I specifically mentioned that it dit not reset the radio.

What it does is sends a Times Square sort of message scrolling around the
display announcing the arrival of the 9000XLT.  Also plays some beeps and
boops.

Hi,

I work in the woods around Idaho and am always camped in the bottom of
some canyon somewhere for weeks at a time without radio reception. I
can usually grab in  the weather service with my Alinco but can't
usually pick up AM/FM to find out what's going on in the world. Does
the antennae make all the difference or can anyone recommend a radio
that's renowned for picking up AM/FM in isolated areas?

thanks, Tim

I'm thinking about buying a new BC860XLT that is one sale, but
I have a couple of questions I hope someone here can answer:

1) Is this radio modifiable?  I haven't been able to find
anything on the net except for its predecessor, the BC855XLT.

2) Is it possible to buy an owner's manual for the radio?  This
one I'm eyeing is cheap in part because it's missing the manual,
antenna, and wall wart.

Thanks,

I saw something to that effect on CNN a day or so ago.  The following
is from the CNN web page, searching for Blue Angels:


-May 29, 1996

-Web posted at: 1 a.m. EDT

-First African-American to head Blue Angels steps down

-WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The first African-American to head the Navy's
-Blue Angels precision flying team stepped down Tuesday, saying his
-flying was not up to the team's high standards, according to a
-statement from the Navy.

-Cmdr. Donnie Cochran, who became commanding officer of the U.S.
-Navy's flight demonstration squadron in 1994, cited personal training
-problems as his reason for leaving the team, the Navy said.

-Cochran flew with the Blue Angels at Friday's graduation services for
-midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. The next three
-scheduled performances of the Blue Angels will have to be canceled
-because of Cochran's departure.

(End of quote)

Also, the same search revealed an article from Oct. '95 where the team
returned to the practice fields around Pensacola because he (CDR
Cochran) had problems flying.

Don't know what will happen beyond the next three.  The Navy sure
isn't having a good PR year, and that's a pity - the Blues have always
been my favorites.

CHP is still on VHF-Low but they do use VHF-High for Mobile Repeaters.

    Most controlled airports have a specific frequency (called ATIS -
Automatic Terminal Information Service) which broadcasts a tape loop with
the current conditions & status, i.e. weather, active runways, hazards, etc.
It is periodicly updated, with each new recording during the day given the
next phonetic designator.
    An approaching pilot will check the ATIS and note the significant data.
When he contacts the controller, he indicates that he's heard the advisory,
specifying it's designator ("... with Juliet ..."). The controller knows he
doesn't have to give that information or, conversely, that anything more
recent than 'information Juliet' should be relayed.

I can't criticize it too much because I haven't seen anything better,

Do not forget the Radio Shack PRO-26. It is full coverage with the

Hmmm....and where do you suppose the press gets the story? Scanners maybe?
Also, can you explain _why_ the 'local rag' would want to distort the story?

Thanks for the comments. By our measurements the typical user operating at
21,600 to 28.8 kbps loads the main page in 20 to 30 seconds; at 14.4 kbps
you'll see about 45 to 60 second loads. A 14.4 modem is our target
user. However, the actual load time varies depending upon server load and
Internet traffic. We rent our server space at AccessOne in Kirkland WA. They
connect to the Internet over two T-1 connection (1.544 mbps each).

Depending on your browser, you may be able to disable the display of graphics
or ensure that your browser caches images so that they do not need to be
downloaded each time. My browser also lets me page up and down and read pages
before the entire page has been loaded. This let's me select things to read
without necessarily waiting for the entire page to load.

We are also in process of setting up the web site on a new ISP that may have
higher performance. We'll post a message when that becomes availble - probably

its a month out at least.

We know that as our hobby web site has grown, the size of the pages has also
grown. We've redesigned the web site twice since starting and its time for
another redesign to accomodate the increased content.

We would like to do a redesign some time but that's easier said then done. We
run this web site solely as a hobby. My real job typically uses up 11 hours a
day of my time; we've got 3 small kids. And other time pressures too. Sometime

we will change the page design again but I would not expect more than perhaps
a
1/3rd reduction in download time.

I had some time tonight. I redesigned the main web page for faster download
times. At 21,600 bps, the main page downloaded in 15-20 seconds. The
newsletters, propagation and start/welcome sections have been simplified and
moved to their own pages accessible off the main page. Everything is still
there - just moved to new locations.

The main page has (at the moment) 3 graphics: the Ham Radio Online title banne
r
(highly compressed JPEG at about 8kbytes), a picture of the Yaesu FT-50R (JPEG

compressed at about 3.7 kbpytes) and the background graphics (4 kbytes). The
overall text is about 12 kbytes, plus maybe another misc 2 kbytes (EFF logo, W
A
logo). That works out to about 30 kbytes total for the main page which should
download quickly at 14.4 kbps. As soon as the 12 kbytes of text (hronline.htm)

is downloaded, your browser should allow you to scroll around, even if the
graphics are still coming in. 12 kbytes ought to download in 10 to 20 seconds
depending on your modem speed, server load and Internet traffic.

Please write us at [e-mail] and let us know what you think of the new
design.

        The Olympic Torch Relay came through Chicago today. It was quite
exciting and the runner that carried the torch by me had a look of extreme
elation on her face. I was able to keep track of the event by tuning in to
the Chicago Police "Citywide 6" frequency for special events. It was an
easy choice. Two freqs (469.3625 and 469.5000) offered in a recent post to
this newsgroup for the "Caravan Control" didn't pan out, however. If the
Torch is coming to your town, keep tuned to your local municipality's
special events frequency and you should be well-informed about the relay
as it happens.

They are similar in that they allow computer control of the PRO200x series
radios.  The OS456 plugs in to existing connectors, and requires no
soldering.  The CE232 does require some soldering and chip pulling, but is
not all that bad.

Operationally the biggest difference is that the CE232 will allow you to
upload and download channels to the radio for use when the computer is not
connectedc, while the OS456 will not.  That means that you can load a
specific channel plan before a trip, and throw the radio in the car, and
when you return, you can UL a totally different channel plan.  The OS456
will not allow you to do this.

The CE232 is available installed in your radio for an additional charge, I
believe.  If you are really afraid of the soldering iron, then the OS456
will be better.  If you are competent with soldering small components,
then the CE232 may be better.

You are mistaken. They are made for the small radios. The major difference
is the Opto is mainly for controlling the scanner's usual scan and search
functions  and the CE is mainly for automatically programming channels.
Apples and oranges, really. You could use both.

Nope, at least not on it's on.  Theoretically, it would be possible to
hack on to it to add those capabilities, but would require both
hardware and software hacking.  I'm sure the microprocessor in the
CE-232 is capable of much more than it's doing.

Hi ,
Have a look at my foxhunting web page(s); there are several links
there also to other web pages on the same subject.  Hope this

There IS a hardware mod for the C-508A that restores full
cellular coverage AS WELL AS 30KHz steps in the cell bands.
I don't remember where I got, but search some of the
popular web sites and you WILL find it.

It is fairly simple and involves removing two of the SMT devices
on the main board.  I did it. It works.

Ron, Environment Canada uses 162.400 to 162.550 khz in .025 khz steps for
WeatherRadio Canada. The frequencies to the east include 162.550 in
Peterborogh and 162.400 in Omeemee (P'boro repeater). I live right on the
line, so I get Omeemee and not Toronto on my scanner.

There was a complete list of WeaterRadio Canada stations, frequences and
even a map at the Environment Canada web site, but it seems to have
disappeared.

BTW, that Omeemee repeater has been around for a year, but no one seems
to document it.

I second the motion. The BC3000XLT is a super scanner! I got mine
several months ago from ScannerWorld for $339 plus ten bucks shipping.
The sensitivity is great with a discone and overload ain't bad either.

Once you have it, there are lots of keypad tricks. Plus, SOME  people
actually listen to cellular with the darn thing at 1005-1030MHz.

Otherwise the radio is fine.

Reason for selling is it has 1000 channels and at best I have less

Police use "Signals" which are usually 2-digit codes that may differ
in each area.  In my area these signals are sometimes combined with a
response code to create a 3-digit code. For example:

Response codes: 1 - No lights or siren.
                  2 - Lights only.
                  3 - Lights and siren.
                  4 - No further help needed.

Signal 52 - Auto Accident.

A 3-digit code of 252 would be an auto accident,  respond with lights
only.

One source for signal codes is Police Call and possibly other
publications.  It depend upon you location.

This post is for a friend with no net access :(

Can someone tell me what frequency range(s) the BC70XLT is capable
of scanning?

Email would be great, since I'm not a regular to your fine newsgroup.


TIA!!

Yes, you are correct.  154.905  IS the 'mobile' input to the
'extender'  receiver in the trunk.  My list shows 39.140 as the OUTPUT
for the extender (?!) ~154.905.  Perhaps this would be the
better/stronger  frequency to monitor?

A PorCon SPECTRUM 96 shows:

39.140 ~  KA4993,  CHP,  9,525 vech. and 5,200 portables.
                   also many licenses for fixed locations/district
                   offices, same frequency.

Hummm?  Think I'll check it out for a few days...

I was just on a trip through California and of course saw quite a few
C.H.P. vehicles along the way.  I noticed that many of them still had
the old 30-50Mhz antennas on them...

Is C.H.P. still using VHF-Low or are they using a combination...A few of
the cars had UHF antennas on them.

It is the same product as the Trident TR-2400.

Better user interface than the prior Nissei scanners that AOR has sold.
(e.g. AR1000/XLT, AR1500/e/ex)

Some chronic, low-level intermod throughout a couple of bands (you have to
set the squelch higher).

There are better scanners on the market; there are worse :-)

  If you haven't left yet and still need the freqs, the Fort Bragg
and Seymour freqs are part of our "Triangle Area (central N.C.) list"
called TRIFREQ6.ZIP on the Raleigh Amateur Radio Society BBS.
The RARS BBS phone number is 919-772-7277 (772-RARS) and are in the

The term "shortwave" usually refers to frequencies below 30 MHz, but I
don't think there is actually any formal definition.
This is really a matter of history. Back in the old days frequencies
above 30 MHz wasn't even considered usable for radio communication, so
the terms longwave, middlewave and shortwave was used to name the frequency
bands used.
When technology developed the frequencies above 30 MHz became usable and
although this meant even shorter waves, the term shortwave was not used
very much regarding the new frequencies. Instead terms like VHF, UHF is used
just like frequencies below 30 MHz is referred to as HF.
Today when a radio amateur is talking about shortwave he surely means frequenc
ies
below 30 MHz

Cordless phones are 100 times easier to listen to (almost all scanners can
recieve tha tfreq range), though cellular obviously has a farther range. I
live in a medium-density area of town, and just about 24 hours a day I can
pick up a cordless phone. And I know that the people talking are local,
whereas with a cell phone the guy could be from Mexico and just driving
through.......

I just watched a little clip on the discovery channel about cellular
phones and the security concerns involved with them.  Like the typical
media, the discovery channel got completely confused when it came to
getting their terminology straight.  First of all, they were talking about
scanning cellular phones as they showed a scanner searching through the 49
Mhz band.  What's wrong with that picture?  Second, they showed a picture
of a frequency counter and they called it a scanner.  They said that
listeners find the frequency you are using by using a scanner, which was
really a frequency scanner, and then they tune in the frequency.  I wonder
what that thing is which the listener uses to tune in the signal?  Hmm.
The dicovery channel also stated that the average price for a scanner is
$500.  Since when?  it's almost difficult to find a scanner that
expensive.  I wonder why cordless telephones were not addressed in this
show?  Those are just as large of a security concern as cellular
telephones, if not more of a concern.  Oh well.  I just found this as a
bit funny, and it reminds me of the recent blopper Ladies Journal (I
think) made about why law abiding citizens would want to listen to the
police on a scanner. |-)

I emailed discrovery and told them what I thought.  Others should
do the same.

I told them about this newsgroup (I'm sure they don't know about it)
It seems that they really do not know what they are talking about.
Anyone knowing anything about scanners would not have made those
mistakes.  I would say their creditably is at great risk.

If such errors were made, then how about the other programs. Is the
same type of reseurch made?

You are right, cordless phones are a much bigger security risk than
cellular.  First of all, all scanners tune them in.  Also, you get entire
conversations, and most of all you can target a specific person quite
easily, just go near where they live.

I think Discovery should not be totally bashed for a few small mistakes.
Maybe they ought to be lauded for making the public aware and stating the
plain truth that anyone who uses a phone with an antenna on it can be
overheard quite easily by someone who wants to.

Besides, when they were doing the show, perhaps they had a recently
purchased scanner which does not tune to cellular frequencies, so they
just set it to 49Mhz because they had to set it somewhere.

I agree with the above. My guess is that they knew the difference, how
could they not? But for some reason, cosmetic, equipment failure, glare
etc., they decided that 95% of the folks watching wouldn't know the
difference anyway and used what they had to illustrate the point.

I saw a program on Nat'l Geographic once about how they make wildlife
documentaries and it really opened my eyes. What appears to the viewer to
be a seamless run is actually hundreds of short disconnected takes with a
completely artificial soundtrack all in the name of the higher truth of
educating the viewer, I suppose. The 5% of us that know the difference
are supposedly already educated and can be ignored.

Well, it's probably illegal (except to certain agencies) in the US. Of

As test equipment, or for hobbyist use, probably perfectly legal. As far
as worth, that would be up to you and the law of supply & demand.

