I have been told there is a MP-100. That too sounds like a variation of
a RADIUS product.  That is probably why our previous rep wasn't familiar
with it. He didn't deal much with Radius.

Thanks for the replies.

Has anyone heard the USS Grasp or USS Grapple on HF?  They are bound to
be talking back and forth to Norfolk...

If anyone has the freqs they are using, I would appreciate knowing.

No mods available for beartrackers.  These are made after the laws
went into effect which made it illegal to manufacture a scanner which
is easily modifiable.  And, I have not heard of anyone being able to
modify it.

Seems to work ok like it is anyway :  without cellular.

I'd be curious too...   RS is clearancing them out.  Just bought one for

I presumed it was a standard way of conveying what happened, but it does

Could someone please post the specs on these scanners.
I'm new to this stuff but could someone tell me wether
these can scan trunked channels? A friend of mine outside
the country said that the police have started using some
digital transmissions. I haven't been able to get the details
from him but does anybody know what that could be and wether
you can decode those. Thanks.

Why would you characterize it that way?  I should think you could view
the historical record.  I am -=not=- the aggressor; not now; not ever.

I do not flame first.
I do not mail-bomb first.
I do not threaten first.

When flamed, bombed, and/or threatened, then I act or react as I see
fit.  But I think there is some confusion with my name.

Some people think just because my name is "Cheek", that when smacked,
I should turn the other one.  <grin>

But my name isn't Jesus.  It's Bill.  "Bill" is an old Cherokee name
that means "if you can't take it, don't dish it out".  Besides, all
four of 'em (cheeks) got used up a long time ago, and there ain't any
room left for others to step in and have a go at smacking even one,
much less two or three.....

So it is a confusion issue, I am sure.........

Not really, I would say that its different for every model radio.

Yes, some models can be. I know that the older Standard radios can be.
The problem lies with the companies having difficulty charging you
when they don't know you have a second radio.  Also you are supposed
to be licenced for each radio you have.

>FINGERPRINT?

If you have the hardware to change a chip in the radio that contains
the serial number then you can clone it.  It depends on the
type of radio you have.  The older trunked Standard Radios are easier
to do.  It can all appear to be the same radios to the company
providing your service.

They in time may catch on though.  If you use it to take on it will

your fleet.


If you give me more specific info I may be able to give you more
information.

What type of trunking system?
What type of radios?

May I suggest you try the following.


Start by checking grounds.

- make sure the ground from the engine to the firewall is ok
- made sure the ground on the exhaust is ok
- antenna grounds
- radio
- battery to anything.
- Power your scanner directly from the battery. This would
  eliminate a poor ground path.


Noise is still their?.....

- clean the inside of you distributor cap with alcohol.
- make sure the ignition wires (spark plug wires) are clean,
  not arcing anywhere making good contact to the sparkplug.

TIP:  you can test for a leaky  cable at night with a water spray
bottle.  Spray a heavy mist and see if you see any sparking and if the
noise changes.

- Ignition coil may be leaky, spray water around it also and look for
  change in noise or visible sparks.


Most of the time when I've fixed these problems for others I've
wiggled wires and used a spray bottle. Most of the time it can be
found this way.

In the past when I installed radios into police cars we had to ADD
ground straps to the trunk, hood etc.

Let me know how you make out.  Or if any of the above makes a change
I may then be able to suggest further action.

Remember  a car will generate electrical notice.  It is normal to have
some noise.  Some radios are better then others at dealing with
this.



just trying to minimize it.

Can't do anything about it?  Hmm let's see one can setup filters to delete the
stuff when it comes in.  If one starts sending large files, then you can just
setup filters at the ISP.

Jeremy,

You might want to check out this URL for Radio Shack scanners.

        http://www.zianet.com/kc5kto/mods.html

This page has links to most (if not all) Radio Shack scanners with tip
and mods available for each.

Most scanners can monitor analog trunked system as long as it has the
frequency range for that particular system.   I have not heard of any
scanners that are capable of monitoring digital systems.

Good reading... that sounds intriguing!  The two-way shop I work for is
going to be installing radios in USPS short-haul trucks for the
Pasadena, CA office.  We'll be removing old Aerotrons and installing
4-channel VHF Vertex mobiles.  Granted, the frequencies will only be
3000-odd miles useless, but they might give you a place to start.  And I
will of course probe for a more comprehensive list, "just for
reference," of course, when I talk to whomever I do to get the info for
the radios that we will be installing.

Stay tuned.

Gordon

I have an BC-890 with the tone board installed. Any audio coming on a channel
with CTCSS enabled that doesn't have the correct CTCSS encoding is ignored. In

other words, during scan or priority check, it doesn't stop on that channel. I

had to install the tone board because a neighboring fire dept. and airplanes
were bleedinging in on my departments freq. and waking me up at night.

The knobs suck. The on/off/volume wears out the fastest. Rotate the
knobs around. When the whole set is bad, you can get replacements
for a $1 a knob. Me, I just gave up for now and let the radio
go naked.

Off hand, does anyone here know if there are other newsgroups out there
with emphasis on the scanning hobby? These two are the only ones which
I am able to see coming from my server. There are rec.radio.shortwave
and rec.radio.swap that are interesting, but certainly not dedicated to
the hobby of scanning. Thanks.

Rules I know are 'No devices below 10k ft," then limited to a a list
which may not allow certain cd players, games, etc, thought to be
potential interference sources.
Current reg's allow for the airlines to set policy.  I think the
general policy is to follow the guidelines above.

However, the captain of the plane has the ultimate ability to more
restrictively regulate the use of devices on the plane.  There are
also rules about obeying orders from the flight crew, whioch could be
interpreted to mean that the flight attendant makes the decisions,
too.

The price for a European BC9000 called UBC9000 works out to about
$510.00 and when it comes there is a duty. (mine was 27.37) so you can
count on about $550.00 The only difference is that the UBC9000 has full
cellular right out of the box. They also are shipped with no AC or DC
power supply because of the voltage difference. So before you can listen
you have to hook up some power.

I have not experience with Scanstar, but I owned Scancat, which I used
with my AOR8000. What I liked about it was that it had features especially
for the AOR8000 (among other scanners) and that made it easy to program
the scanner without a lot of fuss. What I didn't like about it was the
interface is quirky and outdated in this Windows kind of world we live in.
CAT, the company, was very good on the support end and that's worth a lot
these days too.

I have been monitoring an air combat training exercise in the Falcon MOA in
northern NY State for a couple of days. All are UHF AM freqs.

228.7 - COBRAs (NY ANG F-16's)
233.6 - weak
251.8 - COBRAs, running intercepts
259.05 - (prev. unknown) CHALICE DELTA comms. AWACs?
303.9 - weak
309.5 - AWACs stuff with BACKBURNER, CHALICE DELTA
313.6 - COBRAs

Also heard FAC activity on 271.2 (THUNDER 10) and some tanker stuff on 276.5
and 238.9 (Maine ANG KC-135's).

I heard one group of players, the F-15's out of Otis, MA, couldn't join due
to heavy ground fog at their station. I thought they were going up again this
aft but so far nothing. The first weekend of the month is usually good for
this type of activity in the MOA.

Is this the proper newsgroup for this type of stuff? I haven't seen reports
like this in the times I've been here.

That's the standard terminology. You should hear that quite often, car
v.s. pedestrian, car v.s. train, motorcycle v.s. pole, etc. Most of
the time though it's easy to guess who won. =)

Hello Tracy, No they are not call boxes, here in England, motorway
emergency call boxes are land line connected. There are a few
call-boxes in the wilds of Scotland which use radio links.

The concensus of the replies I have had, suggest that the aerials are
Cellular fill-in sites for dead spots, and for GSM in particular (Vodaphone).

What are the freqs you are trying to put in?  I'll try them on mine.
I have one that is a few years old.   I converted it to 100 channels
instead of 50.   The mod is real simple, I had it on a floppy around
here some place.  If you want it email me. ken

OK, so wich scanner would you choose?  They say the Pro-2006 was the best
scanner  made to date but I've been eyeing the UBC3000xlt as an alternative.


The Pro-2006 at $300    and the UBC3000xlt at $400(Ouch!!!!!!)     So whats th
e
 best deal.

The BC scans at 100channles/s
The Pro-2006 at 26channles/s        Both units have NO GAPS save for 5xx-760Mh
z.


OK, what sould I waste all that money on??????



Thanks!

I have it on fairly good authority that USSN hasn't paid its writers
in four months; hardly a "year", but still somber enough.

The entire radio market is suffering and there is no real relief in
sight other than the traditional Fall "perk up" as the weather turns
and more people come indoors to play.... but this appears to be be the
worst summer on record, and last winter was one of the worst.

So the prognosis is not good.

START?  See, Katz, you're a lying, no-good sonofagun.  I didn't start

Well, I had to send this in reply to an E-mail I recieved reference one of
my "reply's" in this newsgroup, so I guess I'll cut and paste it here
too.

George,

Please spare us the pleasentries. The last time I looked, a newsgroup was
a place to share ideas, opinions, and thoughts.
If you have a conflict with such, newsgroups probably aren't the place for
you.  The internet is a vast expansion of personalities, Myself and you
are amongst millions.  Please take the time to sit down, and not try and
save the internet world.

Also, in the eyes of many internet users, AOL and their "Terms of Service"
is quite the insult and "laughing stock" of the internet community.
Please, try not to make a habit of pushing your petty "TOS" and rules off
onto the rest of us.  Scanning is a hobby and a recreation in which all
users in this group share.  Please don't make a mochary of it by doing
such.

Tks,
~5150~

I owned one for a about a week. It seemed like a good little unit. Cell
blocked, but there are ways of hearing image frequencies of cellular if
you're interested.

My main gripe with it--and several other Uniden products--is that it does
not take conventional AA batteries. It has a nicad pack similar to that
found in cordless phones. If you're batteries go dead and you don't have
an alternate source of power, you're sunk.

I ended up with a Bearcat 80XLT. It has fewer channels and features but
it does take regular batteries. BTW, I believe most of the Radio Shack
handhelds take regular batteries also.

It is possible that you are hearing an 'image'.

 Radios produce signals in a mixing process that may end up sounding
like a dead carrier in an unwanted place such as your 146.005

Some Scanners are worse then others becasue of poor design these
internaly generated signals mix with others and pop up all over the
place.

What you will most likly notice if this is the case is that the
signal strangth is the same everywhere you go. Because its comming
from your radio.

Then again their could be something like a computer near buy or even
a cars computer that may generate this signal.


I think this is what you are hearing.

I went there in June and smuggled in a handheld withen a hippack. Even had
a clip on speaker attached to it. I never had any problems and it was
great. Parades were fun to listen to , knowing when Main Street would be
congested and Fantasmic would draw the large crowds. Thats when you hit
the major rides. I thought Maintence, Parade, Fireworks, and security were
Number #1 to listen to. Monorail and Train were a bore along with Hotel
Security, and submarine ride. Check out Beyond Police Call from the Shack.
Special Event nd System Detail in the back section lists it all along with
some in the California section.
Good luck and have fun!

        Since PATCO was fired by President Reagan, there has
been a lot of consolidation of ATC responsibilities.  Many
airports have Approach/Departure Controllers working the
various sectors of their airspace.  When you're outbound in
the sector, the controller is doing Departure work and when
you're inbound in the same sector, the same controller is
Approach (or Arrival).

        During low traffic/light staffing hours, operations
are condensed so that multiple sectors and/or operations are
simulcast on the corresponding channels.  Tower and Ground
control are often simulcast at the airport in my city.

        Airport Surveillance Radar = ASR
        SAR is Search and Rescue

        Also - PAR is military and ASR is civilian.
Otherwise they are pretty much the same thing.

        Yesterday, I was at a local mall for lunch.  A radio station was there
giving away some prizes, doing the whole promotional thing.  I noticed that
the DJ was using a wireless mic, so I turned on my scout, and hooked up a
16" dual-band whip.  This antenna has a couple db gain on VHF and UHF.
The DJ was on the first floor, and I was on the second floor.  My scout
wasn't picking anything up, so I decided to get closer.  I ended up getting
so close to the mic, actually around 3 or 4 feet.  The scout was concealed in
a big, but the majority of the antenna stuck out of the top.  Despite being
so close, nothing.

        Scout didn't pick up anything so I tried scanning some of the popular
microphone frequencies to see if I could find it.  No luck there either.  Now
I didn't have the list of freq's in front of me, so I was scanning a range.

        I've picked up other VHF signals with my scout more than a few feet,
even low power transmitters.

        Do the majority of wireless mic's operated on approx 169mhz-171?
Are they any kind of 'spread spectrum' or digital mic's in use?  I'll list
the freq's I currently have below, please add any I'm missing.

        The only other thing I could think of to improve my chance of getting
a hit on the scout, would be to buy/make an antenna thats designed expressly
for the range I'm looking for.

Wireless Microphones:  169.445, 169.505, 170.245, 170.305, 171.045, 171.105,
171.845, 171.905.

Thanks.

Here is Radio Shack's answer to my question from their website:

PRO-26 Portable 200-Channael Scanner
(200-0506)                  Hints and Tips            Faxback Doc. # 15614

The Hyperscan/Priority button works as follows:

    When the Priority button is pushed, you can select a priority channel
    that will be scanned every two seconds.  The Hyperscan feature is
    turned off.  If you push the Priority button again, the Hyperscan
    feature is enabled, which will allow scanning of up to 50 channels per
    second.  The Priority feature is off.  When the scanner is in the
    Priority mode, the PRI will appear.  In the Hyperscan mode the PRI
    will disappear.

    This unit will only hyperscan in the 5 kHz step mode; if the hyperscan
    button is pressed when the unit is in 12.5 kHz step mode, it will beep
    to indicate that hyperscan is not possible.

And this one I heard tonight while visting a friend over at the fire

Greetings,

Well, I wanted to know if anyone with an SB16 would like to try out
this demo for a voice altering program.  I am trying to get some
feedback to whether others can get it to work on their systems.
I have used it with a SB16 VE with great results.

Comments (constructive, that is) are welcome.  You can also get the
demo off my web page under the shareware link.

Thanks for any assistance.  enjoy.

Fight back against spam.  Call his 800 number.  As soon as you hear the

While true, in the theoretical sense, a reply like the above merits
the citation of one or more practical and specific examples of
hardware, together with a source of where he can get the item(s) to
which you referred.

You gave him nothing to go on at all, which either makes him clam up
feeling unsatisfied, or come back with more questions, thereby
increasing the forum bandwidth.

But now that you mention it, -=I=- am curious as to exactly WHICH
converter will do as you say for the PRO-2026 and where it can be
obtained, and for how much?  Remember now, HE ASKED for not only
cellular, but also military, satellite, etc.

>Bill Cheek knows lots of little tricks like this I'm sure he may be
>able to help.

I stand on my original reply.  The answer is NO.  There is no way to
"add all the frequencies that did not come with it." There is no
practical way, and any theoretical way is out of the question in terms
of cost versus value.  Like adding gold plumbing fixtures to a
ramshackle hut in the Kalahari Desert.

You will notice that I have not (yet) questioned the genetics,

take note that I have not done that.

I am STILL waiting for a dissertation from you, including evidence, to

        I just picked up a BC 20/20 at a thrift store.  I figured out
        that it's pretty much like my older BC 211, but a couple things
        are different.

        Like:

        What's that "Position A/B" slide switch on the front for?

        How does the scanner know whether to use the AM or FM detector?
        Is it based on just the frequency range that's programmed?

        The RF board inside the 211 looks just like the 20/20 RF board
        except that the 20/20 has the AM detector section.  Does that mean
        that the frequency band coverage in the two are the same?  With
        the addition of the aircraft AM stuff, that is.

I understand the FCC was set to issue new antenna rules
under the new telecommunications act last week, which would
eliminate landlord, neighborhood association and city zoning
prohibitions against outdoor antennas. It was intended
primarily to free would-be customers of the satellite TV
services through mini-dishes, but the relief would apply to
all antennas for receiving any telecommunications
signals...including scanners. I'm told the FCC pulled the
new regs at the last minute without comment. Anyone know
why, or how much of the new rights we almost had we're going
to lose?

Hi,

If anyone has a list of Police Districts in Ocean County I would
greately appreciate it. I can trade the Fire station info, which I am
pretty much current on.

If you are not aware, Ocean County NJ has just installed a Motorola
Trunked Radio System (Smartnet II) for County Police Dispatch,
Sheriff, and Prosecutor's Office. The system is unique since it uses
506/508 Mhz frequencies and not the typical 800 Mhz, normally
associated with trunking.

So far, I have logged the following Talkgroups on the system:

0120    CHAN #?         County Dispatch (Zone ?)
0140    CHAN #?         County Dispatch (Zone ?)
0160    CHAN #5         Car-to-Car
0180    CHAN #?         Car-to-Car
0320    CHAN #?         Sheriff Department
0580    CHAN #?         Prosecutor Office?

This is preliminary, since signals into Camden County (from Ocean)
vary. Also, interference from Delaware County PA (they share some
frequencies) can override the control channel and voice channels,
making the logging difficult.


Joe

While I can't get real good reception, I've monitored this freq every once
in a while over the past few years. There has only been a little activity
that I could hear at my monitoring post.

It sounds like they work on antennas. I have heard them talk about
receiving sites. Today I'm getting very clr comm and they are working on
the "carrier" for whatever site they are at. (90hertz was mentioned and
"phasing the number 2 transmitter")

I've also heard them talk about being on the 15th floor of their building
and wonder where that might be and just what they are working on.

The best clue came when I heard them mention the "tower" in the past. My
guess is it's a tower at an airport. A unit once ID'd as "JFK 36". Could
these be techs working on transmitters at JFK airport in NY? (a tech was
called on the radio by the "tower" as they called themself)

I also have DES use listed in my notes from a couple of years back. It
wouldn't make sense to have these techs using it but then again they might
be. I've found the FBI using freq's that normally were used by other
agencies. Just a thought to keep in mind.

The freq is listed as a FAA channel. If you get a chance, try monitoring
at night as they are a bit more active then. One person stated they would
be busy tonight.

Thanks for any help on IDing the user.

O.K. First I recently bought a used Pro2005. I live in an apartment so I am
limited on what type of antennas I can use. I would like a decent antenna for
more or less $100. Could anyone recommend something?

Second I MUST say I've been reading this news group for over a year now, and I

have NEVER seem so much stupidity on any newsgroup before. I mean this big
fight. You know how when you start an argument and then it grows larger you
start making threats and start to lie about things... Then you start
bullshitting about stuff you reeeeeeeally don't know about..

My GOD! Have I seen some stupid shit! I've seen:

- People making DUMB (false) stories about Bill

- People "Threatening" to email bomb Bill (Oh no!!!!! a fate worse than
  death??) It's not that big a deal people.

- Bill pretending he doesn't care at all... (Yeah right it's not that big a
  deal but it's STILL anoying to have to delete stuff or set up filters or
  what not...)

-  Bill Re-posting another user's posts from alt.depresion (VERY low
   blow. I can't think of a lower thing a person could do on usenet... you'd
   make a good politician Bill..)

- A stupid person threatening to send a bomb in the mail to Bill...(not a
  smart thing to do)

- The stupid person above is actually BEYOND stupidity!!! Don't try that shit
when you don't really know much about nntp. Your information was in the
headers... We don't even have to investigate to know who you are..

- Bill thinking that ISPs Really give THAT much of a shit about his personal
problems. (I can tell you, I'm the postmaster at a college and unless
something is directly affecting the preformance of my email system I could
care less... and 50 emails a day isn't shit.)

- People saying Bill doesn't know shit.. (come on people he know what's up
  with scanners...!)

- Bill pretending he's an expert in lots of other areas he's not. He we all
know you know your shit when it somes to scanners, but lets not pretend that
makes you an all powerful overly qualified bonified genius in all areas of
life!


Well although I'd rather talk about scanners... I must admit this argument is
not to annoying to me because It's kinda fun to watch.

P.S. add me to your kill file whoever that hell it was that is always adding
everyone to his kill file... You've contributed more CRAP to this group than
anyone by replying to whole messages and just tacking "Congrats! You've been
added to my kill file" onto the end.

Here is what worked OK for me while in an apt:
Radio Shack sells a length of speaker wire with a RCA jack at one
end, and the other end free.  Split the speaker wire from the
free end for a length that approximates 1/4 wavelength of your
favorite freq range.  If not sure, split it to a length that is
good for the room size.  Stretch each end out along the wall/ceiling
seam.  Get a RCA to BNC adapter plug for the other end and you are all set.
Getting the wire as high and as long as you can helps.

I've heard of other people buying discones and setting them on top
of lamp shades, etc.  You can do this for about $50.

[...]

Agreed.  All it takes it for those involved to simply stop.
They shouldn't have to feel compelled to respond to each
little remark, at least in public.  And if they really
can't stand to let the other guy have the last word, they
should go ahead and compose a response until they feel
better and then hit the Cancel button instead of the Post
button.

ALL it takes is not bothering to reply.

I would like to buy an AOR 8000 but would like to know the positive and
negative aspects of the scanner. I was told not to get the 800mhz in the
cell band restored by the seller because it could be done using a
scanner interface. I've got a modified BC200XLT and I really don't NEED
cellular, but if I'm going to pay $600.00, I want all that I can get.
I've got a Mac so I don't know of more than maybe 1 or 2 scanner
interfaces, but my computer is able to emulate a '286.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You just need to add a 3 conductor sub-mini or mini stereo jack to the
side of the 8000. Just connect ground, tip and ring and bypass the
flat-flexi connector altogether. I did this by soldering data leads from
the flat flexi cable contact points to the stereo jack. Now I can use my
scout with the 8000 and a single stereo cable. This arrangement also
allows me to use the scout with the Opto CX-12 or Opto Lynx. I don't
have to take off the battery pack.. just plug the stereo cable into the
side of the scanner and go.

As of 5 Aug 96, JC Penneys at Atlanta Road and Windy Hill Road, in Smyrna,
GA, (which is their closeout store) had about six Bearcat BC120xlt
scanners that have been customer-returned and reconditioned.  These start
at about $49.99, much below the $139-149 that you see them advertised in
scanner catalogs.  JC Penneys also has a few other Bearcat models that
have been reconditioned starting at about $39.99.  Over the years I have
purchased 4 or 5 from there with great success, and never a problem with
the reconditioned problem.  They also have some of the same models at

Spectra & was wondering about others experience w/Austin
products.

The one dude stated a case for the "memory effect", though he went on

there were issues of semantics or perhaps these fellows discovered
something since the Gates/GE studies.  (Entirely possible, since the
Gates/GE studies are at least 10-12 years old now.)

Sorry Mike, no can do. The only way back is to reset the entire unit,
unfourtunately this includes blanking all the channels.  Something like
push and hold manuel, 1, and 9...then turn it on. (Others help with
sequence please). Good luck!

Just to clear things up... the BCT-10 is a pocket-sized (like a radar
detector) device that ONLY notifies you when you are within 3 (+/-) miles of a

highway patrol vehicle (it pick up the repeater in each patrol car that is
activated when the patrol officer uses his radio or if the dispatcher
transmits).  It is simply for allerting you, much like a radar detector.

The BCT-7 is a decent full-function scanner with the ranges you stated
earlier.  I have this scanner and I love it.  It has great coverage and good
recieve when used with a good antenna.  It's easy to program, block, and scan
individual banks continuously.  Also, it's relatively small and easy to mount
because of it's size.

IMHO there are more than one "best" recievers.  As an engineer, I have

Images are created by your scanner.  Inside the scanner there is a
little transmitter called the local oscillator that tranmits a fixed
frequency above or below the frequency you are wanting to listening to.
That frequency is called the IF (internal frequency) and is different
for different brands and models of scanner.  For my PRO-51 it's
10.8MHz.
The scanner mixes the output of the local oscillator with what it's
receiving via the antenna.  When two frequencies mix you get four
frequencies out - the two original ones, the sum, and the difference.
The difference is known - it's the IF - so the rest of the scanner
circuitry can be optimized to demodulate that specific frequency.

Most scanners actually have two internal frequencies - they go through
the frequency mixing process twice to weed out more spurrious signals.
The most expensive scanners have 3 levels of mixing (they are called
"Triple Conversion") and have almost no problems with images.

