Just picked up a BC890xlt and am looking for mods. I think I have the
one for continuous 800, but would like to see a second opinion. And are
there any other mods? Any input appreciated.

Using my 446 MHz FM ham HT at 1/4 watt, I've talked numerous times from
hilltops in Los Angeles to San Diego, a distance of 100+ air miles. FRS
users at 462 or 467 MHz should expect similar distances in similar
circumstances. LOCATION IS EVERYTHING. It's much more important than
output power. Signals in these frequency ranges, if unobstructed, will
travel "line-of-sight" + about 15%.
At the other extreme, my 446 MHz ham HT usable range is about a mile on
flat ground in the city to another HT.
I'm still looking forward to playing w/FRS radios when they become
available.

Thanks in advance!

I am considering installing a mobile scanner in dash. Since I do not have
a back library of scanner catalogs, I am requesting info on what might be
fully functional and fit. The only two choices that I currently see are
the RS PRO-2046 and the Uniden BCT 7. I cannot find measurements on the
Uniden but the 2046 appears to be the correct size (DIN mount) but I was
wondering alternatives before purchase.
Thanks for help.

I just bought a radio shack pro 37 hand held scanner at a Goodwill for
$15. I was looking just for general input about this unit, I'm new to the
scanning world. Is this scanner any good? What is the normal price range
of this unit? What are the positives and negatives of this unit? Any
info would be great.
Thanks

ERic...don't you think that all this bull about what the Cheeks
Guy is about and how he uses words is rather redundant. what is
this group really about? Or any group. It's a baseless state of
someone's beginning as they want it to be read. That's it.
There is nothing that is real on the internet ... it's read and
forgotten tomorrow.
About the Cheeks guy....did you people ever think that maybe
he is so far ahead of your platitudes-like living that when he
makes statements he knows what your reactions are going to be.
he outdistances most of you because he has the ability to plant
ideas which he knows will get "hot" from the way in which he
lays them out.....if you have nothing else than what he writes
and cannot read between the lines, then you are the one that is
not listening to the Checks guy....
He's using words to get you "up" and "screaming" .... I can do
the same thing. Do it a lot, when it serves a purose. But the
cheeks guy is not answerable to you. If he says he was a member
of Mensa....whether or not he was or is, so what.
In the way in which this group-speak is used, people can be what
they damn well infer or state.
That is the state of anarchy existing on this NeT thing...it's a
five or ten minute look-see into FICTION.
ERIC....Fiction is smaller than living...it's a fantasy. That
is the answer. No one is real. If you get hyped up about that
as a major problem in your life, then maybe life is passing you
by as a great big "whooosh".....
People .... the NET is a glorified stage of Illusions written by
whoever dreams them and read by those who ingest them...the
degree to which you get upset is the degree to which you accept the net
as more than what it is.... Bill Cheeks knows this.
Don't you get it....he knows it is a fictional stage and can do
whatever the fuck he wants to and that is the fact, jack.
If you don't understat this, then the group will continue to be
a source of great angst for you....trips to the doctor of the
mind to get a grasp on what's real and what is "fiction".....
Think about it eric....Illusions are Creative Fictions.....

What is this? Another word which the IDIOT of Mackey will

he will NOT get it.... "get" being the verb
"it" being the noun

he has gone away, but just does not know it yet....

I have a Pro-37 and it is a kick ass scanner. It of course can be cellular re
stored.
It is 200 channels and very sensitive. 30 mhz to 960 Mhz with some cuts, but
it has all
the air including military air band. If you paid 15 bucks and it works you go
t a hell
of a deal! It was around $350.00 new when sold. Much better than R/S's curre
nt
unmodifiable handhelds. Take it in to Shit Shack and have them calibrate and
realign it
for around $40.00, and you'll be REAL happy with it. I take mine in once a ye
ar and
have it tuned up. I bought the 5 year service contract, so it's all free to m
e, so I'm
just guessing at the tune up price. might be less, prob. not more $$. I had
to have
the speaker replaced once, and the key lock quit working, but otherwise it ROO
OOLES! I
find it hard to believe Goodwill had a scanner, especially a Pro-37 for $15.00
. But...
it's great if they did. All new scanners suck as they can no longer be restor
ed for
cellular reception. And Bearcat scanners are shit, only thing worse are those
garbage
Icom overpriced pieces of SHIT. Have fun listening to pro-37!

Sure, I've met him a couple of times at press conferences and the annual
Consumer Electronics Show. Is your point that he has gone into the
magazine publishing to make big bucks in a hurry? I don't know if that is
true but if so, he's an exception. I don't follow his radio magazine(s)
much but the last one I saw didn't seem to be making piles of money.Didn't
he also once publish InCider? That went belly up as I recall (it's been a
while, however).

It is the SAT (Supervisory Audio Tone) you are hearing. Both the Cell
site and the mobile phone uses this to judge quality of signal. For
instance, if the cell site decides that the tones from your phone are
getting pretty funky, it will tell your phone to change power level,
freqs, etc.

Telephones, be they landline or wireless, are duplex devices. It is
very disconcerting to talk and NOT hear yourself through the earpiece.
Your own audio through the earpiece is called sidetone. Some mobile
phones generate their own sidetone, some do not and the cell site will
generate it and retransmit it on the forward channel.
Some phones are capable of a VOX mode for battery savings (ie. only
transmits when user is talking). This mode isn't used much in the U.S.
because of problems associated with it (did the user quit talking or did
he drop out of the system). Also, some phones have differing audio
squelchs and noise cancelling techniques. That may be what you are
hearing.

NATICK 800 trunked WNWY351. I haven't found the actual trunk yet but
who cares... if its like Newton where AMR also operates they are
dispatched on the Fire freq. and use the Med channels for Hosp to
Ambulance stuff.

The sidetone broadcast back to the cell fon on the forward channel is a
much weaker signal. It only has to travel to the tower boundaries, though
from my experience it goes much further depending on conditions that
enhance reception in general.
ESN and MIN are also broadcast on this channel and can be captured clearly
if one is close to the tower, or so I read. If you (or anyone) has tried
this I would like to know of your success (my current scanner doesn't pick
up this freq range).

This parts easy to explain.
A cell phone conversation uses two frequencies. One transmitted
from the Cell phone to the Cell Tower, and one transmitted
from the tower to the phone.
Chances are you will be tuned to the frequency transmitted from
the tower, as this is a lot easier to pick up than the phone.
The transmision from the tower is intended to send just the voice
of the person on the land line ( not the person on the cell phone ).
Usually you can hear the person on the cell phone as well due to
echo effects on the telephone line. When the person on the cell
phone talks. their voice is transmitted back to the tower,
and then onto the telephone lines. Then at some point, usually
at a telephone exchange, some of this is reflected back and so
gets mixed with the voice of the person on the land line. So
the signal transmitted from the tower then contains both voices.
This echo on the telephone line is not an intentional effect,
and serves no deliberate purpose. Although useful to scanner
users. It is just a side efect of the way the telephone system
works. Sometimes it is a strong echo, somtimes weak, and
sometimes non existant.
Therefore the voice of the person on the cell phone will vary in
straength from call to call, but will usually be quieter than
the person on the land line.
Hope that explains at least part of your query.
Richard.