Are you in Australia?  What system does this board work with, AMPS or
GSM?

There were a couple of these things available on the market a couple of
years ago in North America.  Could only be sold to the service
industry.  I think they required a dedicated radio to monitor and decode
the service channel and another to drive the traffic channel radio.  Is
yours any different?

I have two scanners and only one me. I need to get rid of either
my PRO43 or my PRO 26. I can't decide which one to sell so I will
just keep which ever scanner doesn't sell.

FYI -The pro 43 has been modified for cellular reception.

Both scanners are in perfect working order. The Pro43 is about 2 years
old and the Pro 26 is less than 6 months old. I would like to get
around $250 for  either. I will include a Condor antenna and I will pay
for
shipping to you. Please e-mail me with any questions or offers.

Glenn,

Read your post with much interest.  Communications equipment use lot's
of electronic mixing, tunning and amplification.  'Mixing'  is what I
suspect may be happening with your weak police signal?

When I added  your signal at  133.8875  AND   21.7 (what I suspect
your receiver "IF" frequency is),  that gave me:  155.5875,  or better
yet, a target frequency of  "155.58"MHz,  a authorized police channel!


Next time you hear traffic on the  133  frequency, quickly switch to
155.58  and see if the traffic is the same?  If so,  I suspect you
will hear the transmissions  MUCH  stronger!

I didn't find a city or state indicated in your message so I tried
another CD to locate two cities with your business name as listed
below.

I  also found  61  licenses issued on  155.58MHz  in  PA  for:
"The Commonwealth of Pennsylvaina",  law enforcement services as
indicated with the  'PP'  nomenclature.  None were in Shamokin or Mt.
Carmel.

Please let me know how you do?

73's
Uncle T.

BTW,  I first tried adding  21.4  to your frequency  and the result
was:  155.2875  or  "155.28".  This channel has many assorted
ambulance, a rescue team and a school district assigned there, so I
was confident that  21.4  as a  "IF"  was out.

If I am correctly guessing that your scanner has a first IF of 10.7 MHz,
you might try at ou about 155.2875.  The frequency you gave (133.8) is in
the aviation service.  If you are hearing police traffice there, it's
probably some type of image.  An image will often sound like a weak
signal.

What you see is the Digital Music Express system.  This is the Muzac of the 90
's.
The reason you can't pick anything up is because the way the signal is encoded
.
Apparantly, you have to have just the right antennae and all of the music is e
ncoded
on one or two bandwidths.  That's why a receiver box is required for reception
.  At
least that's what the company told me when I got the system for my bar.

Donal,
      Try the Fleet common freq. 277.800 AM.
Also check your area marine freqs. For instance, when the JFK was in NYC
last week, all the ships were heard on the NY ship traffic freq. 156.700.
If they have any helos launched for demonstration, try helo tactical 242.400
AM.
   When docked, try 142.305 and search 139-143 mhz for SP's. Some *may* be
encrypted however. There is not a lot of two way radio transmissions when
docked in any case.
     Have fun if you tour the ship. We got a personal tour in NY...bridge
etc., and it was great!

Most of the time, TV stations don't talk on their 450Mhz frequency, they
talk on their cellphones so that the competition won't be able to listen
in (easily) on their scanners.  The one exception, I've heard, is when
the news crews are in helicopters where they are not permitted to use

I have a slew of frequencies for the NYPD, but I would appreciate it
if someone could clue me in to their designations within the PD
itself, i.e., when someone says "go to channel 10," or the like, what
frequency are they referring to?

Thanks,

One advantage to the ce-232 is that you can program  your scanner from
your computer! This is great if you have the extra memory mod, saves
tons of time

An advantae of the Opto is it will decode DTMF codes.
Not sure if OPTO will work in cell freqs. the 232 does

I have the Scout and have used it with the R7100 on an Icom
made CT-17 interface. If the Scout is plugged in and NOT
powered on, then it will apparently lock up the interface.
Solution - either power the Scout on or disconnect it from the
interface. I suspect when not powered it grounds the interface
lines. I would also suspect that other Optoelectronics products
have the same "feature".

I use the optolinx and am pleased with it.  I use it to download my scout
too. I am using the AR8000 tool kit 1.1.1, you can down load it from the
web, and it works fine. It is limited and only allows you to send or read
data bank and system data and some of the 8k system settings.  If you want
to control it from a computer then as far as I know you have to go to a
PC.  On the Mac I use a standard Mac serial cable the same one that goes
to my modem. This is a DB25 at the modem end so I use a DB25 to DB9
converter and it all works fine.  I here that there is a wiz-bang Mac
program coming out this summer.

the reason those freq's are still listed is probably because MN still holds a

First time on this group.. hope this isn't a question that is answered
before.

I was wondering if there is a scanner card for PC's on the market? I am
interested in a card which covers the high VHF band, as I wish to listen
to the radio amateurs in the 145 MHz area. Typical functions would be to
save all speech as sound files, easy programming etc.

I know of a radio card that serves the normal FM (88-108 MHz)
frequencies, but have not seen any for the VHF bands yet.

Please reply to group, as others might be interested as well.

Thanks.

is where I got the mods from.  This was supposed to recover the
cellphone band as well, I removed both of the jumpers, but the cellphone
band remained locked out- guess its because it was a US model.
Ive found the receiver is very insensitive above 465MHz & suffers
from a lot of image interference, but for its size is an excellent
radio.

WOW! Its been a long time since you were able to do that! Guess that
would be about as old a trick as Angela Lansbury :)
Anyway, I was a movie once where the scanner was supposedly spewing
police dispatcher audio but a closup revealed the frequency was set to
146.79...the VHF HAM band!

Transmitting on the 480Mhz range would be illegal without a license.
These frequencies are used by both UHF TV stations and in some areas for

Perhaps you mean the 460Mhz band.  Here, you can get a license for
business use, or for General Mobile Radio Service.  Very low-powered GMRS

Hi Ron, great web-page BTW!

I am aware of three AES weather radio station around my area of Essex County:

162.475 out of Windsor Airport (tower is in McGregor)
162.400 out of Sarnia Airport (tower is in Oil Springs)
162.475 out of London Airport

As far as their signal coverage, when the Windsor station went on the air
7 years ago or so I wrote them and they sent me a QSL card and other neat
weather information.  According to their little map on the QSL card their
coverage was most of Essex County with some fringe coverage in far
western Kent County.  I think the transmitter power was 65 watts.

Hope that helps as a start!

Jeff

I'm looking for the offical list of what areas are covered by

eg Toronto CN Tower  162.400

How about everywhere else??!!

I e- mailed Enviornment Canada but have yet to receive a reply.

I'd like to get a hold of a map and add it to my web page so
that others can also use the information. can you help?

I found it thanks but I can't beleave my eyes.  They still have the
largest city (TORONTO) listed incorrect it changed years ago from
162.475 to 162.400   I don't trust Enviornment Canada. How can such
a error go un detected for such a long time.


Another thing, looking at the weather web pages on the WEB Canada
SUCKS.  What a slap in the face.  Even our Department of
Communications or Communications Canada can't put a better web
page together.   I also see that no one in both departments
returns email.


Thanks for all the replys. I gather there are an offical
5 frequencies or was it 6...anyways seeing that the very first
listing I looked at from enviornment canada (toronto) was wrong
I'm still looking for a more up to date listing.  I think I'll
phone the weather office and see what I come up with.

Hummm, never tried that aluminium foil stuff!  Got any schematics for

In terms of black helicopters, they don't know where Georgia is so we're
not bothered with them.  I understand the northeast has a few flying

fishing is good and the scanner listening in a few weeks is going to be

WASHINGTON - Clinton Watson of San Jose, California, who created
the "Lifetime Phone" software program used in cloning cellular phones,
was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay more than
$300,000 in restitution to wireless carriers, according to the
Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association.

The U.S. Secret Service and San Jose local police said Watson
operated the cloning scam from his home. CTIA estimated the loss
from Watson's operations between $1.5 million and $2.5 million.

In other news, Brian Snawder of Omaha, Nebraska was arrested
and charged with stealing at least $8,000 worth of airtime.
Investigators recovered more than 25 wireless phones and more
than 100 combinations of numbers possibly stolen from legitimate
customers, according to CTIA. The case is not completed yet.

The new "Always-In-Touch" paging device entered the market about
six months ago. It is advertised nationally by Hello-Direct of
California for $119.00.

We do not manufacture this product as we are resellers. We
have tested the device extensively and found it to be very
reliable and useful for persons who have Caller ID service
as well as a pager.

We are sorry you were offended by our recnt posting on Usenet.
We attempted to place this information on groups (such as
those dealing with electronics)that we felt the users would be
interested.

Therefore, your comment about "operating on a shoestring" has
no validity, since we are resellers.

I must agree with Ron. Most scanner owners that I know are gadget
freaks and news of a new one is always of interest. Okay, it's not a
scanner but it sounds like a nice toy. I just wish something similar
were available here in Britain but, so I believe, our Caller ID system
is different.

>This is an Ad, BUT it's in good taste.

Exactly. I've never understood some people's hatred of so-called junk
mail. When it comes through the door, it takes just a few moments to
decide if you want to read it or bin it and, occasionally, there's
something of interest. It's even easier with newsgroups, if I'm not
interested in what the header says, I don't bother to download the
body of the message. I would guess that I read about 5 per cent of
what's coming through so another ad here and there really doesn't
upset me. I can understand the worry about the flagrant spammers who
clog up systems by offering to tell the entire world how to make money
fast but this advertisement appears to have been carefully placed in
groups where the typical reader may have been interested in this type
of product.

I just hope the guys at Infinity Paging don't think the anti-ad
rantings are typical of readers of this group. I, for one, would like
all manufacturers and retailers who have new products they think I
would be interested in to let me know about them.

Are you sure that you want the 10.7MHZ IF?  I have modified my Pro2004
to get to the 10.7MHz and 455KHz IFs(10.7=WFM and 455=NFM & AM).  I
use my Kenwood R2000 to  listen to various SSB signals.
Most data units use audio straight from the demodulator.  Before the
de-emphasis(spelling?).  If you really need the IF out, just email
me and I will dig up the data.  I never throw anything away.  The Pro2004
and Pro2006 have nearly the same electronics.  I can not offer any advice
on the AR3000A.

That's basically what I wanted to use it for.  I bought the Radio Shack
Pro-25.  It was on sale for $200.  But it does NOT have the military air band.

Another thing I like about it, is that it will run for a long time on 4 plain

Speaking of MSP, when are they planning to change over to the new 800 MHz

Hello,
I purchased a Bearcat Thin Scan at a local auction. To my surprise
when I opened up the box, the scanner was still in the original
wrapping, never used and shining like a new radio. All the original
manual and warranty from Electra are still in there. The manual has a
copyright date of 1979. Is this radio a collectors item? Is anyone
interested in purchasing it? I have many scanners and really have no
use for a crystal scanner. If you are interested, give me a  price!
I live in the South Jersey / Philadelphia area but will ship if you
want. Thanks!  Lou      [e-mail]

Daniel - I have scanners, CBs, SWRs, etc. for the past 35 years and I
have tried many different types of antennas for all. My personal
experience with scanner antennas has been that for everyday scanning in
my particular area and terrain (SF East Bay) a simple and cheap Radio
Shack ground plane (RS # 20-014  /  $30) works the best with all my
scanners (RS 2006 / BC 250 / Regency MX-7000). I can get low band CHP
cars up in the Sierras and as far south as San Jose and get good UHF
reception over the hill from SFPD. 800 Mhz freqs come in okay, too. I'm
sure there are better antennas but with a 20' mast this cheap-o pulls in
signals more than adequately. Good luck and let me know what you end up
with..... MikeyA......

Radio Shack sells a combination CB and AM/FM antenna that replaces the

There is a coupler on the market today that for fairly cheap ($19.99)
that takes both units and makes them use 1 antenna without cutting,
splicing or any hard labor.

    Cellular in the US was carved out of the frequencies originally assigned
to UHF TV (chs 70-83 covered 806-890 MHz). An older TV with a manual tuner
can receive cell on chs 80-83 with some fiddling with the fine tuning (the
mobiles show up on chs 72-77). Since there are 200 cell channels for each
TV channel, and analog TV tends to drift without an AFC lock, reception is
poor at best.

That's why I'm pretty happy with my digital cordless. Noone can listen in on
that one. Too bad you guys in the States don't have that option. Same goes for
digital cellular. Only slowly coming around with PCS 1900 MHz networks in a fe

I have always found it funny that many manufacturers list this as a
"feature".  Security code systems to prevent unauthorized
telephone line access are *required* on all cordless phones (including
low band analog phones) under "part 15".  Any phone that doesn't have it
won't be type accepted by the FCC.

But again, Steve is correct, and be sure you look.  These required
methods are not there to prevent monitoring.  They are only there to
prevent someone else from access your phone line with another handset.

I recently tested both units and I've found the Cub to be as useful and

Not usually.  The converters drop the 800 mhz band to receive on 400
mhz, in general.  This is true for both the GRE converters and the

Is there enough interesting radio chatter to justify

On a side note, what is the range for picking up aircraft frequencies

I can't even seem to pick up our local airport (Crites Field in Pewaukee).
Do you have to be parked right next to the airport to hear anything?

I still don't believe you can do this without monitoring ALL the control
channels at the same time, and you physically can't do this with just one
scanner not matter how you mod it, or whether a PC is attached.  It can
still listen to only ONE channel at a time.

