Yep, pretty easy but just be careful when you take the back cover off that
you don't loose the small spring that lives with the small bottom plate
retention clip. If you are not aware its there its easy to loose...goes

I recently brought an AR 1500 scanner at the local flea markets.  It
came without manuals or batteries. I have obtained a battery pack and
it seems to be scanning the channels already  programmed into it okay.
I need to put other channels into it , so any info about it would be
much appreciated.

I'm not sure, I thought it also included digital data.  BUT I COULD BE
WRONG.

BTW you will not get far trying to decode RTTY, FAX, and ACARS.

It just don't work that way!!!

But you should be smart enough :') to be able to figure it out for

Actually, I think he is refering to the new Pro 26 that goes to 1.6 gig.
I don't know if RS has ever re-used an old model number for such a
different product but they have now. I'm not sure if Uniden makes the new
26.

BTW: The Pro 26 is available in the UK with no cell block. There are a
few places that sells replacement CPU's for the new 26 that allows for
full coverage with no cell block. If unsoldering a CPU bothers you then
you can buy a replacement board with the CPU already installed.

Does anyone really own a G/WIZ Board?  All this talk and I'm yet to
see one or find anyone who has one.  The above guys ALSO fail to

I sure hope no one is sending money for something that does not appear

to exist.

Maybe if I send my money first I'll at least get a email response.

Its now been over 5 months of waiting and I still don't have one.

The Radio Shack PRO-26 is manufactured by Uniden.  But it is
a very different radio than the Uniden BC3000XLT in features,
frequency coverage, circuitry, and performance.

From my "Buying a Used Scanner FAQ:"

                [ ... ]

BC3000XLT (Uniden): 1995  vintage.   Excellent  400  channel
portable  with  20  banks.   Up conversion.  Very fast scan,
search, and intelligent Auto Store.  Mode,  attenuator,  and
delay   settings   programmable   for   each   channel.   50
frequencies can be locked out during search.  Larger speaker
than PRO-26 produces better, crisper audio.  See "The Uniden
Bearcat BC3000XLT," by  Bob  Parnass,  AJ9S,  in  Monitoring
Times,   April   1995   and  "The  Radio  Shack  PRO-26  vs.
Uniden/Bearcat  BC3000XLT,"  by  Bob   Parnass,   AJ9S,   in
Monitoring Times, August 1995.

                [ ... ]

PRO-26: 1985 vintage.  Very good portable made by for  Radio
Shack by Uniden.  200 channels, very fast scan/search.  Good
display.  Covers all TV channels, but spectrum  adjacent  to
cellular  phone  band  is censored which prevents monitoring
parts  of  some  trunked  systems  (e.g.,  IL  State  Police
district  4).   Up  to  50 frequencies can be skipped during
search.  Limited  image  rejection  causes  929  MHz  paging
interference in 170 MHz range.  IFs are 380.7/254.4, 58.075,
and 5.5/0.455 MHz.  Audio suffers from small  speaker.   See
"The  Radio  Shack  PRO-26 vs. Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT," by
Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, August 1995.

While driving through the Bay Area, I listen to Metro Traffic on
450.0625.  they serve all the local broadcasters around here.  You only
get pertinent traffic info and they do all the monitoring for you.
They're pretty on top of it.

If you want a great reference for local government radio frequencies
in this area get yourself a copy of "Government Radio Systems" by Bob
Kelty.  He is the frequency god and writes the book for the agencies
themselves to use as reference.

BCT-7 is probably the best mobile scanner on the market for someone who
travels from state to state a lot.  I have the local frequencies
programmed into the PRIVATE section, and use the state to state feature
when I travel.  The alert function only works when troopers use their
handhelds to key their mobile radios (mobile extenders).  In places like
SC, the troopers are on 800 mhz, and therefore the alerts are useless.
Otherwise, the unit is a gem.  It has a lockout for data transmissions,
etc, etc.
For antennas, multiple options.  I use the secondary antenna that used
to be used with my factory radio for "multipath".  You can also get
splitters to use your car radio antenna with the unit.  Those are
available from Grove Enterprises.  I believe that unit came with an
antenna with coax and suction cups for the windshield.  Not a "stealth"
installation.  I would recommend the converter or a dedicated scanner
antenna.

That depends on where in the country you are.  In California, where

"Sundance".

BCT-7 is really a nice little unit. I travel a lot so it saves me a lot of
research and programming time. Especially useful is the bank search
function. Caught in a traffic jam on the interstate, I just scanned the CB
channels and the trucker traffic had the problem pegged before the HP knew
about it. So I took the nearest exit and saved myself 45 minutes.
I'd recmmend this unit anytime.

I think you're on the money with both of the scanner models listed.  I've
heard that the Yupiteru models provide better RF performance, but I have
no experience with their scanners.  I have the AOR 8K, and if properly
equipped (eg. an outdoor antenna, preamp/tuner and possibly a filter), you
should do rather well--at least I have.  With the parameters you've defined,
I think you may want to invest in a decent comm's receiver/table-top SW.
Some are small enough to be portable (Lowe HF 150), and can be upgraded to
receive the marine bands.  Check any SW/scanner catalogues you may have
around the house.  Good luck.  Later,

Jeff

detail. If you collect old copies of Popular Communications, it's been several
years, but they had a very detailed listing. I hear planes handing over to
133.500 (Miami's Orlando freq.) fairly often here in Jax.

Airtran I can't locate. Maybe it has a parent company with a different name?

Hi everybody,
 Wanted to buy a portable scanner with budget of around $300. After
reading several articles in this group, the target is narrow down to the
following: PRO-26, PRO-62, PRO-2026, BC230XLT, BC3000XLT.
 I would also like to have earphone output, AC power adaptor input(for
long term usage).
 I know only a little about scanner. Is there a big difference between
scanning of 25 channels/sec. or 100 channels/sec.? How about the search?
Should I just buy from Radio Shack or through mail order?
 Any advice, information is welcome. Thank a lot.

 I can also be reach by [e-mail]

Actually, I think you have it backwards...

The higher the frequency, the greater the PENETRATION... this means
that 900Mhz waves are FAR more capable of busting through the walls
(wood, metal, concrete or otherwise) than the 46Mhz waves.

This is the main reason 900Mhz phones are -so- much better.

I might be mistaken (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), but that is my
understanding of it.

Hi Joe,

A local police dept here is planning to go to edacs digital. The Metro
Toronto ambulance is using an ericsson system (not sure if its
technically edacs or not). That system is analogue and is "moniterable"
however, at the end of each transmission after the repeater hang time,
there is a burst of tones (called the "Ge jingle" since it sounds like
the "we bring good things to life jingle used in GE commercials) which
locks up your scanner for 2-3 secconds (while the conversation is
continuing on another frequency!). However, with the edacs digital, the
audio is all digitized and cannot be monitored with a conventional
scanner.

Message-ID: <[e-mail]>

A while ago, two-dogs mentioned he is developing a device to
automatically follow cellular calls as they hop from channel to channel.
He was met with much skepticism. I don't doubt him, because he has
already written programs that decode cellular data, a program called
SnarfWare which is available from my web page
(http://www.l0pht.com/radiophone). Also on my web page is an explanation
of how to monitor and follow calls with a regular motorola cellular
phone. There is no reason this method couldn't be adapted to a hardware
device that would interface with a scanner to do the same thing. All it
would take is decoding the cellular data stream with a modem chip
(already available for use in cellular phones), a small microcontroller
programmed to interpret this data and work with some interface hardware
to tell the scanner what to do.

I believe you may need a WBFM scanner to use this, and of course have a
scanner that can be controlled by computer.

TWO DOGS: Send me an "ad" or technical description or whatever you have
of this project, and I'll put it up on my web page, or send a URL for
yours (since you don't have an email address for the public to use, I
will address you in the open like this).

Get the Grove catalog even if you don't buy from Grove. It has a good
selector guide in it. Generally, tripple conversion scanners are better.
Double conversion scanners may receive cell phone freqs by scanning
the images. Scanners ordered overseas (such as from Javiation) will not
be cell phone blocked. Grove's # 800-438-8155.

One warning. Scanning can be addictive.

Here are some freqs for Rutgers:

It's been my experience that plain old wips work the best. The loading
generally favors some band over another band. The trouble with wips is
they have little flexibility, i.e. they may damage the scanner. Smiley
makes a spring loaded wip that may not have this problem.

Generally anything designed for transmitting isn't very good outside the
bands it was design to transmit on.

Shoot, I thought this was going to be another bash Rat Shack thread (just
joking)! When I was deciding on a freq counter, I compared the RS model to
the Opto 3300. I went with the Opto because it had a hold button, which I
think is  quite useful (necessary even).

        Hi James,

                May be I can put you in the picture.

        A discone is a frequency independent antenna.
ie the change in impedance is constant over a very wide band.

        It is a derivative of a biconical antenna.
        They are widely used by the Defence depts. For
        Monitoring large chunks of spectrum.

        There are problems associated with the use of discones with
        scanning rec

        1) They are very broad band and being so make the scanner
        sensitive to intermodulation blocking caused by mixing in
        the front end due to signal overload.

        They should never be used with transmitters.

        Narrow band dedicated antennas are less likely to be
        affected by intermodulation.


                Hope this helps


                Bye

I don't think you'll find one for less than $600 new.  Tucker Electronics
in Garland, TX, occasionally has open box returns, the last time I was
there a saw a couple of them for about $550 sitting there.  You might
give them a call.

Also, I think the going price of 2006's is around $350.

First, THANKS! I posted a note here a few days ago seeking
input on the pros and cons of getting my daughter and her
next-door-neighbor friend either cb or 49 mhz two-way radios.

I've had nearly two dozen replies, all very thoughtful. I
had many who expressed reservations about children having CB
radios from the perspective of others they would hear. I suspect
that is unfortunate but true. CB language is sometimes pretty bad.

On a purely scientific note (and also because it was clearly the
cheapest option!) we tried a set of those "Space Patrol" quality
walkie-talkies. These had morse code and a beep button on the
front. They were WOEFULLY inadequate. They did work, but they
were only good for about the distance two people could easily
talk *without* radios! Too bad. Nice try.

I did stop at a radio shack and tested their 49mhz radios, and I
suspect something of that quality would be far better for them.
(These were the entry-level one channel "adult" models.)
I may just opt for buying the radios new, as they are not
terribly expensive, but I thought I'd post here first just to
see if anybody has anything they think might do the trick.
I've also told the girls they should put up some money of their
own if they want walkie-talkies...and maybe they'll take better
care of them. (But their budgets are limited!  ;-)  )

Again, thanks to all who replied to my earlier post. Your comments
were much appreciated!

Dave,

Telecode in Yuma Az supposedly has mod info on this scanner that includes
"Beep disable" I haven't verified this as I haven't purcased their book.
There are 2 mods I know of, one is to turn the unit off, hold down the
2-9-Lockout keys and turn the unit back on, this erases any saved freq's
and loads 25 test freq's, one in the middle of the "locked out" cell band
and another in the 88 MHz range. There is also a mod to shorten the
"squelch tail" by adding a resistor to the circuitry, (I haven't done
this as it hasn't been a problem) The "keyboard" mod worked on my unit
with a date-code of 11A4 which equates to November 1994. If you contact
Telecode, please share what you find out from them. The keyboard beep
annoys my wife greatly, I'd like to disable mine too, (the beep, not my
wife!)

Good Luck

Randy.

KC5KTO's radio page has software for decoding POCSAG. I have not tried
it so you are on your own. This is great scanner page.

Looking thru the FAQ for a fix, I see the following mentioned:

Unfortunately, I don't have Monitoring Times.  Does anyone know how to

I spoke with a police dispatcher here in El Paso, Tx and was told that
the reason for this system is that in the past criminals only had to
listen to a few frequencies to see if police had been dispatched to the
scene of the crime. Each radio transmission can end up on a different
frequency and this is hard to track.

I wished they had the old system. It was nice to be able to follow an
entire event on one frequency.

Quick follow-up in case anyone was interested in the outcome of
my search...and a couple of people were curious...

We reached a rather unorthodox and unexpected solution. The girls
got a wireless intercom system, the type that plugs into the wall
and transmits through the wiring. It is not mobile, but the
quality is excellent, it has the call function, etc.

We picked these up as a test, actually. They were less expensive
than the RS 49 mhz radios, too. I expected they would work in my
house, and they did, that was the first test. Then wer tried from
the house to the garage...still good. I was really surprised when
they worked just as well from house-to-house.

Perhaps it is obvious that I know nothing about electrical wiring.
Maybe both houses run off the same transformer or something. I
haven't a clue why they work, but they do. Very nicely, actually.
No background noise, can leave them on all the time, no batteries
to go dead, etc. They seem quite pleased.

Thanks again to all who offered comments and suggestions.  - Dave

if these fcc master lists they compile the guides from are accurate, why

There are several possibilities that come to mind:

1)  The four freqs you've found are the most commonly used ones.
Channel 7 may get used so rarely that it's difficult to find with a
frequency search.

2)  Often the police use frequencies assigned to the city for
non-police transmissions in the evening and at night.  (They might use a
street department freq as an occasional, or special operations, channel
because the street department goes home at 5pm, right when the police
radio traffic is picking up.)

In the books look for frequencies with the radio codes GA, GF, GP, PF,
PH, PL, PM, OP, PP, PS, QM, YA, YF and YP in your area.

3)  It could be that they really are using some out of band or low power
frequencies.

One possiblity is they are using a state-wide car-to-car frequency
as Channel 7.  In my area most locals have access to a county-wide
frequency (to contact other locals and the sheriff) and a state-wide
frequency (to contact state units and provide additional car-to-car).

On the ohter hand that channel could be just bypassing the repeater,
transmitting on the repeater out frequency.  My old hometown PD used to
do that. You would have to be fairly close (maybe line of sight) to
pick them up.

Hope it helps,

        George

Hi,
I have a question for the antenna experts ...

Is it possible to put up two antennas, e.g. one discone and
one directional antenna on a rotor and then feed both signals
into the same cable and into the radio at the same time, thus
having both omnidirectional coverage from the discone and a
better directional signal from the direction the rotor is
pointing ?

We are of course talking receive-only, no transmissions.

Regards

Peter

It is possible, but maye not very practical.  The signals from the 2
antennas could be easily combined, but depending on the relative
phasing of the signals one would get either constructive or
destructive interference, meaning that the signals could either
reinforce each other or cancel each other.  The phasing would depend
on the spacing of the 2 antennas, the length of the feedlines, and the
frequency of the signal in question.  Of course, if the 2 antennas are
picking up different signals or the signal strenghts from the 2
antennas are very different then this problem would be avoided.

The other problem is that the combining process is never lossless so
the signal strength from both antennas will be somewhat degraded.

Some commercial communications systems do something similiar to what
you suggest (it is called diversity reception).  The way it is
normally done is to have 2 antennas feeding 2 different reciever front
ends.  The output of the receivers is constantly being sampled and the
one that has the best signal is used.

Ryan:

I can be done by cloning the electronic serial number in one phone, to
match that of another.  A couple of problems enter the picture.  You can
only use one at a time.  They both ring on the same incomming calls.  It
is Federal offense to do so.

I'm not expressing an opinion, just the facts.

Not unusual at all. It doesn't use conventional radio transmission but
rather sends the signal via the mains wiring.

British Airways flights to Sweden are always called "Speedboat" by ATC
and themselves. Might be trans-continental flights that are called
"Speedbird". The Speedbird pilots are perhaps considering themselves
as "higher up the ladder" compared to the Speedboat guys.

No, charging does not require the pack installed on the radio, I do it all

This page will give you all the radio frequencies for the airports in
your area: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/db1/fly/airport-info.html .  This
includes arrival, departure, tower, ground control, etc.

Most of the communications will be on these freqs.  The non-military
distress frequency is 121.5.  There is also a general plane to plane
"CB" frequency, but I don't remember what it is.

The major carriers also have their own frequencies for plane to plane
and plane to ground.  These are outside of the air band, ususally in the
450 MHz range, and are more to do with schedules, supplies, and
maintenance than flying.

As you listen to the departure frequencies you can write down the
regional air traffic control frequencies as they are given to the planes
("TWA271 contact Kansas City Center on 126.985").  You may not be able
to hear the controller, but you'll pick up any planes in your area that
are transmitting on those freqs.

yes, there is one small difference, which I think may be worth the extra
cash, besides the extra channels.  The sportcat is somewhat limited in the
ability to search between a range of frequencies.  For instance, lets say,
you know that a freq you want to hunt for is between 150-154mHz.  With the
sportcat your forced to search between 148-174mHz, which can be time
consuming considering the amount of limited talk time most people have on
air.  With the 220, you can search between what ever freqs *you* punch in,
saving a great deal of frustration.  When I first got my sportcat, I failed
to research this and have been disappointed ever since.  Other than this,
the two should be identical in performance.  Good luck.  Sorry, I cannot
comment on any PRO-xx series.

I wouldn't say that Bearcats "suck."  If they "sucked" they wouldn't sell
so many of them.

I am a RS fanatic, but I realize that Uniden makes great scanners, too.
In fact, some RS scanners are made by Uniden.  (Not the Pro-200X series.)
I am not intimately familiar with many Unidens, with the exception of the
BC9000. We have one at work and it is great.

To say that there is nothing RS scanners can do that a BC cannot is
incorrect.  How about computer interfacing?  Luckily for Pro-200X owners,
GRE (the manufacturer) decided to have more discrete components instead of
one great big honker IC that has all the functions in it.  With the
discrete components you can dive in between and tap into circuitry that is
untouchable on the Unidens.  There is more than computer interfacing, too.
Things like signal strength meters can be added to RS radios, and I have
not heard of that being so with Uniden units.

Last, the Pro-200X series in a tried and true batch of radios that have
been ridden hard, put away wet, and come back for more.  (Not saying the
Unidens are slouches...just that the RS Pro-200X units have been around
for over 10 years with fantastic track records.)

Bottom line, if you want to hack and/or have computer control, get a RS
unit.  If that is not your intent, get the one with the best reviews, the
best price, and the features you need.

