CH  rotary  control
       to  switch  back  and  forth between a memory channel
       with a frequency in it and a clear memory channel.

       Continue rocking both the controls until a  frequency
       of 0.000.0 appears on the digital display.

   4.  Depress the WRITE button.  This stores the 0.000  MHz
       frequency in a memory channel.

       You can now rotate the MAIN TUNING knob clockwise  to
       tune up from 0.000 MHz to the frequency you want.  Be
       careful:  if  you  rotate  the   MAIN   TUNING   knob
       counterclockwise,  the  radio will immediately revert
       to 29.999 MHz.

 To tune below 100 kHz in the future, just recall the  0.000
 MHz  frequency  from  the memory channel and use the tuning
 knob to tune upward.  That way, you don't have to  use  two
 hands every time you tune to a VLF frequency.

 I used a Wavetek 180  sweep/function  generator  to  verify
 that the R71A is indeed receptive to signals below 100 kHz.

Sorry about the blank post.

I have a simple question for the group (I hope).
Can I bring my Hand Held Scanner to the US when
I come over on vacation this March.

TIA,
Stu.

Hi Stu:

As far as I know, there is no law prohibiting a non-US
citizen from bringing a scanner for his or her OWN use
into the US.  However, due to the ECPA, I would bring
whatever papers proving ownership along with you.

Also, there are some states here (Florida, among
others) that prohibit mobile use other than by licensed
hams.  Where are you planning to visit?

Welcome to the USA! (in advance of course)

Hey there Ron.

        Well, taking directly from the Beyond Police Call book from RS (highly
reccommended), I found the Disney world freq's for you. they are as
follows according to the book:

WALT DISNEY WORLD
        151.655 Buena Vista Const.
        462.675 Buena vista District Maint.
        461.100 Cypress walk
        461.900 Double Dekka Lines
        461.875 Grosh Senic Studios
        462.475 Reedy Creek Utilities
        462.575 "ops-2" Monorail
        464.400 Travel Center
        151.895 20,000 Leagues
        461.300 Parades
        461.600 Resorts/ Fort Wilderness
        462.550 "ops-1" Staff Paging
        462.625 "ops-3" Transport
        462.650 Maintenance
        463.750 &
        464.125  SECURITY (my favorite)
        463.975 Entertainment/ Maint.
        464.800 Taxi


                Scanning in the Magic Kingdom is a lot of fun. You'll hear some pretty
weird stuff. By the way, in New Orleans Square there is a exclusives
only club called "Club 33". It was started by Walt himself and is the
only place in the park that serves alcohol. For a $10,000 a year cost.

Have fun. If you have any cool freq's that you'd like to trade, please
write me back.

                        -Bob

Good idea. What a person might do is use 2 thin pieces of glass and
use some frosted plastic between them. Then possibly (not sure of the
room in there), use some bright grain of wheat bulbs and edge light
the whole mess. Kinda like they do on watches. For better esthetics a
person could put a bulb on all 4 edges to more evenly distribute the
light.

Just my $.02

Last I heard, they were the low-power repeaters that broadcast the
car radio to a handheld nearby. F'rinstance, my locals use 37.100Mhz
for base-to-car and 453.8375 for car-to-handheld, thereby extending
the car radio a short distance (100 meters).

Having the mobile extender freq in your car scanner enables you to
hear traffic as well as a cruiser radio hears it.

Thats correct...however, be warned that some types of mobile repeaters only
go active when the officer steps out of his car. Therefore, if you are monitor
ing this
freq. you may hear nothing untill he steps out of his car to give you the tick

Cell images, noise, stuff that sounds like trunking control signals,
lots of weak voice signals.

Did you just stumble upon them or did you see them published someplace
or did you see the license application or something else entirely?

Is there a published "use" for them?

Thanks for the freqs!

Interesting. The tower appears to be complete, antennas and all.
Probably something INSIDE the building that isn't quite finished yet.

Interesting. My daughter goes to gymnastics class about two blocks
north of the new building on Saturday mornings and I was going to stop
in this Saturday and ask...but didn't know if they'd appreciate the
question. I may stop anyway just to see the new building. I like the
statue out front...

A "mod" is a modification, a change to an instrument that allows it to work
better or differently than the way it was delivered from the factory.

I think you can even add 27.490 on that list of itinerants to complete it.

You can include 154.600 for effect also. It's widely used as an
intinerant, as is 154.570. (tho theyre esscentially low power
commercial freqs) 464.50 and .550 have a corresponding "input" freq of
5 mhz higher, making them fall into the 5 mhz band split for UHF.

GR>I might also be interested in the ICOM 100 if one

Because of new employment obligations, I am no longer using my
R7100, so I'm selling it and the other following items for a
package price of $1590.  I want to point out that this is no
ordinary R-7100.  The following mods have been performed on this
radio.

*    The Deltacom computer interface has been internally
     installed in the radio with a 9-pin serial socket on the
     rear panel.  All you need for computer operation is a serial
     cable and software (please note that both the Deltacom and
     ScanStar Commercial software is included).

*    12VDC coaxial input has been added to the rear panel, thus
     facilitating easier connection in mobile applications.

*    Scan/Search speed up.  The crystal has been replaced,
     resulting in greatly improved performance.


ICOM R7100 (unblocked 800 MHz) -  Current price is $1688.

     Includes original box, all manuals, AC cord, DC cigarette
     lighter plug.

MB-23 R7100 Carrying handle    -  Current price is $11

UT-36 R7100 Voice Synthesizer  -  Current price is $54

Deltacom computer interface    -  Current price is $349

Registered ScanStar Commercial -  Current price is $129

If purchased new this package would cost over $2000.  Please E-
Mail if interested.

1 meter for the reflector and director elements.
50 cm each side for the driven element.
This of course is roughly how you would build a transmitting antenna, and
will work well on the receiving end.

  Actually, this frequency is so close to the 2 meter amateur radio
band that a 2 meter Yagi should work well for it.  You can pick up
used 11 element (a common length) 2 meter beams at hamfests for
in the $10-$30 (US$) range.

Most of them are either recently discontinued, or they were discontinued last
year after the change to the ECPA (April 1994).  Many "older" (restorable)
models were still out there in the distribution chain, and it has become a
"game" to locate them.  The thrill of the hunt, so to speak, and definitely no

longer in the catalogs.

I COULD be wrong, but I believe that not all 900 Mhz phones use digital
transmission or spread-spectrum.  In fact, I have trouble finding
spread-spectrum phones in the stores these days... I remember seeing a
few many months ago, but they were expensive compared to the others (usu.
$300+).

The 900 Mhz phones generally use the 902-928MHZ band set-aside for
amateur radio, experimental stuff, and low-power phones and junk.  Some
wireless LANs use this band as well, though they are almost always
spread-spectrum.

Each manufacturer selects their own frequencies when they assign
"channels", I believe.  I saw some posted here once, but I don't have
them anymore.

I know where the cordless phone frequencies are in the 43-49 MHz area, but
does anyone know the cordless phone frequencies in the 900 MHz band? I'm
sure there is some good listening there as well. I just need to know where
to look.

Did all you scanner-users read that? BOLLOCKS I say!

There is a program around which uses the audio-out of your scanner, and an
easy to build interface to your PC, you can read messages all day.
If you (or anyone) needs it, I'll post it here. Just ask.

Actually, anyone who uses any form of electronic messaging that isn't
encrypted should have their head checked if they object to others
intercepting it. All this stuff is sent in the clear in the public's
spectrum. The only people stupid enough to believe that a
politically-inspired law will prevent people from listening are
politicians and cellular executives. It's the difference between
sending confidential information through the mail on a postcard vs. a
sealed envelope.

======================================
As long as the attic doesn't have a metal roof, there's no problem with
it being there.
A discone is a good antenna, for what it does. The discone design is
meqant to be a very wide-band antenna; it has no gain to speak of, and
it's omnidirectional. If this is what you want, it's great.
Other antennas will have different characteristics. Many have gain
(better ability to suck signals out of the air). They get this gain
different ways. Some are narrow-band antennas, some are directional, some
are combinations of directional and wide- or narrow-band antennas.

Which is best? The one that best serves *your* needs.

If you are, for example, in a large city with signals coming from all
around, an omnidirectional antenna would probably be best.
If, on the other hand, you live in the boonies, a directional antenna
would probably serve you better, so you can aim the antenna towards the
area where the signals are coming from. In that case, gain would be a
strong consideration, also.
Hope this helps...

Bill

I bought a Jcom converter but it doesn't really do the job.  I broke down
 yesterday and bought the Opto level converter.  Havn't had a chance to
see if it works.

Hello All: A few questions I will throw out to the group.
1. Using the above equipment in car can I split the signal into both
the ar8000 and the Scout 40 using only *one mag. mount ant.*? If so
does one use a cable TV type splitter?

2. Is the Opto SAC 8000 interface cable able to be used with the AR8000
and the Scout 40 on a belt? Is the SAC 8000 cable; *a cable* or just
wires?

3. What is the *best overall ant.* to use on the Scout. I know that the
ant. length is based on the freq. you wish to receive.

4. What is the newest ver. of the Scout 40: ver. 3.1 ?

Thanks to all for your ideas and tips. Greg BTU.

I would agree with Rick.  If there are diagrams and schematics
it's worth getting the magazine.

It's actually easy - I just did it.  I called the number above
and they took my name & addr.  $2.50 for the mag, plus postage, and
it goes first-class to your doorstep.  I put it on my VISA.

I really, really DON'T WANT to type in that many pages of text.  I
figure that if someone is interested in the over-deviation/filter

Hi Jeff.

"Track tuning" is the name Electra used for the patented innovation
which tunes the front end circuitry of a radio to preserve sensitivity
across a wide range of frequencies.  It is accomplished by
biasing a set of variable capacitance diodes in the front
end tuned circuits.  The amount of voltage applied to the diodes
depends on what part of the band the radio is tuned.

Track tuning has nothing to do with determining where the center of
a signal is.  Track tuning may be found in most Electra/Bearcat
scanner models going back several years. The economy Bearcat 5
was a noteworthy exception.

Perhaps you have "track tuning" confused with "center tuning,"
which is implemented by a "window detector" circuit.  The window
detector uses operational amplifiers whose output is driven
by sensing current at the discriminator.  If the scanner is
tuned exactly to the center of a signal, the discriminator current
will be zero.  If it is tuned off center, there will be discriminator
current (plus or minus, depending on whether you are tuned
above or below the signal).  The window detector circuit outputs a logic
level signal which indicates whether the receiver is tuned
within a "window" (perhaps + or - 5 kHz) of the signal's center.

The window detector output is used to tell the scanner when to stop
searching so it won't pause prematurely -- off to the side of a signal.

Most GRE-made Radio Shack scanners use center tuning, too.
The Regency K500 and M400 are two examples of scanners which
lack center tuning, which makes searching more difficult.

Uniden's first "Bearcat" scanner, the BC800XLT, went one step
further...it had AFC (automatic frequency control) in the
800 MHz band.  The BC800XLT tuned to the center of an 800
MHz signal during a search but didn't change the display.  The AFC
made it difficult to tell whether the frequency reading was correct
because the signal sounded on-frequency when the display was
off by 12.5 kHz.

You're some genius. It just so happens that the 3000XLT has no Track Tuning
above 760MHz, so even if you could restore 869-894MHz, you'd have to hit
the SRC button around 5 times each time you'd get near a busy channel. Since
there's Track Tuning in the 360-385MHz area, the Cellular Security mod
should be excellent. Better to have Track Tuning than to know that
you're on 874.33MHz (which is kinda useless info).

If you must have the 869-894MHz region, buy the overseas UBC3000XLT
from Javiation.

Tim, I have a BC3000xlt and I can promise U it is worth every cent U
pay!!!
Intermod is not a problem and U can pick up "certain" 800Mhz Freqs.
in the 1005-1030Mhz range!! Ok, so you get images instead of the real
freqs. but it works!! The nicad battery seems to last forever, and the
banks
are divided up great.(20 banks, 20 channels each.) Let me know if you get
one, there are "hidden" keypress codes to help 800Mhz trunked system
scanning. I will E-mail U with them.
73 and Happy Scanning!

Which scanner should I get?
        I just bought a Radio Shack Pro 51 and in general I am happy with it,
but it doesn't have cellular capabilities (I looked around the San
Bernardino area and all of the Pro 46s & Pro 51s seem to have been
"decellularized".  I figured that while I'm buying my first scanner I
might as well try to get one with cellular capabilities while I can.
        I read in the Grove web site that the Bearcat 855-XLT is "cellular
restorable", what exactly does that mean, just buying an additional chip,
or soldering in something ?
        From what I've read it doesn't sound like I can restore my Pro 51 to
have cellular capabilities.
        Does anybody have any suggestions on what type of scanner I could get
with cellular (888???), or the possibility to upgrade to cellular. I can
afford a scanner up to about the mid $200 range.
        I also have relatives in Germany that could send me a scanner bought
there if that might be a good option.

I love my Pro-51.. and mine is too new to be able to be modified.. however
I have found that since this is only double conversion.. I pick up ALOT of
cell calls.. mostly in the 896.xxx to 914.xxx range.

I used to own a Pro-2006 but sold it many months ago when I was reloacted
to Canada. Now that it looks like I'll be staying here a while (engaged to
be married!) I've decided to get back into this "hobby" (obsession?).

The local Radio Shack has a new Pro-2040 100 Channel model that seems
pretty good so far (bought it on sale with the standard RS return policy).
They also had an older Pro-2032 200 channel model that was only about $50
more expensive. Are there MAJOR differences (other that 100 more
channels?). Is either one more modifiable? Better?

Please e-mail to [e-mail] as my news "reliability" seems to be
spotty.
Thanks!

I was wondering If any of you could help me out,with the problem of
choosing
a scanner/Satellite SCPC receiver and a Shortwave receiver for under $1000
combined.The type of scanner I am looking for is one that has at least 250
memories,at least 50ch/sec scanning speed,and can tune in WFM from 950
Mhz- 1450 Mhz.I have tried out the AOR AR-8000 and was disappointed with
the imaging problem.I was trying to tune in SCPC signals with the receiver
connected to the Satellite LNB,and instead I was getting Cellular and
General Mobile signals in the 1200 Mhz - 1450 Mhz range.I need a receiver
with NO IMAGES in the 950 Mhz- 1450 Mhz range.Now too the ShortWave
receiver.I would like a shortwave receiver with good sensitivity
especially on SSB frequencies.I would also like a receiver with strong
CLEAR audio.It is a must that the receiver have at least 100 memory
channels.It would also be nice to have a preamp,atenuator,RF Fine
tuning,and a Selectable AGC.I really like the Specs of the Grundig
Satellit 700,but I've seen some postings saying that it is only a FAIR
radio.Any information that you could
give me would help.

Dear LI PIX:

Sir, I have read several of your posts. While it would be ridiculous to
say that I have -always- agreed with your point of view, I certainly feel
that you have at times articulated position(s) which have merit.

I'm not exactly sure what caused you to launch into the tirade above, but
you sir have a serious problem.

While the reasons for choosing a radio system can be as varied as those
of choosing a camera, it is as ridiculous for you to have made your ill-
founded claims as it would be for me (or anyone else) to make a claim
"all photographers are pornographers".

You are obviously concerned about what you perceive to be a "right". Well,
 you do have rights, specifically those addressed in your State's Public
Records Act.

You also have an obligation. Before you fly off the handle, you have the
obligation to learn more about specifically WHY many Public Safety
agencies in the more urban areas will be MANDATED to switch to digital
technology. It has EVERYTHING to do with spectral efficiency, and NOTHING
to do with "encryption".

Are their problem agencies? Sure. But as an "enlightened" member of the
media, you show a rather monocular focus. I am frankly embarassed by your
post.

Contact your local APCO Chapter to learn more. Once you know what's
happening, you won't find the need to offer such vulagar and disrepective
discourse to the men and women who lay their lives on the line every day
of the year.

to building, flying and maintaining B-1 bombers. So I should be able to
go take one out for a spin anytime right?

:  You MUST give members of the media the right to purchase at their expense
: their radios. Why? Public support will fall.

Most departments with encryption, and with trunking, do make
non-transmitable radios available for the local media outlets to purchase
so they can listen in.

: The cops  & fire dept. are lazy . They don't do a damn thing. They tell us
: what they want to tell us.

So how long have you been living in your cave? You know, I spend a hell
of a lot of time at emergency incidents and around law enforcement and
firefighting personell. The last thing that I think they are is lazy. Go
on a ride along with your local PD and/or Fire Dept. It's a lot harder
work than you may think.

:  Do you really think a PIO is going to tell the media "We fu**ed up, when
: the media would not have otherwise know about it?

Any journalist or other media type that always takes a PIO's word at face
value 100% of the time had better start practicing thier burger flipping
skills. (Sorry Brian!) A good journalist knows that there is more than
one road to get the information they need. Case in point, we had a big
three alarm fire about a month ago. There were some questions on how the
department handled the fire. We talked to the owner of the building, got
his side, then went back to the FD and confronted them with it. They
admitted that a couple of things could have been done better, and those
of us who are *really good* journalists, dug a little deeper and found
people in the department itself who agreed with the owner.

Okay here it goes.
A misinformation campaign launched by idiots that seek to alarm the
public.
Example : ' Should the Internet county float a $45 million bond on
improving our current 911 emergency system?" Most would votes yes.
They do not tell you this NEW system will prevent you from monitoring
local goverment on your scanners. It something they forgot to tell you.
 It is a Government by the people, for the people, (at least the last time
I checked)
This radio system is paid for by YOUR MONEY  ( taxes) AND You must have
access to listen to it.
Anyone that differs smacks of an ilitist ( I can listen and you can't)
should be taken away from their precious public safety job to see what
they think then.

I replied to Mr. Humphrey by private Email, where it belongs.
One thing must be corrected. The comment of the "Cops & firemen are lazy"
should have had quotes around it. It was my intention to give you the
impression of what the general public thinks when they cannot get info.
 Alpha  Pagers go off for dispatches instead of the radio,
 status buttons are pushed for instant communications
 no clear voice traffic = the concerned citizen to wonder what they hell
am I paying taxes for? They don't do anything, They USED to but they want
to scramble the talk, so what ARE they trying to hide.
   I do not refer tocops /firemen as lazy. Most of them that I know would
lay their lives down in a second for a total stranger. Would you?

Yes folks, Alex did send me a private Email reply. I felt his response
offered clarity and was sufficiently contrite. We are -still- on speaking

recently was driving the 101 and the PCH, noticed that many Police
agencies in the central coast used frequencies in the 460.0-460.6 range.
I also had good luck with fire departments in the 154-156.0 range
I took along an AOR-1000 scanner and a power adapter so I could run the
scanner from the rental car electrical system.
In addition, I heard quite a bit of aviation activity from SBA, VTU, and OXN

Oh, if we had just done this 25 years ago.  Back then we had a tight
little operation on VHF FM with its own crisp procedures taken mostly
from public safety.  But the HF, appliance-operating, code-sending,
ARRL-supporting scumbags: (a) decided that there was something to FM
after all and, (b) found they didn't have to be professional-level
land-mobile radio technicians to put something on the air (due to the
burgeoning importation of rice-burning radios from Yaecomwood). Since
these assholes had "real" licenses, they couldn't be taught a thing.
And their sheer numbers overwhelmed any attempt to limit their access
to the good systems and thereby maintain high standards.  Now, we have
reaped the bitter fruit of the vulgarization of the mode - long-winded
transmissions that routinely timeout the machine, grossly inappropriate
and horribly ineffective operating procedures, total cluelessness
concerning system and unit technology ("SINAD???") and an overwhelming
arrogance toward long-time, highly competent system operators.  The
situation is hopeless now.  But, if we had just been diligent back then
and kept anyone with a loading coil on his car off of FM, we could
still be enjoying evenings monitoring the local repeater in peace and
quiet.

What is the best way to go when it comes to computer control of a
scanner?  I like the os-456 package, but is there anything that's
better?  Does the AOR 3000 have any advantages over it?  What software
is compatible with what?

        I have even heard that for some OLD cordless phone (eg: 10 years or
more) they used a band just above the commercial AM band.  Around the 1.7 to
1.8 MHz range.  Of course, that was before they extended the AM band to
1710 kHz.

I also have Access/Excell/Word in MS Office, but I found that FileMaker
Pro (I have it for Windows and Mac) is easier for me.  I started my
computer life on the Mac, and still prefer it over Windows, but there are
times when I am forced to use the Windows machine.

FMP is very easy to use, to design new layouts is a snap, and the files
are transparent to each format (Mac/Windows).  I have found Access to be
more powerful, especially with larger files (FMP has a file limit of 32MB
in V2.xx, although in the v3.0 this has been eliminated).  FMP tends to
get bogged down in huge files.  FMP and Access both use their own formats
for databases.  Fox Pro, and other D'Base based databases use .DBF.  FMP
and Access can read DBF's, but the information is then stored in the
unique format.

I set it up and it works pretty good as long as you only have one baud

I've got some in my scanner, including the ones you posted. There are,

I am expecting a computer interface in the mail soon and once I get things

In many areas, that's the way it goes.
Here's a tip: put all the frequencies for one agency (police, for
example) in one bank, then scan all the frequencies in that bank. That
way, you won't be just sitting on one frequency, waiting for action.
Even here in Phoenix, when things are slow, the police frequencies will
go silent for periods of over a couple of minutes (that's *all* the
frequencies, over a dozen!).

Probably. The FCC requires each station to ID itself at intervals. Morse
Code is the way many public service stations do this, as it is a more
positive ID than a voice, which can be garbled.

Don't get discouraged, hang in there. You'll get the hang of it.

Bill:
You have entered into a very exciting hobby, one that can be gripping at times
.  To hear an event happening that you know will be in=
 the paper or on TV as it is happening is very rewarding.  Between those event
s will lots of idle time, nothing is happening.  The a=
mount of traffic on the radio is proportional to the population area.  I live
hear in Chicago and sometimes there is too much traffi=
c I can't hear the faint signals.  You might also want to consider an outside
antenna to pull in more areas.  Pick up one of the goo=
d magazines such as Popular Communications or Monintoring Times.  They give al
ot of tips on what to listen for.  I think before long=
 you will see that the money was well spent.  Welcome to the air my friend!

Here in the Phoenix area, AIR EVAC uses 155.325 as their dispatch frequency
I also hear them on the local fire department or police frequencies when they
are contacting their ground contact. The Highway patrol (DPS/Department
of Public Safety) helicopters also do this type of work. they can be
heard on the DPS frequencies (460.3, 460.325, 460.025, 460.425, 460.475)
as well as on the medcom frequencies. YOu will also find DPS "RANGER"
popping up on local pd/fd frequencies when they are assisting a local PD/FD.

YOu cal also monitor Phoenix tower 118.7 or 120.9

A tall order. I suggest you go to HRO in Sunnyvale or Scanners Unlimited
in San Carlos and purchase "Government Radio Systems - Golden Gate
Area". It has 110 pages of freqs that can mostly be heard from Oracle.
I've never been in the building, but it is quite tall and should make a
good scanning site.

To get you started, here are a few:

Redwood CIty primary    488.7875
             tactical   488.5375
             mutual aid 488.8875
             tactical 2 488.7125
San Mateo    primary    488.3125
             tact 2     488.7125
             mutual aid 488.8875
             tact 1     488.8625
             secondary  482.9875
Foster city  primary    488.9375
             tact 2     488.7125
             mutual aid 488.8875
             tact 3     488.5375
             tact 1     488.8625

other goodies
San Jose     channel 2  460.325
             car-to-car 460.100

San Mateo narcs 45.66
                45.78

My story:

On January 1, 1996, I was looking at scanners at Radio Shack.

In fumbling around, I happened across a Pro-2026 with a date
code of 4A2 (April, 1992).  I have considered whether or not I
really needed this scanner, and I figured I'd gotten it on sale
for $147 including tax, which for a brand-new scanner that
should be cell-capable was a pretty good deal.

I've since found something else, and the sale is over - it's
back up to $249 plus tax.  The 30-day return policy is still
good, so I can return the unit until January 31 to get my $147
back with no hassle.

If you wanted to get this scanner now, it'd be $249 plus shipping.

I figured that since I got this one, and it SHOULD be cell-mod-able
(although I haven't cut L201, the jumper that should enable the
cell frequencies), I'd make it available to the world for about
what I paid for it instead of giving it back to RS and letting
them sel lit for $110 more.

Want it?  If you can get payment to me prior to the 31st, I'll
consider it.  Remember, I haven't cut the wire yet and, supposedly,
once cut the warranty is void (or so I've been told), so I'm
pretty reluctant to cut it.

 Make it worth a few bucks to me and I'd be even a bit
more receptive :)  Remember, I can always return it for a credit
on my card...

Thanks!

I had a similar problem, and it was indeed loose batteries (sort of).
The spring contacts whicfh press against the batteries don't have much
spring to them, and this is the cause of the problem. What I did to
solve it (and it's been successful for about a year now) is to cut an
appropriately thick slice from one of those "click" type erasers (you
know the ones - a refillable "mechanical pencil" which has an eraser
instead of lead - forms a rod about 1/4" thick. I put this behind the
contact, and it has stayed in place now without a problem.

Hope this helps!

I recently bought 2 of them from different sources.  The first I bought
from someone online and got radio (with battery and antenna), charger,
leather case, and manual for $140 (included shipping).  I liked it so
much I went searching for another and found one at a pawn shop.  This one
was radio, battery, and antenna only.  I paid $85 for it.  Both were in
good to great condition and had full 800MHz coverage.

Online, I have seen a number of 200XLT's advertised anywhere from $125 to
over $300.  Your mileage may vary.

Also, awhile back certain Wal*Mart stores here in the midwest had the 200
on clearance for $179.95.  My father bought the last one in the Wal*Mart
near his home.  Also, a liquidation company called DAMARK has been
"rumored" to have some factory reconditioned 200's for around $175.

Hope this helps in some way.

Mint conditioned, already-modded BC200XLT are selling routinely for $150
to $175. I haven't seen a Danmark catalog in about a year, but the last
one I saw had refurbished BC200XLTs for $175. I heard too that Walmart was
selling them but I haven't bothering checking.

        Ouch!  Talk about a tough review.  I have had mine since they first came out
and wouldn't trade it for any other
handheld in the world.  It's selectivity is the only real complaint that I hav
e ever had for it.  As far as sensitivity, it
beats my Pro-46 in the 800's.  It litterally fits in a shirt pocket, and has m
ore features that I like than any other
handheld that I have ever had.  I for one have been very satisfied with my uni
t and if it ever dies, I will be looking for
another one.

I had an R1 for a while.  While they claim it covers this expansive range, it
does so with relatively
poor performance.  For example, while tuned to 460.375, the squelch will open
and you can hear
faint audio from 460.325.  When I tried to tune in WWV/WWVH on 15 MHz during t
he daytime,
if I used an antenna with better performance than the rubber ducky, the receiv
er would overload.

That's hardly acceptable performance given what else is out there today, such
as the AOR's.

Hello - I was just wondering if anyone had a way of finding information out
about people.  I really need to get some information about certain people.

I had read an article once before about someone who had access to really
nifty computer systems that might allow me to get the information that I
need.

If anyone can help me please email me.  Have a nice day and thanks for the
help.

Bowman

P.S. It is for a good cause and I can pay some money for the service.

I understand that one does not work either. What data do you have that it
works?  The K 40 did not have any effect either on most of the test data
I have read.

The "Lifestar" freq is 472.2375. It may be shared with the private K-9

steve...here's the frequencies i have listed for the mall of america;

858.6125
859.6125
860.6125

as you can see, the mall is on a trunk frequency...there may be a few
additional adjacent 8**.6125's.  probably are.

the earlier post re: the mall dealt with security guards and scanning at
the mall.  my observation was that the guards have other priorities, and
that as long as you don't follow them around with a 12-element yagi,
they'll leave you alone.  a bit of discretion goes a long way here, as in
other contexts.

as for your housing accommondations...you could do worse.

hint:  do the 'mystery mine ride' at camp snoopy (virtual reality type
ride),
         skip the rest.

enjoy your visit to the twin cities.  spend lots of money.

I have a 32 Maxtrac but it's a 300. It required a specific board

Firenet is a paging service available to any interested fire buffs.

The service provides an alphanumeric pager that will inform you of all
working fires in the area. Also included are any special or unusual
responses of area departments.

Greater alarms from around the country are also paged out. The service
operates 24 hours a day, however the out-of-state greaters occurring
overnight are not paged out until morning.

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

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

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

Mod's for different model numbers absolutely do not work with other
models. Don't cut it if you're not sure. Clipping the coil you see in the
2035 will probably loose RF into the front end, killing all signals. The
only way I saw of restoring cell to a 2035 is by buying a replacement
mother board. Saw 1 in a Monitoring Times mag classifieds section once,
couple months ago. Good luck.

ZOWIEEE!  How do these "mods" get so out of hand?

As far as I know, the "cut L201" mod was originally for the Pro-2026.  Now all

of a sudden, newbies anxiously grabbing at straws to get full 800Mhz
restoration on unmodifiable scanners are proclaiming the "cut L201" mod works
for all models, and cures your acne too.

                             CI-V is FASTER..than RC network mods
                                            AND....
  Tap into the UNUSED MEMORY of your R-7000 and get another 99 Channels!

 The R-7000 can scan quite a bit faster than the Scan Oscillator mod can
provide
If you use the CI-V interface and a personal computer with serial port at
10780 Baud. The CI-V interface is a simple RS-232 to 5 volt interface in
which the
Transmit Data and Receive Data are tied together at the 0to5 volt side
(R-7000 side) and goes into the R-7000 via an 1/8' phone jack. If you want
to check for squelch break use the Reed Relay output for this. Just make
it toggle the RS-232 Bell line. You can have the R-7000 scanning in no
time at all. Just use the code for Setting the comm Channel. Then
Set_Channel( ) from 1 to 99 as fast as you can go! Eventually you will
find that the PLL cannnot keep up. BUT THIS IS THE TRUE LIMITS OF THE
R-7000!  And Believe me it IS FASTER.

You will need to contact Icom for the CI-V protocol spec..They sent it to
me free!
(Since I have just ONE radio and didn't need their multi Radio interface)
Once you
have functions written in C, Pascal, Basic, or Visual Basic (Using the
Protocol) for Setting the Mem Channel, Detecting Squelch Break. You can
also load/save all 99 channels to disk etc. I have routines that call
these functions to search the
Cell band at 825-846 and then automatically add 45 Mhz and switch upward
..when someone is heard nearby. I can scan the Military Band using a
priority scanning method that I am unwilling to divulge which enables me
to increase the effective scanning rate by scanning smarter. (Think about
it) There are a few software/Hdw packages available but these are VERY
LIMITED and DO NOT allow you the flexibility and power that a home brew
system will. Most of these programs are just glorified Data Bases! Use
Microsoft 'Access' if you need a data base. You'll find it's not as much
fun as simply saving ASCII files of your Hottest Setup from the radio. I
can have the whole radio saved and reloaded in under 1 min.

ALSO DID YOU KNOW that you can DOUBLE THE MEMORY CHANNELS?
You CAN! An R-7000 comes with half the memory UNUSED! Check out the
Schematics. You will See that the Address pin A-10 is left grounded (Pin
#19 IC-8) on the LOGIC BOARD. Ask for ICOM Tech Bulletin which describes
this.
Just lift this pin off ground through a 5K pullup.Using an unused front
panel switch such as the REMOTE PB and (A reed relay contact) you can BANK
SELECT another 99 channels. Great if you have (2) hobbys. Say:Military by
day/Police Fire, Care Flight Air Care by night perhaps.

Enjoy!

Only problem with the downconverters are that the frequency spacing on
400MHz isn't the same as 800MHz (12.5kHz compared to 30kHz)

If you modify an "unmodifiable" scanner, doesn't that make it modifiable?