Yes, you build it box which could tune in a random call, and follow it
when it changes cells (till it gets out of range), but I think it's
impossible to reliably pick up a particular singled-out user and get them
EVERY time they make a call.  Legal issues aside, I'm talking about the
technical.

If you are tracking a single call then you only need to monitor the
control channel for the 'channel' that call is on.... the problem with
what he is suggesting is that it is impossible to monitor two things
(the control channel and the audio channel) with one reveiver and only
one vfo.....

The exception I place before the group is this... are the phone
channels under contoll of data in the contol channel or imbedded in
the audio channel?

another interesting side question... When a cell phone is on and not
in a [lace or receive call mode... Is the audio section of the phone
powered or unpowered?

I believe the data is embedded in the audio channel...cellphones don't
receive 2 frequencies simultaneously either.

Well, the "kit" suggestion has been mentioned before. I'd have to agree
with that. Especially if you sold it without some components that are
readily available at Radio Shack. I have seen several kits for sale in the
US that allow you to build a device that would be illegal to operate
(active radar jammers, cable descramblers, etc.). Many companies selling
kits point out that YOU (the customer) are the manufacturer of the device,
not them.

What do you mean by 'heat from the FED's --I thought it was determined
you were an 'out of towner' (across the sea) if so you would'nt be
worried about the FED's (U.S. of A)
sooooo, the next question is: where do you hang your hat.

I saw DMOORE and for a second I thought it was Demi Moore. Oh well...

The best thing to do is get the damn data sheet. Otherwise, I would
suggest placing a C/20 current limited charger at 13.8V on the battery.
[C/20 is 0.2A]. When the battery current falls, its done. Gell cells
can safely be floated forever.

I'm using a similar gel cell with a charging current of capacity*.1
(maximum capacity*.15) at 14.4V to charge (up to 10 hours), then
I switch to 13.8V to keep the charge. I built a charger from a
7815 followed by 2 silicon diodes (one is shorted by a switch
for full charge). Since my gel cell has a capacity of 9.5Ah,
the fold-back current of the 7815 is just below the maximum
charging current of the gel cell (1.5A).

The charger is based on a circuit from the 1985 ARRL handbook.

Hope that helps,
        Jens, DB9LL

Paul;

The easiest simplest gin pole is a pipe. You will need to have some kind
of hook or clamp at the bottom to attach to the tower, but you could get
away with using U-bolts if the tower legs are not too large. At the top
you simply need a pulley or block for your load line to go over. And of
course, the pipe has to be long enough to reach above the tower top
adequately to lift and plant the tower section/antenna. Be carfull about
lifting too much weight with such a gin pole, since the actual capacity
is not know unless you have the pole design checked. A good 2" OD
heavy wall aluminum pipe should work fine for the average 10' tall TV
tower section or VHF/UHF antennas.

There is a mod but it's not for frequency range.  To access 1025 Gig you
would
simply punch it in as such.  You don't use a third decimal for the gig.

Ie if I wanted to listen in on 1.2 gigs  it would look on the scanner
as:
1200.000.0

Give that a try and see if it works. <<

Hi Aaron, i think you may have missed the point.

The R7000 covers 25-2000 mhz, by adding 1000mhz to the 25-1000mhz
section. Therefore, you can not get say, 1022mhz, because it does not
cover 22mhz to start with.

In the UK some companies made an add on board to cover 50khz to 25mhz
ie, short wave bands. This, with the 1 ghz add button, gave coverage
from 50khz-2000mhz.

The R7100 has coverage from 25-2000mhz, without having to 'add' 1000mhz.

Hope this makes it a little clearer.

In Los Angeles I can pick up bursts on 173.075.  The deal is that there seem
to be little bursts quite often. When the unit is activated does the unit send

a signal at a predetermined inverval (ie. every 1 sec)?  It seems that I am
hearing a burst avbout every 15-30  sec pretty much all the time.  Is this a
diagnostic/control/test signal or a lot of cars getting stolen around here?

An article in the Ariz Republic earlier this week talked about a
moving company that was using radio to help as they moved things into
a downtown office building. Seems that the radios picked up nearby McD
drive-thru traffic. The movers eventually sent one of their workers
there to get lunch.
To make a short story end quick ... the manager of the McD (who
remained nameless) complained to the reporter about the movers radio
being on the same freq, saying that McDonald's paid the government for
those frequencies and owned them.

The situation in Canada (and probably the USA) is you don't own the
frequencies, you are only allowed to use them. If the FCC licenced
both McD and the moving company to use the same frqs (which is VERY
common on business band) then not much they can do except either
change frequencies or make certain that they have different PL tones
for the radios. The PL function will squelch out all but your own
users. Normally McD (or other fast food outlets) will use low power
units so other traffic would not be a factor.

Eden Prarie is running a E.F. Johnson trunked System on 800 Mhz.  This was
one of the first Johnson trunked public safety systems and was featured in
a multi-page spread in Radio Resource (a radio industry publication).

Thier freqs. are:

856.4875
857.4875
858.4875
859.4875
868.4875
868.7625  (probably conventional used as talk-a-round)

It is very doubtful that you will be able to lock on to any conversations,
and since this is probably a digital system is is very doubtful that you
will recieve audio.  Good luck.

You are very correct, don't try this, you can end up with smoke coming

Highly unlikely you'd find anything that would work well.  The best solution
really is have a separate antenna for the scanner, IMO.  Those AM/FM

In this newsgroup or in rec.radio.swap I just saw someone
selling the AOR8000 with some mods added for just under what
it is new (he wants the $ now).  This radio will do it all,
but as a posting here says, they think better made is Yupi
7100.  There's now a 7200 & less capable 8000 also.
The Yupi's are going for $400 right from grove (just saw it
10mins ago). I owned both.  Never used Yupi for more than
glorified CB receiver on long road trips because the AOR8000
can do so many things. You can tweak just about any aspect
on it.  But you can't go dropping the AOR- it's just not made
as solid as the Yupi's case is.  AOR will let you connect
up to your PC (i'm connecting it to my Palmtop that also
fits in my pocket) with ScanCat or Probe software. The AOR8000
costs something like $550, but several are sold here in these
newsgroups today, one saw was just posted.

There are a few scanners, notably from Yupiteru, that cover shortwave as
well as VHF/UHF, but they're extremely expensive, and the particular Yupi
I'm thinking of is illegal in the U.S. due to covering the cellular phone
band.  (Scanners don't eavesdrop, people do, but try telling that to the
people in the government and the phone industry.)

In general, however, you'd do better with a dedicated scanner and a dedicated
shortwave receiver.  The frequencies are radically different, so you shouldn't
expect equal performance from one unit.

FYI, The torch passed thru Michigan yesterday and today. Following freqs
were in use:

464.500 (pretty sure of 131.8 PL)
464.625 (possibly DPL 051)
468.375 (unknown PL/DPL)

The first two seem to be used by concessions/vendor crews. The last one
seemed to be more of the official "Ops" freq.

I've owned both the scout, and the predecessor to the cub, For true frequency
measurement the cub will excell in accuracy, and probably in speed. However yo
u
will be frustrated with annoyance of having to hold it in your hand and
constantly watch the screen. The gate time is simply the amount of time that i
t
takes to make a reading, the faster the gate time is set, the faster the
measurements will come, but the less accurate they will be. if you're using
this for a bench counter, the solower gate makes sense since you can keep the
RF going for a couple seconds, however if you're in the field, you need to get

the number and use it.

Hope this helps! '73 de Mike

What is wrong with using IRQ5?  On many systems, it's open.  If you have

Try Control Panel, System, System Properties, Device Manager, this will

myself can't try it now because I want to stay logged on, but it looks
this will let you set IRQ's of your choice.

If this fails, try visiting the "local library" (bookstore or book section

Likely so.  Any good computer dealer should be able to answer that.  If
they aren't smart enough to, try another dealer.

Also, as a last resort you could get a PS/2 type mouse and card, plug
that card in, and it uses irq12 and won't take up a com port.

Hi,

A prior post in this newsgroup told me about the following proceedure.
First start a display test by pressing the 2,9,band or the 2,9,moni keys
(I forget which I used, the post mentioned both) before the display test
is done press the 2,9,L/OUT keys and hold them down untill the test is
done.  This loaded the 25 freqs into memory (and deleted all the others
by the way).

My pro-51 has a date code of 7A4 and this worked for me.  It's also for
sale.  See other post in this group.

Hope this helps.

weather the mod is reversed or not will depend on what failed and how
they repair it...

They dont care if/how you modified the unit unless they can prove it
violated the warrantee and you are asking for a warantee (free) repair

But if the method of repair is to replace the board which failed, and
its one you modified then yess you will get the unit back with the mod

RS used to sell a voice-activated recorder that allowed you to switch between
high and low sensitivity. The "low" setting seemed to ignore the speaker hiss
and birdies...I used to set up to recorder and scanner in my dorm room to
catch cordless phone traffic when I was in college (during my younger,
perverse days :) )

Regarding your PS, you might try a Y-splitter. You can probably find something

like this at (you guessed it) Radio Shack.


Best of luck,

There are a few used by RT, unfortunately they are shared or "trunked"
with Sacramento County's new "Unscannable" Yeah right !! 800 mhz
communications system. So in order to hear light rail, you also MUST
listen to the Sheriffs Dept., Sac. County Fire etc.. Your best bet in
attempting to scan that is go to Radio Shack and spend $9.99 on Police
Call Plus, it's accurate but the hard part is to follow the 40-50
different 800 mhz frequencies Sacramento Co. is using!!

I would venture a guess that the AM/FM card works because of the
higher transmission power, but I would also guess that putting a
scanner card in an RF rich PC would not perform too well.

Try putting your scanner next to your PC and note any
effects you may see..  :)

Seems the only way to keep up on rigs that can be modified to get the "forbidd
en band" is to buy early, before
anyone figures out the mod, and complains to the manufacturer.
The early Standard C-508A's had 30 khz step size as standard (no pun intended)
in the 800 mhz segment.  The
image reception was excellent, even without hardware mod.
If you check Javiation home page, Standard has come out with a mini scanner wi
th about the same frequency range
as the AR8000 (DC to light!).  I believe it is just a bit longer than the C-50
8A.
At Dayton (for those interested), one of the Standard representatives was from
 Japan, and showed us a tri-band
version of the C508A!! WOW!.  2Meters, 440 and 1.2 Gig!  The bad news is that
it will not be marketed in the US
anytime soon because of the prohibitive cost.  Buying a unit from Japan won't
work either, as their government
prohibits rigs that can be opened to full range transmit, and the Japanese Ama
teur band plan is much different
than the US.  Oh well!

        First, they don't care what it sounds like because that particular
use of those frequencies (broadcast remote) is "protected" by ECPA - in other
words illegal to monitor in the USA.   :-)

        Second, this type of operation is often in full-duplex mode to
support IFB (Interruptable Fold Back), where the studio can cue a remote
unit while that unit is sending to the studio.

Would anyone out there consider a trade ?

1)  I have a Kenwood TR-7930 2 meter mobile in 99% mint shape.  It has 21
memories, factory PL, 25 watts, touch tone keypad on the front panel, nice gre
en
LCD display, center tuning LED, reverse and priority LED's, time and carrier
scan, mic, mobile mounting bracket and the manual.  This radio has NEVER been
mobile.  It was mounted under a shelf in my shack.  I was going to post it for
around $200 dollars.

2)  Icom IC-24AT 2 meter / 440 dual band handi talkie. Radio is in OK shape,
normal wear, numbers on keypad are rubbing off (like the 2at). It has 40
memory channels, LCD display, up to 5 watts output (12 volt pack) factory
PL, 7.2 volt battery (new Oct.95), manual and W&W charging CUP. The 12 volt
pack is a LARGE pack (I think 1500ma from Periphex) but one of the slide rails
 is
broken off. It is about 11 months old and is useable. I was going to post for
around $225.

  I would like to trade EITHER one for a
  Radio Shack Pro-2004 scanner or
  Trade BOTH for
  a 2 meter all mode (digital)
  These items should be in good working order and should look good.

         What do you think?

For Virginia State Police, try:

158.9850
159.1650
159.1350

Except in Northern Virginia, the VSP operate in duplex mode, which means
you will need the mobile frequencies.  These are paired with the above
frequencies, respectively:

154.9350
154.9050
155.4450
155.4600

Various CTCSS tones are used with these frequencies.

Statewide frequencies:

154.6650 "Tac"--a simplex car-to-car frequency
154.6950 Surveillance--simplex
458.3500 Vehicular repeaters
039.5400 Statewide Interdepartmental Radio Service (SIRS)

154.6800 (simplex) is used by the Executive Protection Unit (EPU), which
protects the governor and other upper-level officials.  It is used mostly
in the Richmond area.

shep79-

I've been monitoring Mil Air freqs in the SF Bay Area for about a month
but have picked up action on these freqs:
235.1 Navy/Air Force refueling
364.2 ACC USAF
321.0 STRATCOM
311.0 STRATCOM
322.8 USAF refuel
260.8 "Bigfoot" Operations McChord AFB, WA
234.6 USAF
349.4 USAF AMW

There are others but I can't confirm them as of yet. I've intercepted
refueling off the coast as well as training exercises. One interesting
intercept was a TR-1/U2 out of Beale AFB with altimeter gauge problems. If
you hear any "Pinion" callsigns, more than likely they're U2s out of
Beale.