To calculate where your scanner may generate images you have to know
what your IF is.  On the PRO-51 the 1st IF is 10.8MHz and the 2nd IF is
450kHz.  You can get this information from the specs section of your
owners manual.

Possible image frequencies are <actual frequency> + or - (2 times 1st
IF).

-Carl

p.s. the 49MHz signals are the cordless phone handsets, not images of
the cordless phone bases (46MHz).

I hope you can find this in all the crap in this group (a subtle hint for all
of you who continue to hit 'F' instead of 'k' in the flames). 243.7 comes
to mind. Might try .75 as well. Let me check to be sure. Aha! Try 245.75.
I *knew* it was in the military bands somewhere.. :)

It's 245.75, Mike. It's kind of enjoyable, although at the last Snowbirds
presentation I was at (last year), 90% of the audio was patched through to
the crowdspeakers.

(And the one I was at before that (which was the one in Toronto where the
pilot died), I wasn't into scanners at that time..)

Although I don't condone breaking the ECPA, some double conversion
Radio Shack scanners (i.e. PRO-2030) will pick up cell call images from
the top of the blocked band, 896.1125 to about 917 MHz.  Subtract 21.4
MHz to realize the actual cell tower frequency.  High end triple
comversion receivers are harder to "fool" into detecting images.

Check out the info on the web for the Uniden 9000.
One of the "tips and tricks" documents explains
that celluar images can be received in a certain
freq range that the 9000 can receive.

I can't remember the exact freqs, but I think they
were somewhere near 385Mhz.  You can find the
info if you do a web search for the 9000.

I just want to know how to check if I comply or not. I downloaded the
PDF from the FCC, and the measurements listed there are WAY above me.
Is there a chart available for this?
I'm not too concerned because I only exceed 50W on 10M (100W), but
would still be interesting to know.

First,
I X-ed out the last four numbers. "To protect the innocent." <VBG>
As to getting your number, yes 800 and 888 numbers do track the callers
number (caller ID style). This was/is done to for auditing reasons.
The 800 line "owner" pays for each incoming call, and they needed a way
to prove how many calls were coming in. That way around this. Simple.
Public Phones. They are everywhere. Waiting for a meeting, make a call.
Waiting for your plane, make a call. On your way back from the bathroom,
make a call. Now I admit one would have to be obsessed to do it this
way. but the point is, it can be done.

Long live the fight against SPAM !

Does anyone know off hand if they are using the IEEE C92.1 limits? If
so, Anybody trying to transmit at the normal 100W in a residential
neighborhood (ie, low wire dipole antenna) may be in trouble. Forget
about using attic antennas. The standard penalizes efficient antennas.
I also believe the limits vary wiith frequency; I know that that the
allowable ERP at 800MHz is only about 0.4W, compared to the previous
7W Max. transmitter power (the old standard did not consider antenna
efficiency). I also know that 800MHz products designed well below the
7W transmitter power level usually did not meet the 0.4W ERP or that
other parameter, SAR (for products held close to the ear). Yes, our
handheld devices may be exempted but my point is that, if FCC is using
the 1992 IEEE standard, amateurs in residential areas (a large portion
of the ham population) will at the very least be marginal at 100W, if
they use wire dipoles, G5RV's, slopers etc.,  and I believe the small
600W linears will be out of the question. I hate to sound like I'm
sounding a false alarm but I'm not ready yet to buy into ARRL's
contention ( D. Sumner) that the new regulation will show how safe
amateur installations really are. I'm sure he has a high tower to take
advantage of 1/R**2. The new IEEE limits are much lower than the
previous standard, but we will not start seeing this until after we
start making the measurements.

Uhh..you do realize that rainwater does not meet EPA regulations for discharge
into public bodies of water? EPA rules say pH MUST be 6-8. The fact that
absorbed carbon dioxide makes it pH 5.5 makes rainwater a violation of EPA
regulations.

Also spring floods due to particulates. To say nothing of natural background

Exactly! What about hospitals (where one goes to get healed supposedly)
and their 5 kilowatt ERP pager antennas? I'm serious, I've seen the specs
required by some hospitals here in Md for their paging network. Not to
mention commercial pagers.

Like the new bogus stricter vehicle emmissions laws, if you don't meet EPA
requirement you have to pay waiver penalty (in Maryland, $150 for 2
years).

Sounds like another money-grubbing scam from Washington.

Send me some info about modifying the BC200XLT too. I attempted to modify
mine with info collected from an ftp site, so it would accept cellular
freqs. But it was garbage info, now it has to be sent off to be repaired!

Any info (that works) about altering the BC200XLT would be greatly
appreciated!!!!!

Thanks ahead of time!!!

It is used a lot here, but when we say it it confuses our dispatchers.
(Then again, when we say "Dispatch" it confuses our dispatchers.) How
about car vs. dog, patient trapped? No, it wasn't the dog.. don't ask me
how, 'cause I didn't see the scene, but the driver of the car was pinned..

...Burger King Dispatches........
Several years ago there were two dispatches that made news in the Trade
magazines:
(Firehouse, Fire Chief,etc..)
...Medical dispatch to a Burger King for a man having a seizure "A flopper
at the Whopper stop"
And a fire dispatch where the repeated false alarm activations had been
causing the dispatchers to sing the "Have it Your Way" song. This time ,
however the building WAS on fire and was destroyed. The dispatchers
involved, were also allowed to take up singing at another place of
employment......

Funny Names on licenses....

in Chicago, we had a list of license plates that came back to real names

The two warning systems in use Here in UK are called Traffic Master
and Traffic Mate.

Traffic Master uses a graphical display to show the location of
motorway holdups and accidents. I believe the transmitters are
co-sited with cellular telephone transmitters.

The Traffic Mate system uses a small dash mounted receiver, similar
in appearance to a Radar detector, which produces a spoken warning
message. these operate in the 433 Mhz shared Amateur band at only a
few milliwatts power. The transmitters are grey boxes mounted on the
embankment near junctions and bridges, with two aerials mounted
above. One aerial is longer than the other and they appear to be
encased in lengths of grey plastic pipe.

I supect that one is the transmit aerial, and the other receives data
from the control centre, but I may be wrong.

Cheers,,,,Jack.

Michigan State Police is still on low-band. SE Michigan is supposed to go

These frequencies are "trunked" -- Basically several groups share the
frequencies and they have a code so they know when to open squelch.
The other problem you are experiencing is the nasty trunk tone at the
end of the transmission.

There are ways to eliminate the trunk tone, and there are ways being
developed to decode and follow the trunk group code. Both require
additional hardware.

Help..
I just put up a discone antenna about 40 feet up..fed it with coax
and the radios' performance seems to suffer when i connect the coax.

when i attach only the "center-pin" of the coax, the antenna seems to
work, but not well...any ideas?

thanks

bob.

My guess is that the coax is shorted. You may want to inspect the
connectors at each end for a small piece of braid touching the center connecto
r.
If you have an ohm meter or a continuity tester of some sort, disconnect both
ends
and check for continuity between the center and the outside shield. It should
be
infinite.
Good luck.

What a coincidence!  I just posted a similar question on
alt.radio.scanner about my discone antenna problems.  I seem to be
getting weather on all my 100's freqencies.  I'm not sure what you mean
by "performance" though.  Anyway I hope you clear up your problem.

What type of cable are you using and how long from one end to another?

Depending on the frequency and type of cable, you could be losing more
then 50% of your signal  in only 50 feet of cable.  Even though you
are gaining in antenna height your end result may be worse if you are
losing more in  the cable length.

50feet of rg-58 cable at 400mhz is about 50% loss if I remember
correctly.  This is even worse in higher frequencies.

But what you often gain in height may often overcome the loss in cable
length.


 If you are connecting only the center pin and see a better signal
this could be because your whole length of cable is now becoming an
antenna (poor one, but better then the possible loss you may have)
If this is the case then the shield connected only would do even
better.

If you are going to check for short in one of the connecters then
disconnect it from the antenna as well.  Some antennas use a balum
(sp?) (transformer) The antenna may look like a DC short but at radio
frequencies it is not.

Cable is so very very important. Most people can not afford the cost
of proper cable, and have never seen what should really be using. In
this case keep the length as short as possible.

Your problem sounds like a cable (feed line) problem.

Are you using a lighter adapter??  What freq's do you find the noise to be the

worst??   Are you using an ext ant??

Does the problem get worse when the cooling fan comes on??

I've since learned that some vehicles have a pump that keeps running
for  recirculating the gas from the thank to the engine. (maybe to
prevent vapor lock)

You may be right but I'm not aware of any that will cycle on and off.
If their is a great fuel demand, it would take too long for pressure
to build up again. BTW may now have fuel pumps at the gas tank
instead.  Easier to pump then to suck.

I wonder if this guy found the noise problem yet.

Huh?  Think about it.  If that were true, then there would
be no need for the special classification of "restricted"
orifices.  Actually, it's ANY other orifice where flow is
directly proportional to the pressure  drop across it.
The flow through a restricted orifice reaches max volume with
only a LITTLE pressure drop and any further increase in
pressure results in little or no increase in flow.  THAT is the
purpose of a restricted orifice !!

Calibrated restricted orifices are used to establish standard
flows that don't vary with varying pressures.  Kind of like
zener diodes a little.

Actually I'm an apprentice at scanners.  I used restricted
orifices in gas chromatography years ago....possibly before
you were born, or when you were scooting around in 3-corner
shorts, maybe.

There is alot of info on the main page, also check out the track

we went to the US 500 in May and didn't miss a thing.

I used to pay for this info now I get it for free. I love the net.

 a) is it leagle to take a scanner back and forth on the international

     flight?

 b) can I leagally listen/transport a scanner in England?

 c) if so, what freqs should I listen to there?

 The scanner I would be using is a pro 34 (cell unblocked)

all info greatly appreciated.  thanks.

That's VERY good question. I suggest that you contact the Customs
service at the airport from which you leave.  Also, I think that I'd
put the scanner in my hold baggage, rather than carry it on.  BTW the
U.S. Customs people have a form that you can fill out so that they
don't charge you import tax on your scanner upon re-entry. Check it
out.

Hi,

I remember there being a discussion about 'high power' FM transmitters
that did not need an FCC license. When I say high power, I am thinking
0.5W/1W? Ramsey electronics rings a bell.

The situation I have is that I want to set up a transmitter in the fire
house to rebroadcast our trunked radio system for the local members (and
anyone else that wants to listen in). I am about 0.5 miles away and
oviously would like to benefit from this venture!

What comments do people have? What would be the best and/or least
intrusive way to interface with the fire radio itself? What kind of
antenna would you suggest to achieve a 0.5 mile distance?

Thanks - Bryan.

I
replaced it quickly and easily (kid-proof too).  Take a glue
gun stick and a sharp knife.  Snip off a mini-marshmallow size
chunk.  Heat the bare antenna tip in a gas flame, and plunge
into your hand.  Owww!  No, really -  plunge it into the
chunk of glue stick.  When it cools down, the glue stick will
be bonded securly to the antenna tip and Jr. will be back in
business.

Pulled out my Mr. Scanner listing, and here's what I find relating to
helicopyer:

155.220  Hospital Helicopyer Consortia
155.340  (same)
122.950  (same)

Grant has listings for 152.007, 155.175, 155.220, 155.280,155.400, & 157.450.
No listings found for SkyMed. The 155.220-155.400 range is all the hospitals
in the Columbus area (Grant, Riverside, etc..)

This book is also about a year old.. hope it helps

Sounds like an interference filter that the phone company puts on when
the local AM station bleeds over onto your phone.

Cowboy Bob asked: What handheld scanner should I buy?

I'v had several in that past couple of years and they are all good!
Seriously, you didn't say how much you wanted to spend. If you're willing
to go for $400, get the BC3000XLT (or the UBC3000XLT European no-gap
version); if you're willing to go for $600, get an AOR8000.

Rather than go in to the nits and grits of each here, get yourself to
Javiation (www.demon.co.uk/javiation) web sites and look over the
tech-specs.

All well and good that folks are talking about FCC rules and

are about as useful as the spite wars against/about BC.  There are
other newsgroups devoted to amateur radio topics.

I use an Enstore Heart Print Charger module set up to charge at 8Amps.
I charge 2A-H camcorder batteries at a 4*C rate in about 20minutes to
30minutes without the battery temperature changing from room temperature.
Enstore Corporation makes the EnChip and they are located in Austria.
I think they now have a complete charger based on the EnChip and set up
to charge at 4C rates for different battery configurations.

Northstar and Southstar use the New Jersey State Police 800 Mhz.
trunked radio system for communications. Specifically, Southstar is
dispatched by Gloucester County and Northstar is dispatched by REMS
all on the trunked system. In addition to dispatch, both choppers are
patched to their respective assigned Trauma Center. For example,
Southstar uses Cooper Hospital (Trauma Center) in Camden. Medcomm
would set up the phone patch to Cooper.

The 800 Mhz frequencies are listed in Police Call for the trunked
systems, which there are 3. Troop A system is South, Troop B is North,
and Troop C is Central. You would need to place all the licenced
frequencies in your scanner, lock-out the control channel, and use no
scan delay. The system is starting to get crowded and is hard to
follow sometimes.  However, these channels are system-wide and can be
heard on all 3 systems in simulcast! Ie, I can hear Northstar working
Troop B in N. Jersey from listening to Troop A from my home in S.
Jersey.

As for air-to-ground frequencies a popular one that Southstar uses is
154.265 "South Jersey Fire Net" with NO PL TONE. but they normally use
that or the local fireground frequency for the municipality that the
incident is located. All you will here here is the helicopter
contacting the LZ Coordinator (Landing Zone) for info about the site's
characteristics (eg, high tension wires in area).

But when the chopper is dispatched, the coordinates (latitude,
longitude, and heading), frequency information(air-to-ground), and
ground contact (LZ coordinator)  is communicated to the helicopter.

Also do not forget the AIRBAND helicopter channel of 123.05 AM.
Southstar uses this sometimes and 123.45 as a chit-chat channel.

Enjoy,

Joe Cardani

I just did a review of PROBE for the CARMA Newsletter.  I really liked
this program, and it was much better than ScanStar or Radio Manager,
IMHO.  If you have a Mac, then WAVE is the way to go.

Probe is designed for the OS456/OS535 only, while ScanStar will run
several different radios.  Wave is also OS456/OS535 specific as well.

Do not get one of the new FLEX format pagers. The Flex format uses a
higher baud rate than the older POCSAG pagers. The FLEX transmitters
provide less than one half of the coverage area that is provided by
transmitter using the POCSAG format. Unfortunately, most paging
companies are switching to the flex format. Why are they doing this?
The answer is very simple. At the higher flex baud rate, they can
accomodate alot more customers on a single frequency. This eliminates
the cost of having to install additional transmitters on new
frequencies.

I keep wondering why everyone puts down FLEX so much.
It is true that FLEX is capable of a higher data rate then POCSAG.
However it should be noted that FLEX is better in weak signal
conditions. Many carriers in the US are using 2400 baud POCSAG, a FLEX
signal at 3200 baud is more reliable then the 2400 baud POCSAG page.
I do personally still prefer POCSAG 512 on VHF though.
I should also mention that many carriers in the US do not know how to
properly setup a FLEX system, there are a ton of system considerations
and it does require more time and dollars to set up properly. With a
properly designed FLEX system not only will you get reliable pages,
but your pager battery will last a lot longer then a similar POCSAG
pager.

Jim, I currently have Advisor 2 pagers I am using - each for a different
use.  One of them is the Advisor and the other is the Advisor Gold Flex.
Both are on the same frequency.  I get more errors on the non-Flex
Advisor.  The Flex one has served me well.  I get all my pages with no
problem.  On the other hand, I'll receive error on the POCSAG Advisor.

This is only from my experience.

Steve, I am totally for you as a FLEX user... this is from my experience
with them.  I also have one of the old Advisor (non-flex) that I still
use (company).

Jim, I am in California also.  I travel from southern California to
northern California quite often.  From Lake County in Northern California
to San Diego on the south.  I've been in the mtns and canyons of Angeles
Nat'l Forest and also San Bernadino Forest. Napa County and Lake County
has some nice RF holes!  It also works nicely in
hospitals.  I am also on ProNet Medical Paging systems, which works great
w/i hospitals (never miss a page). On the FLEX pager, I have missed
pages in the basement and several x-ray rooms.. but that is expected.

The police dispatch in my local area will often dispatch a call involving
an HVD or HBD person.  The letters are something like that.  I can't
clearly hear the letters.  I am assuming this is an individual that is
intoxicated.  Can someone please help me with this perplexing question.
Thanks and happy scanning.

Sure, , , These are more or less generic.
HBD = Has Been Drinking
DWI = Driving While Intoxicated
DUI = Driving Under the Influence

May I suggest that if you are really interested in this kind of thing,
the book called "Monitoring America" is an excellent reference.

Cheek doesn't want to continue this crap any more than anyone else. I've
exchanged e-mail on this and we've found common ground. I'm sure that if
you want the crap to stop, all you have to do is get back to scanning.

The PRO-30 uses *two* sets of batteries.  It uses convential
AA cells to power the audio, RF, and IF stages and uses small
"hearing aid" style batteries for memory backup.  Make sure
you replace those batteries, too.

Those little button batteries for the memory are located inside the other
battery compartment. Open the compartment, remove the holder for the 6 x
AA cells and inside is a small panel one can slide over and then remove.
When replacing these batteries try to minimise touching them with your
fingers or clean off the surface. Body oils can oxidise on them a bit and
reduce contact. Replace that little panel and slide into place. Replace
AA cell holder and re-enter freqs! TTFN John

I switched from a Pro-43 to  a Pro 60 not too long ago. I lost 824-829 Mhz
(no big deal) and gained some coverage on the lower end like the FM BCB.  I
also am no longer plagued with images from the TV transmitting tower a few
blocks away. Don't really notice much differnce in sensitivity but I don't do
much VHF/UHF dx chasing with it to make a comparison. The only negative I
can find is it seems to discharge the nicads a bit quicker.  I have no real
data on this, maybe the old nicads are just wearing out. I would be interested

if anybody has looked into this aspect of the Pro-60.

I've been tinkering with my PRO-60 trying to come up with a mod for it.
I'm no rocket scientist, but I have pretty good understanding for how
these things work.  If there's anyone else out there who has experience
with scanners who'd like to help me out coming up with a PRO-60 mod,
please send me an email.

I've narrowed down some possibilities for the mod would have to be made,
I'd love to share them with someone.

thanks!

Hi all,

Does anyone have any mod for the Pro. 51. Also, any recommendations for
a good, semi cheap, all frequency scanner. :)

Thanks,

I have the same setup; a Pro-2006 and the $59.00 discone antenna.  I have
used this for about 3 years have not experienced any problems like you
have.  I would guess you have a problem with your cable leaking, or
something is wrong with your radio.  Take it to shack and have them tune
it, etc.  Or try replacing coax.  What's wrong with leaving the atenuater
switch on?  I use it with my computer on, and have no problem with
reception.  That's all I can tell you.

I used to have a subscription to Monitoring Times. I dropped it because
there was very little worthwhile information about scanning, for one
thing. The fact that the articles and columns for the most part were
nothing more than thinly disguised advertisements for Grove and Grove
products, wan the other reason.

Wow, no kidding?

So criminals shouldn't be jailed, "whether they deserve it or not"?
If a wannabe mugger approaches your wife and....... you'd do nothing?

Where do you draw the line between "appropriate" and "inappropriate"
and where are these standards to be found etched into the granite of
Life?

Lastly, why are you "considering" dropping the subscription and
talking about it in public at the same time?  Do you want others to
support your "considerations" and deliberations?  Are you drumming up
a little gang-bang or something?

Off color remarks!  Geezus, fella, what kind of leverage are you
contemplating on those "offenders" whose remarks were ten times more
vulgar and obscene than mine?  Are you working on them, too?  Go up
your article queue just a little ways and look for a post from
"Drunkman".  What are you going to do about HIM?

And let me guess......YOUR remarks above are "on-color" and very
appropriate for this forum, right?

Ri---ght.

I'm looking to put an antenna in my attic.  Anyone have
experience with the Radio Shack Discone antenna?
The max. space I have available is 6 ft, 5 in.  Looking
at it in the store, it doesn't appear to have a top element
above the horizontal short elements.

I am particularily interested in performance in the
low band range 30-50 mhz.

I will put a big San Diego file on my FTP site later today.  It's big,
and is best served with a real database manager.  The file is called
SANDIEGO.ZIP, the contents of which are in ASCII comma-delimited
format, eminently suited for dropping into any database manager.  My
FTP sites are in the sig line below.

        Since you are entering all the data, any word processing program
or database program or spreadsheet will work.  Just put the information
in different columns (PL, freq., channel, etc. and with a database
program or a spreadsheet you can print them out in any order.  Depending
upon the program and your printer's capabilites you can print it
compressed or sideways for attaching to your scanner or carrying in your
pocket.

I also agree with Joseph and Bill, et al.  I have always found it best to do
lists like this in Excel (my personal preference - Works, Lotus, Quattro
Pro, your favorite database, etc. - whatever your personal bias is) where
I could easily change the format to make different styles of reports or
only print certain sections, etc.

But to answer your original question Sam, you were trying to remember the
name of a frequency database that you had seen several years ago.  Perhaps
that was Scanner Buff (scanr###.zip - where "###" is a version number).  You
could try to do an Archie search on the Internet for it or check a few of
your local BBSes.  Aaron M. also suggested Tune-In...I'm not familiar with
that one but these are probably what you are looking for.  Send me an E-Mail
note if you can't find it and I'll see if I can help.

Good luck!
Bill

That's all well and good, Aaron....and something like that MIGHT help
a green-weeny computist and novice scannist get himself bootstrapped
off the ground.  But those kinds of programs are dead-ended and go
nowhere in terms of keeping pace with the user as he grows.  They are
hard as hell to export data from and import data into, and to expand
or tailor for custom needs.

You're basically stuck with what the programmer thinks you need and
want, and that's that.  But a simple, easy-to-use database manager
like the one in MS WORKS grows as you want and need.  Not only that,
but you can use it for a hundred other things besides freqs.  There is
just hardly any solid use for those old dedicated freq data managers
anymore.  This is the day and age of high power computing.

Like one minute, I am running a manufacturing plant from my PC; the
next minute, a publishing company and press; and the next, a design
engineering lab.  My data needs to flow from one point to another
without anyone else but ME deciding WHERE, WHEN, HOW MUCH, etc.

Now there ain't nuthin wrong with a program like you mentioned, for
those who can't make anything else work, but those puppies have pretty
much seen better days.

Bravissimo for you, then!  It's awful hard to peg how easy something
will be for someone else.  I had used AppleWorks integrated software
on my Apple IIe computers for several years before I took the plunge
into PC's in '91 and latched onto MS WORKS at that time.

For me, WORKS came easy because the database manager in AppleWorks was
vaguely similar......and "vaguely" in databases means MUCH.   :-)  I
had more trouble with WORKS' word processor than the spreadsheet or
database.

Nowadays I use MS ACCESS for my main database manager, but you know
what?
MS WORKS remains the front end for most everything I do.  I mean, I'll
grab a freq or other data file from somewhere; process it in WORKS
first, and then export it to ACCESS when it's good and ready.

WORKS is sort of like a 6" Crescent wrench; a 6" set of flat and cross
point scewdrivers; an allen wrench set; and a pair of pliers.  You
just stick 'em in pocket and forget they're there until you need 'em;
then use the hell out of 'em.  Nooooooo, nothing beats a 5-ft high
Craftsman tool cart loaded for bear....but.....

Scanners will leak a little RF, but the value is very very very small. The
local oscillator puts out a pure high freq RF carrier. Then there are
the intermediate freqs.

Why not live dangerously and take up ham radio. We are talking serious
RF energy now.

Hi Peter:

On the flights that I have been on where the airline made air to
ground communications available to passengers, the communications were
between the aircraft and the air traffic control.  However, there is a
separate set of channels set around 130 Mhz that are the "company"
channels used for private communication between pilots and company
ground support.  This includes all kinds of discussions involving
mechanical problems, sick passengers, whether scheduled connections
can still be made due to late schedule, and a whole host of things
that I suspect that the airlines would prefer that the customers not
hear.  This is the channel that I believe they do not want the
passengers to be monitoring.  I have never heard this channel made
available on the passenger audio system.