I am not nearly as familiar with Radio Shack's newer Pro-2035 and Pro-2042
units.  Can't tell you much about them other than they are made by GRE
just like the 2006 was.

I saw a documentary the other day that reconed the governments

weak encryption system. This was because the intelegence services
were worried about not being able to listen in on peoples phone
calls.

Any one else heard of this.

I'm sure this is a simple question.  But..

Can someone point me to a web page, etc. (or simply supply this info).

What are the standard signal mode and default step sizes (KHZ) on the
major frequencies from 25 to 1300 (i.e., a standard scanner) for use in
the US.

I've found numerous lists of frequencies, spectrum band, etc. but nothing
seems to list for example:  400.000 - 511.9875 NFM 12.5.

I've looked through Police Call Plus as well and can't seem to find this
info.  Any help would be appreciated.

Will the ICOM 8500 have shortwave capabilities that would compare to the
Drake R8-A or will the shortwave aspect merely be an added feature to a
primarily UHF-VHF scanner such as the ICOM 7100?

Does anyone have the frequencies for the new trunked system on Hickam Air
Force Base Hawaii?  The system is in the 415MHz range.  Thanks.

I have the Diamond brand discone.
If you live in a high population area
higher is not better.You can get two
conversations on the same channel.
I have mine in the attic and still have
that problem in the evening when
the most people are on the phone.

Hi Drew & Jim,

I have the Diamond DJ-130 discone (with the vertical element above the
radials) which is the same as the Icom, but without the "N" connector.
It uses a SO-239 (which mates with a PL-259 VHF connector).  Mine is fed
with Cushcraft Ultralink very low loss coax.  I also have a 25 year old
commercial 3db gain ground plane cut for 2meters (144-146 MHz) which is
fed with RG58U or A/U (I don't remember).  Both antennas are up about 50
feet, separated by about 25 feet.

At low frequencies (6m or 50MHz), the old ground plane outperforms the
discone considerably. Some frequencies can't even be heard with the
discone (DSC), and are clear with the ground plane (GP).  Others are fair
on the DSC, and loud on the GP.  Occassionally, the REVERSE is true.  I'm
using a RS PRO-2006 scanner, with the attenuation set at 0db.  I would
have expected that even though the DSC is not all that great at low
frequencies, the GP, cut to resonate at 3 times higher than the low
freq's would not perform any better than the DSC, but it's not true.  Any
one know why?

At UHF (800MHz to 1.3GHz), it's no contest as one would expect.  The DSC
wins hands down.  Signals are not even present on the GP, but at those
freq's, you wouldn't expect them.

Would be interested in other opinions.

Alan, de WA6AQC

Police Call might be a place to start.

Or...let us know what state/county/city, etc., and maybe we (everyone else
who reads these postings) can help.  I just happen to have several
variations of FCC databases on CD-Rom, and would be glad to look them up
for you.

Or...waltz up to one of them and ask to see the radio, or perhaps they
know already and will tell you what they are.

Or...ask them who dispatches them.  Often times it is the Highway
Patrol/Sheriff/City agency that they serve in. (Worst thing that will
happen is they well tell you to take a flying leap.)

Or...ask for a tour of their dispatch center and poke around until you
find the FCC license that SHOULD be hanging on the wall at the control
point, which is the dispatch center, generally speaking. (The "flying
leap" scenario may apply here, too.)

Or...hit the local Radio Shack type store and see if they have a list.

Good luck,

Andy

Subject says it all, almost. Tripped across a 2021 at a good price, but
got no docs. Trial'n'errored the basics, but don't know how to properly
set search ranges, how to turn banks on/off, etc.

If anybody has an extra manual, or would consider copying just the
significant pages, I would be happy to reimburse for copying/postage
costs. Also, is there any way to clean/brighten freq display? Angle of
view is real narrow.

Unless you think replies would be of general interest, replies via

If you are able to make sense of all of it, you better be concerned! ;-)

Early in CFR 47, there's a table of services which are administered by the FCC
.  This
table gives a description of each of the services (e.g. amateur, radiolocation
, etc)
and what part of CFR47 applies to it.  I have that table tabbed for easy acces
s.

The fun part is finding contradictions in the code--not too difficult to find!

New frequencies:
Dock    [852.0875 MHz]
Boat 1  [852.8375 MHz]
Boat 2  [851.7875 MHz]

Some of the old frequencies:
        [151.04 MHz]
Ch#79   [156.975 MHz]

You have to be fairly close to the ferry to hear anything on the new
frequencies.

The is a ham antenna called the "Ventenna" that will go right on the
vent on your roof.  It is paintable so that it will match your current
pipe.   It is available in a dual band version for 144/450 mhz, and that
should be more than sutable for most scanning situations.  If you don't
want a visible antenna on your car, you can get a signal splitter from
grove enterprises to use your current car antenna and share it between
your car radio and scanner.  Performance will be compromised, though.
If you dont have a cell phone, there is a "cellular look-alike" antenna
that can be mounted on your back windshield as well.

I recently purchased a used Pro-51, but it is too new to have all of the
800MHz freqs.  Also, the 2-9-L/O trick doesn't work.  All the test freqs
are in the legal bands.  Can 800MHz be restored on this radio?  Thanks!

Please excuse if the following post actually made it on
my first attempt.  Like I said before, my ISP (EPIX.NET)
usually only seems able to handle 50% or less of the
articles so I have re-posted this just in case.
Thanks
bill


I spent the Fourth of July week-end in Philly so I now have some
radio related questions.

1.  On top of the Franklin Institute there is one (very) large
beam (Yagi?) antenna and at least one long wire.  Does anyone
know what they are used for?  Possibly a Ham Radio Club?

2.  Are there any marine frequencies that are particulary
busy in the Philly area?  I notices quite a bit of river
traffic including the Coast Guard and a boat labled something
like "Marine Patrol" (guys in brown uniforms).

3.  Does any know if and what the "Moran" (tug boats) *company*
frequency is or if infact they have one dedicated for their
own use?

4.  I had several frequencies programmed from the old "Monitor
America" book.  The "Central/453.150 and "South/453.650" freqs
seemed to be just that.  I also had "Traffic/453.250" (seemed
to be mainly traffic - but - "Detectives/453.400, Emergency/
453.550, Command/453.600 and Adminstration/453.750" most of
the time *all* seemed to have the same info/traffic on them.
Are they really suppose to be broken up this way or is their
actual use something different than is listed in the book?

BY-THE-WAY  My provider (EPIX) consistantly receives (or looses)
about fifty percent of the Usenet traffic so if possible I
would also appreciate any email replies.

Thank you for any and all help

Hello.
I am looking at purchasing my first scanner and Radio Shack'has the
PRO-2032 on clearance for a good price. Would this be a good
first scanner? Are there any mods available for this unit to
restore the full 800MHz band?

Thanks for your help!

My PRO-46 quit working when its being powered by the AC power supply a
couple of months ago.  It works fine off batteries.  The power supply
is definitely still good.  When its plugged into the charging jack, it
still charges the batteries.  I took the radio apart and tried to
trace down the problem with no luck.  Its getting power to the board
but I don't know where the problem is.  I also tried swapping power
supplies with another radio.  That radio worked fine with my power
supply and my radio still did nothing.

I posted this problem back when it first happened but received no
miracle advice.  Well, today I was messing around with it again and
discovered that every time I turn on the unit with no power connected
and no batteries installed, then plug in the power supply while the
radio is turned on, it powers up and scans but will not receive
anything at all.  Turn it off then back on again with power connected
and "nothing".  Unplug the power supply then plug it back in and it
comes on and scans but will not receive anything.  It works fine off
batteries alone.

Anybody experience a similar problem or have any ideas on how to fix
it now that I have a little more to go on?

I have a realistic 400 channel scanner.
It covers 25-520 and 760-1300 Mhz. Here in the uk, the 520-760Mhz gap
is in the middle of the television band, so the only problam is that
I just have trouble getting all of the TV channels. No big deal.
The functions are pretty basic eg. AM NFM and WFM, with no sideband
and no variable bandwidth, also no way of fine tuning the frequencies.
This can cause problems listening to the CB radio band. In the UK
CB radio used FM mod. and the NFM on my Realistic is a bit to wide
and tends to get crosschannel interferance.
On the good side it has a good sensitive receiver,
I think it is pretty good for a mid level scanner.

Richard.

It's only a problem if you want to listen to the military air band, which make
s up the majority of the area you mentioned.

Greetings to you all from Sunny Somerset, England!
(I lied 'cos the sun ain't shining!)

To the point:-

Reference to    alt.radio.scanner
                        rec.radio.scanner.

I am sure that most of us who subscribe to one of the above groups
also subscribe to the other one as well.

Daily, I see a posting from subscribers echoed in both groups. Replies
and comments are echoed to both groups. Indeed I have answered the
same question asked in both groups.....

It seems do be duplicating the work and efforts of EVERY ONE
concerned, downloading duplicated postings, and then having to answer
them twice - (3 times if you include alt.radio.scanner.uk as well!)
Increases the costs for us poor scanneroos who have a dial-up account
and have to pay the phone bill for time used!

Q1) Is there  a need (or valid reason) to have the two groups
separately?

Q2) Is it possible to amalgamate the two groups??

If the answer is No & Yes respectively, then:-

Q3) How do we go about amalgamation?

Q4) Who actually does it?
-----------------------------

Any one else got thoughts on the subject? Can it be done? Do we ALL
want it done?

Some service providers may not give subscribers access to both groups
- come to that, I only know of the 3 scanner groups that I have
mentioned - are there any others that I should also look at?

Anyone actually seen one of the pc-based 'software' receivers?
There's lots of marketing propaganda floating around, but no real data
sheets with detailed RF specs., etc.  I'd appreciate any help.

Please e-mail replies.  Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm after plans, diagrams and calculations or anything else to help me
bulid a scanner antenna.  I've built a few over the last coupla years,
including a 450Mhz co-linear.  I plan to build another one (mum nicked it
after i got her addicted to the scanner), anyway, i would like to try building
a discone as I know they are have great bandwidth and good swr (for when i get

a transmitting licence)  :)

So if ya got some site's (or docs) for plans or other information on antenna
design please mail me the url's :)

Thanks in advance :)

Look for a ARRL antenna book.
Any ham radio shop should have it.
You may have to git it through mail
order.
I use a discone. It does work well
from cordless to cell phones.
I get so many cordless phones in
the evenings I must go to the whip
sometimes because of overlaping
phones on same freq.

I already have a copy, thanks.  But I don't particularly care for the
layout of info.  It seems the same as Percom type data base.

The reason I would like to find the ScanMaster for AZ is that info
usually is verified for the listeners, by listeners, and includes PL's
etc.  Nothing against your book, just looking for "additional" info.

IN commercial center "Italie 2" in 13th Arr. you've got a Tandy shop.

This one isn't close.

Michael,

    To the best of my knowledge the combination of scanner and GPS will
not tell you the Lat/Lon of the transmitter.  You can of course come close
by knowing the Lat/Lon at which you recieved the signal, thus if you are
mobile and combine signal strength you might conclude things.  Also with
a database like the PERCON cd rom you can find the Lat/Lon of many
transmitters and try to make a match with your Lat/Lon and the general
coverage areas provided by the frequency in question.  To get even more
high tech you could DF (direction find the signal) thus eliminating
many other transmitters, or with two triangulate...but this is not an
ordinary scanner setup.

    Since you mentioned Optoelectronics...you might notice their most
recent product which is a reciever, which appears to have Lat/Lon gps
built in so it can record in it's memory the Lat/Lon at which you
received the signal...I also beleive that this receiver is not like
a scanner in that you have to be fairly close < 1 mile for the unit to
pick out the strengh of this signal above all others, so if you were
wondering around at an airshow or something you might pick up local
activity, or if you are driving and you hear something it will log
where you heard it.

    Check back with the Opto page, it looks like a neat unit.

/Jim

For the past couple of months I have listened to the superlink working.  I
have to compliment everyone who has worked to set this up.  During the
last month of so, whenever threatening weather has popped up, I find that
I am tuning my scanner to the superlink freq to find out what is happening
and to get the very latest in weather info.  What a network the state's
hams have set up.  I was always familiar with the weather watching hams
but am really impressed with the statewide organization that happens on a
moments notice.  Last night (Wed 7/10) as threatening weather approached
my area (Minot), I turned on the scanner just in time to hear someone
bring up the link and ask for info on what things looked like here.
Immediatly I heard 3 or more hams respond and set themselves up to observe
the weather patterns and report what was happening.  This was very
impressive to me!!!   My compliments to Bill, WB8BZH and others (I am
sorry that I cannot name them but I was not writing down names, etc of
those that came up) that quickly responded.

It is even harder to track or listen to when it is digitally
encrypted.

And as far as trying to convince them that the system has
disadvantages,  I wouldn't try it - you're wasting your time.

I doubt that an agency goes to a multi-million dollar trunking system with
the primary reason being to keep people from listening to them.  Trunking
makes it difficult...not impossible.  If secrecy were that impprtant, they
would go to DVP on their existing non-trunked system.  It is much cheaper
and fool proof. I think that sometimes we scanner enthusiasts over
estimate our "importance" in the entire scheme of things.

I am a long time scanner nut AND a police dispatcher since 1982, so I have
experience from both ends of the argument.

Hi all,

I have found a Uniden Bearcat scanner 760XLT for 249.00. This unit has
full 12-band coverage including 800mhz frequencies.  Is this a good
price ??  It also has 100 programmable channels and automatically
searches for fire etc..

I have seen some posts about having to modify you scanner to get the
800 MHZ frequencies.  I would assume I would not have to do that with
this unit.  Please reply to me or the group.

Thanks!!

Mattc

One very usful page that I have found is Mike Fink's South Florida
Frequency List.  The name is kind of a misnomer, however, because it
covers the entire state of Florida, broken down by counties.  It also
have great listings of 10-codes, Signal Codes, and other frequencies.

The URL is [http://www.shadow.net/~mikef/].  Give it a try.

Does audio compression distort what you hear with the scanner?
I think this is what companders do.
How about the digital system att uses on their 900Mhz phones.

Being a scanner owner I want a cordless phone that will take a lot
of effort to hear.

Try a Vtech 9000. Uses digital voice scrambling. I tuned my scanner to it
and all I heard was a whoosing noise.

Guess I scared myself listening to what some people say on cordless.
A thief can get your charge card number or clean out your house when
you tell a friend your going out of town. I may forget to get on
corded phone.
The average joe will not go to the trouble of building or buying a
descrambler.
I just bought a Motorola  2025 with secure clear.
It's hte next step up from the 200. It's on sale at office depot for
$74.99  reg. $119.99
It's not a 900Mhz phone so the battery should last.
As a scanner hobbiest I don't want to hear the distorted audio it
makes.
I saw the Vtech 9000 and it looks just like the toshiba I took back.

The "Average Joe" isn't going to clean your house out or use your credit
card numbers! "Above Average Joe" with a descrambler might though!

"Voice Activated" maybe?  They may have a separate channel or
frequency where the transmissions are voice activated, ie they don't
have to manually key a microphone in order to transmit.  That would be
my guess....

Try the NASA home page, then go to the shuttle section.  There is a
listing of all the frequencies you can search.  In my area I use a
Ham repeator.  You can hear Houston, Huntsville, and the shuttle crew.

Being in the business, I know that sometimes departments will give channel
numbers to things like "Call me on the cell phone."  In some cities, that
may also mean channel 7 (or whatever channel they use) on the CB radio.
Some officers in Kansas City MO and Kansas City KS used to/still do use CB
radios on an unofficial basis.

Andy

Another thing to look for is talk-around on repeater channels.  That means
that the units can switch to the repeater frequency and have low power car
to car traffic and still hear dispatch.

Hi!  I have a chance to pick up a Bearcat BC101 for $50.  I'm looking
for a unit which will cover the FM Ham bands for casual scanning
(i.e., 29 MHz, 54 MHz, 144 MHz, 220 MHz, & 440 MHz).  Does this unit
have decent sensitivity across the whole 29-512 MHz spectrum, or
will I be disappointed?  I have an Icom IC2SRA which claims 29-900 MHz
coverage, but it really has no ears below the FM broadcast band.

I could also obtain a BC100XLT for $70.  Would this radio be worth the
extra $20 investment?

Doug,

I extend myself here, gaining NO personal profit, to make fellow
hobbyists aware of what I feel is a good deal, and out of no where,
you stick your nose in and make a serious accusation impuning my
integrity.

You have some set, my friend.

First, I'm sure we'd all like a defination of "d4y times"  However, I
THINK I remember you, but not exactly sure of what it is you're
complaining about.

The lack of THAT information gives the impression to others here that
I am some kind of scam artist, and that I in some way accepted money,
etc., and did not ship a radio.

I've been involved in literally hundreds of radio deals here and on
the Compuserve HAMNET.  Although many might not agree with my radio
"politics", I've NEVER, EVER been dishonest, and 99.9% of all those
folks have more then happy with the deals I made for them.  I can
provide a substantial list of parties from BOTH venues vouching for my
credibility.

This deal on the AR 2700 is for real, I assure you, and the radios
will be made available.

Now, if there is some problem that you had or APPARENTLY STILL HAVE
with me, I would've appreciated the courtesy of discussing this
privatley in E-Mail and being afforded an opportunity to right a
wrong, if there was in fact a wrong committed against you.

You, sir, are apparently NOT courteous, and have dragged this publicly
for all to see, and for me to be damaged.  This is the shame, and
major downside of cyber - relations.

I would be happy to discuss this mater with you, either via E-Mail,
where it SHOULD be, or here, should you persist.

Be forewarned, however, that if you wish to debate me here publicly,
you will suffer the wrath of my angst, lest you know of what you
speak.

O.K.!  Now I remember you, Doug, and Iam quite perplexed as I thought
I did the right thing by you.

Please excuse the initial non-recognition of your name, but as I said,
I do get involved in buying and selling alot here and on the HAMNET.
The reason for this is that many of my radio friends do not have
computer access, so I buy and sell equipment for them as well.