Has anybody looked into modifying the supposed unmodifiable
scanners? The best canidate would be a pre-ban model
that now meets law requirements. Perhaps PRO-43.
(I have no access to these schematics)

I imagine it could be modified in one of three ways:

1) If processor is custom chip, I would bet the external diodes
were replaced with internal fusable links. These are blown
at the factory to meet USA or Europe requirements, just as diodes did.
One could look at mask under a hi-powered microscope and determine if this
is so.  The fusable links are usually located close to the wire pads.
The fusable links usually require a current sent thru two pins
of the chip to blow the appropriate links. If a link is blown to
disable cellular, there is no hope.

2) If a masked standard processor is used, perhaps someone could
pirate the code, hack it, and distribute it on the internet.
Hack would enable cellular band, a one bit change. Of course, the
processor would have to be pretty standard issue in order for one to
be able to burn the modified hacked code in a unburned processor chip.

3) I would bet the European versions still pickup cellular since
not illegal over there, or at least canada. Maybe Radio Shack
would sell the foreign cellular capable processor chips to whomever.

Any other suggestions?

I gave the radio shack pro-2037 a try and it stunk.
It picked up the 17" Princeton svga great.

In your opinions, which scaners are the best and cover the 800+ band?

I am still looking for the channel mod for the Uniden Washington cb?

Thank you

Someone gave me a scanner AOR 1500 and I need some frequencies.  You can
tell that I am absolutely a newbie.

I recently received my grandfather's old police scanner and I am finding
it very interesting.  However, I recently moved to Ottawa, Ontario and I
don't know any frequencies or exactly how to work the darn thing.
I figure I can probably figure out how to work it on my own.
But what I would really like is if someone had a list of frequencies for
up here or how info on how you go about finding them out...do stores like
Radio Shack have them?...would a government dept. have them?...is there a
FAQ list around that would answer some beginners questions?  It would be a
big help, Thank you.

I believe you'll find the actual frequency for WNBC-TV's engineering & IFB
is 450.3875. What you received is an image, i.e. 450.3875 + 2*10.8 = 471.9875
where 10.8 MHz is the i.f. of your receiver.

Well the sequence doesn't turn it into a scanner (at least not on the
OKI 900). It puts it into debug mode so you can listen to any ONE
channel you like. Not really much fun since you must of course hold
the phone up to your ear a wait to the channel to become busy. It's
not especially rewarding with 40 bazillion channels to select from.

I read a few weeks ago that Portland Or is going to be conducting a large
scale disaster to test their crappy system. Anyone know when this is
scheduled to happen. The article just said "sometime in January". Of
course Motorola is planning the disaster so I'm sure it'll perform
flawlessly. Let's see what happens when they leave.

 I can use my pro39 for hours after the low battery beeping starts. It
would be nice if this could be turned off? Any mods available for this?

I don't recall anything like that regarding the Pro-43. There was something
about a keyboard test mode that could be run on, I believe, the Pro-51,
though.
If you have 888.XXXx showing, they you are in the correct range as the
Pro-43 is not supposed to be able to receive that frequency (unless a mod
was done to the radio).
What buttons did you press?

I'm not sure what you're asking, either. Does the radio not move off of
the one frequency or do you not know the cellular frequencies?

Hello.

I did the mod for the pro 46 a while ago, let the batteries run down
and lost the cellular input directions. I forgot you cant directly
access it via the keypad. How the hec do you get to 870-880 etc!!

Thanks

Hello, I am kinda new to scanner radio. i have a Radio Shack Pro 2030
and read a modification file to restore cellular frequencies.  I got
too jumpy and instead of cutting jumper L201, I cut the capacitor right
next to it. Ouch! is there any way that I could buy another capacitor
from radio Shack and replace it? If so could someone please explain
how. I would be really appreciative. Thanks.

Cellular Security Group which advertises in Monitoring Times says that
they can install a downconverter for the Pro 26. This will allow you to
receive cell calls on the miltary band. You select/deselect it by turning
on the ATT. Costs about $99. I haven't tried it yet so I can't comment how
well it works.

Is the PRO-25 the same as the PRO-26. Mine came with "Canada Only" all
over the box and it picks up cell phones quite well. Where I live, the
range of 896.1125-956 picks up tons of calls. And yes, they're cell phones
not the cordless 900mhz phones.

I'm not looking for frequency-expanding MODs, but I _do_ think that
making these changes would be nice.  Does anyone know how to:

Remove the "beep" that signals a low-battery?  I can see it's low by the
display.  I don't need the annoying beep.

Halve or quarter the output through the 1/8" jack.  The jack is probably
designed for an external speaker, but I really just use it for a
headphone.  The output is overkill - I usually listen to it at about 1/6
full volume, but this makes the background noise of the amplifier in it a
significant part of the sound.  By taking the output down I could listen
to the radio with the dial at near full volume and have the signal to
noise ratio higher.  (I'm not looking to reduce the noise - I want to
increase the signal's proportion.)

Otherwise, it's a fine scanner.

I like my Pro-35 a lot, but I use it mostly in the car where I have it
connected to the 12V system. At night, I want the back light to stay LIT
when I push the light button instead of turning itself off after 15-20
seconds. Anyone know of a modification to do this, or a plce to start
looking?

I had a pro-46 and returned it to get a cellular modifiable pro-51 date
code 12A3.  If you stil have the opportunity to do this I would recommend
it.  The 51 has 100 more channels, is smaller, and seems to have the same
or better sensitivity.  The pro-51 also has the feature of preprogrammed
frequencies for fire, marine, air and weather which are very helpful for
travel when you don't know that particular area's frequencies.  The pro-51
with cellular is a steal at $199.99 it can't be beat.  I also have the
pro-26 which I use for military scanning and the pro-51 is very similar.
I would highly recommend this but be sure to preform the cellular test
before you buy because relying soely on date codes is risky.

good luck

I was looking at a Pro60 for 224.00 seems like a pretty good buy.  But can
it be modified for the 800 bands. Also anything else about this particular

Wow, is this bait or what?  You REALLY need to come to terms with what radio
is and how it works.  Almost everything in the field of electronics works with

some form of "radio" technology.  There are quite a few books out there that
can explain it better than anyone here can in this limited bandwidth
environment.

To answer your question simply, No it is not possible to modify a
receive-only scanner to talk to all of those people you hear (unless of course

those voices are only in your head and the scanner is turned off).

    Typical NiCad life in a PRO-43 is 6 hours for 600mah batteries. A test
using standard R.S. NiCads with: Scan mode, minimum squelch, minimum volume
(i.e. receiving, but no audio out) produced a battery warning at 6h 4m and
a dead radio 9m later. Maximum audio would reduce this by 1/3. HiCap NiCads
(850mah) would add 30-50%.
    The current draw for a sample PRO-43 was:  max. audio, 150ma;  normal
audio, 90-105ma;  squelched, 85ma;  battery-saver mode, 21ma.

Try the new scanner battery from Radio Shack. They came out with a battery
that fits they're newer handheld scanners, it comes with a recharger (but
you have to use your own AC adapter) for $34.95.  I used to use the RS
nicads and they lasted 4 to 6 hours, with the new battery pack I have not
heard the beep that the battery is low.

I am interested in locating inexpensive, low powered (typically
~35-75mw) Radio Shack and similar transmitters (some may be in VHF
range, so tuning an FM radio wont do the trick) from a distance of _at
least a few feet_.  Tried an Opto Scout, which was unable to detect a
Radio Shack FM Wireless Microphone (Model 33-1076) until it was less
than _one inch_ from the unit, despite the low background in
this rural area.

People have suggested the Opto Interceptors (R10, R20) and models made
by Viking, REI and Kaiser.  Any feedback on these units would be
appreciated.  Does anyone know if the Interceptor R10 would be capable
of detecting such a bug at a distance of several feet?  The unit's
ability to demodulate FM signals and relatively low price is a plus,
but it is of no value for countersurveillance if one has to be within
an inch of a transmitter--which is the case with the Scout (btw, the
Scout's signal strength bargraph didn't display even
when the antenna was touching the RS unit, though the red light and
beep tone were awake and the frequency was accurately displayed.  The
bar graph does work well in proximity to a cell phone or walkie
talkie.  Is the signal strength meter more sensitive to 35-50mw devices
in the Interceptor?).

I would appreciate any feedback by email or post on the suitability of
units under about $500. capable of detecting these low powered devices
from a least a few feet, and the Interceptor units in particular.

Thanks very much in advance,

TW

You're correct...that's exactly what is happening, the cell tower
sends commands to the phone that you hear as that bsst bsst and then
poof, gone!  Sometimes is you search around you maybe able to pick
back up on the same conversation on a different frequency.  Enjoy your
new scanner.

Hi,

I've never done any scanning before, but on a whim (actually, my wife
forbade me from buying a home theatre system) I bought a Uniden SportsCat
(only model in stock that was handheld) sc150b.  So far I've had a fun
evening of hearing all sorts of interesting things...but I've got what
must be a simple question:

Every now and then when listening to what I think are cellular phone calls
(because one person or other says "I'm on the car phone"), I hear a Bzzt
sound...sometimes twice in a row...sometimes just once.  At about this
time, I lose the signal and it goes quiet.

What's happening?

My hunch:  The cellphone person was in transit and shifted cells and the
phone switched frequencies...or they moved around enough within the cell
to cause something similar to happen.  Is this possible, or is this just a
amateur stab in the dark?

Thanks!

Scott

same unit. Any information on these two scanners would be very welcome.

Also, does anybody have any active Military Freqs. for 225-400 MHz range
around the Dallas - Ft. Worth area.

Hi,
     When you make a mod to a radio and it calls for removeal of a diode
or other part keep this in mind.  Whenever you change something try to do
it in a way that it can be reversed.  Yout never know when you may want to
put it back.  It is like getting a haircut, you can take mor off but you
can't put it back.  I have been an amateur radio op for aoubt 10 years and
a tecknician for over twenty years and made a lot of mods.

     The advice to cut the lead on one end of the diode is a good one.
cut it at a point where you can resolder it if you need to.  Not too close
to the board or too close to the body of the componant.

For a standard leaded part (one with wire leads):

You can either cut one of the wire leads of the part to electrically
"remove" it from the circuit, cut both leads to remove it from the board
altogether, or use a soldering iron for the same purpose.


If it is a surface mount part, you can either crush it and remove the pieces,
or carfully unsolder it from the board.

If these descriptions don't do it for you, then you shouldn't be inside
your scanner because you aren't ready or qualified!   (IMHEO)

Simply cut one or both ends. If you only cut one end, and slightly seperate
the two ends you can resolder if necessary. Be CAREFUL! If you have to ask a
question like this one you should probably get some help before you go inside
your radio.

I have a Radio Shack Pro-2021 Scanner.  I wanted to know about 1)any
mods for this unit, 2) is there a computer interface for this unit and
what value is it, and 3) what is this unit worth for a trade-in/up?

Also, I haven't used the unit for months and it doesn't seem to pick up
anything even when I put in the frequencies - any ideas?  Btw, I did try
a mod but the unit worked fine after it.  Before when I tried to use the
scanner, if I left it plugged in and on for a day, it would start to
work.  Any ideas?

On the mods, are there mods for 800, etc.

Thanks for your help in advance.  Please reply via e-mail to

The Federal Aviation Regulation (91.21) prohibits the use of any
portable electronic devices with five specific exceptions.  If your
scanner does not comply with 91.21(b)(5) you cannot use it.

To All:
        I am considering the purchase of a scanner. I am looking
at RS 2026/Uniden BC178XLT or RS2037. Is there a Uniden
equivalent to the RS2037? I would appreciate hearing about
operational experience with these scanners. It appears to me that
Radio Shack may be a little high in price compared to Uniden. I
also want to keep the price at or below $200, so I will probably

Well, the US is using TDMA and CDMA not the GSM methods the Europeans are
using and thus have no encryption. Why we didn't go GSM is beyond me.

OK, I can live with it, although it seems like just another way for you to
continue your shits and giggles at the expense of others. This will
probably be my one and only post here, because there is one small point I
would like cleared.
Please admit that you were lying when you wrote that you "found out" that
it was me who was posting as Bully Cheek, and further, that I was sending
you sexually oriented email. This is an out and out fabrication and you
KNOW it. I have never had an AOL account and I have never once sent you
_any_ personal email. You know that as well. Please set the matter
straight for the record and my beefs with you will stop.
Deal?

Sincerely
Peter J. Boe

Hi there, Came across a nifty little toy for the scanner the other day. It's c
alled a Sound Sender. What it's
basic use is to plug in the head phone jack of your portable CD player/walkman
 and then listen to it thru
your car's FM stereo. Trying to listen to my scanner in the car thru it's own
speaker is less than perfect, but
with this gaget I just plug it in, tune in the Stereo and out it comes loud an
d clear. I found it at K-Mart
for around $30 cdn.

Anyone else using this? Had any problems?

Take care

I use the Radio Shack CD accessory that plugs into the cassette tray of
an auto's stereo connected to the scanner's headphone jack. Works great.
It's $19US. The one you speak of is FM(AM?) signal based I guess. What
type of power source does it use? (Batteries or leade?) How far away can you
pick up the signal with say a walkman?

One REALLY nice thing I've been playing with lately is the 900MHz cordless
headphones (Optimus brand RS sells ~$99US). This works excellent around the
house/yard & a 1/2 block away (outdoors when transmitter is in upstairs window
).
The headphone's frequencey (adjustable range 912-914MHz) doesn't conflict
with 900MHz telephones. It uses an *18* volt 150Ma ac transformer for the base
,
though I wish it was 12v for easy field use out of an auto. The headphones
house a battery, looks similar to cordless phone pack from the diagram.
It would not make for convienent field change of battery because access uses
3 screws under the muffs. Charger is part of base/transmitter. Charge
lasts about 4.5-5 hrs with volume on headphones rather low and the transmit
volume higher to suit. There is no balance control. Comes with mono to stereo
plug, patch cable and headphone charging leade.

Specs say:

Frequencey Response    50Hz - 12 kHz
S/N Ratio                       60dB
Stereo Separation               30dB
Distortion                       <2%
Operating Range               150ft(open field)

I think the SOUND SENDER is a low-power FM transmitter, isn't it?

Be careful... other people can listen-in to what you're scanning.

Actually 145.55 is the simplex frequency used by MIR. It is allocated as a
packet frequency, so mostly you'll hear just packet noise. Very rarely
voice can be heard from MIR.

NNTP-Posting-Host: hocker1.tju.edu

A few years ago, an excellent  technical overview w
relating to how Motorola Type I trunking systems operated was
posted. From the posting, I understood the following:

On the system data channel, a "channel grant" is transmitted to
the mobile/handheld radio. This grant (or outbound signaling word)
"OSW" is sent twice in rapid sucession. IThe word s 84 bits in length
and is sent at 3600 bits per second.

It includes the following info:

1. Individual ID of radio
2. Fleet/subfleet of radio
3. Type of Call (individual or group)
4. Number of voice channel to be used (ie channel to switch to)

My questions are relating to this OSW: and are:

1. Is the above data transmission sync or async? If  async,
   are there any start or stop bits associated? If sync, what is the
   best way to identify the start of the word?

2. Is there any parity or error correction included in the OSW for
   the channel grant? If so is it at start or end?

3. What are the length  and positions of the elements within the
   channel grant osw? (eg. the radio id is the first
   position and is x bits long , etc)

4. In addition, in the absence of the channel grant OSW 's ,
   background OSW's are transmitted by the data channel.
   How can I indentify these OSW's a
   as  well as the channel grant ones?



Thank you so much in advance. This information will provide
extremely helpful in my understanding of the system.

You know, this has always been one of my favorite groups. The people here
have always been very helpfull with information and frequencies, but of
late, it has been going downhill. When I opened up the group tonight, 15
of 54 articles were basically just bashing people, nothing to do with
scanning at all. Hell, take that to private mail if you want to keep up
your tirades! Let's get back to mods, freqs, and stuff that pertains to
scanning before people start leaving and this group falls to peices!

the traffic reports to the stations.  However, the on-air

Triple conversion insures you don't pickup images of cellular on
top of 800mhz police bands. Cellular is the only thing I've seen
that is powerful enough to mandate triple conversion in a scanner.
Since many police are moving to 800mhz, its highly recommended.

I just received my latest DAMARK mail-order catalog and noticed
that they have the Uniden BC-350A/450A scanners for $79.99.  Since I've
been wanting a scanner for awhile, this seems like a good chance.

What I'm wondering is:

1.  What are the real capabilities of this receiver?  In true marketing
    style, the ad tells little other than 50-channel, 11-band, and 100-
    channel-per-second scan rate.  Anyone know what the actual frequency
    coverage is, and how well these radios perform?

2.  Is this an easily modifiable scanner for increased performance?  What
    mods are available?

3.  Is $79.99 a good price?  The units are advertised as "factory recon-
    ditioned", with mounting bracket, AC adaptor, telescopic antenna, DC
    power cord, and cigarette-lighter adaptor.  Since I'm ordering from
    out-of-state, there will be no tax and DAMARK has free shipping.

All help appreciated,

Martin Jones

How about built-in a speech-inversion scramble/descrambler.
I presently own the BC9000XLT.

 Groovy! how about a scanner that has:

1) Full frequency coverage from 30MHz to 2GHz
2) All mode, user selectable am/fm-wide&narrow/LSB-USB/CW/Pulse
3) Complete computer-control interface w/software
4) Built with garden-variety components, so it can be easily serviced
5) A complete front-panel, using a low-cost display. Smeter and center-tune in
dicators.
6) I.F. outputs at both 10.7MHz and 455KHz so the unit can be used to drive a
spectrum
   analyzer/pan adapter, etc.
7) a builtin modem so that all firmware can be updated via a BBS connection. O
r provide
   for FLASHPROM updates to be possible via the computer interface.
8) Published listings for all internal software.
9) 1024 memories. Each capable of holding frequency, mode, decoded infor and a
 time/date.
10) A fully-metal case and subchassis, so the unit doesnt re-radiate.
11) A real on-off switch for the 110/220vac transformer, and a NEMA linecord.
12) The ability to run from 12VDC, and include a standard cigarette lighter co
rd and plug.
13) A telescopic antenna that has a base-swivel builtin and isnt cheap!
14) A mobile bracket system for quick detachment and removal from a vehicle.
15) An internal speaker that's at LEAST 4" in diameter.
16) DSP filters in the RF, IF and audio stages that can be computer or panel c
ontrolled.
17) An adaptive squelch that will optionally skip data-laiden carriers.
18) On-board DTMF and CTCSS decoding and display. w/logging via the computer i
nterface.
19) Frequency search and logging, to on-board memory or via the the computer i
nterface.
20) A user manual that was actually written by someone who speaks ENGLISH as t
heir 1st
    language!

 Now..if UNIDEN wants to make some REAL MONEY...might I suggest they build a 6
m version
of the ever-popular HR-2510 or the newer HR2600? Priced similarly, UNIDEN coul
d expect
to virtually corner the market on 6m Amateur transceivers! Are you guys listen
ing??

How about a feature (maybe an option) that will restart the scanner when
it detects the GE trunked system *jingle* at the end of a transmission.

Take a look at AOR 3000A and AOR 5000, add a CTCSS board for BOTH tone PL
and digital PL.  Have high sensitivity without jeopardizing
selectivity/rejection (good quality filters).   Keep channel banks down to
a reasonable number, 20 not 100.  Add a channel selectable tape record
switch ala Bearcat 250.  Triple up conversion.  User selectable tuning and
search increments.  Keep chassis small and price under $500.  Amenities to
aid in trunk scanning (GE trunk tone detect, for example).  Continuous 100
Hz to 2000 MHz, NO GAPS.  A nice display that doesn't fade or tend to burn
out over time.

I'll buy two.

I would like to see:
1.  A real S-meter!
2.  A Center-tuning Meter.
3.  Tunable RF notch-filters, to knock down strong Pager freqs.
4.  Selectable RF band-pass filters, same reason.
5.  Multiple Scan-limit ranges,  that can work together or

         individually.
6. Lots of Memories to hold frequencies to be LOCKED OUT during
         band- or limit-scanning.
7.  More FM bandwidth choices
8.  USB, LSB
9.  A voice synthesizer to announce frequencies during band-
       or limit scanning, so your tape recorder can record it.
10.  Tuning knob, with selectable tuning steps
11.  Built-in computer interface, with FULL input/output capability
12.  Full legal spectrum coverage, 100Khz-2000Mhz
13.  RF Gain control.

(Hey, it's a WISH LIST, no?)

Ability to lock-out frequencies during a search mode ie; search between
160.000 - 170.000 and be able to skip over the NOAA WX radio on 162.400
162.500 & 162.550.

Sub Carrier Audio decoder ie: several media trucks use 1 frequency but
have different audio available on the the sub-carriers ... KTRH/KLOL
houston use 955.550 and put KLOL IFB on 39Khz sub carrier, KTRH IFB on
67Khz and KTRH News on 92Khz.

To make it simple.

1) CTCSS on more scanners, particularly portable scanners. There is no
reason in the world that a shirt pocket sized ham radio can have both
encode and decode, and a scanner can't have CTCSS and DCTCSS decode.

2) Although easier said than done, some way to follow trunking systems
would be nice.

3) If a standard is ever agreed upon, digital modulation would be nice,
since eventually everyone is going to go to this.

4) Smaller units, or units with separate control heads for use in
smaller cars.

5) Better displays, better speakers.

I would like to see Uniden develop a scanner (portable and base) that is
capable of receiving LTR and Ericsson's EDACS trunking formats.  This is
possible from what I understand especially for the EDACS since Uniden's
Commercial Two-Way division has been granted authority from Ericsson to
begin manufacturing equipment using EDACS trunking logic.  In a
conversation I had with a Uniden Two-Way and scanner dealer the rep told
me that this may be in the works for their scanners too or some sort of a
Uniden add on accessory that would add trunking logic so if this is the
case by all means please do.  We scanner users must realize that if this
were to become a reality that we have only won half the battle because we
would still need to find out the talkgroup and system codes in order to
make our scanners "trunk" and you don't think the two-way dealers are
going to help us out do you?  Just my opinion.

Hello and thanks for reading this.  I've created a homepage dealing with
radio frequencies in Western Pennsylvania.  Most are from the Cambria
County and surrounding areas.  This my first attempt so go easy on me.  I'd
like to hear from those of you that check it out, I'm learning by trial and
error.  http://www.pitt.edu/~ruhe

Well...  Before all the hoopla and laws governing such listening I
would say that my scanner stopped on a few cellular calls now and then
that were VERY intresting at the time.  That was also the time when
folks were being told by ignorant sales representitives that their
communications were also secure. (hehe)

Most however are businesses doing their business or spouses calling
home to see if anything is needed from the store.  I imagine that if a
person were to listen long enough in that band you might catch a few
amusing or intresting conversations.

Just remember that technically it IS illegal to do just that.

I am happy listening to the aircraft, railroads and police and fire dept.

Why would somebody go through the time to unsolder and resolder their
scanner to hear somebody's conversation?  Do people talk about more than
"Whats for dinner" ?

: You can hear lots of interesting things.
: Many of the conversations are funny becaue someone is pissed off and
: swearing his head off. Fights between husband and wife,
: girlfriend/boyfriend. Transfers of money, stocks etc.
: During the day mostly business calls, you can get the tips on where to buy
: the latest computer gadgets for the best price. All kinds of
: useful/useless information. In the evening it's like a soap opera, you
: peer into the lives of real people instead of watching the tube. I'd say
: it's good wholesome entertainment.

the novelty for cellular monitoring wore off in about a month after I got
my 1000xlt when it first came out. I dont really monitor it anymore
because most of the conversations are inane, boring.  I would not
personally drive my self nuts trying to modify a scanner for 800Mhz.
there is more intresting stuff to be heard on the private detective
frequencies.

You don't here too many 'whats for dinner' calls on celluar.  You here
alot more interesting things than that.  I've heard lisbans fighting,
drug deals and prostitutes making dates.  And that just the start.

West Allis PD(and other muni svcs.) are indeed on 857.9875 and 858.9875.  I
hear them on both of my scanners.   They are trunked with Greenfield which
uses 856.,857.,859.,and 860.4625.  W.A. listeners are particularly fortunate,
in that the control channel is always on Greenfield's group.  We are ALL
fortunate in that they chose to separate the two cities into freq. groups.

Gary,

I can hear them now that I've adjusted my squelch properly.  I live on the
east side of WA, and my reception is awful.  Much worse than they used to be.
 I suspect the antenna that came with my Bearcat 860xlt.  It just doesn't seem

like a good antenna.  OTOH I get Greenfield prefectly.

Can one of you clarify what the 811-815 freqs are used for (are they the
mobile counterparts to 856-860?). Also, I thought I heard West Allis on
the .4625 freqs; are all of the WA freqs on the .9875 freqs? Also, West
Allis fire is goin gto convert to 800 freqs onver the next month. Any
idea what freqs they will use?

For the poop on WA/Greenfield as I know it, see my page at
http://members.aol.com/unkag/unkag.html

Yes, the mobile freqs in the 800MHz band are always 45MHz below the repeater.
 It's all one trunked system which happens to divide the two cities into freq
groups.

Gary, I will post your FIRENET info on my page soon.  E-mail me with any info
you'd like included.  I'd like to expand my coverage of the area, so please
contribute as you can.  Sounds like you're well informed in the fire system
scene.

 A "MOD" is abbriviation for MODification, someone who is looking for
a list of instructions in order to MODIFY their radio equipment, to do
all sorts of things, the most common mod is to the frequency spectrum,
for instance, a PRO-51 handheld scanner doesn't come modified to
monitor the Cellular Phone Frequencies, but with a MOD performed to
the radio, then it CAN now monitor cellular frequencies.  Note: I used
the Pro-51 just for example, there is no CELLPHONE MODS available for
this scanner...  Does this clear up your question?

IF stands for Intermediate Frequency. This is the frequency your scanner
actually tunes to receive the signal on any frequency. When you mix two
frequencies together the outcome is actually four different frequencies.
For example 10Mhz mixed with 12MHz would give you 10MHz, 12MHz, 2MHz and
22MHz. To give an example of your scanner, let's say you want to listen to
a cordless phone on 46.63MHz and your scanner IF is 10.5MHz. When you tune
to 46.63 your scanner produces a signal of 57.13, that mixes with the
46.63 signal from your antenna to give 57.13, 46.63, 103.76 and the
10.5MHz signal you scanner will filter out for reception.

Because of new employment obligations, I am no longer using my
R7100, so I'm selling it and the other following items for a
package price of $1590.  I want to point out that this is no
ordinary R-7100.  The following mods have been performed on this
radio.

*    The Deltacom computer interface has been internally
     installed in the radio with a 9-pin serial socket on the
     rear panel.  All you need for computer operation is a serial
     cable and software (please note that both the Deltacom and
     ScanStar Commercial software is included).

*    12VDC coaxial input has been added to the rear panel, thus
     facilitating easier connection in mobile applications.

*    Scan/Search speed up.  The crystal has been replaced,
     resulting in greatly improved performance.


ICOM R7100 (unblocked 800 MHz) -  Current price is $1688.

     Includes original box, all manuals, AC cord, DC cigarette
     lighter plug.

MB-23 R7100 Carrying handle    -  Current price is $11

UT-36 R7100 Voice Synthesizer  -  Current price is $54

Deltacom computer interface    -  Current price is $349

Registered ScanStar Commercial -  Current price is $129

If purchased new this package would cost over $2000.  Please E-
Mail if interested to [e-mail].

I have one Regency MX-5000 that I'd be willing to sell.  I have the:
Radio, Back of set antenna, and Power supply.  A speedup mod was done to
the radio so that it scans faster and I performed the mod myself which was
just replacing a simple resister.  The radio also has a Hold Frequency if
it detects a signal while in the search mode.  The scanner is in excellent
condition too!  Now that I think about it, I may indeed have the orginal
box but I'll have to look around a bit to find it.  ->Dan

I see ads in the magazines for converter kits that supposedly convert

Ramsey has one such kit as do a couple of others.  Does anybody have any

I've seen the article, but I don't recall in which magazine or
newsletter.  The following info may help.

From my article, "Don't Junk that Old Bearcat BC-300":

   "..... For  memory,  the  BC-300
 used  EAROM  (electronically alterable read only memory), so
 backup batteries were not necessary.  The Dog House, a radio
 shop  in Fairfax, Virginia, at one time offered the DH 1000,
 a 1,000 channel adapter for the BC-300!..."

If you're going to bank switch ER1400s and need to buy more,
Chris Holmes ([e-mail]) recently found a source for
ER1400 chips:

    "....There is a small electronics distribution company here in
  Vancouver, BC that has about a hundred in stock. The company is Main
  Electronics and the phone number is 604-872-0267.
  The price is $10.04 (CDN) per piece with no minimum order requirement.

  Rochester Electronics Distribution in Newbury Port also has
  some ER1400ID (I don't know what the ID designator is) pieces
  in stock at $5 US each, but they have a minimum order of $50.

  ER1400 equivalent parts are the NTE2800 or ECG2800.
  You might check local suppliers for those parts."

Although a discone is a good antenna for a scanner (as well as some
other applications) mounting it INSIDE AN ATTIC may cause it to behave
poorely. Also 85 feet of cheep coax can eat up nine tenths of your
signal. Keep your coax as short as possible and look at the loss
figures for the coax before you buy it.

I am interested in building an outdoor antenna for scanner listening.
I notice that most commercial offerings are either discones, ground plains,
or multiple dipoles.

Can anyone point me toward a technical article (ie QST style) that talks about
wide band antennas for scanner listening?

Hello all,

I've been lurking for the past week in this newsgroup and have read
the three "main" documents entitled "Introduction to Scanning", "How
To Find Scanner Frequencies" and "Buying a Used Scanner Radio".  I own
a Pro-32037 and am pleased with the performance but what I didn't see
in this group yet and would like to know is....

Is there any way to connect a battery to my system for use during
emergencies?

First off, it has a 13.8V female plug on the back which is used for
car cigarette lighter adapter.  It says to use an adapter which
supplies a full 12V and delivers at least 500mA and its plug must
correctly fit the DC 13.8V jack on the back of the scanner.

I figured it would be fairly easy to just buy a cheap adapter and cut
the cord and wire in a 12V battery which can be found at most hardware
stores, but I don't know how safe this is.  Has anyone successfully
hooked up a battery to their base scanner for use when the power goes
out or should I just pick up a cheap hand-held for those situations?

Thanks in advance and take care,

Dave Bernazzani

Go to Wal-Mart and get their low-end car battery.  It will cost you about
$30 or so, plus about $10 for a small "trickle charger" to keep the
battery charged.  With this set-up, you will be able to run your scanner
for weeks on end, or for longer than the power is ever likely to be off!
<g>

This method is also great for operating CBs, 2-meter ham radios, etc.

The "DX" version allows the narower SSB filters to be used

I recently came across a large quantity of brand new Bearcat 200XLT's on
"closeout" for $149.00.  I have a 200, and have used it extensively for
the past 5 years, so I know that this is an absolute steal!  I plan to
buy 5 of these and "save" them for future use/sale.

Are ALL the 200XLT's modifiable for full 800Mhz coverage, and if so, are
they all as easy to mod as mine was? (Open the back, flip the board, and
cut the resistor above the chip?)  Or is there a "cut-off" of some sort?
Since production of the 200 was halted prior to 4/94, I would guess that
they are all fully modifiable (?)

I've also heard that all 200XLT's were cell modifiable, but I have one with
date code 0A1D and I can't find a resistor directly above the chip to
cut.

Does anyone know the answer to this???

Why do you have to HEAR what is going on to tell what you are getting for your
tax dollars?

Take a ride with a cop some night, when you get a call on a breaking &
entering. You get in the area and the suspects are already out the door. You
turn off you siren and arrive at the location only to find that the suspects
are long gone, along with valuables, leaving behind only damage. A witness
states that they though the police were already there as they heard the police
radio inside the location 10 min ago.

Now, what if there were still there, listening to you talk to your dispatcher,
as you told them your exact point of entry, where the other units are located,
where the perimiter is being set up, so that they are ready to do harm to you,
and excape un-noticed because they know where all the cops are!

Take a ride if you want to know where your tax dollars are at when it comes to
your local police, and see it from their side....