Best wishes,
Raymond Makul

Depends on why the person bought the scanner.  There's those that buy them
just to listen to the Highway Patrol, other buy them to listen to what's out
there.  I like finding frequencies in use during a fair, or used by a company.
 I also enjoy giving out the frequency to those who ask for it.

What you are saying may come true for the audio trunk systems. However the
new standard is the digital trunk systems which will make even those
scanners obsolete.
Your only option might be to bribe the  technicians involved on the
digital systems!

I sure hope this is not the case. It isn't for me. There are certainly
a lot of changes going on. Some good and some bad. I think one of the
magazines recently did a spot on this subject (haven't kept up on my
reading lately) I guess it means that those in the hobby need to adapt
to those changes and kind of "go with the flow". My interpretation of
this is that we explore and find new and different things to do with
the hobby. One of the best things about living at this time is that
things are changing so rapidly (off topic, but an example is home PC
units. A few years ago 1.2 gig hard drives and 16 meg ram were out
of the question, now they are the norm) so with the changes, search out
the new, the unique and the exciting. It will be there for those who
seek it. (I agree with the trunking issue making it more difficult to
deal with. as yet, my interests haven't been modernized to make the
trunking issue germane to me. I do hope, however, that I'll be able to
still subscribe to my thoughts above when it does.) :-)

        Scanning is not dying, merely changing!  Technology will always be in
a race to better itself.

Radar-----radar detectors----- radar detector detectors-----stealth
radar detectors.
Atari- ----commodore-----386-----486-----pentium
Radio-----scanners-----encoding-----decoding-----digital and
trunking------etc.

        We just have to keep inventing and keeping up.

Has any one tried Grove's Scantenna alongside a discone, like Radio
Shack's or Nevada or something along those lines?

I've used the Scantenna for a couple of years and like it a lot, at least
I did until I moved a couple of miles down the road last year. Now, I
thinking I might be able to reach out a grab a few more freqs and
pondering whether a discone might be an improvement. I don't want to a
beam antenna (too lazy to fuss with a rotator).

I also many years ago learned this the hard way.  I found better
results with a  1/4 wave VHF antenna (about a 19" wipe) then the
discone. I think the term is "Unitygain" being no gain at all!

In the fall of 1993 ScanWare Associates released version 1.1 of the
FCC Frequency Retrieval System (FCC FRS).  In the following months
improvements and enhancements were made until the latest version, 2.15
was released in the summer of 1994.  The program has proven to be so
stable and user-friendly since that time that no further changes were
deemed necessary.  The FCC FRS as a DOS-based program has enjoyed
exceptional popularity and has proven itself a valuable tool to over
1000 customers who have used and continue to use the program.  Only
twice in the entire history of the FCC FRS has ScanWare been asked to
refund a purchase.  It is believed that no other frequency retrieval
program either DOS or Windows based can make that statement.  Judging
from user comments that we have received, no other retrieval system
has ever produced the level of user satisfaction that ScanWare's FCC
FRS has provided.

It is with much personal sadness that ScanWare Associates announces
that on September 1st, 1996 we will no longer be accepting orders for
the FCC FRS or any related products which we have offered in the past.
Our most recent purchase of data includes the 1st QTR 1996 FCC Data.
No further updates of data will be forthcoming from ScanWare. We will
continue to honor any outstanding free database certificates however
data provided will be limited to the current database on hand.  Any
certificates sent in for redemption must be accompanied by a check or
money order in the amount of $5.00 to cover media, preparation, and
shipping.  Credit card payment will not be acceptable.  Technical
support of all ScanWare products will be limited only to any answers
or solutions which can be provided via email.  Replacement files may
be provided via email at ScanWare's discretion but we make no claims
or guarantees as to their continued availability.

The ScanWare Associates BBS will cease all operations at midnight on
August 31st, 1996.  The ScanWare Associates Web Page at URL:
http://sincom.com/~scanware/index.html
and the ScanWare Associates email address:      [e-mail]
will continue operation until such time as we consider their
usefulness at an end.

ScanWare Associates wishes to thank all of our customers and friends
who have supported our efforts.  We hope that you will continue to use
the FCC FRS as you have in the past and that you will continue to
remain our friends.  Although we will no longer be retailing the FCC
Frequency Retrieval System and its related products, ScanWare
Associates as an entity will continue to exist and we will continue to
pursue activites in those areas of most interest to us.  Perhaps in
the future we will meet again.

Sincerely,

Mr. Mackey,

In the future, if you are going to quote me, please don't do so out of
context.  In your post #60181, you left out the post that I was
replying to.  It couldn't have been for your concern of wasting
bandwidth since wasting bandwidth appears to be your mission.  Speaking
of missions, I hear that Uncle Charley has taken a sudden interest in
you.  Have you been a naughty boy again Johnny?  Ha, Ha, Ha!

George

Yup!

Rule #1 - Do not use the delay channel.

Depends on the type of system, but generally no. If you could email me
to tell me what service(s) you are monitoring that in trunked, I may
be able to help. I know of several public service trunked systems in
the area. NJSP Troop C (Motorola) and South Brunswick
Township(GE/Ericsson).

If you are interested in NJSP, it seems to have an order to it (with
some exceptions), but it is NOT the frequency-decending order that
some publications publish.  Again, I may be able to help here. I can
also email you the Fleet/Subfleet assignments that I logged which may
come in handy to understand ALL the users on the system. And how it
can be almost impossible to monitor with a conventional
scanner...especially during the day.

If you want to monitor GE/Ericsson..go out and buy a trunking tone
eliminator board for you scanner.

        I can't really speak for other cities, but where I am right
now (El paso, Texas), the police department has kept their allocations
for frequencies in the 400MHZ band, and every once in a while my
scanner will pick up transmissions from "special operations" that the
PD would rather not tie up a trunked channel with.  Chances are, if a
situation like that happened here, communications would be cut off for
a while until someone figures it out and starts using the 400MHZ
system again.

        And even _if_ that weren't possible, we still have the
Sheriff's department, which has always used 154.960 MHz (and judging
by how "technologically advanced" they are, they'll probably never
LEAVE that channel, either <G>).

Use the TV antennae. In a world of perfection, yes there are better
alternatives. In a world of practical considerations, ie time, expense
etc., a TV antennae works surprisingly well. You will hear the arguement of
polarization worthy of consideration. Again, try the TV set-up first - you
may be very pleasantly surprised.

As an assist, use the best cable possible in conjunction with an amplifier
up on the mast.

  That *shouldn't* pose such a problem.  Remember the first IBM PC's?
They had software in their BIOS that was copyrighted, but in no time
several companies had "reverse engineered" compatible software that
worked more or less interchangably with the "True Blue" BIOSes.
I don't think IBM (monster that it is), ever tried to sue them.

  Of course, the potential microcomputer market was much larger than
the scanner marketplace, but still this shows what *can* be done.

  Another "sort-of shady" scenario I have envisoned is one where a company
develops the software (copyright infringing or not) and the hardware for
trunk following, scrambling decryption, whatever and sells THE HARDWARE
ONLY.

  So then the hardware is no good right?  Well they secretly release
the software to BBSes and FTP sites all over the country (untraceable
to them)... free, but only useful to people that had purchased the hardware
(whose price includes the development costs of the software).  With copies
all over the place, the copyright holder would be unable to keep them
from being distributed, and the "cat would be out of the bag."
  This would also mean that the scanner (hardware) would pretty much
have to have an RS-232 or similar port (for transferring the software),
which is a feature most of us want anyway.
  This is a daring scenario, but possible.

combination of conductive rubber and micro screen in these areas to keep
those nasty RF's either in or out.......but a scanner.....???...good
luck.....of course any old can of metallic silver paint will work just
great. Don't forget to somehow attach it to the scanner chassis

most rechargeable batery packs use the same size cells. I had a similar proble
m
with a laptop batery and was able to use the batery cells from a remote contro
ll
car batery pack.  the cells used in these batterys are about .9 inches in
diameter and 1.7 inches long. they run about 1.2 volts each, and sould work as

long as you have he right combined voltage.

In general, the media dispatch frequencies are in the 450-451 and 455-456 rang
e (some
repeaters, some simplex).

The Interruptible Foldback (IFB) frequencies are usually in the 161-162 range.
  Some stations

You mean that there was a 'Bill Gate' that made that
same quote as 'Bill Gates'in '82?

I don't know the frequency, but you probably can still get crystals through yo
ur local
Radio Shack.  I just did a couple months ago. Cheap ($5) and fast service. The
 store
should have a catalog which lists the scanners and their IF along with frequen
cies
available.

, 453.400,
460.375.

How about $3/each if you want them. These work with 10.7 mhz IF.

1 Mile per watt? Is that statute or nautical miles? That's one I
haven't heard yet.  I guess that's why my 100 watt UHF transmitter goes
100 miles point-to-point  ;o)

In all fairness, you were right to point the fellow to GMRS or maybe
the new FRS for his noise-free short-range comm needs.

P.S. Bill, you can expect a little ribbing for that range formula.

RK,

In the August issue of Monitoring times, Scanning Report section,
details problems with trunking systems that municipalities
experienced. These are excerpts from the MT column. Please read the
entire column for all of the details.

MT noted that Huntsville Alabama has many problems with their system.
Not only did the system alienate the department from the public, but
Federal agencies such as the FBI were no longer able to monitor the
communications. The police even admitted that the trunking system was
not necessary. Some police officers were having such a hard time with
the new trunking system, they bought CB radios from Radio Shack to
communicate! The city spent 4.5 million dollars on a so-called state
of the art trunked system and some police are relying on CB radios.

MT has also heard of problems with trunked radio systems in Portland
Oregon, and Kansas City MS.

Yes, the TR-1200 is what ACE Communications started selling the AR-1000 as
when they lost the US distributorship for AOR brand products.

To program a search bank:

SEARCH
PROG
[enter lower frequency limit]
LIMIT
[enter upper frequency]
ENT
[enter search step increment in KHz]
AM/FM/WFM (if needed)
ENT
search bank# [0-9] ENT


To select several consecutive search banks to be used:

SEARCH
BANK
PROG
[lowest search bank] 0-9
LIMIT
[highest search bank] 0-9
ENT


EXAMPLE:

To search the air band:

1. Place 108-136, AM mode, 25 KHz increments into bank 0:

        SEARCH PROG 108 LIMIT 136 ENT 25 ENT AM ENT 0 ENT

2. Program search mode to use banks 0 thru 0:

        SEARCH BANK PROG 0 LIMIT 0 ENT

Then hit SEARCH.

Using an antenna designed for the frequency of interest will provide some
rejection of unwanted frequencies. You must be in a unique situation because
I have heard of Scout owners who get lockups in the FM broadcast band.
I am looking forward to owning a Scout soon to go with my AR8000.

Hi,

I have the following problem; I want to buy an AR8000 scanner and nowhere
in the Netherlands can I get one!!

I have asked the same question to about 10 different shops and not a single
one of them is able to deliver one. The problem seems to be the CE certificate
.
Therefor I have the following questions:

- Does anybody know if this is true?
- What is the e-mail or web address of AOR?
- Do the scanners that are sold in the UK have the CE certificate?
- Does anybody know an address in the Netherlands where they do sell the AR800
0?

Any help would be appreciated,

Patrick van de Steeg.

One of my portables is a Pro-43 and I was wondering if one of the techies in t
he
group could suggest a source for a better Rubber Duckie antenna.  I've got a
feeling that somebody out there makes a better replacement antenna.  Does
anybody make one optimized for VHF-Hi and another for UHF?

Another good replacement duck is the Larsen KD 2/70(I think that's
it).another is the Icom 1372,a dual bander antenna.Both these STINK below

First off, let me say a mini-FAQ is loooong overdue, and I'm glad someone
has taken the initiative to do it.  Add these to your list.

1>  Where can I find mods for scanners?
2>  Where can I find FCC allocation tables?
3>  Are there any web pages on ham radio/scanners?
4>  What can I expect a frequency counter to do?

Definitely mention ftp at oak.oakland.edu in pub/hamradio.  There have been
plenty of lists put out.  Although web pages come and go, if you list 20
of them, at least one will still be up, probably with links to othe rnew
and valid pages.  Definitely mention http://www.li.net/~j4dice/scanli.html.
That's the address for Long Isalnd Scanning Resources.  It has frequencies
for almost every state, as well as aviation freqs, etc.

Although I'm fairly new myself, I might be able to provide some help in
answering the questions as I've recently asked and gotten good responses
for some of the popular requests.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Keith

Hello Tracy,

What state do you live in? The FBI has a few standard freq's but they use
different freq's by and large depending on the area of the Country the
Office is in.

About 8 years ago in the NJ/NY area things changed from the 163 and 167
bands used to the 169-174 band currently in use.

The standard usage seems to be in the 166-168 band these days. Most
everyone will hear them on a few freq's w/i this band.

They most popular ones are 166.050, 167.2125, 167.2625, 167.2875,
167.5125. I'm sure someone will post a nice list if you give the
specifics, like your state.

Regards,
LGS

Hi Rich, all 30 pages of the FCC text are to be found at URL:

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Cable/Orders/fcc96328.txt

Part of the FCC page at URL:

Lets all hope they extend this ruling to the Amateur Radio Service.

Good Luck with the HOA -- mine is hopeless.

Rich: A copy of the Report and Order In the Matter of Preemption
of Local Zoning Regulation of Satellite Earth Stations
can be downloaded or read at http://www.fcc.gov

Look for it in the headlines section on the first page for the
link.  I'm not sure it will help you if you're in a townhouse and
don't own any roof/outside wall rights.

I'm just curious Gary, did you use a speaker mike all the time?  And
did you transmit with the radio on your belt?

  YEAH!!!!!  That's the ticket.  Not only can they NOT restrict you
from having a tower, you MUST have at least, say, a 100 foot tower.

  If you can't afford one, the government must assist you in getting
one... today FOOD STAMPS, tomorrow TOWER STAMPS!!  :-)

I've seen postings in this newsgroup by persons who had freqs for
Springfield, MO, but I've lost the source information.  Since my dad
has become a scanner hobbyist and has just moved back there I'd like
to supply him with some frequencies.  Can anyone help me, or refer me
to a source?

Thanks,  Mike

Hello,

I have spent the better part of the last year scanning in my local
area.  I started with the Beyond Police Call 1996 edition as my basic
frequency guide and it seemed fine, however I thought the content was
a bit sparse.  The descriptions of my town and surrounding towns was
quite terse.  There was no fire frequency listed for my town ---
instead it directed me to a nearby town to look for the frequency.
Also, I didn't care for the business listings in a separate section.
Anyway, I thought this was my only choice here in Mass, but I found
that there were at least two other very fine publications - The
Official Massachusetts Frequency Guide and Scanner Master
Massachusetts 5th Ed.  IMHO, both are superior to the Police Call in
content and layout.  The Scanner Master book is the best of the lot
with clear explanations of what the main frequencies for each town are
used for.  A large amount of detail on Boston channel systems.  Good
sections on media, special events in the area (Boston Marathon), etc.
The maps in this book are also fine in detail and give an idea as to
where the areas are for coverage of a particular police/fire channel
in the covered metro area.

So... It turns out that the Scanner Master guides are only published
for a few states and it appears that the "Official Frequency" guides
are only published for the New England area.  I was wondering if there
were better alternatives to the Police Call in other parts of the
country?  Any comments about frequency guides that you use would be
enlightening...

Thanks in advance,

Dave Bernazzani

For Colorado give Scan Colorado! a try. It's written by Brian Gould
and updated about once a year. He's got EMS, Police, Fire, Aviation,
Military, Government, Railroad, News media, Amateur Radio and other
stuff all listed by freq. or aphabetically lsted so it's easy to use.
Scan Colorado! is at most news stands or you can get direct from him.

Really?  The Enterprise has run aground in it's home port of Alameda
before.

And a lightship is not the same as a lighthouse.

Yes, military intelligence in action.. :)

I Agree.  This querry is often made in our small town.  We have two
volunteer fire departments and ambulance services. The local PD has some
emergency response medical equipment on board their cruisers. Our E-911
is located at the FD with a secondary PSAP at the PD.  The request is
usually made from a PD officer in the field who missed the call on their
scanner.  Sounds to be like the orinial response was from a dispatcher
who was on for a double shift and getting a little off focus.

DP,
The Garmin GPS products I have used take about 2 minutes when first
turned on to wake up and find themselves (if it were only so easy for
the rest of us...).  Once operating, they provide real time fixes, speed
over land, etc.  Depending on how much cabbage you spent, they will
provide raw Lat/Long info, moving maps, maps with landmarks and
waypoints, etc.  Accuracy, uncorrected, is within 50-100' in my
experience, although I think they say to only count on it to provide
within 300'.
Corrected GPS, at an airport for example, is accurate enough to taxi the
aircraft out from the terminal to the runway, take off, enroute,
approach, land, and taxi up to the terminal!  John Noble

The City of Tucson is putting on their busses to be sure that they are
running on time(no joke).

To find out more about GPS, SA, etc. have a look at Peter Bennett's FTP
directory/NMEA-0183 and GPS Information, including the GPS FAQ.  There are
also links to other sites with more information.

Does anyone know if there are PDs/FDs with GPS onboard their
cars/engines etc so that dispatchers always know their locations
within a block?  If there are, is this data used for dispatching; do
cars stop reporting their locations, (and various other questions come
to mind)?

No, but I am under the suspicion that you WORK at area-51 and are
employed by the government. Why? The government wants money. The end.
That is the reason for its existance at this time, that, and world
domination, of course. This alone is enough to prove you are stationed
at the base known as area 51.
Not only that, but you are encouraging concerned people to monitor
area-51 which may result in their termination by the cammo dudes.

        I'm looking for frequencies used by the

company that runs the campus bus system for Rutgers University.

Anyone have a list of these?  If not, is there a listing of freqs used
by NJ Transit?

        Thanks in advance,

I know that this question has come up in the past but...

How does one go about creating a new group?

I would like to see one for the freq lists that everybody seems to have and
seems to want.
You post your requests and if somebody has it they upload the list or e-mails
it
directly to the requestor.

rec radio.scanner.freqs  would be a viable name I would think

Any comments?

I feel that rec.radio.scanner.freq would be an EXCELLENT Newsgroup (it
would certainly prove to be more worthwhile than some newsgroups we have
all seen!!).  As Roger asked... How does one go about adding another
newsgroup?

(I live in San Diego where the Republican Convention is currently taking
place.  Should I goes ask them for their input on starting up this
newsgroup??)

I know that this question has come up in the past but...

How does one go about creating a new group?

I would like to see one for the freq lists that everybody seems to have and
seems to want.
You post your requests and if somebody has it they upload the list or e-mails
it
directly to the requestor.

rec radio.scanner.freqs  would be a viable name I would think

Any comments?

When would you check rec.radio.scanner.freq? When you need freqs, right?
So who will answer these requests? Good Samaritans who go to that group
just to give out freqs that they know?

Sounds to me like you'll attract lots of people with the questions, and
none of the people with the answers!

        Actually...  Yes, it happens all the time right here in this and the
alt.radio.scanner group.  I'm just suggesting that the posts go to a (sub) gro
up
of one of these and for those who are looking for freqs, lists, questions
concerning them, would go there and ask.
I myself have answered probably 100 posts this year alone for freq lists, and
have even asked for a few myself.  While it's not an off-topic request to do s
o
here, most of the users of these groups are looking for Technical expertise in
the use, selection of, and modification of, scanners, antennas, computer
control, ect.

>->->Sounds to me like you'll attract lots of people with the questions, and

Maybe, maybe not, I'm willing to bet not.  I've gotten 5 positive e-mails to
every public post on this thread saying it's a good idea, so I'm persuing it.
You don't have to if you don't wish to.

Thanks for your input.
Roger

    Before a host of ISPs start getting mail, it should be noted that the
procedure for starting a new newsgroup is clearly spelled out in the FAQs:
  news.announce.newgroups: How_to_Create_a_New_Usenet_Newsgroup
  alt.config: So_You_Want_to_Create_an_Alt_Newsgroup
These are regularly posted and are also available from:
  ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers

    The procedure begins with an RFD (Request for Discussion), posted to
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and any other groups related to the
proposed topic. Once the discussion period is complete, a CFV (Call for
Votes) is issued and an independent judge tallys the result. Initiation
of an .alt group is somewhat simpler. In either case, the approved group is
activated by the sending of a newgroup message. The only involvement by
an ISP or SysAdmin is the reception of the message and updating their lists.

Hi Steve and David,

I would seriously suggest that you *not* broadcast inside the AM or FM
commercial broadcast bands. I do not think the people of your community would
be
too thrilled to know that their private moments of crisis are being broadcast
for literally *anyone* to hear. Personally, I would be *furious* to discover
this (especially when their taxes just paid big bucks for a f#@%!#g "secure?"
trunked system).

It takes a little more effort, brains(???), and expense to listen with a scann
er
than with just an FM radio.

Talk to your radio tech, there should be some legal open frequencies available
somewhere. Is your old channel still available? Then they could use their old
pagers/Plectrons.

I did not say any of this, but.... ;^)

Perhaps a low-power narrow-band signal (+/- 5KHz deviation) inside an unused V
HF
or UHF TV channel could be used (Ch. 6 is just below the FM band). The +/- 5kH
z
is barely detectable with a standard TV and most likely would not even be
noticed. But a scanner would be quite happy with it.

But I did not say that, because transmitting without a license is considered
very "naughty" and a big "no-no". ;^)

Just a thought!

Cheers,
Paul Grohe

Bryan:

As I understand it, 100-MW is the max, unless it's C.B., without a
license.  That would only give you about 1/4 mile.  You might want to
check the law pertaining to rebroadcasting also...may be a problem!

Sorry about the trouble my son Johnnie has caused you folks
on here. You see it all started when the doctors cut off his
oxygen during birth. Since then little Johnnie hasn't been
quite right. He had a troubled life as a child. Molesting
the neighbors dog. Exposing himself to the kids at the playfield.
Self mutation and the like have been a way of life for Johnnie.
You have to understand the terrible things he did weren't
all his fault. Hell, his mom was working the streets at
night just to pay for his depends when he was in high school.
Depends aren't cheap and we didn't want Johnnie to be
embarassed at school. We had to leave the Midwest so the
charges would be dropped from Johnnie. You can't believe the mess
he made on those farmers sheep. Please forgive my little
pervert, he is all that his mother and I have.

If you are going to the track, there will be several trailers that will have
freq. lists available for sale for around $5.00. It's not a bad idea to pick
one up as they will be up to date and the people can make you aware of any
last minute changes.(as many drivers have more than one freq.)
Check out Frequency Fan Club at the blue & yellow LOWES trailer. They have
lists and also sell great headphones. (This is not an ad, it's just that
I bought their headphones and am very happy with how they work)
Also check rec.autos.sport.nascar in usenet for more about nascar.

Is there an antenna I can plug into the AR8000 that will greatly
improve AM reception?  I would prefer one that would still allow
me to be mobile with the scanner.  What are my options for
improving AM reception?

Thanks...

I am fairly new to all of this, so I have a couple of questions.  I have
a Pro 43 that has been modified to pick up 800mhz.  I was wondering if
this unit could be modified to pick up below 30mhz.  I also read
somewhere that this unit can be modified to 400 channels instead of 200.
Is this worth doing?  If so, where could I get this done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Please email me.  My newsserver
is all jacked up and I have to go thru free newservers whose messages
are days old.

Thank you very much
John

It is possible to do this with cellular capable pro43s.  Check out the mod

It seems that this thread needs someone FROM Los Angeles to straighten
this out.

Yes, the show was, indeed, called "Adam 12".

There is no "P" designation in the LAPD.

"A" = two-man patrol unit, as in "1A12"
"L" = one-man patrol unit, as in "1L14"

Yes, the "1" prefix does indicate the division, in this case it was
"Central" division of LAPD.  The "A" was two-man patrol and the "12" was
the unit number.

I've listened to LAPD since 1973 and I HAVE heard calls to "1 Adam 11",
but never to "12".