I see your point, and I tend to agree. There needs to be more objectivity
out there as well as journalists with some sence of moral character.
However, it's seems that the radio hobby is such a small niche that
finding quality people to write quality articles or books on the radio
subject is something that's hard to come by. It is even harder now that
the hobby magazines have started to stiff their writers.
Now, here is a challenge: If you feel so strongly about quality journalism
why not give Ken Gilbert a call and join his staff as US Scanner News?

In regards to my reply to Michael Alexander, I only listed US Scanner News
because of my affliation with them. However, I urge any of you with the
ability to write with some sence of moral objectivity (and accurate
frequencies) to give it a try. Monitoring Times, Popular Communications,
Popular Electronics are just a few magazines that accept manuscripts for
review.
My only advice is that if you are going to include frequencies make sure
they are accurate and that if a publisher agrees to publish your work make
sure you get an agreement in writing that stipulates your rate of pay.

a feedline, total length was about 80'. The tower was grounded so I
did not try a seperate ground wire. And it was side mounted, just
about 4' away from the tower. Since I moved, I really miss it!
I would replace your RG-58 with at least RG-6, but 9913 or better
would be best. Dont worry about the TV antenna either, its far
out of the way RF wise; vertical seperation is 10x more effective
than the same horizontal distance.
Also, you might have a loss with RF adapters. A good adapter
can insert 1/4 to 1/2 dB loss each, some of the junk ones I
have measured at 3 to 8 dB loss!!! The Icom discone uses a
type "N" connector for good reason. Put the right connector
on the feedline and dont use adapters. Unfortunately, RG-6
has an aluminum shield, so soldering it involves special things.
The cable length should be as short as reasonable, but you wll
never notice a few extra feet with a good cable. Just don't cut
it too short and then have to splice it.

No, your's isn't the only one. In the first few pages of the ar8000
manual, it states that you can manually input a freq between 100Khz and 500
Khz. I don't have any freqs to test this out on mine but it will accept
the input. The crappy ducky that comes with the 8000 doesn't help matters
that much either :)

A while ago I got a Yeasu FTH-2006 portable VHF transceiver, with 3
preprogrammed channels. Prety useless. A friend told me that there where more
buttons under the cover beneath the buttons in the front.
The 4 original buttons were : Lock, Light, Scan and Pri.
I found 4 extra pushbuttons when i removed the tiny steel plate around these
buttons. When i pushed one of them i got the current frequency in the display.
Another one showed ENC and DEC in the display.
Can anyone tell me what the functions of the 4 buttons are, and how I program
new channels into the transceiver.

I am planning another trip to the Ft Myers, Florida area for a
Sea Shelling trip of Sanibel Island. I have several ideas about
what I want to do and how to do it. I am looking for
someone with the time, equipment, and similar interests.
I do NOT plan on trying to get past the "hotel dudes",
and I do not plan on trying to peek into the restricted area.
This is a SHELLING expedition. I have all of the related maps,
charts and quads, and will be using GPS as well as other
sophisticated shovels and shell locating equipment. If anyone
is interested in joing me on this trip, please e-mail me at:
mike@bite.me.us. I do NOT want any money
from you, and this is NOT a scam. I am planning to be
there in the mild weather of May, 1997.

Most of us know this in our minds... However, we sometimes forget this
in our emotions. I can recall a few times when I had to stop myself from
getting mad at some guy I never met and say to myself - "it's *just* the
net.... It has no bearing on my life." Man, I remember when I was a
net-junkie in the late '80s... I *had* to be involved in everything, and
had to be online as much as possible during the day... It *really* cut
into my reality....

The NF2G Scannist Pages have been heavily revised, expanded
and updated as of November 1, 1996. We now cover all 55 of
New York's "upstate" counties (outside NYC and Long Island),
plus 6 Regions in Ontario Province, Canada. The Canadian
coverage extends from the Niagara Falls area around Lake
Ontario to Oshawa, including Hamilton, Burlington and
Toronto.
Other enhancements include:
-separation of NY-specific from Ontario-specific information
-thematic color schemes to help identify what part of the
site you are viewing
-improved feedback form action so you know that your
information has actually been sent somewhere
Comments about and corrections to the information presented
are always welcome. Please visit soon!

Your contract should also have some exact copyright
stipulations. If you sign away more than "First North
American Publishing" rights, you may be giving away a ton of
royalties. Publishers are recycling material from their
print publications into electronic form and raking in the
big bucks. Usually, the original author doesn't see a penny
from that. Make sure your contract protects your income.

I have a PRO-2006 attached to an external Radio Shack discone antenna.
Because of this arrangement, I have an intolerable amount of intermod
on frequencies between 30 MHz and 200 MHz. For example, when scanning
through the VHF band, my scanner repeatedly stops on channels where
there is no carrier present only to open up the squelch with a ton of
overmodulated, distored sounding audio from a local TV or FM station,
even if I'm in the 154 MHz area, etc.
I additionally must turn on the 10 dB attenuator switch when monitoring
VHF frequencies or when there IS a carrier present on a certain channel,
a large amount of white noise will be heard.
My feeling on this is that the scanner is being saturated with too much
RF from local 100,000+ watt VHF TV & FM stations. And living here in
the Los Angeles basin, I see no reason to doubt the theory. :) One of
my friends one city over has a similar setup, only with a PRO-2035, and
experiances the same thing (incl. needing the attenuator on to monitor
VHF with less white noise than with it off).
I'd like to know if anyone could recommend a couple good FM and TV band
traps to me? I'm hoping there are some really tight ones out there
which don't kill off or attenuate frequencies that are slightly out of
the "target" range(s). In other words, if there is such a filter that
will trap 88.1 to 107.9 without affecting 80 MHz to 88 MHz and 108 MHz
to 120 MHz, this would be the kind I'm after. Same for TV bands. :)
Any information would be appreciated.

Does anyone know if the closed captioning subcarrier on television
stations rides the audio or video carrier? I know that this isn't
*exactly* related to scanning, but its the closest newsgroup I could
really find for the matter. :)

I just ordered the AOR8000 and the Opto Scout. The guy at the store
told me I don't need to buy a computor interface if I have the scout.
Why not? Does the scout allow you to connect the 8K to my computor?
Finally, if it does will I be able to download band plans to the 8K?
Any info you can give will be appreciated. Thanks!
Please no flames.

Andrew,
A lowfer station is a staton operated under Part 15 rules of the
FCC. They are allocated to the frequency range of 160 to 190 Khz, and
must run at or under 1 watt of input. The antenna length including the
coax must not exceed 50 feet. The station does not require a license from
the FCC. One of the past QSTs had an article about lowfer stations and
you can do a Yahoo! search on the keywords "lowfer" and find infromation
on the net.
Due to the low power and having only a fraction of the necessary length
of antenna, they are harder to hear than other transmitters. Which
makes them a good test on the sensitivity of a receiver.
Thanks and 73

I agree with you about the shortwave reception of the 8000. It was not
designed to be a shortwave listening station, and it sure ain't as good a
receiver as many of the strictly shortwave receivers avalible on the
market. However, I am very surprised at just how well the 8000 receives
below 30 Mhz and for that matter below 2 MHz.
Thanks for your comments.

shifter from Grove. I am looking for one of the CTCSS boards...my local RS
can't find one even though I've given them the cat. # from the user's

hard to install, are they worth the price? Also, have they changed the
Cat.# for these and is there a new one/new order number?