Dave

Yes, Me and  Mr. Humphy are actually above speaking terms, he even invited
me out to LA to see LAFD firsthand all expsenses paid ( just kidding) as
long as I pay them.
 For those of you that have not visited the LAFD web site, go there, it's
pretty neat, and they  post their 800 NON TRUNKED freq. for you to listen
to.
 Also check out the Charoltte NC web site.

As someone who has spent a qhile doing freelance photo work, following
the police, fire, etc.around in circles, I can tell you the following:

If it is on the air, in the clear, it ain't that important.

The lagl balance is your right to know versus their right to make it
safe first.  Digital is more effecient, uses better bandwidth, and is
normally clearer.   It meets most (not all, for sure) of the needs of
the people who need the radios.

You can't scan them?   Too bad.   you ain't first in line.

My database has over 25,000 freqs for Chicago alone, and more for nearby
suburban areas.  I'll suggest that you attend the next meeting of the
Chicago Area Radio Monitoring Association (CARMA). It will be on Saturday
Febuary 10, at the Destiny Restaurant, 1440 Rand Rd (US12) in Des Plaines
IL.  The meeting starts at 1:00 PM, and lunch is at Noon.  The only cost
is for your lunch (required since we get the room for free).

Talk in is on 446.050 or 145.770.

Local scanner freqs are: DP PD 155.745, DPFD 154.340, UP/CNW RR (visible
from the restaurant) 160.485.

For more information, E-Mail me at [e-mail].

I also recommend you check out "http://www.perconcorp.com".  The Percon
Spectrum or Spectrum-Lite CD-Roms have FCC license information useful in
tracking down frequencies.  One big problem is that a lot of companies
"hide" behind corporate or even individuals names and big corporations
even start seperate corporations for radio licensing.  A Optoelectronics
Scout is VERY useful is you have $$$ but a standard  frequency counter
can be useful if you can get close.  One of the best cheap ways to find
frequencies is to find a nice copy of standard frequency allocations and
to get very familar with where things are located.  For books, Beyond
Police Call is a little useful.  Monitor America is pretty good.  I
collect frequencies for *everything*.  A lot of them are usually very
dull but it's nice to be able to pop them into a bank if something major
(special event, building fire, ???) goes down.

===============================

You bet. They all have to get licenses, and the FCC makes these license
public knowledge.
PerCon and grove both sell reasonably priced CDs with most of the FCC
database on them.

If you check with Durham now you will find their prices to be higher.
I suppose it is a case of their supply is going down so they increase
price. :-)

Durham's current price is $379 for a PRO2006. They're got a special on
now, that if you buy the scanner and an Opto 456 for $325, they'll install
it free.

My experience with the Grove Pre5 is that it is more hype than
substance.  I saw a glowing post about it in this newsgroup and sent
for one.  With hindsight the article must have been posted by Bob
Grove.

Hello Jim,

I just purchased the Uniden 6399 last week and have been very happy with
it so far.  It has all of the latest features including 360 degree laser
and "road hazard detection".  I got mine from Radar City on the net for
under $100.

Good luck,

Ray

I've had my memory wiped clean as well with my MTV-7100.  And I know how
it happened.  I was in a hurry to replace the batteries and forgot to turn
it off first.  ZAP!  Memory is gone.

want to sell it in a reasonable amount of time, like a couple of months?

How about its Discone antenna?

Please email me.

I got my first scanner for Christmas, a Radio Shack PRO-50.  (Pausing a
moment while all the 'experts' and 'seasoned professionals' laugh.... But
I live in a rural area and I only need to scan about 5 channels to hear
everyrthing !)

I'm actually quite pleased with it.  Especially since I put nicad
batteries in it and carry it every where in the house with me.  Since I
live on a hilltop, reception with the rubber duck anywhere in the house
is no problem.

When I'm listening with the earphone (another Radio Shack goodie), there
is a constant humm as well as a low level static hiss.  If I hold the
radio up to my ear without the earphone plugged in I can faitly hear
these same noises.  (Which leads me to believe they are generated in the
radio and not due to a lousy earphone, but the earphone may be worsinging
their effect.)

Does anyone know of any mods for the earphone that might eliminate (or
lessen) these noises?

Thanks much,

Mark  (the spouse...)

Hello all!

I have just started reading this newsgroup.  Recently I bought a radio
shack PRO-2022 from a friend who found it at a garage sale for $6, but
with no documentation.  Operation seems pretty straight forward (I've
had a BC-100XLT for a few years) but I'm wondering 2 things: 1) is this
a pre-mandated cell block radio?  2) are there any cool mods besides
cell block to do to this radio?  I'm interested in opening up the
rather limited coverage, mostly to get the 200-300 Mhz range.  Thanks
in advance for any replies.  If it's possible, could respondents please
email me with replies, in addition to posting them?  I think my usenet
reader is kinda spotty.  Thanks again.  John

I've just been informed that a limited number of UNCENSORED black Pro43s
labelled Commtel 204 have been delivered to Javiation (tel: [phone]-
732146 OR [e-mail]). It's nice to know that we have one
last chance before the Pro43 is gone altogether! Price is approx $300-
delivered and it has 30kHz steps you-know-where.

All your windsock rhetoric sounds like BS to me and prblably everyone
else who also realizes that a log periodic is broad banded in its
response.  A TV antenna is nothing more than a glorified dipole with an
attempt to widen tha frequency response with additional dipoles at
best.  You have some good points if you can specify the frequencies you
are interested in monitoring in advance and constructing the TV ANTENNA
to match. But for general broad-band response, the log periodic is
unquestionably superior,(budget allowing).  I think the decision has to
be made on need vs. cost.  But in the end you get what you pay for.
(Also your bias against amateur radio operators is showing
embarrassingly.  May be you had a bad experience in your past?)  I was
only responding to the original question with my own opinions and
experiences, and was not expecting to be flamed for it. Sorry if I
treaded on your opinions.

   I read in a book on scanning that the freq at which an image occurs can
be calculated by doubling the IF freq and adding it to the freq of the
target.  In testing this, I am coming up with fairly substantial
variations, leading me to believe there might be additional variables that
need to be considered in the formula.  Might this be because my scanner is
triple conversion?  At first, I thought the factory speced IF might have
been misprinted, but now it is looking more like I need a more complex
calculation.


   Can anyone help me by shedding some light on this mystery?

Here is a tiny sample of some of the Mountain Home frequencies contained
in the sources noted below.

126.2   Tower (VHF)
253.5   Tower (UHF)
284.0   Ground Controlled Approach
349.0   Ground Controlled Approach
369.2   Ground Controlled Approach
342.5   Metro (weather)
276.3   389th FS CP
276.1   390th FS CP
276.8   391st FS CP
295.4   Air refueling track #610 primary
292.6   Air refueling track #610 secondary

One of the best sources of military aviation frequencies is the "Directory
of North American Military Aviation Communications."   It comes in three
or four regional volumes and covers HF, VHF and UHF.  I highly recommend
this guide.  I think it's available from CRB Research.  Another good book
that covers all the major Air Force bases is "Monitoring the Military"  I
got a copy from Grove.

BTW, let me know if you ever hear the following call signs in your
listening area:

HUSKER (KC-135R / 155th ARG, NE ANG)
SNOOP (RC-135V / 55th W, Offutt AFB, NE)
GORDO (E-4B / 55th W, Offutt AFB, NE)
LOOK (EC-135C / 55th W, Offut AFB, NE)
SPIRIT (B-2A / 509th W, Whiteman AFB, MO)

      Modify Your ICOM R7000 to Scan and Search Faster

             Copyright 1986 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S


 This article describes how to increase the scan and  search
 speeds of the ICOM R7000 receiver by 60% without noticeable
 performance degradation.

                         Background

 The front panel SCAN SPEED control on  the  R7000  receiver
 allows  the  user  to  adjust  the  speed  of  scanning and
 searching operations, as well as  the  rate  at  which  the
 priority   channel   is   sampled.   Rotating  the  control
 counterclockwise  decreases  the  speed,  and  rotating  it
 clockwise increases the speed.

 When the SCAN SPEED control  on  my  R7000  (serial  number
 001400)  was turned fully clockwise, the radio would scan a
 maximum of about  8  channels/second,  or  search  about  8
 increments/second.  As the following table shows, the stock
 R7000 can scan about as fast as a  Radio  Shack  PRO-30  or
 PRO-2003.

                     R7000 Scan Circuits

 The scan rate of the R7000 is determined,  in  part,  by  a
 simple  clock  outside the microprocessor.  The front panel
 SCAN SPEED rheostat and resistor R18 (and other  components
 in  the  LOGIC  UNIT) control the speed of this clock.  The
 clock output is connected to what appears to  be  an  input
 port  on  the  microprocessor.   The  upshot is that we can
 affect the scan rate without  affecting  the  other  chores
 performed by the microprocessor.

 The modification consists simply of soldering a 470,000 ohm
 resistor across the leads of resistor R18 on the LOGIC UNIT
 circuit board.

 How was the value of 470,000 ohms chosen?   Experimentation
 with  different resistor values showed that for values both
 above  and  below  470,000  ohms,  the  R7000   scan   rate
 decreases.   Not  having the R7000 Service Manual, I assume
 this  can  be  explained  by  the   firmware   within   the
 microprocessor associated with the scan rate input port.1

 Adding the 470,000  ohm  resistor  in  parallel  with  R18,
 rather than just replacing R18, has a few advantages:

   1.  The modification  is  easily  undone,  returning  the
       radio to stock condition.

   2.  The LOGIC UNIT board does not have to be removed,  as
       would be the case if R18 was unsoldered from the foil
       side.


                   Making the Modification

 Accessing this circuit board is not difficult, and involves
 the  same  steps  used  when installing the optional Remote
 Controller or Speech units.

 Use a towel to cover your work area to avoid scratching the
 R7000 cabinet.  Unplug the R7000 from the AC line, and turn
 the radio upside down.  Remove the bottom cover by removing
 the 12 screws holding it in place.

 Remove the 4 screws holding what ICOM terms the  "partition
 panel".    Pictures  on  pages  32  and  34  of  the  R7000
 Instruction  Manual  show  the  partition   panel.    After
 removing  this  panel, the component side of the LOGIC UNIT
 circuit board is accessible.

 Locate R18, a 270,000 ohm 1/8 watt resistor, near connector
 J5.   You may wish to remove plug P5 from J5 temporarily if
 it gets in  your  way.   Carefully  solder  a  470,000  ohm
 resistor  in parallel with R18.  I used a 1/4 watt resistor
 as it was the smallest on hand.

 Reassemble the radio, connect it to AC power  and  antenna,
 and enjoy.

 In the modified R7000, the scan and search rates are  still
 adjustable  using the SCAN SPEED control.  With the control
 turned fully clockwise (maximum speed), the modified  R7000
 scans  at  about  13  channels/second  and  won't miss weak
 signals.

__________

 1. Perhaps the firmware polls the scan rate input port
    infrequently.  Another possibility is that the scanning
    pulses interrupt the processor, and the interrupt
    firmware is limited in its ability to process frequent
    interrupts.

Monitoring the Counter Terrorists

As we move closer to the 1996 Summer Olympics and its expected
associated terrorist attacks it may be helpful to exchange some
information on how to monitor the counter terrorist operations.


Locally here in Georgia the metro police departments are under going
rigorous training in dealing with terrorism.. They stage various
events with high school and college drama classes for the SWAT teams
to respond to complete with blood and other gore. The military has
simulated a counter attack using choppers and special elite squads
among the high rises of Atlanta GA. Neat!

An attack against the President would be a type of terrorist attack. I
decided to check out how improved his protection was with all this new
training in place during his recent visit during the MLK political
event.

Background a few years ago I checked out the security associated with
Regan/Bush entourage. These guys fly into Dobbins AFB on Air Force One
then take a car downtown for the event. Federal, state and local
police provide the required security. I selected a hill in a cemetery
over looking the AFB and brought a camera and a couple of radios.
Several other curious types also joined me to catch a glimpse of the
proceedings from about a mile from his plane when it was parked on the
ground. Now the feds were the most responsive to the ædangerÆ we could
have posed. They had two people, a man and a woman in two cars with
out of state tags come up and park behind us. I noticed them covertly
checking out my voyager mini van as they calmly took up standing
positions just behind us. What really suprised me was an armed
helicopter gunship that swooped up from the base and flew directly up
to us stopped for a short hover then it pulled up and shot away to
hover over the path of the motorcade. A terrorist in such an obvious
location would have been toast!

Now at the time everyone was on vhf and uhf and easy to monitor with a
relatively cheap AR1000 hand held scanning radio. The FEDS used
scrambling on vhf and were unreadable.  I could follow all the
activities of the President with ease though including an open clear
phone patch from the plane in the 70 cm band.

NO LONGER

The training and new skills really do show up during this visit of the
President. I checked  out my old site in the cemetery but a business
had bought some of the ground near highway US 41 and I didnÆt feel
comfortable standing there with so many people around. They might not
understand a spectator watching the AFB in such a strange location and
try to take matters into their own hand. Cobb County GA is an area
with many rednecks (extreme right wing militia types) and a lot of
guns! After checking which way the wind was blowing and watching the
flight pattern for a few minutes it was obvious which direction Air
Force One would use when it departed. I circled the AFB and parked in
a business parking lot just outside the base at almost directly at the
end of the runway. I had a very clear view of Air Force One and
activities on the base. No one challenged me or even indicated they
were aware of my presence. Several times a fixed wing aircraft would
fly over relatively low and slow but they showed no undo interest in
my presence. Several times county police patrols passed but no one
even looked in my direction. I suspect a for real terrorist would have
succeeded in this vantage point in knocking out Air Force One with a
suitable weapon while it was low and relatively slow in its take off
transition. This is an security lapse that they need to be more
careful with IMHO. There was a motor cycle office stationed about 300
feet away but I was hidden from his view and he didnÆt look
particularly alert to me.

But the question was when would the President be leaving Atlanta? I
detected digitally encrypted speech in the FEDERAL area of the 70 cm
band. This appeared to be a frequency hopping thing as it would appear
on certain frequencies for only a fraction of a second. I am familiar
with the various digital type of signals heard in the various bands
and the sounds of data transmission from various modems. Depending on
the tuning one could mistake these signals as mere noise. Using the
AR8000 I played around with the various modes USB FM LSB etc. as well
as bandscope to determine what kind of activity was going on in this
area. A more sophisticated radio is needed to crack and track the
traffic in this area when the FEDS do not want you to know. I give
them and A+ for communications security against hobbyists at this
time.

The local police have all switched to Trunking Radio Systems (TRS).
The Georgia State Police still use a repeater on 155.910 that is very
easy to monitor. They also have TRS capabilities I assume but I
havenÆt pursued a study of their new frequencies yet since I am quite
happy listening to them on VHF. And here lies a very serious
shortcoming in the anti terrorist program. I give the local police a
C+ in communications security and the State Police a D-. I could
follow to a great degree  the step by step location of the President
and company by listening to the State police. A critical aspect was
knowing the time. Now in one communication I overheard in the 800MHZ
band a local CCPD officer refused to disclose to the actual time when
an inquiry was made by an unauthorized person. Digital data terminals
were used to pass this information to certain key officers in the
Presidential detail. The use of these terminals is still relatively
rare here in Cobb county and this is the first time I have noticed
their use. But serious lapses in security were noted. One zone
commander told all his officers to stay clear of I-75 during a fifteen
minute time period because they were going to shut it down for the
President and he didnÆt want them delayed in responding to calls. A
second more serious lapse was when an officer with detailed knowledge
was talking to his girlfriend via phone patch (I love these things as
they really are unaware of how totally insecure they are!) and he told
her when he would be available for a tryst at her place and precisely
why he was being delayed and for how long. ;>)

The Atlanta  Police rate a mere C- as they were somewhat worst in
keeping secure communications in mind. Overall the AR8000 showed
itself to be an outstanding scanner to monitor TRS in this situation.
I keep Atlanta TRS and Cobb TRS in separate banks. The details
assigned to provide Presidential security used a small sub group of
TRS frequencies from each bank. I discovered that I could select both
sub groups using the AR8000 SELECT SCAN FEATURE with ease. I did this
by listening to each bank for a few minutes and any time a frequency
was obviously related to Presidential security preparations. I would
press function which pauses the scan until another key is pressed. I
then tagged the frequency for select scan. One can delete individual
frequencies on the fly from the select scan list as needed. SELECT
SCAN allowed me to monitor the ten  or so 800 MHz frequencies in two
totally different Trunking Radio Systems totaling (27+15=) 42  TRS
frequencies which I found to be a very interesting and powerful
feature of the AR8000 in real life use. The police found one body
(elderly male downtown Atlanta) and a bunch of suspicious characters
during the Presidential visit. Bill Clinton also was driving them
crazy by jumping out of his car æto work the crowdÆ which delayed his
departure for over an hour. I never did see him leave as I grew tired
of waiting After hearing the actual expected adjusted departure time
(remember the horny officer?)  I went home to watch the news and take
a nap.

I donÆt really feel very secure knowing that a determined terrorist
with a major religious or political agenda can probably still achieve
their goal in spite of all the modern training and devices available
to our government today.

PS Please forward me any frequencies and methodology of monitoring
counter terrorist groups you know of that I may try them.

Voice Inversion is not an outdated technology, it is just inexpensive and a
reasonable first step in rendering voice communications unintelligible to the
casual listener.

Digital is expensive, although much more secure.  If enough people would pay
$1500 for a cordless phone just to get this level of protection, then someone
would be selling it.

Time Domain encryption is a nice balance between Digital Encryption and Analog

Inversion Scrambling in terms of cost and security, but it too costs more than

Joe Q. Public is willing to pay for the privelege.

Also keep in mind that both Digital and Time Domain technologies are NOT real
time.  This means that to have a usable full-duplex system, your acquisition
and processing time is so short that you must make the system simpler to
decode just to keep the time-delays down to the minimum acceptable to the
target audience.

There have been some systems that combine simple Time Domain Encryption with
Inversion Scrambling, and they are much more effective in a security sense
than inversion alone, but the costs are significantly more to the consumer,
who generally finds simple inversion or dual split-band inversion good enough,

and cheap enough.

AOR AR5000 - "The new Horizon"

New wide band, all mode base receiver 10KHz - 2600MHz

<Picture>




------------------------------------------------------------------------


AOR have been synonymous with pioneering design of high quality wide
band receivers for many years building on the strength of the AR2001,
AR2002, AR3000 and AR3000A. The tradition continues and we are proud
to announce the arrival the very latest receiver...the AR5000.

The new receiver is not based upon any specific earlier model but
draws on the best points and combines this experience with the latest
circuit design. The result of this clever RF design is a very
sensitive receiver with excellent strong signal handling capabilities
over a very wide receive range.

The AR5000 is housed in a newly designed solid metal cabinet and
provides a very wide receive frequency coverage from 10kHz to 2600MHz,
all mode reception FM, AM, USB, LSB & CW and MANY microprocessor
facilities aimed toward professional monitoring and the dedicated
listener.


------------------------------------------------------------------------




Receive circuit details



The AR5000 features a NCO (Numeric Controlled Oscillator) providing
tuning rates right down to 1Hz. A TCXO is fitted as standard and used
in conjunction with the WWV signal reference to ensure a very high
degree of stability.

The receive circuitry is based around a triple superheterodyne with
I.F.s' of 622MHz, 10.7MHz &455kHz. Multiple switchable I.F. bandwidths
are available in both the 10.7MHz and 455kHz I.F. stages: 3kHz, 6kHz,
15kHz, 40kHz, 110kHz & 220kHz with provision for a 500Hz option.

This great advancement in wide band front end design has been made
partly due to the introduction of automatic electronic preselection
between 500kHz - 999.999999MHz with low pass, band pass and high pass
filters covering other bands. This is a real achievement for a
receiver ith such a wide frequency coverage and scan/search speeds of
up to 50 channels per second.



The AR5000 offers excellent receive sensitivity across the range,
typical figures:

10 - 20 MHz 0 56uV AM 6kHz filter 10dB S/N
0 25uV SSB 3kHz filter 10dB S/N
0.36uV FM 6kHz filter 12dB SINAD
0.40uV FM 15kHz filter 12dB SINAD90 - 150 MHz 0.50uV AM 6kHz filter
10dB S/N
0.20uV SSB 3kHz filter 10dB S/N
0.25uV FM 6kHz filter 12dB SINAD
0.28uV FM 15kHz filter 12dB SINAD400 - 700 MHz 0.56uV AM 6kHz filter
10dB S/N
0.23uV SSB 3kHz filter 10dB S/N
0.28uV FM 6kHz filter 12dB SINAD
0.32uV FM 15kHz filter 12dB SINAD




Aerial input is via high quality N-Type connector and secondary
switchable SO239 connector. A switchable preamplifier is employed for
the short wave bands.


------------------------------------------------------------------------




Microprocessor control



To compliment such receive excellence, the microprocessor facilities
are right up to date and full featured. There are a total of 1000
memory channels provided in 10 banks of 100 channels with a large
EEPROM memory store. 10 search banks are provided with a total of 1100
PASS frequencies. Scanning and search speed is a very respectable
maximum of 50 channels or increments per second. Auto-memory may be
switched On/Off and a special Frequency Offset facility has been
provided to simplify DUPLEX frequency monitoring.

A large rear illuminated segmented liquid crystal display provides a
wide range of operating detail including frequency, mode, AGC, etc but
also displays up to 7 alpha-numeric text characters so that comments
may be entered to accompany memory channels & search banks to aid easy
identification and retrieval of data.

An analogue S-meter provides easy to see relative signal strengths.

A wide variety of search and scan types are available including memory
scan, select scan (your temporary favourite frequency notepad!), mode
scan, bank scan, search bank link etc. The squelch too may be
configured for noise, signal level, audio level, CTCSS.

A DTMF decoder is provided to display DTMF characters in use and CTCSS
search to display the CTCSS frequency in use. Audio low pass and high
pass filters may be configured and are switchable around the following
frequencies: LPF 3kHz, 4kHz, 6kHz &12kHz, HPF 0.05kHz, 0.2kHz, 0 3kHz
&0.4kHz. De-emphasis is also selectable: THRU, 25uS, 50uS, 75uS &
750uS.

A detailed microprocessor based auto mode bandplan has been programmed
for the specific market area so that selection of receive mode, step
size and I.F. bandwidth may be carried out automatically by the AR5000
making frequency change quick and searching meaningful. Of course the
auto mode may be manually over-ridden at any time. Step adjust helps
follow non-standard & unusual offsets on bands. The aerial selection
may also been programmed for automatic fast change.

There are a total of FIVE VFOs provided so keeping track of a number
of "hot" frequencies is very easy. There are two tuning knobs
provided; the main knob provides tuning steps from 1Hz to 999.999kHz
and has mechanical variable torque adjustment. The second knob
provides step selection of 100Hz, 1 kHz, 10kHz, 100kHz, 1 MHz and x10
for rapid tuning.

Other useful facilities include a built-in clock On/Off timer alarm
and variable beep tone.


------------------------------------------------------------------------




Extensive remote control



Extensive facilities are available via the RS232 port which is
standard on the AR5000. Even the volume and squelch controls may be
remotely controlled.

Output terminals are provided for external speaker and detector for
improved decoder compatibility. Provision has been included for an
optional built-in signalling unit.




------------------------------------------------------------------------




SDU5000 ready



The AR5000 is ready to plug straight into the optional SDU5000
spectrum display unit for "real time'' band occupancy evaluation and
measurements in both frequency and dBm signal level. The 10.7MHz I.F.
output of the AR5000 has a suitable 10MHz bandwidth ideally matched to
the SDU5000. (Note: a microprocessor upgrade may be necessary in the
SDU5000

Availability &Price

We hope to have a first delivery of the AR5000 during the first week
of January. The suggested U.K. retail price has been set at ú1749.00
inc. VAT & Carriage. For any Customers outside the EC (European
Community) the price will be around ú1450.00 including delivery. As a
guidline this works out to be around US$2200 at current exchange rates
(ú1 = $1.53 on 2nd Jan). Local Import Duties maybe payable.

Can someone explain to a long time scanner enthusiast and newcomer in
the computer age how all of this new control software works on your
scanner and maybe which are the better ones out. I am plannining to
purchase an AR8000 soon. Thanks for yor time.

Perhaps "memory" is the wrong term. There is definately a problem with constan
tly
using a ni-cad and then giving it a full charge before it has been used and co
mpletely
run down. In other words, there are some rules you have to follow when using N
i-cads
in order to promote long life. I've been using Ni-cads in radios for over 15 y
ears now
and in my experience, the longest life is attainable when the batteries are us
ed, and discharged
and then properly recharged. Once in a while it doesnt seem to matter if you c
harge a
battery that is half dead...you just cant make a habit out of it. I think this
 is what many
refer to when they talk about nicad "memory" effect.

Here, this is what you shouldn't do:
(So you know what key sequences you are NOT allowed to press, by law.)




OKI 900 - TEST MODE

Power the phone up.  Wait for PowerOn msg.  Hit 7 and 9 together.Then hit Menu
, Snd, End, Rcl,
Sto, Clr.
Phone says 'good timing!' Debugger is now enabled, but phone works normally.
Hit 1 and 3 together to halt phone and enter debugger. Everything on display l
ights up.
Hit Clr, Clr till you get status display.

Now you can execute commands listed below.  For example to reboot phone enter
#, 0, 2, Snd.
Commands all start with # and end with Snd.  Some take arguments.

You can use #25, to display memory in EEPROM, and once in that command, you ca
n hit # and *
to go up and down in memory, Clr to exit.  Hex chars are entered as "*n", like
 *1=A, *2=B,
etc.

Keep in mind that if you plan to use your counter outin the daylight,
those darn red led's in the startek are awfully hard to read.
my first counter had red led's and it was basicallyu impossible to
read the frequency in bright daylight. Maybe they've fixed that
problem now, but I would want ot see for myself before buying a
counter with limited useability

I trust you are referring to the OptoElectronics counters... I'm not
aware of any OptoScan counters.  Opto-Scan is the name of a scanner
control board, also made by OptoElectronics.

I don't know much about the STARTEK counters, though I have seen them at
HAM shows and such.  Do all the STARTEK counters still use LED displays?
 If so, they will suck-up more power than LCD counters.

I have an Opto 3300 mini-counter.  It works pretty well, but I have to
change switch positions if counting over 250Mhz... above that the
measurement is considerably slower.  Under 250 Mhz, it's plenty fast
though.  I wish it had some serial data out feature.

I'll probably be getting a SCOUT soon, but that's not a cheap proposition
if cost is a concern.

It's not much information, but I hope it helps!

Most of the ambulance companies which serve Orange County, CA, have been
bought out by, or merged with, other companies in the last couple of years
and I'm not sure who is using what frequency anymore.

Based on current telephone directory information and FD contract service
information, I have come up with the following list of private Ambulance
Co.s which serve Orange County.

If anyone can confirm or update the frequencies listed, or provide
frequencies for those I don't have, please post and/or E-mail this info.

BTW,  the cities of La Habra, Orange, Huntington Beach and Santa Ana
provide their own fire department ambulance service, and the Orange County
Fire Authority contract cities of San Clemente and Westminster also have
Emergency Transport ambulance service.

Also, the Ambulance compancies listed in the Southern California edition
of Police Call for Santa Ana continue to be very erroneous. Both Conva
Care and Comfort Coach have not existed since the early 1980s, and Morgan
(aka K&M) Ambulance has also been gone for ages.

ORANGE CO., CA, AMBULANCE COMPANIES (as of 1/96):

1. Bowers Ambulance, Garden Grove  - Freq. = 47.62 MHz

2. Care Ambulance, Anaheim - freq. = ??
  (note: NOT the same as Careline)
3. Careline Ambulance, Buena Park - freq. = 45.96 MHz (confirmed)
(note: formerely was Lifefleet and before that Southland. It was just
bought by the corporation that owns Med-Trans, so it may change again).
  (Contracts for large portions of Orange County, both north and south)
4. Doctors Ambulance, Laguna Hills - freq. = 155.205 MHz (confirmed)
  (has contract for Tustin, Irvine, El Toro, Lake Forest, Laguna Hills)
5. Emergency Ambulance, Brea - freq. = 155.16 MHz ?
   (has contract for Brea)
6. Lifecare Ambulance, Laguana Beach(?) - freq. = 47.46 (confirmed)
   (has contract for Laguna Beach and Newport Beach)
7. Lynch Ambulance, Fullerton - freq. = ??

8. Med-Trans, Costa Mesa - freq. = 155.16?
   (bought out Seals Amb. Contracts for Costa Mesa, Fountain Valley, Newport)
9. Medix Ambulance, Mission Viejo - freq. = 155.22? (moved to 800 MHz?)
         (has contract for Villa Park, N. Tustin, Mission Viejo)
10. Schaefer Ambulance, Santa Ana - freq. = 47.58?
   (been around along time, but do they have any contract area in OC?)
11. Superior Ambulance, Santa Ana - freq. = ??
   (also around for a long time?, but do they have any contract area in OC?)

You are hearing cellular phone IMAGES.  They are not the actual cellular frequ
encies.  Your
scanner is a double conversion scanner and does pick up images about 10.7 MHz
above the
actual frequency.  Some scanners recieve images below the actual frequencies.

Date Codes are not neccessarly (sp?) the best way to say "yay" or "nay".
The definative way to check is look at the FCC ID number on the back. In the
US (& Canada ?) The modifiable PRO-43's have the FCC ID of AA020-300.
The non modifiable PRO-43's have the FCC ID of AA020-300A.

Outside N.A. PRO-43's continued to be available until recently. These
did not carry FCC ID's but were modifiable (if they did have FCC codes
it would have been AA020-300) and carried date codes as late as 7/95.

My pro-43 can be programmed to check a designated priority channel every
two seconds for activity, and stay on that channel if there is activity.
Problem is when this feature is turned on during scanning it causes the
display to blink every two seconds. There is also a very brief
interruption in the signal received each time the display blinks. It
sounds a little like someone repeatedly keying a mike at two second
intervals.  Is this normal, or is my scanner defective?

Thanks,

Just wondering... How do I know if my Pro-51 is receiving the real
cellular freq's or just some sort of harmonics? (maybe not the correct
term). I have programmed channel #23 and get 888.9600 MHz, and can scan
up and down from there. Is this the only test to see if I am receiving
all of the cellular freq's? Am I missing something?
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

About 3 weeks ago I bought the PRO51 ($199) and started my learning
experience.  For $249, I can get the PRO60.  My questions are;

What additional 'stuff' is available with the Mil A/C band?
Isn't most of it scrambled anyway?

If the PRO60 receives AM/FM/WFM, then what is the PRO51
receiving?

The 50 channel/sec scan rate works great on the 51. Can the
25 Channel/sec scan rate of the 60 be increased? This seems
a major drawback of the PRO60 to my thinking.

The Nominal Sensitivity specs for the 51 seem to be slightly better
for the 51.  Does this mean it receives slightly better than the
60 when actually listening?

I don't know if there is any advantage to the 60 over the 51.
I do live 70 miles from NAS Lemoore in central Calif, but if
they are scrambled anyway, I'm not gaining much.
I only have until Sunday (1/21) to decide, so would appreciate
any info as quickly as possible. (decisions, decisions)

Thanks in Advance

Needs no encryption. Because, no one will ever figure it out, right?
Isn't that what they said back in 82 when they decided NOT to encrypt
data on analog phones? It's only a matter of time before someone figures

Around here, I hear the system being referred to as "TAG" units.  Pretty
interesting listening when one of the fixed monitoring stations goes "hot".
One incident ended with the police finding the homing transmitter still in
the robber's bag in the middle of the street.

Another modification on this theme...I bought one of those "baby monitors" fro
m radio shack
and modified the base unit by installing a jack that cuts out the internal mic
. I took a simple
audio patch cord with an attenuator on it (all available from Rat shack for a
couple of $$$)
and plugged the headphone output of my base scanner into the monitor. Then you
 can take
the portable rec'vr with you anywhere in the house and still have the benefit
of listening to you
scanner which has the better antenna. I sometimes do this when monitoring a bi
g fire (all fire
depts here are simplex) since I can hear the transmissions better from the bas
e scanner than on
a portable scanner.