Oakland Center ATC covers a big area but here's some freqs close by. You
can hear a combination of commercial and military traffic.
125.85
127.8
323.0
353.5
134.15
387.1
127.95
132.95
269.1
316.1

Since it seems you're in Napa you might be able to pick up Travis AFB. I
can't here in Oakland. Here's the freqs:
Tower: 236.6, 255.9/120.750
Approach/Departure: 371.2/119.9, 291.0/126.6, 395.8/126.6

Keep in mind that scanning mil freqs is hit or miss. There are days where
I'll only get a couple of hits and other days when there'll be lots of
action. About 90 percent of my scanning is mil air. One of those cheap
Radio Shack VOX recorders comes in handy. You can leave the scanner
unattended for hours, come back and listen to the hits. Hope this'll give
you a good start. Good luck.

There was a lot of discussion on DTMF decoding last year.  Some guy was
pushing his DOS crippleware program that was supposed to be able to
decode but I tried it and found it to be unreliable in it's results.
Subsequently, I downloaded COOL150.zip.  This is a windows program that
can do a lot of stuff with sound files including a fourier transform to
identify the fundamental and harmonics in a complex waveform.  It
required a little work to decode the digits but I found it to have good
accuracy.  I'm sure it is still available at
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/.13/asme/WIN_ENG/

Remember that cellular was first deployed in the early 80's.  The

average hacker back then with that day's technology.  At that time, they
probably thought the system was secure.

Remember the phone phreaks of the 70's?  Back then, all it took was a box
which generated a few simple tones and you could call free anywhere in

Well, actually, you can.  International calls still use the Automated Coin
Telephone Service.  And even if a live operator were to come on the line,
correctly calibrated red box tones would appear identical to the tones
generated by the 'actual red box' inside the phone.  I would not include
a Radio Shack tone dialer in a definition of a correctly calibrated red box
.  The operators can tell the difference between a RS tone dialer and normal
money because the tones played by the RS device are slower, but still within
specs for ACTS.

Incidentally, the phone phreaks of the 90's still use a box that generates
a few simple tones to call free anywhere in the world.

Yeah, right. No doubt they "estimated" this "loss" by assuming
that, if cloning software didn't exist, everybody who had cloned
a cell phone would have gone right out and paid for a second
account just so they can get a second phone.

If the cell phone companies want to stop people from cloning,
the solution is simple: allow customers to use more than one
phone on an account. As long as they keep trying to fleece
their customers, a lot of them are going to find ways around
it.

It was cellphones, not pagers, being cloned.   The "lifetime" cellphone
contains the ESN/MIN's of 100 legitimate subscribers in the phone, and the
user could select anyone he chose to bill his calls to.  When each
account got cut off after a month (when the real user found out what was
going on), the user would change over to start using another account from
the memory in the phone.

Yeah, I remember back in the early 80's, a cellphone, the kind you'd put

sorry I'm not sure what happened.  I think I replied to a message that

other newsgroups that had it.  I'm not even sure how send a message to
more then one newsgroup at a time.

I'd like to know what is available on the market if it has to do with
two way radios, scanners, communications devies etc.  Maybe the add
should not be posted in full but a link to a web page would be a
better idea.

I've read some great arguments but I'm still not convinced.  I also
agree that this has turned from a discussion on what belongs on the
newsgroup to just about what I eat for dinner.

I've expressed  my opinion and so have others.  Thats it for me!

I think that means 250 channels total can have alpha labels, not

Could be that only 250 total are allowed.  I'll check to see how many

Can someone else check their rig for the same behavior . .

if you read the intro to the radio shack book, they say they have "decoy"

Hi,

I'm thinking about spending some time and pulling together all of the motor
racing frequencies I can find and keeping updated lists on a www site.  There
are a few sites out there with scattered lists of racing frequencies, but none

that I can find that are at all comprehensive when it comes to motor racing.

My question is this... are their any legal issues with copying frequency lists

from such places as: The Radio Shack books, frequency manuals from companies
like Race Scan and Racing Electronics, other www pages?  I can't imagine that
those places "own" the rights to the lists as the frequencies are public
information.

Obviously, I wouldn't want to just copy verbatum, but instead use those lists
as a baseline and update as necessary.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks,
Steve

Copyright infringement would be if you photocopied the page of their book,
with their layout etc. Frequencies, along with telephon numbers,
addresses, and a lot of other stuff in public knowledge. Hence, it is
available to everyone. True, most frequency guides and some dictionaries
use "decoy" information, so they can trace who got what info where, but
most of the time you can avoid any problems by putting a note on you page
saying "Some of this data was obtained from Radio Shack's Police Call
directory." As long as you don't post the whole book, they shouldn't have
a problem with it. Most magazines are the same way, you can use quotes
(frequencies) as long as you don't use the whole thing and annotate where
you got them. Of course, if you actually hear a frequency on your scanner,
you don't have to quote anything, since you could have been scanning that
freq range and heard it.

In a few words...great radio, lots of features, wide band, computer
interface, etc.  Mechanical construction leaves something to be desired.
Not as solid as most other hand-held equipment.

Hello Steve,

On the face of it, It does seem a lot, but don't forget the rest of
it.

I have produced a kitset here in the UK which I sell for 25.00 UKP
plus postage -  I guess that might translate to 75 - 100 bucks

The chip inside only costs a couple of pounds, But by the time you add
the double screened high grade computer cable (2 metres), the special
flat ribbon cable for the back of the radio, the metal diecast box to
put it in, the computer 9 pin or 25 pin "D" connector,  all the other
bits and pieces, (strip board, capacitors, resistors, solderpins,
mounting pillars, heatshrink etc etc).

Together with a complete set of  working drawings and a step by step
instructions .... Believe me, there is no profit in it. I don't do it
as a commercial enterprise -  I only do it as a service to the
AR8000/27000 fraternity....(I have access to electronic components at
trade and am very interested in computer control and software.)

Without the special AR8000/7200 flat ribbon cable, the unit is a
regular interface that will control any radio (or other equipment)
that has an RS232 port at TTL logic level.

If any one wants more info on my interface kitset, Please email me & I
will send more info.  (I haven't as yet sent one to the US, but I
guess  there is always a first time!)

Happy scanning to you all...

Hi Philip...
I believe the reason AOR says not to plug into 120v for extended periods
of time is because the power cube is charging the batteries in the scanner
at all times...Overcharging the nicads can cause problems...I have removed
the nicads from my 8000, and ran the power cube from 120 volts since the
day I received it...No problems have occured so far...good luck...

Greetings all, from a happy new AR8000 owner!

I was just reading over the instructions, and I'm not an electronics
whiz, so I was hoping you could clear something up for me.  The AR
is supplied with an external power jack and wall adapter, and I assume
the wall adapter is for AC current, however the instructions seem to
indicate never to connect the AR to an AC power source!  Is this some
kind of Country specific thing where us people in America lose out?
I would like to be able to power my AR at work for 10 hours a day
with a standard wall electrical socket (the standard, I THINK is 120V AC).
So explain to me, if you would, if this is possible, or if we in the US
just can't connect the AR to a wall socket.  If I can buy a converter,
what model, exactly, would I need?  Your expedient reply is most
appreciated!  The more replies the merrier, and via e-mail more so.
Thank you!

No flame.  The BC300 is a great radio and is worth having.  I have one
myself.  They are about the last radios that you can still work on - many
discrete components.  The display goes blinky on some units after a while,
but a 99 cent cap will fix it.  Great radio.  $175 is about right.

probuly don't care, but if your like me, you enjoy seeing how scanners

  And another Movie with a scanner in it is Die Hard. Looked like a

Yes, but in the movie Copycat, did you happen to notice the scene where
she's listening to the police dispatcher talking about a homicide? Yet
the scanner is tuned to a 146Mhz Ham frequency? I wish they'd get their
facts straight! Its like Bruce Willis using a 2m HAM handheld in Die hard

By "latest unit" do you mean the EXP 900? it is advertised on the Uniden
web page: http://www.uniden.com/product/proinfo/cordless/pi900.htm . I just
bought one and it seems OK, but I've only used it indoors near the base
so far. It is listed as "EXP 900 Cordless with 900 MHz & Voice Scramble"
but it doesn't say what sort of scrambling it has. I bought it because
it was half the price locally of the 9100, but I was wondering if anyone
knew just how secure it really is. It is described as a digital phone and on
the web page it says "Voice Scramble Security  -  This unique feature
scrambles your transmissions for the most secure and private conversations".

Comments anyone?

Absolutely.  A simple low cost Yagi directional antenna for 50 MHz is
described in the ARRL Antenna Book at 18-22.  It has three elements
appx. 9 1/2 feet long mounted on an 8 foot boom.  Picking the midpoint
of your freq. range (44.5 MHz) and applying the appropriate formulas
reveals a 3 element beam with elements from about 10 1/4 feet to 11
1/4 feet long.

You may be able to find a copy of the handbook at your local library
or at a local amateur radio store.  Or, if you want to buy the book
visit http://www.arrl.org/.

I live in Melbourne, roughly 30nm, 55km, 35miles from Tullamarine (Melbourne

The local field, Moorabbin Airport, is about 6nm, 12km, 8miles from my house,

the antenna, I can hear all communications except for the aircraft when taxiin

the airport. Using the portable antenna which comes with the scanner is useles

  Thanks for all replies.
The experimental unit I have designed works very well. Although the
cell data is far above audio, and you do mention the 20khz-wide IF,
the 2006 has a 'WIDE-FM' mode, with a seperate demodulator chip to
cope with this. The cell data is perfect at this point.
  Without giving too much away, the 4046 is impossible to get to
lock on the signal, as the signal uses two different frequencies
at 'random'. I did originally try a 4046 (for DAYS!) and gave it up
as a bad joke.
  The UMF1000t chip is a good thing, but unnesassary when using a PC,
as all the smart stuff is done by the PC anyway.

 Thanks again for the reply, however it is looking to be a little too
risky, although it would have been cheap and easy. (and fun)

It is called a down converter. It actually subtracts 400MHz from the freq,
so you can tune in 870MHz at 470MHz on your scanner. You put it between
your antenna and your scanner. You can buy kits or assembled units. Kits
are about $50 and assembled units are $90 - $100. Tucker (1-800-559-7388)
and Grove (www.grove.net) sell them.

I have had one for about 9 months now.  Great little scanner. for the
casual user.  Best part...since it is not the top of the line scanner,
it does not have all the top notch filtering.  As a side benefit, you
can pick up "cellular images"  in the 800 to 956 mhz range.  These
"images" are identical to the actual cellular freq's.  In other words,
you can easily hear cellular conversations!

What you are hearing is the signal from the Lojack tower that tells
the mobile lojack transmitter to begin it's squalking.

It may also continue to rehit the lojack device every once in a while
and then finally disable it when the vehicle is located.

If this signal seems to be pretty strong and not moving, then that is
what you are hearing.  As far as I know Lojack only utilized one
frequency both for turning on the transmitter and for sending it's
data bursts every second.

Hope I've helped some.

All gaps, except the cellular gap, on RS and BC scanners are there due to
RF circuitry limitations. These gaps are there to make the RF board less
expensive, not because of legal requirements. Some scanners can be
modified so that the microcontroller will "tune" in another band, but if
the RF section is not tuned for that band, you won't get anything!

I would like to hook an external antenna to my scanner in my car.
Unfortunately, I do not want a kajillion antennas hanging off of my car.
Does anybody know a place where I can get a device to use one of my
existing antennas ( CB or AM/FM ) to receive scanner transmissions.

Is it even possible to hook up a scanner to a CB antenna while the CB
is in use?  My CB can output 17 watts, and I would not like to smell
smoke coming from my scanner.

I guess that what I am looking for is similar to those adaptors that
let you use your CB with your AM/FM antenns, just with different
frequencies.  Any manufacturer or vendo info would be appreciated.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that the reason that these batteries
have not been offered before under the name of major manufacturers is
because of the possibility of misuse and injury.  I know that Energizer
Power Systems (formerly Gates) makes AA hydride batteries, but refuses
to sell them to anybody but OEMs because they can be dangerous if
installed in a compartment without ventilation (like a Mag Light).

Personally I think they're a bad choice over nicads due to their slef
discharge rate. They go dead in less than 2 weeks. OK if yo keep them on
trickle charge all the time, but those hazmat issues concern me for
safety.

NiMH AA cells are available from E.H. Yost & Co. (Mr. NiCAD 608-831-3443)

They cost $ 3.50 each + S&H.  Capacity is 1,100 mah, about twice NiCads.
The recommended charge is about 10% of rated capacity for 14 hours.
The AR8000 wall charger seems to work fine, no heat or smoke.  Just be
sure not to overcharge.

The Olympic Torch Relay will use some frequencies in the 464-468 band.  Also t
ry
monitoring 167.5625, the nationwide FBI channel--communications reported to be
 in the
clear!  There are several posts about the Torch Relay in rec.radio.scanner.

As for the actual frequencies used at The Games, Motorola has installed a huge
, complex
communications network.  The Popular Communications article said officials wou
ld use
about 10,000 walkie-talkies, 1,500 pagers, and 1,500 cellular phones (the numb
ers may be
slightly off).  The walkie-talkies are reported to be set to 900 MHz trunked
frequencies--the system is completely digital.  This means communications will

be unintelligible to scanners.