Ok Sid,
Sorry about the off the subject discussion of the 8000, but this
thing is so great, that it is hard not to discuss all the options that it
can provide.
I did not know about the improvement in sensitivity. All I know
is that I am very happy with mine. It performs better than any scanner I
have owned in the past (Radio Shack, and AOR 1500). It out performs and
out covers my past scanners. Plus the alpha numeric display helps to
keep track of exactly what frequency you are listening too. Having 20
banks of 50 channels is an impovement of the 1500s 10 banks of 100. Only
trouble I have found with the 8000 is that there is an image of the
cellular band from 1420 to 1440 Mhz.
The computer control scanning has proven to be very helpful. It
makes it much easier to reprogram the scanner. I at times travel back
home to see my parents, and before I leave I plug the 8000 into the
computer and dump the frequencies for back home, into the scanner. Takes
all of 5 minutes, what could take hours. When I get back it takes 5
minutes to reprogram the local stuff back in.
I recommend getting a protective case for it. The case and
display is very easily scratched. Other than that, I like the way the
8000 looks, and the rubber grips on the side help considerably if you
have sweaty hands.
Well that's my 2 cents worth. Hope this helps.

PAtrick,
good points all around. I do let my emotions get the better of me
(sometimes) and perhaps, I should stand off and let sleeping dogs lie.
However, some things just grate on me so much so, that I must respond,
if only to clear my head....
Ah well, so it is.....

If you dont here the cell side, they are talking long distance...wierd
eh?
If the cell side is quiet, it could be that the peson is just a quiet
person.
If the other party is quiet then they are both on cell phones and you
are listenng to the one that is louder....scan to see if you can find
the other one....presuming they are in town too.
There are alot of factors.

Well I will agree that the receiption below 500 Khz is very poor compared
to the rest of the receive range. However, I have talked to several 8000
owners in my area and they all have used theirs to receive several
stations and beacon below 500 Khz, so I would say, if you are very close
to a Long Wave staton then you 8000 should be able to receive it,
otherwise forget it.

Hey anyone know the estimated range of the rubber ducky antenna's that
come with most scanners on a good day? I live about 5 miles from an
airport and am looking to pick up the tower from my house. Will I be
able to pick it up with the ducky or should I get an extendable whip
antenna or mag-mount or what? Any feedback would be appreciated.
P.S. Outdoor antenna's are out of the question (housing regulations).

Erm... I didn't suggest this.... I simply asked if someone knows what
a 'lowfer' station _is_. My apologies if, for some reason, my post
didn't make that clear.

The newer models are now blocked with no easy restoration of cellular
freqs; otherwise, 800 MHz is still accessible.

The TV signal is actually a single 6 MHz wide vestigial
sideband signal. The audio and video information are
subcarriers within this large amplitude modulated envelope.
So are closed captioning, secondary audio, video synch and
all the other information contained in a TV channel.

I plan to have the original Uniden software, along with a Windows front
end, available for downloading on my Web site shortly. The cable is
merely a 9-pin to 9-pin straight through type. A null modem adapter must
be used with this in order to reverse pins 2 & 3.
Give me a few days to get the stuff uploaded...

Hello Rob:

PETA rally, at the Pac Lumber Rally expending YOUR time and YOUR money?

Dont know about not making anymore but they certainly cannot legally

Unfortunately (or fortunately !) the 2700 will not get approval cos

There is a connector you can use between them. It is called the
SAC-8000 or something like that. It is about $35. OptoElectronics
sells them.

Hey Everyone,
Lately my 200's battery life has been dwindling between
recharges. Lately, it has been down to about 45 minutes. I downloaded
some mods from oak.oakland.edu, and noticed that one of them stated that
Uniden would do the battery life mod for free, even on an out of warranty
unit. Although I have had good luck with Uniden reparing my stuff, I have
never had good luck getting them to answer questions. They have never
replied to any of my mail (Snail or E-). Do they have a 1-800 number?
If so, do they actually answer questions? Any help with this battery life
situation would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks....

US Scanner News is the "deadbeat publisher" that was referred to when this

Drew Durigan made a remark about "black animals..rioting and looting..."
in a post that he initiated. You folks can say whatever you want about
Cheek, Mackey, me or anyone else, but never in the three years that I have
been reading this newsgroup have I ever read anything as patently
offensive as his remark.
I urge all of you to write this filthy vermin and express your outrage. I
also urge you to suggest that he take his lowlife, trash ass back to the
swamp where he oozed out of.

No, to connect/control the AR8000 by computer (including downloading
band plans), you need the interface. The Scout can reaction tune
the AR8000 and store freq hits it receives in memory.

I ran across this communications Receiver and cannot seem to find a

It took four weeks to get mine. You can call Joy(ce?) Allford at the

I believe it rides on the first 17 lines or so of the video carrier. A
poorly aligned TV sometimes shows "noise bars" at the top of the
screen. There is timing, network cueing, and datatext there.

It could be several things, but the most common errors are related to
setting mode and step size.
You can hear frequencies with the wrong mode set but they may sound odd.
I.e. mode setting is AM when it should have been NBFM or WBFM when it
should have been NBFM. Using the novice AUTO mode is a common source or
getting the wrong mode setting as the modes change depending on the area
of the world you are in. Some of the built in tables can be wrong for
your area.
Avoid using AUTO. Most public saftey is NBFM, air is AM etc.
The other really common problem is the person who programs a frequency
which the AR8000 scanner appears to take but the wrong step size has been
set for the frequency. There is a restriction in the programming logic
which indicates the step must be a 'factor' or of the given frequency.
Another way of saying that is to say the frequency must be a multiple of
the step. It is easy to program say the VHF fire frequencies which appear
every 15K with a step of 15k when 15k isn't a multiple of those VHF
frequencies. You must use something like 5K. You can prove this is the
problem by moving the memory channel to the second VFO by holding the
enter key down. Then turn the top knob away from the frequency and then
try to turn it back. If the step is wrong for that frequency you will not
be able to get that frequncy back by turning the dial. The CPU can not
tune that frequency using the step you had defaulted to in that case.
That means that though the display had what you had programed the scanner
for it was not receiving that frequeny but something close to it and the
sound will be off.
Be really safe and use a step size of .05K or 50 HZ , that is a factor of
any frequency the scanner will take. This is really important when you
blast a variety of widely different frequencies into the radio using the
computer interface. IMHO it is not worth the effort to calculate the
proper minimum step for those frequencies on a case by case or band by
band basis. I just about set every thing to 50 HZ and forget it.
You can create a simple text file like this
MXA00
MP0 ST000050
MXA01
MP0 ST000050
MXA02
MP0 ST000050
MXA03
MP0 ST000050
MXA04
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ etc....
Write that file to your scanner by sending it to your PC port at 9600
baud with a 200 ms delay between lines. It will set all your memory
locations to the samllest step and make them correct for the stored
frequency if needed. Use the auto increment function of EXCELL to
generate the MX~~~ memory locations with minimum effort. Use the
duplicate function of EXCELL to make a 1000 MP0 ST000050
instructions. Merge and use it. Or write a simple script for your
favorite communications program to do the same thing using loops etc.
Programing the AR8000 is a snap and you can make that chore as easy or as
complicated as you desire. Just follow the rules.
Also just before the batteries die in an AR8000 the VHF channels begin to
sound 'crappy'. This will occur before the AR8000 decides it is
running out of power and displays it's LOW BATTERY warning. Switch to
WBFM and listen to a broadcast station for a couple of minutes and kill
your nicads off completely so you can later recharge your nicads back to
maximum capacity.
I hope one of these above areas help you spot the source of the problem
and correct same so you may get on to enjoying your investment in the
AR8000.