The SONY 2010 you mentioned was just such an item I was selling as a
favor for a friend.  Upon returning from my trip, and getting the radi
from my friend, I noticed that the radio was defective..problems with
the AC input jack, which I understand is a common problem with these
radios.  I did not and would not attach my name to the sale of a radio
that I knew was defective.  My friend did not want to have it
repaired, so the deal was off.  I E-Mailed you a message as to the
above, and never received a reply, assuming that you got the messsage.
I di dnot receive further inquiries from you, so I figured the point
was moot.

It is obvious, then that you did try to rectify this via E-Mail, but
for some reason, we could not connect.  For that I apologize publicly.

However, I would also ask that you acknowledge as well the fact that
NO money changed hands, nor were you ever defrauded in any way.

Please be assured that the 2010 did not go to a higher bidder as you
suggest.  As a matter of fact, my friend still has it, and the AC plug
is still defective!

It is unfortunate that we had to air our laundry here and bore
everyone else to death, but I'm glad to see we may be working toward
mending  fences.  To that end, I would offer to assist you in
obtaining another similar radio, should you still desire,  or to help
you in any other way.  Hopefully we can part as friends.

Think of it from the seller's point of view... You have to start somewhere
and then negotiate from there. You also have to consider who will pick up
shipping. If you've sold a scanner before, then you know that you'll have
to pay at least $10 for UPS.

You're wrong in saying that "prices are always way inflated." In fact,
they are quite consistent for any given model. People here have a pretty
good idea of what the market will bear...Occasionally, someone comes along
and asks a price out of the norm, but that doesn't happen all that often.
In this case, $200 is high. I bet that if the seller actually sells the
scanner, it will be to someone who has offered less. In any case, $175 is
the going rate for a used BC200XLT.

I will be making a trip to the Charolette NC  area in the next few
months. I understand that the Charlotte-Mecklingburg public service
agencies (police, fire, ems) went to a trunked radio system. I believe
I read that it is Motorola and analog.  I have a few questions:

How many systems are in use. In other words, are there more than one
data channel used at the same time?

What are the frequencies used in the sytem(s)?

How often does the data channel change frequency?

What services other than police, fire, ems uses the trunked system?

Does anyone have a talkgroup listing for the system? I know this one
is pie-in-the-sky.

What is the unit numbering for the Police department?


Thanks and any information will be appreciated.

I'm sure if you wonder around in Vic Healey's WEB page you'll find it and
much more.

Check www.crl.com/~vhealy/ar8000/homepage.html

I found one by Pete Folberth (sp) that has a couple of transistors and
diodes and 4 resistors. Looks as if it could be built into a DB connector
hood but I'm going to build mine in a breakout box.

I ordered the SAC8000 from AES for $29.95. It has the AR8000 connecotr on
one end and a DB-25 on the other. That takes care of the connector
problem and it's much cheaper than the EEB or OPTO interfaces.

Peter also has 4 basic programs that are short and easy. One to download,
one to convert AR file to ascii, one to convert ascii to AR file and one
to upload. If I could figure out how to attach his file I'd send it to
you.

good luck

Yup! I'm getting Missouri Highway Patrol here in Ottawa, Canada they
referred to Monroe City (near Hanibal). But this is common here in Ottawa.
The local Ontario Provincial Police here used to operate on 42.060 and
42.220 use to comment, It's going to rain we can hear Missouri! Skip is
fun. I use a Road Atlas to help me figure out were they are, usally they
will give a place name if you monitor for a while...

That's where I ordered my BCT-2 manual.

Thought I would respond with this post ...

We have call boxes that operate in the cellular band down here. A dedicated
cell phone (a special 'flash' or version of software in the main phone board)
and a ruggidized box plus batt and solar panel ...

A modified pager? Good luck!

The best program I've seen is Message Tracker made by

    K & L Technology
    P.O. Box 460838
    Garland, Texas  75046-7198

They have three programs available, depending on how fancy
you need to be. They start at about $119.00, up to $239.00.

The program is loaded into your computer and the output cable
from your computer fits into the audio jack of a scanner. It
will decode golay and pocsag 512, 1200 & 2400 baud messages,
both numeric and alpha. (They plan to have a FLEX version out soon.)

Their phone number is: 214-414-7198

Sounds like you need to find a new pawn shop! We have one here in Wichita
that has about a dozen radios (uniden pro510xl's and equivalant midland
types), all in near mint condition, for $24.95 each. They even have a power
supply for you to use and they have no problem if you want to bring in your
own meter and dummy load for testing!


OTOH, there is another one that is asking $1200 for a Yaesu FT101ZD and $375
for a (new in box) htx202........

If the serial number does not contain an A, it should be modifiable.

I have a 2004 when powered up has a blank screen. If I press the reset button
on the rear of the scanner the display returns. If I then press any key the
display will go blank.  If I don't press a key for a about 10 mintes the
display will work normally.

The lastest problem has been the squelch not working. The control is set
so I should hear static but the scanner keeps on scanning.

Any tips??

thanks,
Ken

My new radio shack flyer came in the mail yesterday.  They have reduced
the price of the PRO-60 by $130, selling it now for $249.95 (NEW!).

I'll go $150 on your PRO-60.

Why not just tell eveyone to STOP posting to alt... and use

Wow if you find one with alpha tagging please let me know.

The one I bought (doesn't have alpha tagging) but works great is the Icom
R-100.  The downside to it is it takes 3 antenna inputs.  This would be for
band rejection, and frequency ressonat.  It has it's on Pre-amp and
attenuator.  It works very nice it rejects better than my mobile transciever.

I'm going to be taking a trip to rochester, NY in a couple of weeks. I
mapped out my route and decided that I'd pass close to these following
airports:

O'Hare Int'l, Chicago
Indianapolis Int'l, Indiana
Detroit Int'l, Michigan

If anyone can provide me with curent frequencies for these airports, I
would greatly appreciate it. I'd like to get the freq's for each
airport's tower, ground control, approach, departure, ATIS, and
clearance departure; and if possible - the military UHF freq's that
apply. If you have any of this info please email it to me. Thanks!!!

In the county I live in, it's not uncommon at all for citizens to call in and
tip off the County Sheriff's office when they're hunting for someone pretty
hard.  I don't know how many times I've been listening when some anonymous
caller gives a tip where to find what they're lookin' for.  In short, you can'
t
fart in this county without some sharp eyed (or nosed in this case) grandma
callin' the Sheriff.  Makes for a nice peaceful county to live in.  :)  And,
last but not least, cellular phones have really made it tough on drivers with
an
attitude or a snoot full of hooch.  Lott'sa calls go in about them.

Have a good one...  Hutch

Does anybody know what frequencies will be used at the Van Nuys Airshow on 7/1
3 and
7/14?

I have the tower freqs as 119.0  119.3   and   120.2
I have a couple of military aircraft freqs as 239.0  and 303.0
I have a couple of helocopter freqs at 122.75 and 123.025

I know I have LAPD, LAFD and the Dept of Airports covered.
I know there are other channels out there, and what I have might be wrong. I'm
 mostly
looking for military aircraft, skydiving teams, etc.

This evening (00:00 to 02:00 UTC) I was hearing some low
band skip in Rochester, NY.

The most persistent signal was KNIJ-368 on 33.90.  A search
of the Percon database identified this as Lafourche Parish,
Louisiana.  Moderate signal with some fading - many EMS
dispatches, one fire alarm heard.

Another positive ID was KBJ-221 on 46.38, which turns out to
be Walworth County, Wisconsin.  Very strong signal, but only
two transmissions, one of which was a time check with the
callsign.

Came across a scanner in an ad (UK magazine) that I've never seen before.
It's the Welz WS-1000. Features 500 Khz-100 Mhz (no gaps), AM/FM
(narrow/wide), and 400 channels. What makes it unique is that the scanner
is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, or a man's shirt pocket.
Sells for about $500.

Don't know anything about performance, however. If anyone has this
scanner, tell us what you think about it.

I believe it is also sold in the U.S. under another name, maybe
Standard.

I thought the freq coverage was much wider.

I use an Escort which produces a VERY irritating buzz when a scanner hits it.
It's supposed to be digital spread spectrum and to tell the truth, I was
surprised that the scanner found it at all.  Then again, I'm not a electronics
tech so I can't say for sure what I'm supposed to hear or not hear.

HHAHAHA this would work.  I use a cordless phone when just calling around, but
if it's going to require some info such as a bank account, credit card, etc.
I'll hop on a corded phone.

I have the Vtech Platinum. It was the only phone that I could find
that was digital, 900 Mhz, and had a caller ID screen on the head set.
I have tried scanning for the freq's but all I get is something that
sounds like an "open carrier". And I have to be right next to the
phone to pick it up. I am very satisfied with the phone.

BTW what type coax do the cable TV co's use for their long runs btwn

I think that for many, it's more a matter of principle.  They don't like
the fact they are paying for a radio which intentionally blocks out
certain bands which it is designed to receive.  And also, everyone is
different.   Some people find that listening to other people's phone
calls is fascinating, some would rather sit and watch grass die.

That's odd, because the FT-73R is a 440 Mhz handheld.   Maybe you are
overlooking the smaller "4" in front of the 44 and 45?

Maybe this is the Europe version?  (sometimes they differ)

The mods include a US band plan setting, a Europe band plan, and a
commercial mod that puts the radio into a semi-commercial type
operation where the display displays "CH 1" etc. and the radio will
tune some very wide range, but receives the ham band and a little out
of it, but not far without retuning.

Check over the radio, make sure that it is a 73R, and that the display
is working.  These models have a thing about the displays not
displaying all digits.  So try pressing on the display to see if that
helps.

If not, let me know.  I will try and help you out.

Hopefully this is the right newsgroup for this...

I'm thinking about getting a 900MHz phone ... What kind of range can I
expect with one?  I've heard varuios estimates from 100 feet to a mile
"under ideal condtions."

I work from home and would like to be able to run down to the bagel shop
three blocks away without worrying about missing calls.

Also, does digital spread spectrum really increase a phone's range, or
does it just offer better protection against snoopers?

thanks,
-derek

There are other methods of scrambling besides frequency inversion! The
phone this guy was talking about is digital! Your SSB scanner will do you
no good here!

>>What do you mean when you say an antenna "cut for the middle" for the
military frequencies. Do you mean literally to cut the antenna in half.
What does this do?<<

What I meant was I took the RS antenna and cut the vertical and three
radials down to 11" each based on the formula for a groundplane: Length
(inches) = 2808/frequency(MHz).  It's optimized for 255MHz, not exactly
the middle of the Mil Air bands (225-400) like I posted.  I wanted it to
be toward the lower section of that range so I could still pick up general
aviation freqs decently. Hope this helps.

I have a dipole antenna mounted inside my attic. Should it be grounded?

Let me start off by saying that I've *finally* read all the messages in
rec.radio.scanner!  Over 400 threads and probably around 1500 messages! I'm
glad to be caught up.  I wanted to thank everyone for their helpful responses
in my previous posts, I've learned a ton!

What I'm looking for is an antenna that best meets my purpose.  I use a
handheld multiband transceiver primarily in a handheld fashion, that is,
out and about, NOT in a car, and not as a base station.

I know I am looking for a 'one-size-fits-all' solution.  If this isn't possibl
e,
perhaps you could suggest antennas that are optimized to work in the airband
and the 800mhz band.

I am currently using
a Comet SH-55, which is a 16" whip.  I want to receive the airband(approx 108
to 135mhz), VHF-HIGH, UHF, and 800mhz public safety freqs.  The comet is
a dualband antenna, which means my VHF-HIGH and UHF bands are covered, and
I'm assuming it does a good job.  Are there other dual band antennas suitable
for handheld applications that have more gain than the Comet?  Please provide
brand names, model numbers, and listed db gain.  I've heard the Austin Condors
are good as well as the diamond series.  Can someone point me in the right
direction?  I'd consider purchasing one of those if there would be a noticeabl
e
difference.  Has anyone ever seen a review of 'portable' (ie not mobile or
base station) antennas?

Now, if my comet is one of the best(a local ham swears by his), my next
logical conclusion would be a scanner preamp.  From what I've heard,
these can increase the gain considerable.  I've never even *heard* intermod
on my transceiver, so I don't think there would be a problem there.  Any
idea on how effective these are for bringing in distant signals?  Can someone
suggest a quality brand name and model number, as well as approximate cost?
I believe Radio Shack sells one, but I'm very wary about purchasing items
from them.  Portability is an issue, but even if I was constrained to using
it at home, or in a car, would be fine.

My last concern is a mobile/car antenna.  I'm thinking a 1/4 wave would
probably be good.  A dual band 1/4 wave antenna designed for dual band use
should probably be effective in both 2m and 70cm, but also for airband, seeing
that it is so close to 2m.  Would this antenna be totally ineffective for
800mhz?  Can someone suggest the brand name/model of a quality dual band
1/4 wave antenna designed for mobile use?  I know this is a stupid question,
but I'm assuming that if this antenna is totally ineffective for 800mhz, would
a cellular antenna be the most effective for that range?

I appreciate your taking the time to read this, and any responses will be
helpful.

Thanks.

My question is, what good does this do you, the scanner listener?

Now, make it only hear certain talkgroups, and you have got something.

I canceled AOL because for one thing, they are sloooow. They have so much
graphics that it gets in the way. They don`t compress this stuff, so it drags
your system down. They also have not kept up with modernizing their baud rates
,
a lot of the access number won`t go above 9600. Also, you just simply do not
have the kind of resources available to you on AOL that you do on the internet

! AOL is a kind of service that has "had it`s day", like BBS`s. Obsolete
technology must fall by the wayside.............

If the one that "came with it" is the usual 9" rubber duck, almost
anything you do will be an improvement.

Some options, in ascending order of expense and difficulty:

- An extendable whip with attached BNC
- A whip intended for auto applications, cabled, may need to change
connector.  can be remotely mounted.
-An external, mounted antenna with full-blown mast, cableing, etc.

In any event:  Higher is better
                       Use the antenna length to match the frequencies

                       are most interested in.

Mark

The truth as I percieve it to be.
Your perception may be different.

Hi Matt

My 8k has no interference or humming on that frequency.
So if it's a birdie, it seems not to concistent in all
8ks.
But wasn't there somthing with the 8ks, known as the
'floating birdie'.
I have no idea if that could be what you're seeing, but
probably somebody else will be able to shed a little light
on it ...

I accidentally sent reversed polarity down the power cord when I was using
my scanner in the car.Now, the power supply sees my scanner as a short and
heats up rapidly! The indicator light doesn't come on when I plug in
power,and the scanner won't work with plug in power.The scanner works fine
on the existing power in the battery pack,however.I opened the battery
pack,and nothing looks or smells burnt out,and the power cord checks out
ok.Is there something I can fix,or do I need a new battery pack? Or did I
damage my baby forever and it can't be fixed....Any ideas?

WELL A FEW THINGS COME TO MIND>  FIRST OF ALLO< AND THIS IS ONLY
SPECULATION SINCE I have no idea what kind of scanner it is, it is possible
that you may have fried a componant in the scanner it'sself but it would be
something between the scanner and the external supply.  The power from the
battery pack may come into the radio via a different path.  If it is a
supply that is designed to charge the battery pack while the scanner is
running then it might be a diode in the scanner which would be used to
controll the charging current.  If the power cord plugs into the battery
pack, then it's probably something in the pack it'sself.  Like I said
before, this is all speculation, but I don't think the scanner it'sself is
ruined.  You might try the new battery pack approach first.

The problem with most cordless phones is low audio. Even on the high
volume setting, most 900 MHz digital phones have low audio.
(This is especially true of the ATT phones.) I recently purchased a
Uniden 9200. I am very pleased with the performance and audio level.
The 9200 sells for $330.00.

Tim--
I've owned maybe 40 different scanners both handheld and desk top.  In
my opinion the absolutely best handheld is a Pro-43, although you will
be hard pressed to find it for your price.  They usually go for around
$300.  The next choice, frequently available at $200,  is the Pro-39.

The Pro-43 is the only handheld that I've  always kept at least one of

No, a frequency counter is a unit for measuring the actual frequency coming ou
t
of an oscillator. They are used to provide an instrument for adjustment of the

oscillator`s frequency. They have a digital gate (usually a flip-flop), and th
e
gate counts the incoming pulses. They are then displayed digitally on the
readout of the instrument.

Yes,Rat Shack can help you,I had the same problem.They will order whats
called a hardware kit,wich contains all the screws,brackets and so on the
go into the radio.I cant remeber what I paid,but it was somewhere between
5-10 bucks.

If you have any trouble with your local RS guys,let me know and I'll dig
up the baggie and get you a parts number.

Good luck.

I have a Pro-46, and a Pro-50.

I've seen all kinds of people post antenna ideas in here.  Some even
hooked up their unused TV antennaes to the scanners.

I have a cellular phone antennae (the ones that sit on the roof of your
car, with the little twist in the middle) and it seems to hook up ok.  Has
anyone tried this?

It works like a charm for my PRO-39, both VHF and UHF, not to mention much
improved reception in the 800MHz range.

I have a cell ant enna that I epoxied into a BNC connector that I put
on my BC-200XLT.....It definetly improves my cell phone reception,
but of course it diminishes reception on other frequencies, especially
the lower ones. It works OK on other higher freqs and repeater
signals....See Ya

I have found my cell phone antenna to perform better than the scanner
antenna I had on my car. It is too short for VHF low band, but work
as well or better from air freq and up. It's the only way to go for the
800-900 mHz band.

  Have never been to an airshow before... thought I'd take the AR8K along
and find out if there's anything worth hearing.

  Could someone point me to a site with freqs that will most likely be
used or at least suggest a search range and step increments to get me into
the ballpark...

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.  Thanx!

Jason,

This means REPEATER  inputs and outputs. On the output of the
repeater, you will hear both the Base(dispatcher) and the mobiles. On
the input, you hear only the mobiles. The repeater acts as a receiver
and takes the transmissions from the mobiles on the input channel and
re-broadcasts them to all users on the output channel.