For about $20.00, if you have a cassette player in your car, RS also has
a device (also primarily for port CD players) which resembles a cassette
& has a P/B head in it. It has a wire which plugs into a port CD player
allowing it to play through the car stereo via cassette player. Buying a
stereo to mono adapter (also from RS) & plugging iot into the ear jack of
a HH scanner gives audio to all speakers in your car. Works very well.

Um, here's a silly question...

     I have a Sony SW-1S. Can I listen to these shuttle rebroadcasts? I
think I need a BFO, correct? And my little radio doesn't have one!
AARRRGGHHH!!! Perhaps I'm wrong, and I'm just not recieving the
transmissions? If I can't get this stuff with my radio, I'm gonna get
ticked at the place that I bought it from for telling me that I'd almost
never' need a bfo!

You assume that such a mod exists... I've seen LOTS of requests for

How about a 100% computer controlled scanner.  The memories would be limited
only by the amount of hard disk space one may have.  A 16550 UART would be
used to communicate at high speed to the receiver it's self.  Software would
be GNU and written in C so that it can be used on multiple platforms such as
Unix, OS/2, and microsoft products.

The receiver it's self would cover from 30 MHz to 1300 MHz without holes.
CTCSS, DTMF, and a trunking type scheme would be incorpirated.  For example,
when monitoring a trunked system, the data channal can be monitored and
units followed accross the trunk automaticly.  Since it's computer controlled
all trunking protocols would be supported automaticly.  All pager protocols
will be supported with decoders.  A variable filter would be incorpartated
so that you can notch out intermod, a preamp can be built into this ckt as
well.  All modes would be supported from AM to Spread Spectrum.  Activity
logging is something that can be used.  A VOX or COR tape deck should be
built into this box as well.  A interface to a sound card could do the job
here as well.  16 Mb of buffer RAM so that preconfigured setups can be
uploaded to the scanner.

The scanner should be flexable enough that only the limits of your
imagination would stop you.  All in the size of a average telephone.
I would be willing to pay $2500 - $3000 for this product.  Provided that this
scanner is built like a brick sh*ter. RF only enters though the antenna port.

If Uniden only knew how easy this would all be to do.  Everything I am asking
for is availiable but not in one package.  To get rid of that 19" rack
mounted equipment would be great!


Ahh....What a dream

        The only problem with the IRC idea is that you would probably
get a channel devoted to the arguements of two little boys, which I
skip over in the newsgroup.  But then again, I guess these children
can be kicked from the IRC.  Maybe it would be worthwhile.

You can hear lots of interesting things.
Many of the conversations are funny becaue someone is pissed off and
swearing his head off. Fights between husband and wife,
girlfriend/boyfriend. Transfers of money, stocks etc.
During the day mostly business calls, you can get the tips on where to buy
the latest computer gadgets for the best price. All kinds of
useful/useless information. In the evening it's like a soap opera, you
peer into the lives of real people instead of watching the tube. I'd say
it's good wholesome entertainment.

Yep, most cops around here have cell phones and use them when they don't
want everyone listening to whats going on. Thats exactly the stuff thats
good to hear;-) Not that I've done it but thats what I've heard.

The big fun part is when you listen more often, and you start to recognise
people. During the day you hear a person calling for busyness,
at the end of the day he calls his wife to say he'll be late,
and 3 minutes later he makes a date with his mistress.

And I won;t deny enjoying the odd bit of phone-sex. You'd be surprised what
women will say to their husbands over the phone...

Right On, Bro!  We need more retro-mods in order to set a better example for
the folks on the net.  I not only blocked the specific frequencies quoted in
the latest ECPA, I also modified my receiving equipment to block virtually
everything I think MAY be declared illegal until the end of this century (only

4 years from know).  We wouldn't want any stray TV, data, fax or teletype
either!

Who knows, maybe this is the next Bill Cheek book!

I find the 800 mHz freqs travel a lot farther than 15x.xxx or 46x.xxx
freqs. I am also picking up West Allis on the Greenfield freqs:

     856.4625  857.4625  859.4625  860.4625

Mike,
Point your WWW browser at my homepage (URL in .sig). In the right hand
column of the table of "places I spend (too much?) time", there is a
link to a page of Scanning references. One of the links on that page
is to a page of SE WI frequencies, specifically discussing the
arrangement between Greenfield and West Allis.

The specific answer to your question is 858.9875 and 857.9875.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have an owners manual for the AOR AR1500 that they could copy
for me?  Or even a used one they could sell me?  Or any information at
all on the AR1500?

Thanks in advance,

who.  For example where exactly is the aircraft band?  cell phone bands,
amateur bands, etc.

Anybody know where I can purchase such a thing?  How about something on

Thanks in advance.

I have the same also. When I use my CB radio, because of the noise, no one
else could hear me good. That is because when you plug it in, it uses the
whole houses electrical system as an antennae and the outlet has about
60Hz noise. I got an expensive, (well a $25 adapter compared to a $3) and
the problem dissapeared.

Dear Shima:
         I have a Uniden Radar Detector and I find it to be suitable
         against Police speed traps. "Both Lasar and Radar".
         The Features of the unit are
                    1. Produces a low oscillator signature so Police
                       cannot pickup using Radar Detector Detectors.
                    2. Provides coverage in the area of 360 Degrees.
                    3. Provides all Wideband coverage from Radar to
                       Laser.
                    4. Laser detector is rated at 1.5miles detection

Sounds like a good idea to me.   What happens when Bill Cheek and the

can they be found?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

well you have to be real close to a transmitter to register a hit,

=================================
Hi, Virgil...
This is normal.
When you think about it, it's got to happen...
In order to check the PRI channel, the scanner must move off the normal
channel it's on, and tune tot he PRI channel. When it does this, the
radio can't continue to hear the other channel anymore.
The only solution for this would be to have 2 front ends, with the second
one to check (or monitor) the PRI channel, and switch to the PRI channel
in casr the squelch breakes on it. Few would want to pay for the extra
hardware, so it isn't done.
Hope this helps.

It is junk.  You mean you have not had to replace the Volume or squelch

You might try a cheap cable splitter from RadioShack. Your impedances
will be mismatched but your results may be satisfactory if all signals
are fairly strong.

It seems it would be easier to ge a mag mount antenna for your scanner.

Our local PBS television station transmits programming on the
secondary audio programming channel that is usually unrelated to the
video programming (during prime time it may be additional descriptions
for the `visually impaired', TV for the blind, what a concept). I
canreceive this (very informative) programming with the SAP switch on
a VCR that I have. The TV channel is 15. The SAP audio seems to be
narrow FM at 481.66. However it is imbedded in the wide band FM
primary audio programming making unlistenable (two audio at once). I
suspect the SAP receiver subtracts the wide band audio from the narrow
band audio to get clear SAP.

So my questions are, does anyone know exactly how this works, does
anyone have any suggestions on how to get clear SAP on a scanner and
since I don't think this is possible does anyone know of a SAP audio
receiver available on the market?


Thanks
Bruce.

The following is the account of an experimental analysis of how the
cellular phone system works. Note that these experiments can be
reproduced based only on measurements of signal strengths without
"interception of oral communications" which the ECPA forbids. Anyway I
find a technical analysis of the system to be much more interesting
than anything someone might have to say on a phone. Anyway...

I downloaded something back around 1989 about cellular phone systems.
It described the cannel spacing and the A and B band and talked about
cells and had a twelve page chart showing all the frequencies in each
cell and then went on with an analysis of the then recently enacted
electronic communications privacy act etc.etc. It refered to cells as
A band cells A through G and B band A through G, Around that time I
took the printout and a highlighter and highlighted all the
frequencies where I detected activity. Recently I looked for activity
and found things have changed quite a bit in seven years. Frequencies
that were active then are not used now. Of course many frequencies are
active now that were dead then. Also I recal many week signals then.
Now there are many strong signals and few week signals. I suspect what
has happened is this: the first cellular tower in town was a bohemouth
by todays standards. I suspect it used higher power and covered the
frequencies for several cells. Now that there are many more towers the
power and tower heights have been dropped. Therefore the signals on
the voice channels are from closer and the signals from further away
are not heard.

I don't understand what the cells A through G are all about. As I
understand it there are two bands each having 21 cells. Each cell has
16 (or sometimes 15) channels, the first of which is the control
channel. The channel spacing in each cell is every .630 Mhz and
spacing between cells is .030 Mhz. Using this information one can
enter data in Microsoft Excel as follows

         CHANL 1    CHANL 2
CELL A1   879.99     879.36

CELL A2   879.96     879.93

then use the mouse to drag this data out to 21 by 16 and you get a
band plan for band A. The same thing can be done with band B. Now if
you monitor the signal strength of the channel 1 control channel which
transmits continuously you will find that the signal strengths of the
audio frequencies are, for the most part the same. There are however
exceptions. Some cells have a very strong control channel but no
activity in the associated audio channels. Other strong control
channels are here today and gone tomorrow. Also band B never shows any
activity in the highest channel of any cell. Could these be reserved
for some other use, pageing perhaps? Also there is activity outside of
the original cell band of 870.00 to 890.00. How do these tie in to the
band plan? I suspect the individual cellular phones have total slave
relationship to the system doing exactly as they are told by the
control channels.

Any thoughts, clearifications or comments would be appreciated.

The chip used for wide fm in the PRO-2006 is manufactured as an AM/FM
radio on a chip. The pro-2006 uses it only for wide fm . There are no
commections to the am and sterio related pins of this ic in this
radio. I would be surprised if there is much control of how this chip
operates as it was designed to be self contained. I don't have a data
sheet on it though so there may be a way.

There are several legitimate companies who will clone a phone for you
IF you present SOLID PROOF that you have an active account on the
first cellphone. It appears that this is technically illegal.

There is some software floating around that will reprogram some phones
but the software and hardware interfaces seem to be different for each
model of phone.

Although the feds don't have time to chase after people illegally
listening to cell phone calls, they DO have time to chase after people
fradulently charging cellphone calls to third parties. This is a
subject that has in the past caught the feds attention and people
recently have been arrested and charged.

I have wondered though if one had an "extendion" or cloned phone for a
legitimate account what the limits of it's use would be. Since the
number and SSN are the same I suspect it would confuse the controller
software if both phones were used in the same cell or the same system.
I suppose they would work fine in different cities at the same time
though. Does anyone know for sure??

I have a friend who claims he used his phone on a private jet
and got roam charges from kansas and Oklahoma on his bill with the
same times on them. (he could be FOS).

HA>If you have one available please e-mail details.

I'm selling my Icom R7100 and the other following items for a
package price of $1590 (OBO).  I want to point out that this is no
ordinary R7100.  The following mods have been performed on this
radio.

*    The Deltacom computer interface has been internally
     installed in the radio with a 9-pin serial socket on the
     rear panel.  All you need for computer operation is a serial
     cable and software (please note that both the Deltacom and
     ScanStar Commercial software is included).

*    12VDC coaxial input has been added to the rear panel, thus
     facilitating easier connection in mobile applications.

*    Scan/Search speed up.  The crystal has been replaced,
     resulting in greatly improved performance.


ICOM R7100 (unblocked 800 MHz) -  Current price is $1688.
     Includes original box, all manuals, AC cord, DC cigarette
     lighter plug.

MB-23 R7100 Carrying handle    -  Current price is $11

UT-36 R7100 Voice Synthesizer  -  Current price is $54

Deltacom computer interface    -  Current price is $349

Registered ScanStar Commercial -  Current price is $129

If purchased new this package would cost over $2000 so I think my
price is more than fair but I'm still open to offers.  Please E-
Mail if interested at [e-mail]

I'll have to back Bill on this one.  I mounted a 17 element TV fringe antenna
in the vertical plane at 45' above the ground.   I was able to recieve
vehicle VHF transmitions out to about 60 - 75 miles.  Cordless phones out to 9

9 - 11 miles.

As a side note, If you can be certain that there are no high power signals in
your area, a 10 Db antenna amplifier can extend your reception.  They can
usually be found at your local TV place (prob the R/S place) for around $10 -
$20.00.  I didn't use them in my setup.  My greatest fear was the local SD
transmitting from their cars.  I don't know what kind of over-load protection
the amplifiers have for strong signals.

If the rest of the group will notice, Bill was subversively attacked in this
thread.  He only responded to the assault.  If you don't provoke him, he will
provide meaningful insight to the people who need advise and help in this
newsgroup.

I may not agree with every thing he says, but I don't have to banter words
about it.  The meaningless tripe is what irks me.

Hey, we use them all the time.  Because of the low loss and durability of the
surface, almost all of our RF lines are gold plated from one end to the other.

The lines are so popular, we have special teams that come in to remove them
when we de-install the related equipment!  You won't catch me transmitting on
anything BUT gold plated signal paths.  Nothing can handle the power like
gold.  Of course, I am talking about our waveguides.  (SHF)  :-)

Hi Chris, The codes I know are as follows:

10-1    Return to station
10-2    Call by phone
10-3    Meet with...
10-4 Okay
10-5    Location
10-6    Repeat
10-7 At Location
10-8    Available
10-9    ?
10-10 Ambulance
10-12   Bathroom
10-13 call Home
10-16 Cancel
10-99 Bomb

The other code number were changed about two-years ago.  I have the
original list.  The current one can be obtained by a beat officer.  When
I have time, I will obtain one.  This is the codes for the prior
offensives.

Aloha

Brian

        The Honolulu System is not a Motorola System Like Portland or Seattle.
It's an Ericsson EDACS system.  As we speak right now, its still going
to extensive testing.

        The current delay is funding.  The City & County of Honolulu, Needs the
final Three Million dollars from the State Gov to finish up by
purchasing the portable radios.  This money was committed by the Gov of
Hawaii, but since our financial condition changed, the Gov decided to
cancel his final phase funding.

Sheesh, a Valentine One is way too expensive. So what if it can tell
which way the radar is. It's not that much more sensitive (if at all)
than a Passport LCD and it's $400! It's stll worthless against Instant
On. Kick in another $200 and get a jammer.

Which antenna would anyone recommend if I wanted the best reception for:

        30 - 50 MHz and cell freqs?

The only catalog I have up here (Canada) is Groves.

What's anyones opinion on  either the Grove Scanner Beam or the
Scantenna from Antennacraft.

Oh yes another question:

        If I use some good quality coax, can I get better reception by
        using my old TV antenna on my roof?

Thx,

[e-mail]

Check with Durham Radio Sales and Service. They are still selling
brand new, in the box Pro-2006's and Pro-43's as well as other good
stuff. I got my Pro-2006 from them and I've been quite satisfied.

They have a Web site at <http://durhamnet.com/durham/> or you can
call them at 905-436-2100.

 Mine never did UNTIL I did the "super duper scan channels at a faster

What's good for reducing engine noise in a scanner?

Symptoms: reduced sensitivity/increased static when the engine
is running (not alternator whine), disappears when the antenna
is disconnected.

It helps alot as far as what to look for when in flight and on unicom freqs,
But I really am trying to find the dispatch channel I had it but they switched
 and I havn't
found the new one, been looking for about 1/2 year to no luck!!!
                                 thanks,
                                            chris


I guess I'll have to try and see if they give it on the air to the FD.

        You won't get it for two reasons:

        1) It's illegal in the US.
        2) Uniden is a member of CTIA, who got the anti-cellular laws passed in the f

I'm looking for information on a company called "DataRx" which used to
sell FM SCA data demodulation kits (used Exar XR2211 FSK decoder).  I
think they are no longer around, but if anybody knows otherwise, or if
you have one of these kits (or something similar) you'd like to sell me,
please send email.

11 band, and 50 channel.  It probably does NOT have 800 MHz.  I would bet
for $80 it does not. I don't know the SCAN RATE either.  $80 is a fair
price for a fairly new scanner with these features.  The key is the 800
MHz coverage.  Alot of Public Safety Agencys are moving to 800 MHz.  I
would definitly buy a scanner with 800 AT LEAST!!

Hope this helps!!

Daryl.

I get moderate images in the VHF-hi band, and severe images of 800 MHz
transmissions (including "forbidden" transmissions from the blocked band)
in the 300 MHz military air band.  It makes it really hard to search the
mil-air band.  I have heard a rumor that the front end of the BC9000 was
purposely left wide to cause these cellphone images to be recieved.  I
hope this is not true.  I'd hate to think that this otherwise perfect
scanner was intentionally ruined just to allow people to be able to
listen to cellphones.

ACARS stands for ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Inc.) Communications and
Reporting System.  It is used for sending messages, flight plans, engine
operating data, etc. to and from the aircraft.  Try listening on 131.65
MHz.  There are several types.  Some run at 4800 baud and some at 9600
baud.  Good luck!

  I was recently sent a list of freqs. I tried them all and came up with
nothing. Does anyone have an idea as to where we can monitor the Shuttle
Operations? Thanks in advance.

I bought a pre-5 from Grove mainly so I could operate 2 scanners on
one antenna. It seems to do this well,but I can't hear any change when
I operate the gain control . Does anyone have any experence with this
unit. I would think my signal would get stronger as I advanced the
gain. Also is there a cheaper way to connect two scanners to one
antenna.

REMEMBER FOLKS:  Scanners don't hear things... people with scanners hear
things.  If you based scanner law on firearm law it seems that we would have
the right to all protocols and decryption and the scanner manufacturers would
have the right to manufacture and sell almost anything they wanted.  If crime
is the issue I think Scanners should be pretty low on the priority list of
things that are going to reduce crime. If scanners are illegal only criminals
would have scanners.  ( I hope this sounds as stupid to you as it does to me)

I typically find that most folks have more hangups and problems and complain
more than the daytime soaps.  I think it's kind of depressing to listen to.
It's a good slice into how strange our society really is.

When I'm on the cell phone I like to talk about dead bodies in my trunk and
the 50 kilos of coke I stashed downtown at the back door of some dance club...

hopefully some will be eavesdropping.

That's how the priority works. It checks the priority channel every 2 sec so
your regular channel is interrupted.  This can be annoying but that's the
trade off.  Your 43 is working fine.

Mine had this problem in the 460 Mhz range but was completely fixed by getting

the replacement crystal mod from my retailer (EEB) and doing it myself.  Takes

about 15 minutes to take apart, take out the old crystal and replace it with
the new one.

New problem now - loose BNC.

The 8000 is  a great radio in concept - too bad they took some shortcuts and
released a less than ideal product (following computer software methods?)

LAPD will not be fully digital for at least 5 years. They are slowly

Does anyone have a way to repair/protect the plastic window over the
LED on my handheld? I just got it at Christmas, and because I've been
putting it in and out of my coat pocket, some small scrathes have
appeared. What can I do to repair them, and then prevent them from
coming back. A friend suggested clear nail polish, but I thought I'd
ask here for some real advice.

I am looking for technical information on the POCSAG signaling
system used for pagers:

1) The modulation type

2) Data rates

3) Data formats

If there is a reference book or similar information, that
would be ideal.

I have been told (by an unreliable source) that it is
AFSK on an FM carrier, using 1200/2400 Hz.   He claimed
that a "0" is one (one half?) cycle of 1200 Hz and that
a "1" is two (one?) cycles of 2400 Hz.   Is this anywhere
near accurate?

Is this mod "retrofitable"? Is the filter selectable?

SAM>Hi,

SAM>I bought an Optoelectronics Scout to go with my AR8000 the other day and
SAM>when I tried to find some frequencies, I noticed that the Scout was
SAM>amazingly deft at finding ONE frequency.

SAM>It found a local radio station, but that was about it.  It found 3 or 4
SAM>subfrequencies that were close enough to the radiostation to register a
SAM>hit, but all the 800Mhz traffic, all the 130 air traffic, everything
SAM>eslse, completely nothing.

SAM>So, the question is: Is the scout really worth it?  I sent the unit back
SAM>to Opto today to have it checked to make sure it's working correctly, but
SAM>they said that I may need a filter that would block out all the FM radio
SAM>signals and that this filter is another $99.00 or so.

SAM>Does anyone who has this combination or just a Scout in general have any
SAM>advice?  Is it worth the price tag, or should I just ask for my money
SAM>back?

SAM>If you have a Scout and it works great for you, please please let me know!

SAM>To me it seems that it would almost work better if I could put it in
SAM>capture mode without their supersecret filter mode turned on.  Turning on
SAM>the filter really really reduced any other signal's chance of getting
SAM>through.


I made a post about the Scout saying it was a wee bit silly toy and the
guy from Opto lambasted me. I own a Scout. I bought it used. It works, but
only if you are very very close. You can put a Miracle Baby (or Maldol clone)
on the Scout, put the Scout in vibrate mode, and get a freq by walking nearby
the source (we are talking about 10ft i.e. not to discrete.) You can put the
Scout on a mobile Ham antenna and drive around. This does work if the
guy is within 30 feet. It will pick up pagers real well too.

The Scout works under the right circumstances. It will get you what you
want if you are willing to put some effort into it.

If you still have your Scout, try this trick. Connect it to a good mobile
antenna, preferably a dual band (2m/70cm) Ham antenna. Park it LEGALLY near
a police station of your choosing. You will get quite a few hits as most
PD log on when they get in their car. Other crime units (like undercover) will
try out their radios before leaving the department. You can pick up a
hidden freq or two this way, but generally these secret freqs are known
by other local scanner.

You can repeat the above experiment at shopping malls, universities, govern-
ment buildings, etc. [Just don't sit in the car. You will look very
suspicious. Leave, let the scout work, and come back for the data.]


I am told filtering increase the range of the Scout. I plan on building
some and will post my results.

BOW, I don't seem to get it to work very well at cellular freqs (on my
Canadian trips).

Mine did it. It drove me crazy. I did the crystal swap and the
problem is gone. The claim is new ones don't have the problem.
I have the post somewhere on how to fix it but I would advise you
to return it if your new model does it. This bug is well known and
should be fixed at the source.

Forget about dates and FCC ID which may not be present on overseas units.

The definitive method uses the SERIAL number.  If it contains an A,
it is not modifiable; if there is no A, it is modifiable.  No exceptions
have been reported to this rule, including overseas units.  If anyone knows
of an exception, please report it to me or the group and I will change the
modifications FAQ accordingly.

Several years ago there was an article in a radio magazine to modify the Bearc
at 300
and BC250 scanners to increase memory size.  I believe it was a matter of eith
er
replacing the ER1400 memory i.c. or adding another ER1400.  Has anyone
experimented with this or have a copy or the location of the article.

RS has a  real leather case that is made for the Pro-60 for $20.  A friend
just got one and says it is really nice. You might have to call Tandy parts to

find it. Some of the RS outlets aren't really swift with new products and what

Epoxy super-glue or hot glue?  Nails or sheet metal screws? Velcro?   :-)

Don't pay no mind to the Wal-mart shopper - a PRO-43 has nothing to do
with color or black-n-white \ it is a radio scanner and $225 is not a
bad price, allthough, i'll offer $150.00 since it has no belt-clip.

I have a Shinwa SR001 200 channel scanner, covers 25-1000Mhz continuous, no
gaps.  Very colorful display.  2 antenna jacks, can be selected for each
channel, along with a variety of scan delay times and modes and a full
function remote control make this a very unusual scanner.  I put in a new
Lithium backup battery, have the manual, remote and scanner.  It is in very
good shape, few nicks or scratches, works fine.

$225 plus shipping.

I am looking into either the Yupiteru MVY-7100, or the AOR AR-8000. Both
look like great scanners. The Yupi seems only to lack computer control,
and alphanumeric tagging. Computer control is not that important to me,
so which one is better? I have heard that the Yupi is built better.. Some
believe that the RF performance is significantly better on the Yupi.

Anyone with experience with one or both of these radios please post/mail.

Thanks in advance, 73,

Hi !

I would like to know if anyone has some decent info on analogue phone specs.
eg. sits on paging ch 332 then listens to data stream of 9600 and changes
frequency etc etc.... Also interested in whether Australian digital is
encrypted, i believe it is not.

Any suggestions welcome.

Question.
        Why does my TV antenna in my attic prick up cord less phones better
than my R/S discone?  And will hanging it verticaly give me better
tunning.

Cellular l;istening can b e interesting and entertaining, at times, it
can also be Boring. Was on a trip driving up the 101 and came across a
cellular conversation. The male caller was talking with his female
friend, possibly his wife or girlfriend, they were talking about the
federal shutdown..etc...have heard arguements between husband/wife and
boyfriend/girlfriend, realestate agents, contractors, and also some law
enforcement chatter...

Some say it's illegal to listen to cellular phones but that law is not
worth the paper it's printed on...people who use a cellular or cordless phone
should use common sense and not give out any credit card numbers or any other
information they don't want a third party to hear or have.

cellular phones lie in the 870-896mhz area...even if your scanner does
not cover this directly, you will still be able to hear images of the
cellular conversations elsewhere. All my radios cover the cellular directly!

For cordless let's not forget those phone frequencies in the 870-896 (base)
and 825-850mhz (mobile) range..also IMTS and aircraft cordless

it would be difficult to find a cord long enouth to reach high into the sky!

I just purchased the WEFAX III fax demodulator/software, and I'm
using a laptop PC to run the software.  I am experiencing severe
interference from my monitor.  The interference is traveling
through the patch cord from the demodulator primarily, with some
interference also due to radio/computer proximity, when the cord is
not connected.
Could someone give me some advise on eliminating this problem.  I
would also appreciate any advise on reducing some of the noise
comming from the power cord of my PC.
Thanks,
JeffC.

IC-2SRA - you really mean "2"??  That transceiver has only ONE band output
from its transmitter, and that's a 2-meter unit.  The IC-4SRA is the one
that has 440 MHz output.  The RECEIVE side in both units is wide band -
but doesn't have a transmitter circuit built in.

Depending on which Pro-39 you have, you my be able to disasemble it, and
clean the mica conductors with TV tuner cleaner or eqv..  If it has the
"jelly" filled style, you're probably S.O.L.  Also, you might contact RS
for the current number of their parts department, and order a replacment
and install it your self.  Hope this helps.

When the FCC was in the process of approving the transfer to another
company, their records and ours (5 TV stations) were not in sync, at
all.  We were using auxiliary frequencies, had the FCC paper to prove
we were licensed, but they had no record.  Conversely, they had us
down for frequencies long expired, we had quit using.   My
understanding from our attorney working with the FCC was that it was
no big deal to them, they knew their records were not accurate.
Regardless,  the license was transferred.

Does anyone know the status of Philly Pd's trunked radio system
status? What system was chosen and when will be the implementation dates?
(They already use an 800 mhz freq. to simulcast J Band.)

Finally, does anyone know the status of the 3 copters Philly  was
considering purchasing. I's been a while since I heard anything.

Any info on either topic above will be helpful!

Hi Dan,

If the shuttle frequencies were  the air to ground 1/2
in the UHF military spectrum (225 to 400 mhz) they are mainly u
sed during entry and re-entry only.
Once the shuttle is in orbit, they switch to the TDRS satellite (SHF).

The UHF freqs also are used as backup to TDRS, but I never heard
anything on them.

The only way that I know to monitor the comms is to either buy a
satellite dish and tune to the NASA contract channel, or listen to
a rebroadcast of this via HF  on the Amateur  Bands.

I'll be interested if anyone ever heard the UHF air to ground freqs
used when in orbit.

Several weeks ago some one posted a question here re: what frequency
is currently used by the New Jersey State Police  to patrol Camden.

As a background, Gov. Whitman started this patrol for Camden about 2
weeks ago and last Friday evening a trooper was shot during a car
stop.

To answer the question, the 800 Mhz. trunked system is used for this.
Specifically, the Command Post subfleet of the Troop A system.

The dispatcher is ID'd as "CP" and the units mostly are
in the 1000 series (ie unmarked state units).

Any clarifications please emaiil me.

I have compiled a comprehensive document for the following agencies:
Camden Co , Gloucester Co., and Burlington Co. Police , Fire, EMS
frequencies, channelization police district #'s, police codes and
unit identifiers, fire/ems districts and station #'s and fire/ems
county support service unit #'s. The local municipality
info within the above counties are also detailed.

I am also working on the NJSP plan, as well as Atlantic County.

When finished, I would like to place this info on my WEB page
(when I get one) for all to browse.

The information above is approx. 85% complete. I do need information
on the following to complete it:

CAMDEN Co.

Cherry Hill Police 10-cods above 10-60 and unit identifiers for the
100, 200, 400, and 900 series units.

Camden City Pollice 10-codes and incident codes and unit identifiers
for the 600 thru 800 series units.

Pennsauken Twp Police 10-codes and unit identifiers

Prosecutor's office unit identifiers for 8800, 8900, and 9000 series.

BURLINGTON Co.

Mount Laurel Police unit identifiers

ATLANTIC Co.

Any information on Township/ unit numbering and codes are needed.
(I already have Atlantic City and  County Sheriff)

NJSP

A new fleet/subfleet listing. The one I currently have is dated.


CONCLUSION

As soon as the document is done, I'll Post a message here explaining
where you can view it.

Please let me know if there is any interest out there for this.

Happy monitoring,

Currently No to Number one. It may change to Yes but thats out of my hands.

Its selectable in that you can have eithet the standard AM filter or SSB
filter, it not selectable in size though if thats what you mean. The SSB
filter is activated/unactivated by pressing the "local" key. You may
also find that on DX models you cannot make us of the DS8000 chip but we
havn't been able to try this out yet.

Do not trade your 2006 for an Icom R1. The R1 suffers from front end
overload and severe intermod. The only thing it has going for it is small
size.
You already have the best scanner ever made!

sorry Jeff, but that's not possible.

If you ever take the radio apart, you'll see a 2 meter transciever and
a wideband reciever in there...nothing to transmit with for 440.

Sure. 259.7 AM, 296.8 AM, 298.8 AM are the best freqs. Although you're
only going to hear them line-of-sight. Usually I'll monitor NASA select
but just for kicks I'll punch in the direct freqs. when the orbit passes
over the S.F. Bay Area. When they make approaches to Edwards I can
usually hear them when they're about 1000 miles east of Hawaii till they drop
below my horizon at about 85,000'. I usually lose them shortly before the
"locals" report the twin booms.

You could fairly easy... But to what end? you won't be able to hear the
AM stations very clearly on an FM set if at all, further you'd have to
narrow the IF bandwidth considerably to keep from hearing 3 or 4 or more
stations at a time... Drop a buck and get a good scanner, youll save
yourself a lot of headaches.

I don't get anything on PD running on my PC. Has anyone else been successful
using PD and could offer some suggestions?

Gold plated connectors???

I can see why one would use gold plated connectors for the outside
portion of the connection(anti-corrosive) but why use these over priced
connectors inside when the BNC recepticle is made of regular   plated or
stainless steel.

  We don't use these much in the broadcasting industry and I certainly
am not an expert on gold vs regular connectors...but I have used gold
plated connectors on a few a projects and I'm not convinced that it made
any difference.

Convince me and I will convert....to gold that is(g).

  Yes, I checked the antenna and that is not the source of the problem.
I know the difference between a phillips and a flathead screwdriver and
I know where to plug in my soldering iron(the wall outlet works better

What passes for memory problems in most NiCad packs is an inability to
equally charge all the cells in the battery.  (Using battery here in its
original meaning of more than one cell.)  There was a very nice article
about this in Popular Photgraphy sometime in 1995.

For battery packs such as the Radio Shack scanners employ, the solution
is simple.  Take the batteries out of the pack and test the voltage.  If
any are lower than the rest they need to be charged and can easily be
charged out of the pack with another charger.

For batteries in a sealed system such as the Bearcat packs and NiCad
camcorder packs (some camcorders are now using gel lead acid batteries)
one can't charge the cells individually.  The alternative is to
discharge and recharge the packs until a full charge is achieved in all
the cells.  There is now a device that does just that for camcorders.
It discharges and recharges the pack!

If you want to do it yourself you need to know how many cells there are
in the pack and discharge the pack to about 1.0 volt per cell before
recharging.

In my opinion this whole situation has nothing to do with any "memory"
whatsoever.  I don't want to join the "anti-memory" religion however and
so cannot disprove "memory".  It is hard to disprove a non-existent
entity.