But all is not lost.  In the Atlanta area, listen to Atlanta Police, Fire, EMS
, and city
services.  Also check out the mass transit frequencies, which should be extrem
ely
active.

In the Washington, D.C. area, where the soccer matches will take place, check
out the
same agencies.

Dave:

The cordless phones work on two different frequencies at the same time.
One is for the handset to talk to the base, and the other is the base to
talk back to the handset.  The 49 MHz area if the handset.  And yes, the
49 MHz area is also used for those baby monitors.

As for 1020 - 1030 MHz...you're most likely hearing what is called
images of the Cellular band.  It's not "right on" frequency.  It has to
do with the frequency of the IF's in your scanner, harmonics, etc.

These are "images" of cellular phone calls.  The true frequency is
between 870 and 894Mhz, which your radio probably won't tune to.  But most
radios receive these (and other) frequencies, not as clearly, at some
other place on the "dial".  Exactly where you find the images varies
depending on how the radio is designed and what intermediate frequencies
are used.

Assuming your antenna system from the connector at the radio up to and
including the antenna is OK, it sounds like you bought a dud 2006.  As
many as they made, there is always bound to be one or two flaky ones
produced. The reputation of the 2006 would indicate that the

If what you have on your mind is restoring the blocked-out channels, you
aren't going to get very far with the radio alone.  However, if you
spring $300 or so for an OS565 computer interface, and do major surgery
on your radio to install it, then you can enter a 20-digit unlock code.

There is no cut-off date.  With newer ones, you just have to go into Test
Mode 3 (hold down [2] [9] [Band] at the same time) which lights up all
your LEDs from left to right to verify they are working.

From there, you can do a [2] [9] [Lockout] and just into Test Mode 1
(which fills the first 25 channels with preset frequencies, including
one inside the illegal 800mhz cellular and a few in another blocked
area -- simply scan up and down from inside the banned area and set
your scan limits within).  There is a FAQ around here somewhere that
explains it all in detail.

Permit me to do a followup to my own article: The 800xlt runs *awfully*
hot! The power transformer must be undersized for the current the radio
draws. I removed the backup battery case to allow the heat to escape from
the interior of the case. Is this high heat normal?

Has anyone managed to mod a Uniden SC150?  My best guess is that it is
most similiar to the RS PRO-46.  It seems that ALL the features match
exactly except that the keypad tests don't work the same.  When
entering the test mode 1 (2,9,L/O), it forces the display test.  Using
other combinations, I found that I can perform the PRO-46 TEST MODE 1
by using the the 2,9,SCAN key.  However, the SC150 leaves out the
following frequencies:
        66.450
        76.825
        87.425
        888.96

If anyone has any information on ANY mod available, please let me
know.

Maybe he has an Antenna fallus fixation. Likes playing with the

If his frequency is related to length, there aint much around 3 Ghz!

I'll save you some time: get it.

But if that's not enough :) I've been using the Scout/AR8000 setup for
several months now and I will try to answer the questions I am  familiar
with.

The Opto Scout manual warns that although the AR uses Flat Flexible Cable
for the serial data interface, it is "difficult to work with... in a
portable application." It says the best solution is to add a >2.5mm< phone
jack, which is what mine has. The manual has complete instructions on how
to add the jack. In fact, the manual is very well written (in stark
contrast to the AR 8000's). However, all this was before EEB started
selling the SAC8000, however, which is a snap-in battery cover mount for
the flat cable, which apparently has replaced the 2.5mm jack mod.

As for what it comes with, the Scout comes with nothing. Not even an
antenna. Well, it came with some frequency database software, but that's
it.

Computer cables are extra.

It does seem to work better with specific antennas at farther distances;
close up, however, there seems to be little difference, and full
schematics were not supplied with my unit.

Highly recommend this addition to the AR8000. In fact I use it for nothing
else but Reaction Tune configuration as I have several other radios that
are dedicated monitors. It's the best thing I've bought in years.

Well, all i am telling you, is that when i order an I-F-B unit
from Telex, their catalog says: Interupted FEED back.

Enough said... from the manufacturers mouth, so to speak... As a
matter of fact I am looking at one right now and it says
Interupted FEED Back.

So there!

Jeff,

I knew of the availability of the cellular band between 894 & 915.
What was of most interest to me, however was picking up the Police &
Fire frequencies between 806 MHz & 860 MHz, which you can get with the
preprogrammed services feature, but not directly.  I did receive a
response on how to receive these bands as they appear in the 151 MHz -
160 MHz range.  I will post or e-mail it to anyone who is interested.

Now, what are Nite Scan and what kind of earphone jack audio output
mods can you do?  IÆm a little new at this so I would love to be
enlightened in this area.

Thanks for your response, as I really appreciate the help.  Thanks
again.

Jason

It is indeed true that the Uniden BC220/230XLT can get these frequency
ranges.  Actually, the unit lets you search and manually enter
frequencies between the frequency ranges of 860 MHz - 956 MHz.  It has
preprogrammed Police, Fire, Marine, Aircraft, and Weather bands which
also include frequencies in the 806 MHz to 860 MHz range, but you
cannot enter these frequencies directly, or save them to memory (not
that I've found at least!)

Let me know if I can be of more help.

Ok, this is the USA and we're all entitled to make a living.
There is money to be made selling frequency "lists" and I have bought
my share over the years. Problem is that much of the information in
the "lists" is outdated. Sure there might have traffic on the
frequency years ago but is it in use NOW?

I would like to share information with anyone who is actively engaged
in the ever shrinking monitoring hobby who would like to share info
about what they have PERSONALLY been hearing TODAY or THIS WEEK.

Of course I realize that VHF or UHF radio from California would not be
heard here in Ohio, except for low band skip (come on sunspots!!!) but
I would welcome you're shortwave or satellite info. Sorry about that,
but I am sure that someone would be quick to point out the obvious.

The internet is perfect for sharing near realtime and realtime
information. Those of us with IPHONE or a simmilar program could share
realtime audio. What are you listening to? Maybe start an IRC channel?

I'm particularly interested in UHF and satellite military air,
shortwave air and any voice or data to be found on the commercial Ku

Percon shows 160.980 licensed to "Long Beach, City of" call sign WPES627
as a railroad frequency.  It also indicates that the Southern Pacific RR
has licenses throughout the state, and that the city of Wilmington has a
license for the Harbor Beltline you mentioned.

Hope this helps.

Oooops - right you are!  I've got some lists in front of me now, and
one lists 160.980 as ATSF's Maint freq for Barstow.  An older (ok, 1983)
list says the 'Harbor Belt Line RR' in San Pedro used it as a road freq.
Neither would normally have anything on 'em that sounded like law enforcement.

That's probably not very helpful - sorry for any confusion I might have

According to the lastest Percon Spectrum disk it's either the Cit of

yascan17.zip    The Yaesu FT736r becomes a recording scanner

YAscan ver. 1.7 is a DOS program that works with the CAT (Computer-Aided
Transceiver) function of the popular Yaesu FT736r VHF/UHF radio to turn
it into a recording scanner.  The FT736r CAT port connects to your
computer's serial port via a voltage conversion interface such as the
FIF-232c.  A 3-wire home-brew interface should also work.  YAscan can be
set to scan a range of frequencies (e.g.  144.665 to 146.000 at 5KHz
steps) or a specific set of frequencies (e.g. 144.665, 146.880,
431.000...).  Scanning can take place in the NFM, FM, LSB, and USB modes.
Frequencies heard are displayed on the computer screen indicating
frequency, number of times heard, S-meter range, and first and most
recent time heard.  This information can be printed or saved to disk for
later viewing, or for importing to a data base or loading into YAscan and
other programs.  The program is simple to use and has complete
documentation built-in.

Special requirements: Yaesu FT736r Transceiver, and serial port to CAT
                      interface.

Changes: Compared to ver. 1.4, the program now works with the FT736R
transceiver 1.2Ghz module, several problems have been resolved, the
number of scan passes' is recorded on printed output and saved
files.  (The file 'read7.me', accompanying YAscan17, contains the change
history.)

yascan17.zip has replaced yascan14.zip.

Um, excuse me, but I'm not talking about "stealing", I'm talking
about simply being able to ALTERNATE PHONES ON YOUR ACCOUNT.

Look at it this way: do you pay $30 a month to the phone company
for each telephone that you have in your house? No. You pay $30
(or thereabouts) for each LINE. You can hook up as many telephones
as you want to a single line, and it's not stealing, because you
can't make more than one call on one line at the same time anyway.

Clear enough now?

>The majority of

>trying to make a quick and dishonest buck that are the cloners.

Do you have a statistic on this? I would bet that the majority of
cloners are people like my dad. He has a bag phone right now that
he uses for road trips (because it has a lot more power), but he
would like to get a handheld model to carry with him in town. But
he can't, because he'd have to have a whole new account for that
new phone, even though he'd never use them both at the same time.

(NOTE: I am *not* saying that my dad has gone and cloned himself a
cell phone. I'm just saying that I suspect that's the reason many
people do it.)

Of course stealing someone else's frequencies and ID numbers and
using them for illicit purposes are illegal and immoral. But
that's the usage of the technology, not the technology itself.

How about starting a cassette recorder when your local police/fire/EMS service

activiated?  I just bought an old BC-III and only installed police, fire and e
ms
frequencies for the commuinty that I live in.  My wife gets lost with my 200 a

I to find
out why the fire whistles just went off.  If I find another crystal scanner RE
AL cheap
(I got this one for $5) I might just make my own "Minitor" and let it scan fir
e/ems both
of which are activitaed with dual sequencial tones.  I would mute that one and
 only turn
on the audio/start the tape going when a call was activiated.  Just a thought.

Rich:

I will try to find the decode I saw the other day in a catalog.  It
had DIP switches to set what tones to decode.  You had to provide a
source of audio, and it had a relay to control what ever you wanted.

You could wire it to set off a buzzer and unmute the scanner audio or
something.  And ONE scanner's audio could be fed to several decoders
so that you could receive alerts from several agencies.

BEST of all, it was only about $25.00.

One problem.  You would have to know the tones that are used for each
service.  You would also have to know if these are Motorola or
Plectron tones.  (they are different in tone an format)

But you could do it.  Something to play with for sure.

What is the differance between Motorola and Plectron tones?

Also, I've recorded my fire company tones, used a frequency meter on
the computer to find out the frequency then used the computer to
generate the same freq. tones (cleaner, no static) and have set of
pagers and sirens playing the tones through a portable radio on our
dispatch freq.(with permission from the dispatch center. They said it
couldn't be done, but it worked!) Their base console is a Motorola.

And I would be VERY interested to find out about the decoder you are

Motorola and plectron tones are do not quite match.  I mean that a
pager designated for motorola two tone only will not do plectron.  The
frequency of the tones are different.  BUT some companies make pagers
that will do both.

I can e-mail you documentation on the tones used by motorola and
plectron tones with their assigned id.

You probably should check out a copy of the ARRL Antenna Book from
your local library.  In general, a yagi consists of a dipole cut to
the frequency of interest and tuned usually using a gamma match.  The
dipole (called the driven element) is then attached to a boom.  One
element - about 5% longer than the driven - is placed behind it.  This
element is called the reflector.  A series of elements are then placed
in front of the driven element - called directors - each progressively
about 5% shorter than the previous one.  The seperation between each
element can be played with to achieve the best pattern, but I believe
that usually is about 1/4 wavelength between the director and the
reflector.  I am not sure about the distances between the director and
the driven elements.

What you undoubtedly have here in these machines is at least 1
duff cell. This cell drops its bolts before the others and is in
effect reverse charged by the others as you continue to use the
radio. It acts like a resistor in series with the remaining good
cells. This means that any action that increases the current
drain will drop the volts and the set will cut out.

Get a voltmeter and measure eaxh cell UNDER LOAD. The dodgy cell
should be replaced. This is a NiCad problem. Reverse charging
soon ruins the cell involved of course.

Possibly, that would explain my radio turning off when scanning the higher
frequency bands or while attempting to program a frequency.

However, when I connect a regulated power supply directly to the main unit
(sans battery pack) it still won't turn on until it gets 10 Volts. This
part of the problem thus has nothing to do with the battery pack.

Part of this is true and part isn't. AOL only allows the use of its trial twic
e a year
on the same credit card. Your card number is kept online for 6 months, as I'm
sure
some of you know.

I don't have anything against the people who use AOL, there are lots of people
 on their
service that are very knowledgeable, but then there is a small percent that ha
ve no idea
what the internet is, how it operates or do they even give a shit. Although sm
all they
really are a bunch of assholes. They are not alone.

Earthlink=Nothing but a very large percent of spamming jerks.
GNN=Same shit!

Although AOL will correct a user or repremand them, earthlink and GNN don't do
 shit.

Any person that has been on the internet, WWW, newsgroups for one week and say
s he/she
doesn't know what a spam is has got to be stupid.

So after some idiot posts in 150 newsgroups about getting rich, come to my fre
e xxx webpage,
or what ever "I feel justified in sending him and his postmaster" a nice FAQ s

I'm considering the purchase of an AOR 8000 and have a few questions
related to my decision...

Where is the best place to make the purchase?  Javiation seems to have a
good reputation, although I'd prefer to find an outlet in the US.

Can I get a better price in the US?

If I just want to tune the HF bands looking around for interesting CW
signals, how does the AOR 8000 accomplish this?  Is there a VFO knob
that I can "spin around", or do I reduce the tuning step to minimum and
hold down the "up arrow"?