Frequency pairs vary based on band used:

In the VHF Range, the inputs and outputs can be almost any frequency,
however there are certain "mobile only" frequencies mandated by the
FCC. On UHF (450-470) range, the inputs are 5 Mhz higher than the
Outputs. For UHF-T (470-512), the difference is 3 Mhz. and for 800
Mhz, the input frequencies are 45 Mhz LOWER than the outputs.

For example, a UHF Repeater operates on 453.50 Output frequency, the
mobiles' Input frequency will be 458.50. To receive both sides of the
transmission, you must tune to the Ouput (453.50).

The freq. plan for the mobile would be:

Transmit                458.50
Receive         453.50

However, the frequency for the Repeater will be:

Transmit                453.50
Receive         458.50

Hope this simplified explaination is helpful.

Joe

Since you didn't specify, I'll presume you're talking about public
service and HAM.

There are 2 reasons for this:

1) The system uses a repeater, whereby the transmitting radio sends on
an offset frequency (low power) to the repeater site, which then
re-broadcasts at a much higher power level.  the ofset is often 5MHz.

This system is extremely common in public service where hand-helds and
vehicle radios may not have adequate power.  It's also used where
terrain presents line-of-sight problems.

2) Some (fairly rare) radio systems use full-duplex, where any 2 units
can both transmit and recieve at the same time.  in order to do this,
2 frequencies must be used.

Mark

The truth as I percieve it to be.
Your perception may be different.

I was under the impression that a 50ohm coax (rg-8 or rg-58)is needed
for best reception on my scanner using a roof top antenna. But along
comes a handy little grove catalog, and inside it they say, quote:

"At vhf/uhf frequencies, common cb-type rg-58/U wiill actually absorb
signals. We recommend low loss rg-6..........

For lowest loss, use Belden 9913 or rg-11/U mini.

Dont be concerned with impedance, although your scanner is designed to
wrk with 50ohm cable, no antenna made maintains a constant impedance
over the wide frequency range of modern scanners. What you want is low
loss and 100%(or close to it) shielding." Unquote.

So which is right. Do I need 50ohm cable or not? Or should I just say
to hell with it and get the belden 9913.

You should be able to get RG6 free or very cheap from your local cable
TV company. Call them and ask if they have any end-of-reel pieces. They use
tons of it wiring cable to people's houses, and lots of short runs end up
in the trash/recycle bin.

It doesn't need to be 50 ohms.  Go with the RG6 or get some 9913 if you

There are two effects at work here.

1) impedance matching - The antenna / receiver both have 50 ohm
impedances, however they do vary with frequency. This is one of the
effects that cause  transmitters outside of its operating frequency
range to be 'unusable' (there are others which are beyond the scope of
this discussion). However within its band of operation the impedance
stays fairly close to 50 ohms. You should match the 50 ohms so that
as little power as possible is lost due to being reflected back at the
antenna due to cable missmatch.

2) LOSS AND NOISE PICKUP- once the signal is in the cable you want to
keep as much as possible there, keep external noise out and keep the
signal from being 'knocked down' due to passing through the cable.


SO YOU SHOULD
If you are going to operate over a wide range of frequencies, as in
the top frequency is 5 to 10 times (or more) the frequency on the low
end, operate the receiver with different antennas for different
ranges, (a shortwave antenna is not too good at 400MHz, and the 400MHz
antenna is useless at shortwave).  This ensures that the antenna is
well tuned to the frequencies in use and the impedance match is good.

Get cable that is low loss AT THE RANGE OF FREQUENCIES YOU WILL USE.
different cables are good at different frequency ranges, and no one
cable is perfect for all ranges.

Hi Ray, YES...

>> Can I download the contents of this newsgroup(locally to my own

my
Internet Service Provider?  I am using Netscapes V2.01 browser with its
own news reader and am using ibm.net as the news source. <<

I use OUI, found on the web at Dvorak/com. You can download a 30 free
trial, every 30 days...

If you like it, you can buy a proper version, also via the net.
Do a web search for dvorak/com.

It allows you to subscribe to as many newsgroups as you like.You
download the headers first. Offline you then browse the headers, mark
any of interest, and the next time you go online it will download new
headers, and any messages you have marked. It will also do all of your
email.

I have found it a lot easier to use than some of the others....

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. There is also a usenet at
Dvorak, and the latest OUI lets you add that as well....

Andy...

You can get it from the people who make it:

   http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.htm

Or from lots of other places:

   ftp://ftp.enterprise.net/pub/mirror/winsock-l/news/fagent10.zip

   ftp://mirrors.cu-online.com/pub/mirrors/winsock-l/news/fagent10.zip

   ftp://papa.indstate.edu/winsock-l/news/fagent10.zip

It's a fine piece of software and the commercial version is even better
(and a steal at only 29 bucks).

No connection to Agent/Free Agent (other than as unpaid beta tester).

Try scanning between 167.1 and 167.9 Also try 162.7-165  168.0-171 and
173-173.2...May as well just go between 162.7 and 173.2000. If you can
read ctcss tones look for anything using a 167.9 tone.167.5625 is the
nationwide car-car channel. Aircraft can be heard on 120.425. Good
luck.

I am selling a Radio Shack Frequency Counter that I bought about 3 months ago.
It is in *perfect* condition with original box and manual.  It has been used
MAYBE 5 times.  There is NO sign of any use and it even has brand new
alkaline batteries in it.

I paid $99.99 for it, and am willing to let it go for $75.00.  The reason why
I'm selling it is I finally got the cash together to buy a Opto Scout.

If you wanna do COD, I'll split the shipping costs and if you prepay, I'll
pay the cost of the shipping.

Serious inquiries only to [e-mail].

Use Netscape to DL 'Free Agent" or its big brother 'Agent' (not free).
Very good newsgroup software.
Unsure of location on WWW.  You can find it.

It really does not matter much what frequency the radio system is on, it
is how well the system is implemented that matters.  If you put enough
voting recievers and transmit sites up, a system on 800 Mhz will work
just as well as a system on 450 Mhz or 150 Mhz.  I work for Los Angeles
County and we went from a 3 site 450 Mhz system to a 7 site 800 Mhz
trunked system (EDACS) and the trunked system sucks!  Not because its "on
800", because the mountaintop sites, simulcast equipment etc was not
implemented correctly..    That's what matters.

Well, considering they are part of KSP,   453.300 and 453.450 are the
primary.

You'll hear WPxxx ant that designates Water Patrol.  The xxx will be the
unit number. I'll try to call Sammy and see if he will tell me the freqs.
Hell, he gave me the ones for Fish and Game, but they're really pretty
useless unless you want to listen to them report in to Frankfort as to
whether they are going to work or getting off work.  Most usually use the
county frequencies they are working.


Water Patrol does have frequencies programmed in for Grayson, Edmonson,
Hart, Barren, and Warren counties.

As to the frequency they use while on the water.  I don't know.   Sometime
when I up there, I'll take my frequency counter up there and see if I
catch something.

BTW: Radio Shack still sells the freq. counters, but they don't keep them
in stock, ya have to ask for them.  Remind me Wed. to bring mine.

Mike,

Do you mean trunking? The only agencies I know that use frequency
hopping technology is the US government/Military.

Is Miami and Miami Beach still using Motorola analog? I know a few
tricks for that format.

Finally, if you know what system Dade is using, that ay be of help.

It's rumored to be under $2,000.00.  Probably $1,999.99!  :)

The price here is 1459 UKP, inc tax. Having played with one, it seems a
very nice radio..

And it covers all the bands, we do not have such "big brother "

Jon-

The only thing I've heard, and it wasn't official, was someone from Universal
saying that it would be JUST
under 2000... 1949 or 1999 probably.

Does your spec sheet tell for sure what they've done about the cell bands? One
 person said that they were told
it would delete the 800-900 band again. I certainly hope not!

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, can anyone think of a reason why the

Gents,
  I am new to scanning and interested in getting a receiver that will
receive the PD, FD, rescue, portable phones, cel phones, etc.  I have
looked at the BC 860XLT and am thinking of getting it plus a ~$40 mod
for receiving cel freqs.  Is this a good idea or should I try to obtain
a receiver made before 94?  Your comments are appreciated.
Tnx, Jim

Well, for the radio linkup, you could use amateur radio packet, Mike. This
would be very advantageous , since some of the Amateur packet TNC (Terminal
Node Controllers) Now even employ data compression! A few even allow for direc
t
TCP/IP connection! (Kantronics). Also, compared to most of the commercial unit
s
that would do this job, the Amateur units are relatively cheap -- (in the
300-400 dollar range). Used units can be had even cheaper, and they don`t wear

out. Also, with most of the amateur units, you can use just about any terminal

program that you would use on the phone lines, so no need to buy software. Thi
s
scheme should work out admirably for you

Well, Grove is doing everyone a great service in recommending G & G.
I use Gerry at G& G exclusively for all my repair needs, and in my
opinion, there is none better.  His work is excellent, prices are
fair, and he stands by all his work.  He is a small operation, so the
turn around time is a bit slow, but this is good, as it's NOT an
assembly line, rush-rush operation.

Hello !

Im wondering if someone has the freqencies/bandplan for the UFO (UHF
follow on)satellites that is currently replacing FLTSATCOM. Both these
freqs and freqs for LEASAT and Marisat would be great to have.

Is there anyone that has a recording of traffic from milsats, I would
be glad for a short WAW file even with DVPtraffic.

Please mail me if you have any info on this !!

        've used an RS Discone, modified with an additional 36" center
verticle, for about a year now and am very pleased with its
performance.  Note that I used RG6 for the 90' feed.  Performance in
all bands in far and away better than the whip.  I can reach 200 miles
plus (not skip) in some directions if I want, as long as the freqs
aren't near the local power houses, which are as close as 10 miles.

It's mounted on 15' of mast atop my (apx) 25' roof, but I'm in a small
dip, so I'm really not much over the horizon.

Because it is matched to your radio or scanner for the frequencies
that it was intended.

I am going to assume that you are now hearing cordless phones with
your regular antenna off the back of the scanner for now. Though you
have not told us what frequency you are wanting to listen to. If it is
the older style phones you are intruding upon I.E. the 49 Mhz phones
then I would have to say that the R.S. discone is probably your worst
choice for an antenna. to receive those frequencies!

There are alll different kinds of coax! Good stuff and bad stuff.
Depending on the service you want to use it for. You have to look at
the DB loss per 100' which is what most coax is rated at.

1-Make sure the ground in no ways is touching the actual antenna portion
of the discone.  In short picture your antenna as being held up by air,
nothing should come between the elements of the antenna to the connection
of your scanner.

2-Odds are the commission boy at Radio Shack sold you RG-58/U coax.
RG-58/U sucks at any legnth over 3 ft.(In my opinion however), If your
funds permit go back to radio shack and pick youself up a coil of
RG-6.(The same type used for cable TV).  First, it costs a hell of a lot
less than RG-58/U, and second, the loss per ft. is extremely minimal.  You
will also need to get the connecters to adapt the RG-6 ends to a PL-259 or
BNC since RG-6 is a thinner coax.  Yes bending should be kept to a
minimal, but coax disected is pretty tough.  My teeth know!

3-It is documented that the Radio Shack discone has deficency when
recieving on low band 30-50Mhz.  I do not use this antenna, so I can not
contest to its efficiency.

Hopefully these tips help you in your quest for ultimate scanning, and
others alike who find this info useful.

E-mail if you have questions.

What the dispatcher means when saying "No wants NCIC." Means that the tag
isn't wanted for anything, but they haven't run the inquiriy for the
registration.  Depending on the local computer system, the dispatcher may
have to run an additional inquiry for out of state registration.

They probably don't bother running lots of out of state tags for
registration because:

NCIC is a database of Wanted Persons, Vehicles, Plates, Articles etc, plus
a database of criminals supported by fingerprint submissions by individual
police agencies throughout the country.  NCIC maintained by the FBI, but
the data is input by individual law enforcement agencies.

The NCIC database is accessed by the NLETS (National Law Enforcement
Telecommunication System) whose switcher is located in Arizona.  The NLETS
system has all law enforcement agencies tied into it, as well as the motor
vehicle database of each state and the criminal history files of each
state.  When a officer in California runs an Oregon reg plate, the message
is directed to the state switcher, then to Arizona, then to Oregon.  The
return message take takes the same route.  Law Enforcement had a Web long
before the WWW.

Some police agencies, to simplify things, just say negative NCIC, meaning
no wants or warrants, even when referring to the local state database as
well as the Federal database.

I'm looking at my Uniden BCT-7 Scanner. It has a Date of Mfg. of 011E
can someone tell me what the date actually is?

Also, there is a metal cover soldered to the board covering something.
Anybody have any ideas on what they might be?

And where can I get a service manual for this scanner?

Thank you,

I have the 2006 and the 456 - I love it. don't know about the
other.....most people seem to be big on the PROBE software....I have
the latest windows version of the Scan Star....and have no major
problems (there is this annoying bug that sometimes when you start the
program, it shows channels locked out, when it has actually reset the
lockout list......but if you set everything up good, a few mouse
clicks and you are back!)

It was very easy to install in the scanner. Took about 20 minutes.

And after I used this contraption for just a little while....I don't
know how I got along without it. It's just that much easier to operate
the scanner....and the windows version of scanstar has this nifty
floating bar that is "always on top" so you can pause, lockout, exit,
and resume scanning" with the program minimized.

like now - I can keep this window open, and control the scanner with
just a click - and the little popup shows the frequency, name, and any
sub audible tones....

I am curious as to how well PROBE works.....as so many people like
it...I may have to get the trial version and see.....

Jim-

You really won't make a mistake either way. I have both the 2042 and 2006 with
 interfaces, and they work
substantially the same.

The 2006 is a _little_ easier to install as you don't have to cut a hole in th
e back panel of the radio. I'm
also told that the 2006 (actually the OS456 interface) has a little more stabl
e tone reader if you're
interested in doing CTCSS tone squelch and the like. I am using Probe software
, which is supposed to correct
for this problem, so I can't really comment.

Have fun, whichever way you decide to go!

Ken

The weather info is being broadcast on both 162.400 & 162.550 where the 162.40
0
has more Olympic direct broadcasts for the Atlanta area.  There does not appea

to be any additional frequncies used for just the Olympic weather from what I

Hi, All,
IN L.A. during the 1984 Olympics, the National Weather Service
has a special Olympic weather station, with international and L.A.
information--in English and  French on 162.475.
Anyone in Atlanta know if one has  been set up there, or anyone
willing to search 162.4-162.55, and see if you find anything different
in the Atlanta area?
If so, please email your findings to me and/or this newsgroup. Thaks.

I'm looking for the freqs they are using at the Orange County Fair in
Costa Mesa, Ca.

The only clues I have are

1) Some of them have "California Public Safety" printed on the back of
their shirts.

2) They aren't in the 460-470 range.

3) They have a sticker on their radios that say "BEARCOM" and now
freqs or colored stickers on the back of the radios.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I know that the Sheriffs are using GREY channel at the fair.

You can't restore what does not exist. If the scanner did not have the
ability to receive 200 Mhz etc. in the first place, you can't add it. The
reason that cellular can often be restored is that the unit was built with
the ability and then had it "crippled." You're basically out of luck.

At least some of their cars have cell phones and since there

cell phone is *not* very secure.
Also try searching Alta Vista for scanner frequencies.  There

The last time I talked to K&L, about 3 months ago, they had no plans for
FLEX.
When did this change, and do you have any details?
What will the max baud rate be?  How much will the software cost?  Are
they going to publish specs., so we can write our own software?
One of the problems I had with their previous product, was that it didn't
do what I wanted.

**********************************************************************
I have had considerable experience with Pawn Shops.  There are two
classes of pawn shops, satellites of large chains, e.g., Cash America, and
there are independent shops.  Independent shops are locally owned and
are usually capable of being realistic.  The owner is usually in the
shop once daily.  The owner will usually deal.  The large chain stores
usually have a limited variance for prices and policies.  I have
stopped my shopping at the large chain stores.  When I did shop at
them, I found that there was a manager on duty at all times.  Only
the manager had authority to adjust prices in a significant manner.
Strongly recommend that you call the shops in the Yellow Pages and
identify the independent (locally owned) shops.  If you want a
particular item, call them once weekly.  A useful guide for pricing is
that the pawned item should NEVER cost more than half of the new price.
Half of new price is a starting point.  If they insist on half of new
price or more, forget it as it is false economy to buy it.  You should
buy it new at a discount store or through a discount mail order house.
Money back guarantees are also very desirable.  Remember that the
economy is poor and you can operate on the premis that nobody has any
money.  You may be the only customer that considers an item during a
period of several weeks.

I have always been treated well at independent pawn shops and I can't
enough good things about them.

Has anyone ever had a good experience with a pawn shop when seaching for
scanner or CB equipment?  I went shopping this weekend, and found Phx
area pawn shops to be terribly overpriced.  At one, they had an old 23
ch. CB for $50.  I found the same one at a thrift store for $5.  This
same pawn shop had a 10ch 10 Band uniden for $99: The same price I found
for a new one at Sears.

What really gets me is that they refuse to come down on price!  At
another pawn shop, I found a set of Realistic 3 channel handheld CBs
which RadShack sells for $30 new.  He had $75 on them!!  When I told him
that RS had them for $30, he did not believe me until he called RS.  Then
he lowered his price to $40!

Are these guys stupid, greedy or both?  They obviously do not know the
value of their radio equipment...

I did a point-of-sale system for a small chain of pawn shops and I was
somewhat surprised to find that they made more on people looking for
good deals than they did from charging 30% per month in interest. In
fact they had a thriving retail operation going where they would buy
stuff from wholesalers and resell it through the pawn shop.

As a rule they don't have a good idea on the value of their stock
which is why they will usually only give you 20% or so of the value on
a pawn.  There are exceptions where some dealers will specialize in a
specific area -- usually jewelry or firearms, but for the most part
they can't be experts on most of the stuff they take in on pawn.