There were some specific memory problems in some cells used industrially
and this is where all the memory ideas began.  Furthermore some people
feel that the discharge and charge of cells prevents memory problems.
It is certainly supposed to help the cells and whether you call this
memory prevention or not is up to you!

Programmable RF gain (Not just attenuators, programmable gain) to allow
you to reduce the gain to the point that you can vary the gain in steps
down to the point where you can be feet away from a 50 watt transmitter
and still only get half scale on the S-meter.   Small programmable
gain would allow you to reduce intermod, and the very low gain would
almost guarantee you a sale to every Amateur Radio transmitter hunter in
the world.

The transmitter hunter problem is that when you are hunting a transmitter
with a beam antenna, when you get close, you get full scale readings in
all directions.  You use attenuators to reduce the signal strength as
you get closer, but you often reach a practical maximum attenuation before
you find the transmitter.

If you had a scanner that included continuously variable gain over a
very wide range, you would elminate the need for a seperate attenuator
and it would work better, too.  It shouldn't be too hard to generate
a variable RF gain by working with the RF stages, or even by varying the
IF mixers.  At some point attenuators stop working because the signal is
so strong that the radio itself picks up the signal without attenuators.

Transmitter hunting is a fairly large and growing sport in the US and
abroad.

Try this: Bend a piece of coat hanger into a U shape. Bend the ends and
hook the U onto one of your AC/heating vents (takes a bit of finagling to
get it just right, but you can already see where this is going...). Slip
the scanner's belt clip over the base of the U and voila.

Velcro works too, obviously. Get the wide strips (hardware store is often
cheaper than Rat Shack).

Last, I saw in Walmart that they sell a rectangular-shaped clamp thingie
in the auto section that is designed for cups but it just about the right
size and shape for a scanner. It attaches with Velcro.

want to have to buy a scanner book for 35 bucks either.  I would really
appreciate any frequencies that anyone has to give, or any info on where
I can get frequencies for my area.  Thank you very much

I've had a 2006 for 4 yr's now & has no hum. If the hum is present when
the unit is off but plugged in, it's the P/S transformer, & using an
external P/S is the easiest "fix". If the hum is noticed only when turned
on, and stays the same at any audio level, you have a bad P/S filter,
again, the easy fix is an ext P/S.

               Restoring Full 800 MHz Coverage
                  in "Unrestorable" Scanners

             Copyright 1996 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

 Several posters assert that restoring full 800 MHz  coverage
 is impossible in current model scanners marketed in the USA.
 Hold on to your chair: It is possible  and  very  simple  in
 some cases.

 I restored full 800 MHz coverage with  full  sensitivity  to
 one  of  my  USA  BC9000XLTs,  and  all it takes is one DPDT
 switch.  (The surface mount construction makes  it  a  chal-
 lenge, though, but that's a different story.)

 The BC8500XLT and BC220XLT can be restored.  There's a  fair
 chance the USA versions of the PRO-26, PRO-51, and BC3000XLT
 can be modified -- and  not  by  changing  anything  in  the
 microprocessor or keyboard reprogramming.

 How?  Swap the image with  the  non-image.   I  call  it  an
 "image  swap."   The  idea is to switch in the 800 MHz front
 end bandpass filter and listen to  the  proper  image.   The
 display  will  still  be  wrong, but the 800 MHz sensitivity
 should be good.

 Think of switching the front end  filters  as  swapping  the
 image  with  the  original  signal.   In  the  case  of  the
 BC9000XLT, 880 MHz images appear near  370  MHz.   Switching
 the  UHF  air  and  800 MHz front ends using a simple toggle
 switch makes the 800 MHz signals full strength  and  attenu-
 ates  the  military air signals, but the display still reads
 in the 370 MHz range.

 I didn't invent this.  Steve Donnell WA1YKL wrote  about  it
 at  least  twice:  once  in the RCMA Journal and in NatScan.
 It's big news but most people missed it.

 Steve Donnell published a BC8500XLT modification in the  Mod
 House  column  of  the National Scanning Report (Sep/Oct 94)
 which added a switch to:


  1.  select the NFM mode instead of AM in the  military  air
      band
  2.  enable the 800 MHz front end filtering when the scanner
      is programmed to the military air band
  3.  disable the  300  MHz  front  end  filtering  when  the
      scanner is programmed to the military air band

 The net effect of (1), (2), and  (3)  is  reception  of  the
 missing  800 MHz segment even though the displayed frequency
 is in the military air band.  Steve  wrote  about  modifying
 the BC220XLT in another article.

 I found the BC9000XLT was even simpler to modify because  it
 already permits mode and step size selection on all frequen-
 cies.

 I  see  from  the  MT   part   of   the   Grove   web   page
 (http://www.grove.net)  that  Steve will explain this method
 in further detail in the February 1996 Monitoring Times.

 Hobbyists not comfortable with soldering may consider paying
 a commercial company to install a "Virtual 800 MHz Down Con-
 verter," i.e., a DPDT toggle switch.

 I  don't  have  schematics  nor  service  manuals  for   the
 BC220XLT, PRO-51, or some other models so I won't be able to
 advise on modifying your scanner unless  provided  with  the
 appropriate service documentation.

The PRO-2042 review will appear in the Feb 1995 issue of MT,
due out next week.  The BC9000XLT was reviewed in March 1995 MT.

You can obtain reprints of the full reviews for $2 each from
Monitoring Times. I don't receive any part of the $2.

Both are top of the line scanners, and are worth owning.
I enjoy the BC9000XLT (I have two) because it has better
selectivity, smaller bank size, and more features (e.g., CTCSS,
alpha display, extremely fast scan/search).

Should you want a computer controlled scanner, consider the PRO-2042
with an Opto 535 board, but realize that's a lot of money
after you add software, too.

 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.  Optional CTCSS decoder.  |
 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.  IFs are 380.7/254.4, 58.075, 0.455 MHz.  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.


 PRO-2042: 1996 version of the wide coverage  PRO-2035  base
 with  improved  firmware  and  amber display.  Made by GRE.
 1,000 channels,  but  cumbersome  100  channel  bank  size.
 Tuning  knob.   NFM  selectivity  is  still  a  problem but
 improved over PRO-2035.  10 linkable search  banks.   Smart
 Auto Store feature stores the unique frequencies.  Can lock
 out up to 200  frequencies  from  search.   Query  facility
 indicates if and in what channel a frequency is programmed.
 Scan skips over empty  channels  automatically.   Can  sort
 memories  by  frequency  within  a  given bank.  Broader IF  |
 selectivity than PRO-2006.  Overall, a  top  grade  scanner
 and  second  only  to  Uniden/Bearcat  BC9000XLT.  See "The  |
 Radio Shack PRO-2042," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in  Monitoring  |
 Times, February 1996.

Chris,

For the most part, as far as I know, the air ambulances are using
whatever frequencies the requesting fire department asks them to use. I
know that Flight For Life McHenry (IL) uses 154.265 and 154.400. When we
ask for them, they go to our fireground frequency 154.370.

Hope this helps.

Pat

                  --------------------------------

        **** Announcing the release of PD version 2.00. ****

PD is an MS-DOS program for decoding POCSAG paging transmissions on an
IBM PC or equivalent, 80286 processor or later.

PD requires a simple interface between the audio output of a scanner or
receiver and a COM port on the PC. This is described in the documentation
file.

The following are some of the many improvements over Version 1.02:

* Now supports 2400 baud and has auto bit-rate detection.
* Will now attempt to correct up to 2 bit errors in a codeword.
* Will now attempt to auto-detect numeric or alphanumeric data.
* Now supports logging of all messages to daily log files.
* Logging now continues whilst in PAUSE mode.
* PAGERS.INI and REJECT.INI will now allow comments after pager addresses.
* PAGERS.INI and REJECT.INI will now allow wildcards in pager addresses.
* PAGERS.INI and REJECT.INI will now accept up to 250 entries each.
* Date format may now be configured for the US market.
* Will now correctly display "umlaute" characters used in German.
* Screen colours may now be configured.

PD is distributed as shareware. The shareware version has a 5 - minute
timeout and does not log to disk. The full version is available from the
author on payment of a registration fee.

PD is available by ftp from the following site:

ftp.demon.co.uk    /pub/ham/scanners/pd-200.zip

I am the victim of terrible front end overload, as I live
on the campus of a medical center (lots of pagers abound)
that is located in the center of a city with lots of tall
buildings and powerful transmitters.  The sources seem to
be concentrated in the 151-153MHz range.  I have read about
the Grove paging filter, I forget the model number.  Does
anyone use one and if so, did it work?
Any posts appreciated.

Sorry, I am in the Fairfax area and can pick up from Manassas to Maryland.

An example of my fustration was this past weekend when there were people
trapped on the rocks at Great Falls in Mclean - The first rescue that day
(there were two) was coming in loud and clear until someone suggested that
they all switch to Fairfax Fire channel 6!! - lost them.  The second resuce
that day stayed on the dispatch channel and I got to hear all of the
communications between the ground units and the chopper, rather interesting.

So - it is the channels that the units switch to after dispatch has given the
call that I seek.

I have consulted the 96' version of police call (beyond) and the trunked
freqs. they give me have nothing but some plumbers chatting about there next
stop!?! and a cell call every now and them.

thanks for any help.
Wayne.

WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SELLING YOUR ICOM'S SEPARATELY?  IF SO, I'D PAY
YOU $600 (NEGOTIABLE) OR SO FOR THE R71A.  LET ME KNOW, IF YOU'VE NOT ALREADY

I have had numerous satisfying dealings with Pioneer Electronics in Oregon.
They are a discount Radio Shack dealer, and they specialize in RS scanners.
They advertise every month in US Scanner News.

I have even been able to get out-of-production units through them.... like 2
Pro-2006 and two Pro-43 scanners 1.5 years after they were discontinued!

You would think this would be easy for Uniden to figure out. The
BC100XLT and BC200XLT have duplicate entry detection. You try to store
the same frequency on a second memory and the display shows the other
channel number. If that's what you really intended, you just press
Enter again and it stores the frequency on the second channel.

Maybe Uniden should take a look at some of their past products.

I'm getting ready to get a BC230XLT.

There is a feature on it that I believe was discussed here once
but I can't remember what the answer was.

The question is... what does "SVC" stand for and what does it do?

Thanks in advance

I have noticed that NB HP uses DPL on the 42.xx MHz system thruout the
state.  I also noted that there are several different codes use on the
same freqs within the same district.  Is there anyone out there with a
breakdown of the various DPL codes used in NB?

Thanks

Dano,

I agree with Michael, It is a huge problem.  But I have a question for you.

How in the world can you hear a digital signal being transmitted on the
900 Mhz cordless telephone band?  Analog is easy, however, YOU must have
some pretty high dollar equipment to decode binary (digital).

I agree with Steve, but if your hell-bent on accessing celluar
why not look at modifying a celluar phone! I have seen a cell
phone mod(keyboard) on this topic in this USENET category for
OKI phones. If you can find a used phone that you can easily
modify you are in business. I know a guy at work who bought a
used celluar for 50 bucks.

Here we expend a lot of energy into modifing a scanner to do
the job of a cell phone when we could get a cell phone!

I just got one and it seems to work well, though I did have a similar
circumstance.  I travelled to a hotel where I was attending a class, and
the SCOUT starting registering hit-after-hit in rapid succession.
Turns-out there is a paging tower on top of the hotel that was putting
out a big enough signal to screw-up everything else nearby as long as you
were in the near-field of the thing.

That may be your problem with the FM station... it must be pretty close
by.  As far as I know, all you can do it use a filter.  Someone else on
this group mentioned using one from Radio Shack ($4.99 I think, plus a
bunch of connector adapters to make it hook up to your BNC jacks... it is
designed for 75-ohm "F" connectors).  Haven't tried it myself, so let us
know if it works!

ACARS has nothing to do with anti-collision radar. It stands for
Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System. It is
essentially an air-gnd computer link for exchanging routine reports
and messages between aircraft and ground stations, i.e. information
that was once relayed by voice. Thru a network of sensors on the
aircraft ACARS automatically reports such things as the times of push
back from the gate, take off, landing, gate arrival (known as OOOI for
Out, Off, On and In), aircraft performance, fuel consumption,
position, etc.

131.550 - primary ACARS freq for North America
130.025 - secondary ACARS freq for N.Am
129.125 - tertiary ACARS freq for the US
131.475 - ACARS freq for Air Canada
131.725 - primary ACARS freq for Europe

Valentine One usually wins by a country mile.

Besides excellent filtering and sensitivity, it has arrows which tell you
where the radar signals are coming from, and how many there are. That way
you can spot the X-band radar transmitter hiding in the midst of all the
X-band supermarket door openers.


There is also a model with laser detection as well.

There are several newsgroups handling cellular phone-related topics.
alt.cellular.phone-tech, or something similar... I don't remember
the whole hierarchy, but there are others, including one created
solely for the discussion of the OKI900 cell phone.
The original poster who wants to clone a phone may contact me directly

to his PAID FOR AND LEGITIMATE account, so as to avoid paying a second

Hi!
A few months ago, I noticed a similar problem on the alt.2600 newsgroup
when the first version of PD came out.
Many people couldn't or didn't want to put the decoder circuit together.
I offered to build them for a modest fee ($50), and before I knew it, I
had several people ordering the decoders... All seemed very happy with
theirs.
SO, once again, I am offering to make the decoders available for $50, US.
(I have seen some smaller companies selling similar decoders for
$150-300!)
Let me know.

Recently, I posted  some thoughts on the Pro 2037. I have found what
may be a serious problem with the 2037-lack of sensitivity. After
trying 3 of these scanners all with very poor sensitivity in the VHF
Hi and Air bands, I am convinced it is a design problem. If you have
this scanner, you owe it to yourself to check out the sensitivity of
your unit.
Needless to say, I did not keep the scanner-got a refund.

I am contemplating purchasing a Bel 615STiR radar detector.  This
detector has a remote mounted sensor.  What I have seen advertized
is that the remote sensor is supposed to be mounted in the engine
compartment, I assume just behind the grill.

Does anyone have any experience/opinions about remote mounted
sensors?  Does anyone know of any other brands with a remote
sensor?

What I was thinking of doing is to mount the sensor on my pick-up
trucks fiberglass cap.  I have several questions regarding this
setup:

        1) Can I spray paint the sensor to match the color of my
           truck cap (off white) without effecting the sensors
           performance?

        2) If yes to above, what type of paint will not reduce
           performance and will also adhear to the plastic in
           cold/hot rain/snow weather without cracking/peeling?

        3) Will the added height and not having to look through
           the windshield glass improve the front and rear detection
           performance?  I am not sure if the remote sensor of this
           unit has rear detection.  From the ad it looks as though
           an optional rear "laser" sensor is available to mount on
           a rear window.  Can it see RF in the rear but need
           extra eyes for rear laser detection?

        4) My cap mounted cellular phone antenna would be located
           about 3 feet behind the remote sensor.  Will the 800Mhz RF
           have any effect on the detector/remote sensor?

I am by no means familiar with RF so I was hoping to get some help
in this newsgroup, sorry if it was a bit wordy.

Thanks in advance! Stan

Here is my story with the AOR AR8000.  On January 2, 1996, I ordered the
AR8000 from Grove Enterprises.  The receiver was shipped promptly to me.
As soon as I received it, I unpacked it and removed all the accessories.
I then called Grove and got an RMA to return the unit for the cell mod.
The unit returned to me about one and one-half weeks later.  I began the
process of learning to use it.  Eventually I became comfortable with the
unit and programmed all of my local frequencies in.  Then the fun began.
I began to notice noise on some of the channels that I had programmed in.
Initially, I dismissed it as unusual noise or some other unexplained
phenomenon.

Upon closer observation I noticed that when it stopped on one of these
frequencies, I could cause it to continue scanning by touching the
antennae.  This raised my curiosity.  I got out my trusty Pro-43 and
began to scan side by side.  The AOR would stop on frequencies that the
Pro-43 did not hear.  To make a long story short, I found what is called
the wandering birdie.

I began to watch the scanner closely.  It regularly stopped on these
frequencies:  42.600  460.525  460.350  460.575  163.435  153.485.  The
squelch would open on these frequencies for 5 or 10 minutes, then the
problem would go away.  I have also seen similar occurrences on these
frequencies:  465.375  156.090  155.460  156.670  42.70  154.815.

This problem has effectively rendered the scanner useless to me because
all of these frequencies are local frequencies and one is the local
police frequency.  What good is a scanner if you can't even scan the
local police frequencies???

Today, I called Grove on their Technical Support line.  The first person
I spoke to, told me they had heard of the problem but acted like it was
not a big deal.  She suggested that I call Edco and discuss it with them.


I called Edco and spoke with a very defensive gentleman.  He told me that
it was "designed into the radio and is considered normal."  I decided I
was going nowhere with this guy and gave up.

I called Grove back and spoke to another lady.  She indicated that I was
the first person to ever call them with this problem, but they did have a
modification that they could do which helps to solve the problem.  Only
$59 dollars.  I indicated that I thought since the radio was new, and
because it was such a problem, that they should do the mod for free.  She
said the best they might do is to cover the shipping.  Now it is down to
$50.

Tomorrow I am calling again.  This time we are going to talk about other
options.  To pay $600 for a radio that does not scan is incredibly stupid
to me.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them.

I posted an earlier SOS regarding the AR8000 that I just purchased.  The
problem I am having is with the "wandering birdies."  My radio seems to
have a large number of these.  I am trying to determine if this is a
problem with this particular radio, or if it is a general design problem.
I have read previous posts regarding this problem, but I have not be able
to tell if my problems are bigger than normal.

This particular radio is unpredictable.  I might turn it on and find this
problem immediately, or sometimes it may take 10-30 minutes before it
manifests itself.  It has on occasion, scanned for several hours without
a single problem.  Then it may have a flurry of these birdies.  I have
almost 80 frequencies programmed in.  Of these frequencies, I have had
the birdies on at least 12.  Does this seem higher than normal for this
radio?

Here are the frequencies that I have found the birdies:  465.375  460.525
 460.575  156.090  155.460  153.485  460.350  155.670  42.600  42.700
154.815.

I have one more question.  I have read about the crystal replacement mod.
If anyone has done this mod, I would like to hear if it helped.  I have a
few days to decide whether I want to keep the radio or return it.  Any
advice will be appreciated.

Nate

The AOR AR8000 is a really cool radio.  The alpha tags are great and the
thing has more bells and whistles than any other scanner I know.  But it
also has a dark side.  The most troubling of which it the wandering
birdie problem.  I bought one of these radios and today I put it in the
mail back to Grove for a refund.  I programmed less than 80 channels into
it and of the 80, at one time or another, a birdie appeared on 12 of
those frequencies.  It is a known and well documented problem.  AOR has
not fixed it yet.  The other problem is with the BNC connector.  It seems
to work loose and is difficult to fix.  Good luck

Hi,

I bought an Optoelectronics Scout to go with my AR8000 the other day and
when I tried to find some frequencies, I noticed that the Scout was
amazingly deft at finding ONE frequency.

It found a local radio station, but that was about it.  It found 3 or 4
subfrequencies that were close enough to the radiostation to register a
hit, but all the 800Mhz traffic, all the 130 air traffic, everything
eslse, completely nothing.

So, the question is: Is the scout really worth it?  I sent the unit back
to Opto today to have it checked to make sure it's working correctly, but
they said that I may need a filter that would block out all the FM radio
signals and that this filter is another $99.00 or so.

Does anyone who has this combination or just a Scout in general have any
advice?  Is it worth the price tag, or should I just ask for my money
back?

If you have a Scout and it works great for you, please please let me know!

To me it seems that it would almost work better if I could put it in
capture mode without their supersecret filter mode turned on.  Turning on
the filter really really reduced any other signal's chance of getting
through.

Mint condition Pro-39 -- much like the Pro 43. The '39'  can have numerous
mods done, including cell. This one is pristine and no mods have been
done. Comes with both stock duck antenna and extra one for better cordless
reception. Will ship UPS for $160 total.

A while back someone posted that the Opto 456 installation manual was incorrec
t.
They were correct !
In my manual it says to hook one of the leads to pin 12 or 11 , but the pictur
e shows
the connection to pin 16.
All along I've been connected to 11
I could never figure out how to get the spectrum display to work on scanstar.
I would get a hit and the line would continue across the top of the chart.
After changing to pin 16 the hit spikes and returns back down.

Thanks whoever that was, Thats what this group is about , not knit picking and

price policing and bickering like kindergardeners.

Anyhow thanks whoever.

Yes the SCOUT is worth it.
Try using an antenna tuned for the correct freq.
Next throw a filter on it.
And away you go.

You can see the freq your antenna is tuned for ,
just throw it on the scount and look at the numbers skip around
if they skip around in the 400 range then .... 400 Mhz

I put my cordless phone antenna on and it flipped around 40 - 50
till I turned on the phone . bam . 46.710.

Good Luck

I have the Bel 745STi Plus and it falses on the Ka photo band way too much
for me.  The box seems to see other detectors more than anything!  Anyone
else experience this?

Also, I heard that the 755 is coming out.  Anyone know what the difference is
between them?  Maybe it doesn't false so often.

The problem with the one that's made for it is that it is
thin and offers no protection if dropped.  The one I got at
the gun show is made with the same material that they make
nylon holsters from and and offers some padding in case it
gets knocked around.  Its alot sturdier then a thin piece of
simulated leather.

It is exactly that - a preprogrammed scanner with 800MHz coverage.  It
also has a Highway Patrol "mobile repeater" detector often used by longer
range patrol units.  Additionally it includes all 40 C.B. channels.

It is a huge improvement over the BC350/450A units.  If you want a quick
and easy mobile scanner, this would probably do it for you!

Bob,

Hate to bother you but I have a question or two.

1. Do you have a mod for the squelch tail on the BC3000? I find it
annoyingly too long.

2. How is the tail on the 9000? My 2006 is absolutely perfect...no tail!

Thnaks,

C'mon people, Uniden wants to know what you would want in a
scanner, and this is all you can think of?
How about if you could have a "dream scanner". List every feature
you can dream up. Come up with something no one has thought of
before, or something that no one has, but a feature that you
think a "perfect" scanner should have.
I am sure Uniden will take some of these, and incorperate them in
a future scanner, so now is your chance!

I read in some of Motorola's recent PR literature that the LAPD is going
all digital and that the phase-in will be happening soon - primarily due
to the fact that new radios being bought are analog/digital compatible...
anybody else know about this situation?

Apologies if this question has been asked several times before, but it
seems hard to find the information needed.  I am asking this on behalf
of a friend who wishes to receive ACARS transmissions.

Is there a design for an computer interface that one can build to
decode ACARS ?  I know of the Lowe interface / software.  Being a
Radio Amateur and having built a Baycom interface for packet radio, I
would like to know if something similar exists for ACARS ?  The Baycom
unit is a small (simple) interface which uses two I.C.'s and plugs
into the computer RS232 port.  The total cost to build is about UKP
15-20.  The clever part is in the software which does all the decoding
and error checking.  It would be nice if something similar could be
built by "Amateurs" to decode ACARS.  I know of at least five people
who would build such a unit.

Any info would be most welcome.


TIA,


Ken.

Most people talk about whatever they want.  But, I of course wouldn't know
for sure, b/c I don't listen to cellular.

Well ya know the Pro-43 is capable of 16.8 million colors and has a
rez of 600dpi.  Pretty damn nice for a unit that only has 200
channels.

See ya, Joe

That antenna is way too short for decent performance on 46/49 Mhz.  Try a
dipole or 102" steel whip CB antenna, cut down to size.  Should be good
for a mile or more if you get it up high and in the clear.

In the US it certainly can happen; in fact, it happens every day.  The
issue is whether the *police* violated the law.  If the police legally
obtain evidence from "an anonymous source" (like, the source tells them)
then the evidence is admissable whether or not the non-police informant
broke a law in obtaining the evidence.  For example, if someone
trespasses and finds a marijuana patch and reports it to the cops, the
fact that the discovery ocurred only as a result of a criminal act
matters not a whit - as long as the *police themselves* didn't commit the
crime.

When listening to the Police, I notice the dispatch uses signals # and the
officers use codes (no 10 codes).  The third edition of Monitor America
has the correct signals listed but the codes do not correspond.  Any
information on the codes used for Atlanta PD would be greatly appreciated.

No I am not a glutton for punishment, and I don't have as much free time
on my hands as I wish.  My reasoning is that for those of us who travel
and take our scanners with us, sometimes just having the freqs of the TRS
isn't enough.  We need to know if we can listen to it, or if it will drive
us crazy (Ericsson systems).

A list of all TRS users, the type of system, and whether or not it is in
the clear will help out many scanner owners, including myself.

I posted an earlier SOS regarding the AR8000 that I just purchased.  The
problem I am having is with the "wandering birdies."  My radio seems to
have a large number of these.  I am trying to determine if this is a
problem with this particular radio, or if it is a general design problem.
I have read previous posts regarding this problem, but I have not be able
to tell if my problems are bigger than normal.

This particular radio is unpredictable.  I might turn it on and find this
problem immediately, or sometimes it may take 10-30 minutes before it
manifests itself.  It has on occasion, scanned for several hours without
a single problem.  Then it may have a flurry of these birdies.  I have
almost 80 frequencies programmed in.  Of these frequencies, I have had
the birdies on at least 12.  Does this seem higher than normal for this
radio?

Here are the frequencies that I have found the birdies:  465.375  460.525
 460.575  156.090  155.460  153.485  460.350  155.670  42.600  42.700
154.815.

I have one more question.  I have read about the crystal replacement mod.
If anyone has done this mod, I would like to hear if it helped.  I have a
few days to decide whether I want to keep the radio or return it.  Any
advice will be appreciated.

Shawn Raper

I would return it personally. I mean after paying the price for it they
expect you to open it up, and solder in the crystal. Not that I mind
opening up stuff and making mods, But I sure do not like buying something
brand new and having to do thier work.

I recently acquired a pro39 (for xmas actually). It is my first
scanner. It is modified for cellular and cordless telephone
transmissions, and that is what it is primarily used for. It has a
stock antena etc. I really don't know too much about it, I was
wondering if anyone knows of a pro-39 FAQ or something of the like,
possibly someone could concoct one of their own and relay it here, or
to me via email.. It would be greatly appreciated. I enjoy the scanner
emensley, but now I am content on expanding my capabilites, by any
upgrades necessary to receive maximum effeciency in my every-day
scanning. If anyone could shine some light on this subject, in any way
at all.. please respond via email. Any conversation would be greatly
appreciated.

I don't know who to clone cell phones, but the subject line
brings me back to a point I've pondered. With all the cell
phones out there, and all the users, surely there are some
who are somewhat technically oriented. Yet I have not seen
a newsgroup dedicated to the discussion of cell phone use,
technology, bargains, payment plans, carrier comparisons and
the like. There is a note in this group from time to time,
usually about monitoring cell phones or making mods in
scanners to enable that function. Is there a group out there
I am missing? Does it strike anyone else out there as odd
that there is no such news group if in fact there isn't?

I've owned a cell phone for about three months now and found
it to be a useful tool. I'd probably contribute questions, if
not answers, to such a group if I could find one!

this will not work with AMPS?   Is there a mod for the software??  I have not
went out and bought a phone as I believe this set up will not work in Canada?

I know where to get a phone right now so let me know ASAP.

Does anyone have the mod for removing that idiot beep from the

Are there any other mods I should know about.

I have the RS discone antenna on my roof 4 stories up, I have
it grounded at the antenna and just before my scanner.
Tonight something strange happened.  The antenna was
disconnected from the scanner "thank god." There was a discharge from the
tip of the PL-259 plug to the outer screw part where the ground is
connected to the coax.  It was like a static discharge but, its not static
because it shocked me it felt like 120V. It discharges about every 30
seconds.  Its raining outside no lightning and the antenna, coax or ground
is not making contact to 120V anywhere.

Any answers            Thanks.

I am not a antenna god either, but your TV ant should work better
than you would think because TV freq's are scattered all around
the freq's that most scanners pick up.

It does not hurt that it is usually 30 - 40 ft of the ground!

I have had ok results in hotels just by hanging a long wire out the
window! ( That has been hard to explain to the airport security,
why I have 50 ft of wire with me!!)

  ONLY DO THIS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA!  Sorry to shout, but
charging a lead-acid battery off-gasses hydrogen...
maybe you've heard about the Hindenberg.

  For those in Rio Linda, hydrogen is very, very, very flammable.
Also very, very, very inflammable.  I know, one of those *should*
mean, "it doesn't burn", but that's a George Carlin joke.

  Anyway, hydrogen burns readily and is very dangerous.
Again, only charge a lead-acid "automobile" type battery in a well
ventilated area.

It's been a long time since I was in school studying EE. I originally tried
using a 100pf capacitor instead of a .1uf capacitor, thinking 1000pf = 1uf.
Wrong! 1000000pf = 1uf! Now the circuit works okay, but the percentage of page
s
w/o erros is from 45-80%. I just added a .1uf capacitor between the Op Amp
output (pin 6) and ground, and my percentage of error free pages is 80 to
over 90%! If I looked at the output on a scope, I'm sure I'd see a difference.

Have you seen anything really interesting? The most interesting thing I've
seen so far is the AirTouch Paging Sports Update w/ the NBA scores.

Did you pay the shareware fee to get the full version? Did you have to send an
international money order for 20 pounds sterling?

Oh well, I'm glad it works now. Thanks!

Stephen

Hi,

I've been looking to get a new handheld scanner.  I have a 2006 and like it
alot but would like to get something portable.  I have been reading here
about the AR8000 and it sounds like a great scanner.  I looked at the Yupi's
but the 7100, 7200 can't be computered controlled.  I have a couple questions
that I hope some of you will answer.

1.  I have heard the the AR8000 senstivity isn't very good on low ban VHF
(40-50MHZ) range is this true.  I like wanted to use the unit to monitor the
California Highway Partol and they use 42-43mhz.

2.  This birdie problem has really got me concerned.  Are there any real
remedies for this yet?

3.  Can I order the unit from a place like Javiation without too much hassle?
(I'm in the US)

In terms of allowing control of the radio none. They all allow
communication with the radio.

AOR CU-8232 is self powered from the AR8000. The CU-8232 can also be
            used to clone the cotents of one AR8000 to another without
            the need of a Computer.
            It can only be used with the AR8000

Opto CX-12  Requires a seperate 12v supply. Uses two leads with 3.5mm
            sockets which "Plug" into a small "vero board" connector.
            You can modify the AR8000 with two 3.5mm sockets that "do
            away" with the need to use the AR8000 flat ribbon connector
            The CX-12AR can also be used with Icom equipment and other
            Opto devices such as the Scout.

AR8000INF   Don't really know much about this. Powered from your PC I
            beleive. Like the CU-8232 can only be used with the AR8000.

Hope this is of some help.

I owned a Yupi 7100 for two years and just sold it to purchase an AR8000.
If computer control and fancy features don't thrill you, go with the
7100.  I had a chance to compare the two briefly and feel the Yupi is the
superior receiver.  It is more sensitive, and more "solid".  However, the
AR8000 is the way to go if you want lots of customizable features and
alphanumeric tags, etc.

I do believe with an adequate antenna, the AR8000 performs as well as the
Yupi. But, the antenna is more crucial to the AR than the Yupi, which is
very sensitive with just a whip.  Feel free to e-mail me with questions!

Does anyone know of a description of a modification for the computer
interface port on the AR8K to go to a couple of stereo plugs on the side,
similar to the Scout modification?

It is VERY annoying to have to take the unit apart just to plug in to my
computer (well, take off the leather case, battery slide, etc...)...plus
that flat cable system looks VERY fragile.

Thanks.

All you need to do is carry out the Scout mod but use a STEREO jack
socket and wire the TX data line too and not just the RX data line as
required for the Scout. That gives you GROUND, TX data and RX data. This
stereo socket can then be used for a Scout connection or as an interface
connection to a PC. No need for two sockets.