        I think you're right, because while most episodes
took place in daylight (easier to shoot), there was some
night action.

When I said that the '1' stood for morning watch, I was refering to
the Simi Valley PD.  I don't know what the numbers after the
letter mean in LAPD since I don't normaly monitor LAPD.

I'll put up what I know about the LAPD on my home page, but it's
not much since I don't normaly monitor LAPD (Only when SVPD chase
someone into LA).

Well, let's add something to THIS, also:

Everyone pretty much knows that the show "Emergency" (or, as I like to
call it, the "Johnny and Roy Show") depicted the exploits and adventures
of FICTIONAL "Squad 51"  of the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Until recently, however, there NEVER was a REAL "Station 51".

Within the last year, Los Angeles County Fire Station 60, a real working
fire station located on the grounds of Universal Studios here in LA, was
renamed STATION 51 in honor of the show.

Yes, their units were 7-Mary-3 and 4.  Good Memory!



<<Remember 240-Robert?>>

Yes, a fairly decent show.  But suffered from the same problem that
faulted ALL the shows such as "Emergency", CHiPs, etc.  Where you have the
same unit covering incidents throughout the city or county.

In CHiPs and "Emergency", one scene they'd be in the Valley, next in the
city, another in the mountains, and then by the beach, they'd be
everywhere!

Before MCA/Universal got out of the operation of "Yosemite Park &
Curry Company", the consessioner at Yosemite Park, sometime before
1990, the fire station in Yosemite Valley, which was a volunteer
department, mostly manned by YP&CC public safety employees (not by
the forest service) had Old #7 as their engine.  Old #7 was really
old however, and was continiously suffering breakdowns.  While my
sister was employed by YP&CC Public Safety, they retired the Old #7
to the back lot at Universal and brought in Engine 51.  Barely fit
in the Yosemite Valley Firehouse garage.

If you folks can't see this is a forgery you are blind. The above may
be very true and that is the key. I am a liar and would never tell something
about myself if it wasn't to stroke my ego or try and prove
to others that I am more than the guano pile I am. Hey asswipes, I belong

BUT, MicroSoft Works DOES have a Communications program that allows
you to transfer information from it's programs to the twisted pair.
Bill, there may be some folks out there that are unfamiliar with
Works.  It is what is called a "utility" program, because it has a
Word Processor, Spread Sheet and Database program combined with the
communications program.  They are, of course highly compatable with
each other, and all together, make up a program that is outstanding. I
have used it since 1987, and it is almost intuitively easy to use.
I wouldn't use anything else.  :-}

Yeah, there's a lot of gray zone in that sort of thing.
But I'd sooner look at nice straight columns than I would
a bunch of funky commas.

Thing is, two or more tabs are frequently found between
columns where one bit of data is shorter than the one
above or below it.  This wrecks the concept of an easy
transfer into a database.

So one can evolve a sort of a rule of thumb there....if
it's for presentation and little else, tabs are the way.
If it's for widespread dissemination for unknown ultimate
formats and destinations, then comma-delimited is probably
the best way.  Even those who ultimately prefer tabs can
do a simple SEARCH & REPLACE commas for tabs and pretty
well be done with it.

Thus, I give about 50.5% to commas and 49.5% to tabs.
Arbitrarily and capriciously, of course.  :-)

THAT's the spirit, Joe!  Different strokes for different folks with
love and happiness for all, right?

I take it you don't know or understand the power of Windows 95?  No
big deal other than the power, man, the power!  But some folks prefer
horses and buggies to an automobile, and a carrier pigeon to a radio.


Ahhhhhhhhh, diversity, it's sooooo wonderful, ain't it?   :-)

Generally speaking most folks mentioning POTENTIAL EMI problems are
correct. Any non-fitted electronic equipment, and so many have some kind
of oscillator in them, should not be used 1. without permission, 2.
during landing or take off phases. Think about the ramifications. It's
taken long enough to get permission to operate anything on a flight. I still
have a copy around of the Model 100 Computer Magazine when they were
working on this issue. Don't take chances. You may get away with it, over
and over, like running your gas tank down or leaving for work late, yet
what's the point and what are the potential consequences. Happy

You can install it in the scanner, if you like.  Installed externally,
however, it can serve a number of other scanners, too.

First of all i would like to thank all the readers who gave me advice on
the subject.Some were good,others came from people that obviously thought
that I was an idiot when it came to antennas.No Im not a ham so i dont
know all te fine points but i do know scanner antennas are vertical,i use
good coax and gold connectors.I use Grove pre amps which i have always
been satisfied with,I have a rotor and 75ft tower and my area is good for
any type of communications reception.Since my posting my reception has
improved greatly and the depts that i want to hear are being heard.My
reception range is well over 150mile VHF and not quite as good but
acceptable on UHF.Again thanks to all and Im always appreciative of new
ideas

Works for me...worthless in large cities though but about the only thing
you got on the open road when no one else is driving it. I'd recommend a
CB first though. You'll find it handier than the Valentine. All 3 excel at
certain times but if I had my choices of the 3 I'd choose the CB over my
Valentine or BCT-7 but I'd rather have all 3! :-)

I'd also recommend getting a mobile antenna from Radio Shack for the
scanner. Get a good one and not a cell phone look-a-like. The BCT-7 covers
CB Frequencies but the range isn't very good at all.

Just my 2 cents. They've worked for me and I've made some pretty wild
ticket free trips. Feel free to drop me a line for more ideas.

Speedometer static noise used to be relatively common in *the olden
days*  :-}  It was a tough one to diagnose, but it is a valid
question. What happens is that the grease in the cable drys out and
then you get all sorts of problems.

While listening to someone on a UHF frequency (hand-held radio on
simplex) I heard them say: "Switch your radio to channel 2".

Am I correct to assume that this frequency will be in the same UHF
band as the first one? My first inclanation is to hunt around close
by the first frequency, but so far no luck.  This second channel is
most likely used far less than the first, however. Does anyone think
there is much chance that I'm way off, the elusive frequency could be
10 - 15 mhz away, or even in another band altogether? I don't know of
any organization that has frequencies in both vhf and uhf in the same
HT, except for hams.

Usually the "Channel 2" would be in the same band, and perhaps is the same
freq!  Most repeater operations allow mobiles and portables to talk car to
car simplex on the repeater output frequency, bypassing the repeater.
This is often referred to as "Talk-Around" or whatever the next higher
channel number than the repeater channel.

Other possibilities include the old channel used before the move to the
current channel, a P/W or other local government channel, a specificly
licensed car to car channel, or even CB.

Some of the newer triple conversion scanners, like the portable
Radio Shack PRO-26, are prone to receiving images in the VHF
high band despite having a high 1st IF (e.g., 380.7 MHz).

Any large publication needs advertisers to help keep the subscription
price of the magazine down. Several readers find the ads of interest as
well. Especially ads for new products.

Sounds like you just don't like Grove or MT!

The bottom line is, people will buy the publication they like the best.
This newsgroup is full of scanner hobbiest, so if they "vote" for their
favorite publication, then that is the best indication of what the
hobbiests find most useful.

Does anybody know where I can buy a Murata Erie filter, part# CFWM455D.  Most
of the
distributors sell them in boxes of 100 at $2.75 EACH!!!  I have found several
filters
of the 455D family but with different pin layouts.  The CFWM455D is an exact
replacement for the one in the 8000 to help reduce the audio clipping problem.

Regarding the Scout - I have the same problem with the display being off
several digits.  This is inconvenient when out in the field.  I personally
think this Scout and Explorer are heavily oversold.  But their is always
hope.  I think I will order my Explorer next week.

roblems and
believes that the scout is defective. I am not sure if it really is
broken or if it is the normal function. He said that it is supposed to
display some sort of test frequency. Bottom line is I told him to send
it back to Optoelectronics and have it fixed and I would pay for it. I
will post the results. It says on the opto web site that the warranty
covers everything except damage from excessive voltage when charging
batteries and excessive signal overload. It just makes me wonder how
delicate these things are. Maybe the thing can be damaged from hooking
it up to say a good mobile antenna and then passing by a tower with
strong signals.

I bought the Radio Shack counter. I've used it at  remote repeater
sites, and am able to catch ALL the frequencies from over a hundred
antennas at about 50 feet away.  It works GREAT!  Remember, these
things are only good for NEAR FIELD work.  At first I thought I'd made
a mistake buying the RS machine, but after learning it's intricacies,
I love it  :-}

Guys, I don't think you realize what a frequency counter is.  It is a device
that is designed to detect NEARFIELD signals.  These signals also have to be
strong enough to be above the RF noise floor.  If you are in a very noisy
area(rf noisy), you cannot possibly hope to pick up a low power signal.

First point, cordless phones and walkie talkies transmit around 500mw, usually
even less than that.  Compare that with the kilowatt towers for broadcast TV,
broadcast FM that are generating a high floor.

People complain about 'my scout is getting flooded with pager signals'.  Liste
n,
these pager towers use at LEAST 500 watts.  How do you expect the scout to
know you DIDN'T want to pickup the tower?  Is it psychic?  The scout is
DESIGNED to be broadbanded, that is pickup 10mhz - 2.8ghz.  In order for it
to be more sensitive in one area, or limit reception in another, you
must use filters and antennas of a particular length.  I would much rather
the scout be too broadbanded than to be limited.

As far as frequency accuracy goes, as long as the signal is of some considerab
le
strength, it's accurate to 100hz easy.  If you expect to pick up some low powe
r
(1/2 watt or under) from more than a few feet, yes, it's not going to be accur
ate
to 100hz.

I don't mean to flame but I hate to see such injustice done to a terrific prod
uct.

It's like someone who buys a Phillips head screwdriver and then complains that
 it doesn't work on flathead screws. Seeesh.

I think the next version of the scout ought to be psychic.  It ought to
be programmable to lock out a predetermined list of frequencies,
including FM broadcast, pagers, etc.

Note: The Scout manual is lying!

The Scout will very reliably detect an AM signal as long as it is not
being modulated too heavily and falls within the Scout's frequency
range.

There is no difference between an unmodulated FM carrier and an
unmodulated AM carrier and the Scout will detect them both.

Hi.

I've used the "Thin Stick" from the Smiley Antenna Co. for the last 6
months and have loved it.   I use it on a Uniden portable but see no
reason why it wouldn't perform as well on the Pro-43.  It's a
5-section adjustable antenna with overall max height of 18" and has a
BNC connector with a spring which allows it to flex slightly if you
bump it.  This is, IMHO, a great feature which may save the BNC
connection point on top of your radio since the spring will take the
brunt of the force if you should bump it (it has happened to me
several times :)  Since the antenna is variable in height, it can be
"tuned" to improve reception.

Anyway, you should be able to get the antenna for under $18 and AES
and other outlets would sell it.

I was wodnering if there was anyone out there that had an old crystal
scanner capable of picking up the NOAA stations. I am actually looking for
two of them.  one for work, one for home.  Preferably handheld.  I have a
local NOAA station so great range is not really necessary. case condition
really isn;t a matter to me either. all I care about is that it be able
to pick up my NOAA station.

Ok, yeah I know.......I broke two rules here. I'm posting a binary file to a
non-binary newsgroup and another one that I don't know about yet.

I'm doing this for your safety. It is forbidden by LAW for you  to listen to
conversations held on cellphone channels. Well, if you don't know what the
cellphone channels are you may very well find yourself in violation of the LAW
!!
And god knows how horrible it would be to wake up in a jail cell with an RF
hangover and find that you've made new and strange friends with the local
version of Jeff Dalmher!

So to save you from a fate worse than death here's a listing of the CellPhone
channels in MicroSoft Excel format. If you don't have MS excel, you may have t
o
find an Excel formet reader. (MS usually supplies this type of thing on thier
website)

About 10PM last night I clicked on my bookmark for the Federal Gov't and
then selected, by random, the Dept of Justice.


                      http://justice2.usdoj.gov/


SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!! Someone had made a few changes, For one it is now
called the Department of Injustice. You are immediately greeted by the
Nazi swastika all over your screen's background.

A flag w/the symbol is apparent. George Washington's picture is captioned
with his words, "Move my grave to a free country! This rolling is making
me an insomniac".

Janet Reno's portrait has been replaced by Hitler's. And a flag now bears
the Nazi symbol. She is now called Attorney General Furher.

There is plenty of nudity and the many links will take you to places you
may never have been before. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto!

I have no clues how it was done or when. My guess is someone changed all
the links to the DOJ page to another one, the one you see when you click
on the DOJ's homepage.

I worked today and when I came home and tried to get back to the DOJ's
page, no luck. Must be a major overload <grin> of people trying to get to
the link of women clad in, well, next to nothing and tied with rope!

I don't think the author will make any brownie points w/women. He hacked
the homepage they have w/the DOJ on violence against women. I'm not
condoning such action and violence is a very serious issue but whoever did
the hack was also very serious.

He changed a Clinton speech on affirmative action and insulted blacks with
his choice of words. There is a lot of rambling about the internet and the
Gov't taking away our rights on it.

The author has a interesting slant on things. This should be enough of a
warning if you're easily offended by racism, hate, foul language, porn on
the net, and general crudeness. Don't go there.

I would like to know just how this was done, any ideas? Is it that easy to
hack someones homepage?

I wonder how long it'll be before this homepage link is removed and can
they find who did the evil deed? Two months on the Net and just when I
think I'd seen it all, wow.

Yes, it is easy to hack someone's home page, especially if the page
permits you to enter data, say as into a form. Pages using Java scripts
can also be readily hacked. After the movies "Hackers," MGM's home page
was hacked; when the publicity company for Rodney Dangerfield claimed the
RD web site was among the most popular, that was hacked.; after the
publication of "Takedown" by Shimomura (a noted security expert) and
Markoff (NYT reporter), the Takedown home page was hacked. Takedown, by
the way, chronicles the capture of Kevin Mitnick, uberhacker.

There's a hacker group called The National Liberation Front that has
claimed responsibility for many of the web page hacks. Dunno if they were
involved in DOJ hack--this is the first I've heard of it.

Maybe the hacker got my mail box! It seems half of my incoming doesn't get
here anymore - bounce! Then again maybe it's the DOJ, damn scannist, we'll
fix him!

Just joking but the bounced E-mail is becoming a nuisance. Guess it's time
to call AT&T but if anyone has any ideas on why certain servers seem to
bounce more than their share of E-mail, clue us in.

The person who posted the original post, posted it on Saturday afternoon,
making "Last night" mean Friday night.  According to my calendars, Friday
night comes before early Saturday.

Fine.  Now KEEP THE FUCK OUT OF MY ACCOUNT!

You have been procmailed out as [e-mail]
for a while.

You were procmailed out as [e-mail] last night after sending
me bullshit mail.  You then used [e-mail] to work around that
and send me more bullshit mail.

I have emailed you and your postmaster(s) that any mail from you is
unsolicited and undesired.  I am now telling you in public as well.
For someone who claims to be a computer security expert, you are
stupid as hell.

Apparently the hacker who hit the DOJ site was mainly angry about the
Communications Decency Act (this according to today's local paper). He
also posted pics of Hitler, sexually explicit material, swastikas and
links to sites that contained unflattering material about Clinton.

The person who posted the original message
<[e-mail]> said that he checked the site last night
while mousing around. The paper says the site was shut down early
Saturday--it's still down now. I sent him e-mail, but the message bounced.
Now, I surmise that whoever posted the message may have had more
involvement that he cares to admit to.

It wouldn't surprise me, in any case. Lots of hackers also are into
scanners because its a good way to get credit card and long-distance
access codes.

Thanks for the pointer. The regulation looks fairly ironclad to me.
HOA's must allow TV antennas and 1m dishes. I think I will mail a copy
of this to my HOA and get rid of the old cable monopoly I have been
dealing with. At $30.00/mo., a TV antennas with mast and rotor will
pay off very quickly!

>Lets all hope they extend this ruling to the Amateur Radio Service.

The legislation was driven by the type of economics thar we amateurs
cannot muster. Also, with fewer people using cable, there could
actually be more objections to amateur transmissions in these living
quarters built in such close proximity. However, TVI and other
interference concerns cannot be extected to improve when a law is
issued giving free reign to most types of telecommunications. You can
argue for a long time that you use your tribander antenna for TV
reception (perhaps not the best reception) on the same antenna that
you happen to transmit with. That's *if* anyone notices a difference
between a TV antenna and a tribander (say a 10/15/20).
Anyways, it's something to try I guess ;)

>Good Luck with the HOA -- mine is hopeless.

I think after reading the regulation that your >HOA< is out of luck.
You would have to have special circumstances affecting 'safety' (this
would normally apply to tower hieght with respect to the closest
adjacent residence, or possible zoning regulations for wind strength
in some areas) or you would have to be in a historic district.

If your HOA does not believe the new regulation, or cannot undertsand
it, it seems that you do not have to pay any penalties even if they
'fine' you. Like I say, it looks fairly ironclad but then again I am
not a lawyer. I still think anyone having to live with one of these
stupid antenna restrictions would be fairly safe going ahead and
putting up a TV antenna...not much to lose, and a rather clear federal
pre-emption to back you up.

Anything's possible -- ask Beck, Rife, or Lakhovsky.  (OK, Beck -- the rest ar
e
dead.)  But if EM radiation does have non-thermal biological effects, my guess
is that at an arbitrary frequency and power level it would be more likely to
harm than help.

Unfortunately, your emotionally charged arguement is all you have to
prove your point that regulation is needed to the level it has been
applied.

It would be much better if we could ignore the people who wanted
to pass laws based on ficticious or emotionally founded fantasies.

Every so often the government does that, goes out on a "jag".  They take
some information that is normally quite emotionally charged and use
it to pass laws that far surpass the need.

A good example was the "fact" that 50,000 children a year are abducted
and we needed new laws to stem this tide.  They passed a bunch of new
laws, citing the dopey figure, without ever considering that it was
a lie.  The laws remain to show how harmful a well-meaning but terribly
misdirected group can do.

They neglected to say that, perhaps, in 95 percent of these cases the

I am going to be spending time in a burb of Philly called
Glen Mills.  It's SW of philly.  If I understand correctly, Glen Mills
is real close to Media, Kind of Prussia, and West Chester.  So the
freq's for these places would be fine too.  Thank you in advance.
Please e-mail me with a response.

I recently moved into the city of SeaTac in Washington state.  SeaTac
incorporated very recently and they now have their own police cars.  I am
looking for the frequencies they are using as well as local fire and anything
else that is interesting to listen to.  I wonder if they actualy use King
County Police Dept. personel in specialy marked cars?  If so would they use
the same freqs as KCPD?

Or maybe they are on the new trunking system?  Anyone got the frequencies or
other info on the trunking system that Seattle Police are using?  And is that
the same system that KCPD is going to?  Enquiring minds want to know.

Please cc me ([e-mail]) with any replies so I have a better chance of
catching the messages.

Percon and Grove sell freqs on CD-ROM. I don't know anything about the
Grove product.

I bought the Percon CD-ROM a while ago. It's about $30. The interface and
the search engine are very basic and not all what I hoped. In fact, after
using the product for a while, it became apparent that if you really
wanted to make good use of it, you have to dump the whole thing on to your
hard drive and use a real database to get the info that you want.

I've also found several mistakes in the freqs that I've sorted, ranging
from multiple entries with 0000 for the freq to misspellings of towns. I
don't know if that was the way the info was supplied from the govt
listings or it was keyed in that way by Percon.

Having the freqs on CD is certainly convenient, and the price is right,
and that makes the Percon product worthwhile. It's caliber and quality
need to be greatly improved, however, no matter the price. The sell
another product that they say is better, at 5-6 times the price.

Yes I agree, , , I think that it is VERY unprofesionally done and
difficult to use. There are mistakes, and it's cumbersome, and
difficult to print out a list on anything less that 927 character
width :-{   Having  said all that, I still find it a valuable tool.

Try logging to:( http://www/perconcorp.com).  They put out a Frequency
Database CD Rom called "SPECTRUM" which is quite good not to mention that
it is also is compatible with scanning software thats currently out there.
Hope this helps.  Jose

I've often thought about that. I don't know of any in the South Jersey
region. But think about it. A wall size map of a city with flashing
police cars, engines, and BLS units showing their (almost) exact
location. You'd be able to send the closest unit to a call for service
all the time! Hmmmm.

Some cities are in fact using GPS for tracking units. They units will
still respond with "Engine 4 responding from Middlefield &
Charleston", but the dispatchers will no longer have to say "Who's
closest to Middlefield & Charleston?" Also, police officers do NOT
like the idea.. no more sneaking to 7-11 on paid time. =)

In the SF Bay Area, the American ambulance service has GPS in all their
ambulances.  When dispach reacieves a 911 call, the termial calls up a
map centered on the 911 location with the five closest ambulances
displayed, the computer selected one is flashing.  It has resulted in a
signifgant reduction on response time.

8. I will take a land fix of a piece of real estate in a
matter of a few seconds. Then I go to a local Exec airport to rent a
chopper for aerial photos (an R22). I then place the small GPS on my lap
and can direct the pilot to within a few feet of the property. Needless
to say the accuracy and savings of flying time have more than paid for
the $199 GPS. I swear by it. THe max speed limitation does not impair its
accuracy.

Has anybody seen the "soon to be released" 8500? Most shops that
I've asked around dont have ANY information on them. Last week I
took my 7000 to Icom for a tune up and the tech there hadn't even
heard of it yet.

Any new news out there??

No, the 100 milliwatt limit only applies to the AM Broadcast band
and the 49 MHz walkie talkie band.  In the US regulations, there
are something like 18 different categories (paragraphs) for the
various license free uses.  The FM band is limited to a field
strength (instead of the more easily measured input power) and if
you convert it to a radiated power, it's something like 30 nanowatts,
good for 100 feet or so.

Those curious enough can find the regs in the book "Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 47 (Telecommunications), Parts 0 to 19", in Part
15, Subpart C "Intentional Radiators".  A good library would have this
in the Reference or Government section, or you can buy the book at
a US Government Bookstore for about $20.

You can get it a little chunk at at time on the US House of
Representatives web pages in their Code of Federal Regulations search
engine.  Try a search of "Operation in the band 88-108 MHz", for the
specific (and short) section on the FM band limits.  (I find it such a
pain to use that server that a trip to the library is easier.)

I think you may have missed something here.  Yes static will discharge
from different points of a vehicle. This is not the point. It is the
static buildup or discharge on and through the receiver antenna to or
from the radio that is a concern.  It is the static here that can
cause damage and noise to the receiver.   This static electricity is
many times greater in voltage then any reveiver was designed to
receive.

I was not talking about preventing static buildup on a vehicle.

This maybe an FAQ but, is it true that scanners, particularly mobile ones
are now illegal in the US?? My friend, a scanner enthusiast here in
British Columbia, Can, plans to travel by car in the US West Coast states
next month, but says he can not take his scanner because of this...Can
anyone out there answer this...

TIA,

The police department in the city I live in use the mutual aid
channels a lot.  You might check your local mutual aid channels
next time they switch to "channel 8".  It might also be a
simplex frequency so you might want to monitor the input of
your known police frequencies also.

If all else fails .. try to scan the frequecy range that they
transmit on. More than likely CHANNEL 8 is gonna be with in
that same range.

This message is to all of the people that I've offended on this

I'm sorry that I've been such as ass.  It's mainly because I have a
drinking problem, and a drug problem, but I'm dealing with it.  I get
on the internet and post things that I regret the next day, but by then
it's too late.

Let My post be a reminder to you what drinking and drugs can do to a

I'll probably get drunk and retract this someday, but for now, I just
want to say that I'm sorry (and sober, for now).

It's only illigal in NJ to use a scanner in commission of a crime. If
the cops stop you for mere possession ( even in a vehicle) you got
them by the short hairs.  Consult a good lawyer and you could have a
payday.

I prefer it over Netscape also , but I don't know if it will help with
the amount of postings you're recieving . I believe that's with your

Back in my ignorant days of 30 years ago, I may have rigged up a set
of thermocouple temperature sensors to 'em.  But anymore, I don't
sweat it because what self-respecting charger keeps on recharging as
the pack comes up to full charge?  Even funky cheapos slow the charge
rate as the pack comes up to charge.