I bought a BC-855xlt for $75. The attena connection and speaker connection
had to be re-soldered, but I did it at home. I still don't know if it was
a good deal?  It has 50 channels, preprogrammed Weather stations, and
800MHZ - but no cellular.  Two questions: Did I get a good deal?  Can it
be modified?

Does anyone out there know how to modify the Radio Shack Pro-2021 scanner so
that it will pick up the blocked bands?  I have read a couple of articles on
it but have been unable to get it to work.  We have tried disconnecting D44
and D45, installing a couple of 10k ohm resistors on the low side, but nothing

seems to work.  Help!

I picked a Pro 2022 up at a pawn shop for 90.00 the other day and I very
seldom see any information on this scanner in the newsgroups. I restored
the cell frequencies and with the help of a friend replaced the crystal
oscillator to speed up the scan rate and it works just fine. Bill Parnass
mentioned that he submitted an article to MT to be published in September
with a few mods and hopefully a review about this forgotten scanner.

I use it in conjunction with my 2004 and it seems to be a reliable
performer. If you own a 2022 please post some comments for the newsgroup.

Thanks

yes I too bought one for about the same price in a ad I saw it was
already modded for the cell & speedup mod..the only thing I noticed
was that when you look at the display the little - blinking curser now
blinks real fast is this because of the crystal mod??? thanks...

I just bought my first scanner, and it was the Pro-25.  I knew I wouldn't get
cell phones or milair, but hey, it *was* on sale for $185 (reg. $269).  I spen
t
an hour or so programming in all the kewl freq's last night (gee, I kept
entering 'em wrong...must need bigger buttons, eh?<g>) and then spent the rest

of the evening enjoying the action.  Even with that little rubber whip antenna
,
I was picking up sherriff, township and city activity from the next County ove
r
(hmmm, lots of activity in the ward last night...).  In short, sure it's got
gaps, no I probably can't mod it, but hey, it does what I want it to and the
price was right!  Now if I can talk my wife into letting me pick up a used
Pro-2006....

Good luck!

John

Can anyone give me any information on the Pro-50, 20 Channel scanner from
Radio Shack. I bought one and I'm interested in how much the accesories
run. If anyone knows anything, please let me know.

   Hi No-Name,

   Let me know if it works.

    KEYBOARD ONLY MODIFICATION!!!!
    ------------------------------

  1.  Peass and hold {2} & {9} & {LOCKOUT}} & turn ate radio on.
  2.  Step to channel 23 to display 888.960 MHz (a factory test frequency)
  3. Press {UP} or {DOWN} search arrow to scan the band.
      You may store up to 10 active frequencies by pressing {MONITOR}.

    TO STORE A SELECTED FREQUENCY FOR SCANNING (SEARCH STARTING POINT)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

  1.  Step to the Monitor channel you wish to store.
  2. Press {PROGRAM} & the desired memory channel number.
  3. Press {PROGRAM}, {MONITOR} {ENTER}


    That's it, let me know if it works. This mod came out of "Radio Teck Mods"
.

   Good luck,
               Boyd

I wasn't taking stabs in the dark when I concluded that the CPU was
shot. I'm quite versant with with microcontrollers too. Trust me when
I tell you I had gone over the obvious before concluding that the CPU
was at fault. Correct supply voltages were all present, suspect solder
joints were re-sweated, crystal was changed twice...I even breadedboarded
the CPU on a piece of pc board with a crystal, a reset circuit, required
pins were tied appropriately and there was no sign of life.
Then I "think about CPU"  !

You should guy it right under the antenna, on the mast. The guy wires will be
125% of the height of the mast, Jack. You will need three equally-spaced guy
wires, spaced out from the base of the mast 85% of the height of the mast. Use

good heavy guy wire, usually available at local hardware store.

Mine does ok, no complaints. The Opto products may be a bit better but I
got mine cheaper. Somebody ordered it and decided they didn't want it
after all so I got it at cost.


I added the hold button to mine, don't remember where I saw the mod
posted, but it is capable of having one added.

Purchase it from Javiation in England. Excellent service. I got mine some
time time back - works well and with full coverage. Cost will be less than
your local RS also (unless they are on special which I havn't seen).

There web site is http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/

I have a favor to ask of the 'groupies of rec.radio.scanner...
I was wondering if anyone could give me specifications on the radio shack
line of scanners... specifically the Pro-39 and Pro-43...
I went to my (4!) local radio shacks and asked for specs... they couldn't
tell me anything... they said to go look in their little book thingys...
and (no surprise here after the 2nd store) all 4 stores were mysteriously
missing the scanner sections out of their communications/radio booklet
thingy...
so if anyone could give me specs, or point me to a site where they have specs
listed, I would be thankful!

        Turn on the scanner while holding down the 2, 9, and Lockout keys.
This puts in some of the test frequencies.  Go to channel 23 and use direct
scan to get the frequencies locked out of the 800 mHz band.

I was just looking at buying a shortwave radio..but I would rather have a
scanner.. My question is...can you get sw stations (like radio talk shows
and the like) on a scanner if you know the proper freq. and if your
scanner can handle it?

I would prefer Email <[e-mail]> but anything will be appreciated.

Thanks

Erik

Folks,


My area public service agencies are moving to 800mhz trunked system. I
have a scanner capable of reaching those frequencies.. but don't know
where to begin as far as listening to them or finding out what they are.

Have access to a radio shack frequency counter meter if that could help
nail down the frequencies.

Thanks.

There is a story that has been reported many times in the magazines,
that a UK police operator broadcast a message to the effect that a
UFO had been seen in a field nearby. When several scanner users
turned up to have a look, they were arrested for listening to police
transmissions illegally.
I was apparently a trap. I don't know if the story is true, but it
has been repeated often over the last couple of years.

The 200XLT was "finished" several years back...hence no 200XLT on their web
page.

The 220XLT is the nearest direct replacement which features the same
frequency coverage all in a new case. ASFAIK the 230XLT is the original 220XLT
 package
with an additional spare battery pack included.

In a similar way the 120XLT replaced the 100XLT - coverage similar as above
but no 760MHz+

Its sold in Japan as the Standard AX400. I beleive Standard in the USA
chose not to "bring it into" the States, whether this will change I dunno ?

The "WELZ" name is being used by the Diamond Antenna Co.

I would also like some info on this SMALL scanner!

For a compromise, there is also what is called the "poor mans hardline"
available from the Wireman in SC.  [phone].
It is CQ-4XL with either solid center conductor or "Flexi" stranded
center conductor to go around a rotor.  Call them for info.  They also
have a WIREBOOK that gives good info about RF grounding, lightning
protection, etc.
Hope this helps!

Well put!!  That's why I have refused to own a cordless phone (it should
be MY responsibility to protect my privacy when I am broadcasting to the
world), and warned my wife about scanners when she wanted one.  We now
have one, but do not use if when we want to discuss "confidential"
information.

I too could care less about listening to cellular calls...  It is a
matter of principle....

When the band is open, I hear all sorts of illegal transmissions on these

I've got an AT&T 9300. I can only get half way to the bagel shop. :-)
Still, range is *much* improved over the old 46-49MHz one I had.

The newer Escort Courier 9600 advertises it gets "Up to 2600-foot range
(1/2 mile)", but I have no direct experience. You can get a copy of their
mini-catalog by calling 1-800-433-3487 24 hours/7days. Their lesser models
(or older models) advertise similar range at better prices.

Hello Direct, another reputable outfit, sells a remote 900 MHz antenna for
$60  on a 30-foot cable you could mount higher for increased range. You
can reach them at 1-800-444-3556 or <http://www.hello-direct.com/>.

"Sidetone" can be a problem with these phones. That's you hearing your
voice in your ear a bit loudly as you talk. That bothers some people a
lot, others not at all. If you think it will bother you, attempt to try
one out before buying or get a return privilege. They're expensive phones.

I would strongly urge you to get a spread spectrum model for your own
security. I can get my phone on the scanner, but only as a hiss.

No connection to anybody who sells such things other than as customer.

I have a Uniden 9200 Digital Spread Spectrum Phone and get a range
greater than one block.

There are several factors to consider:

1. What is the size of a block. My interpretation may not be the same as
   yours.

2. Placement of the base unit. For better range place the base unit next
   to a window but avoid direct sunlight.

If no water has gotten inside, then it's probably ok...BUT...electrical
tape is not a good seal...better choices are...
1.silicone sealant
2.coax-seal
3.the special type of heat-shrink tubing that has a flowable

Don't use hot-melt glue, even though you may be tempted to do so-it will
not maintain a good seal under field conditions.

   All those are very good, but expensive for a one-shot repair job.  I
   love heat-shrinkable tubing...but the size for coax isn't available
   everywhere.

   A less expensive, just-as-good weather seal, is an inner wrapping of
   rubber tape (the uncured kind, still found in do-it-yourself stores
   such as OSH, Orchard Supply and Hardware).  Over that, wind friction
   tape (the old sticky-cloth kind, also available at OSH and others)
   under tension, covering the inner rubber tape ends.  I've operated
   VHF and UHF r/t in the U.S. Army that way and the wrappings have been
   true even when immersed in water.

   A tear on any coax cable's outer insulating jacket doesn't affect
   sensitivity or anything else.  The jacket covering is there primarily
   to keep the outer conductor from corroding.

John,

        It's funny you mention that.  I've just been recently getting more
involved with monitoring Pittsburgh International.  I'm interested in the
responses to your questions as well.  Usually, after I hear a plane taxi,
they say, "Call the tower on 119.1".  Once I switch to 119.1, I usually hear
the same plane...  Hopefully someone can provide a radio flowchart of sorts
for takeoff and landing.  I need a better antenna and maybe a signal preamp
as picking up the airport is rough.  Although at night, I get clearer signals.
I'm about 22 miles northwest of the airport.

I'd be interested in seeing what freq's you have too.

Keith

Does anybody have an updated status of which carriers permit the use of
handheld scanners on domestic/international flights?

I know that Delta DOES allow their use upon reaching cruise altitude.
They must be turned off during taxi, takeoff, approach and landing.
Personally, I think that they can be used without a problem during all
aspects of commercial flight.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I think the one and only point is SAFETY.  Electronic devices emit

>Why dont we see this from the airline pilots point of view. (As I am an airli
ne pilot I guess this counts). During drparture, regardless of
weather is it VMC or IMC, I am relying on radio nav to assist me in any
type of operation. It is my PRIMARY sourse of situational awareness
information. + or - 10 degrees is unacceptable especially when the system
we are using is supposed to be only + or - 1 degree(for example). This is
because we are not the only one out there and we are required to be where
we are supposed to be to ensure separation between us and all of the
other aircraft using the same route. In reality, a scanner or something
usually will not screw things up. However lets say that your buddy brings
a lousy radio with a really noisy oscillator on the airplane which has a
harmonic right even with the Glideslope or Localizer freq. Bet you
wouldnt like the result.
As far as who lets you use radios on board the aircraft that is entirely
up to the captain. He has the authority to approve that on a case by case
basis.
As to your last comment.....The need for safety is EVER PRESENT and
should never be compromised no matter what the WX conditions are. You may
be a risk taker, but I am not.

Dave,
Set your search limits from 108.0 to  137.0

not sure of steps though

122.0 flight watch
122.2
122.6
122.55
122.3 all fss freqs
120.9 PWM airport
114.8 BGR VOR (Hiwas)
let me know if these help (if nor I'll send others)

P.S. I live in HERMON, on approach path to BGR Airport, It's great!

No real serious complaints.  I love the thing. After owning one for
almost 2 years I have some general comments.

1) Antenna that comes with it is a compromise.  Get Austin Condor from
Grove, I myself got a Diamond RH77CA antenna.  You will be much happier
with a better antenna.

2) Battery life good but not outstanding.  When batteries (alkaline or
rechargeable) start to die, audio makes annoying rasping sound.

3) Car lighter charging can make NiCd's hot.

4) Rubber knobs are mushy.  Easily cured with elec tape applied to metal
shafts which gives them a more positive rotational feel.

5) Hard to tell position of top knobs visually.  Easily cured by using
some sparingly applied white silicone caulk to just one knurn on vol and
squelch knob.

6) Scanner resets itself if a passed (locked out) channel is loaded into
the VCO accidentally.  Does not erase frequencies though, thank god.

7) Vulnerable without the case.  Get the leatherette case.

8) LCD panel viewing angle is narrow.  Washes out if viewed from any of
the 4 sides.

Still a terrific radio.  Get one, learn it, thank me later.

Mike

I was talking ot a dealer who was selling foem for $210, and he said that AOR
has a new 2900 coming out very soon, and that will replace the 2700.
Personally, I'm waiting for the AOR Tornado....It's out in Japan, but under a
different name.

You can purchase new knobs which are a lot harder and the inside walls are
thicker from EDCO for about a dollar a piece.  Don't use glue...You'll
never get them off and there is oil leakage from the shafts.

I had a similar problem with other equipment that I had. I looked for some
metal knobs to replace them with and that seemed to do the trick.

Does anyone have any information regarding the various VRx resistors
and the four accessible switches inside the AOR AR3000 (not the A
model). I'm interested in seeing if I can make this second (third,
fourth...) hand beast I've received a little faster on searching....

Contact EDCO in Vienna, VA.  They are the US supplier, and should have
those numbers.  Some order from Javiation in the UK, and their link is:

Good luck!  I believe the "Official"  Ar8000 interface is the AR8000INF
and costs about $79.

I've not been into this particular unit, but have worked on many units
that use both battery and wall wart supplies.

It is common in these units to have a reverse polarity protection
diode right at the wall wart supply input.  When presented with a
reverse polarity supply of adequate current, the diode will short.

This matches your symptoms.  Look for the diode very near the dc jack.
It will read a nearly dead short in both directions.  Replace and
you're back in business.  Note:  it is unlikely an visual evidence
will be found.

Mark

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception may be different.

Sounds like a cracked soldered joint where the power socket is
mounted on the board, I have had that problem a number of times. I
probably just needs resoldering, if you can get to it easily.

I use the $60.00 discone from Radio Shack and it rules.  Really, any of
the higher discones from scanner world or such or R/S work really good.
Mine's on the roof and my reception on all bands is excellent.  It's easy
to good replacement radials etc. from R/S too.

Hi,

Bucks County PA will be migrating to a trunking system soon. I hear
plans are to trunk their existing 501 Mhz frequencies. I am not sure
of the timeframes for implementation nor the system/format that will
be used.

Also,

The repeaters in the 460 Mhz range are licensed to individual Fire
Companies. For example, 460.625 repeats several low band channels. I
am not sure of the reasoning behind the repeaters.

Could they be link channels, linking control room to hilltop low band
sites as a backup to landline links.

It does not seem that way.  I lived in NH for 6 years where links were
very popular and this just 'does not seem' the same.

460. 625 / 94.8 is used to retransmit ALL traffic on the Bucks County
Fire 'South' Band of 46.20 AS WELL AS ALL dispatches from 46.10!
I can hear this 460.625 site for about a 60 mile radius!!  By the way,
the 46.20 traffic overrides the 46.10 traffic when they conflict.

460.5875/97.4 is used to transmit all traffic on the Bucks Count
'East' band of 46.06 but does not transmit any 46.10 dispatches.

506.3875/100.0 is used to transmit all traffic on the Bucks County
'West' band of 46.12 and again does not repeat dispatches from 46.10.

460.600/141.3 is also in use by Northampton Fire Stations 3 and 73 but
does not seem to repeat/link anything yet - just lots of chit-chat.

Hi-

There are several scanners on the market that have computer control interfaces
 built in, including the AOR 8000
 and 2700 handhelds, and the 3000 base, as well as the Icom 9000, 7100 and 700
0 base units.

You can also add computer control to the Radio Shack 2005 and 2006 by buying a
n interface from Optoelectronics
called the OS 456, and the Radio Shack 2035 and 2042 (still current models) wi
th the OS 535. This is probably
the cheapest way to go, and gives overall the best results.

You'll also need software to run whatever radio you choose... I like Probe for
 the optoscan interfaces, and
Scanstar for the others...

The quality is excellent, and the computer can do things that you just can't d
o with a normal scanner.

Good Luck.

Ken

I was wondering if any one knew what the correct antena length was for
the railroad frequencies from 160.110 to 161.565 megahertz.

Is there a formula to calculate this (I'm sure there is)?

Thanks,
Marc Chouinard

The length of the antenna will be in FEET, not INCHES and of course it will be
in a decimal format  I.E.  2.879 ft for the Noah frequency of 162.55 mhz

Hi all,

        Just wondering if, in the manner of the frequency inversion decoder
available now for the AR8000, a CTCSS add-on looms on the horizon? Any info
earns bonus air miles :^) .

Thanks,

It works great to reduce the times your scanner stops on
"dead carriers," too, snce they rarely encode CTCSS!  An
excellent feature.

Well, let's see how best to answer this, vince.

Stand up and face the wall.
Lift your left hand to eye level, palm towards you.
Lift your right hand to eye level, palm towards you.
look at your left hand, then look at your right  hand
Your left hand is direct current.
Your right hand is light.
everything in between your left and right hands is the electromagnetic
spectrum.  When someone says they can recieve everything from dc to
light, it means that they have a VERY good radio reciever :-}

Exactly correct. The digital radios in use by most federal agencies  employs
DES encryption. It's more than rumor - nearly everyone around Atlanta is using

DES (except for non-sensitive agenices like the GSA, BOP or the NPS).
Strangely, though, the DEA around here is 'in the clear' quite often. My
'close source' in the FBI (OK, my dad) tells me that agents will go clear
because the range while in scrambled mode is reduced signicantly.

For practical purposes, DES is unbreakable (though the folks on the
cypherpunks mailing list are rumbling about trying to mout a distributed
attack on it).

Cheers,

Jay Q.

Jim,

        The address phone was posted in another reply, let me know if you didn't
get it, and I'll resend.  Just wanted to give you the URL. http://www.
minicircuits.com.  It's currently down (as of Wed Jul 24) but talking with
them on the phone, they said they are working on getting it back online.
I called them and they were more than happy to send me out a catalog. I am
looking forward to checking that out...