Geeze - it *has* been a long time - I wouldn't trust my memory on exact
details, but as I recall it started on OC's red channel and stayed there
pretty much until the end (I could hear units on the input from my office
on campus). As I recall, LAPD was working in parallel on their freqs once
the pursuit dropped off the freeway and it was clear where they were
headed. As I recall, LAPD's stuff was divided between WLA and Tac 5.
There may have been a little traffic on some of the oddball tacs...
IMHO, the most memorable part was when OC's Control One relayed a message
from the CHP asking OC units to drop out of the pursuit [S.O.P. for freeway
pursuits] --- The ranking unit in the pursuit [I think it was a sgt from
sta 18, the SO] politely replied that the OC units would remain in pursuit,
and that the CHP units should drop out [apparently exercising a little-known
and seldom used clause in the mutual aid agreement whereby a local agency
may refuse CHP assistance at which time the CHP must withdraw].
OC has always had a discipline problem vis-a-vis RED. There is RED coverage
for the entire county, and all mobiles monitor RED at all times, in addition
to whatever channel the primary is set to. A common prank is to set someone's
primary to RED while they're code 7, so that they go 10-8 later for the
entire county to hear [and that is usually followed by a chorus of mic
scratches, raspberries etc...] The termination of a pursuit is often followed
by the same racket... the OJ pursuit was not any different. The pursuit was
interrupted once or twice by someone whining 'let OJ go', and when it wound
down there was the usual cacophony.
An attempt was made during the pursuit to keep the units appraised of what
was apparently going on inside the bronco - but none of that stands out in
my mind - I've heard much stranger things 8*(

This one has the most converage of DSS vs. Prime Star. Beware the group
should be called alt.grumpy.old-men or alt.literal.minded. Think 3 or 4
times before posting about what you're going to say. Your words can be
fed back to you in a manner that's not quite as pleasing as a politcal

Also there's several web pages on the matter. Both DSS and Primestar
have pages. Dump Direct TV and Primestar into your favorite search

Right on for getting it to work! FYI, I did NOT have the cable
removed. I did however have it replaced to see if that was the
problem.. It was then sent to Kenwood, and is at their shop now. $200
for the part ALONE. New control board. I had a friend look at it. She
had done work for NASA doing PC Boards. And she said she wouldn't have
touched it. One bajillionth of an inch, and your radio goes bye-bye.
Is opening up the frequnecy REALLY worth the risk?? I know, there's
probably a lot of people who have sucessfully completed the mod, and
just as many who had their radio fried. I unfortunately am one of the
latter.

you live so close to the airport, I don't think you will have any
trouble at all hearing the tower; and it is likely you will hear at least
some of the aircraft on your local approach/departure freqs as well.
Of course, a ducky is quite lossy at most any frequency; a little
ground plane mounted say in a window or on a porch (I think the lengths
are around 26 in or so) that could be removed when done may be a help
here...73s Mike

This is amazing!
[[[[ DELURKING ]]]]
Here's a firefight that reminds me of Quang Tri Province (and
considering the average age of a 'scannist,' many of you know where that
@(#^@*&!! place is).
There's no need to argue about Cheek --- the history is clear. He is
probably the most egotistical scanner guru around, and that
statement/judgement should satisfy his critics. However, I don't know
anyone more knowledgeable, so in my view most of that ego is earned.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The facts are simple: in my view, he's done more to enhance scanner
performance, for more people, for longer, than anyone else.
If you people would just recognize that (1) Cheek's got a big head, and
(2) he's pretty damn good, this little battle might subside.
Just two cents from a competing semi-guru, who goes to Bill to check
facts.

Do you know if there's a similiar upgrade/replacement for the Pro-51
speaker? Also, does anyone have any experience with the Grove Sound Center

Andrew,
Check out my review of the AR1500 at
http://www.designeq.com/AR1500review.html. This should answer your basic
questions. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for an AR1500.

Huh? I was under the impression that the video and audio carriers
were separate as video is amplitude modulated and audio is [wide]
frequecny modulated. I thought that the 6 MHz wide frequency area
was simply the portion of the spectrum used by the audio and video
frequencies when sitting side by side.

Thr current version only supports 512 bps. The transmissions in the
Netherlands are 512 bps. But it probably wouldnt be to difficult to add
1200, 2400 bps support. Sent me a sample recording of a 1200 or 2400 bps
transmission and I will check it out. (.wav file, sample rate 11.025 Hz, 8
bits, mono, sent the first 5 to 10 seconds of a transmission).

Hi all,
I have two BC140 scanners, modded to 16 channels(from the original
10)
They both are suffering from some kind of "morning sickness",eg, when you
turn them on,the display doesn't light up for ten to thirty seconds,
sometimes longer...
One of the scanners dislays an 'L' every time you turn it on.
Any help is appreciated -- feel free to email a response also. Don't point
me to the FAQ -- I've already checked it...

BOULDER, Colorado, Oct. 24 (RFWS News). A group calling itself The Radio
Free Wilderness Society announced plans to stop the use of portable
cellular telephones in the backcountry. The group plans to take several
actions including lobbying Congress to ban the use of "inappropriate
communication devices" (including cellular telephones) in national parks,
national forests and wilderness areas. This action is in response to the
increased use of portable telephones in remote wilderness areas.
A spokesperson for the society said "Cellular telephones are ruining the
backcountry experience for millions of outdoor enthusiasts. On a summer
day, it is very common to find multiple people making phone calls from the
most popular mountain summits. Worse yet, this new technology creates a
false sense of security on the part of inexperienced people in the
backcountry. One hiker I encountered in the backcountry did not have
proper clothing because he thought his cellphone was sufficient insurance
in case of bad weather. The park rangers aren't saying too much about it
but it is getting to be a real problem for them. People get into a tough
spot and expect a phone call to result in instant aid."
In addition to pushing Congress for portable phone restrictions on federal
land, the society has proposed the installation of jamming devices that
would prevent the use of cellular phones in certain wilderness areas.
Such jamming devices would be a violation of Federal Communications
Commission regulations. The society spokesperson said that they would only
install the devices near designated wilderness areas and national parks
and the devices would affect cellular telephone frequencies only. Two-way
radios used by national park, national forest and law enforcement
authorities would not be affected.

Thanks for the help. Do you know if there are any scanners that will
scan more than one broadcast at precisely the same time to avoid a
bank of scanners monitoring stations individually ?

Thanks for the info Jory. I was aware of an allocation in, I believe,
New Zealand, and possibly Australia, in this range - I believe about
100W RF into any antenna is allowed - but hadn't heard of a US
allocation. Over here we've just been allocated a small area around
73KHz - 1 watt ERP but I'd love to see someone measure it :-) and I'll
be interested to see what happens there.
BTW I use a Yupi 7100 and am quite pleased with it. A fair few more
sprogs than I'd have preferred but not bad withal. Needs a fair bit of
wire to get any results on long wave though. I'll be looking for a
dedicated LF Rx soon. Preferably all-valve. Perhaps even TRF. I suppose
if I flick the tuning up and down regularly you could call that a
scanner :-)

is for help from anyone who attends Chicago Bears home games that also
has a scanner. I am going to be at the Dec. 14 game in Soldiers Field,
and was wondering what frequency the quarterback receives the play calls
on. I looked in one book today, and it said 151.625...If anyone can

I'm looking for a vendor that sells a replacement power cable for the
MR8100. (From the molded connector to the loose ends). I can cut it
and put a new one in, but I'd just as soon have a new cable to move it
from car to car.
Local Uniden dealer (idiots) say that Uniden never sold such a scanner
and refuses to acknowledge the existence of my 8100. (I must have
applied a Uniden decal.....they actually told me this!)
Post or e-mail any help.
Thanks!