Posting personal email is pathetic, in fact all parties involved in this
dispute are pathetic. It's a real shame since both Mr. Cheek and
Mr. Mackey have contributed volumes of good info in the past.

Is is really that hard to just ignore Mr. Mackey? Yeah, yeah, I know
you have a right to defend yourself, but this is just childish, and,
at least in my opinion, does more harm than good.

Anyway...don't bother responding for my benefit, both Mr. Cheek and
Mr. Mackey are now in my kill file, and hell, I guess I'll fire up
procmail while I'm at it.

So don't LOOK at them.  Delete them.  Change them.  You're wanting to
control everyone else when total control exists in your computer if
only you knew how to use it.  Don't make everyone else responsible for
your happiness and well-being.  If you do, then you will lose.

What has Mr. Macket -=EVER=- contributed?  He doesn't know a radio
scanner from a tuna canner.  He's not here to contribute or even to
assimilate.  He's a pissed-off little boy whose sphincter pinched down
so hard on the seat of his chair that he can't get up anymore.  When
he tries to stand, the chair comes up with 'im.  That makes 'im even
madder.  He's almost at the frothing stage now........and 'is seat
cushion only gets drawn in deeper.

>Is is really that hard to just ignore Mr. Mackey?

No, it's easy to ignore the ignorant.  Paw always told me, "Son, the
easy way out is never the best way."  Paw's gone now, so I try to
abide by the things he taught me.

What about your emotions?  Nothing in virtuality makes me sick like it
does you.  Why do you let it affect you so adversely?  Are you a
victim in the psychological sense?  Why don't you just fire up some
phaser arrays on your computer and zzzzzzzzzap everyone who pisses you
off and be done with it?  The power you possess at your computer makes
Captain Kirk's seem like a sandbox toy.........

No, that's not exactly correct.

Re: 1 Adam 12

"1" designated that the unit was out of LAPD's Central Division.

"Adam" designated that the unit was a two-man patrol unit.

"12" simply referred to the unit number.  There MAY be something to the
number referring to which "watch" the unit is whether day, evening or
nights, but I'm not sure on that.  I don't THINK so, however.

There never was a "real" unit number of 1A12, it was just for TV.

No, there was no "14" in the unit designations for Jon and Ponch.  They
were "7 Mary 3" and "7 Mary 4", respectively.

Well, along with "Code Red", you can put "LA Firefighters" in the category
of crappy portrayals of firefighters and paramedics.

I wish my local cable company carried WWOR, as they're the only station
running reruns of "Emergency!".  BTW, videos of the show are avaiable from
JEMS Publications.

Are you kidding? I flew cross country to test for the LASD mostly because of
that show. The deputies I met told of being paid to guard the show's trucks
and helo on locations on their off-duty time.

Here's a more obscure one: Remember "Pine Canyon Is Burning"? (a pilot TV movi

did not end up as a series). Hint: Kent McCord was an LACoFD Captain FF/PM.

Or, going lower on the quality scale, "Code R" (not to be confused with "Code
Red")?

We now return you to the regularly scheduled R.R.S.-related topics.

Yes, they were 7Mary 3 & 4.. A few tidbits re the show:

Ponch & John's badges were real. They were the only two real badges
used. The badges are on display in (disputed, no one I know in CHP is
sure) either the academy, or HQ in Sacramento. The rest of the badges
were fake. The opening where they show two CHiPPies riding: Those are
real cops, they DO ride that close, and they DID have to hold a hand
mike (no headsets at that time). One of the riders is a retired Sgt.
Also, NYPD Blue they use real NYPD badges. Why? They log the badge #,
and that way if an actor comes up "Oh! My badge fell out of my pocket
on my way here!" they know the badge #, and if they see that #, they
know it's because of the show. And another tidbit: Most police
officers with larger cities or cities where the badges are fairly
sought after (Los Angeles, San Francisco, State, NYPD, etc) the police
officers wear FAKE badges. The real badge (at least for CHP) are REAL
gold. Cost upwards of $200. So the officers take the badges in a safe
deposit box and wear a gold colored replica.

Let's get back on topic now. I think I used up WAY more than my .02.

Hi
  I just bought a Pro-51 Hyper scan. form Radio Shack. It is a
programmable, 200 channel, which means you can enter many different
freq's into it. it also come's pre loaded with freq's already in it.
 I own three different Radio Shack scanners and they have all held up.

I have looked on my FCC Masterfile CD-ROM also..did not see a listing for
KNXV television..maybe it's under the company that owns the station...is
it Scripps Howard ??? All the other Television orRadio Stations list
either under the Station call letters or the Station's owners name.
I would bet that KNXV is somewhere in the 450-451 or 455-456 news/remote
pickup band...don't think they are in the 160-161 or 170-174mhz area
judging by the looks of their communications antennas....don't think they
are in the 800 or 900mhz area either!

CHANNEL - a place to store a frequency.  If you have a 100 channel
scanner,
you can store 100 different frequencies.

BANK - the channels will be seperated into different banks.  ie; my
scanner can store 200 frequencies in 10 different banks. (that's 20
channels per bank). I set bank 1 up with all my local police freqs
and bank 2 up with all my local fire, bank 4 sheriffs, etc..

BAND - this is the most important thing to look at. The radio spectrum
is divided into different bands. Before you buy a scanner, find out
what frequencies you are going to want to listen to. It won't do you
much good if your police is on 800Mhz and your scanner can't scan
that bank! Before you buy a scanner, visit your local Radio Shack
store and ask them for a police/fire radio frequencie listing.

The sportster is a good scanner and even more important, Uniden/Bearcat
is a good name.

Happy scanning!

A "band" is a range of frequencies that the unit is capable of
recieving.  The transmisions you're trying to monitor must be
broadcast on a frequency that is within a band the scanner can
recieve, or you're SOL.
 A "channel" is a memory location in the scanner where you can place a
frequency you want to monitor.  For ease of use, these are often
broken into "banks" wich is a group of channels that can be turned
on/off independant of the other banks.
I would be surprised if there are only 30 frequencies in use in a
jurisdiction the size you're describing.  I suggest doing further
research into what's in use.  Don't forget you'll want to be able to
hear everything from the local low-power stuff (fireground as an
example), to the area FBI office.

Look for a scanner with no less than 100 channels.



Mark

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

Yes and yes.  Hard-coded one way or the other.  It would depend on the
scanner as to exactly how.

Most likely not.  The CPU's in scanners nowadays have enough ROM to
hold it all, and there's no way to "get in".  If it were an external
PROM of some sort, and if you could "read" its organization, then
perhaps.  But no one in their right mind would spend any time or
resources on such a project.

Those kinds of scanners are bargain-basement specials of low degree
and meant for the most casual grandmotherly scannist.  No one of any
wherewithal would have one, much less get into it and mess around.

The early Regency "Informant" (INF-xx) series were preprogrammed by
state (like the current BCT-7).  Uniden owns both Regency
and Bearcat scanner lines and has opted to use the "BearTracker"
name in their current models.

Can anyone tell who makes the Tandy Pro 2039 scanner.
Is it a Uniden as the freq` coverage appears to be the same as the
Uniden 760 and Pro 2026 but it has twice as many memories.
would this be a good unit for civil airband listening ?.


          Thanks in advance

The new 200 channel Radio Shack PRO-2045 can be fitted with
an optional CTCSS decoder board. The board is orderable through (but
not stocked by) your Radio Shack store .  Both appear in the new
1997 Radio Shack catalog.

I've been using Rayovac's Renewal batteries in my Pro-34 for awhile
now.  At first, they worked great.  I charged them frequently(before
being drained) like the Rayovac suggests, but after two or three
charges, they seemed to have very short lives.  And some of them would
fail to charge altogether.  Anyone else have good/bad experiences with
these batteries?

Mike,

I've found that frequent charging make all the difference.  When I let
them die (like NiCds), they don't work too well.  When I charge them
frequently (every 3 months for my use) they work great.  I've had the
same six in my YB400 SW receiver for 1 1/2 years so far.

For those of you wondering what happened to Sac City and Sac County
communications, the entire county is now using NPSPAC 866 Mhz frequencies
on a 29 channel, Motorola Smartnet trunked system.  It is 7 sites,
with many of the channels in a simulcast arrangement.  These new
frequencies are as follows:

People do use spreadsheets for data managers, and they do work well.
Up to a point.  Even the most powerful will accept only so many lines,
and the more you have, the slower it runs.  You're also limited with
respect to querying the sheet, but...........

So long as you have a few hundred freqs or less, I would guess that it
doesn't matter and whatever is more comfortable is maybe "best".

Get more than a few hundred freqs, though, and you'll be sucking rocks
with a spreadsheet.  That's where database managers take over.  Many
can manage up to 2-billion records.  Not that you'd want to.....  :)

I am trying to get line-level, non-speaker audio out of a Motorola
Spectra radio.

I see where they have provided for it on pin-11 of the rear
accessory connector on the dash-mount Spectras. It does
qualify it to say "SP applications".

So, what SP modification must I make to get audio out of
this pin? It does not put out audio as it is now. Is it
programming, like turning on the vehicular repeater or
is it a hardware jumper?

Thanx in advance.

   I'm not an expert, nor do I play one on TV...but I'll cite a couple
   of things in the past.  During the great East coast power failure of,
   oh, 2 decades ago (?), nearly all of the airport comm went down with
   hundreds of aircraft aloft, most of them air carriers.  The pilots
   kept track of each other plane to plane and nobody crashed.  [the FAA
   had long had emergency generators for airport lights, but neglected
   to mandate that for radios...since been amended]  The public safety
   services can talk to one another HT to HT, car to car; won't be as
   fast and efficient, but they will get the comm through even on a
   makeshift go-around "plan B."

   I got interested in airways scanning when my manual-tuning Regency
   (yech) aero receiver picked up something like "fire in the tower"
   from nearby Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena airport.  The tower cab was
   right above the airport restaurant which had a goodly kitchen fire.
   Heard a local news chopper get the scoop on the tower folks setting
   up shop from a truck and loaned transceivers from Pac Aero, a big
   a/c maintenance company at BUR.  The tower was in makeshift-mode for
   at least a week but comm went okay (sans radar guidance).

Folks who GET THE JOB DONE will scrounge/adapt/improvise/invent
work-arounds if needs be.  There's a few out there who just want to
destroy and harm others.  Pity.

Actually they do, but the larger the system the more ineffective the Fail
Soft functioning, since there are more users to go around on fewer channels.
Also, when you knock out the microwave tower at the comm center, you cut
the comm center off from the system, meaning no voice comms from the comm
center until they can get emergency setups in operation.

Many cities have set systems up this way, with both main and backup
controllers at the same location, usually the comm center. Take out the
microwave system (and the waveguide/dish/tower assembly is the most
vulnerable part), and the result is no main controller, no backup controller,
and no voice comms from the comm center.

Well, my Realistic CTR-82 Voice Activated Recorder has just about died
from overuse with my scanner. The pinch roller is starting to slip. I'm in
the market for a new voice activated recorder, and I wanted to know if
anyone has a suggestion.

I saw the BMI Nitelogger II Automatic Tape Recorder Activator in the AES
catalog. I could get one of these, and a new tape recorder. If the tape
recorder goes out, I can just buy another (regular cassette recorders
aren't too expensive nowadays).

The BMI Nitelogger II takes an 8 ohm source (the scanner external speaker
output) and matches to a 600 ohm microphone input (attenuating the signal
also). It also has a built-in monitor speaker with volume, drop-out
sensitivity, and delay controls, and a record light. Sounds like a perfect
solution. Are there any other units like this available? Does anyone else
besides AES carry this unit?

I think my CTR-82 is one of the few voice activated recorders with an aux
input which accepts line level signals. All of the current Radio Shack
voice activated tape records only have a mic input.

I have had my SC150 for about 4 years and I love it.  It is a good
scanner.  You can pick up cellular phones without having to do any
modifications.  You pick up their images around 894.xxx to 916.xxx so you
don't get the actual freq.  I have no complaints and would reccomend the
SC150.

Dear Sir,

In reply to your recent post to a Amateur Radio News group.  A couple of
notes:

1.  Pyramid games are quite illegal.  Always have been, always will be.
You should be investigated.  Your internet privlidges should be
permanently revoked, and you buns should rot in jail for the next 8-15
years.

THE INTERNET is not some new vehicle for tired old cons.  We wjo use the
internet and don't want to see it regulated worry about "holes" like you.


2.  No one who reads these groups accept those named "illegal activities"
care about your con and wish you would stop wasting space.  If you were
proud of what you were doing, your NAME would appear in the header
instead of some insane name like "MoneyMan"

3.  Scum like you are the lowest form of predator in the world, you and
all the pedophiles of the world should be the victims of WW III.

Sincerely,

Brian D. McKinley, Ph.D.

You bet.  An economical approach to getting the most for the least.

> Does anyone make a device that would accomplish this?

Every Radio Shack store in the world has a choice or two,  So does
most any TV or video specialty store.  The device you want is called a
"splitter".....and it's far more than just a "tee" connector, though
in effect, that's what it is.  A splitter is designed to minimize
losses from the splitting process.

>For the record I have a Pro-2035 and a Pro-2006.

It doesn't matter WHAT you use, though............

> Is there a down side to stacking the units one on top of the other???

Yes, two at least.

A splitter does exactly that......sends half the power received by the
antenna to one receiver, and half to the other.  You're looking at a
minimum of  3-dB splitting loss relative to one receiver and one
antenna.

Two scanners in close proximity can feed each other their PLL and L.O.
products to create a grand profusion of "birdies" and other
interfering signals.  A  physical separation is advisable.

Rgds,

Bill

I'd gladly pay the extra money for the PRO-2042 over the PRO-2035
due to the greatly improved firmware.

Truth be told, I favor the BC9000XLT over both, unless you must
control the scanner via a computer.  Though the PRO-2042 is no
slouch by any description, the BC9000XLT has a more manageable
bank size, can be fitted with an optional CTCSS decoder,
and scans & searches much faster.  Too, it's easier to effect
full 800 MHz coverage with the BC9000XLT.

From the "Buying a Used Scanner" FAQ:


        [ ... ]

PRO-2035:  1995 vintage wide  coverage  base  made  by  GRE.
1,000  channels,  but  cumbersome  100  channel  bank  size.
Tuning knob.  Broader IF selectivity  than  PRO-2006.   Poor
dynamic  range.   10 linkable search banks.  Dumb Auto Store
feature stores the same frequencies over and  over.   Wastes
time scanning empty channels.  See "The Radio Shack PRO-2035
- How Does It Compare With the PRO-2006?," by  Bob  Parnass,
AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, January 1995.

        [ ... ]

PRO-2042:  1996 version of the wide coverage  PRO-2035  base
with  improved  firmware  and  amber  display.  Made by GRE.
1,000  channels,  but  cumbersome  100  channel  bank  size.
Tuning  knob.   NFM  selectivity  is  still  a  problem  but
improved over PRO-2035.  10 linkable  search  banks.   Smart
Auto  Store feature stores the unique frequencies.  Can lock
out up to  200  frequencies  from  search.   Query  facility
indicates  if and in what channel a frequency is programmed.
Scan skips over  empty  channels  automatically.   Can  sort
memories  by  frequency  within a given bank.  IFs are 609 -
612, 58.05, and 10.7/0.455 MHz.  Broader IF selectivity than
PRO-2006.   Overall,  a top grade scanner and second only to
Uniden/Bearcat BC9000XLT.  See "The Radio  Shack  PRO-2042,"
by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, February 1996.

900 MHz telephones are in what I call the kitchen sink band - ISM,
industrial, scientific, and medical, where just about anything can be
found there.  It's between 902 and 928 MHz.

Anything cool happen on the radio today? Any chases, crashes, are the

emergency frequencies to get the real story?

Isn't this what this group is great for?

Anyone have NYC surveilence frequencies?

I now have 2 AOR-1000XLT radios. I bought my second from a guy who posted
a note on the group indicating how difficult it was to program etc....
I find the AOR-1000 EASY to program....to store a frequency in a channel
number (MANUAL+FREQUENCY+ENTER+PROG+CHANEL###) With this unit if you do a
search and come across a data frequency, you can lock this out of the search!

I have tried a Scout / AR8000 combination and it will lock onto
AM signals especially aircraft. If you have the auto bandplan
operating on the AR8000 it will automatically change mode
depending on the frequency the Scout indicates. You can also get
the bandscope to operate on the AR8000 whilst the Scout is tuning
it - great if you wish to check that you are spot on frequency.

Regards

Martin

The Scout will work fine in high signal areas - as long as the
signal you are trying to capture is grater than 10-15dB above the
ambient signal level.

At a range of 10m or so from the target this should not be too
much of a problem. The more unwanted siganls you can filter out
the more likely you are to be able to capture the wanted ones.

There has to be a trade off between range and the number of
signals you wish to capture. In a typical urban area there may be
hundreds of signals being generated. Asking the Scout to sort
through these and just present the wanted signals is asking
rather a lot of a broadband device.

You can either detect local signals quickly - With a Scout or
more distant signals slowly - with a scanner. The ideal
combination is to use both of them together.

Regards

Martin.

I think the KC-10 is only operated by the USAF and Reserves.

I have heard this JAWs callsign a lot lately. But I haven't heard MAPLE, the
VT ANG F-16's. Maybe they switched callsigns?

I have also heard COBRAs (NY ANG F-16's) doing a lot of intercept work lately.

That's also new.

Since the Niagara Falls outfit is no longer flying fast jets is the MISTY MOA
over the lake much in use?

If you are talking the BC300, simply enter the same frequency anywhere.

If you have the BC3000 and are getting the prompt in the diplay that tells you
 the channel is in use on another frequency, simply
press the enter bitton again.

Hope this helps

They both correctly identified how to store the same

   Press enter twice after entering the frequency.

Most scanners have a Search feature of one type or another. The search is
either
manually input ie 31.00 to 32.00 or the scanner will have you push a button
ie FIRE
POLICE etc to find used frequencies. Depending on your location and what
you want to listen to price will vary...  If you just want Police, Fire,
etc.. Then a 100 or 200 Channel Scanner with 800Mhz coverage would do..
These are usually priced
at 150-300 New...  If you want Military Aircraft etc you will pay more..
Also you have
to decide if you want a Hand Held or Base scanner..  On the question of
recording
all I can say is you want a Voice Activated cassette recorder.
.
What scanner to start with I would say a Bearcat or Radio Shack scanner.
If you
want info on some Bearcat Scanners try  http://www.scannerworld.com/
they have listings of features and prices..

What's the story with leather cases for the BC3000XLT?  Everywhere I
check, they all say that they're back-ordered and can't get them in.  One
place even told me that they didn't believe the cases even EXIST as noone
has been able to get them.

Why did the BC2500, and the 200 and 100 before it, all come with cases in
the box, but the 3000 does not?

Most of us would have GLADLY paid $20 more for the product if the company
threw in a case with it!  After all, the 3000 is roughly the same size as
the 2500 was, and the box IS the same size, so the case would have fit in
there just right.

Anyone know of cases for the BC3000?

        Radio Shack sells a case specifically made
        for the PRO-51, but you have to special order
        it and they will mail it to you.  I bought one
        and it fits perfectly.

I got a really-nice glove-skin leather carrying case from Radio Shack. It
was a special order, but well worth it.  I believe it was shipped from Fort
Worth, Texas.

Radio Shack does make a case for that scanner. I just purchased one of
those scanners this week and I ordered a case for it. It comes from the
RSU catalog. It can come to the store or to your home. It is a made to
fit item. It runs around $20.00, plus shipping.

Well...not "copyrighted", but they are protected.  You are not supposed
to disclose information you overhear on your scanner in services such as
the Private Land Mobile Radio Service.  PLM is where your public service
and business stations operate (generally).  Using anything you intercept
for personal gain is illegal as well.  So in a sense - they are
protected as if they are copyrighted.

Ask John about how he singlehandedly tore up other HAM repeaters in
the portland area.  His post he thought was private was funny!

He was apologizing, and trying to explain!

Really Blake?????????

Please, do tell, I have NO IDEA what you are talking about.  How DID I
"singlehandedly" tear up other ham repeaters in the Portland area??

What repeaters where these?
When did I do it?
How did I do it?

I have been involved in catching jammers in Portland.  But
I can not think of any time where I was apologizing &
trying to explain.

I guess I am giving you the "put up or shut" routine, like I did
when you said you had checked me out with a local 2 way shop about
my professional career and you didn't know the name of the shop or
person you talked to.

Hey newbie, change your diaper, wipe behind your ears and get
a newsreader that formats text. While you are at it get one with
a spelling checker. With all the typos you must be have some sort of fit.
You certainly come off as an uneducated buffoon.

>Third and last eat shit! You BC butt kisser.

Havent, wouldnt and wont. BC or anybody. It isnt necessary. Most anything
I need I get quite easily by being the nice sort of person I am. Works great,
but that all is certainly lost on a bumpkin like you.

>I am starting to really love this shit...this must be how BC

You certainly are acting like an ass. At least you admit it.

>Poor old BC wont even except my mail now....'SNIFF

Why should he?  Who in their right mind would? What the
hell could you have to E-mail that would be of any value ?

>And I dont even do mail bombs.

With your recent show of intelligence on rec.scanner I have a feeling
you would blow yourself up if you tried.

>I dont believe in kill a file. I guess I dont have enough foes yet like

It certainly is easy to count all five or six in your camp, isnt it?
By the way, it is spelled dont.

Now this is a class act. Your friend John Mackey has some undesirable
characteristics but nothing like this. You are a classless fool Danny.

Funny, you do the same by not letting others hear what you have to say

    The Family Radio Service is indeed "an advanced Walkie Talkie",
intended for low power use by families and small groups, i.e. around
the neighborhood, camping trips, etc. Operation is half-duplex ('simplex'),
no repeaters, and no license is required.

What does that prove and who cares how much money you make
or how technical bed pans are.  What is the point pinhead?
You sound like a 5 year old in the sandbox throwing a tantrum.

Tells us more about YOU.  You forgot all the licenses you have.
Oh I am so impressed. You are such a man John. WOW!!!!
How much do you make???  How technical are you? Please
tell us more because nobody else will.


I have seen a number of posts stating that Bill Cheek helped
individuals out.  I have yet to see anyone say John Mackey has done anything g
ood for them.  I hear John blowing his own horn among
other things but never anybody else.

Yea John, you will call those that have supported Cheek
ass kissers but the only one that says you know anything
is you.  Get it??  I doubt it. You haven't in over a year.

Yes, that is correct, and it does not help me.  I have decided to wait
until we move to a regular house, and get whatever the technology is then.

Thanks to all who assisted!

Teach me what? What in my post are you reffering to?
But regardless, I am sure there is a lot I can learn from a ton of
Amateurs, thats why I love this hobby/service so much.
Always something you don't know, and a person willing to tell you

It is almost impossible to prove a negative.  Please show me a
definitive study with a properly established scientific basis that
will show that RF is harmful.  After all, it is your theory.

This is the same science that stated that bran was wonderful, only to
state a few short months later that it was not.  The same science that
stated that ALAR would kill everyone in the free world, only to state
later that the basis was flawed.  This is the same science that said
the cranberries would cause cancer in huge numbers of people, only to
be shown to be false.

Chocolate is SIMILAR to marijuana?  The center for science? and
disease control is headed by a bunch of people who at best are self
serving boobs, concerned only about perpetuating their high paying
jobs.

I don't KNOW if RF is harmful or not but virtually everything in the
human experience is harmful, or at least potentially harmful.  Cars
kill thousands every year but we raised the speed limit to 75 knowing
that there will be an incremental increase in the highway death toll.

The prez has declared that tobacco (cigarettes) are a nicotine
delivery system while VERY recently we de-drugged Nicorette gum.  My
mother has smoked for over 70 years and is in better shape than most
60 year olds I know.  I do not condone smoking but I believe that the
benefits to society COULD outweigh the negatives (agreed not likely
but every bit as speculative as your hypothesis)  BTW, could you name
any ... ANY person who has been shown to have died from second hand
smoke??  Why has the average lifespan increased in the last 200 years?

Point of speculation....  In 23 years scientists will determine that a
pack of cigarettes a day will decrease your chances to contract
PMS/Prostate trouble!

Every state (to my knowledge) has some sort of law regulating the sale
of cigarettes to minors so enacting new laws is just plain stupid
until we try to enforce the current laws.