What is the minimum tuning step (1 KHz ?) and how do you fine-tune an
SSB of CW signal?

Thanks for your help.

If you are referring to the DS8000, it will "descramble" frequency inverters
very nicely. This is probably what is used on cheap phones, but I haven't
tried to decode them. I use it on the rare occasions when law enforcement
use cheap frequency inverters.

One problem with the system it that the PL tone the law enforcement uses
gets mixed to a very audible tone after the DS8000.


In case you don't know what frequency inversion is, they simply take the
audio band and reverse the spectrum. That is, low frequency is now high
frequency and vice versa. It is done with filters and mixers. The DS8000
give you 4 possible mixing frequencies. Even if you are off a bit in
frequency, the message gets through. It is like tuning a sideband radio.

Right, then go to either

2) www.crl.com/~vhealey/ar8000/         (can't remember which)

On one of these, it has a list of every Web page he has.  Just click on

The answers are yes and yes.  The reasons are many, but the advantages clearly
 outweigh the disadvantages.  It
is a do-all scanner, and it will take some time to figure out the unit.  It is
 easy to input frequencies,
however, and is completely computer controllable.  It is the ultimate handheld
 scanner.  If you are interested

I'm confused. The English Solid State Electronics Jim PSU-101 is
advertised at 60 bucks as a power supply/stand for the AR8000, which
powers the radio when the radio is switched on or charges its batteries
when the radio is switched off.  I assumed it was a quick charger, but,
no. It's just a power supply/stand. No quick charge. No automatic
termination upon complete recharge. So, excepting the construction of a
supporting stand, doesn't the little charger, Model AA8000UL, that comes
included with the purchase of an AR8000, essentially function the same
way? It, too, is labeled as a "power supply."

I ask this because it used to be these little chargers could indeed >only<
charge, yet when they first appeared about 20 years ago, they, too, were
generically labeled "power supply." Nonetheless one was never to use these
"power supplies" for anything but supplying power for recharging the
batteries of a turned off radio unless you wanted to risk damaging
something. That was then, this is now, some things change and some things
don't, so  I guess my real question is, if I don't really need a stand,
but just want to use house power when the unit's inside, I don't need to
scrape up another $60 to get the PSU-101; the included AA8000UL would be
indentical for the purposes of both charging the batteries and powering
the thing off the wall. Yes? Or no? Excuse the paranoia; I just don't want
to fry my new AR8000. Thanks, folks, for your kind indulgence.

Whilst this will seem to work, it does a couple of naty things -

1) You can overdrive the speaker on small radios far too easily. This
overdriving will damage the speaker and you will then have to suffer
the cost of a replacement. Reducing the resistor is going to make it
easier to over drive the speaker.

2) the designers of the circuits go to great pains to get the
component values correct. they have several parameters to look at. One
of them is "output impedance" Don't worry what that is or means other
to take note that changing the resistance alters the output impedance
of the discriminator stages and upsets the input impedance of the
audio amplifier. This in turn can cause reduced performance and audio
quality.

It will also invalidate any warrantee you may have on the radio.

Instead, use either a mobile radio "extension" speaker OR an outboard
amplifier.

When you're mobile what kind of antenna are you using?  I'm using the wire

They probably use the SAR freq in the marine band. I can't remember it
off hand but its listed in Haruteq. I think its 157.125? Check my page
under scanners and/or follow the link to Ron KATZ's page. He's probably
got it listed. Last time I listened to Halton police's marine unit on
that frequency talking to a Coast Guard helicopter. The HRPD had asked
for a helicopter to come down from trenton so help search for a kid who
had jumped into 16 mile creek while be chased by police. They figured he
had drowned (he didnt, turned himself in the next day!). Anyhow, the
marine cops were talking to the chopper on this marine frequency. Its
listed in all the scanner books as Coast Guard Search and Rescue.

I have them on my web page, I can't remember the frequency off
hand but you can find the Metro Police Marine frequency under

but I have to look and see if it is in a Marine section etc.

Have a look I'm sure you will find some other things of interest.

I don't have an explanation but I have something similar to add to this. Sever
al
years ago my wife got mad at me and threw one of our speakerphones in my
general direction (this is the only time she's ever done anything like
this, and I was being a horse's hind end).  Well, now when the phone's
speaker is ever turned
on it blares out a radio station.  I'm not sure what station it is because
I haven't ever listend to it long enough to find that out.  Needless to
say this has been a joke in our family ever since.

I live on a fairly major road, and we have traffic everything from semi's
to cars.  Occasionally, a CB'er will key up, and if my stereo is on,
I will hear him loud and clear in surround sound.  It scares the hell out of
me.  Seems that between the CB'er having an illegal amp, and my stero
having cheap filters, it just comes straight into the circuit.  My corded
phone used to do the same thing.

Ditto ... I live in an apartment, and I get the same thing. I think
power amps can cause this, however running at the legal 4

Because there are "So Many!" of them ... your best bet is
to start searching with your scanner, start at 820MHz and
go up to 900MHz. You'll be surprized.

On the other hand, if you need specific frequencies,  you
can check out your nearest Radio Shack, they carry some
interesting books.

I am in Ottawa, Ontario .. and here we have a book called
the Harteq scanner book which carries most Cell frequencies

I believe that it is generally the case that mobile units have
lower-powered transmissions and don't have the benefit of a more or less
ideal transmission site like a tower or hilltop. I can sometimes pick up
the CHP units if they are close by but often I just hear the dispatcher.

The CHP operates on a number of frequencies in the 42 mhz range. They use
a duplex operation with pairs of base and mobile frequencies. If you
don't have the mobile freq programmed, you won't hear the unit.

If you have some questions about frequencies in use in your area I will
look them up and mail them to you.

The deal is the dispatchers are on one freq amd the cars are on another. So,
if you want to hear both sides, you need to monitor both the dispatcher and
car freq. Since the cars are not repeated ( except with the mobile extenders)
you will need a good HIGH outside ant. to hear much of the cars. I know as I
used to live in CA. Also, in the big cities, the cars don't say much! It's not

like local police, at all. In the rural areas the cars will sometimes chat
with each other by transmitting on the dispatcher's freq.! That way, the
dispatcher doesn't hear them! These conversations can be kind of interesting,
at times. I don't know about S.F., but I used to get all the L.A. CHP
frequencies, dispatcher and car, from the Gene Hughes "Police Call Southern
California Edition" freq. guide at Ham Radio stores and scanner places. Really

excellent book, new edition every year. There must be something like it
for S.F.  Hope this helps....  Dave

-- Any amateur radio 6 meter yagi or quad would work. Also any outdoor TV
yagi should serve well, not only these freqs, but through much of the
spectrum scanners receive. You need to mount either so the elements are
vertical rather than horizontal for best results.

Anybody got a "master list?"

I just started working at a radio station (WOTS-AM 1220, that great
little 70's station!), and we're located right in the Old Town attraction
complex on the Hwy 192 strip in Kissimmee.  I'm looking for frequencies...
Disney, motels, attractions, security, and whatever else.  Lotsa handheld
radios in use here, so I'm sure there's more to be heard than what I've
found so far.

Okay...since I'm asking for frequencies, I'll do my part and give some in
return.  Our Marti (remote pickup) frequencies are 161.700 and 161.730.
Tune in on Saturday nights and you'll hear the live feed of our "Saturday
Night Cruise" that we do live from Old Town!

        Check out http://www.li.net/~j4dice/travfreq.html
This is the best source for Disneyland and Disneyworld frequencies
I have EVER seen. The disneyworld section was written by an ex-
Disney employee, and is VERY impressive!

Hope that helps!

Subject: Do trees improve reception?
Date: Sun, 23 Jun 1996 11:04:50 -0700
Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

An intersting thing happened yesterday.

        I like to listen to the Space shuttle when it is on a mission, so here in
San Jose, I listen to it on 145.585 Mhz.   I usually have very good reception
and
a small amount of noise.   I have listen to all previous missions with no prob
lems
at all, until now....

        Yesterday, I had to remove a tree that was growing just outside of my window.
I decided to cut the tree down because it was growing way too close to the hou
se and
was starting to damage the roof. Well, after a hard days work with a chain saw
, I
decided that I would come in and listen to see what is going on with the shutt
le.  I
turned on my scanner, and nothing..... This was a big surprise since I have ne
ver had any
problem picking up this frequency any time that the shuttle was up.  (The repe
ater
is not to far from here....)

        Does anyone know if the tree may have somehow made it easier for me to pick u
p weaker
frequencies??   This is a bizarre question, but I am curious if any one could
tell me why
my reception diminished after cutting it down???  The tree was about 15-18 fre
e tall, it did
make contact with the storm gutters on the house and was fairly close to a sma
ll antenna I am
using.  I am not sure yet but it seems if other stations have diminished recep
tion too.

        Any help or comments would be appreciated.


                        Thanks

As a matter of fact, as far as UHF reception goes, trees actually hinder
reception.

 Trees do improve reception - Especially if you can get a 20 foot
section of two inch diameter ally tubing out the top of the tree,
with a nice aerial on top that!

(Or better still a rotator with a nest of  Yagis on top !!! Sexy!)

I think the old Regency HX1500 handheld scanner, actually made by
Azden, had soft banks.  You chose the starting and ending
channels to define a bank.

           100 Channels.
           AM, NFM & WFM. Increment steps 5, 10, 12.5, 25, 50 & 100KHz

MVT-7100   500KHz - 1650MHz
           1000 Channels
           AM, NFM, WFM, LSB & USB.
           Various Increment Steps down to 1KHz (50Hz on SSB).
           A few cosmetic improvemnets inc Backlit Keypad.

MVT-7200   Improved MVT-7100 in some areas with tighter SSB performance,
           internal ferrite bar anttena for MW. Backlight now stays on "all
           the time" if you wish. Grey rather than Black finish.


Other (earlier) sets included the MVT-3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 & 8000 for

        The causes of sporadic-E are still subject to debate, but there
is a difference between skip caused by ionization of the atmosphere and
that caused by weather conditions.  Confusion arises because the atmosphere
itself plays a role in both types of skip.

        The skip that develops due to stable high pressure is a form of
tropospheric ducting, often referred to as "inversion" by hams and
meteorologists.  Ionization is not involved.  The signal is carried in
an atmospheric waveguide formed between layers of air that have differing
characteristics of temperature and relative humidity.  This type of
propagation is common in coastal and Great Lakes areas.

        In fact, I heard Canadian traffic from across Lake Ontario this past
Sunday evening while carrying my portable scanner up my driveway!  Normally,
reception requires good conditions, low ambient RF, and the use of my rooftop
antenna.

Avoid the NoTenna...it's basically worthless as far as I can tell.
Certainly did not do a thing for my reception.

If you're looking for indoor, just get a telescoping whip from Radio
Shack...you can get this on a suction cup mount and stick it on the inside
of a window and get decent reception I've found.

Don't know about the other models.

I have the PRO-2026 scanner and use the Grove No-tenna.
I can recieve AM & FM,  across the whole range of the scanner very well.
The reception is almost as good as any of the several roof/mag mount
antennas I tried.
Considering it can't be seen from the outside AT ALL,  I consider it
superior.
Thieves don't look at my car for an antenna, and I can cruise around and
no one knows I'm listening.

PS . No short piece of wire can pick up the CHP like my no-tenna can!

Hi,
    A friend of mine did the same thing.....He got a container of
alcohol, not the rubbing kind, and dumped the  pager in it....the
alcohol displaces the water, then evaporates, and all is well.

You could call your pager co. and verify this procedure....but it
works.

Like - er - I heard of someone trying to dry a wet hampster in a
microwave!.....

It is off subject but what the hell - this next bit IS true..

My great grandmother lived in a very old house. The oven was built
into the fire place. When she needed to cook, she shut the oven door
and lit the fire. (As a rule the oven door was always left open.)

Her cat used to jump in at night and sleep in the oven (Ugh!)

Anyway, one day Great Grandma got up early one day, shut the door and
light the fire. She went to do the shopping. When she got home there
was a smell of cooking in the house - she forgot check that the oven
was empty and had cooked the poor moggy!!!!

True - honest!

  If you don't need the computer interface and the alpha-numeric
display, you should consider the Yupiteru MVT-7100 or MVT-7200.
  Most people who have compared them side-by-side consider the
MVT-7100 to be a slightly better pure "radio" than the AR8000, albeit
without all the bells-and-whistles.
  The 7100 is available from Canada and Europe.  The new 7200 is not
available in Europe... we'll have to see where it will be
available from.

  Either of them is MUCH better than either of their somewhat
comparable predecessors, the R-1 and the AR1000/AR1500.

  Yes there is a mod for this. Find the ceramic resonator
(a little blue chip) on the main board behind the front
panel and replace it with a 3-4 mhz. crystal. The original
resonator is about 1.7 mhz. so by replacing it with a 3.4
mhz. resonator you will double the speed. I replaced mine
with a 5 mhz. but that has proven to be a little too fast
for scanning some freqs. (it will scan so fast it wont stop
on a active freq.) So I would recomend a 3.4 mhz. or so.
You can special order the crystal from R.S.

Depends if your talking nominal or max. For the LTI 20/20 it's supposed
to be used under 1000 ft but can measure out to 2000. The Kustom Signals
Pro Laser II is probably farther. Theres also the LTI Marksman which just
a modified 20/20. Both LTI guns are pretty miserable devices but the
ProLaser is pretty damn good.