I now have a complete frequency list from .2 Mhz to 23.4 Ghz for all
of Nova Scotia.  It took me about 60 hours to get this list done.  I
had to go though 105 Megs of text to end up with 1 Meg. of text for
Nova Scotia.  I will send anyone a copy for $ 10.00 cdn (including
disk and shipping)  The disk is a 3.5 "  type.  It has everything on
it from drive-thru frequencies to all repeater in and out frequencies
as well.  If you are serious about getting your own copy, then Email
me and I will give you my postal address.

The local city dispacher here in Ames Iowa was informing the officer
on the nature of the call he was en route to.

"The gentleman claims that his neighbors are beaming hypnotic messages
throught the wall of their apartment into his apartment."

The officer either missed the first transmission or thought it funny
because he asked her to repeat it again.

This was heard the first week I had my scanner.  My wife could not
believe it :)

I heard the state police the other dispatch a unit to investigate a
complaint of a person riding a bike while they were drunk.  The
dispatcher was trying to be discreete when she gave the discription of
the person as "wearing a white hat".  After several inquires by the
responding unit the dispatcher finally said that the white hat was the
only thing that the rider was wearing.

Here's two more cents:

Local fire department was dispatched to a medical emergency.  (Routine
FD response is an ambulance and a paramedic engine.)  After dispatch
comes a report on the nature of the emergency.

Dispatcher:  'Mother states the baby is acting lethargic in its
sleep.'

I have a couple of amusing things to mention.

Firstly while I was bussy with some DIY at home, I had my scanner
on listening to a woman on a cordless telephone set,
she had been talking to her friend for at least an hour.
Then I herd her tell her friend that she would not come and
visit her for a while, because of the traveling costs.

( Think about this one. If her friend is far enough away to
worry about the travel costs, then how much has an hour long
phone call over this distance just cost her. I suppose this
is femanine logic at its best ).

Another thing I found amusing was a few years ago when I
tuned into the Red Arrows display frequency, while they
were putting on a display at the Biggin Hill Air Fair.

Most of the instructions would be short and sharp.

Things like
LEFT
BREAK
CLIMB
etc. etc.
Then all of a sudden I would hear.
"WWWHOOOOOPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!"

I suppose those display teams must have some fun.

Bye Bye now.

Richard.

        Oh, sorry.  It was a long time ago so I didn't even
think it mattered.  The officer had a small scalp cut.  I
never found out if it was related to the pursuit or if it
was an accidental injury.

Several years ago a sheriff's deputy call dispatch to have Fish and

somebody's back yard.  When dispatch told him to stand by at that
location and await fish and game his reply was "That's 10-4, be advised

I have a couple of old Bearcat scanners that I'd like to get fixed (BC300,
BC260, and BC210XL). I remember reading a while back about a company that
fixed older BC scanners for a flat fee (maybe it was even Uniden?). Any info
is appreciated! Thanks!

You'd do better buying Howard Borenstein's book on the AR-1000 family.
He still sells them and you can get in touch with him through his

As far as I know, no RS 400 ch scanner (Pro-2004,5,6, 2035 or 2042) can be
modified for those ranges.  The 520 to 760 is TV audio and video, so not
much there to hear anyway.  Below 25 MHz the reception would be poor
because the thing isn't tuned to "hear" that low.

BTW, each scanner is a bit different from the others, so best thing to do
is to identify exactly which one you have when you have a question.

Hi all.

I have a 400 channel "Realistic" scanner that covers
25-520 and 760 to 1300 Mhz.

I head some time ago that it is possable to modify it to
get the gap from 520-760 and possably frequencies
below 25mhz.

No urgency, just interested if anyone knows how to do this,
or any other Mods. I'd like to try it some day.

Richard.

Need some ideas on installs of mobile scanners... Where the hell do I put

mounting bracket for the car to hold my scanner (RS Pro 2026).

Ideas?

> I have a 94 Taurus with same problem - my solution was to pull the ash
tray (since I neither smoke nor allow anyone else to in the car) and used
the cig lighter power to supply the scanner.  The advantage here is that
you can use the pre-drilled/tapped holes to secure the mounting brack and
can replace the ash tray when you trade the car.

Oops, it seems I confused Bill Cheek with Bob Parnass. My mistake. Oh

I'm new to the KC area and would like any info on police/fire/med freqs for
the metro, Johnson County in particular.

Thanks in advance!

Why in the world do you want to listen to digital hash?

You will probably not find such a beast intended for US sale do to
frequency conflict/allocation with broadcast.

Trying to decode RC?

From what I've been told, it will be up in the 800-900 MHz area, most
likely with trunking but I'm not shure how they are going to set up
the trunks yet.

Later,

    In northern Georgia, NOAA operates on 162.55 for the metro Atlanta area
and on 162.40 for the Rome/Dalton (north Ga.) area, both originating out of
the Peachtree City office. Both are including reports for each venue along
with the normal broadcasts for their areas. There does not appear to be any
additional station for the Olympics, although NOAA is running a special
operation with short-range, localised info for the venue management and media.

G'day Dave, How would you be?

When I lived in Auckland, There were about 6 - 8 freques in regular
use. _ I seem to remember that most of the NZ police were in the 70 -
72 mhz segment. - I converted an old Pye (NZ) Galaxie to the freqs -
somewhare I still have all the xtals, Lord knows where they are now
though.  - I had a quick search through some old papers & came across
the Galaxie Circuit, but I didn't make a note of the freqs on the
papers - sorry...

SIB and Armed Offenders Squad used the same band but simplex low
power.

This info is 18 years old, so they could be anyware!! Happy hunting.

Love to Aeteoroa - I miss the Long White Cloud.....

Hello, does anybody know what frequency Ontario Provincial Police (OPP)
Air Units operate on (both helicopters and fixed-wing)?  I have an old
computerized frequency list for Ontario that lists 42.0 MHz as "O.P.P.
Air."  Would anyone be able to tell me if that frequency is still valid
after the upgrade to the new VHF-high system a while back?  I have been
monitoring that frequency for almost a year now and have heard nothing.
Is it possible that they use the CommCentre frequencies or a new
frequency?  Anyone with info. please e-mail me or post here.

One last thing.  The OPP used to have two helicopters at the Brampton
Training Academy.  Does anyone know if these are still in use at Brampton?

Any responses will be greatly appreciated.

I had an idea for connecting a scanner to the sound card of a PC.  There are a
number of things I think this could accomplish even if the scanner was
no controlled by the PC and if it was all the better.  I realize some things
might require offline analysis by the software looking over a recording file
while others might be done real time.  Has anyone seen something like this out
there.  (If not maybe this will start some discussion).

1) PC could act as VOX recorder, so later you can come back and listen to
   only the highlights, recorded audio on the disk.  If frequency knowledgable
   they could be separated into different audio streams, hits could be
   accumulated etc.

2) PC could determine CTCSS of incoming audio and display CTCSS freq or use
freq
   as lookup to indicate known users of RF frequency.  It may even be
   possible in real time to filter and alarm based on CTCSS that you want
   brought to your attention.

3) PC could decode touch tones, digital data, and other pager tones converting
   them to display (numbers or pager addresses).
   Additionally (for those who have a way to get something on the air...like
   calling your own pager or using a hand held radio/your own cordless phone)
   a lookup table could be used to:
     o Start programs
     o Perform other control functions for the scanner itself.
     o drive other PC driven devices (X10, modems etc).

Any other thoughts out there ??

/Jim

                  PD (POCSAG Decoder) Version 2.02
                  --------------------------------

         **** Announcing the release of PD version 2.02 ****

PD is an MS-DOS program for decoding POCSAG paging transmissions on an IBM
PC or equivalent, 80286 processor or later.

PD requires a simple interface between the audio output of a scanner or
receiver and a COM port on the PC. This is described in the documentation
file.

VERSION 2.02    July 1996

* Fixed problem causing poor decoding when running on some motherboards -
  particularly Pentium systems.
* Fixed problem with buffer overflow, caused by receiving long pages -
  this could cause strange behaviour or exit to DOS.
* Fixed bug whereby PAUSE did not work properly (introduced in 2.01)


PD is distributed as shareware. The shareware version has a 5 - minute
timeout and does not log to disk, or output messages serially. Upgrade to
the full version is by a key file available from the author on
registration, which costs 20 Pounds Sterling.

Registered users of PD may unlock version 2.02 using their existing
.KEY file.


PD 2.02 may be downloaded from the following sites:-

I will be listing for sale an early Radio Shack PRO-2006 that has cell
capabilities.  It is unmodified and in mint condition.  I am looking
for opinions of what price I should ask for the unit.  I will also be
open to trade for vintage wristwatches (Swiss).  Your advice please.

I tracked the sales of more than 30 of these scanners in the past year of
so. The asking price range was $275 to $450 for a mint-conditioned scanner
with box etc. The average selling price is $325 (many of the people who
have sold at that price have claimed to me that the units were either new
or like new).

If anyone wants to see the used scanner price guide, go to
www.ultranet.com/~bellvill (Rob Belleville'scanner page). He's also got my
computer-aided scanning FAQ there.

If you've sold or bought a scanner lately, let me know the model and the
price. I'll use the info to update my price guide, which I haven't done in
about three months.

I recently bought a PRO-25 scanner.  Is it possible to modify this unit
for additional frequencies in the 200-500mhz range?  How about in the
800's and 900's?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Actually, you can sort of pick up cell. freqs with the Pro-25.
Between 896.1125 and 921.0000, you can pick up the image freqs of the
cell calls.  The quality isn't all that good, and most of the time,
you can only hear 1/2 the coversation, but you can pick it up.  This
is on the Canadian model, so I don't know if the U.S. model can do
this.

I have the Pro-49 (rare edition) which was quickly discontinued by
Radio Shack. They now have the SAME radio (same looks, same size,
same buttons, same everything, except for features) under the name
Pro-24. Here are the differences:
Pro-49 Has 10 channels, Pro-24 has 16 channels, Pro-49 does not
cover the 800 MHz, and Pro-24 does cover 800MHz. Question: Since
the radio's are both the same and they were only modified
internally by Radio Shack to provide these 2 extra features, does
anyone know of any modifications that would enable me to bring
these features out?

I just grabbed a PRO-50 the other day, and I noticed that the rig doesn't
beep to keyboard commands whatsoever.  Does the thing simply not beep or
is there some super-secret way to enable and disable the beeps?

This "nincompoop" has encountered it twice !
It must have been the micro...the clock was not functioning
,no serial data on the PLL and display programming lines and when
the CPU WAS replaced, the scanner came to life.
Hmmm...must have been my imagination.

Just do what I do. Say, 'This is a cash sale.' or 'Thank you, but I don't

The only way to actually restore full 760-1300MHz coverage for keyboard
entry is replace the CPU. 55-760MHz cannot be restored.

Thanks in advance!

Well, I was trying to make a point about how obnoxious the whole thing
really was... I guess that did not come across as I intended. My
apologies.

I don't disagree that there is a place for "reasonable" advertising.
Optoelectronics, Computer-Aided technologies and other reputable firms
sometimes post short messages announcing new products, updates and so
forth. They'll usually include a web page or e-mail address for people who
want additional information. That COMMTronics ad was plainly a "shove it
in your face and go to hell if you don't like it" kind of thing.
Naturally, I resented it and said as much.

Of course I was "jumping [his] case!" I guess he would have figured that

The CE-232 is a LOT of parts to be soldered together, and yes, the CPU is
expensive, but it isn't the majority of the cost involved.
I have the CE-232 and it runs several (3) scanners...one at a time as
described in his techical information.  The interface is very powerful and
agile.  It will do many things the OPTO versions won't, just as the OPTO
versions do much the CE-232 won't do.  It just depends on your
wants/needs.  I suggest the OPTO for those that have very little hacking
experience...the CE-232 for those that like to dive in and get personal
with their equipment.  (I have a friend that has the OPTO 456, so I am
familiar with it.)

As for the arguments on rec.radio.scanner, I agree.  Few people enjoy the
rocks these people throw at each other.

I would like to upgrade from my BC200XLT, which has been a great
scanner. I'd like to know of any suggestions anyone may have. I'd like
to be able to control the scanner with my computer, which is a Mac. I
know that most of the scanning controllers are for DOS/Wintel OS's, but
if anyone would post any advantages/disadvantages I'd be grateful.

the bathroom!!!(not that I would know this!!!) I would like to trade it
for a scanner, 220 ht, or 2/6-meter base/mobile or???
I also have a Micronta model #22-195 Bench top Autoranging 4 digit LCD

Boy the 'fighting' that goes on in here is child like!
Bill Cheek..and the others write in here "FLAMING" eachother!

Bill says " They started it in open fourm " Your right Bill ! they did!

My expereince has been this with people, Dont flame them in public
THATS WHAT THEY WANT..  A reaction Bill !!

Like an obsecne phone caller... he/she wants an audience.Dont be that
audience.

If I get flamed..so be it...! big deal..my life does NOT revolve around
a news groups "Ideas".

I am NOT flaming anyone!!  Just act like adults!

I am not a Bill fan or anyones fan for that matter,it just makes common
sense not to respond to such arguements in public. ( only my opinion )


As for the Police dispatcher who has NEVER in 14 yrs has a scanner
user helpout..Hummm find that one a little hard to beleive!!

The superintendant of the ILL state troopers said " Without those extra
set of eyes,we would not have half the convictions we do".
He goes on to say " We would also not entertian the idea of DVP".

Now having been raised in a Police family , I can say I do agree with
that dispatchers comments on this:

Sometimes some comms are just too case sensitive to relay over the
air..a sexual assault case or rape etc...Drug busts etc... this is when
the need for DVP or radio silence is called for. Not for cloaking the
call to check on that barking dog!

I have helped many times by litening to my handheld ham HT,tuned
into the Police!

to end this if you dont like what Cheek has to say...SKIP THE MESSAGE!!
or anyother author for that matter.

I am not flaming you Bill,your just an example I am using .

I think the 'fighting' parties should call a truce tho this child like
use of communications...man it sounds like my local CB channel!

Get along...go to pvt email or shut up!  Lets get to scanning like the
news group says REC.RADIO.SCANNER


                                          Happy Scanning !

        I'd like to know where all the appeals on those
convictions went.  The rules of evidence are pretty stiff
nowadays.  What exactly would a scanner user be able to
contribute as direct testimony in court?  How many scanner
users were subpoenaed to testify at trial because they had a
scanner and called the police about an incident?  That's the
ONLY way a scanner user could be involved in "getting a
conviction" in a criminal case, and I suspect that most of
their testimony would be ruled inadmissable in pretrial
hearings.

I'm right up the road from you ... check out http://www.westworld.com/~justus
If you have a specific freq your looking for, just let me know and I'll see
if it's in my database yet.

   How many channels will they be using?

   If four or five, then you won't have any problems
   once you find out the 800 freq's to listen to or
   900's....you'll be able to decipher what is going
   on in your area....on this trunked system.

   but if your area is putting in 23 plus channels, you
   are in for a great surprise....all agencies in the
   service area will be on....police, fire, ems, dog
   catcher, diving, coroner, dist attrny, swat, sdu
   depts., juvenile, homicide, street sweeper, dog
   pound, even a hospital .

   and to top it off, some agencies invite other agencies
   in another city/town to share the chatter and add more
   channels to the set-up....the computer don't care how
   many up to a certain point...but the computer just finds
   empty channels to broadcast on each time the receiver/mic
   is clicked...and then it goes for the next available.

   what this means is this: if you want to know what is going on
   as you do now...forget it.  You will have to buy one of their
   non-speaking radios and they will program it and they will only
    put in normal channels for you to listen to...no swat or dui or
    sdu or dist attorny, or captain or lt's or the tac channels
    which vice operates on all the time....

    You will be heading bits and pieces of many dept's and this
     will just drive you crazy....you won't even know which agency
     you are listening to until you get used to the dispatchers
     for their voices...then you at least can guess the area they
     are talkign about or the agency....police includes pd and
     sheriff....that can take up 15 channels easy.

     our system in the Bay Area has 48 channels and shared by fire
     for city and county, clemars, police, sheriff, divers, coroner,
     ems, dist attrny, tac channels for both pd and sheriff, special
     detail units which are on tac channels for them...street sweepers
     and street maintenance, juvenile hall, sheriff on two sides of the
     hill....different call signs....search and rescue....and more

     The trunk system is great: for the agencies using it. And if they
     will not authorize anyone, even the press, for getting radios
     programmed by their dept., the press is out of luck and has to do
     the old beat check routine...there is no consistency .... just
     chaos....this is the cops best friendly radio system.

     In time the digital radios are going to be common...then no one
listens on any radio system called scanner....then the cops will truly
     be happy.....the press truly sad.

     I am truly sad most of the time. Have a press radio for one and
     scanners for the other...so be aware that your listening enjoyment
     is about to take a spill if it's a large agency or allows other
     city's to come on down and get in on the action

Try swapping that around and see if it works for you ..

"Great, is swings one way and one way only....My way."

You might be selling yourself a little short there.  "They"

There are much more cost effective ways of keeping their
traffic 10-35.  From what I understand, trunking is a more
cost-effective way of operating city communications.
It's by NO MEANS 10-35.

>      That is all I wanted to illustrate.....

Reminds me of an old saying ...

        "You can collect more flies with honey .."

Now I'm not a member of the press so my paycheck doesn't hang on
getting information from the local PD/FD, but being a scanner
hobbiest I've found it useful to befriend local PD/FD people.
It's soooo much easier to get information from someone when
they are comfortable with you.

There was a murder at 5th & main today. The media missed it becuase they
were not given access to the city trunk.
They also missed the fire , serious accident, etc. They did manage to get
the fluff.  Public relations type shots.
Now for the broadcast/daily paper, will not have much info on the
incidents becuase the PD/FD does not KNOW the media wants this info. After
all you did not call on the two alarm fire so you must not want the info.
Okay called in at 11:00 second alarm 11:15, under control 12:30, cause
under investigation.
the coverage stinks, people lack respect and confidence in their local
police/fire depts becuase they do not see them doing anything.
Beleive me, I've talked to some great PIO's in my time, and I'd much
rather trust the LAFD that puts their freq. on the web rather than the FD
chief that says are conversations are private etc etc...