Get a clue folks, the government is rapidly taking ALL of yur
Constitutional Rights away.  Read the Federalist Papers to understand
that the founding fathers were aware of this possibility and
considered it to be the biggest potential problem the country would
face.

It was only OAT bran that was wonderful, not all kinds of bran.

Yeah, but you'd have to eat 50 pounds of chocolate to get the kick of a
single reefer.

Not!  Nicorette was not de-drugged, it was taken off of prescription
status but is still very much regulated by the FDA, as are all
over-the-counter medications.

For Sale: Pro 46 100 channel hand held scanner. Bought new in 1993 and 800

required a diode to be cut to unblock the 800 mHz band. Radio is in
excellent codntion with battery charger built in. Radio operates on 4 x AA
batteries. Sale includes owners manual and AC adaptor. I will ship radio
in orginal box.

I'm asking $175 plus shipping.

Uniden Bearcat 200XLT cellular capable.  With charger, extra battery.
I have had for several years but used very seldom.
I gather these sell for around 200.00 or so in this condition.  I have
no need for it. Make me a fair offer.

I've had mine for a couple months now and it goes where I go.
76-200 MHz
300-540 MHz
590-999MHz (cell blocked of course but just play with IF)
Mil-spec 810 (rugged sucker, feels like a hand grenade)
Digital Code Squelch
CTCSS encode (decode and 20 second digital recorder with FTT-12 keypad)
AM
NFM
WFM (pretty sappy but ok for voice stations)
Dual Watch (will check a sub-band freq for you and lock there if busy)
Needless to say I love this radio. All of the above can be had from your
local Yaesu dealer for under $400.00.
     Lots of accessories availble including adams 1c software/hardware
package.  Have read reports on its wfm that it is very good for weather
sats. Check it out....ed

If only Yaesu had thought to add a bank system to the radio. :(

I still don't think I would give up my 3000 as my primary scanner.

        Last night (August 24), a unit was dispatched from the Police
Departmentt in El Paso Texas to our downtown plaza, in reference to an
assault in progress.

        According to dispatch, there were "8 subjects, approximately 18-20
years old, beating subjects at random.  Weapons are involved: subjects
are beating the victims with plastic alligators."

        Nothing else was said on the subject, and the unit acted like it
was the most normal things in the world. =)

A few nights ago, the Oktibbeha County (MS) Sheriffs office got a call about
a man lying on the side of the road next to a motorcycle.  The victim was
identifed by one unit as someone he talked to earlier about riding his off
road bike on the dark county roads at night.  A second unit jumped in with
"If it is who I think it is, he has been difficult before."  The first unit
replied with, "Well, if he was hit by a car, he won't be too much trouble."

Sorry for my stupid oversight.  Forgot to mention that a 1/4 wave antenna has
gain, too, almost as much as a 5/8 wave, but not quite.  1/4 wave antennas are
 easier to match than 5/8 waves.

I prefer electyrolytic isotropic antennas because you don't have to worry abou
t where you point.

That's not quite true.  There is more information available to a PPS receiver
about the ionospheric conditions as it's signals come in two seperate
frequency bands.

No scanner made or imported after April, 1994, is capable of being
modfied for cellular.  The TDDRA of 1994 saw to that.  You'll have to
pick and choose from the below list, if cellular capability is what
you're after:

Here is a list of all those scanners of which I am aware that are
capable of cellular restoration:

     PRO-2004      BC-855XLT  *3        Regency 4030
     PRO-2005      BC-200XLT            Regency 1600
     PRO-2006      BC-205XLT
     PRO-2022      BC-760XLT  *4
     PRO-2026 *2   BC-700XLTA *4
     PRO-2027      BC-890XLT  *4
     PRO-2030      BC-950XLT
     PRO-2032      BC-2500XLT *3
     PRO-34
     PRO-37
     PRO-39
     PRO-43   *1
     PRO-46   *2
     PRO-51   *2
     PRO-23   *2

     Note 1:  Date of Mfg code 1A4, 2A4, xA3, xA2 (label in
              battery compartment), or no "A" in the serial
              number.

     Note 2: Date of mfg code 1A4, 2A4, -A3, -A2 (label on
             back).

     Note 3: Date of mfg code must not end in the letter
             "D", except for OAID.

     Note 4: Date of mfg code must not end in the letter
             "D".

     For instance, PRO-43's imported before March, 1994, are
     modifiable, while some brought in during March and all
     thereafter are impossible to modify.  Date codes of any
     -A2 or -A3 and only 1A4 and 2A4 are assured of being
     modifiable.  3A4 and up probably aren't.

     The above list does not include those scanners that were
     naturally capable of receiving the full 800 MHz band,
     without modification, some of which include:

     J.I.L. SX-400          AOR-950              Icom R-7100
     Regency MX-4000        AOR-1000             Icom R-1
     Regency MX-5000        AOR-1500             Icom R-100
     Kenwood RZ-1           AOR-2500             Icom R-9000
     Uniden BC-800XLT       AOR-3000             Icom R-7000
     Yaesu FRG-9600         AOR-8000

     Some of these radios, if still current, had the cellular
     removed by the factory after April, 1994.

Hi,

I have a major problem with my BC200-XLT scanner.  The other day, I was
using it when the battery died.  I have a second identical battery that
I thought might be charged.  I put it on, but the scanner would still not
power on.

Next, using this method with both batteries, I tried to power the unit by
plugging it in.  Still, no power.  It will not turn on.

Has anyone seen this problem before or does anyone know what I should do?
I have had this scanner for only 4 years, it should still be working and I
really can't afford a new one.

Please, anyone and everyone that has any advice please help!

Also, please emial your responses so I can get them faster.

Attn:  Bob Grove, I have seen you post here before, and I feel you might
have a solution to my problem.  Hope to here from you!

Thanks in advance,

Yup. Came in a week or so ago. Now on Backorder again for a week or so.

> Any new news out there??

Appearance is obviously Icom with a very nice large clear Display. Front
panel has subtle rounded edges and slight curve on the front all of which
just take that sharpness away from the look - very nice IMO. All buttons on
the front are well laid out and clear and the rotary dial is well placed
and weighted for rotary tuning.

Eash "group" of keys has its own area on the front panel which as I say are
very well laid out. Top right has the numerical keypad. Underneath them the
Scan and Search facilities together with memory channel selections and
variable scan speed and delay time.

Mode slection is easy via well position keys (one for each mode). For those
modes with variable bandwiths each press of the mode key takes you through
to each bandwith. Pressing AM gives 5.5KHz, once more 12KHz and once more
2.2KHz. Keep pressing and it just scrolls though.

Initial impressions on performance are excellent. If you are familiar with
the way the Icoms (7000, 7100 etc) Scan and Search you won't have nay
problems with the 8500, if your not it can just take a short time to adjust
to the Icom way of "wording".

The '8500 has 1000 memory channels. 800 of these are what might be best
described as conventional channels (ie you put frequencies into them). By
default these 800 channels are split into 20 banks of 40 channels however
you can adjust these banks to suit your own preferences (not something I
have played with yet).

100 channels are available for Auto Store purposes amd 100 channels
available to store frequencies you wish to skip over when searching or
scanning.

The 8500 also has 10 search banks (or 20 scan edge frequencies as Icom call
it).

Each bank can have a 5 character name and each channel an 8 character
description.

Frequency coverage is continous from 100Khz - 2Ghz. 824-849Mhz & 869-894Mhz
is delected from the US version and on the FRrench edition you loose
87.50-108MHz.

Standard Icom CI-V output is available as is a RS232 for Computer control.
The manual includes brfied section on the RS232 command codes for thos
wanting to do home brew software.

Monday is a "Bank Hliday" here in the UK so we have a long weekend ahead.
Hopefully I will have the chance to play a little more with the one we have
but so far, I guess its OK :-)

In this area the city police have the ability to link with the RCMP
(federal).. when it's used, it works well about 70% of the time..

The city police helicopter has a series of radios in it that work very
well.. it can communicate on just about anything anyone has in the area,
including UHF, VHF, trunk, pseudo-trunk, straight 800, etc.

The fire departments in the area thought ahead: There is a provincial
"multi-agency" frequency and all of the trucks on my department have some
of the channels of all the other area departments.

Here in Wisconsin there are frequencies in place that are common
state-wide for fire, EMS, and law enforcement.

As jurisdictions upgrade, they will usually purchase radios capable of
handleing all of these common frequencies.  The additional cost of 48
channels vs 16 on a hand-held is nominal.  Most jurisdictions in Wi
are still on VHF or UHF, and the mutual aid freqs are as well.

Mark

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

whom to compare notes.  Interested jurisdictions include the counties of
Howard, Carrol, and Baltimore, as well as the cities of Laurel,
Sykesville, and Baltimore.  I also have a few regularly used federal

The quick answer is NO..
The crappy (but honest) answer is YES, mount it below eye level.

The longer answer is NO, because...

(technofreeks: this is a laymans answer not a definitave technical
anser so please dont split hairs.. )

There are certain technical restrictions associated with the
manufacturing of LCD devices. The problem is not associated with the
radio manufacturer.

Generaly LCDs are made with a viewing angle known as "top" view,
"middle" view or "bottom" view.

What this means is that lcds can only be viewed (and seen clearly)
over a narrow viewing angle left to right and also above to below the
central axis of the lcd.

Pocket calculators or other hand held devices use "Bottom" view
devices because the viewing angle usually from below the central axis.
Dash mounted radios would have a "Top" view cos the viewing angle is
normally from above the central axis.

It is possible to "bias" or alter a vewing angle of an lcd to a
certain degree. BUT this is built in to the circuitry of the equipment
that has the lcd. This is often incorporated in things such as laptop
computers but not on things like radios!

It is not practical or posible for the average hobbiest to mess with
the viewing angle. the benefit : hastle factor is too high!

I think the Icom R-1 handheld had a user adjustable LCD viewing angle.

  I have a Uniden scanner with an LCD display.  If the unit is
mounted under the dashboard, the display can be read easily.
But if the scanner is mounted overhead (as in my van), the
display is impossible to read.  The LCD digits seem to fade out
when the radio is above the observer.  (I'm making an assumption
that the manufacturer intended under-the-dash mounting.)
  Is there an easy fix for this?

WELL, YOU COULD TAKE THE LENS OUT OF THE FRONT COVER OF YOUR SCANNER
BUT THEN YOURE GOING TO GIVE FOREIGN OBJECTS GREATER ACCESS TO THE
INSIDE OF THE SCANNER

No.  Well, probably not, but maybe..............

First, [e-mail] (Donald Gray). explained the
technical side very well.  That's why you can't fix it very easily.
But there might be a fix..........

Remove the front panel from the scanner without actually disconnecting
any wires or conductors.  Devise a mechanical method of re-mounting it
to the front panel, but with the top angled forward by 45-90 degrees
with respect to the bottom.  So much the better if the bottom left and
bottom right mounting screws of the front panel can be left in place
and just the top swiveled forward so that the face is pointed
downward.

Then devise a shroud or other means of covering the opening and fixing
the panel rigidly in place.

Rgds,

Bill Cheek

While your attempting to locate that article which, by the way, is

Just because they say it's encrypted, and its digital doesn't mean it's

I think it is illegal in most states, but not necessarily for the reason state
d by
Gus, although that may also be part of it.  The biggest "ambulance chaser" of
them
all is the news media, and like amateur radio operators, they are also frequen
tly
exempted from the scanner laws.  I believe the main reason for making mobile p
olice
scanners illegal is to prevent people (ie, criminals) from monitoring the poli
ce
activities while in the commission of a crime, or flight from a crime.  Not th
at it
would make a big difference to criminals anyway... just to be breaking one mor
e law!
But its one more thing to charge them with if they're caught I guess.

Also, while amateur radio operators may not be exempted in *every* state from
the
local scanner laws... many of our VHF/UHF radios have the capability to receiv
e (but
not transmit) on the public service bands.  Because of this, the FCC made a fe
deral
preemption to local/state scanner laws so that we may travel nationwide with o
ur
ham radios without fear of having them confiscated.  Of course, not all police
 depts
are aware of this, and its a good idea to carry a copy of this FCC preemption
when
travelling, along with a copy of the amateur license.  It would also be pruden
t to
turn off the radio if approached by an officer and not try to "show off" that
you
can listen in on his conversations... why invite trouble?

not real sure where you are from but where I cam from if a cop found
that a reporter had a scanner in his car and was using it to find news
by the police bands he would have it ocnficated.  it is against the
law to listen to police and ambulance.  be it to chase them to the
"cool" accidents or to get information about a raid they are about to
pull on your drug house.  it does not really matter.  as to the
criminals listening to the scanner most of them are now stealing
police radios and listening to them.

I'm from Indiana Gus... and the state statute here concerning mobile scanners
exempts bona fide news gathering employees, ham radio operators, and members o
f
police and fire departments.  That's our law... I can send you a copy of it if
you'd like to see it.  I've heard that other states have similar exemptions.

Where are you from that its "against the law to listen"?  Does that include fr
om
your home, or just mobile/portable?

Isn't it kind of a waste since SCAN-L is pretty much the same beast?

I was wondering when the subject of a moderator was going to come up...

I don't think a moderated group would be a waste at all. Before this
flame
war this group averaged 70 posts a day and a readership of about 20,000.
Although, don't put too much faith in those figures.

Also, some people simply don't want to be on a mailing list.

Some other random points I would like to make:

- Many people don't have access to Unix utilities such as procmail,
various
  filters, even the killfile switches common to Pine, Tin, etc.

- Killfiles are not terribly effective, or rather configurable, and the
latest
  lisp-based filters have a learning curve beyond what most people would
  bother with

- Many moderated groups simply don't generate much traffic, however I
think enough
  damage has been done here (and also alt.radio.scanner) to make that
unlikely

In general I think it would be good if people had the choice to wade
through the
un-moderated, un-censored muck - or, to easily read scanner related
topics.

May I nominate John Mackey, Jr. or Hugh Duff?  In their absence, I
doubt anyone else to be qualified.

Why don't you just START a moderated group and let it go at that?

Sure would seem so.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am in enough control of my
computer that nothing gets in but what I choose and permit it in
first.  And the process of what gets read is even more merciless and
decisive.  I got me a pair of bad-assed streamlined, jet-propelled
<D>elete and <N>ext keys, I'll tell ya what.

When I feel having a superiority complex, I read Mackey stuff.  When I
feel like feeling good, I read scanner stuff.  When I feel like being
thankful for who I am versus what I coulda been, I read some Danny Boy
stuff. Choices.....choices......choices!

<Shrug>

I don't see why people can't control their virtual emotions, even if
they can't control their real ones.

So this is a scanner forum?  If someone hollered out, "Pizza & Beer
down at Shakey's at 9:00pm for all scanner enthusiasts", there would
he a crowd to show up and some of the talk would be about scanners;
some would be about football; some about the Olympics; and some would
be about who couldn't stand who.  The idea here ain't for JUST scanner
talk.  It's for scanner people to mix with other scanner people.  It
ain't for any one person to judge the merits of what someone else is
talking about.

Same for any sort of specialized gathering.  In this case, no one has
to listen to anyone they don't want to hear.  No one has to do
anything he/she doesn't want to do.

So what the heck's all the ruckus about, anyway?

There's already a taste of the bad vibes that can happen when a
moderator lays down the law.....to wit, John Mackey and Hugh Duff.  I
kicked their sweet patooties from the FidoNet SCANRADIO forum clean to
Kingdom Come.  And y'all know good and well WHY by now.

Those two popinjays are STILL howling and whining about it.  There
will only be more of that, no matter WHO is moderator.  If a moderator
is imposed and elected, then he/she *will* moderate.  Period.  On a
newsgroup, THAT means censorship, nepotism, and a good ol' boy
network.  Sure, that setup will please the fleas off a few of the
control freaks.

Will it please YOU?

Why not everyone just control their own computers, and therefore,
their own domains, and let it go at that?  There ain't nuthin' wrong
with this forum except what people WANT to see wrong.  Here in
virtuality, there is ALWAYS a choice........... Freedom of choice is a
very wonderful thing to have and a terrible thing to lose.

Food fer thought, boys 'n girls.  Vote for a "moderator" and you won't
have a choice.  Ain't that right, Misters Mackey & Duff?

Regards to all,

Bill Cheek

I can well imagine.  Lots of folks would like to have a chat with you
off to the side, in private.  I'd like to see if ol' Scotty
Gustaferson believes in equal treatment and loads up your mail box.
As it is, he can't get to you, so you've gotten off "scot" free, no
pun intended.  He's laid some heavy preachments on the rest of us.

>Besides, if I was a moderator I WOULD NOT "get back and even up the

>abuse of power, the very same thing I have been bitching at you
>about.

But.......but.......but.......I am trying to tell you it would be all
right with me.  You could get your jollies that way and we could all
live in peace for here-ever-after.  It wouldn't be an "abuse" or a
wrong if I LET you boot me off.  See?

You're all toasted and sore because you didn't have any say-so in the
matter when I gave you the heave-ho.  And that wasn't an abuse or a
wrong, either.  Look at the way you act here, fer instance.  I'd give
you the Size #13 crosswise AGAIN, for that matter.

No sense in having a moderator unless he's going to moderate.
Moderate means follow the rules.  You failed.  Not once.  Not twice.
But three times.  That's strike three.  You're out.  Sooooo, if I was
moderator of this new proposed thingamabob, my first order of business
would be to prepare your sailing papers.  And then fetch you another
thunderous kick to send you sailing "through the air with the greatest
of ease, like the man on the flying trapeze."

Thusly, since I would do that to you if I were the moderator.......I
would LET you do it to me, if YOU were the moderator.  That's only
fair.  Ain't nuthin about me unfair, pal.  I'm fair as fair can be.

Now if you begged and did some real obscene sucking up, I might let
you stay.  But I'd never beg you to let me stay.....I'd just let you
kick me off and then lay down and laugh at you.  I laugh at you anyway
because I think you're a very funny fellow.....you and your missus,
ol' Danny Girl...   :-))

Now since you don't want to be the moderator, maybe I'll just pitch my
hat into the ring and see what happens.  You better start working up a
good propaganda campaign.

Noooo, I just said "go for the gusto."  Trying to be encouraging and

See, you're always uppity and cranky.  Your Pa doesn't know what to do

Well, there it was in today's mail...the long awaited 6th. Ed. Scanner Master.
After a real quick lookover, it seems very comprehensive as was the prior ed.
Noticed the thinner newsprint type pages however, which was a surprise consid-
ering the price increase. Hope all the new info will be worth it. I was dis-
appointed to see that they did not have the new crime codes for the Newark,NJ
PD listed. (I live only two towns away and Newark provides for some interestin
g
listening) They only had a one sentence remark that the codes *may* have recen
tly changed. I called SM in early spring of this year to inform them that Newa
rk
PD had new codes,and had them for quite a while already. Oh well...
I'll need some time to "get into" this new book and maybe post more thoughts
in the near future.  Gotta go now..."Patriot" is in town and there is lots of
Secret Service stuff in the clear for a change. Nothing earth shaking, bit at
least it's clear.

Thanks to all those who sent me information on Ocean City Freqs.  I
understand that most of the stuff is trunked at O.C. now.  Thanks find, I can

I intended no disrespect; I was being facetious.  If your
agency had "inherited" a non-red piece, it would certainly
seem a waste of taxpayer dollars to repaint it if there was
no requirement to do so.

Mandated by whom?  As I stated, with so many red CFR
vehicles in service around the country, it cannot be an FAA
regulation that covers yours.  Is it the City or County of
LA, or perhaps the State of California, that mandates this
color scheme?  Or is it merely a department regulation?

Let us know when it's up.  I look forward to seeing that.

        I'm currently a LAPD officer and I worked Central Area six years ago when I w
as
on probation. 1A12 is a valid LAPD unit desination but currently not used. The
 first
number indicates the Division of assignment : ie "1" - Central , " 2" - Rampar
t, "3"-
Southwest ,"4"-Hollenbeck ,etc... The letter indicates the assignment, ie "A"-
 Basic
Radio Car , "T" - Traffic Investigation Unit,"M"-motorcycle, etc.

        The last two numbers is the is the area of assignment...As of six years ago w
hen
I worked there Central Area deployed (5) basic cars - 1A11 , 1A41, 1A65, 1A97,
and 1A71
for each of the three shifts..Day Watch, PM Watch , and Morning Watch. Notice
all the
units on these watches are odd numbered. Rarely, but sometimes, an "A" car is
deployed
on the two cover shifts - Mid Days and Mid Pms . These two watches are usually
 deployed
with Footbeat units, "FB" units, ie: 1FB46.

        1A12 would not have been a regularly deployed "A" car because of the even num
ber
designation but not to say it isn't entirely impossible because some areas do
deploy a
basic car to supplement their Footbeat units on the midwatches.

        Just to help clarify things....

If that cord is no longer available, I'm glad I got one while it was!
You might try asking for cat # 274-300, an attenuating adapter; it has
a 1/8" plug, and an RCA jack. Adapter set #274-359 contains adapters
to allow the attenuator to work with 1/8" cords. $2.99/2.99
I also have these, and they work as well as the cord. 40dB attenuation,
according to the catalog.
Hope this helps.

My local radio shack has a pro 2026 on clearance for $149.  It looks like a
good price.  My local cops just went 800 trunking.  I am just looking for a
bedside scanner to keep track.

Which model of Bearcat is the Pro 2026?  Is it the BC 760?

The radio shack catalog says automatic 2 second delay.  Can it be turned
off?  I don't want it at all for a trunking scanner.

Don't some of the bearcat's have a PL board that go inside, is this one of
them?

Any real life info I can get on this scanner would be appreciated.

I am looking for advice on my scanner(s). I recently
purchased a PRO-2006 with an OPTOSCAN-456 board installed.
When comparing it to my PRO-2030, specifically in the
cordless phone band, I am very disappointed.  My comparison
was an A/B comparison with a roof mount scanner antenna and
with each units small whip antenna.  In both cases the less
capable (or so I thought) PRO-2030 locked on more channels
and sounded better.
My locate Radio Shack service center looked at the PRO-2006
and said it met, or exceeded, the factory specifications.  I
guess some of my questions are:
1)   Should I try a different service center?
2)   Is the 2006 not as good as I read?
3)   Is the Opto board my problem?
4)   Is my 2030 a phenomenal unit?

As far as I know, it CAN'T. However, Scanners Unlimited in San Carlos
California can modify it so images are heard on 370 - 390 or so, and
come in as clear. FWIW, I have one, and it's a FANTASTIC unit!

Durham Radio in Ontario, Canada have the full-coverage Pro26
for $629CA if memory serves.  A bit expensive.  They also
have unblocked Pro43's for $499CA.  $1CA=$.73US approximately.

They also ship to the US.  Here is their Web Page:

http://www.osha.igs.net/~durhamradio/

The Pro26 is at:

http://www.osha.igs.net/~durhamradio/pro26.htm

The Pro43 is at:

http://www.osha.igs.net/~durhamradio/pro43.htm


I am not affiliated with them--just a satisfied customer.

You can purchase the UK CPU or a complete logic board that will allow
continuous coverage for the pro-26, from Javiation. Their address is;

Sorry, don't know the price.

The WS-1000 is marketed by Diamond Antennas is manufactured by Standard and
the same as the AX400 which is sold by them domestically in Japan. As rumour
has it the AOR AR16 is very much the the same radio with one or two "upgrades"
,
maybe 500 channels and also Scout compatability although exact details have
been a little thin on the ground (here anyway).

It would also seem that it may appear in the USA/Japan sometime in the near
future (how near ??). It is not clear though if it will enter into the
European theatre of operation (CE approval bla bla bla, although the WS-1000
does have CE approval). I would hope it does though.

The AOR Japan web site (www.aorja.com) doen't have any advance info. As soon
as we have anything, if anything we'll put something together.

Thats pretty much it ASFAIK.

The AR-16 looks to be a modified version of the WS-1000, with an
additional 100-memory bank and auto-store during search.

It isn't supposed to be out until 1Q97 so don't look too hard for
literature on vaporware :-)

I'm a newbie to scanning, so please forgive any ignorance that may

I've been looking at a lot of web pages about scanning, and some seem
to say that the BC200XLT would be a good choice.