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

Hi to all,   I'm looking for any mods for the Uniden / Bearcat 8500XLT scanner

(800-900MHz etc).  The Uniden 8500XLT seems to be a real close cousin to the B
earcat
9000XLT. In fact it looks exactly the same. The only difference is the antenua
tor and
another scan feature (so I'm told).

Thanks, Mark

Put in all the frequencies in your particular trunked system and hope for
the best. You'll probably have to check each day for the "data" channel
and lock that out. You'll have to do that each day, as it's different each
day. I HATE trunked systems.

Another suggestion regarding trunked systems:
Some scanners now include a "not data"  button.  By pushing this key you
make the scanner automatically skip over any Data or control freqs.

That way you just program all the freqs in, and don't worry about changing
the lockut every day.

In addition, Bill Cheek has a modification in his book #3 to add this
feature to scanners, like the pro200x and pro2035, that already have a
Sound Squelch function.

- WELL I HAVE FOUND THAT FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH 800MHZ TRUNKING IT IS
BEST TO HAVE ALL THE DIFFERN'T CHANNELS PROGRAMED IN AND THEN DON'T USE
ANY DELAY SETTINGS ON ANY ONE OF THE CHANNELS.  ALSO DON'T USE A PRIORITY

Good advice.  I have the SE regional directory from Percon.  It is expensive!
 The best value is the Percon
Spectrum.  It does searches for the entire country and gives you an 80 column

Besides, most of the Interstates and the Turnpike are now up to 70
mph, except in town and in construction zones.  I know the FHP has the
construction zones pretty well patrolled so they can pinch speeders
who crash and block traffic for the rest of us.

There are now 25 channels. The old 1 - 10 have been renumbered 16 - 25.
The actual frequencies have been posted already in this newsgroup, so I
won't take up bandwidth.

I thought police call didn't list phone frequencies.  In mine the only
blurb they make is to list that the freqs 824-849 and 869-894 are deleted
from scanners sold in the US.  They don't say a peep as to what these
frequencies are used for.  Nor do they mention the cordless freqs
anywhere.  Mine is the latest one, 1996.

Radio Shack sells the manual and the users guide at 800-442-2425.  About

Due to the recent interest here in the PRO-2022, I wrote up
the modifications and scheduled them to appear in

I got Bill Cheek's SCA kit, and it works great!  The one modification I

I can tune it a bit more accurately.  Don't forget to try it on the TV

In German, the word means "jewelry".

In Yiddish, it means "penis" (akin to the English-language expression
"the family jewels"). By extension, someone of whom you disapprove is
referred to as a shmuck. (The word can be spelled with or without the
"c" if used in the Yiddish sense, depending on whose system of trans-
literation you use. Leo Rosten advocated dropping redundant C's from
Yiddish words to avoid the possibility of its being pronounced as if
spelled "skmuck" (like "school", which in Yiddish is pronounced [and
spelled] shul...))

Most certainly!  Some dealers even do the jack mod for free when you
buy an 8000.  Some will make you a better deal if you buy the scout

I have the Spring 1995 CD.  It will not print the frequency when you do a
print out in DOS mode.  I sent mail to the company president about the
problem and he basically told me to do it from Windows.  Anyone with ANY
experience with computers knows a DOS dump to the printer is FASTER than
bitmap printing from windows.  He completely side stepped the problem and
just basically gave no help.

After a long time there was some Sporadic E reception today herein the

quite some stations from the Ukraine on the East-European FM Broadcast

Most interesting was Ukraine TV on channel R1 ( audio 56.25 MHZ; while
very strong TV signals were visible; logo upper left YT2 )
The Ukraine TV station was mixing with 2 other TV stations:
one with a logo like the cipher 2 ( upper left), the other was a
station with the logo (upper right) DPT 1 ( the 1 posed under the P).
Does any body have an idea which (eastern Europe) stations these are?

Another question : on audio TV channel E2 ( freq: 53.75 MHZ) around
09.55-09.59 ( 23 june) UTC I heard an Arabic station, fading in during
about 4 minutes: Arabic songs, female announcement.....Arabiyah.....
Anybodey an idea?

Now, around 13.15 UTC TVE Spain has TV signals on chE2 and strong
audio on 53.75 MHZ.

Wow--that's a tough one. I like listening to railroad transmissions as

If you have some particular area of interest perhaps I can look up some

They are just the same. I found just one battery pack limiting so bought
two spare ones and try to keep one in the car charged up all the time.

>Also, can someone with one of these tell me whether the tuning step sizes

>are always automatic or can be automatic or selected.

The 3000XLT selects the tuning/increment step it thinks should be used for
the frequency entered although this can be changed if you wish to any one
of the other available steps so Yes it is Automatic but also selectable if
its not what you want.

The same apples to the Mode - can be changed at anytime. There is
undocumented feature that allows you to turn this feature off - in other
words you are unable to change mode from the default setting.

If you haven't been in contact all ready I'd reccomend Javiation as a
source for the UBC varient. Very helpful, friendly and I've received great
service.

The WX key for quick NOAA access is the "Turbo" key on the UBC varient.

"Turbo" on the BC-3000XLT being accessed by Shift + ?? (Can't just recall)
with that key combination doing nothing on the UBC.

The USA version has a WX key which searches through the NOAA weather
radio frequencies.  I don't know what the non-USA versions have
instead of the WX key.

Its usually the changeover switch inside the adaptor socket on the
battery  thats not closing properly, a squirt of contact cleaner may
clear the fault, check the solder joints there as well.
one of my batteries caused exactly the same fault as you have.

The ones with decent security (i.e. digital or spread spectrum) are going
to start in the $200-250 and up price range.  The ones with frequency
inversion scrambling, you might find in your price range.  Frequency
inversion can be descrambled with a fairly simple device.   But I feel it
will help quite a lot because most scanner users will just pick an easier
target to listen in on, there's no shortage of unscrambled phones.

All cordless phones sold today are quite good in protecting you from

CHRIS,
 I'd say: go for it.  I've seen a few for sale in this
newsgroup, and with some extras for the "new" price.

Areas to check specific to ar8000:

http://www.demon.co.uk./aor/javiation
http://www.crl.com/~vhealey/ar8000.homepage.html
http://www.mich.comm/~eddy/works/

I used a Bearcat200xlt several years as my first scanner.
Out of the box, I was impressed at its flexibility &
complexity, but because of that, I wasn't exactly using
it to its potential on the way home from UPS pickup.  On the
other hand, the former is its strength.  There is nothing i
can conceive of that this radio can't do with the right
settings.  I'm just now getting into using Scancat software
to run it (however it's not often i'm willing to leave this
radio at home connected to the computer, so  i'm soon going to
have it running off of my HP200 palmtop in the car using car's
antenna).

Be aware, it's computer controllable, which the others are
not.  However on the downside, it's not built like a tank like
the bearcats were.  The large lcddisplay on my unit came with
intermittent problems with the last 3 characters.  The case
isn't as solid-feeling as a bearcat or Yupiteru(which is better
at shortwave, i hear).

The translucent(backlit) keys' lettering ON the keys will
rub off some SOON much like bearcat keys did only after years
of no case in/out  of my pocket.  You'll avoid this if you buy
the case to protect the unit($25).  Also, the Scout(r) ($400
@Dayton) from Optoelectronics works well with the unit, almost
instantly tuning the radio to the "hit" (requires adapter cable
sold separately for $20-30; think Scancat also sells this for
$12-15).

or at least put some clear oil-change-style plastic to protect
the display from scratches.

I've fallen in love with the AR-8000 from the literature I've seen so far
on the web. My one qualm is that most of said literature was made
available by those trying to sell this unit. :) Can anyone tell me if the
$600 street price I've been seeing is worth what you get? I'd also be
interested in any recent print media reviews.

Thanks for any info!

        Well, you could use about any shortwave rcvr that will do
sideband.  I personally have two that will work.  One is a Radio Shack
DX440, the better one is their relatively new DX394.  With the
DX394 I can hear comms on 11175 all the way from Hickam field in
Hawaii to Acension Island and about everything inbetween.  A lot of
people get bent out of shape about Radio Shack stuff, but with the
DX394 I am impressed.  For the money, it (mine, at least) is not
a bad receiver.

        Secret to good reception:  a GOOD antenna.  What works for
ME?  I have a long piece of wire (it is the stranded antenna wire that
Radio Shack sells, but nealry any sort of wire will work.  I usually
suggest stranded because it tends to last longer with more flexibility
before breaking) that is stapled the length of the inside of my attic.
That's probably a good 40 to 50 feet.  I tap off that with a hunk of
coax (using the center conductor) and take that down to the radio.
The braid of the coax gets grounded down on the radio end.  Not
fancy, but seems quite effective.  An *outside* antenna would
be even better, but I rent - which makes that a bit of a problem.
Also gotta remember to disconnect before thunderstorms or your radio
can get reduced to molten crud......

        BTW, there are LOTs of other frequencies in the HF bands that
military uses.  If you subtract out spectrum areas that are allocated
to other services, you are left with a lot of RF spectrum, and in those
spaces you could find military stuff quite easily.

        I have also noted that they may sometimes even dip into a
shortwave broadcast band.....which means that it isn't impossible
to find them just about anywhere.

        If you have a reciever that will do the AM broadcast band
(the US version of it, that is) and can tune BETWEEN the FCC allocated
"channels" you can find some unusual signals lurking there now and then.

        But if you want guaranteed listening, 11175 is a good bet.
The comms are USB, BTW.  (Upper Sideband, for the non-radio types)
I won't say that you'll necessarily hear anything real "juicy" there.
Most of it seems to be fairly routine stuff, and sent in the "clear",
unencoded and unencrypted.  You will, though, hear some comms get
"handed off" to other HF frequencies.  Add those to your occasional
"listen list" and you can start getting some pretty interesting stuff.
You'll also hear references to UHF frequencies to be used closer
in to specific bases.  If you happen to live close to that base,
and own a scanner that will do the 225 to 430 MHz range, sometimes
those frequencies will also be "interesting".

I recently heard some SS transmissions in NYC on the regular Baker freq.,
except he indicated he was calling in on "Bravo". This is the first time
I've heard the Bravo designation. Could it be a sort of ch. 2 of Baker?
Incidently, the transmission was from the "Patriot" (Dole) CP.

I will second that motion.  I had not considered "variable" bank size but I ha
ve long
wished that my 200+ channel scanners were divided up into banks of ten channel
s each.  I
will have to visit the web site and if they have feed back let them know that
I like the
idea also.  Like you I also have my PRO-43 / PRO-2021 / BC-200 / BC-760 arrang
ed such
that I can turn service, department or geographic area on or off with the push
 of a
button.  I would also keep duplicate frequencies in multiple banks but made in
to
different groups.  If I had smaller or variable bank size I would make use of
400 - 500
channels. I could keep banks programmed for areas that I travel to only a few
times a
year and that type of thing.

And while we are wishing how about BC-300/PRO-43 class scanner with a PL decod
er built
in that would let you assign PL tones per channel.  And either slide off or tw
ist off
battery packs (like the BC-200) or at least charger contacts brought out the b
ottom of
the radio to make with a desk top / mobile drop in charger.  I have a friend w
ho works
in a machine shop and I have thought about getting him to make me an adaptor o
ut of
plexiglas that would let me use my Icom 3AT batteries on the BC-200.  Just a t
hought.

Hmmm....I do that on a bike.  FDNY knows me out here already.  Mostly,
they don't mind as long as I stay out of the way and send them some

Totally a piece of junk!!   It does not come with any radar detector
unless you buy that option at a cost of about $300.00.  Yes $300.00.
And the scanner is the biggest and ugliest thing I have ever seen.
The audio is the worst in the world too.  It has about 500 "birdies"
you must lock out every time you turn it on because it doesn't
remember anything.

I have one, broken now because I plugged it into a wall wart that had
the wrong polarity and the darn thing burned up.  They could have put
a 2 cent diode in the thing but then reverse polarity would not harm
it.

I would buy the Bearcat BCT 7 Beartracker if you want preprogramed
frequencies.  This is an exceptionally well built scanner and it does
800 too.

My 2 cents.

Wait a couple of years, if the French CB is on 27 MHZ, you'll be able
to monitor it in the U.S. You'll probably be able to monitor Republic
of South Africa Police up in the 40 to 50 MHZ. range and all kinds of
other stuff out of  other continents up to about 50 mhz on your
scanner. It was all there on my old Pro 2004 and a R.S. discone in the

Typically the trade show is on Thursday and Friday with the public air
show on Saturday and Sunday. (Which would mean the trade show starts on
the 17th)  I would assume this to be the case with this year's show
although I have not personally checked it out.

What I cannot figure out is: if a small hand held cell phone can decode the
signal, why can the decoder/ it's programme etc be incorporated ina
scanner?

The UK Sunday Times, a few months ago reported that someone had given them
a demo, in the 'papers offices, of a machine that was quite capable of
eavesdropping on digital cellular phones. Apparently, you punch in the
cellular phones' no and bingo!! you get to monitor calls to and from that
phone if you are in the same cell.

If that can be done on a cell phone, surely cordless are not safe??

My suggestion to RCMA and any others who might listen, is to scrap the

Imagine an RCMA web site that was password protected.  No pay...no
password.  Easy to administer...easy to update...and VERY inexpensive to
maintain.

One of the reasons the scanning hobby is suffering economically, is that
many of the hobbyists are so hooked on computers and the Net.  Makes sense
to me!