This is good advice, unfortunately, not many publishers do see it that
way. Few newspapers and magazines have clearly spelled out policies to
reimburse freelancers for their work if it is used electronically, on web
sites and so on. In my experience, you have to raise the subject with every
editor you deal with before accepting the assignment or otherwise there is
a presumption that what they're buying is theirs to do with as they want.
And then, some won't give you the assignment because of it.
For those who don't know, North American serial rights give them the right
to use your material in a magazine or newspaper once in North America. It
was fairly standard practice before electronic publishing really took off.

For my money, I'd get a Grove Scantenna everytime for scanning of
frequency bands as diverse as what you stated. I've had two - One was
destroyed in a 100+ mph windstorm.

Standard rubber duckies are good for one purpose only - picking up
strong/close locations. An extended whip is better. I've had a lot of
luck with an Austin Condor high gain whip. It's about 12 inches long
and 3/4 inch diameter so it looks a little funny but it works really
well over a large frequency range. 5 miles from the tower shouldn't be
too difficult to get the tower. One other solution is one of those
extended wire antennas that go in the attic or other out of the way
place. They aren't as good as an external but (like virtually anything)
are better than a duck.
Happy scanning

I just fixed the slow turn-on problem on my BC140 by re-soldering the
pads where the power socket mounts to the main board. Wasn't hard.
Actually, I just put up with the problem for the last few months, until
the radio reached the point it wouldn't turn on at all.

TRY THE VALOR "GLASS MASTER" MODEL TGS (THRU THE GLASS) SCANNER ANTENNA.
IT RESEMBLES A CELLULAR PHONE ANTENNA, AND THEY ARE VERY REASONABLY
PRICED AND EASY TO INSTALL.
WE INSTALLED THEM ON A FLEET OF "CKY TV NEWS HOUR" VANS A FEW MONTHS
AGO,(HERE IN WINNIPEG, MANITOBA) AND THE REPORTERS REALLY LIKE THEM.
THEY TOO ARE USING HAND-HELD SCANNERS.

Environmentalists gone wild. Jamming devices for cellphones in the
woods? I'd like to know what AT&T, McCaw, and other cell providers have
to say about that. Good luck lobbying Congress. The executive branch
may get Algore again but Congress will be solidly Republican ensuring
fringe groups stay on the fringe.

Nope. The TV channel is a contiguous envelope. The WFM
audio signal (along with all of the other "carriers") is a
subcarrier within the channel.

Why would anyone join the staff of US Scanner News when he can't pay the

The high pitch tone is something I've not stopped to look at, but the
reason that you sometimes only hear one person and sometimes both (at
varying levels of volume) is that cellphones use two transmit/receive
frequencies, one for the cell to the handset and one for the handset to
the cell, and in the same way you can hear yourself talk on a normal
telephone call, on a cellphone call there is a certain amount of audio
feedback into the cell's transmission to the handset, which varies with
how far away the handset is to the cell antenna, etc.
You would usually tune into the local cell, which carries much more
power and is more easily heard than the handset which delivers between 1
and 10 watts, thus always picking up the land-based speaker rather than
the handset owner. You could hear the owner as easily if you were near
his handset and tuned into his transmit frequency.

So you jam up the phones and let them die?! Why not use the money to
put up signs, or buy advertisements in the media to teach hikers instead
of jamming the frequencies? Do you really think that hiker mentioned
above would've refrained from going on his trip if he didn't have the

cheap Wal-Mart CB instead with the same expectations.

Radio Free Wilderness, huh? My brother-in-law would probably like to join
that group. We were in a market one day when he spied some lady pushing
her shopping cart and talking on her cellular phone. He was outraged! I
couldn't believe his anger! He said, "That's the stupidest thing I have
ever seen. I hate those cell phones!" I told him that maybe it looked
stupid to him, and maybe it looked stupid to me, but how was that lady
harming anyone? He didn't like that answer.
I hope these wilderness jerks didn't drive their cars to the spot where
they began their self-righteous hike.
Hmmmm. Wonder if they packed Charmin?

I'm relatively new to this group (and others :-)). Recently I took up
scanning out of pure interest in what that world was like. And now I
find that it's a really great hobby. I't has gotten me away from the
"to many and to late hours " in front of my computer (I might possibly
be a computernerd - and proud of that to). But In a little new family
I find that scanning actually fits the bill nicely.
Spend the best part of 10 years with a mean of 5 hours a day in front
of my computer :-) i now feel very happy with this "tech" stuff.
I have two major Q's and if anyone would like to give me their view I
would be very happy.
1:) My local Police Department have just almost entirely switched to
digital - as far as i know from the drop in trafic. Maybe (and almost
for sure ) the future is Digital. Where will the scanning be in, say
10 years ? Are there already a premature death to my newfound hobby ?
2:) I use a UBC3000xlt (an extremely good apparatus) but i would like
to buy either a sw reciewer OR a AOR8000 [ to extend the amount of
buttons i command :-) ] to compliment in some way my listening. I
might be inclined to get the 8K with a scout. But iI would like to
hear from somebody with a working combo in any of the abovementioned
gear.
Sorry if this letter is too long.
BTW. These groups are my favorites and a few of the regulars are in
higt regard's here on my little place in Denmark

Since this is cross-posted to two very different groups, I need to explain som
e
terms.
POCSAG is a common method of encoding alphanumeric radio pager
messages.
HP200LX is a palmtop computer that has an RS232 port, contains an
80186 processor and supports CGA graphics.
I have been trying to get POCSAG Decoder Version 2.03 to run on my HP200LX.
This shareware uses a simple/inexpensive circuit to convert the audio from a
radio into an RS232 input. If you tune the radio to the paging frequency,
and set up PD.EXE with your Pager's ID, you can receive your pages on your
computer. This works just fine on my desktop system.
I have built the circuit and have run it on my HP200LX using a portable
radio receiver. This configuration works well enough to decode the first
message. Unfortunately, it then issues the following message and the
HP200LX must be rebooted:
Internal Stack Overflow
System halted
Has anyone else run PD.EXE on their 200LX? If so, how did you get past this
problem?

Hey, now! I'm a card-carrying tree-hugger, and I think this is the
dumbest thing I've heard in a while!
Cell phones ruin the nature experience? Not nearly as much as dying of
hypothermia after falling and getting lost.

I'm sure it's coincidence, but my sound card flat-out died after trying
out Semasoft.
I think I overloaded the audio input while trying to get that little
bar graph to show *any* movement whatsoever.
Oh well, it was a lousy sound card to begin with. Some kind of off
brand that came with the computer (a GENUINE *JAZZ* 16!)

I have seen these radios advertised. the're pretty expensive just for
family communications. I dont see why anyone would pay so mutch for a
radio with only 14 channels and just 1/2 watt of power. Good quality
handheld CB radios can be found for around $70-$80 on sale. They have
40 channels and 4 watts of power. I have a near top of the line maxon
handheld and often talk to people around 10 miles away(from portland
to oregon city).
BTW: are FRS radios AM or FM?