I've found one at a local pawn shop.  It seems to only come with one
battery, and nothing else (no box, no power supply).  So, how much
should I look to pay for such a scanner?  How much did they sell for
when they were new?

Any opinions about this scanner?

The BC200XLT is a good basic scanner.  It has 200 channels in 10 20
channel banks, with coverage of 29 to 54, 118 (or 108) to 174, 406 to 512,
and 806 to 960 MHz.  Cellular is restorable.  It is very sensitive, but
suffers from typical Uniden image rejection problems.

The power supply can be had from Radio Shack.  Just get a wall wart with
12VDC, Center Positive.  Spare batteries can be had from MetroWest in
Lagrange Park IL, or from sources like EEB or Grove.

In good condition, clean and operable, I would think $75.00 would be a
fair price.

Please reply before this group is poisoned by the

Has anyone cracked open a 1991 vintage R1 to replace
the main/backup batteries?  I have no problems to this
date but believe in "preventative maintenance".

Order the service manual for the CTR-69, and study the schematic
diagram in the vicinity of the VOX switch.  It will switch in and out
a set of capacitors or resistors or both.  Changing their values will
change the VOX characteristics.

Is it just me, or is anyone else impressed with Radio Shack's handheld
scanner antenna?  It has a small coil in the middle.  I bought it for 10 bucks
and I heard it was decent.  I am entirely impressed.  My low band performance
has shot way up.  My airband has shot way up too.  I used to have problems
picking up my local(20 miles away) airport.  Not anymore.

Anyone else found similar results?  Seems like the best 10 bucks I've spent
in awhile.

Quick question too, on the antenna, it says to lower the portion of the
antenna below the coil, as transmitting with it fully extended can cause
damage to the radio because of an improper SWR.  Is this BS? Why would it
damage it?

The output stage of the radio is designed to transmit your signal for a given
load.
Altering the antenna length will change the load as seen by the radio. Outside
certain designed limitations, some of the transmitted energy can and will be
reflected back into the radio. As you might guess, this circuitry is not desig
ned
to "accept" this reflected energy...too much and you'll fry your transmitter.
That's why most transceiver manuals warn you to NEVER transmit without an ante
nna.

It cannot damage your "scanner" as your scanner is NOT a transmitter.  Several
of RS antennas are dual purpose and you can transmit with them when they are
tuned (extended) to the proper length.  Don't worry about your scanner.  Enjoy
the RF.

Actually, no...but you since you threw the the gauntlet (directly at me)..


Yes, there were numerous studies and yes, there can be a great deal of
debate on the matter. I am familar with the (supposed) merits of the
different colors, but support (the LAFD) in maintaining its RED Fire
Apparatus because:

1) Changing the color would be too expensive. I mean hey, who would pay
to change all those children's books?

2) Can you REALLY trust a study done during the "Brady Bunch" years?

        I get a magazine called Fire Apparatus Journal,
which is full of fire truck photos from all over. The
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania takes the prize, IMO, for most
departments with odd-colored apparatus.  Everything from
Forest Green to Dark Blue to Black to whatever.

I'll jump ahead of Brian seeing as Ventura County FD is returning to red
after 25 years yellow, much to the disaproval of firefighters and the
public. I remember the study, I read something on it years ago, and yes,
slime green was the highest visible color, but damn is it ugly. In the
years since the study, emergency warning lights have come a long way from
the bubble-gum rotator you see on top of engine 51 in Emergency!. Also, a
new NFPA regulation requires a reflective stripe the entire way around
fire engines (I think things like squads and Chief units are exempt)
which also increases visibilty. If you look at any of LAFD's new Seagrave
engines or the LACoFD's new KMEs, you'll see that the white stripe really
enhances the visibilty both in the daylight and at night, even with the
dark paint.

And oddly enough the Oxnard, CA Fire Department, who was one of the first
departments to go slime green, is now going back to red as well.

And as for VCFD going back to red, I myself am very opposed to it. There
is so much tradition in the yellow engines, whereever VCFD units go
throughout the state, they are immediately recognized as the Ventura
County FD.

Ok, low blow (your reference to trusting any study done during the "Brady
Bunch" era), but apparently right on.  Yes, you'd have to change all those
children's books and who'd want to do THAT?  Yes, fire trucks are red.
Should be red, right?  So, what's with all those other places that have
Yellow, Lime Green, White, etc.  Those children's books say they're
supposed to be RED?   This, of course, is a rhetorical question.

I am currently looking at possibly buying a PRO-2036 from the local
"Shack". First of all, I guess these radios are made by Realistic for
Canada & Australia only, & I haven't been able to find anything about
them on the 'Net.
The appealing option of this radio is the built in CTCSS board. The
radio features 200 channels &  sells for $529 (Canadian $). I'm
wondering if there may be other radio options in around the price range
& with the same features.
Does anybody have ANY info on this radio?

Thanks in advance.

Works is great, especially if you got it bundled with your PC, as is often
the case these days.
If you're looking to buy a database, however, I would suggest taking a
look at FileMaker Pro 3.0
for Macs and PCs. It's easy to use and it has plenty of horsepower
(relational, scripting--even basic
word processing). I've even seen a few shareware templates around designed for
scanning frequencies...

One of the neat undocumented features of the Filemaker Pro Upgrade (CD
Version) is that the WIN95 AND MacOS versions come on the SAME CD!  I
found that quite by accident one day...

I don't know about FileMaker Pro, but most databases would not be able
to do that directly.  What you would do, easy enough is copy the two
columns or fields out into a text file; massage and edit as needed,
and then copy back from the text file into a field or column, and
delete the other two.  Or copy into one, and delete the other.  This
is easy eenough with any database operation.

No Scott, since YOU are the problem, until YOU go away, the problem will
not go away. Scott feels that it is his perogative  to tell people what
they can and cannot say in this newsgroup. If you don't agree to be
censored by him, he'll complain to your ISP and send you one e-mail
message after another touting his distasteful views. I finally contacted
his company, Minerva Systems and asked that he be told to stop contacting
me via the company's Internet access. I was told that he would no longer
use the company's system but that is evidently not the case.

I don't know if the Tropez is frequency hopping or direct sequence.  I'll
guess it's a freq hopper like most others.  The only direct sequence
phone I can think of is the Escort.

You are probabaly just experiencing interference.  Spread spectrum
devices are not completely immune from it.

Freq hoppers do just what the name implies, they hop around on a number
of frequencies.  The minimum nuber is of frequencies is 50 for a freq
hopper.

Most phones hop at rate of about 200 to 300 msec per frequency.  (the max
allowable is 400 msec per frequency)  If the radio lands on a frequency
that already has something on it, another 900 MHz system for example, the
data in the burst(s) on that frequency can be blocked.  Since you are
talking in real time it won't bother with retries., you just lose the
data for that time.  Since all frequencies in a frequency hopping system
must be used equally you will probabaly hit these bad freqs several times
a minute.

Real smart freq hoppers can "train themselves" to avoid interference.  If
they hit a bad frequency more than a couple of times, that frequency is
temporarily removed from the hopping list.  I don't know if any of the
FHSS phones out there do this.

Tom,
Get the new Police Call, all are listed there. Although if you have one that i

less than 5 years old or so, Sterling,Utica,Macomb Sheriff are all still about

the same.  Warren has gone to an 800MHz trunked system but it is extreemly eas

As a follow -up to this post, I have had several individuals email me
about nore info on the Superlink.  I have discovered that this SuperLink
covers more than just my state of North Dakota.  I hve heard others on
from Wisconsin, Michigan, South Dakota, Montana, and even up into Canada.I
contacted Bill, WB8BZH and he informed me that those who would like more
info about the SuperLink may contact him.  He is here in Minot, North
Dakota.  His email address is:   [e-mail]

Again, please contact him for more info, as all I do is listen and do not
know a lot more about it then the info above.  I do know the frequency
that I listen in my area.....input 446.925 out 441.925

Go back to Radio Shack and get their attenuated cable, cat #42-2152 ($3.49).
This will attenuate the extraneous noise, and allow the tape recorder to
work as you want.

A successor of the original company that made the MS-2 is still alive
and well as of only a few years ago.  I think they still support their
old scanners in terms of docs and service manuals.

Tennessee Electronics was their full name.  A search through the Web
or Area Code directories of Tennessee might be productive.  If worse
comes to worse, contact Roy at:

[e-mail]

He keeps records of old scanners and may have more light to shed on
your search....

I apoligies for asking a non scanner question.

I am working on an idea to
track players in a game wearing low power fm transmitters.

there would be a maximum of 25 transmitters?? min of 10
all player would be tracked on a computer via a reciever converter interface.

is such a device avalible?

is there going to be to much interference?

yes I've heard of GPS (but thats way too expensive)

thanks in advance

Tom,
Sure do. They did a great job, with FAST turnaround.  Sent my 200 in for
an intermittant (the hardest to fix) problem.  Was back in a week! BTW-
had done the cell mod and it was still there!

Gasp!  Wheeze!

But say, you ought to try getting that money back.  It was over two
weeks ago that RCMA formally shut it down and announced the party to
be over.  For them to take money after that time is fraudulent and
criminal.  But there is a good chance they will return it with a form
explanation.  I don't think RCMA is that sort of an operator.

No kidding.

Good luck on getting the bucks back.

Funny, Dan. It seems to em, and I am involved in the business as well,
that Mr. Cheek was spouting real facts. Yet you have noting but
inuendo and falsehoods to spread. Now, why is that?

When I say involved, I am a subscriber to a couple of the publications
and often review their work from the customer standpoint.

So, my question is: Why are you arguing just to be arguing? Why aren't
you using real facys, Danno? What is your MAJOR MALFUNCTION?

C'mon now, speak up... We (all of us) want to hear you....

I'm happy.  Doesn't make me any never-mind what folks do.  I'm in full
control of my computational facilities.

I don't think they care one way or the other when they get guys like

No need to have posted it in the first place, but if it was worth

Huh?  Doesn't your e-mailer have CC: and BCC: capabilities?  That's
easy, too, when you're in full control of your computational
facilities.  Try it sometime.  A new birth of pure, unadulterated
freedom might give you a warm fuzzy feeling instead of that cranky,
cantankerous, ornery, out-of-sorts syndrome that you let these guys
whup upon your head and shoulders.

IMHO.....of course.

Does anyone out there have experience with the VTech 910ADL analog 900 Mhz Cor
dless phone?

I have read about problems with the Digital 900 Mhz VTech Tropez re: buttons g
etting flakey & noise. Wondered if the Analog 910ADL/915ADL are good phones ar
 not.

I am looking to replace a cordless phone and wondering whether to go with a lo
w-end analog 900 Mhz. like this one, or to stick with the 46-49 Mhz cordless p
hones for now. Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks!

I purchased this phone and returned it the next day. I found the range to
be poor and the sound quality was very poor. However, I did like the
compact size and it was a comfortable phone to use.

If range isn't that important and you can deal with a scratchy type sound,
it might be OK. Otherwise  stay with a high quality 46-49 Mhz...or go for
the gold and spend more on a good 900Mhz.

        I've got the VTECH Platinum 2 line version and have also been very pleased wi
th
it.  I *haven't* had any problems with the keys on the handset but, have had t
he
occasional problem with the volume keys for the speakerphone on the base
sticking.  (Probably from the fact that my 4yr old sometimes plays with them
with sticky fingers now and then. {BSE GRIN!})  Compared to all the 46/49MHz
phones I've used in the past and most of the 1.7/49MHz phones this unit has
phenominal range.  (I can walk the whole 1/4 mile down to our mailboxes and
carry on a clear conversation even though the base is in a metal building and
only has one window for it's `shot' to the outside world on that side.)

ISA bus????

What sort of shielding does it(the card) have? I've always had trouble
hearing computer noise if I set a scanner too close to the
computer.  I can only imagine the problems with it being right
in the box.

Any other pointers for more info?

Spamming is in the eye of the beholder.  In a special interest forum
such as this one, I should think it to be perfectly acceptable to post
product announcements and particulars.  Perhaps not so good on the
REC.LADIES.KNITTING group......

Well, that's not a problem as near as I have determined so far.  I
seem to be able to hear what I want to hear, and my monitor site is
geared for some long distance hearing.  Selectivity is a good
question, and I will try to get an answer, either from Rosetta
Laboratories, or by my own bench tests and measurements.

Yeah, lots can change in four months.  Look at the computer field, for

They have a web page.  In fact not to long ago the company was doing
some heavy spaming about their product.  The only spec they left off of
the page, and I can not get a answer from them, is selectivity.  The
failure, or avoiding, to answer this question of mine may mean that
yes the radio will be subject to computer noise on some bands.

This radio also came with a BIG price tag.  $800.00 american dollars
was way too much to pay for this thing.  The only place you could get
them is from the company in Austraila.  The information that I got
from them is about 4 months old.  You all know the saying, prices and
specs subject to change without notice.

Good Luck

Hi Bill,

The Winradio has been available over here for a couple of months.  I haven't
yet been able to find the balance on all settings that will allow it to
"scan" at an acceptable level - a little more tinkering perhaps.

That aside I was very sursprised at the HF performance. When I fisrt fitted
it I put in a Volmet frequency I was most pleased to hear a nice clear crisp
tx when I was expecting more of a voice behind computer hash.

I've found VHF/UHF performance to be good when tuned to single frequencies
but as I say havn't quite managaed to get the balance of squelch delay &
signal threshold settings etc to scan OK, It might be the PC I'm using it on
so I should perhaps try another one and also check if the software has been
updated at all.

Who uses PL-decoding all that much?  I think it can be added, though.
Hit counting is done in the software.  50-cps is slow scan rate?

WinRadio's sensitivity is STATED to be 1-uV.  In reality, it is MUCH
better than that....somewhere on the order of 0.25-uV.

around our great nation (and the world), I was saddened to find that
50% of the posts to this newsgroup had nothing to do with scanners but
more to do with childish nonsense.  I found I was waisting alot of time
wading through the posts to find some technical tidbits or hot new
frequencies.  I wish you all the best and I hope return to this group
in the future when certain individuals have turned their hatred
elsewhere.

Best Wishes,

Just out of curiosity, how's come you feel that way?

Is there something in particular you'd like to talk about?  Any
special sort of assistance you need?  Some scanner lore or knowledge
you'd like to have?  Got anything hot to lay on me?

I mean, don't feel oppressed or stifled, man.  If there's something
particular you have in mind, hey....out with it, ok?

Rgds,

I would appreciate any insight on the 800 Mhz Trunk System in Orange
County , California. I listen to my scanner and hear dispatched calls
where the dispatcher assignes the reponding units to repond on "2-India"
, "4-Golf" , "4-Foxtrot" , or "2-Echo" . I'm presuming these are
channels on the trunking system. Does anyone know the  assignment of
these channels and the actual frequency .

        Also is there a dedicated Dispatch channel / frequency for North
Net , Central Net , and Orange County Fire. Please advise and thanks in
advance.

I have the 960 VTech (my second phone) and I'm quite pleased with it.
Digital scrambling over 900 Mhz (I tried listening in on my onw phone
conversations with my scanner and got nothing but noise). The phone works
well--clearly and reliably. I haven't tried it over any great
distance--but it has been fine over the limits of my house, from the
basement to the second floor. I wouldn't use a cordless that anyone else
could listen in on.

We exchanged e-mail on the pros/cons this scanner. Personally, I would go
with the AOR2700 instead. The current low price promo that I've been
hearing about--one person told me she was quoted $209!--computer control
and auto programming being the deciding factors.

I noticed on my CD-ROM that it listed a number of features and alongside
one of them it said something like "Mac version only" and I suspected that
there might be two versions on the CD because of it. Yep, there are, which
makes this database a terrific option for those of use running Macs and

No? Well then, how do you explain this web site?

http://www.osha.igs.net/~durhamradio/pro26.htm

Are they doing a mod by altering the onboard chip or by replacing the
chip. Inquiring minds want to know.

Well,
The BC3000xlt is the best Handheld VHF-UHF scanner that I have ever had
the fourtune to play with...Almost no Intermod...Bank layout is
great...And you have the option of cell freqs in either images in the US
model or complete coverage in the UBC3000xlt overseas model...So, Pretty
Darn good scanner overall....

Get a schematic for it and find the contrast section for the lcd panel,
by changing a fixed resistor ( could be a small variable on board )
and putting in a variable, the contrast can be changed for various
viewing angles. Without looking at the schematic for the scanner,
I cannot tell you which resistor (pot) it is.

I'm looking for a Bearcat 890XLT scanner.  I could care less if gets
cellular or not, but it must have the CTCSS decode chip already
installed, and working.  I would prefer box, manual, stock ant, all
with it, but would still consider without.  Email me and we'll talk
prices.

I like Santa Barbara County's rigs myself. I love the white and with the
blue stripe they're pro. And what a bitchin logo. Ventura County BTW is
going to get three type 2 rigs very similar to Santa Barbara County
Engine 313 later this year for stations 20, 25, and 28.

Ok, now, on the color thing. Ventura County has two slime green rigs,
they are OES units, OES 231 stationed at fire station 35 in Newbury Park
is a 1987 Ford/Westates, which is assigned as engine 135 and OES 214 is a
1972 International Van Pelt 2110, stationed at FS 46 in Simi Valley,
designated E246, both are slime green, and Ventura City has one OES rig,
OES 230, identical to OES 231. Fillmore Volunteer FD also has a slime
green rig, an old 1970s vintage Ford/Van Pelt. Oxnard had all of thier
apparatus slime green from 1971 to earlier this year when they began to
switch back to red. They have re-painted all of thier Macks, but the
Peirce Lances are still green as well as all of thier ladder trucks and
rescue sqauds. All of the chief cars have also been painted red.

Oh yeah, forgot, all of the U.S. Navy fire equipment here in Ventura
County is slime green, plus Bureau of Land Managment's stuff is all slime
green as well. I can't think of any other FD off the top off my head that
has slime green rigs but there has to be a few.

I just picked up the new Metroscan book for the local HRO and  it
gives the Tones for most of the frequencies. But some of them the
tone is given as CS.

My question is, of course, what does CS stand for?

Thanx in advance,

Mike

I have a question on the 1000XLT,

Currently I am using it as my main scanner with an All Band antenna hanging
from my ceiling...

I find that I need to put the squelch up rather high to eliminate white
noise on some of the 800Mhz Frequencies..  I can't mount the antenna
outside since I'm in a Condo. The specific frequencies are 866.5125,
381.000, 342.200.   When I have the squelch up I lose the weather channel
(162.55 or 162.4).  The same config on a PRO 2006 will work like a charm...

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,  Jeff   [e-mail]

All these areas (except for NY?) use 155.475 for Mutual Aid, 155.370 for
Point to Point.


WI: 154.905, 154.935, 155.445, 154.680, 151.460

IL: 42.50,34,36,44,46,52,54,56,60,62,66,68,70,72,76,80,84,90
    44.66, 44.70, 45.06
    154.650,665,680,695,710,845,905,920,935,950
    155.055,445,460,505,520
    156.000
    And in the Chicago area a 20 channel 800 MHz trunked system, plus the
tollroads use a 10 channel 800 MHz conventional skip channel system (5
Maint., 5 Police channels).

IN:   42.42,26,10,20, 155.445, and several districts have switched to 800
MHz trunking systems.

OH:  Most freqs are in the 45 and 46 MHz ranges, I can't recall specifics
off my head.


On Low Band, the 42.02 thru 42.94 (20 KHz spacing) range, and 44.64 thru
45.06 (40 KHz spacing) ranges are reserved for state use.  On High band,
the following are reserved for state use: 154.665, 680, 695, 905, 920,
935.  155.445, 460, 475, 505.  There are exceptions of course.  155.475 is
a nationwide mutual aid channel, and is controlled by state police
agencies in most states.

I've owned probably 40 different handheld scanners in the last five
years and there is no doubt in my mind that none of the above is the
correct answer.

If you can find a pro-43 at a reasonable price grab it.  The later
ones cannot be unblocked  for cellular and I've never owned one of
them so I can't tell you much about them but the earlier ones (don't
ask me dates)  have the best audio, intermod rejection, image
rejection, and ergonomics of anything that I've ever used.  I've
always kept at least one even though I've bought and sold many.

There are 'CMARS' freqs, but they ONLY work if the different agencies have the

same radio system (using trunking) A Motorola system can NOT talk to a
Johnson/Ericson system, even if they have the identical CMARS freqs installed,

unless they use simplex mode.

Dispatching a call to a local 7-11 for a disturbance dispatcher says
(laughing) that the PR says the suspect has "Rock and roll hair." An
interesting mental picture.

Dozens.  What do you want or need?

Unfortunately, that's one that just isn't possible.  What else?

Well, I grew up in Alamogordo, NM (current home of the stealth fighter).
They had to do *something* with that technology when the Cold War
ended...  :-)

Now *that* makes sense, at least back home in southern New Mexico.  When
I was a BLM archeologist and I needed help from our fire guys, I saw that
truck coming from about 5 miles away.  A red truck would have been
"stealth" in the desert.... nyuk,nyuk,nyuk  ( I couldn't resist, Dr.

I paid 200.U.S. for mine.The board was an option,and was not included.The
scanner is o.k. but not great,in my opinion.Incidentally,I along with many
others had problems with the set losing memory.It was repaired under
warranty,and was found to be a bad lithium battery.I think given the
chance over I would pay the extra 50. or 100. and gotten a better
scanner.One of my reasons for buying it was the military aircraft band,but
haven't had much luck recieving there.
                                                          Just my opinion,

I have designed a switching scheme that allows the user to select
the stock 12KHz AM filter or the narrow SSB 4.0KHz while still in
the AM mode. I have found this to make a BIG difference when trying
to receive a weak shortwave station next to a very strong one.
The only part required is a switch and some wire.
I have heard of another mod that uses 1N914A diodes along with a switch
that is more complicated to install. My mod has a large diagram that
clearly shows where to install the switch.
This mod has no effect on the use of the DS8000 speech inversion accessory.

Send me email if interested.

Recently I was reading Monitoring Times and noticed that many of the
authors ended by saying 73.  I have also noticed several posts ending with
this also.  What does it mean?  Sorry for such a newbie question but I
have never heard of it before.  Thanks for any enlightenment on this
question.

I got some info from EDCO indicating the US price was $699.  Way too
expensive in my book.  Yeah, it is a neat little gadget, but just
doesn't do a hell of a lot.  Not PL decoding, no "hit" counter, alpha
tags too small to be very useful, slow scan rate, etc...

I did see some spec that listed sensitivity, but can only recall I
wasn't impressed with the number.  I might pay $200 to $300 for
something like this....scratch that....I doubt I'd pay that much.

Just my 3 cents (adjusted for inflation).  Your mileage may vary.

Durham does the downconverter mod available for all US or Canadian Pro 26s or
will sell you one (for a lot more money) which has the UK (or as they say
Government) CPU in it.

The Pro26 sold in Canadian RS stores can not easily be modified for continuous
coverage.  The Cheap downconverter mod though is pretty good however.

Listening to cellular gets pretty boring after a while.  You just want to phon
e
up some of these people and explain to them that they are taking on a radio
especially when they are talking about other people that have no idea the
discussion is being broadcast to millions.

The best place to use it is in a resturant or elevator to get someone to shut
up and get off the phone.

Thanks but tpenn has one !

Paid about $300.00 brand new from RS.
It seems a high price to me on a discontinued item.
Maybe it's supply and demand??
People want the cellular thing,no law against listening
up here in Canada(i think?)
BORING STUFF to start with!!

        "73s" is an expression that uncreative and lazy
        ham radio operators use when they want to say,
        "Goodbye and best wishes."

I went into one 6 months ago and they gave me the catalog free.  I'll bet
their policy is to give one away of someone asks, but they have a price
on it to make the customer feel like they're getting a good deal.