Where did get the fix it sheet I have a AOR1000XLT and ever since I bought
1992,I have had nothing but problems with it for bad reception.I havea
Regency HX 1500 that has better reception then the AOR1000 XLT now it is in to
be fixed again .I wouldn't recomend this scanner to any one.. It has some good
features but that is about it. Just after I bought mine then AOR came out with
the AR1500 that has SSB on it ,that I wish the AOR1000xlt had,witch kind of
tick me off but then I guess thats scanners... Now I have a BC8500xlt thats
not bad but I wish there were some mods for the Cellular phones...

I posted an earlier SOS regarding the AR8000 that I just purchased.  The
problem I am having is with the "wandering birdies."  My radio seems to
have a large number of these.  I am trying to determine if this is a
problem with this particular radio, or if it is a general design problem.
I have read previous posts regarding this problem, but I have not be able
to tell if my problems are bigger than normal.

This particular radio is unpredictable.  I might turn it on and find this
problem immediately, or sometimes it may take 10-30 minutes before it
manifests itself.  It has on occasion, scanned for several hours without
a single problem.  Then it may have a flurry of these birdies.  I have
almost 80 frequencies programmed in.  Of these frequencies, I have had
the birdies on at least 12.  Does this seem higher than normal for this
radio?

Here are the frequencies that I have found the birdies:  465.375  460.525
 460.575  156.090  155.460  153.485  460.350  155.670  42.600  42.700
154.815.

I have one more question.  I have read about the crystal replacement mod.
If anyone has done this mod, I would like to hear if it helped.  I have a
few days to decide whether I want to keep the radio or return it.  Any
advice will be appreciated.

I just had 5 radios stolen including my AR3000 which I really liked. I
can't afford to replace much now.  Is the 8000 worth it?  I intend on
using Scancat-gold for computer control.  How is the HF SSB quality?

I have designed a switching scheme that allows the user to select
the stock 12KHz AM filter or the narrow SSB 4.0KHz while still in
the AM mode. I have found this to make a BIG difference when trying
to receive a weak shortwave station next to a very strong one.
The only part required is a switch and some wire.
My mod has no effect on the use of the DS8000 speech inversion accessory.

Send me email if interested.

You CAN get the service manual from Uniden Customer Service!

[phone]

If you work on your scanner without a service manual, you're
setting yourself up for trouble!!

But anyway, the Discriminator Output (baseband audio) for
the Uniden BC-200XLT is at IC-401, Pin 11.  The IF Filter
is FL-200 at Pins 3 & 6 of IC-401.

I just got a BC890XLT for free and know little about scanning. I use the 890
to listen to ham 2m. I have the following questions;
1. Is the 890 identical to the Radio Shack Pro2036?
2. Are there other BC or RS models with basically the same main PC board?
3. Are there any mods to make it cover 800-899MHZ?
4. I don't see any comments on it on the news group.  Is it a good/bad unit?
5. Why won't it pickup a 49.875MHZ baby monitor when monitor is next to it?
6. It won't pickup 49.860 cheap walkie-talkie. Is that because walkie-talkie
is AM and scanner is looking for FM?
Thanks.

Near as I can tell from the two I tested side-by-side,
the BC890XLT and PRO-2036 are identical except the squelch
controls work in opposite directions and they have different
coloring and labeling.

The PRO-2036 manual is better than the BC890XLT manual.

I reviewed both in June 1995 Monitoring Times and was greatly
disappointed in their performance.

Sounds like your scanner may be broken if it cannot hear
a baby monitor or walkie talkie in the same room.

    I have a BC9000XLT that works GREAT with the little whip antenna it
came with.  I have no problem pulling in very clear signals from the
suburbs where I live up to 15 miles away.  To extend my range, I purchased
a highly recommended scanner antenna from a well known national dealer.
To test the antenna, I took my radio up to the third floor, and connected
it with just six feet of top quality, low-loss coax with new connectors and
no adapters.  The antenna is rated 30 MHz - 900 MHz.

    I made comparisons by alternating between the antennas on each of the
bands:    46 MHz, 155 MHz, 460 MHz, and 855 MHz.  I rotated the new
antenna through several positions to rule out directionality.  Although the
new antenna could receive the usual local signals just fine, in every
instance the little whip antenna beat out the new one by catching faint
signals that the other missed totally (even with the squelch all the way
down).

    The dealer recommended I return the antenna for a refund.  They felt
the problem was caused by so many strong signals in my area making my
receiver "de-sensitize", as opposed to the antenna or balun being
defective.  Is this really a likely explanation?  If so, is there anything
I can do to receive fainter signals as well as the strong local signals?

    Thanks...

    Too weak to listen to for any length of time,Benito. I have an

data feed.  I am thinking that a long wire would probably be the
easiest.  Opinions?
     From your broadcast days, do you know anything about cable TV
licensing?  The member park we belong to runs its own system, 11
channels for $60 a month.  The picture quality is mostly lousy to
unwatchable.  I realize that cable has been deregulated, but I assume
that they still need a license to operate.  Would it be thru the
Arizona PUC or the FCC?  I am thinking of pulling their chain a bit
since the cable charge is mandatory, even though many of us have
satellite sets and don't use it.
     Since they rebroadcast the Phoenix stations, would they need an
agreement with each station to "sell" its signal?
     Just wondering........

Continued from Message 39106...

I heard Motorcade P (President), F (First Lady), V (Vice-President), C,
D, and S.  I am unsure what C, D, and S stand for.  Possibilities are
Cabinet, Dignitaries, and Supreme Court.

Also, there probably was substantial simplex traffic near the Capitol
grounds and inside the building.  I was too far away to hear anything
but the repeater traffic, but this is probably where the main ops were
anyways.

Anyone with further info. please post it for the benefit of everyone...

I bought a special splitter from a local CB store, that keeps the
impedance correct, and is basicly a "TAP".  I never had a problem with
it.


The part number at Grove is CPL63M or CPL63B for Motorola, or BNC
respectivly.  about $15.00  Rated at 30-960 MHz.

I ordered and received a case for my PRO26 through Radio Shack and I'm
glad I did.  Its a custom fit and looks great.  Be warned though, it
is VERY snug when initially putting it on the radio.  Had to really
work the case over my handheld.

Can you still push the buttons, etc. while in the case? I assume it
has some sort of clear plastic front.

I'm thinking of buying one but don't know what they look like. So, any
info you can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks.

        You are right.  I just received the case and I am fairly
disappointed.  It is very thin simulated leather, doesn't fit very well,
and the display is not even covered with transparent plastic to protect it
from getting scratched.  Try something else...

Does anyone know if there is a cassette tape available that will record for
greater than 120 minutes?  I am looking for a tape that will record 90
minutes per side for a total of 3 hours.

Thanks

I tend to agree. However if your application is low bandwidth (like voice)
you can buy a slow-speed recorder that puts 3 hrs on each side of
a 90 minute cassette. Marketed for talk radio fans. Sorry I don't
have the details, but it shouldn't be hard to find- just call your
local talk-radio station.

FWIW, TDK once made a 180-minute cassette. I have one. The tape is so thin
you can literally see through it. I wouldn't trust it for anything
critical.

Consider the use of and old VCR -- you can get 6-8 hours.
Typically, if the old units go bad -- it is usually a  video
or belt problem so you can pick these up cheap. You could even
consider an old Beta.

Of course you would need to go from RCA out to somthing to hear
the signals. Some units have headphone jacks.

assumption that you record and play back on the same machine:

1. you could modify a cassette deck slowing down the tape speed (usually a
pot adjustment inside deck) but this reduces the audio bandwith

2. use an old (extra) vcr; use the audio in/out (RCA jacks) and record off
the aux channel (line in or what-ever the manafucatur calls those
inputs) you can get 6 or 8 hours depending on what tape you buy. 120/160

Speed control varies with model.  Some use a pot while others have a
mechanical control inside the motor (but perhaps accessible).  However,
equalization will be incorrect so changing by a large amount may result
in poor quality sound.

If you use a HiFi VCR, the audio quality will be nearly that of a CD.
Only caution is that some VCRs require a video signal to maintain stable
speed lock - just use your own audio.

from what I understand, you take off cover and there are two diodes
visible in the front. clip both, one gives you faster scanning speed
and the other opens up the cell phone frequencies.

The mod for cell restoration & speed increase for the Pro 2006 is VERY
easy. I only regret not having the mod sheet, as I loaned it out without
any back-up copies! Two diodes are to be cut, one enabling full 800 Mhz
and the other giving a slight scan speed increase. The mod works with no
side effects, as I restored mine about 3 yrs ago & has been ok. I will
seach other places for the diodes to be cut & will get back to you ASAP.

I have a photocopy of a page of the APCO "Ten Code" list from the book
_Communications Monitoring_ (see below).  Most of the Ten Codes used around
here track closely with the list, as they probably do in most localities.
These codes cover most all situations and provide the necessary "shorthand"
to provide quick information to the officers/etc. and dispatchers.

Where things get really grey and don't translate is in the use of "code,"
"signal," and other shorthand items.  The Town of Blacksburg police has a
list of about 30 "codes," of which they use about six or eight.  The most
common is "code 4," as in a dispatcher asking "Unit 486, code 4?" and
unit 486 replying "code 4" to indicate that all is well, the situation is
under control, or "I'm awake and listening."  They also use "code 8" to
indicate that they are going to the town shops to get gas in the car. An
officer headed to "code 19" is taking someone to the magistrate/jail in
nearby Christiansburg.  They also have several "codes" to refer to common
crimes and incidents, such as vandalism, theft, suicide, etc.  The other
local police departments don't use "codes" much, if at all.  The Virginia
State Police use "signal" in some transmissions, mostly "signal 26" to have
the dispatcher set up a car-to-car link through the dispatch channel so
a trooper can talk to another trooper elsewhere in the division and out of
range of the normal car-to-car channel.

To try to collect all the codes and signals would be a daunting task and
would require quite a database.  It might be nice to have for folks who
travel to other localities and like to know what a "code 7" is when a call
is nearby their location.  Anyone who cares to take on such a task and pulls
it off will earn my admiration.

Now for the 10 codes; they came from _Communications Monitoring_:

  What is the current list of freq. for Ct. St. Police?   I keep seeing
42.0400, 42.6400, 42.6800 but I never hear anything on those.  ever since they

moved into new barracks at Bridgeport and put in the highway cameras I was
told they moved up to the higher freq.

  Any ideas?

I agree on the length being a little short, but living in the
LA/Orange county, CA area I almost wouldnt want more range,
as I would constantly lose my signal as a new one came on.

Also, it would be hell going thru the drive-thru windows!

CTCSS stands for Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System and is used on
shared radio channels so that various groups of users do not have to
listen to each other.  When the appropriate sub audible tone is
transmitted, and received the CTCSS circuit in the radio allows the audio
to pass through the radio to the listener.  This system is also know as PL
(private line) and other manufacturer picked names which all mean the use
of a privacy type squelch system.  The DPL system operates much the same
way but uses a digital sequence instead of a tone.

You would not need a CTCSS decoder to listen to any system using PL or
DPL... unless you are trying to 'filter' out another user of the same
radio frequency.

The OPP uses (at least the last time I was there a couple years ago) an
audible marker tone that when the tone is active, does not use PL.  When
there is voice on the channel, PL is also present.  Several scanner stores
in Ontario modified scanners with PL decoders to allow listeners to filter
out the offensive marker tone.

Now, some Uniden scanners are available that have PL decoders in them, and
will allow one to monitor channels that use PL, and keep these marker
tones at bay.

Be advised that only some agencies use PL, some use DPL.  There are no
scanners that can use DPL now, but I have heard rumors that Uniden is
working on that.

The newer Unidens will allow you to program any channel with any PL.  The
old mods only allowed a single PL universally thruout the radio.  If a
channel used a different PL, then you were out of luck.

Depends on what they bought it for.  Some buy for what you indicated, but ther

are those that buy it for the clarity, and the extended range.

The same is true for those cordless phones that double as a cell phone when yo

Even some of the radio shack 900mhz cordless phones are very wide band
(spread spectrum). You won't pick them up with a scanner.

That depends what you want.  Do you want to turn off the beep?  Do you want to

install a toggle switch that turns off the LCD backlight?  Do you want to
replace the BNC with an Nintendo Joystick Port?

Literally hundreds of mods are possible, but few are generally usable to most
owners.  I haven't seen any others than the 800 restoration in "published"
form.

I am curious as to the designations of business radio frequencies as
colors, for example: "green dot", "blue dot", "purple dot", or " red
dot".  I have found out that "green dot" is 154.600 Mhz and "blue dot is
154.570 Mhz.   I understand the above are VHF and there exist several UHF
named frequncies as well:  "yellow" "brown", "J", "K", "blue star", "gold
star", "red star", and "silver star".  It is reported that "yellow" is
464.550 Mhz.

Does anyone know the other frequencies?  If so please post them or email

If you take the standard 4 verticals antenna array and tip the axis 90
degrees so that the scan is in elevation rather than azimuth what info are
you really getting?  Are you really determining the vertical angle of the
incoming wavefront? Could you jump to some conclusions about the height of
the reflecting layer if you knew the location of a distant low band skip
station?  Come on Cheek or someone... whats the answer.

New this is $1000 from Opto, I am asking $750 or best offer

The unit is in perfect conditon, and has seen very little use.

The perfect use for this is in conjunction with the Scout or Interceptor,
it provides a very significant boost in capture range.

I was using it with the Scout/AOR-8000 combo and it worked great.

I purchased this for a project and no longer need it.

Can anyone out there help me? A friend of mine had a program that was a
Dbase program for Freq's that listed them by city, state, etc.. The
program was DOS based and was made under the directory "freq". I am trying
to locate a copy of this program, or some where I can order it from. If
anyone can provide me with info, please send it to my email address below.
Thanks.

Check your local Radio Shack.  They usually have a sheet of local

Hi again gang,

What are the general opinions on frequency counters currently on the
market?  What are some important features that I should be looking for?

Thanks for any helpful advice in advance.

Jason,

I purchased an Optoelectronics MiniCounter 3300 from Grove Electronics
about a year ago. While it is a quality unit and I haven't expeirienced
any problems with it, there are a few things I wish were different.

1) With this unit, you need to be watching the display for a 'hit'. When
it zeros in on a freq, you need to hit the 'hold' switch to stop the
counter so you can write the frequency down or enter it in your scanner.
SO, it would be nice if the counter logged frequecies by itself without
you having to watch the display.

2) The frequency range is nice: 1MHz - 2800MHz. But, they break it down
into two counting 'bands' I guess you could say. The first is a "250 MHz"
range and the second is a "2.8GHz" range. I think this means the first
covers 1-250 and the second, 250 - 2800. I wish it were split into bands
similar to what our scanner uses.For instance, if I'm searching for a
frequency I know will either be in the 155 MHz area OR  the 460 MHz area,
I don't want to have to monitor awhile on the counter's 250 MHz range for
155 MHZ and then have to flip up to the 2.8GHz range for the 460 MHz freq.
Know what I mean? If someone transmits on 460.xxx when I'm searching only
up to 250 MHz, I've lost that potential hit.

I could live with it a little easier if the ranges were 1-512 (or
somewhere thereabouts) and 512 - on up. That would put all 'old' and
conventional systems in on area, and the 800MHz band in another.

The best scenario is one range of 1- 1000MHz and a second from 1000MHz -
on up. But, they didn't really design this counter for a scanner's use.
Frequency counters are really test equipment, and have to be adapted
somewhat to our purposes.

Which brings me to the last point :  antennas and filters. While the
counter has  two 'ranges', you really can't maximize your reception unless
you have the proper antenna (this is common to all radio reception of
course). There's the trade off - you want to be able to log hits in a
broad range of frequencies, like me, at least 30MHz to 512MHz. This would
mean a broad banded antenna, which also means lower gain, i.e., you have
to be closer to the signal source to receive it. If you want to be farther
away from the signal source, use an antenna designed specifically for a
single 'band'. Of course, this is usually not practical because we seldom
know what band the frequency is in that we want -  that's why we're using
the counter!
Grove sells a set of antennas for different ranges. So, if you know what
band you want to search, put on the proper antenna. They do have a
telescoping antenna  whose length can be adjusted on the fly as you
encounter different situations with your counter.

The other item is filters. While I haven't yet used any, I am real close
to buying some. The interference on my Pro-43 from a local paging
transmitter is awful. And you'll find that pagers and broadcast radio will
cause your counter to lock on their freq's when you're searching for a
frequency of interest. So, check out the paging transmitters in your area.
If you're planning to use the counter near them, get filters that block
out those particular frequencies. But, be forewarned, they're not cheap,
especially if you need several different ones for different areas,
applications or radios


Hope this helps you,

=============================

I use a Radio Shack signal splitter (the cheap TV splitter
w/F-connectors), and it works well here in Phoenix. I notice little
signal loss,but then I'm in a signal-rich environment.

I have a PRE-5 ahead of my R7100. The remote amp is mounted _inside_
the rotatable section of mast about one foot from my Create LPDA
antenna. The results are excellent. I can continuously vary the signal
level as indicated on the S-meter. I leave the amp on all the time to
keep it dried out. I get Q5 copy on one FLTSATCOM bird (23W) between
216.025 and 262.975. I previously used the PRE-4 and found it nearly
as good. It is over on my discone now.

If your PRE-5 is giving similar results I would guess that either your
unit is defective or your feedline is of poor quality. For week signal
VHF/UHF the PRE-5 is an excellant addition to your shack. I would
recommend it highly.

See, Bill (Grove) I can be objective when the product merits it.

Hackers have long had an interest and even an affinity for scanning and
ham radio--the reasons are pretty obvious I guess. Anyway, two recent
books--Takedown by John Markoff and Tsutomu Shimomura and The Fugitive
Game by Jonathan Littman--should be of interest to many scanner buffs.
Both stories are about "darkside" uberhacker Kevin Mitnick and go into
depth about how Mitnick used scanners and cellular phones to stay a step
ahead of the law and then how the law and Shimomura used modified Oki
cellphones/laptops and other gear to nab Mitnick. Both are fun reads. The
Littman book is the more interesting and better written of the two, but
you should really read both of them if you want the complete picure on
Mitnick.

I've seen a Pro 43 with the FCC ID ending in A, but the serial number
didn't.

If you want the best, get the Valentine-1.  About $400 with laser.

Hello Everybody,
 In my truck at work I have a Motorola MDT8100 terminal and a Bearcat
560xlt scanner about a foot apart, and whenever the terminal goes into
screen saver mode the scanner locks up on vhf-low channels with heavy
static.  Does anyone have any ideas for shielding the scanner? I cant
move them apart and I cant turn the terminal off.

Thanks

Tim

I am looking for my first scanner.  I live close to O'Hare airport and
would like to pick up airline communications.  I also live close to
some high power lines, about one block east and two blocks south of my
house, and want a unit that would not be affected too much by those
lines.  I would like to spend about $200, but would consider more if
that is what is needed for a good unit.

Thanks

Recently, I posted this problem

Use pin 16

Same location as the chip pictured
Same pin
but your correct
it says 12 it shows 14 it MEANS 16.

Define indoors. In your attic, in your closet, on the top of your scanner?

Last month I purchased an AR-8000 and planned to use it for Scanning and
Satellite SCPC listening (950 Mhz - 1450 Mhz from LNB).I connected the
Receiver to the Satellite LNB and was searching for the SCPC
signals,between 1300 Mhz -1430 Mhz I started to pick up Cell phones,taxi
cabs,and other general mobile radio signals.Now because of these images in
that Freq range even while connected to the LNB the AR-8000 was useless
for SCPC reception.Since that was one of the main reasons I purchased the
receiver I decided to return it for a refund.I would like to know if
anyone else has found these images in that Freq range on the AR-8000?I
would also like to hear from Owners of the Yupiteru 7100 or 7200 on if
they heard Images in the 950 Mhz - 1450 Mhz range?I am considering
purchasing a Yupiteru Receiver.but If they have imaging problems in that
frequency range I would go in a different direction.I would rather buy a
very fast quality pure
scanner like the BC9000XLT and find another way to receive SCPC.

After reading your post I turned on my AR-8000 (using just the supplied
antenna) and started at 1430 going downward and sure enough I was hearing lots

of cell phones??  I can not answer what is happening - just confirming that
you are correct.  Maybe someone wiser than I can help us out here.

You are hearing images of cell phone base stations.  The first
IF in the AOR AR8000 is (approximately) 275.45 MHz or 736.25 MHz,
depending on the band being tuned.

Add or subtract twice the IF from the frequency to which
you were tuned:

          1430 - 2 * IF
        = 1430 - 2 * 275.45
        = 1430 - 550.9
        = 879.1 MHz, which is in the band used by cell phone base
                transmitters

When your AR8000 is set to 1430 MHz, the 1st local oscillator
is generating a signal near 1154.55 MHz.  The two signals mix
to produce the IF of 275.45 MHz.

At the same time, a cell phone base transmitting on or
near 879.1 MHz also mixes with the AR8000's 1154.55 local
oscillator, and the difference is also 275.45 MHz, the IF.

I enjoy hearing music and sounds from my computer but unfortunatly,
everytime I plug a line into sound card for my ext. speakers, it
interferes with my scanner. I had missed some fire calls and when I
turned CTSSC of on my BC890XLT, all I heard was static. And using the
squelch knob didn't work. So with CTSSC on, the PL tone is masked and
I hear nothing.... With it off, I get an annoying hiss. I can turn the
scanner up in my truck, open the window and hope I hear the radio
traffic over the music... Plus it's kinda cold right now.

Anyone have a solution?

Sounds like computer hash noise is being radiated from your
loudspeaker cables straight into your scanner, Try winding the
cable(s) several turns around a ferrite rod antenna, any old type
bought or junked. The rod 'absorbs' the interference.The turns
should be tight and close to the computer. Best solution is to use
a antenna well away from the PC. Good luck, it's a tough problem
to crack.

I have been seeing ads for a Double Duck (tm) ANT-96 antenna that I am
considering for my BC2500. The ad claims that their pair of flexible
antennas, mounted side-by-side, replacing my single antenna, will increase
my receiving distance. The antenna pair are parallel with no space between
them and connect at their base with a standard BNC connector.

Can anyone verify whether the ad claim is true?

Their digital stuff is still in the analog mode. You can tell if an
Astro or digital Saber is in use if there is also an older radio in use.
You will hear an "echo" because the Astro radios take about 1/2 second
longer to process the audio. If you watch the show "LAPD" you will hear
this sometimes.

Hello Bill,

This thread about using a tv antenna, but I have a question about
it....

I use my tv antenna for ....tv! I'd like to  add a rotator and also use
it for scanning. Would it be better to use it horizontally or
vertically? Which would be more forgiving of the loss of signal
strength?

Also, would the directional aspect of such an antenna more pronounced
when the antenna is vertical or horizontal? (which way is the beamwidth
narrower?)

Thanks, Bill for all of your help here.

I am interested in purchasing a tape recorder advertised in MT that
tout's 10hr recording time.  It is sold by VIKING INTERNATIONAL out
of San Francisco.  I would like to hear from users of this recorder
about its performance.  I am interested in the following.

        - Does it have excessive warble (speed not constant)
        - Is it's tape speed constant throughout the tape or is
          it faster or slower at the begining, middle & end of tape.
        - What is the sound quality like.
        - What length tape do you recommend using for best performance.

This is going to be a gift for my wife to use to record traffic on the
scanner and various radio talk shows she likes.

Thanks for any input you could supply.

John

I'm interested in your database, but I'm not willing to give out my

Is this what the address is used for?

I have heard of a scanner store in California called "Scanners Unlimited" and
was wondering if anyone could e-mail me with an address and/or phone number.

Thank you,

Back when I lived in the Bay Area, Scanners Unlimited was located in San
Carlos (on the Peninsula).  It was 1 block west of El Camino Real.  Owned
by Glen Cohen.

Also, there was a place in Concord called the Base Station that had a
fair amount of scanner goodies.

I worked out in the Bay Area from 1991-mid 1992 and was a frequent visitor to
Scanners Unlimited. Glenn is very knowledgable and not only sells scanners and
related poublications, but also performs technical work on radios. I purchased
and used many of his home published frequency guides and found them quite
helpful. I only wish that their was a place in northern NJ that was as good
as Glenn's. Plan on visiting Glenn for the best in scanning products and
information. Regards, Don  N2QAY

NW Iowa would make Offutt AFB, your nearest AF location, but if you live
more than 30 miles I doubt you will pick up much.

The tower and planes would be between 270 and 350 Mhz usually, your
best chance would be the approaching/departing planes, if they
fly in your direction.

I am lucky to live in the LA/Orange county, CA area so I have several
AF, Marine spots around.  I only listen when I am within eyesight
as otherwise it just is lousy!

The 185th Fighter Group, Iowa Air National Guard, is located at Souix City
Municipal Airport in NW Iowa.  I often hear them checking in with
Minneapolis center on 269.0 Mhz from my location in Omaha Nebraska.  They
fly F-16's and go by the callsign BAT.

The 132nd FW, IA ANG (HAWKEYE), which are located at the Des Moines
International Airport, may also be heard when they are in the Boone MOA
(military operations area.)  You may be able to hear their F-16's checking
in with "Minnie" on 343.8 Mhz.

I don't know any tactical freqs for the above, but you may try a search
between 138 and 144 Mhz in the AM mode.  Look into getting a military air
freq guide.  Grove and CRB Research are two places to look for such a
guide.

Although you may be to far away to here ground comm's for Offutt you may
very well hear their birds in the air.  There is an AR (air refueling)
track that runs from O'Neill Nebraska to Fort Dodge Iowa that is often
used by Offutt's 55th Wing aircarft.  They are of course not the only ones
that use it.  Oh yeah, the frequencies!

      238.9 MHz (AR-105 Primary)
      320.9 Mhz (AR-105 Secondary)

Also, program 311.0 Mhz and 321.0 Mhz into your scanner.  They are the
Offutt command post frequencies.  Listen for callsigns like: SNOOP, COBRA
and LOOK.

If your searching for active frequencies - keep your search ranges to
smaller "segments" - say 50MHz at a time.

220-250MHz, 250-300MHz etc, maybe even less. Spend a day or two
seraching this one band then try another. You will get far more "hits"
than trying to search the complete 225-400MHz in one go - its rather
like going down to your local shopping Mall hoping to meet up with
somebody you think *might* be down there - chance of bumping into them is
slim.

The UHF use 25KHz steps although in the US many frequencies seem to be
100KHz steps. Don't use 5Khz steps if you have a radio that you can
select the step size on.

Happy Listening.

Don't forget to tune the average everyday tower frequencies used by
everyone.  Clearance is still required, so that 747's and such don't get in
our way.

I think you must take into account that most scanner owners are appliance
operators....push a few buttons and you can scan everything between A & B.
However, using a cell phone for this usually means having to first put the
phone in a maintenance mode, then specifically telling it to receive a
specific cell channel.  This requires a string of information and manual labor

that most people (unless they were really hard up for this capability) just
won't put in the effort to do.

Cell phones usually won't scan, just allow you to monitor specific channels.
It might be intellectually stimulating to some, but I am sure it would get
tedious very quickly (more button-presses-per-channel than any known "scanner"

would have!).  You would have to have a lot of spare time on your hands to
want to get into this as a "hobby"!

Steve

Too much of-topic crap here. (He says as he posts an off-topic message.)
I'm quite prepared to E-Mail all off topic peoples with many meg's of
garbage, and as many have complained, and none have heard, this is what
I must be forced to do to help reclaim the group.

I figured you to be at least 10 years old.

So who made you read the off topic posts?  Are you so slow and simple you
can't read a message header and skip it.?  When you log on to a newsgroup
do you read every single message posted?  Have you noticed that I only respond
to messages already posted and don't initiate any new ones?

Ahh, the Usenet Savior!  Hey go ahead and E-mail bomb me. It is a two way
street dipstick, except when I return the favor your ISP will receive copies
of everything you send me. I wonder how they will enjoy your many megs returne
d
twofold? If you don't like it don't read it. You seem to have less brains than

that given by God to dogs and other small simple creatures.

Have you also noticed how quiet it gets until some turd brained moron pops up
and complains and makes threats?  You should considering you seem to be forced

to read everything that comes accross the Usnet.

BTW, did they ever figure out if your VD was from a dog, dingo or farm animal?

        Hi guys, I've been trying to scan more and more video images from news
scenes (mostly fires) into the top of my web page.  I think you will
find some the the pictures interesting.   I've also sone some quick
audio recording and converted it to Real Audio format from one of the
scenes.  Try it out and please let me know what you think.  I've not
taken much time to edit the audio clip but it should give you an idea
of what I'd like to do.


        I have noticed at my end that the real audio first loads into my
computer then begins to play after receiving the hole file first.  Do
you experience the same and if so any advice?

        I'm using a 28.8 modem and the page loads ok for me but I'm not sure
how others see it.  Some input would help.

        Anyways I just wanted to let you know of some of the stuff I've been
working on and add my two cents worth because I cant seem to think of
anything to post here latley.


        I'm gone in a week for a week! I'm going somewhere where it is warm
and sunny and I'm leaving my scanners behind.

  You're right.  We've had some "experts" from battery manufacturers give
talks and they say effect is one of losing capacity when repeatedly
discharged to less than minimum and recharging to full capacity.  NASA was
interested in using the effect if it indeed was "memory" (precisely
reliably repeatable), but it doesn't work that way.  Capacity *is*
lost, however, on repeated partial discharge, just not in a "memorable"
fashion :-).

  Supposedly the latest NiCads are somewhat less susceptible to this
than earlier units.

If that's a Motorola flip phone, then you shouldn't remove the battery, and
short the pin on the phone between the battery terminals to the negative
terminal (the one closest the edge.)
then you shouldn't replace the battery and power up the phone, otherwise
you might get into TEST mode.
 If you did, then you shouldn't press # 08 # to un-mute the audio, then
you shouldn't press 1,1,x,x,x,# (where xxxx is the channel number to
listen to, from 1 to 823) because if you did, then you could listen to
other calls, which would be illegal, so I have told you this so you know
how to steer clear of the law.

I have had my Scout for about 3 months now and take it everywhere. It works
fine in my area. I do get many hits from FM, but also get tons of 800mhz hits
too. I have seen people close to me talking on cell phone and Scout is
recording like mad. Everytime it goes off I find myself looking for someone
using their cell phone.

Just my 2 cents  :>)

For almost any Motorola pager, the cap code is programmed into the pager
and can be changed with service software.  We use a self contained
Motorola programmer for Bravos and a "RIB", connected to a PC for
Advisors and Memo Express units.

So yes they can be changed.  But unless you're into building an interface
that will talk to the pager and can get hold of some software, you're
probably just bettwr off having it changed - but then that would depend
on what you are trying to accomplish.

Does anyone know the status of Philly Pd's trunked radio system
status? What system was chosen and when will be the implementation dates?
(They already use an 800 mhz freq. to simulcast J Band.)

Finally, does anyone know the status of the 3 copters Philly  was
considering purchasing. I's been a while since I heard anything.

Any info on either topic above will be helpful!

Hi,

You can also check the Philips Semiconductor WWW page. They make
a POCSAG decoder IC that has some good info on POCSAG in the data
sheet.

They also make cellular IC's, some good info there too.

The chips to look for is:
PCF5001 POCSAG Decoder

Try:

http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/ps/philipsc.html

The data sheets are in .pdf format and they also have FAXBACK
capability.

10-4 is about the only standard one there is!  Most dept's make

I have acquired a regency mx5000 scanner in what looks like mint
condition, but is has no power cord. It has a triangular 3 prong input
jack on the back. I'm looking for either a 12v cord or wall adapter.

To all you PRO-39 owners having keyboard problems,
I had the same problem last year with my manual button.
I went to Radio Shack and ordered the "keytop" (rubber

keypad) part # KC-0387 at a cost of about $4.00 and installed it and
it took care of the problem. The metallic paste on back of buttons
wears off, rendering you're most commonly used button useless. It's a
fairly easy job.You have to unsolder one wire holding two boards
together, snip off one extra rubber standup on new pad (the one below
the number "0") install new pad, resolder wire, put back together.

Happy Scanning,  [e-mail]

I have this same problem with my Pro-39 scanner.  The problem seems to
be a bad connection between the keys and the board.  Also, I notice
that the problem only occurs with the buttons I use the most.  Please
let me know if you learn of a remedy to this problem.