Well make sure you use the LINE input on your new soundcard. Also,
make sure you choose LINE as the recording source. If it's set to
anything else, you won't get squat, except another blown card. Double
click on the speaker symbol in Win95 to get to the Volume Settings, then
OPTIONS, PROPERTIES, RECORDING.

Has anyone figured out how to replace the backlight on the freguency

be replaced also. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

None that I am aware of yet, it is something that would nicely
compliment the Cyberpark's Chicago area air traffic control site
at http://www.cyberair.com/audio/index.html or the Dallas police
site at http://www.audionet.com/radio/dallaspd/.
But for now it is possible for rail enthusiasts to share the same
scanner audio over the net using a simple net phone program
such as Internet Phone or Speak Freely, All that is needed is a
line out from your scanner's speaker or recorder jack into your
sound card's line input. The net phone program allows voice
activated transmissions (VOX) and some sound cards support two
way transmissions in full duplex. This way you could send
Conrail Road Ch. 1 from New Jersey to your buddy listening in
California and he could be feeding you SP/UP PBX. You will both
hear each others scanner audio in near real time.
If any rail oriented scannist's would like to discuss this
further or give it a try if you are equipped to send or receive
audio, please respond via email with your software/hardware
configuration, location and railroads monitored. My reception
area covers the NY/NJ metro area and my monitoring interests are
not limited to rail traffic, so feel free to write if you want to
try the above using another radio service.
Regards,
-Charlie-

So, I'm hiking in the wilderness with 3 friends. One of us gets severe
heat stroke, and can't breath. And I whip out my cell phone and dial
911. What, no signal? Oh well, my friend just died because "We want to
protect the wilderness. No cell phones."
If this passes, I guarantee someone will either die, or come close
before they lift it.. But does it have to be that way?

Dana,
Sorry But no mods to get the ORIGINAL 800mhz cell band back, BUT you can
search the 1005-1030Mhz range in 5Khz steps and Surprise!! (Not that I
have ever listened, because that would be Illegal under ECPA 1986 and
everybody knows that was one of the Most senisible and Thought through
laws ever put on paper...NOT!!!) You will hear the Harmonic of the
original range...The only other option is to get a UBC3000xlt from over
seas that is full coverage...OR waste money getting a downconverter...Hope
this helps!!!

With the opening of the second east-west runway, the ground and
takeoff/landing control frequencies have been split into north
and south control areas. The frequencies are as follows:
Tower South - runway 08R/26L 118.70 MHz
Tower North - runway 08L/26R 119.55 MHz (New runway)
Tower 226.50 MHz
Ground South 121.70 MHz
Ground North 127.15 MHz
Ground 275.80 MHz
Some Additional Frequencies:
ATIS 124.60 MHz
Departure 120.50 MHz
Arrival 124.00 MHz
Clearance Delivery 121.40 MHz
The lengths of the runways are 11,000 feet for the original runway
(08R/26L) runway and 9,940 feet for the new runway (08L/26R).
The first planned landing on the new runway is scheduled for 0930 PST
Monday, November 4, 1996 and the plane will be a Boeing 777.
The plan for the first six months is to use the new runway for all
landings and the original runway for all takeoffs.

Its funny to constantly read letters about people wanting to listen to
mobile phones. I live in Australia where our scanners cover everything
with no blocked out bands. I do not listen to mobiles though even though
Ive got what a lot of people want.

I do occasionally monitor cordless and cellular bands....I also let people
hknow who i see with cellular phones that their conversations on these
things are NOT PRIVATE....I sometimes will find a cell call and let them
listen to prove my point...
I always caution people NOT to give out any SENSITIVE information over a
cell or cordless phone you don't want anyone else to know....ie credit
card numbers...
If I were to monitor someone making a credit card purchase, I could have
all the info I needed (their name, address, and Credit casrd number) to
put charges on their card.....
I always do such transactions from a LAND LINE or offer to call back later
from a more secure means of communication....

try searching the 225-400 area for ATC and dispatch communications
148-150 and 162-171 will give you some ground operationsie fire/maint
frequencies...you may also get some paging and operations activity in the
406-420mhz area....also lets not forget the 118-136 ATC band!
you can usually find an ATIS frequency..once you find this, it will tell
you other frequencies in use!

However, beware that Discones are notoriously bad on VHF low band (30 -
50 MHz) frequencies unless you either purchase one that has the long
vertical element or else make the mod yourself. It all depends on your
needs. I've tried about every antenna out there and the discone was
O.K. except that it sucked on low band (which is what about every rural
fire department in this part of New York State uses). I still have it
but have relegated it to my 2m/70 cm ham rig. It works great for
transmitting 1.1:1 SWR.

Its still a free country! And if he want's to have fun and investagate
what's happening in and around Area-51, that's his right! After all it was
his, yours and my tax money that has been used to develop Area-51, so don't
you think he has a right to see what his money is being spent on? I do and
applode his actions.
Stop the bleeding hearts and take back America!

1. Is it ethical? I don't know, by whose definition shall we go?
2. Should it be illegal? This is something I hear a lot of discussion
about with a lot of varying views. Most all of which are a lot of
wasted words. Simply put, a law which is unenforceable is a BAD LAW.
We already have too many of these on the books in the United States.
Fine if congress wants a law prohibiting manufacturers from making and
selling scanning equipment from receiving certain frequencies. But to
carry that further and attempt to control what direction a hobbyist
takes in his thinking and tinkering as concerns a passive reception
device is absurd. People who write such laws are absurd and are
wasting public time and money. Find a better use for your time, catch
those people actively engaging in acts which physically hurt others.
You know... theft, burglary, credit card ripoff, etc.
3. If it is broadcast...it will be received.
4. As an old retired Navy man I will tell you this, when we wanted
absolutely NO ONE to intercept a broadcast, we didn't broadcast.
SIMPLE.

Keep this in mind, the store or office you are calling may be on a
cordless headset. I've monitored Office Depot employees answering calls
from customers. And recently, we've read posts from Toys 'R Us
monitors. Don't assume all of your conversation is "off-the-air", use
fax for more security.

The old CompuScan 2100 was designed to run with a Commodore 64
using an RS-232 port.
It was furnished with the receiver, cables, and software, and
had a 200 channel capacity.
For a complete review, see "CompuScan/2100 Bearcat Scanning
Receiver," by Joe Desposito, in Jan. 1984 Computers & Electronics

I was wondering if anyone with the AR2700 found that it was not sensitive
enough to pick up weaker signals when scanning the preprogrammed channels?
The poice in my area use about 8 freqs in the 860Mhz range. Their signals are
not strong, and one channel is used for data, so is in constant use. The
AR2700, when scanning, will even skip this data channel. My older scanner, a
Pro51, picked up all of these channels, the only problem was that cell phones
would run over some transmissions, not a problem with the AR 2700.
Does the AR2700 require a stronger signal to to break the squelch? If so, how
can I lower the threshold, or increase the signal strength (pre-amp?). Would
a pre-amp help?
Or, is this a result of the triple conversion the AR use versus the doble the
Pro51 uses?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hallo belangstellenden,
Mijn naam is Jan, ik beheer de Scanner Homepage Nederland op URL