I have designed a switching scheme that allows the user to select

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.

I finally took the plunge and purchased the AR8000. I was going to get one
from EEB but went with Javiation, after paying Duty I ended up $627 or so
lighter. There "free" offer of a socket for use with the Scout and a carry
case seemed worth it. I also paid $10 for the crytsal swap to stop the
wandering birdies that was talked about not so long ago.

There is a Rotary which you can just "spin round" to tune up or down
through the bands and you can select just about any increment step you
might want.

You get 30Mhz steps (actually more like 25Mhz) on most scanners sold in

That is a pretty good start.  The name comes from the actual construction:
a disk on top of a cone.  Both the disk and cone are made of small rods or
wires radiating from a common point, but if you imagine the space between
the radial wires filled in you would have a disk sitting on top of your
antenna tower, with a cone making a skirt below it.  They are very popular
scanner antennas because they have a very broad bandwidth, thus covering
a large part of the spectrum of interest to scanners.

Used very little, in very good shape.
Included are :

2) pouch
3) wire antenna on a reel
4) external antenna adapter
5) manual

Accesories are original Sony that came with the unit.
Asking $ 195/offer.
Looking for something half the size or smaller (like Sony SW1)
or a small scanner - need smaller unit for travel.

That is the min. purchase from the two above stated sources.

The main problem with an external amp would be that the phone operates in
full duplex.  It could be done from a technical point of view but not
easily.

The legal problem of course is that it your are prohibited from doing
that under FCC rules.  And there is good reason for it.  If you start
pumping 10 or 100 times the power out of your cordless phone system, you
will generate interference to other users of those frequencies.  You can
be almost sure of that - unless you live in the sticks and there is no
civilization around you for many miles.

Since the amplifier option would probably be kind of expensive (as well
as illegal) - I would just suggest you get a better phone that uses newer
technology.  My Escort Courier 9600 works several hundred feet from my
house.  If you need to have phone further away than that, consider a cell
phone.

When someone finds the perfect earphone, let me know. I've given up on
them because of poor quality sound especially in noisy environments. I
almost always rely on RS headphones (#20-210A) for my scanner. They are
light, put no pressure on my ears, have air cushions for comfort and also
allow ambient sound in. Above all, with a speaker on each ear, provide
intelligible sound instead of an overloaded, tinny single-earred speaker.
I know that headphones might draw attention if that's an issue, but I keep
my scanner out of view and appear to be listening to a walkman.

You don't get enough real booms, I guess.  Even my dogs sleep through
them and these are the dogs who awaken at the sound of a fire truck
siren three miles away.

D>      First instinct - look up.  Nothing.

Don't look up, look over.  By the time the airplane has dragged the
shock cone over you, it's nowhere near overhead.

For example, the Shuttle is something like thirty or forty degrees
from overhead when the boom hits the ground.  You can work it out for
a range of Mach numbers.

Of course, since I know where the supersonic corridors here are, I
know where to look.  The Shuttle flight path is pretty predictable,
too.

They might not, if it's military.

Well, you can get some very funny effects if there are odd atmospheric
layers because the shocks get reflected and piped away from the
expected footprint.  You might also have heard an overenthusiastic ANG
pilot who got a little fast and didn't mention it to the boom control
officer.

Best way to find out if it was the ANG is to complain, but you might
get someone in a lot of trouble.  You'll have to decide how much you
really want to know; is it worth someone's career for you to satisfy
your curiosity?

Anyway, why would anyone "cover up" a sonic boom?  Any supersonic
plane can make one and doing so doesn't exactly indicate a plot or
secret plane or anything.  You already know you've got aircraft
capable of creating them in the area.

You could use a RF radiation field servey meter that would give you mw/cmsq
The probes used for such meters are so broad banded that you would
have a difficult time determining which frequencies you are measuring.

The only way to get a good feel for the spectrum is with a spectrum analyzer.
You can connect an amplifier to your Yagi if the signals are low level.
You could build a spectrum analizer that would connect up to an o-scope but I
have never seen one that would extend above 1.2 without down conversion.

You would be much better off with a portable spectrum analyzer tektronics make
s
a model 492P which retailed for ~ $12K US.  Try a rental place or maybe Tucker

will rent/lease one for your measurements.  They are on the WWW I don't have
the address handy. Use a search engine.

You would then need to calculate the free space attenuation of the signal leve
l
you recieved and you could determine the approx tx output if you know the
distance from the emitter.

Go to Radio Shack with the part # of your radio (20-XXX or whatever).
Have the RS guy/gal call national parts and order the "electro
luminescent" for it.  They may say they need all the individual part #s,
etc., but they don't...my RS has ordered several for me that way. Last one
I bought was about $12 if my memory is accurate. The EL is a light green
panel that fits behind the LCD screen.

Once you get the electro luminescent, you will need to take the front
panel off and take a bunch of stuff loose.  I recommend you get the repair
manual (about $10, but well worth it) at the same time you get the electro
luminescent.  Another handy item would be one of Bill Cheek's first 2
scanner mod books.  He shows/tells how to take the thing apart.  It
requires some soldering and substantial disassembly, so if you are not
sure of your skills, have a friend do it.  It really isn't too bad if you
take your time and DON'T PRY OR FORCE any parts on the radio! If you have
problems, send an e-mail to me and I will try to help.

If you took it to RS repair, they would charge you for the EL and about
$50 for labor, so even if you buy both books and the EL, you will probably
come out ahead.

Your lucky to even see the UPS person.  They usually deliver while I'm

If they do they don't try very hard.

Back in the days when CBs were all the rage,  there was a CBer that
lived across the street from the church I attended.  Rumor has it that
he was pushing about a 1000 watts.  Anyway, whenever he transmitted he
could clearly be heard over the church PA system.

I have also recently heard a CB over my home stereo.   It did not last
very long and I have not heard it since.  I figure it must have been a
mobile.

I assume you mean the 2042?  One thing to check on: I learned the hard way
with the otherwise fine 2006 I had. It went to 1300Mhz too, but buried in the
owner's manual was the specification that the sensitivity from 1000 Mhz to
1300 Mhz was very poor compared to the sensitivity up to 1000Mhz.

You might want to check this on the 2042, since the catalog says nothing on
sensitivity at all. You seem to be specifically interested in the 1300 Mhz
aspect, if not, then this may not matter to you. I wanted to listen to the
1296 FM Ham band with my 2006, so I was very dissapointed.

Hope this helps... Dave in Phoenix

CRB Research books, 1-800-656-0056, has a 800 Mhz converter for about
$100. Both handheld and base models. It goes inbetween the antenna and
antenna jack. I runs off 9v dc & ac. When switched on, it converts the
800 Mhz band down to the 400 Mhz band. CRB has other neat stuff too.
Hope this is usefull.

My understanding is the Panasonic phones are simple NFM, not spread

is the best. [I don't remember the number.] It costs around $170
at Costco. I don't think the Vtech phones are spread spectrum anymore. THe
model they sell with "ADL" in it is not spread spectrum. Hope that
helps.

In that case I have a bridge you may be interested in buying...

The Scout detects the carrier, not the modulation method and therefore
works equally well on FM and AM.

Where you MAY have a problem is in the fact that it sends a command to
the AR8000 to set its mode to FM. I think it only does that the first
time it sends a freq to the AR8000 though and that it is possible to
simply "force" the AR8000 into AM mode anyway.

In any event, I have used a Scout at airshows with great success.

If I might, a moment to introduce ourselves. Breaking News Network is a
NYC area alpha-paging media source. We notify our customers instantly of
working fires, multiple alarm fires, serious MVA's, haz-mat jobs,
noteworthy police incidents including but not limited to riots, police
involved shootings and unfortunately when police officers are shot. High
speed chases, major crimes and upon resolution, the apprehension.

Our customers are television outlets, all-news radio stations, print
media, fire buffs, fire photographers, fire marshalls, firefighters.
Police officers, medics and the like.

We cover from upper Virginia, Maryland, DC, Delaware, Eastern Penna, all
of New Jersey, NYC, and the surrounding metro area counties and lower CT.
To do this involves over a 100 dedicated reporters on our part, as one
would assume covering an area with 1/6 the US population. From Hartford
south through FDNY, into Newark NJ, Camden NJ, Phila PA, Wilmington DEL,
Baltimore, Wash DC, the amount of fire is at times scary. A typical FDNY
day consists of approx 10-15 all hands fires and 1-2 multiple alarms. We
cover it 24/7.

We also exchange greater alarm fires and newsworthy incidents with
notification systems throughout the United States. For example, in the
past three days Wed 6/26- Fri 6/28, we paged and sent to our reciprocal
groups almost 50 incidents, ranging from a riot in Harlem, Manhattan; a
5th alarm fire in Manhattan, a 3rd alarm fire destroying a church in
Staten Island, a 4th alarm fire in an apt bldg in Camden NJ, a 4th alarm
fire in Long Island that destroyed a paper goods warehouse and in an
effort to be mid-west friendly (pun) a general alarm fire in Western NJ
that destroyed a chicken/egg producing facility, killing 380,000+
chickens.

As well as we cover this vast area, it is our goal to not miss a single
newsworty incident. And if that means adding people to overlap our
existing coverage, we will do so. If any readers of this list find the
idea of listening to radio transmissions and alpha-paging compatible,
either e-mail above address or call our toll-free phone [phone]
Monday thru Saturday 11AM-6PM. In exchange you would receive a free
Motorola advisor alpha pager and some other nice benefits.

Thank you for your patience in reading this, and hope to hear from
interested parties.

Additionally, if you are in a distant city, we can make arrangements to
assist you in getting our information, or perhaps in establishing a
system in your locale. The call is free, the advice free.

I see very little talk about it.

I have a BC3000XLT, and love it.  But would like a scanner that can
hook up to my computer (not rich enough to afford the AR 8000)

Any opinions are appreciated!

If you have an existing cell phone service, you could clone the old one to
to be the same as your current, active phone.  Then it can be used as a back
up or alternate.  The only restriction is to not have both turned on at the
same time.

        If you were that cop would you want some unknown person
watching you & "stalking" you? If I were that cop I'd be asking you a few
questions too, and I'd feel extremely unsafe everytime I got out of
my patrol car on a traffic stop, not because I think you're going
to video tape me and turn it in to Inside Edition, but because I'd
wonder if you were gonna wait till I get out on a traffic stop to run
me down or shoot at me.
        Listening is one thing, but as a SCANNER LOVING AMERICAN, I
think it is people who do things like what you're describing that
cause agencies to feel that they have a need (there is NOT really any
need) to switch their communications to encryption or trunking.
        Please, if you want to listen, listen. Have fun with it, but
don't stalk them! If you are that interested in seeing their every
move, let the officer show you what he does in a shift (I guarentee
you from experience that 99% of them would LOVE to have the
opportunity to show you what they REALLY do, not what Rodney King's
lawyer or Dan Rather want you to believe they spend their time doing)
simply call the agency and tell them you'd like to do a ride along.
All but one of the 15+ law enforcement agencies will be happy to take
you with them! The strictest rules they have for their ride along
prgrams here is that they ask that you NOT be a convicted felon!
Try it! But please, let the officer know that he doesn't have to
worry about you killing him, and can focus on the guy with the gun
in the car that he has stopped!
        Also, when you do things like this, remember that that officer
informs his Sgt that people are stalking him with scanners. The Sgt
mentions it to the Lt in the next supervisors meeting. The Lt mentions
it to the chief in passing. The chief then goes to the city council
or board of supervisors asking for money... Guess what for! A new
800 Mhz Astro-Digital Trunked Radio System. Now every scanner
enthusiast in your area will know who to thank when their department
goes trunked and they can't even listen from home (despite the fact
that they stayed out of the way and didn't go on SCANNER PATROL or
stalk law enforcement officers).

Dan
KC7ANQ

P.S. No I'm not a cop, I simply have an open mind and am willing to
see the law enforcement officers side of this stuff.

Here's the text from the mod for cellular restoration:

From Popular Communications, October 1990, pages 18, 20-21:

    "The PRO-2006 possesses latent capability to tune the frequencies
    "wired out" at the factory.  To regain continuous coverage from
    760 MHz through 1300 MHz, all you have to do is unplug the set from
    the powerline, then:

    1. Remove the plasic top cover from the radio.
    2. Look behind the numeral "3" key, inside the front panel, and you
       will see two diodes and blank spots for two more.  Locate D-502;
       the lower of the two visible diodes.
    3. Snip the exposed, upper leg of D-502; push the two cut ends
       slightly apart.
    4. Button the case back up and be content with the continuous
       frequency coverage of 25 MHx-520 MHz and 760 MHz-1300 MHz.

    Next, press the STEP key three times while in any SEARCH mode,
    you will see, successively on the LCD Display, the step or increment
    indications of "5" kHz," "12.5 kHz" and then "50 kHz."  Press the
    STEP key a dozen times or a hundred, and only the above three
    increments will be displayed.

    Now , if you have restored the full frequecy capabilites in your
    PRO-2004, 2005, or 2006, and first press the RESET key, then just
    as soon as a SEARCH enters the frequency ranges of 825-845 MHz
    and/or 870-890 MHz, you will see a 4th increment displayed:
    "30 kHz"! It's OK! This is appropriate for the spacing in those
    bands.
Regards!

Bob

Keep your BC3000XLT.  The AR 2700 is o.k., but being a previous owner of
an AR 8000, I would give up the computer control and go back to a
BC3000XLT any time!