That's true, but then the overseas models will not be an issue in the
first place.....so far as the cellular hack is concerned.

There ARE exceptions to that.  For the longest time, the "Realistic"
logo appeared on their scanner products.  Then the PRO-43 was among
the first to appear with "RadioShack" instead of "Realistic".  Those
carried an "A" in the serial number.  But that happened BEFORE the
TDDRA of 1994, so a few "A" units were still modifiable for cellular
before the axe fell.  I know.....I did a few....took me by surprise,
too.

So I went by the date code thereafter until Jonathon suggested the FCC
ID (for USA units) might be the most reliable indicator.

Rgds,

Bill

What is "definitive"?  Why are my records "conjecture"?

I keep detailed records of everything I do and two "A" serial numbers
appear in the database of cellular hacks.  <shrug>

No matter....it's your FAQ....and your right to put in it what you

Hey, I'm not looking for an argument.  You wrote
"Then the PRO-43 was among
the first to appear with "RadioShack" instead of "Realistic".  Those
carried an "A" in the serial number."

and I wrote that my "RadioShack" 43 did not have an A in the serial number.
Since these two statements are contradictory and I've got the scanner in
my hands (well, in my desk at the office), I'd prefer to sort it out
before I modify the FAQ.

Would you mind consulting your records and posting the serial numbers of
the units with A serial numbers that were modifiable?  I've no problem
acting on solid information like that.

Thanks.

I'm seriously considering buying a handheld scanner sometime soon.  I'm
looking for the basic bands plus 800MHz and 200 channels.

I was looking at Radio Shack and saw the Pro-51 on sale for $199.  Does
anyone have any experience with this model?  Would it be a pretty good
choice?  How's the reception with the rubber "duckie" antenna?  (I have
an outdoor antenna, but I'll probably take it in the car some.)  I'd
appreciate any comments you may have.

Also, I've discovered a BearCat 220XLT from Tucker Electronics for $249.
It appears to be about the same as far as covereage, etc.  Any experience
with this one?

Thanks for any help you can pass along.  I'm looking to spend about $250 max.


Jim

I've had the PRO-60 since it was released.  I like it very much, it
does a great job for aircraft & military aircraft (being a pilot, thats
what I listen to mostly).  For the standard police & fire stuff it does
a great job too.  I like the audio better out of the PRO-60 then some
of the older R/S scanners.  Two disadvanages are 1) it draws alot of
power, the nicads don't last as long as other handheld scanners.  and
2) No mods for Cell!
One other thing I've noticed about the PRO-60 and maybe someone else
could help us out is that the CPU seems to be slow at times.  I mean
when I hit the manual button a few times to step through a few
frequencies, the display seems to get about 2seconds behind me, then
all of a sudden it catches up.  Doesn't do it all the time, just once
in a while (like twice or 3 times a week for me).  This problem has
never effected the preformance one bit.  Its a great scanner and I do
like mine.

Sorry, I don't have a good recommendation for a scanning speedup
in the PRO-60 but I recommend against changing the CPU clock crystal
as it would have other, undesirable side effects.

You might program the same important freqs into multiple channels
to avoid missing critical transmissions.  For example, I often
program the local sheriff into the first channel of each bank.
Other people have novel ways to organize frequencies in memory
and posted them earlier.

The power saver only functions in manual mode in most scanners
and wouldn't affect scan rate.  I verify power saver functionality
by inserting a (fused) digital milliameter in series with the
batteries and placing the scanner in Manual mode.  After a few
seconds of no activity, the current demand should start to cycle.
My meter also has a bar graph display which I watch
as well as the digits.

I use both analog and digital metered lab power supplies,
which show changes in current demand, too.

Ramsey Electronics has Model SS-70A that does this.  $79.95
assembled or about $55 in kit form.  Their order line is

Just recently I bought the RS discone from my local RS. After I put it on
my roof top off of my chimney I tried scanning celullar.  I got barely
nothing (as compared to with the rubber duckie the duckie was 100 times
better).  I am using RG59 (40ft) and a Pro-51, the antenna is grounded,
the RG59 is good ( no power lines near it either).
    To make another twist to the subject when I scan cellular and unscrew
the PL259 connecter from the So39 to BNC connecter and just leave the pin
of the PL259 connecter in the So39 to BNC connecter cellular is almost as
good as the rubber duck.

If any one has any Ideas as to why I shouldn't recieve better reception
from an RS discone than a tipical rubber duck,  PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

thanx

: Simple.   At these frequencies, the signal gets completely eaten up by
: the coax.  You would probably get better reception with a paper clip than
: with the discone.

That doesn't make sense to me cuz i'm using an old TV antenna on my roof
with about 50 ft of coax and i get a LOT more stations than the
telescoping antenna it came with.

Your problems with your antenna arent the antennas fault,it the coax!Change
that JUNK to RG-6(TV coax)and you will hear lots of 800
mhz stuff.You are losing most of the signal due to loss of the coax.You
should notice an  improvement on 400 megs too.Radio shack has all the
cable\connectors you will need.If you haven't ever put the ends on
before,Buy the "heavy duty"crimper they sell,it's cheap if you use it once

=========================================

Since you are dealing with a handheld unit, there aren't a whole lot of
things that can be done to the radio itself. The constraints placed by
the space available, and battery life really restrict what can be done
with the on-board audio.
There are things that can be done to improve the audio, however.
Personally, I use a few of them, in different situations.
Radio Shack sells an external speaker, with a coiled cord and a clip on
the back. This works well in,as it places the speaker right at your ear.
I also use the "bud" type earphones a lot. I only use one, with the other
one coiled and taped tot he cable; this way I can keep one ear open for
whatever. The fidelity is excellent with thism BTW.
If a little more room is available, there is a new source of amplified
small speakers that looks promising: computer multimedia speakers. These
can be modified to use just one speaker, and many are battery powered for
portability.
If you are using your PRO-60 in a stationary use, then the audio can be
fed to any stereo system, or other amplified speaker system.

Hope this helps a little.

I have 2 Radio Shack Pro-43 Handheld scanners for sale.  They are
already modified for Cellular 800MHz and the low band. They both come
with Ni-Cad's, the chargers and the user manual and boxes. I will
sacrafice for $225.00 each.  They are in excellent condition, the only
reason I am letting these go is because the wife says I have to many
scanners sitting around the house.  If interested e-mail me.

A while back I asked if anyone knew the frequencies for the new Seattle police

800MHz trunking system (which recently crashed).  I did get one response from
a nice person who is starting up a web page about Seattle scanning (check it
out at http://www.wolfenet.com/~daydream) but I didn't get any actual
frequencies.  So I started looking around...

I went to the PerCon Frequency Database Search (at
http://www.perconcorp.com/db_srch.htm) and started looking for anything in
Seattle with a YP service code (YP is trunking police).  Then I took the call
sign that seemed appropriate and looked that up on the same page.  After
weeding out the input frequencies, I came up with a list of 21 freqs.  21
appears like an odd number for a trunking system.  I would have guessed 20 or
25.  Here's what I came up with...
   851.0875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.1375 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.1875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.3625 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.4125 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.8875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.9375 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   851.9875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   852.1625 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   852.6375 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   852.6875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   852.8625 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   852.9125 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   853.3875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   853.4375 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   853.4875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   853.6125 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   854.0875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   854.1875 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   854.2375 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP
   854.3625 WNUB692  SEATTLE, CITY OF          YP

So, here are my questions.  Does anyone know how many channels are in the SPD
system?  Does anyone have a better / more complete list for the SPD system?
What other new trunking system are on line in Seattle?  I have heard that
Seattle Fire is using trunking now. Are they on the same system as SPD? If
not, can I find them by looking for YF service codes in Seattle?  I have also
heard that King County Police will be going trunking also.  Will they be on a
system all by them selves? If not, who will they share with?

Please post any info you may have.

Thanks

I have heard a few calls from Eastside Public Safety (Bellevue,ect) on
853.3875. They are a bit out of range for me.

Yes

I believe there will be some shared frequencies between SPD, Eastside, King

Press "program", press the channel number you want to designate as your

To select which channel you want as your priority channel:
1)  push "pgm"
2)  enter your channel number
3)  push "pri"

Hello,

Thank you to all those who have made use of my WWW home page. Your
support and encouragement is very much appreciated.

Since its launch, I have made numerous improvements and I would like
to announce that you can now download ms-windows versions of the four
working aids as follows:

Foreign Language Recognition: language.zip (about 55kb)
International Bandplan: bandplan.zip (about 54kb)
Modulation: modulate.zip (about 78kb)
Propagation: prop.zip (about 65kb)

Each file is zipped to minimise downloading time and can be
expanded to a ms-windows help file.  All files are compatible with
Windows 3.x and Windows 95.

The URL is http://www.ibmpcug.co.uk/~g4sgi/

Comming soon - a demo version of AOR PC-MANAGER for Windows!

Please send me your comments.  Enjoy.

Simon

  I have a friend that uses a baby monitor transmitter to monitor his
substantial radio setup from across the street (at his business).
He uses a scanner at the business to monitor the baby monitor
transmitter.  It's not as good has having the whole radio setup in
the office, but it's not bad :-).
  I work about 9 miles from my house and my office is in an RF
wasteland, so it won't work for me... maybe a dedicated phoneline :-).

I would like some reccommendations on a "Speech Inversion" decoder. I
understand that a variable freq type is best.

The Edmonton Police Service ( Alberta Canada ) recently installed what  I
believe is an EDACS system. ( There are 4 beeps after each transmission ).
I was wondering if anyone has any advice on scanning such a system, and
in particular how to remove the 4 beeps. I recall seeing a product that will
do this and would be interested in hearing if anyone knows about this.

Thanks in advance

        There is nothing particularly new or different about SAP.  It is
known as SCA in the FM broadcast world and that stands for Subsidiary
Carrier Authorization.  In FM broadcasting, SCA is used for background
music broadcasting to area businesses who pay a service such as Muzak for the
privilege of boring their clientele with this stuff while they shop.

        SCA also has been used to provide a method for reading newspapers to
the blind and also to send digital information to customers such as those
who subscribe to stock market quotes, etc.

        SAP capability was part of the stereophonic television standard which
was adopted in the United States in the early 1980's.  The standard calls
for a couple of audio channels, one for studio use such as for quin queuing
and the other for SAP.

        The SAP channel is just a low-frequency carrier which is transmitted
along with the audio.  If you had the ears of a bat, you might hear it as a
varying high-pitched whistle at the very top end of the sound, but the
deemphasis network in your TV and the fact that the SAP carrier frequency
is about 175khz mean that you will hear absolutely nothing different on a
normal television audio channel.

        You won't hear the SAP channel with a scanner even if it is tuned to
the sound carrier of the channel in question because the SAP channel appears
as a carrier a little above and a little below the main carrier.  When the
main carrier fluctuates with base-band audio, the SAP channel moves right
along with it.  You can sometimes faintly hear the SAP audio this way when
the main carrier is still such as during silent periods, but you loose the SAP
as soon as the main carrier starts talking or playing music again.

        In order to correctly receive SAP or SCA, you must have some sort of
narrow-band FM detector such as a PLL or other discriminator network which
is tuned to the actual frequency of the subcarrier you want to receive.
This detector is actually connected to the raw, (undeemphasized), audio from
the main channel's discriminator just like the stereo decoder is already.
Many times, in fact, when somebody wants to modify an FM tuner for SCA
reception, they find the place in the circuit where the stereo detector is
connected and tie their SCA decoder in there also.

        Subcarrier detectors are sort of like a receiver within a receiver
in that you must first decode the main channel audio in order to properly
receive the subcarriers.

        The SAP channel on television is considered open, as far as I know,
but the SCA transmissions on the FM broadcast band are protected by ink and
paper and are considered as closed-circuit systems so be careful what you do
with whatever you receive via FM broadcast SCA signals.  I hope this answers
a few questions.

Hi all..

For a while now I have been using the Pocsag decoder with great
success. I am trying to set up a list of frequencies used abroad, so
when I travel to another country, I know the frequency to tune in to
and receive messages using the PD program.

So if you are outside of the Netherlands, and you are using the Pocsag
Decoder, please Email me the frequency, bit rate being used and

I was programming my BC855XLT (with the memory mod and the "other" one)
recently when it went slightly beserk.  I had programmed all 100
channels, then decided to change the last 20.  I typed in the first one,
and it was entered into all 100 channels.  I re-entered them and have had
no problems with that since.

However, ever since this, the search function is malfunctioning.  It now
searches in reverse order.  I know some scanners have selectable scan
direction, but this one doesn't.  Also, the "Hold" and "Limit" buttons,
which normally serve to step the search freq up and down one step, now
only step it down.  They serve the same functions in Manual mode, but
function normally there.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why?  I was programming at the
computer at the time; could RF possibly have zapped something?

        Here is the Basic program I wrote for my BC101 which is still ticking
after 19 years.  I wrote this program for an Apple II, originally, but this
is the IBM Basic version.  Just take the listing and feed it in to your
version of Basica or whatever and enjoy.

        The last switch is always shown as 0 or down.  It is the channel delay
and can be set however you like.  If you want, you can tinker with the
frequency limits in the program, but I have never been able to get the
scanner to work at all above or below the documented ranges.

What are DTMF decoders supposed to do and what can they do if hooked to a

When people dial their cordless phones, one with a decoder can see what
number they're calling (and get account numbers, etc too.)

DTMF codes are the fone #s. such as 3 is two tones put together to make
the 3 tone. i supposed the decoder would hear the tone and tell u it's a
3, etc. (Dual Tone Multifrequency i believe)

DTMF stands for Duel Tone  something something.

DTMF is also known as touch tones.  It is the tones that your hear on
your home phone when you press the buttons.

A DTMF decoder is a circuit the monitors the tones and displays them
telling you what was heard.

IF you wanted to use them to figure out what was being dialed over a
phone patch then you could connect this decoder to a reveiver and have
it display access codes, phone numbers, credit card numbers etc.
whatever some one is entering using these touch tones.

DTMP decoders (some) can even be used to control things. I in the past
build a controller that would listen to a series of tones and when it
heard the correct ones that I would transmit via a two way radio, it
would turn on a light or alarm or pick up my home phone and connect
the radio to the phone so that I could make a phone call, etc.

Other tones you may have heard about are PL Tones aka private line
tones.  These tones are sub audible and are used in places where many
users use the same channel. Companies do not want to hear everyone
else on the same channel so each company has their own tone and
monitors the channel for the specific tone.  Only when the specific
tone is heard will it then let their radios monitor the
communications.


Hope this helps...

The operative phrase to pay attention to in this thread is as follows:

>telling you what was heard.

>phone patch then you could connect this decoder to a reveiver and have

If you have one of these decoders you can detect a variety (but not all)
of tone codes transmitted over cell phone, cordless phones, ham radios,
etc.

Likewise, the next time you use your cell/cordless phone to purchase
something by CREDIT CARD, remember, someone may be listening.  When using
your cell/cordless, NEVER give out credit card numbers, your social
security number (heck, never give that out anyway!), or other information
that can be used by a less than honest person.  That includes things like
letting your neighbors or the paperboy know that you'll be out of town for
the next two weeks.  Stuff like that going into the wrong ears will really
mess up your vacation when you get back.  This stuff goes on a lot, and
not just in the big cities. When in doubt, use a phone on a wire.

A DTMF decoder may, indeed, be used for illegal purposes. For example,
let's assume for a moment that you have a modified scanner which will
pick up cellular telephone transmissions. Now let's say that while
listening to your scanner one day you hear a person key in a calling
card number to make a long distance cellular call. Well.. a DTMF
decoder would decode the series of beeps you heard when the person
key'd in the calling card, into actual numbers. Hence, the actual
calling card number is revealed, and the eaves-dropper would then be
free to place LD calls using the person's calling card. Nifty.. eh? I
think so. heh.... that however is just one implication. I suppose it
could be used for something legal, but the general concensus for DTMF
decoders in conjunction with scanners is that it will be used for
something on the seedy side :) .. hope this helps.

The whole world will tell you that it is your coax.  For 800-900 MHz,
RG59 will be lossy.  So there is a good chance that is the part of your
problem, but you never know.

You said the coax is good.  How did you check it?  You said you grounded
your antenna.  How did you ground it?  Your sure you didn't short it to
ground?

My big question is about your selection of coax and a suggestion I saw in
another reply.  Why are you using 75 ohm cable?  The only scanner I have
ever owned has a 50 ohm antenna connection - I assume that most do.  If
your system is supposed to use 50 ohm feed line you should never have
even considered RG-59.  (RG-58 is 50/52 ohm cable)  Another person
suggested that you use RG-6, why?  (RG-6 is 75 ohm coax - RG-8 is 50/52
ohm)  The longer the run, the more loss you will suffer with mismatched
feed line - more than than what you would expect from the distance alone.
 So 40 feet on light coax is probably not a good idea for UHF...but the
impedance mismatch is probably compounding your problem.

Now if the PRO-51 and your discone are 75 ohm systems (Since I don't use
either, I don't know) you are on the right track with 75 ohm cable.

Have fun.

I am interested in a GOOD scanner management program for a scanner.  I have
seen a number of programs offered on the Internet but, for the most part, they

are written for DOS or Mac.  What I require is a Win95 application that is tru
e
32 bit and supports multi-tasking and threading.  The program must maintain a
memory bank and variable searches with decoding options.

If you are aware of any program that may fir this requirement I would be very
happy to hear from you.

I have a RS discone and I need some advice on where to
connect the ground.  Should I connect it to the antenna
itself or should I connect it to the shielding on the outside
at the PL-259 plug.

[e-mail]          thanks

Vince,

Since I have seen this post three times I just can't ignore it even though I
wanted to.  My first response was "Oh brother!" but now...

#1 What is your point?  All these {hi}s just confuse the issue.  I'm having
trouble telling what is toungue-in-cheek and what is your point.  I just can't
believe a person would stretch the argument for pro-code to this extreme point
of being ludicrous.

#2 If this really is what you feel, are you a member of one of those lunatic
militia groups hiding up in Montana that we here about on the evening news?

1. Digital Signal Processing at the IF stage would be nice with
selectable levels of processing...
2. Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency And CTCSS (PL) Tone decoding without
the need for external hardware....
3. Multiple Antenna jacks for a specialized antenna on a specific
band....
4. If it can be expensive, identify types of data when they are
intercepted.. RTTY, POCSAG AMTOR PACTOR PACKET ECT...
5. incorporation of a short-wave reciver so there is no need to
buy yet another radio!! SSB/CW/RTTY
6. NOW THE ULTIMATE 160 meters through 10GHz coverage NO GAPS!
(EXCEPT CELLULAR, IT IS THE LAW, just use the phones themselves
for that!)

PERFECT!

I have a BC80XLT w/ the UC1651 chip inside, am I correct in thinking
this cannot be modified for cell coverage?  (and same with an SC150,
120XLT, 172XLT and 178XLT?)  If anyone knows of mods for these models,
post away as I haven't found any on the net so I'm assuming these
newer models are basically junk.

  Has anyone found this station on the air west of the Appalachians?
I did hear a wavering change in the noise level one night a couple of
weeks ago from here in Des Moines, but it was not identifiable.
If they are on the air at all at night, and the noise level is not out of
control, it should be an interesting listen. Wonder if they're open
for QSL's.

 I take exception to this notion of yours that *instant* information be made
available to any clueless moron who pops up on the Internet without a bit of
preperation! If they cant at least show SOME initiative by looking up the
simple stuff..there is no way in HELL they`re going to be able to cope with
the next 10 years, let alone a meaningful learning experience via Amateur
Radio!

 That the children in this country (USA) are unable to read is a given for
some 45-50% of the population. That the ones who wander into the Internet
whining and sniveling about wanting to "Know NOW!", and "Havent go the time
to deal with the Library!"...is only more evidence that we have a serious
problem. Part of that problem is people who refuse to stand fast by the
traditional methods of learning. "LOOKING IT UP" has been one of those.
Every time someone here bails one of these lazy little morons out, it's
just another nail in that little jerk's intellectual-coffin! Go ahead -
*give* him the answer! Then he wont look it up...wont understand WHY the
answer has any significance!

 The people who write me know that I wont tolerate lamers...because I think
these kids deserve better treatment...they deserve to be given the LESSON
rather than just the ANSWER. You apparently dont agree, you do them a great
injustice - and you do not distinguish yourself as a teacher!

  I and another club member have Yupis... another couple of club members
have AOR-8000s.  We keep talking about having a scanner "competition",
but we've never done it.
  I really like the Yupi (I also have a PRO-43, 2004 & 2006 and have
owned Bearcats and Regencys in the past).  It's performance is on a
par with the RS PRO line... in general use here in a medium sized
city (Raleigh, NC), near a moderately active airport (RDU- Raleigh/
Durham International), near several colleges, etc. it does a fine
job.
  I wish I could at least "up-load" freqs to the Yupi, but it's
not a major problem.
  However, the AOR owners all seem happy with their radios as well.
I've seen them in operation and "played" with them a bit.  If the
Yupi is a better receiver, it is not so great a difference as to be
immediately noticable when you don't have them "side by side".
   I use the Yupi quite a bit for shortwave listening.  It does a
good job (but it's no SONY 2010), but it's AM filter is too
wide.  The AOR's filter is also wide, but there is reputed to be
a fix coming real soon now.
   Which one is built better?  I, um, have dropped my Yupi a few
times (everyone forget that if I decide to sell it)...  Hey! I'm
a radio nerd, not a well coordinated athlete!  It's still doing fine,
and even looks great.  I don't know about the AOR-8000... my friends
haven't let me drop theirs :-)  (it seems that there are limits to
friendship).

  Sorry I don't have a definitive answer.  I like my Yupiteru, but
I suspect I would be happy with an AOR-8000 also.  They're both
very good radios.

  We have a club member who has had one for several years and is VERY
happy with it.  He previously had a "log periodic" scanning beam from,
um, a vendor here in our state (N.C.), and it fell apart the first
winter.  (And we have relatively moderate winters... occasionally
some ice, moderate winds, a little snow.)  He was not at all satisfied
with its quality.  The Create has handled the sleet, ice, snow and
wind with no problem.

  Especially if you'll find an area that is just getting access to
cable TV service (perhaps less rare in our close-by rural areas than
in some other areas of the country).  I have gotten a several old
TV antennas for FREE!  (In one case rescuing it from an ignominous
end at the dump.)

>TV antennas are a hybrid mix of yagi and log periodic designs with
>very high gain in the bands of design, notably:

   From what I've seen, most of the older ones are yagi based (and
therefore not so broad banded) and a good number of the newer ones
are substantially based on the log periodic design.

   I've found the "corner reflector" UHF only antennas do a good
job for 800 MHz trunked services.  (Public service trunked services
only!  I wouldn't know how they would operate on the trunked service
as the top of the 800 MHz band. No siree... not me.)

  I would recommend talking with your parents/aunts/uncles/friends who
may have had cable service for a while.  A lot of pack-rats (and I
definitely am one) may have stored the old TV antenna in the "barn"
(or other storage location) and may now be ready for you to give it
a good home (for free).
  Obviously, if you can get one for free, it's definitely worth a
try.  But if you decide you'd like to drop the coins for the Create,
be assured it *IS* a well built antenna... as it should be for
the price.
   You *can* use the Create to transmit on 2 meters, 220 MHz and 440 MHz,
but again, if you can get a TV antenna for free, a used beam for
one or more of these bands will be cheaper and give better performance
than the Create.

Remember, when you use 900 MHZ stuff - You must accept interference from
any HAM-TV station operating at high power in the 900 MHZ ham band.
If you are using 900 MHZ video "rabbits", the ATVer down the block will
be able to watch you too!

Someone had posted a question wanting to know about the Florida
scanner law. The attached text file is the 1995 Florida State Statute
Chapter 843, Section 16 that explains although not clearly who and
where you can have a scanner. As I read it, you CAN NOT install a
scanner in your vehicle UNLESS your are an emergency vehicle, a crime
watch vehicle, are a FCC licensed Ham Radio Operator, or an alarm co.
employee..

Hopes this helps...

Does anyone know a source for print or electronic back issues of

Hi,

Which program is it? I want it if it's not PD-102 or PD-200.

Greg,

The store is located in either Belmont or San Carlos, which are about 25
miles south of San Francisco on the Peninsula.

The telephone number is [phone] and I believe the owner's name is
Glen...

Good luck

Rob

Jim, forget all of the junk Radar Detectors that you are talking about and
look at the Cinncinati Microvave units.  They may be a little more
expensive but there is an old saying that says "you get what you pay for".
I have found their products to be excellent having messed around with
"Whistler" and most of the others around.  Take this for what its worth
and from past experience.

Another idea... Radio Shack sells self study guides for Ham Radio....

Greetings Bill,

Question for you.  I've seen ads in the last couple of issues of
Popular Communications where Cellular Security Group offers 800MHZ
mods for some late model scanners.  Ones that are not suppose to be
easily modifiable, like the BC-3000XLT and 9000XLT scanners.  Do you
have any info on how they're accomplishing this?  I tend to believe
that it's a cpu or entire board swap with a European version, but I
don't know, do you?

If it's something more complicated than a diode cut, resistor cut ect
I would think it would cost more than the typical $40.00 they charge
for the feat.  What do you think?

Cliff

I have an AR8000.  It's a really good radio if you get a decent antenna for it

Yes, I agree, when you consider the carrot antenna that comes with it.  Grove
sells better scanner antennas.  I got a Diamond RH77CA 8-bander and it works
great.  Although I will say, so far the best antenna I have for the low VHF ba
nd
is the Radio Shack telescoping antenna with the load in the center of the
antenna.  Works the best of the antennas I have for that band.  Not too expens
ive
either, but not too good on UHF and above.

I have not experienced it, but the Dec/Jan issue of US Scanner News has a good

article about that.  They recommend getting replacing the ceramic CPU clock
resonator with a crystal one.  Best bet is to get the article from US Scanner
(the mag $2.50 per issue).  503-203-8620.

The issue also has an interesting article on the AR8000 band plan.

I do not believe that such a tape is available. Even if it were I would
not recomend its use. I try to stay away from anything longer than a 90
minute tape. Longer tapes tend to be manufactured from thinner tape
stock, and tend to provide less quality, and many more problems (they
tear easily, they don't hold up to much rew/ff use as the tension
provides too much stress, etc..)

Good luck,

For once, I actually THOUGHT about someone's comments for quite a while
before responding.  It's been my impression for some years now that Gary's
postings are well thought-out, intelligent, and almost always make valid
points.  Indeed, there are many valid points in his most recent posting,
referenced in part above. I'm especially in agreement with his inference
about the automated stations on HF being a prime example of excellence,
insofar as their unfailing ability to exhibit patience and accuracy.

But I don't believe Gary has a good overall picture of the AMOUNT of
public service that radio amateurs continue to crank out on a daily basis.
 And that belief of mine is based on two things:

1.  The fairly large number of people I continue to come in contact with
(bumped into one just yesterday) whose total and complete amateur radio
lives (the term "get a life" may well apply here!) revolve around the
quantity and quality of service to the public that they can perform by way
of their Amateur Radio Service  transmissions.

2.  My ongoing understanding that there continues to be remarkably large
numbers of people who are in fact well served by the 24 hour a day
automated PACSATs and HF digital BBSs/MBOs that spew forth accurate and
reasonably prompt amounts of third party traffic.  These are very often
people on board U.S. Naval vessels around the world -- who are not allowed
access to naval communications circuits for the type of stuff WE normally
handle -- people on commercial vessels and people on training vessels.

There are most certainly  many many other situations that involve the
handling of messages for the public as a SERVICE to that public, and which
thus qualifies for the topic at hand.  I know of SYSOPS who bellyache
constantly that their systems are "clogged up" by such "trash", which
usually makes me wonder what they think would be of greater value...

In any event, I don't believe that relegating public service
communications to the category of "a thing of the past" is fair or
accurate.  Oh, it's more fair and more accurate than even a few years ago,
and most CERTAINLY more fair and more accurate than 10 to 20 years ago.
And those of you that know me know precisely who I blame for THAT
travesty.

I've learned over the years of scanning that the best radio isn't any
good without a decent antennae.  I've used a telescoping antennae on my
Pro 39 and the difference between it and a rubber ducky were remarkable
especially for cordless telephones.  I recommend a good base antennae for
best reception.

I just bought this book it's good BUT>>>
They did not put in BUFF freq for Boston, NY or other areas. Some have it
others don't.
Also, in the NYPD deployment they said something replaces something else.
that's like telling someone a 1080 replaces a code 17. What is a code 17
or a 1080.
Overall, it's pretty informative.

They probably mean the AM/FM public RADIO frequencies.  FM as we usually
mean it uses VHF, although the only frequencies used to broadcast are
between 87.5 MHz and 108.0 MHz.  Most scanners (at least my Uniden
BC220xlt) don't receive this part of the spectrum.  They jump from the 6
meter Ham band (50.0 - 54.0 MHz) to the aircraft band (108.0 - 137.0 MHz).
So you probably have a VHF receiver without the "standard AM/FM"
frequencies.  Can anyone confirm this?

I'm sure this question's been asked before...I'm also sure I already know
the answer, but I'm going to give it a shot. :)

Being CAP/MARS Communicator licensed (which I am), is there a way to
modify the HTX-202 for out of 2-meter band operation?  It seems like
there's this pattern that you can only modify radios to transmit on
frequencies they receive, and since the HTX-202 won't receive anywhere
outside the 2-meter band, it won't work, but hey...

Yeah, what is it with being asked for your phone number anyway? I can
go into the same store everyday and they would still ask for my phone
number. No other store sees a need for my phone number just because I
am buying something. Whenever they ask me for my number or address I
just tell them that I am already on the mailing list. That seems to
satisfy them.

>         --- Judy May           [e-mail] Judy,  Sounds a
s though you have a bum BC9000.  I have basiclly the
identical setup here in Baltimore.  I live about 15-20 miles outside of
the city and my BC9 is connected to a Radio Shack discone antenna up in
my attic.  Maybe I'am lucky or something but mine is flawless it's the
best scanner I have ever owned.  Something to try, if you know anyone
else with another scanner connect their's to your antenna and see how it
does.  If this scanner has the same problems then it's most likly the
feed line.  If not then it's the scanner.  I have never heard of the
excuse about the receiver becomming unsensitive due to signal input.
Just wondering if the person who told you this also sold you the radio.
Good Luck, Good Listening.  Eric Huber.

stores becomming less and less helpful over the years.  When I go into
one I know up front that I had better know what I am looking for because
the sales people are no help @ all.  Most don't know a 4ohm input from an
8ohm.  Time used to be when you could get good reliable info from them
but not anymore.  I think when the cb craze died out so did the guys who
had any interest in the radio-hobby.  I think we need to remember one
thing.  Radio Shack is a retail store and as such they frequently hire
anyone who can pass the drug test.  Knowledge costs money and money
eroades profits so bear that in mind when complaining.  Besides if it
wasn't for RS stores where would you go to purchase antennas, connectors
and the like ??????.  Eric Huber.

For an RVer that is interested in precise time, He might look into GPS.
Not will he get time that is about 1,000,000 times more accurate than the
GC-1000 the antenna is much smaller.  The main benefit will be knowing
his location to within better than 100 meters as well as his elevation.

Have Fun,
Brooke

Ever since ICOM decided to delete the 800 - 900 MHZ coverage from its IC-R7100

receiver,
older R7100's demand premium prices on the used market. ICOM insisted that the

R7100 was
now made in two versions, one for the general public and another (with 800-900

coverage) for
government and law enforcement agencies. The extended coverage version also se
lls
for $200-$300 more! Per discussions with ICOM there were very clear that this
was
done to comply with
legal requirements that prohibit new scanners from be capable of receiving
cellular telephone
transmissions. My opposition has always been why we should be penalized if we
want
to listen to
local law enforcement agencies within the 800 MHz band. Personally, I have no
interest in
listening to cell phones when a receiver as competent as the R7100 opens up al
most
2 ghz of
spectrum.