Wegens het grote succes van mijn pagina's ben ik door Planet Internet
afgesloten!!! Mijn pagina's genereren teveel dataverkeer, dus draait
PI de kraan dicht.
Nu is er een eenvoudige oplossing, ik ga zelf een domeinnaam aanvragen
en daar de pagina's publiceren. Hiermee worden mijn mogelijkheden ook
erg uitgebreid!
Hier heb ik SPONSORS voor nodig. Ik lever u de lezers voor uw wervende
teksten/links enzovoorts, alles is mogelijk. Ik heb ook een
uitgebreide ledenlijst voor mijn Scanner Mailinglist, allemaal scanner
fanaten! (Mailinglist leden hoeven niet ongerust te zijn, uw email

I seriously doubt it, besides Al Cowlings *called* the cops.
I listened to the chase, not only on the CHP frequency, but on the Media
frequencies as well which was a lot more interesting than "Northbound at
Imperial<beep>......Northbound at Manchester, 40 mph number 1 lane
<beep>...." However, the CHP and LAPD were going to Rockingham well ahead
of the chase, I remember LAPD telling units to go there, and also to not
get involved in the chase.
But the media frequencies were great, all the live trucks trying to get
to overpases to shoot the chase, the 7 or so media helicopters flying
overhead, crews being sent to Rockingham and Bundy, actually the whole
day was fun to listen to, especially when everyone descended on Bundy in
the early afternoon, almost every media outlet figured they were going to
find OJ's body in the condo.
The best part of the thing though was when OJ didn't show up like he was
supposed to in the morning, they put out an APB for him, and I actually
heard it on both CHP and LAPD "All units, Officer Saftey Broadcast, 187
suspect at large, Orenthal James Simpson, Black Male, 6'2", 240 pounds,
possible armed and dangerous, all information LAPD central division."

For the most part, most of us aren't really interested in listening -
just being capable of it. It is really a subtle form of civil
disobedience - disobeying a stupid, largely unenforceable law which gives
cell phone dealers the opportunity to "guarantee" privacy, rather than
having to admit to the customer that their phones are unsecure (and risk
losing a sale). Believe me, if they never passed that moronic law, it
would not be an issue. And the majority of us would still not listen in....

- Like New (and I *know* what "Like New" means!)
- Full wide-range receiver (500KHz - 1300Mhz)
- 1000 Memories, 10 Search Banks
- Unblocked cellular

Howard Bornstein's "Guide to the AR1000" book
Leather case with keyboard cover
NiCad AA's

This unit has never left my house, it was only used for listening to the
local action. It's a fantastic unit, great in every way. The only
reason I'm passing it on is due to the recent purchase of an AR8000!
If someone wants a full-range unblocked scanner that looks brand new,
this is a great unit at a very good price (check the net!). The included
book takes all the mystery out of programming, great for beginners.
Sorry, no trades at this time, I had to pull the kids out of college to
pay for the AR8000! (smile).

Actually you may not have caught it, but LA Times mentioned that the police
had worked with Cellular One (or was it GTE?) and not only heard his cell
conversations but transcribed them. Of course it wasn't admissable for
whatever reason but amusingly enough in some exerpts when he was talking
to his mom he says "I DID IT MOM!" while sobbing.
Big suprise, huh?
I was shocked at how easily he cell company worked with the cops and was
suprised that the paper didn't make more out of it.

This is so insane. I too think it makes people look like idiots, I've
even seen people riding bicycles using them. However, I'll look at
a million idiots using them if it saves one person who gets into a bad
spot in the woods.
The logic sounds like the anti-gun groups: Make guns against the law so
the proverbial "bad guys" don't have them. Even as a non-gun-owner myself,
I know that logic like that is asnine. I've never feared legal gun
owners, bad guys are going to have them regardless -- let them wonder if
the next house they break into is going to have someone with heat!
If this Environmental group wanted the one-in-a-million chance at doing
something about it they should have changed the marketing: Instead of all
this blocking crap, install park-owned cell towers located in key
locations that cover the A and B channels so that any call you make will
just get routed to the Park Rangers or 911. Emergencies get through
and Aunt Marge is just gonna have to wait until later to hear about how much
fun you and the kids and having. Put up a few signs explaining to people
how cell phone calls are routed for emergency calls only.
I can see some benefits of allowing cell use in the really wild areas -
most people aren't gonna plunk down the money for a used-once-a-year
handheld radio, CB is big and dated and often useless. Cell is cheap,
portable, multi-use.
Just turn the thing off when not in use, if I heard one more ring during
a movie at the theater, they will feel the wrath of my Large Diet Coke
and Huge Popcorn coming down.
This group would better off posting some signs about how cell phones
should be for "emergency use only" for the enjoyment of everyone
outdoors. People are still going to use them but it may notify a few
of the cluless that it isn't always appropriate.

would like to trade a very nice PRO-62 hand held scanner for any one of
the following in equally very nice shape: PRO-51; PRO-43; PRO-39; PRO-2004.
(or what have you in those lines?)
The PRO-62 is 200 channels and tripple conversion. It is cell blocked and
from what I understand, there is not a quick remedy to that except for the
use of a converter. I have a converter which is not part of this offer, but
could be worked in if what is offered by you in trade would dictate that.
If interested, Please e-mail me.

I found the insensitive squelch was a serious problem with the
particular AOR AR2700 I tested for Monitoring Times and
pointed it out in a 10/95 MT review.
Also, from the "Buying a Used Scanner FAQ:"
AR2700: 1995 vintage. 500 channel portable covering 500 kHz
to 1300 MHz. Lots of good features, e.g., 10 linkable
search banks, lighted keypad, per-channel attenuator, S-
meter, battery meter, optional voice recorder and speech
inversion descrambler. Global rescan and pause delays, but
no auto store, data skip, nor battery saver. Internally
generated noise results in broad birdies on AR2700 tested.
Insensitive carrier operated (vs. noise operated) squelch
stays closed on signals unless they are moderately strong,

1. Remove battery
2. Remove the Ni-Cd sticker
3. Slowly lift off the keypad and carefully locate the jumper pads
4. Locate and unsolder jumper number "1" (see picture below) it is a solder bl
ob
between 2 pads.
5. Locate and unsolder surface mount resistor "A" (see picture below) be caref
ul!
It is the first resistor on the from left
6. Reinstall the keypad with the two screws
7. Turn radio off
8. Press down and hold the tuning knob and lamp button while turning on the
radio.

10. The vfo should display 144.000 Press FW. (this step may not be needed but
it worked for me)
Power off.
11. Powerup with lamp/ptt/knob held down. It should now be in tune mode with s
omething new
(BAND= A 1) change it pressing the knob for 1/2 second and then turn the k
nob to FREE.
(BAND=FREE)
12. Power off and back on NOW RADIO DISPLAYS 50~540 590~1000 no gaps!!!
(Dont change any other function or you could screw up alot of adjustments
here)
IT will tx where ever it locks. One radio 122~231 and 309~502 and another
radio was
120-232mhz and 315-509mhz. This varies radio by radio.
Tx is only miliwatts near the edges (DONT TX OUT OF BAND!!!).
Rx locks after about 74mhz. it is very deaf in the 220 band tx is miliwatt
s. no tx above 502
but varies radio by radio.
13. If you have the ADMS 1 software you should have a copy of what was in your
radio.before you
started.
14. Copy from the radio. Save and name this file FREEBAND. This is to be saved
as a clean copy for
future use.
15. Copy from the radio again (or just copy the file) name this file MERGE.
16. Merge the old file to this file and send to radio.
17. With your palms facing forward put your thumbs in your ears, wiggle your f
ingers and stick
out your tongue at your Users manual while it is open to page 10.
18. Then update page 10.
Dont make the FCC and Yaesu angry at you by transmitting where you are not sup
posed to.
This information came from a Newsgroup message by Alan Judd, information gaine
d from the Web Page at
http://members.gnn.com/hca/ft50/index.htm and my own attempts at restoring the
radio using this
FREEBAND Mod.
Please give Alan Judd great thanks for subjecting his radio to T&E R&D (trial
and error research and
development).