BTW, I was in an RS not too far back and they had those free Prodigy and
Netcom disks sitting out on a rack.  With $5.95 price tags on them (I am
NOT making this up!).  Sleaziness of the highest magnitude!  The
background music in their store was provided by a constantly-skipping CD
player (their own brand, of course).  I took out the CD and it was

Upon further review, I see where it was 7 or 8 years ago that
Cheek said he didn't know about that 30-volts.  I was
being an asswipe again trying to make it seem like it was in the
present time that he didn't know.  I'm sorry.  I don't know what

One wonders how they manage to take on additional obligations and fail
to pay their writers for so many months.  I understand the entire paid
writing staff is on strike now.  At least that's what the USSN writers
say.  I think USSN says they "quit", since they didn't have a union.

I have the same scanner.  Happy enough.  Been good for 5 or so years now.  Not
e, however, that
it runs off a ni-cad battery pack, which is part of the unit.  It therefore ne
eds the power
supply to charge the battery.  Charger is 12v 500ma.
Good luck,

>>I am thinking of purchasing a handheld scanner

>>I have been told the following units are quite nice:

>>   Uniden BC3000xlt
>>   ICOM R1
>>   AOR 2700


Currently I have PRO-26, AR2700, and AR8000 handheld scanners.  At the
street price of around $200, I'd suggest the AR2700 as a best buy.
While the RF and audio isn't quite up to the '43's, it's not that bad
either.  The two features I prefer over the '43 is the attenuation by
channel (on all three models) and the computer interface to dump and
load the frequencies.  I do find the keyboard operation of the 2700
quite cumbersome for a scanner.  It's virtually impossible to link in
additional banks while drive.

My two cents worth.

I'm sure there are other ways, but this is what works for me.

I have the latest Police Call, which identifies the freqs that I am
listening to.
so when I here traffic on say, 800.7875 I can see who is assigned that
freq in my area.

I also have Rand McNally Street Atlas, where I can punch the cross
streets or addresses into the computer  and bring up a street level map.
This also helps to ID the town if you don't know who you are listening
too.

Hope this helps.

The only thing Mr. Laws said was that the list was on hold, and that
condition might become permanent.  Too bad.  I had just gotten on the
list about two weeks ago and was enjoying it.  'Cept for all the
flames.

The SPD recently changed to trunking. Does anyone have the stations that
they use the most and/or come in most clearly. I'm kind of a scanning
novice. I believe I understand trunked systems, But they sure make it
harder to monitor. I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

The Pro-39 is another excellent scanner that can be unblocked for cell.
The mod is more difficult on the Pro-39 than on Bearcats, but the sound
quality is much better.

Here in California where pursuits are as common as routine traffic stops,
there are a pair of frequencies used called CLEMARS. It stands for
California Law Enforment Mutual Aid Radio System. It is VHF and there is
daily traffic on the frequencies.

But you won't back up your statement with facts like what repeater equipment
I tore up, where, belonging to who, type of equipment, & how I was not
competent.  You ran your mouth but now that you have been asked for facts
you stay quiet.  If it was so famous you would not need to talk about it
because every one would know.  You are telling stories without facts
to boost yourself & your friend Cheek.  You won't even post this message
you are referring to.

Oh boy, I wonder who might have actually written this ?
Looks like old "you know who" has learned how to play the
"forgery" imposter game.  It obviously  wasn't me.
When have you seen such rubbish posted by me before a certain chain of
incidents ocurred ?

Need I spell out for you who would be the only person that feels the
need to play such childish games ?!
Since I have only been posting relevent informational messages of
late, why would anyone else but a certain scan mods "god" bother to
attempt to rattle my chain !?
Dare i suggest that the same dude is the one posting the "Funky
Stench" nonsense. How about all of those "I need some mod info"
replies that are answered to phantom queries !

Your writting style is as unique as your bad attitude.
Your motive is as obvious as a shown hand of cards.
Poisoning this newsgroup with rubbish and answering phantom info
requests.  How old are you ?
Been too brutalized to confront me like a man  ?  :)
Your REAL knowledge revealed your REAL colours.
I guess If I got the snot kicked out of me I'd be a little shy too !
Somebody's 'patooty' is really smarting.

Your true colours are showing dude ! Go have another swig 'drunkman'.

Anyone care to guess who our latest imposter is ?

A loser indeed!  I have never paid for a RS catalog, despite the cover
price, and with few exceptions, I have gotten one every year since about
'87.

I love my BC3000xlt and haven't heard of anybody having problems with the
model in general. Hook it up to a discone when at home and the reception
will be terrific. The rubber ducky antenna is really only for airshows
and such.

Scannerworld sells them for $339 plus ten bucks shipping. They're on the
net somewhere-just use lycos or yahoo to find the URL.

Bob Parnass recommends it too and he really knows his stuff.

I replaced the cone/driver in the Drake speaker w/ a RS 3" (I think)
cone/driver, which has a larger magnet and altogether better sound.
The improvement is dramatic, to my ears, at least, and the cost was
negligible--under $20 as I recollect.  I wanted to preserve the
cosmetic match between the receiver and the speaker case.

Hang on a moment. I'm in the UK and my Pro-26 isn't quite continious.
It leaves out 520-760 Mhz, presumerbly to make things cheaper.
Not that its that important, this range is in the TV band. It can be

I need to know if anyone in this group has ever used a firestick
HF antenna as a blind-mans cane? I want to use it to get around,
but I also need it to get out on CB.

Any reasonable help would be appreciated...

I wouldn't bother with doubling the number.  That would be just about
as much work and cost as 16x or 64x the number!

That's right....the techniques for 3,200 channels or even 12,800
channels are about the same cost and effort, give or take.

But if you insist on 2x....get another SRAM identical to the one in
the PRO-39 (IC-2) and overlay it on top of the original and solder up
pin for pin so they're in parallel EXCEPT for the CE pins (usually Pin
18).  Leave it isolated on the new chip, and desolder/lift the CE pin
of the old chip from the board so that it is also isolated.

Solder a tiny 100-k resistor 20 each CE pin.  Solder the free ends of
these resistors together and then solder their junction to the Vdd +5v
pin of the SRAM or a handy spot on the trace that feeds it (usually
Pin 24).  Install a SPDT switch somewhere, with the center (common)
lug wired to the trace that used to feed the old SRAM's CE pin.
Solder a wire from one end lug of the SPDT switch to one of the now
isolaated CE pins.  Solder a wire from the other end lug of the switch
to the other CE pin.

This puts you in business with 400-channels.  A replacement SRAM and
service manual are available from Tandy National Parts: [phone]

Contact me by e-mail for steerage to the 16x and 64x mods.

Rgds,

Bill

I got the opportunity to put out a "non-injury accident in progress" once.
A guy was watching his eldery neighbor who was trying to back out of his
driveway.  He was bumping into all the cars on the opposite side of the
street.  I asked the caller if the old guy was gone, and the caller said
it was happening as we spoke, hence a non injury in progress.

I guess you had to be there.

Maybe not my place to say it, but a true news media request wouldn't
offer money for information, that's called checkbook journalism.

Besides, what and who is this for, and why not just tell people that in
the post?

You may want to have your's checked out.  I just plugged the 520 low
and 760 high limits and the search commenced without error.  In
wide-band FM, it localed a local UHF TV audio channel just fine.

I'd be willing to start a replacement list here at UCSD. How many people
are on SCAN-L?.. any ideas?... any UCSD student can start a listserv, but
I am not sure about the limitations. I'll find out.

        ROTFL!

        I *love* it when some `droid' ends up costing himself more just because of
stupidity.  (The manager of one of our `local' Rat Shacks and I have an
`understanding'.  For me the danged stickers are basically useless since I'm n
ot
one to drag around a catalog with me everytime I drive the 32 miles into town
and just *might* drop in.  So...  He just takes it off and absorbs the tax
`difference' and gives me the catalog.  Helps keep both his and my blood
pressure down.)

        I have found that if you take two scanners in one hand and a frequency
counter in the other, toss them in the air and you can juggle just
fine!

        SERIOUSLY, I tried using an antenna-mounted scanner pre-amp on several
models of frequency counters (Radio Shack, several Optoelectronics)
and found it to boost their pick up range.  You have to play around
with the gain a little to find the best setting, but it works.  It
seems to work especially well with a bandpass filter or specific
frequency range antenna.  It just about makes the Radio Shack model
worth buying(but not quite).  Give it a try!

I haven't played with the 2700 at all,but the 8000 is pretty good.The R1 is
a dog unless you live FAR away from about any strong transmitters.My pro 43
is like a rock compared to it when I take it to downtown Toledo,Oh,and it
(the 43) just about drives me nuts from all the intermod it gets from all
the paging transmitters.I had an R1 for a couple of days,and it was
really,really bad as far as intermod goes.It scans too slow,has really tiny
buttons,and has that weird Icom programming "logic".I'd pass on it....

No kidding.  I just received a thinly veiled, glossed-over threat from
publication "B", myself.  Someone sure is getting hard-up these days.

But it ain't the ENTIRE scanning community, Clay.  It's just a few
individuals and maybe a company or two that think hardball is their
game.  It's downright weird how this cacophony of squeaking wheels can
create such a ruckus and get away with it.

But I can tell you part of what's happening.  The radio market is
going sour for technological reasons and lots of small businesses are
in the failure mode......just like after the CB boom ended in 1980.
Some of these guys are downright desperate and are on the lookout to
snag anything that looks like it has a pocket with some cash in it.
That's part of the problem.

Now it ain't only the MARKET that's shaking.....it's also the hobby.
The biggest share of the radio hobby is dependent on voice
communications for its interests......and it just happens that voice
is the least efficient mode of RF communications.  Technology is
creating many alternatives to voice, including privacy protection for
what voice comms are left.....ala DES/DVP, spread spectrum, and
digital methods.

All of radio is in a bind right now......and even the dregs of the
hobby are crawling out into the open like worms outa the ground after
a rain.  A few bad apples always did tend to spoil the barrel.  But
that's only the half of it.  The other half is this newfangled
networking scene we have now, where even the passive hobbyists can
jump in for a go-round, just like hams and CB'ers did for years.

Everyone knows that the ham and CB bands are chock full of peeing
contests; spectrum wars; and some very realistic flamefests.  Now get
this......if you listed all the perpetrators of trouble here on this
honorable forum, isn't it an interesting coincidence that the great
majority of them are also HAMS?  Not to say this is a reflection on
amateur radio.....it is NOT.  It is a reflection on the problems that
have beset amateur radio for so long.

Something to think about.

*IF* this newsgroup is to be moderated, then my hat's in the ring,
 self-nomination, if you will.  I've got moderator experience, and a
 decisive Size #13EE boot.

*IF* it is to be another group, then I do not wish to be considered.
 The two existing scanner newsgroups are ample, IMHO.

*IF* it is to be this group, please consider that a lot of people,
 probably most, do not want it moderated.  A failed vote might do more
 harm to "the Cause" than good.   Far better to just start a new
 group, and moderate the hell out of it.

IMHO.

Look Bill, I did not post that message. I don't care what you think.
Someone is causing trouble. In case you haven't notices I have been
quiet lately. The newsgroup has been nice and quiet for about four days
and I hope it will stay that way. I have made a appology to everyone but
you. I will no longer play this game......back to scanners please.

Bill......I personally think if you moderate this newsgroup it will be
ten times worse than it *was*. I don't think it would do any good. ISP
don't care what is going on as long as they are getting their money! We
have seen that already. So what good will it do? I for one feel that if
we *all* grow up and act responsible we can get back to normal. I am
sorry for the flames I caused here and will try my best to keep my
opinions to myself.

Abraham,

Rocky Flats is using a GE EDACS system on 400mhz. Last I knew the full
boogie anti scanning tones were on, but I haven't checked in awhile.

This system covers fire, EMS, security, etc.


Here's the freqs..

406.350
406.750
407.150 (Control channel)
407.950
408.150
408.750
408.950
409.350
409.750
410.150

Hope this helps,  Thanks Ken..

My arsenal: PRO43, 2032, 2006 (all cell modified) and my first scanner, the my
sterious
PRO36 -- a 20-channel handheld I've never seen info on here or at Tandy's webs
ite.

The PRO-36 has a GRE cpu -- does this mean it was GRE manufactured?
Anybody know additional channel or freq mods?

I heard somewhere that if, after disconnecting coax from radio during storms,
you
put the connector-end into an upright glass on the floor it offered some sort
of
protection. Wivestale or valid?

What about stacking a vertical TV antenna and an 880 mHz Yagi on the same 10'
mast?

Any chance of going to a cell site, turning the squelch all the way up, and lo
gging
it's frequencies?

Thanks y'all -- Bryan

For infos about the Winradio Card and Download the Demo Software
(quite Brilliant) check: http://www.kiss.com.au/winradio/.

I read an 9 page article about the card in a german scanner magazine,
and the card seems to be a pretty good deal for the price which is 599
USD over here. Comparing to other Scanners in that price range the
card is about equal. The card comes in an Aluminium Chasis, which
shields against the computer raids. But there could be problems by
antenna raids, therefore you should use an shielded antenna wire
and not the antenna wire which comes with the kit.. The
only thing that the filters for the bandwith on the Shortwaveband
could be smaller, but maybe Rosetta Labs, did not consider that in
Europe the density of the Radio stations are much tighter than in Down
Under. I also heared that Rosetta Labs plans to release a Porfi
Winradio Card for approx 1000 USD (German Price) with different
Filters or a Pre-Selector. Since the card only comes with Local and DX
Sensivity.

Good Luck

Interested in listening to sideband transmissions in the V/UHF range
(ie..50, 144, 430, 1296 MHz ham radio)  with your PRO-2004/5/6 ?
Don't have a shortwave radio with a BFO  to connect to the 455 kHz
I.F. of your scanner?

SSB CB radios are virtually a dime-a-dozen. Many people have one
stored away in the corner of the cellar from lack of practical use. (I
bought one at a garage sale recently  for $20 !)

I'm considering the design of a simple and inexpensive converter to
allow you to connect a 23 or 40 channel SSB CB radio to your
PRO-2004/5/6 scanner to allow Sideband and CW reception.
Installation would involve adding a simple pick-off point within the
scanner, connecting the output of the converter to the antenna jack of
the CB and applying power.  Turn on the scanner, tune it to some
sideband activity and adjust the clarifier  for optimum reception
through the CB !

Any SSB CB should work...23 or 40 channel.  Since the smallest step
size of the PRO-2004/5/6 scanners is 5 kHz., it would be best to use a
CB with a 'clarifier' range of at least +/- 5 kHz. for full coverage
(clarifier may require a simple mod for more range).

E-mail me if interested.
Although I will do a little experimenting on this in the near future,
I will pursue it further if there is enough interest.

Cheers !

My favorite is the GRE All-Band, sold direct (see their ads in most mags)
through colorblind CRB Research (they call it the "red top" ..... it's
orange) or through Radio Shack parts (it's the replacement for the PRO-34
[THIRTY FOUR] original duckie). It has a little null in the 220 band, but
otherwise has pretty uniform gain across most scanner bands.

Every new scanner gets the bundled duckie tosed ritually back into the
box, and fitted with one of these. If you need VHF-lo performance and size
is not an issue, try the Austin Condor.

Anyone can write to me on my fido address.  Including you, ONLY 4 have
chosen to do so.  Anyone can write to me at my snail mail address, YOU
are the ONLY one who has done that. (remember the postcard?)  No one
has called me at my home phone number.  If there REALLY were lots of
folks wanting to have a chat with me they would use one of these 3
methods as all three (phone, e-mail, snail mail) have been posted in
this newsgroup.  YOU are the one who has had to (by your own
admission) put in filters & change your e-mail address.  You also
refuse to give out your phone number & keep it unlisted.  Sounds like
you have had problems in the past or else you would not have to do the
things you do.

That's true.  You made false or half-true (leaving out IMPORTANT facts)
& REFUSED to respond to repeated requests to discuss your charges.  YOU
acted as the judge, jury, & presecution WITHOUT hearing the defense.

I imagine you would.  Of course, I HAVE NOT broken any rules on this
newsgroup AND I have only responded to your & a few other messages. But
that wouldn't make any difference to you.  You'll create some rules &
make them retroactive & use them.

I believe that is a common problem with the 1000.
Different squelch settings on different bands,
one reason that I have considered selling mine.

It seems to be agreed that the standard/factory supplied

recommend a good antenna?  I am mainly interested
on the 150 and 450 Mhz bands.  If it is a toss-up
then the 150.  I have considered amateur HT dual
band antennas but am not sure which, if any, of them
might be best.

Sounds like they are talking on side-band.  I'm not an expert by any
means, but from what I've been told, you can transmit just below or
above the assigned frequency (Side band).  If you have a CB radio then
you have probably heard similar sounds because some CBers use side band
also.  From what I've been told, voices  would sound like donald duck.
As for the beeps, that's probably the same beeps you hear when they key
their mikes.


Ofcourse I could easily be wrong!

had five channel radios whereas now the VCFD has 64 channel radios, the
Sheriff has something like 48 channel radios, etc.

Are you wanting the frequency plan for the cellular system in Atlanta??
The carrier won't give that to you. Besides, the way that system talks
right now, it'll probably be retuned soon anyway.

Yea one of the problems we have had in the commercial radio field
is wanna be types calling themselves "engineer" & passing themself
off to hobbyists yet they are not.  These individuals can be identified
calling attention to themself in open or public forum, answering EVERYTHING
that even mentions them,  making accusations with no truth, feeling they
are or should be a leader, & stating they have credentials but refusing
to disclose.  They operate on lies & have to belittle others to feel
right.




Hmmm, like YOU Bill.

I've had my UBC3000XLT for about 3 weeks now.  It is the best scanner I
have owned.  If you're interested in hearing cellular, get the UBC3000.
I got mine from Javiation.  It arrived about 7-10 days after placing my
order.  They also throw in a list of the undocumented features that are
accessible.  It has complete coverage from 25MHZ to something like
1300MHZ with the exception of the block from about 550MHZ to around
750MHZ (It's in the bedroom and my wife is sleeping so I can't get the
exact numbers now).  My favorite feature, even though it is commonly
available on the upper end scanners, is auto-storing of active
frequencies within a frequency range.  If you want any more specifics,
email me.

John

and that is how it sounds. Unscrambler kits and plans are available in
some of the mail order catalogs but the ECPA says it is illegal to use

As I mentioned in an earlier message in this thread the version of the
PRO-26 sold here in the UK (RS Cat 20-9506) and elsehwere in Europe where
done so does have full 25-1300MHz coverage. The 520-760MHz frequencies
are not "missing".

Nope (although I can't speak for Denmark). UK Analogue celllular is
915.0125Mhz - 949.9875MHz with the mobile 45MHz lower,
870.0125MHz - 904.9875MHz.  Spacing is 25KHz although as the channels start
at a 12.5Khz channel you have to use 12.5KHz increment steps as most
scanners will not do 25KHz steps from a 12.5 Offset.

You mean you called their toll-free parts order line, asked for a

OR - you went to your local Radio Shack store and asked THEM to call up

I have a Radio Shack Optimus (7?). Paid $50 on sale. It is dual-firing - with
a nice tweeter and midrange in black bookshelf enclosure. Audio is
excellent and very good on speech and music.

Most anything to do with the president will be digitally encrypted by the
Secret Service. Your best bet is to listen to the police freqs. of whatever
town he is in or goes through.
However, you can try SS freqs. Charlie:165.375 and Baker:165.7875 for some
in the clear early stuff.

Any recommendation would be suspect without the advisor knowing more
about your setup.

1. Does your receiver have a 50 ohm or Hi-Z input?
2. What type of antenna and feedline are you using?
3. Are you adept at building electronics equipment?
4. How much are you willing to spend for a tuner?

        As long as you don't post supplementary information
that has been published (and therefore copyrighted) by
someone else, there is nothing wrong with posting any actual
frequencies.

        Information about illegal activities is not in
itself illegal (in the USA).  If you don't wish to post such
frequencies and that is your reasoning, then it is clearly
your choice to do as you please.  But there is no law in the
US that prohibits publishing frequency information for
services that are legally protected from monitoring.

        Could be.  I'd try again.  My own website was "gone"
for several days because my ISP had serious equipment
problems.  It happens...

I have had my BC200XLT for 8 years and periodically I have a similar
problem in that it will not turn on even though the batt pack is fully
charged. I can get it to turn on by plugging in the unit while I turn it
on then unplugging it while it is on. The problem goes away within a week.
 Returns maybe 4 months later. You may want to clean the contacts on the
batt pack. Good luck.

I guess I'm now an "insider" so here's my info.. Last years catalogs had a
$3 price but had a $3 off coupon on them.  This year, it's $3 but actually
free unless they think you're never going to be seen again.  You're
supposed to give it to all regular and repeat customers.
    Most radio shacks are corporate owned in all metros & important cities
per state.  Franchises are often part of another store and tend to be more
rural.  I've heard life is great minus the corporate crap.  The corp.
stores are all driven for sales & sales gains.  Here's a tip:  There are
untrained, uncaring pinheads waiting to help/fleece you or there are
sometimes more knowledgeable, more idealistic salespeople who love the
toys and want to serve you. Find the kind ones.  It's a commission type
job and pays really low.  High turnover on the job unless the salesperson
is of the two fore-mentioned types.  Later!

Then, Mister John Mackey, you are one stark-raving, imbecilic,
nincompoop of a bedpan changer in a looney-tunes ward.  As for
"engineer".....oh yes, I am and quite recognized as such by many
professional societies and organizations.

The thing that sticks in your craw like a dog gagging on chicken bones
is that I don't need or desire to spout any "credentials" to the likes
of you and Duff.  Why should I?  Who the hell are YOU two?  Two very
sad little boys who got their knuckles barked and butts kicked and
have no one to wipe their snotty noses.......  poor little fellows.

Do you show off your credentials to pissants?  Of course not, and
that's exactly why I don't bother citing mine to you and Duff.  Now
anything who matters knows.  And that is plenty good enough for me.
You and Duff matter about as much as the village idiot flea on a
junkyard dog.  If I gave you my credentials, would it make you LIKE
AND ADMIRE ME more?   Whooooooooooey, thanks, but no thanks, I'll pass
this time.  I don't need any admiration from you and HIM.

Geezus H. Kriste, I sure don't need your admiration.......!!!

As for calling attention to myself.....do you think I do THAT?  Ha ha
ha ha ha ha......you're nuttier than a fruitcake, Mackey.  YOU and the
Duff call plenty of attention to me.  Hells bells, I don't need to do
it myself, thanks to you two popinjays.  You two PRicks are the best
PR in the world, and the hilarious thing is that you work for me for
FREE.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .....  <giggling uncontrollably>

And belittlement?  Ha ha ha ha ha......find me ONE, John Mackey, find
me ONE fellow who got belittled by me who didn't start it in the first
place.  Do it, John Mackey......whip it out!  Let's belly up to the
measuring stick.  Talk about lies!  Geezus, you lie like a rug and
talk like a possum eating road apples....

Keep it up, John Mackey, and I will tell the good people around here
the story of how you were born without any eyelids and what the
doctors did to make you look halfway natural.

   It is stiff (its a solid copper center conductor of moderate size).
   Whether that's a problem or not depends on whether you need to

   I tend to like the flex 9913 coax, but it does tend to cost more.

   As other people have pointed out, for short runs 9913 may be overkill,
   depending on the frequency of interest.

Most of the Kentucky Fried Chikens in the Washington, DC area
have switches to 35.0200 for the speaker and 154.6000 for the
headset.  The all frequency was 462.7625 for the speaker and
467.8875 for the headset.

Hello all,

I need to know if anyone in this group has ever used a firestick
HF antenna as a blind-mans cane? I want to use it to get around,
but I also need it to get out on CB.

Any reasonable help would be appreciated...

for those of you who still think I posted this and other letters here
that seem unusual or defamatory, not the long path statement at the
beginning. This shows where the letters actually came from. Note the
second to last server in the chain. This was the origination point. I
have not the skills to pull this off. I am too new to the internet to
bbe able to pull it off.

I hope this clears things up in the postings of letteres titled:
Thanks DannyB,
Using a firestick antenna...

Eric.

The 'serial' data transmitted that is transmitted by the TSC (Trunking
System Controller) is converted to 'parallel' format for further
'scrutinizing' by the uP (micro-Processor) in the radio.

The control channel (Mot anyway) contains (disregarding the sync,
error correction/detection and parity fields): a 10 bit 'frequency'
code, a 16 bit address (used for individual unit/radio ID or group/fleet
ID) and a single bit for 'call type'.