I'm not a member of the press, but I have been to several
local police/fire scenes and find that the press gets
there first about 25% of the time (guestamet).

A frind of mine is a newspaper photographer and I've
met him at the scene several times and he seems to
have a good repore (sp?) with both fire and police.
On several occations I've seen him snapping away
and making small talk with the FD/PD people.

On some of these calls I've been able to pass the
police line to talk to my newpaper reporter
friend and have gotten some great information
on radio scanning from chatting with them.

PLEASE keep in mind that it's not a good idea to
go "Amulance chassing".  The only calls I've gone
to have been in my own neighborhood and I make
a point of STAYING OUT OF THE WAY!  The police
and fire have enough to deal with without having
bystanders to watch out for.

I don't know about the policys that your local
PD or FD have, but in the town I live in the PD
and FD use the media the same way that the media
use them.

If your in the media (I don't mean to tell you
how to do you job) you might trying a little
social engineering to get your next exclusive.
It's worked for my friend and now he gets
INVITED to take ride alongs with the PD/FD.
He got a bitchin' photo of during a police
gang sweep of a guy answering the door at 5am.
Greeted buy several PD/SO/INS/Parole officers.
The photo was one to remember.  He's half dressed
and in a full yawn when he answered the door :)

Oh, and I was home listening to them all this time.

Here here! One of the better explanations of underlying rationale
of trunked systems! Way to go Neil!
I second all Neil has to say on this subject.

There were a great number of local municipalities in and around Dallas/
Fort Worth in past years who had alocations for only one or two
frequencies in a mix of VHF low-band (30-50), VHF hi-band (150-160) and
UHF (450-512) frequencies - and who have now converted to Trunked systems,
and in a lot of cases nearby small, cities went in together on a system
because it was impossible to obtain additional, clear VHF hi-band or
UHF frequencies (activity on low band here is alsmost non-existant).

Trunking does make very good, efficient use of spectrum. I am looking forward
to trunking in the VHF and UHF areas - I like the propagation characteristics
at 150 MHz for county-wide coverage and UHF works well for building penetratio
n
(as does 800) but UHF for some reason seems a little 'friendlier'
propagation-wise in the city plus offers a little less free-space propagation
loss and diffracts a little better into low lying areas (covering them better)
.

I read this newsgroup to share information on radio
scanning.  It's gotten to the point that I spend
90% of my time clearing messages about Bill.

PLEASE do us all a favor and take your discusion
elsewhere.  I (and I'm sure most everyone else
here) could care less about your opinions about
each other.

If I'm wrong about this, please let me know and
I won't bother wasting my time reading this
newsgroup.

Bill, since this all seems to be directed at you,
I think the quickest end to this would be if
you would not respond to these messages.  It will
die out soon and it will be back to business as
ussual.

Thanks! :)

This radio is never intended to be exported to the United States.  I
have never even seen one myself.  I cannot remember, but seems like
the manufacturer felt that it would be too costly to block out the
cellular reception to enable the radio to be marketed in the United
States (but, I might be wrong).  Anyway, it is not sold in the US so
therefore the steps are not set up with the US band plans.

What I want to know is if anyone knows of a company which exports this
scanner to the US?

How does it compare to the AOR8000? Which is sold in the US.

Most of us are getting them from the Javiation in the UK:

Now, if only someone could find out how to program the bandplan to take
care of the programmed search mode problem, this would be one ultra-cool
scanner.

Very interesting that you pretend to not know "Tim Pacan"
([e-mail]) with whom YOU share a web page!!!

Let's take us a brief look-see, Mister Duff:

http://halifax.terraport.net/teepee/title.html   (Tim Pacan)
http://halifax.terraport.net/teepee/main.html    (Tim Pacan)
http://halifax.terraport.net/teepee/va3to.html   (Hugh Duff)

Do you deny that VA3TO.HTML is your page, and that it is under
"teepee's" page, and that you both are hams, and that you know HIM?

That sure seems the impression you've been trying to convey, sir.

The evidence is becoming overwhelming that "teepee" is the forger;
therefore, there is strong reason to think that you share some level
of complicity with him.  In fact, since he doesn't normally post here,
it might be that YOU put him up to the forgeries....or even used his
account when he wasn't looking.

I sure don't know this Tim Pacan a.k.a. "teepee" from Adam, and one
would think he had no quarrel with me......contrary to YOU, picking
fights with me for a year now.

Very interesting information that's turned up, Mr. Duff.  Eh?

Tick.....tock......tick.......tock........

Take a chill pill, sonny.  Tell ya what -- I'll mount my whole damn
cordless phone base unit on top of a flagpole, ok?

Will THAT satisfy your finely-honed sense of right and wrong?

Or does your kode-O-vethics demand that I keep my antenna buried
inside my aluminum house, surrounded by metal computer equipment and
shelving, so as to protect your precious band.

Guess what, ol' pal O mine -- take yer "that's one bunch you don't
want to mess with" rant, roll it up tight, and stick it where the son
don't shine, ok? Maybe that nonsense works on the kids down the block,
but as a response to a simple, honest, and reasonable question, it
sucks double-plus-ungood.

Sheesh, what an anal bunch.  If sticking an antenna on an extension
cable threatens your identity THAT much, I'll GLADLY build a
weatherproof box for the whole stinkin' base!  Ok????? Will that make
you happy, Master???

Btw, try laying off the coffee for a day or two, eh?

Hey Stevie...baby... can the advertising here on the newsgroup.
Put all you want about it on your Web page but I personally care not
to see advertising going on here.
If your product is viable then word of mouth and discussion of it will
occur.

I have been there several times, but I don't remember what frequencies they
use.  They do have a sign asking that all ham radios and scanners be turned
off while in the museum so I have abided by that request and left them in
the car.

Enjoy your visit to the fine museum and be sure to look for the `Tacit Blue'
aircraft that should now be on display.  The unvailed it while I was at the
museum the week after the Dayton Hamvention in May.  If you have never been
to the museum, plan on spending the WHOL day there as it is that big. There
is also an annex on the base that has some interesting aircraft there as well.

The Air Force Museum also has a web site. I do not remember the URL, but any
of the search engines should find iw with a search on `Air Museum'.

Enjoy.

Let me see if I can answer these questions.

departure
A/C contact ground control before and during taxi then control tower for
take off instructions.  After takeoff the aircraft will contact
departure for instructions on leaving the area. from there air traffic
control give  the aircraft instructions.

Aircraft position from the Airport will determine which freq it will
use.

example
-a/c approaching from east will use freq assigned to that sector.
-a/c departing to south will use freq assigned to that sector.
-each runway usally has its own contol tower frequency.

Arrival

Air traffic control hands a/c off to approach control.
Approach control hands off to tower then tower hands a/c to ground
control after departing runway for taxiway.

This is the condensed version of the procedure.


The Avaiation communication equipment does not need a lot of power to
tx.  They have qreat line of site communication.  the air craft are
either close on the ground or in the air with nothing to obstruct
communication.

hope this helps.

You can get new knobs from Edco, but I used about a 1" long by 1/8" wide
strip of electrical tape, wrapped around the top section of the brass
shaft, just above the notch in the shaft.   Carefully push the knobs
back on and they will have a much stiffer feel.  You have to push them
on such that the action of pushing them on does not force the wrapped
tape out of place.

I also put a line of white silicone caulk in the knob knurl opposite the
gray dot so that you can much more easily see the position the knobs are
in.

Chris,

I had a BCT10 & returned it after 3 days.  Audio was terrible, no 800 mhz
coverage, very poor reception.

Bought a BCT7 which is tons better, has 800 mhz coverage & user
programable freqs.  I bought a coiled cord & sit it on my passenger seat
or in my center console.

Scott



PS,

The BCT10 didn't even cover my local 460 mhz Police freqs, which have
been the same for at least 6 years.

Like new condition with box, manual, and optional tone decoder.

500 channels, receives everything 25 - 1300 MHz except 520-760 MHz
and the cellular band (can hear as 12xx MHz images).  Alphanumeric
naming of memories, auto-storage of frequencies, VFO control,
direct entry of freq., telescoping right-angle antenna, 25 memory
banks, high scan rate, etc.

I'd keep it but am not really using it much.  Asking $275 including
tone decode board.

Not upset........ that's a bad choice of words.  It's just that two
can play that silly game, and I can play it much better than you, sir.
Sooner or later, your ISP will tire of the matter.....and you.  Just
don't send me e-mail, and you will do fine.  Keep it up, Katzenjammer,
and so shall I.  Take that to the bank, sir.

>Here is what he sent me and my ISP.

Yes, that's right.....and it will grow as you escalate matters.

It's your call.

If you have so many friends, then how come there are so many people entering

Mickey - the system in charlotte uses frequencies in the 800Mhz band -
so you need a scanner capable of picking up frequencies in that band.

Trunking can be used with any frequency (the technology may be
applied, that is) - but these radios are typically in the 800-900Mhz
band.

The big thing about trunked radios, is that when YOU listen to them on
a simple scanner, you will hear the conversation jump around - in
that, you may hear a question on one frequency, and the reply on the
other.....unless you have a really fancy scanner, and can decode the
subaudible tones....

easiest way - just set the trunked system's frequencies in a separate
bank, then make sure that the "delay" is OFF - that way, as soon as
someone unkeys, it resumes scanning immediately, and you have a better
chance of catching the response....

good luck, and if you have any more questions, just post em, or mail
them!

not the only engineer, who's 100% committed to the field.  I asked you
before for names of others, but you wouldn't put your money where your
jaws are, so.........????????

>It's the attitude that rubs people the wrong way.

It's my attitude about YOU.

>If he could control himself and act like a decent person

Depends on how I am treated.  First I posted an impersonal FAQ.  And
wow, you came running like the hogs called to suey........  There was
no issue of "control" and decency there.

> I would do the same.

Then do it.

> I'm not prepared to to be verbally abused and threatened by

I have NEVER addressed you in n aggressive, hostile manner FIRST.
Only in response.  You can't dish it out and not take it.

>Its different here on the internet as compared to FIDO where Bill has

You are dealing with something that does not pertain to HERE for one
thing, and for another, it is spilt milk from an old time, a year ago.

Oh well.........WHO decides this "good boy" status?

        Sounds like someone giving instructions for how to get on Welfare!
I know people who are on county welfare, state food stamps, AND federal
disability income, all for faking a mental illness "I hear voices in my
head".  Not only that, they get free medical insurance to boot!  One of my
ex-girlfriends heard about this scam from her girlfriend, and went for it.
She now doesn't have to work, lives in a modest apartment, and plays on
the computer all day without worry, and without having to work........sq

(they told me that the secret was not getting on any ONE program, but to
get on ALL THE PROGRAMS!  The combined income is about $25,000/yr equate)

Pretty poor forgery [e-mail] you still have to post

I do, regularly. In the last two weeks the volume of posts has
dwindled to a half dozen a day......down from 50 or so a day when you
took over.
IMHO the participants are sending you a message.

Ah....you have reached the heart of the matter.....what can WE (the
participants of this newsgroup) PERMIT????

WE (the participants of this newsgroup) certainly don't want to PERMIT
the likes of Mr. Duff to slam people without impunity.....but what do
WE (the participants of this newsgroup) do when a participant
oversteps all bounds of taste or civility? Are you saying that WE (the
participants of this newsgroup) can take action? Do we have the
capability to PERMIT some things and FORBID others? Up until now,
you've told us that all we can do is tune such people out, use our
kill files or whatever to ignore their posts.

It's a two way street, Bill.....if WE can take action against their
behaviour when they deserve it, WE can take action against your
behaviour when you deserve it. Are you ready to accept our judgement
of your behaviour?

>Don't you see what is happening?

Yes, I do. It's called "Do as I say, not as I do".

Personally, I would prefer to forego those gigabytes of marvellous
posts you offer, if the price of admission is giving you the license
to act as crudely as you like when someone takes a shot at you.
It doesn't matter who started the dispute. There is a minimum level of
behaviour that should be expected from posters, even if others are
attacking them. You seldom meet that minimum.

Paul

You are an IDIOT.  I NEVER said posts made by them, I said posts about their
secret service names.  Read again fool.

We wouldn't allow crap like that in the CB echo as it would be off topic.

Excuse me, but I don't see any "sent" messages to you in my queue that
goes back a year or more.  I haven't sent anything to
"[e-mail]" of which I am aware.

Tell ya what, I will email this reply to you as well as post it here
so you can compare headers and see if maybe you got a FORGED message.
Someone IS doing that now, you know?

"TeePee" is indeed the so called "Forger".  I thought you figured that
out by now Willy ?  Did you miss some of my posts about it ?
Yes, I know "TeePee".  No, I did not solicit his "help" to do what he
did.  Call in the FBI, CIA, National Guard and the Internet police.
So do we have that one cleared up ?

I'm attempting to wind the 'war' down from my side.
You're making it very difficult with your continued "not to let it go"
replies.

Lay low for a while and post all you want but kindly keep the
subtle advertising out of it.

Just after I purchased my scanner I heard a hi-speed pursuit by the local SD.
Just before the end, the pursuing Deputy reported, "Lathrop 17, I believe
it's (John Doe). He's looking at me in the rear view mirror and laughing and
flipping me off!".

This happened late one night.

"Control, Station 94, be advised the plones are not working at this
time."

You could then hear engine 93 come up on the air and state:

"It might help if you plug them in!"


I got this from a different newsgroup so I cannot take credit for it.
Engine 25 was responding to a reported structure fire.

"Control, engine 25 on scene at 12735 S. Maple, we have nothing showing
from a <pause>  "Hey Bates, count dem floors.""

Oh, yeah.. I agree with you. I am of the mind that I can monitor whatever
goes through my body.

However - To listen to someone without their knowledge or consent is
invading their privacy. Most people have some idea that they have privacy
on any phone (obviously false). It's ethically questionable to listen to
them if they have this idea. I'm not sure how to explain how I feel about
this. If they realize they very easily could be listened in on, then
there wouldn't be much of an ethical problem. This makes no sense, eh.

In any case, I will listen to them. I may be invading their privacy by
doing so, but as you said, they are invading mine. I never said I didn't
do it.

I'm straddling the issue, arent I. Oh well.

I dispatched officers on our last night work at about 0600 for "...a
large number of balloons in some telephone wires." Officers arrived on
location stating that there were "approx. 75-100 balloons in the wires
and to notifiy Bel-Tel."

About 30 mins. later, in a high-pitched, squeeky voice, my Sergeant
advised me that "Bel-Tel was on the scene and they would remove the
remaining 50 balloons from the wires."

Maybe it was the midnights, but I laughed 'till shift end.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

Desk Sergeant:  "The unit that just wrote a ticket at Wal Mart respond."
205:  "205"
Desk Sergeant:  "Return to Wal Mart and meet with a subject.  You wrote
her a ticket for parking in a senior citizen's space."
205: "How will I find the woman."
Desk Sergeant (laughing):  Look for the angry one at the service desk.

204:  "204.  Stopping persuit on Cobbs Ford Road by the Amaco Station.
I'll also be requiring assistance."
Dispatcher: "204, are you stuck."
204 (in a an embarassed quiet voice):  "10-4".

He had gone into persuit of a speeding vehicle on a straight road, ran off
the road and got stuck.

304:  "10-26 (stopping vehicle) 10-55 (dui) at 4th and main.  Tag number
xxxxxx."
a couple of minutes later, 304:  "10-100a (attempting to out run patrol
car.)"
Dispatcher:  "304, location and speed?"
304: "Highway 82 intersection.  (in a pitiful voice) He's only going 35
but he won't yeeeiiiillllddd."

There used to be one officer who would be listening to his radio, but
would never respond immediately.
Dispatcher:  "204?"
No answer
Dispatcher "204?" (she knew he was listening)
no answer.
Dispatcher (to supervisor):  "201.  See if you can raise 204.  When you
raise him, advise him that his house is on fire."
204:  "10-84 Code 2!!"

He started answering promptly after that incident.

I used to have a friend who was the general manager of our local 911
service.  She would tell me the REALLY funny stuff that would never make
it out over the radio.  They had an intercom system with the desk sergeant
and he would make fun of the less-sharp officers.

 In First Ammendment cases, a phrase often used is `reasonable expectation of
privacy'. How could anyone expect privacy over a devise using radio waves? If
he did expect privacy, would his expectation be reasonable?

Diff. makes have diff. freq.s.

Stanley is at 310mhz with only 1024 codes.
Some Linear products are at 312mhz with ONLY 512 codes.
Most newer remotes are at 310mhz with 59049 codes.

Does anyone know how the secure button on Stanley remotes work??  It transmits

the same code, just at a faster speed.

>300 MHZ comes to mind.
  Nothing at 300mhz I have found,  but 303mhz is used by some car alarm
remotes.


>Rumor has it the following makes a universal garage door opener:

This does work on some Stanley/Linear remotes.

Garage owners may want to look to replace the receiver on their garage opener.

I have at my house,  just make sure to disable the old receiver.
I used a Clifford ACG receiver that can't be scanned or CodeGrabbed.

I just found their web page.  It's at (surprise!)

Their consumer models are Scout and ScoutMaster.  The latter
supports differential GPS and computer I/O.

Hope this helps.

I was just at West Marine yesterday.  Their electronics guy told me that
the "new" 45 (which is the 45XL, I guess), has a 20 hour rating on fully
charged batteries.  Now THAT's an improvement!  And there may be more...

For those within listening range of the Ocoee river Olympic venue, try
tuning in 139.45 MHz.  I am hearing it quite well in the Chattanooga area
even with a handheld scanner.  The traffic involves transporting athletes
and officials in and out of the venue area and providing meals
to the workers. All day today (July 27) it has been quite busy and all
in the clear.

You guys remember the above? (Katz' public call for a mail-bomb?)
Look at the title/subject line, if you don't remember.