I recently noticed that Grove now offers the R7100 with "restored" coverage so
 I
set out to find
out how it was done. Performing the following procedure will allow you to list
en
to local law
enforcement with the 800-900 mHz portion of the spectrum. Remove the screws th
at
hold the top
cover and disconnect the speaker. Next, remove the two flat head screws that h
old
the metal
shield covering the rear of the front panel.. On the rear apron, remove the tw
o
screws that hold
the upper chassis to the lower chassis. Finally, remove the antenna cable that
 is
connected to the
circuit board assembly in the rear right corner of the R7100. Referring to the

owners manual,
CAREFULLY separate the upper half of the receiver, inverting it, setting it be
side
the radio as
illustrated in the owners manual. Be careful not to pull on the cables that
connect the upper
portion to the lower half of the radio. In the front of the owners manual ther
e is
a small paragraph
that explains the various jumper options for the R7100's CI-V interface option
s.
It's on this board
that the modification is done. The board is located behind the "M-SET" switch.
 The
jumpers are
actually circular pads, split vertically. A drop of solder constitutes a jumpe
r -
no solder = no
jumper.

Locate jumper "A6" as illustrated in the owners manual. Above "A6" you'll see
a
small ball of
solder. Using solder wick, CAREFULLY remove the solder, exposing the split
circular pad
beneath. The space between the pads is very small so be sure to remove all the

solder. Reassemble
the radio and you're done!

with the printing that does not rub off.

Radio, box, manual, charger, batteries, optional leatherett case.
All this for $500.00 Yankee dollars.

Would prefer to sell locally (S F bay area) but will ship UPS any place.

During installation of a OS456  into a new Mod.20-145 Pro-2006  I ran
into a problem in step 10.3 of Optoelectronics install guide:

The analog wire is to be attached to  pin 12 of IC4.  The OS guide
says this chip is a 14 pin  10420  (marked E49 in the photo) --- but
the IC4 chip in my Pro-2006 is a 10420 marked E85 KR with 16 pins!  I
would appreciate suggestions on which pin to attach to from anyone who
has done a recent installation.

Thanks in advance.

   You're obviously using one of the newer Radio Shack discones that has
the 824-849/869-894 cellular spectrum deleted from it, while your
rubber-duck antenna is an older model that came out before the ban on
eavesdropping on CMTs!

Phoenix Sky Harbor tower did a super job coordinating all the blimp,
helicopter, and banner aircraft traffic over Sun Devil Stadium. This was
in addition to their normal Approach and Departure traffic. Sun Devil
Stadium lies about 3 miles due east of the airport's runways (8/26 L/R)

many pilots were heard complementing the controllers for their excellent job.
I wasn't able to make it to the game. I did however keep up on the action
by listening to the radio, television, and my scanner radios!

I am from Europe (Belgium), and there seems to be a possibility to
crack the GSM signal. Some rumors are "in the air" that there are CD's
available from the UK, containing the necessary software to listen to
any channel in use you can intercept. Do not have a/THE proof, but I
am always very prudent in these things. Also : Belgian Telecom c░ said
to offer its cooperation in tracking down GSM conversations between
suspected dealers. Newspapers reported that the accuracy in locating a
conversation is approx. 300 m(eter). Well, some guy from the company
itself said it is possible to track down someone up to 10 meter (=
approx. 30 feet / you know : mathematics and triangles).

I don't expect advice, however it would be nice for the "sales person
to understand what I was talking about. Example, when I asked for the
1996 edition of Police Call.

I did this recently in the store on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, VA
and the response I got was "Huh? The WHAT?".  Very Intelligent. I then
had to show the "sales person" what it was in the catalog.

Advice, no.  Simple knowledge of the items that you sell, YES?

Dear Sir,
     As an Alien Bounty Hunter, information of this type and magnitude
is invaluable to me!
     I would just like to add a note to your post here:  I have found
that when utilizing alien scanner frequencies, reception is often
enhanced when the individual monitoring the frequency wraps aluminum
foil around his/her head leaving approximately 8 inches vertically
standing and rising from the frontal cortex area.  Positioning him or
herself directly in front of, and facing, the scanner, the monitoring
individual should then squat, squeeze the eyes closed tightly, and
place closed fists on each side of the face.
     May I ask...would you happen to have any good frequencies where
MJ-12 conspirators can be monitored at?

Regards,
ZVEEB

I am not having much luck with this either . I have the rotating "/"
on the top right`ish of the screen turning at more or less a ratio to
the freq of the input signal but nothing comes up on screen. My scope
shows a square wave of approx the same freq of the audio input going
into the CTS  pin. But other than that it`s totally dead.

Maybe I am not tuning into a POCSAG signal are most/all pagers using
this format ?? Is it a standard format ? Anyone know the freq of a
confirmed POCSAG broadcast in the W.Sussex area ?.

Any help appreciated

Thanks
Justin

For receiving the coax impedance isn't important at all,the range of
impedance will vary more than 25 ohms on almost any antenna anyway when you
have a freq spread of hundreds of MHZ

Using the proper transmission line is just as important on receivers as
it is on transmitters.  It really doesn't matter whether the signal is
going from a transmitter to  an antenna, or from an antenna to a
reciever.  The signal gets from one end of the cable to other in the same
manner (transverse electromagnetic mode) - the only difference is the
signal power.

Using the wrong feed line will cause just as much loss of received signal
as it will loss of a transmitted signal at the same frequency.

And when you are dealing with your local Radio Shack (or similar type of
store) you should have no trouble finding 50 ohm feed line (RG8 or
something else).  It should be readily available.

What I meant was that modifying a CB is illegal if you plan on using it on
the cb band. If you use it for 10m or something in the ham bands then it is no
t
illegal. What the guy was saying at first that modifying all radios is illegal
. It
is not illegal to modify a scanner either but using it to listen to unauthoriz

bands, ie cellular, is illegal.

they have that choice, but they shouldnt go around touting themselves as God's
gift to the uninformed with slogans like "you have questions, we have answers.
"
the only answer they seem capable of handling is what time they close.

unfortunately for radio shack, they cant even entertain a slogan like "we have
stuff cheap, you want it - come get it." in fact, aside from the radio equipme
nt
(i think?), *everything* else is ludicrously overpriced.  i cringe every time
i see some computer illiterate butthead considering the purchase of a tandy
computer for $2500 or a "realistic" stereo component.

Illegal??  Maby getting codes for somebody's voice mail or answering service.
Getting Credit Card numbers when using it for Tele-Bank or something.

Don't buy any of that junk,  most is over priced . Software and or hardware
for your computer is the best way to go for deciphering DTMF.  And hay for the

same price these SCAM Spy Shops charge,  you can buy devices that will also
decode ACARS(aircraft communications addressing), GOLAY,POCSAG(digital
pager modes),CTCSS and DCS(digital coded squelch).  I on the side I run a Spy
Shop and know how many 'Spy Shops" are selling DTMF decoders for over $100.

SCAM SCAM SCAM.     These Spy Shops are getting so bad I am going to change
my companys name.  I want to make money but not STEAL from the customer.

I purchased my BC3000XLT from Scanners Unlimited. Their prices are more
expensive than mail order, but they gave me a great trade-in for my PRO-2021
and Glenn was very helpful and provided great frequency lists of the Bay
area. I didn't mind paying a little more for great service and being able
to see and try out the unit before buying.

        An audio recorder that runs for 10 hours could be quite useful.
        How does this tape recorder work?  What kind of tape does it use?
and, of course, How much does it cost?  I have often thought that a VCR
equipped with either highfi sound or one of those digital recording adapters
which were sold a few years ago would make an excellent system for archiving
logging recordings.  The only real drawback to a VCR is its start-up time
if one wanted to use it with a VOX or COR.  The sound quality of such a system
would be almost like being there all over again.

I've had my Pro-60 for several months now and am also satisfied
with it.  Batteries do go slightly faster than I used to also.  I
dislike the long unflexible attenna.  Since I mostly listen to
UHF, I purchased a stubby attenna.  I also purchased the case.
It's a thin-leather like material, that doesn't cover the lcd
window.  They could have done a better design job on that.

Hello?  Did I just hear that correctly?

Why? Because I might be your average Joe with between $100 and $500 to blow
on a somewhat complex piece of gear (like a RS scanner) that comes in
all different models and I have no idea where to start.  Yes, I think
I'd like a little advice so I can make an informed decision before handing you

my dough.  Isn't part of SELLING any product involve giving advice to the
customer?  Although it's perhaps biased towards the product you are selling,
it's advice nonetheless.

There is a guy at my local Radio Shack (Matt) who is excellent.
He is being promoted to Asst. Mgr., and good for him.  He is a couple standard

deviations above your average electronics store sales guy's knowledge of the
products his store sells.  And he's FULL of advice.  Perhaps that's why he's
getting promoted into management while others find themselves as former
managers.

> These places are set up to be self service and value (price) oriented.

Yes, but their advice is still available, and free, and generally given if it
helps the customer buy what they really need.  Half the people waltzing into a

hardware store need advice, and by gum they will get it - that's part of runni
ng
a hardware store.

> Americans expect to pay least possible yet get the same service that
> they received at department stores.

Hmm. My experience is that department store sales folks know less about what
they sell vs. a TV store or computer store or camera store, etc.

> Advice is valuable.  It costs time and money.

Bah.  That's part of the cost of doing business if you are selling something.

>  My lawyer gives advice at $250/hr.

Of course he/she's gonna charge you a lot!  Cuz they are selling ADVICE ONLY -

that's their stock in trade!  It cost THEM time and money investing in an
education to learn how to give you all that great advice.  They are not sellin
g
anything in ADDITION to that advice (unless it's a will, or appearance with yo
u
in court).  That's the difference - they are not selling something else where
their advice only helps sell the product (or helps the customer make an inform
ed
decision).  They sell JUST advice, and have a right to charge plenty for it.

So I don't think Radio Shack hires lawyers to staff their retail stores.

> Hardware stores, radio stores
> and such are either going to be expensive and user friendly.  Or value > ori
ented and like a supermarket.

That's my point - Hardware stores, radio stores, and supermakets DON'T sell
advice as their product, like lawyers and fee-only financial planners do.
Giving advice to help the customer make an informed decision is built into the

cost of doing business at places like retail stores and supermarkets and car
dealers.

The only retail outlet you can buy something and NOT have the right to ask for

advice is standing in front of a vending machine ready to pop in those quarter
s.

BTW, you can even get advice at a supermarket (ask the butcher what's the best

cut of meat for a stew, or ask the baker what's the best buns to buy for
bratwurst).  They expect to be asked for the advice, even though a supermarket

IS indeed set up for self-service.

My $0.02 of non-advice.

Hmmm... If you can buy a new R9000 (since you are in a business that will
allow you to do so), then you can get an un-restricted R-7100.

==================================================

Try this, sometime:
Go to any decently large store, and ask for a specific item. Many times,
you will get an answer that means that they don't know about that item.
Just yesterday, I went into a large computer store here in Phoenix
(CompUSA), and asked where thr ZIP drives were. "The WHAT?" One of the
hottest computer items going, and the salesperson didn't even know what
it was.
Radio Shack has no lock on sales drones, by far.
As for expecting the salesperson to understand what you are talking
about, let me say this. I've *BEEN* a sales person, and believe me, most
customers don't know what they are talking about. Not all, for sure, but
MOST. I'm sorry if this isn't what some of you want to hear, but facts
are facts.
Don't get offended, get educated.
Stand around sometime, and listen to people describe their wants; "I need
that program that prints labels." "Do you have that game that shoots
airplanes?"
 "I need some disks." "What kind?" "The kind that go in my computer!"
"I bought this program here, and it doesn't work. What's wrong with it?"
I've heard these in just one store in less than half an hour.
Try this in an auto repair place, and you'd be amazed at the ignorance
that abounds.
Is this Radio Shack's fault? Of course not.

Something else to consider: many of us here have been into radios of
different sorts for a long time; in some cases, longer than that
salesperson has been out of diapers. Of course s/he doesn't know as much
as those of us in that position! Hell, I know more about washing machines
than the salesmen at Sears do! Not because they are dumb, but because
I've educated myself.
If more of us would educate ourselves on what we want to purchase, we
wouldn't have to rely on some kid trying to pay for school.

Sure, we are all newbies at first. But it's not the newbies complaining
about Radio Shack, is it?

What it amounts to is this: Radio Shack is no worse (or better) than any
other such store.
Maybe we just resent the fact that Radio Shack is an excellent source for
electronic goodies, yet they don't give out free classes.

Troop G of the Conn state police has moved to Bridgeport from Westport.  I
believe their area of
coverage is now most of the I-95 corridor.  Try listening to 42.580 Mhz.
It is my understanding that they are using a simplex system with multiple
recieve/ transmit sites.

Hope this helps.

Well Jim, I've had my BC220XLT since last August, and I must say that I am
extremely happy with it.... It's a very well made scanner and extremely
tough to boot... Not a single problem with it as of yet, and I don't expect
any at all.... I have a much older Bearcat 210 that runs execellent to this
day...And that scanner was made in 1983.... So there you have it.... Of
what I've read about RS, I would be terrified to buy one... But that's my
opinion... Good luck in your quest....

Help seeking a new base/mobile scanner:

Have not been keeping up on what is available, but it is time for me to
upgrade from my bare-bones BC 560XLT.  If all the information is in a FAQ
somewhwere, could someone please point me there?

Am not sure if they are still made/around, but I think I need something
like a BC 760 or 890.  Are these good all-around units or is there
something better from another manufacturer?

What I would like (in no particular order):

* 800 Mhz coverage (primarily for public safety systems)
* 100 - 200 channels (into several banks)
* More than one priority channel/selectable priority channel(s)
* Full LCD display, with frequency display
* Selectable Search and/or one touch searching
* One touch weather
* External speaker jack
* Backlit controls (not necessary, but nice)

Am looking in the $250-325 price range.

Must be easy to switch between base and mobile uses.

I would also be interested in any information that anyone has concerning
slide-out mounts (similar to a pull-out radio or those CB slide off
mounts).  I don╒t expect that this is a standard feature on any radio and
am curious where I might go to for such an accessory.

As always, I appreciate any and all help.  Feel free to post responses
here or to mail me directly.

In the words of the famous Syms clothing store owners...

"Syms.  Where an educated consumer is our best customer."

In other words, and I have found this to be true, DO NOT
go into RS expecting to learn anything.  Buy a copy of
the catalog (you get the money back when you buy some-
thing else), and study it if you're interested in some-
thing listed.

Study it hard, and know the equipment you're interested
in, because most of the folks that work there don't have
a clue about what they're selling.

Remember, RS is a business, and as a retail shop, the
salesperson turnover is VERY high.  People who DO have a
clue should be making $10.00/hour because they DO increase
sales, and can prevent people from going elsewhere out
of frustration.  BUT they don't, of course, as the dif-
ference between $5.00/hr and $10.00/hr equates to $60
in a 12-hour day.  Noooo, this difference could NEVER
be made up by having staff who knew the goods, could it???

You betcha it could.  And the salespeople might be inclined
to stick around, too.  Would you TRAIN someone on the
stock who you KNEW was going to leave in the next 6 mos?

     I am not an irrational person Mr 73...N9NWO but I don't think its
unreasonable to expect a salesman at RS to know some basic information

area where salesman don't know what the difference between a shortwave and
a scanner or a HAM RADIO and a CB is!.
     If Radio Shack's mission is to provide merchandise to hobbyists with
unknowledgable people behind the desk fine.  But I think they are making a
big mistake!  Some slight knowledge on the salesman's part goes a long way
to making a customer feel confident in the product and buy.  If I were you
I'd be a bit concerned as a stockholder right now because there are many
other new radio frachises opening nationwide which realize the benefit of

This is probably a very basic physics/engineering question, but how
exactly is it that a device such as a scanner could conceivable cause
interference on a plane?

I would have thought that any electromagnetic fields generated by either
the speaker or scanning circuitry would be almost infinitessimal in order
to avoid feedback upon itself...no?

The impedence mismatch between 50 ohm and 75 ohm is a small factor. A much
more important factor is the line loss. Using RG-6 or even better RG-11 works
great  with a scanner. Unless you want to go with 9913 or hardline it is
probably the most cost effective.

The impedence mismatch loss OCCURS AT THE POINT OF MISMATCH NOT thru the entir
e
cable. Considering most antennas are not truly a 50 ohm match except at a spec
ific
frequency, using 75 ohm cable is again a minor point of loss.

Quad shielded RG-11 works the best. This cable is commonly used (as is RG-6)
to carry the 950-1300 mhz IF used in TVRO (and DBS) satellite systems  because
it's low loss. The loss at 1000 mhz for 100 feet is ~5.5 db for RG-11 and 7.0
db for RG/6 (common types). Remember there are MANY types of RG-6/8/58/59. The
y
have more or less loss, shielding, is/is not UV proof, and different diameters
and all called by the RG number (which really doesn't tell you much but the
"family" of cable, i.e. RG/6 type, etc.).

I use a RS discone with ~70 ft of RG-11. It works great with both my scanner a
nd
my 2m/220/440 Amateur tranceivers. The SWR is <1.2 across the ham bands. Not m
uch
effect of impedence mismatch there.

Don't worry about impedence mismatch too much (unless you transmit), worry abo
ut
the line loss, connectors and weather proofing. Those factors will affect your
receiving ability much more than a small mismatch. Besides "F" connectors, ada
pters,
etc. are inexpensive and easy to assemble (WATERPROOF !!!).

        A friend of my fathers bought a PRO-62 for his wife to listen to local police
 and fire with.  Neither
he nor his wife had the first idea of how to go about programming it or where
to find the frequencies to plug
in if they did.  I offered to take the radio and program the banks in ever inc
reasing coverage areas (local,
city, county, state etc.) and set it up for them.

         Last night I started and found that when I programmed in two 800 mHz frequen
cies used in a
neighboring community (both repeaters with strong signals) that the scanner wo
uld not stop on those
channels when they became active.  If I go into the manual mode and stop on ei
ther one I hear them fine.
Likewise if I make either of them the priority channel and enable the priority
 function when that channel
becomes active it locks up on it.  From the SCAN mode however it just buzzes o
n by like nothing was
there.  Do I have a bad radio or is there some design flaw with this model?  I
 have heard complaints about
some of the Radio Shack hand held units but have not followed the specifics.
By the way is the PRO-62 a
GRE radio?  Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Sure can. There was an article on this in Popular Electronics, along

oscillator, and dinking with the trimmer capacitor on the antenna
circuit. But note that the aircraft band uses AM, not FM reception, the
front end will not properly track, and reception is pretty mediocre. But
it -is- cheap.

I have seen a few posts regarding a scanner IRC Channel (#scanner). I
have check it several times and have not seen anybody there. Does
anyone use it to talk about scaning or scanning related issues?

Seems to me that RS *is* expensive, but still not user friendly.  I agree
that we don't necessarily *deserve* advice, but that's fine with me
because I don't think I'd *want* advice from most folks at the RS stores.
I've overheard some of the advice given to customers, and it usually
involves buying and additional item or two, whether necessary or not.
But I guess that's what sales is all about, eh?

And they really do need to get off that whole phone-number and address
thing.  Haven't they got the hint that people don't like that crap?

Is it my imagination, or do they seem to sell a lot of stuff that demands
purchase of extra parts?

Case in point, a few of their "Scanner" antennas come with SO-239 (or is
it PL-259?) connectors on them (not to mention having crappy cable for
the advertised band range).  Yet I believe every one of their scanners
has BNC connectors as standard!  Hmmm... looks like I need to buy an
extra part!

What we need is an automatic message generator that would post the
Cordless phone frequencies about every 6 hours or so. That is about how
often someone else asks for the frequencies (without checking previous
posts).

Yes, most likely you can... But, this would not get you the desired
results.  You are talking about going into the VHF air band.  This is
an AM band.  Your FM radion is NOT capable of this, it is WBFM (Wide
Band Frequency Modulation).  This makes it less desirable to use in
any of the "normal" scanner bands.  Most all communications does not
need the frequency range of Wide Band and thuse communication is in
Narrow Band.  While you can recive and maybe - maybe not understand
the traffic, it is 600% better to hear it in the proper mode.

I had two of them and neither one lasted more than a day! DO NOT put
them near any high powered transmitters! I have 200 watt 10 meter amp
in my car and it killed them both! Have a Pro-2026 in the car now and
no problems! Had a Pro-34...No problems. The Pro-60 just couldn't take
it. I suspect I was burning the logic chip in it.

Hi,

I'm going to try to make my own homebrew interface to my CX12AR from my
AR8000 -- I can't stand the flat cable thing.

What I was going to do is solder another wire to the RX transistor (where
there is already one wire for the Scout mod), one to the ground pad, and
another to the TX line.

I am not sure, however, how I should attach these wires to the stereo jack
I just got from Radio Shack.  Should I wire tip to TX or to RX?  I know
it's not much of a problem to swap, but I'm worried enough about doing
this to where I don't want to make multiple trips inside the unit.

Can anyone think of a better way to do this, or of a reason why this is a
bad idea?  I realise that I'll be losing the squelch port, but I don't see
myself using the AR8000 for that sort of scanning anyway -- I'll probably
get a 2042 and the Opto 535 for that purpose.

I would appreciate any last minute advice on this!

Thanks!

Scott

While I agree with your sentiments I dont think email bombs are the
answer. This group was going along great until the arrival of you-know-who
(the guy with John Wayne syndrome). But there is a historical precedent
for this. Everywhere Mr. Cheek goes things end up turning bad. I dont
think he can help it, he's just one of those kind of guys. You know the
type. So full of himself he cant see past his nose. Just feel sorry for
his family and carry on.

I appreciate all of your help and quick responses.  Yesterday I picked up
so RG8 and installed it, but it still didn't work.
  Then I got so pissed I pulled out the ground wire and wripped it off of
the scanner.

Turns out that was the key!!! It works great!!!   Don't know why but it
works great.

(my guess is, is that the ground wire was to thick (almost 1/2 inch braid)
and it affected the reception by grounding it out.)

Thanx agin for all the help!!

I totally agree with the subject "Just buy the one over there, I know it's
not on sale and it cost alot more. It does the same thing but it is still
better.  Oh and can I have your Phone # and last name please"   They push
to try to get suckers and sadly they do!


The other day I called a local RS to find out the price on a PRO-46 and
they said to call back in 10 minutes (of course I happily did).  When I
called back the woman said she's never herd of that type of CB before.
CB!!!!!!!!!!!!   what is she cookoo!! I know its possible that you might
have never seen that model before, but that model was on sale that week
and it has been around for 3 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what RS is coming to!

the only good RS around my area is the one in the Swansea Mall!!!  Heck I
don't even classiffy it as a RS its like a local personal business-who
only employs professionals!!

Has anyone had the chance to compare PD-200 with MESSAGE TRACKER?
Does anyone have a circuit schematic for the MESSAGE TRACKER? I would
like to know if they use the same 741 op amp circuit.

Good day all!
        Well, as we here in Pittsburgh pick ourselves up from the floor,
and attempt to get our little lives back here in order, I thought I'd
pony up one of my favourite little friends for sale.  :)  I bought this
one a couple of years ago--it's had only one modification in life--one
of the diodes, I believe it is, was mysteriously cut away one evening.
However, aside from that, it's exactly the way I got it, and it's loaded
up with several hundred freqs that could be of use almost anywhere.  (Of
course, I'm not presuming that ALL the freqs will work in your area)
        If you live in Pittsburgh, PA and are wondering how to dry the
tears we've shed for our men, and a present like this suits
you--consider the fact that as it sits here in Brighton Heights, I can
monitor all the city of Pgh, all the Greentree, Avalon, Sewickly, Mt
Lebo, ect, ect action without doing anything but buying it and plugging
it in.  I'm asking $225 for it, and I'd rather not ship outside the USA,
I've tried it recently with the Icom I sold, and it's been nothing but a
major nightmare.
        Please, do not post a reply to this group, as I rarely have time
to get into usenet at all.  E-mail reply to:

I have designed a switching scheme that allows the user to select
the stock 12KHz AM filter or the narrow SSB 4.0KHz while still in
the AM mode. I have found this to make a BIG difference when trying
to receive a weak shortwave station next to a very strong one.
The only part required is a switch and some wire.
My mod has no effect on the use of the DS8000 speech inversion accessory.

Send me email if interested.

All radio receivers have a local oscillator in them that is used to mix
with the incoming signal to produce an intermediate frequency, used in
the radio for further filtering and subsequent demodulation or
discrimination to get at the audio portion of the signal.  This local
oscillator by definition is actually a very weak radio transmitter who's
signal can and does radiate from the radio, even back out the antenna.

It is presumed by the airlines that this weak signal might be enough to
cause interference with the aircraft's own radios, avionics, and/or
fly-by-wire control systems.  I don't know what the studies have
concluded, but the airlines feel it's enought of a threat to the safety
of the passengers that things like scanners, AM/FM radios, TV's, and
cellphones are prohibited from being used at least in takeoff, landing,
and taxiing.  Most airlines prohibit scanner usage thru the whole flight.

It's not feedback, but rather the very small (and yes, I would say
infinitessimal) RF field generated by the local oscillator.  Keep in mind
that there are plenty of wires criscrossing all over your average airliner,
above your head, below your feet, etc. that can have an RF field induced
in them from nearby (albeit weak) RF sources.

The digitally encrypted signals are easy to decode since they ripped off
AT&T programmers in the 70's.  It's based on rot13 backwards.  What can I
say the programmers have not been back to Earth since the 70's.

Wow!  They're really paying the "big money" these days!  When I was

The best (worst?) example of Radio Shack Salesdroid incompetence was
displayed to me a couple of years ago.  I was in one of their stores and
overheard a most interesting conversation going on at the counter.  A
construction foreman had come in and was looking for a couple of walkie-
talkies for his crew to use to communicate with each other at a job site.
Of course, Sammy Salesdroid was all smiles and had just thing for him!
Can you guess what it was?  A couple of CB walkie-talkies?  No!  GMRS?
No!  Business Band Motorolas?  No!  Instead, S.S. reached into the
display case and pulled out...an HTX-202.  Yes, that's right, a 2-meter
HAM transceiver!!  He quickly informed the foreman that "two of these
would be perfect for what you want to do."  When Mr. Foreman balked at
the relatively high price of these ($259.99), as compared to the CB
Walkie-Talkies ($79-99), S.S. proudly exclaimed "But they're worth it
'cause you can talk a lot further on these without interference than you
can on CB.  There's also lots more channels to choose from!"  No mention
of license requirements, testing, etc. was ever made to the prospective
customer.

"You've got questions, We've got answers"... WRONG ones that can land you
in prison with a $10,000 "monetary forfeiture" to the FCC for unlicensed
operation on amateur radio frequencies!!

Does anyone know of a chip that is used to demodulate multiplexed
signals such as FM sterio, secondary audio programming (SAP) on TV
sound and SCA on FM broadcast? I thought I could use my HF radio in FM
mode but I tried it and it didn't work. I finally figured out that
although the readout goes down to 0 hz it actually won't receive
anything less than 150 khz (the manual says so and I can hear the
relay click out.)
I'm sure there is a small, easy circuit to do this.

Not for long.  The carriers in different markets share database
information on telephones that are roaming.  It won't take long for your
carrier to spot a clone in another city and possibly suspend your
service.

There is no way under FCC rules to clone a phone for legitimate use on
your account.  Cloning is outright prohibited now.  Some carriers are
offering "extension" service because their networks can support it.
However it is my understanding that your extension phone under these
programs cannot roam - this is due to the way roaming information shared
among all carriers, including those that cannot a phone number with two
ESNs.

Possibly FOS.  I would doubt that a cell phone would work worth a damn
from inside a jet at high altitude.  But if you could get a call to go
through, it could theoretically go via any system that was within "line
of sight" of the plane.  This is also why it is illegal to use a
cellphone on any aircraft while airborne.

Personally I doubt the FCC has kept the code requirement because of pig-

We seem to have way too little influence on what they decide, as far as I
can tell.  Heck, we can't even get them to allow us to have unrestricted
packet-internet gateways, so far.

The following is an exerpt from the Canadian RS Catalog:

"...Radio Shack has many things to be proud of-our 800 retail locations
from coast to coast; our 2000 electronics experts who provide outstanding
product knowledge and customer care in our stores;... Our knowledgeable,
experienced staff can simplify technology, and answer thousands of
questions about how products work. That's why we say, 'You've got
questions. We've got answers.'"

Personally I think they should change the slogan to:"
"You've got questions. Get our catalog"

When I read such a thing in their catalog, I expect them to actually know
about their products. Like I have written before, when I brought a
defective cordless phone back, the manager was surprised to see that he
had a Call Display cordless phone in his store. Then it took him 25
minutes looking in the manual to see how it worked. Meanwhile he's telling
me about all the features of the phone. Duh! I already know about the
features that's why I bought it, just give me a new one!

Don't tell me that Radio Shack is supposed to be self serve when they
boast about their knowledgeable staff. The only thing RS staff know how to
do is change batteries.

True, not all their sales people are knowledgeable and they have had some
doggy products... BUT where else can you buy components e.g. capacitors
resistors diodes transformers relays etc in most small towns?  Thank
goodness RS still devotes shelf space to this stuff which probably isn't
nearly as profitable as phones, video hi-fi etc.  Also, you can get
detailed repair manuals for most products at reasonable prices.  The shack
has its faults but don't overlook its virtues.

Like the title says.

I am new to this sport so bear with me. I bought this new toy about a
month ago and I am finding out (isn't the usenet great) that some
units can be modified to get some extra frequencies (800 band). Is
this one? I checked the oakland FTP site (/pub/hamradio/uniden) but
nothing was mentioned for this model.

Thanks in advance,

Phil...

A CTCSS (continuous Tone Coded Squelch System) decoder is just a device that
alows the squelch to be closed until a defined singnal is transmited (in hz)
along with the signal on the freq you are on eg. 141.3900Mhz and a ctcss tone
1B or 141.195hz/139.185hz Base/Mobile the purpose of it is to reduce unwanted
noise or co-channel interference. If you tune in some ontario hydro requencys
you will hear a strange beeping noice except when someone is talking, on
their radios they use ctcss or tone squelch to block out that noise, when a
call comes through a ctcss tone is transmitted alongside the freq. that opens
up the squelch on the radio letting the message through. So if you don't have
it you can still hear everything but in some cases it can sound a little
noisy when there is no traffic... Hope that answered your question...

[snip]

I am overjoyed with Radio Shack.  There hours are great, and they have
alot of the stuff you need to do radio/electronic hobby work.

Where are you going to get a BNC to type N connector at 6PM even in
the high-tech valley/trianges?
Cable, wire, shrink wrap, soldering stuff, even some reasonable chips these
days.  I couldn't be happier.  my expectations are different.

I try to go ahead and buy the stuff that I don't have to buy there, if I
can get it, because I dread the day when they start shutting down these
electronic 7-11's.

Happy til then,

Mick

I added a mini-stereo jack to my 8000 for just that purpose, and it
works. As for the wiring, just look at the silkscreen logo on the front
of the CX-12. There you will find the TX/RX configuration. Also, I added
another jack for the squelch line, but you don't need it if you use
Scancat Gold to control your scanner.

When complete, take a 3/8 inch stereo cable, crossover the TX and RX
lines, and then you will be able to plug you flat flex cable into someone
elses 8000 and via your built in jack, transfer banks, system data, etc.

If you need long length recording consider using a HiFi VCR in LP or
SP mode.  I work at ESPN and we use consumer VHS machines to record
the ESPN Radio programs as an archive log of the actual broadcasts.
It is cheaper for us to do this than to buy some commercial item.  We
just chuck the machines when they wear out in about a year.  I'm
usually found loitering near the dumpsters.

I've noticed some ar8k owners discussing an i.f. filter mod.  During the discu
ssion,
someone said that the filter mod would not interfere with the speech inversion
accessory.  My question is-where can you find such accessories for the 8k?
I own one, and have found it to be a lot of fun.  I'd like to enhance
"the beast" to cover all the signals I can possibly receive.  Thanks!

I believe that RG-6 is 75 ohm cable.
Why wouldn't you use 50 ohm?  Isn't the output impedance of the radio
and the impedance of the antenna feed point 50?  What benefit is accrued from
RG6?