Anyway, our fine feathered Katz -=did=- commence an e-mail bomb

to HIM and to his ISP.  Finally, his ISP told Katz to STOP.  Cool?

Hardly.  Get a load outa this:  Katz then complained to MY ISP about
me e-mail bombing HIM.  Geezus H. Kriste!  Not only did he complain,
but he.......failed to tell the truth and added a lie of his own.

My question is how can it be "criminal harrassment" to  *return*

The fact that I am in a different country makes it

That's IT!

After posting several question in this newsgroup and getting _ZERO_
responses, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!! You are more worried about flaming
each other, than answering "simple" questions!

I have posted several good articles here over the past few months,
especially information about the NJSP fleet/subfleet listings. And I
also answered questions from other postings. But no more! I HAVE HAD
ENOUGH!

I will stay to the local scanner newsgroup, at least there is no
flamming there, and to the listgroup where the postings are moderated.

Joe

The thin-skinned don't get very far on USENET...
Killfiles are part of life in the 90's!

What questions did you post here?.. On dejanews (a VERY complete, faster
than my server, up-to-date archive) I only see one post to
rec.radio.scanner explaining Trunked systems. You have posted 36 times to
phl.scanner tho. Some good info.

Basically, you need to learn to ignore the spam. That is more and more a
part of the Internet as it expands 100% a year. There is a lot of good
info here if you stick around.

I bought 1 about 2 yrs ago, been very satisfied with it. The cig lighter
adap failed, ACE sent 1 out, got it in a week.  Some keys on keypad
wouldn't respond, intermittantly, sent it back to ACE 3 days out of warr,
they covered anyway, had it back fixed in 2weeks.  No probs since then.
It receives anything you can think of, SW surprised me, reception VG with
RS telescopic whip.  SSB also VG.  800Mhz excellent.  No complaints at
all, except I don't have enough time to spend on it!

Well, I am in San Diego, I could put up some SDPD stuff. I have about
500k left of web space though, so I couldn't do much.

If someone wants to donate some web space, I can make some sound clips of
SDPD. Lots of cool stuff last night heard including:

- Drug seller stakeout
- 11-99 call (first time I've heard one..)  Officers being jumped by gang
members. About 7 units responded "97" right after the "code 4"... :)
-  Also a guy "unloading" his gun at the officers, noone was hit, the gun
got loose into a crowd (!).. not sure what happened there, it was code 4
eventually.
- Tons more (saturday night, of course...)

- High speed (up to 120mph) motorcycle chase went right past my house the
other day...
they stopped pursuing him eventually.. lots of controversy about chases
here recently.

Only problem with recording SDPD is the fact that they are trunked. I
don't always get the whole incident and other stuff gets in there.. (if
only I had 20 800mhz scanners...) But I still get a lot of juicy stuff.

Well, then, Mister Michael Alexander (who just can't ever stifle
himself for very long), there may be a LOT that your know-it-all,
judgmental, pompous, sanctimonious self just doesn't know.

Perhaps Mr. Boe and I see eye to eye?  You won't know, though.

But I will tell you this....write it down.  Read Edgar Guest's poem,
"IF" for a groundbreaker.  And then observe..........

When I walk with kings, I -=am=- a king.
When I walk with common men, I -=am=- a common man.
When I swim the sewers with riff-raff and low-lifes like yourself,
 I become riff-raff and low-life, too.

Don't shoot at me with a .22-cal pistol, Mister Michael Alexander, and
then whine and snivel when I shoot back with a .457 Winchester Magnum.
Don't swim like a turd in a punch bowl and then yell when I piss on
you.

When a contract is broken, it is broken.  It is not a matter of
degree, you blithering, blabbering, jaundiced, self-annointed
ministerial nincompoop!

Geezus H. Kriste, what horse did you ride in on this time?  Who
appointed you the Great Saviour of Mankind, anyway?

Behold, a pale horse ridden by Hizoner Michael Alexander, the
Magnificent, the Great, the Benefactor........

And then you woke up.  Sheesh......some people's kids!  Your Paw
oughta be horsewhipped for not drowning you that first year.  Or do
you got a Paw?  I'm thinking of the possibilities of a Virgin Birth...
maybe the first example of asexual reproduction in Humans.

Beat it, dude.  Scoot!  Shoo, fly!  Vamoose!  Scram!  Tuit suite!

Do you feel Bills  messages in this news group don't belong?

Have you read a message thinking it was about something else and
discovered it was Bill again?

Don't know what to do?  Here's a suggestion......

Why not  reply to Bill with a copy of every message you feel is
unfit to be in this group plus your comments in return.

Send the public post back to him.  Tell him it does not belong
..do it the right way. Be nice about it. He may be to stupid to
understand.    Flood him with his own crap.

if only 10 persons send his 7 messages back in one day that's 70
messages for him to wait for and possibly read,reply or delete.


I don't suggest emailing him your largest file before you go to sleep
it might get you in trouble if you send a 10 Meg file trough email
once by mistake.  Your ISP may get upset.

I am looking for some information on freqs which are used between
medical personnel, EMTs, etc, and hospitals.  I am able to hear fire
departments dispatch them but I have not been able to track down the
conversations between ambulance and hospital.

I would be thankful for any insight anyone may have.

Thanks much.

MEDS 1-8 are used for ambulance to hospital communications. MEDS 9 and
10 are used for dispatch and coordination although this is not always
followed.

I use the amplified speaker from Radio Shack (21-541, $24.99).  It
works great.  The power automatically comes on when there is audio and
shuts down a couple minutes after audio has stopped.  I leave it wired
to the battery so that I can use it even after I have turned off the
ignition.  When you unplug the scanner, the power stays off.

If you could be so lucky as to find a extension speaker used in the Motorola
car kit for the flip phone, grab it.. I have 3 of them is service and will buy

any I can find.. I have paid around 4 to 8 bucks at swapfests.. they are small

rectangular, so they don't hang down low, and they sound great.

BTW anyone reading this that has any , I am in the market.
The 14.95 square speaker from radio shack is no comparison.. I have one here I

would give to the first person walking in the yard !

It is most useful when there are relatively few strong radio signals
around, since otherwise the unit keeps locking onto pagers, FM and TV
broadcast audio, etc.

I am curious about the difference between the OS456 and the CE232.
From preliminary info I can see the the OS456 is the superior interface for
the PRO 2006.  But would like to get a little bit more info on the CE232.
The type of info that I am looking for is features, and a little bit of
technical insight on how the device actually interfaces with the scanner.
From what I have heard, the OS456 interfaces into the Microcontroller in the
Pro 2006.  Is this true??   How does the CE232 do it??    I am just interested
in making an un-biased comparison of the two interfaces to fully understand
schemes and engineering.  OptoScan makes the OS456, who makes the CE232???
Any info appreciated....

Interested in starting a Radio Monitoring Club in Montana.  I was a RCMA

Member but as you may know it went belly up(very unfortunatly).  I have
many frequencies and codes for the Montana area and am very interested
in obtaining some federal frequencies. If have an interest can reply here
or
email me at cqbu75@prodigy.
I own an Aor-1000 and a Bearcat 200.With all those channels I need more
freqs. to fill 'em up.
I am currently employed as a police dispatcher.

I see your credentials are getting more ontrack here.
No BSc or Peng or anything like that.

Anyway, I admit the messages do contain snippits of info but
also contain subtle Ads.

Can't you just lay low for a while ?
I've been making the attempt.

Try these:
151.625
154.600
151.955

They are listed as Lancaster speedway freqs. but I know I used at
least one of them at rasnsomville a couple of years ago. Also have:
151.955
151.625
Listed as DIRT officials.

As for the world of outlaws I believe that they are not allowed to
have radios in their cars. I could be wrong on that point though. Hope
that helps.

What are you going to at Ransomville? I know that the 358 Modifideds
use radios in their cars and their spotters are really talkative and
fun to listen to. Have fun!

Just picked up a RS Pro-23 Scanner with a 2A4 date stamp.
The 2/9/LOut sequence does nothing (neither does 2/9 for
that matter).  Does anyone know why?  Have "leftover"
Pro-23's been sent back to the factory and changed in
any way?

Thanx in advance!

        To some extent, how "good" a scanner web site is
depends on where you are and what sort of information you
need.

        If you're looking for comprehensive information
about upstate New York and southern Ontario Province, plus
scanner features, recorded scanner sounds, monitoring laws
and other stuff, you can try the NF2G Scannist Pages.  They
can be found at:

I just got back from Disneyland.  They don't check any bags as you go into
the park.  I didn't bring my scanner but now wish I had.  It seems that
there was a lot of radio traffic.  I don't know anything about their
trunked system except I believe they are using one.

Have a good time.

The August Update to the NF2G Scannist Pages is now online
at http://www.frontiernet.net/~dstark.

There you will find upstate New York frequencies and maps,
some coverage of southern Ontario Province, feature tables
on several makes and models of scanners, information about
US and Canadian scanning laws, amateur radio nets that
discuss scanner listening around the state, hobby related
news information, recorded scanner audio samples, and lots
of links to related resources on the Internet.

If you're in the Upstate area and are interested in the
possibility of a pager notification service similar to those
that cover major metro areas around the country, be sure to
read the Hotflash page.

The website is in the process of being enhanced with
Microsoft ActiveX controls and HTML 3.2 extensions.  The
information is still accessible to low speed links and HTML
2.0 browsers, but there is even more to see if you're using
Netscape 3 or Internet Explorer 3. I'm building animated
presentations with PowerPoint that can be viewed over the
Web, and one of them is already online.

Explorer users will see the frequency lists in COLOR.

If you care, you can also find my c.v. - on my website where
it belongs rather than in any newsgroup.

Stop by and enjoy - and send feedback while you're there.

Hi,
Could somone give me information on the Opto Scout 40 and what is different
between it and the current Opto Scout?   A quick response would be nice since
I'm going to go look at a used one tomorrow.

Thanks.

I'd go with the AOR1000, without a doubt. $250 is a good price (I'm
assuming that it's used but in good condition at that price since new they
sold for close to $400). It's got 1000 channels (10 scan banks and 10
search banks) and goes from 50 Khz to 1300 Mhz without any gaps. It's a
good performer too (well not on the shortwave side but who buys a scanner
for SW?) The only complaint about it is that it is difficult to program
and the documentation is quite poor.

If you really have your heart set on a Pro26, go for the Uniden BC3000XLT
instead. Similar in many respects, better in others (400 channels, and
exceptionally well built, come to mind). Best of all, it sells for about
$50 less than the Pro26. There was a review in Monitoring Times comparing
the two a while back. I'm sorry, I don't recall the issue.

Just thaught I'm mention an interesting frequency I discovered
a few monthe ago.

48.080 MHz  ( Can't quite remember off the top of my head whether
              it's AM or NFM mode).

Don't know where it is transmitted from, but I can pick it
up OK in the south London area.

It seems to be used a lot by Sky News as a link from the studio to
the outside broadcast units. You can often hear the news programs
go out over this frequency, as well as messages to the OB units.
As far as I can see the only thing you don't get are the comercials
and the documentary programs.

Happy listening.

Richard.

Not true. Speedbird has been used for all flights in Australia that I know of
(I worked in air traffic control in the mid '80s and all British Airways
flights were called "Speedbir(add flight number)". And there were no Concorde
flights to Australia at the time.

To my knowledge they don't.  I assume you have their other
frequencies.  If not 159.210 and 155.460 are some good ones to try.
Also in a lot of places, they will use the local Sheriff's Dept for
running tags and DL's.  At least they do in Ellis Co. although they
will use their own channels if Ellis Co. is busy.

   After following this thread for some time, it occurs to me that
people are losing site of one very important thing about trunking, it
is  fairly new and as with anything new a lot of people do not like it
because they can't use it! If enough people complain loud and clear to
the scanner makers about this problem of not being able to follow
trunked systems, they will find a way of providing scanners capable of
making our enjoyment of such to come alive. Also the same is true for
digital transmissions.  Thanks to greed, high demands are always meet
with supply. For those who say the company that owns that
technology will not  share it, is correct!, but they will lease or
rent the use it if the money is right.

I'm in the somewhat unusual position of having been on both sides
of this issue.  I now work with a law enforcement agency, but in
the past, have been involved in the media as, among other things,
a radio station News Director and a radio General Manager.

The fact is, when a government agency decides to switch to another
radio technology, scanner enthusiasts and the media are both at
the bottom of the list of reasons for doing so.  Nobody cares if
people listen to their scanners.  The only people who see a "plot"
to prevent scanner listeners from hearing police broadcasts are
the scanner listeners!

As for the media, its job is to report what happens out in the
real world, and that involves monitoring police radiocasts.  If the
police switch to a different system, it is the media's responsibi-
lity to find a way to do its own job.  The police department doesn't
give a rat's *ss if the local papers, TV and radio stations can or
can't listen.  The newspaper or station that wants to be able to
stay competitive will purchase or lease the necessary gear to
be able to do the job.

Everytime I've come across a law enforcement agency that's thinking
of changing radio systems, there are usually two reasons for the
change...financial efficiency and ease of communicating.  I was
once involved with a small city where the police often had trouble
communicating with portable radios.  An officer out on portable
in some areas of the city could only be heard by other nearby
officers.  This is a dangerous situation.  The city had two
solutions available to it.  It could switch to a repeater system
in which portables would put out the same strength signal as the
dispatch center's base station.  The second solution still used
a repeater system, but also utilized a change in frequencies to
eliminate sharing a main band with several other area depart-
ments.  The city opted for the second solution.  It had nothing
to do with trying to "foil" scanner enthusiasts and the media.
It was simply a matter of better, more efficiant communications.

Many areas are switching to trunked systems to make more efficient
use of the radio spectrum.  With trunked systems, more agencies
can use fewer frequencies without each agency listeneing to the
other agencies' radio traffic or having to wait for the channel
to clear.

A "plot" against scanner enthusiasts?  Look at it this way...
scanner enthusiasts listen to police communications for fun, for
entertainment, for diversion.  Police officers listen to police
communications as their information lifeline.  Who do you think should carry t
he weight in decisions to
switch communications systems?

Hello All:

While listening to the news reports of the crash site and the authorities
search for the black boxes, I think I remember hearing that the boxes send
out a signal so they may be more easily found.

Is it possible they would emit a signal on the VUH/UHF ELT aviation bands
(121.5 /243.0 mHz??)

Anyone have information on the black boxes???

Just curious...

TIA, Jeff

(owner says he paid $169).  I haven't found the unit at a dealer yet,
and I am a complete novice on these things.  U say U paid $120.

While, I can't really tell...  It sounds like it very well could be the postal

inspector.  Especially if there is low activity.  As far as I know, most USPS
Trucks
don't have radios and unless you live close to an office, I don't think that y
ou
would here interoffice radios.

Just a thought.

Hi all and thank you for your help.  I'm looking for frequencies used by
the various Boston News Media.  TV, Radio, Print, Traffic choppers, IFB's,
Wireless Mic's, etc.

I am a news videographer in Maine and frequent the Boston area on
assignments.  I have ferreted out a few but could really use a more
comprehensive listing to keep my finger on the pulse of "Bean Town".  This
is my first post, I hope I'm doing it right.  I collect extensive
frequency data and will help where I can.

I'd noticed that long ago, but didn't want to cause the gentleman any
undue difficulty.  Also noticed that WinRadio jumped on with an
announcement that got no dissent.  Some time ago, our dearly beloved
Michael Alexander posted a notice of HIS forthcoming book, and no one
sniveled about it.  There's an easy dozen out and out ads or
commercial posts that could be dug up.  But why?  I think they're cool
and in good taste.

>It seems that only certain people are taken to task here.

So it seems.......but only by a few and the sadly disillusioned few
who follow them.

I think I am going to settle in for a good read of "Much ado about
nothing" tonight........and maybe send Ronnie Katzenjammer's e-mail
bombs back to his ISP (again).

What type of scanner is it?  You probably won't pick it up on this
frequency on a scanner of a different make.  It sounds like a birdie,
which is the scanner receiving it's own oscilator signal.

I heard that's how the BCT and BCT2 alert to the presence of a trooper by
picking up homing beacon on car.  Does anyone know if that can be picked
up by a scanner and used in conjunction with a radar detector as a BCT2?
What is the frequency I wonder...

This si something I'm completely unfamiliar with, but it sounds very
interesting.  Could you expand a bit and give the equivelant for BCT?

Thanks

Mark

The truth as I perceive it to be.
Your perception will be different.

I do not know what you mean by "homing beacon"

Also am not familiar with BCT or BCT2, but have a BCT10 and BCT7
beartrackers.

If you mean to mobile repeaters that some agencies use, then yes, they
can be heard on most any scanner.  As for the frequency, a little
investigation with a Police Call or such book should yield some
information.  You might look for something used statewide with no base
stations.

Maybe if you provide us the information such as what state we can
help.

My overall opinion of the beartrackers is they are a good idea, but do
not work, especially since the state I live in does not use mobile
repeaters.

I believe that they pick up the "mobile extender" frequencies --
low-power signals that connect the cop's handheld back to the radio in
the car. Freqs will probably vary from state-to-state. Try searching
at http://www.perconcorp.com/db_srch.htm

Hello,

        I just got a Uniden BC-200xlt, and it has 2 dead battery packs with it.
 I
have tried cycling the batteries to revive them, but they are still dead.

Does anyone know where to get replacement 'cells' for the inside or whole
replacement packs?

Please e-mail me.

Thanks,

Doug
Depends....software is great now and updates can be downloaded from
their Website.
You will have to experiment with antennas as the receive is very
broadband. I have several scanners including an Icom R7100 which more
than satisfies my gradually narrowing listening interests....I tend to
listen more to fewer frequencies now....I suppose I have become too
lazy to push the Winradio envelope.
The main attraction of Winradio is it's massive capacity for memories.
Yeah, its probably worth the money.

I hate it when people reply to posts and say I could buy a new one
for that price- BUT..
Thats how much my new FT50R cost, and that covers 76-1000 RX
with a good dose of TX in between.