My area of the California High Desert is rich in RF "stuff". We
get a lot of stuff from San Bernardino County, Kern and etc. and
even Death Valley.
I just heard something new. Can someone tell me what they think it
is? On 140.9500, the following conversation (one side only) heard
on Sunday, at about Noon. PST
"Dragnet one and all other responding agencies, be advised, you
should wear your green apron, , , Be advised, wear the green
apron"
Just prior to this, the same voice was "calling all units", on the
same freq.
Now, the 140 mHz is the gumamint. But WHO?? They evidently had
something BiiG going down.

You may want to try to search on the WEB. There are several folks who
post frequencies. Try going to Yahoo, then to Entertainment, then to
Amateur Radio and there should be something there.

Typical worldnet.att. user, eh?This isn't a SCANNER, it's a receiver.
It's not meant to SCAN fast. It does 25 - 1.3? straight, no blocks,
It's a high quality receiver, and well worth the $1k.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency just replaced their analog VHF
radio
system with Motorola "Astro" operating on the same freqs. Consequently, I
am
now unable to monitor. Any info on this system? Would another Astro
mobile
hear them or are the comms. encrypted as well as digitized? How is it
able to
communicate with other agencies that are still analog? Thanks for any
info.

I'd be interested in a copy of this to try on a P-120 Laptop.. For the
HP, if you can/have a config.sys file, type EDIT C:\CONFIG.SYS, and
change the STACKS= line in there. Increase it, my guess would be to
STACKS=4,200
Let me know if this works..

Careful with them; you probably don't have a license to transmit there,
and you need a Tech or higher license for the Ramsey crap.
If the Xandi one is like the Ramsey FM-6, be very careful. It has *NO*
output filtering, and puts out spurs all over the place (every 12 MHz up
and down from the carrier and its harmonics) - assembled according to
their instructions, it is ILLEGAL to use, even with the appropriate
license.
(Note. I haven't seen the Xandi other than in their ads. When I called
and asked whether they made them on frequencies that hams are allowed to
transmit on, they trotted out the old "anyone can transmit anywhere under
100 mW" story that Nick Goss used to use. That was the old rule for the
FM broadcast band; it's now based in field strength at a certain distance
from the antenna.)
If you do have a ham license, and a *valid* use for the transmitter (no,
bugging a room won't do), look at Agrelo Engineering's transmitters. They
are great for telemetry, APRS, foxes, etc. All they need is a battery and
an ID'er (he sells voice IDers for foxes also), and they are well made,
and meet the FCC's emissions specs.

I was told that I could wrap one end of just a plain 10 ft. long wire
around my $10 scanner antenna, and the other end of the regular wire
around a bolt anywhere along my tv antenna cable coming down from the
attic. There are bolts on the cable right when the cable comes out of
the wall. If I wrap the other end of this regular wire around the bolt,
will it improve my reception? Won't the tv antenna help me out greatly?
Also, I was told that the small hole section of a wall outlet is just a
ground, and it too could be used as an antenna (if you put the end of the
wire in the hole section of the outlet). Does anyone know anything about
this? I don't want to burn anything down or blow anything up.
Thanks in advance.

I've had an AR3000A for about 5 years, has been quite good. Here
is a review I did a few years ago...
From 1991: This is an evaluation of the AOR AR-3000A. I have owned the
unit for two years now.
The unit is pretty solid. It has a plastic case but it has held up
quite well. I have traveled with it to many locations. I have never
dropped it though. I did wear out the BNC connector on the back of
the unit. I replaced it myself - no problem. Easy solder job. The only
mod (not really mod) I have made is to change the serial port bps rate
from 4800 to 9600. That is done by flipping one of the internal switches.
ACE seems to still advertise the AR3000. I don't think it has been
offered for the past 1.5 years! These are the major differences between
the AR3000 and AR3000A:
1. The 6 LEDs to the left of the LCD panel have been integrated
into the LCD
2. There are two additonal buttons to the right of the LCD, one
speeds up the scan rate of the manual tuning knob, and the
other one multiplies the current step rate by 10.
3. The RS232 com port has additonal commands (but I don't know what
they are yet as ACE (the distributer in the US) hasn't released
the new manual yet! I asked about a half dozen times and finally
gave up. Anyone that has a list of what you can do, I would
appreciate posting them!
The unit is quite expensive and the prices seems to have gone up
in the past two years, probably due to the falling US dollar. I wanted
something that could receive just about everything, that I could
connect to my computer and something that was portable. The [ACE] ad was
bit misleading, because it lists a adapter/charger as standard, but the
unit DOES NOT run on batteries. I did not purchase through ACE as their
price was as high as it could go [suggested list price].
The unit comes standard with a whip, which is useless below about
5MHz.
I bought at 56" whip and a 800MHz whip that work better. The unit
locked up twice on me the first week I had it, but hasn't done it
since (and that was two years ago). Of course all programming is done
via the serial port.
Performace. I don't have another scanner to compare the AR3000A to,
but I can compare it to my SuperRadio, "typical" TVs, Sangean ATS-808.
I will say this right off the bat: The 6kHz
filter that is used for AM and NFM is terrible. I would upgrade this
filter except that places like EEB want over $300 for it. Plus I'm
not sure if it would be good for NFM. Both modes use the same filter
and you can't change that.
LW/MW: Performance is terrible. I have tried long wires,
short wires, and even a homemade loop. I didn't expect it to perform
that well. But my ATS-808 can beat it hands tied behind its back!
The ATS-808 is ok for MW, but the Superradio is hands down the winner
by about 10x!
SW: Sensitivity improves around 7MhZ. Below that, not very
good. For instance I can not get WWV on 2.5 Mhz, but it comes in
fair on the ATS-808. LSB/USB works well.
VHF/UHF: Sensitivity is good. Selectivity in WFM mode is poor. Very
prone to overload on the FM broadcast band. In NFM things are better, but
I think the replacement filter would be a big help. When tuning a Ham
repeater, for instance, it is very difficult to determine the exact
frequency, even though the AR3000A tunes down to 500Hz steps!
But, overall, I am happy with the unit. Even today, there is not
much else in the size/coverage/price.

Not any that I know of that are directly paid for listening, but
various news agencies and independants, especially photogs (there are
a few here), rely heavily on scanner traffic to "beat the
competition".
There are also "professionals" of many other bodies that use scanners
extensively, although not necessarily directly related to their
profession. Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, PI's, Racers of all sorts,
etc.

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

Drew is giving Florida a bad name. You might recall he used to sign
with "Drew in Charlotte". So he was making North Carolina look bad
before moving to the Geritol state.
It appears that like many from the hills of NC, Drew's family tree
doesn't fork.

What's the going rate these days for a GMRS license? It used to be $35,
but I'm sure it's gone up by now...also, how long is the license good for?
5 years?

You may remember me posting a few questions previously ...
Well, now I've gone and done it ... :-)
1) Installed the Scout Port Mod
- I used the instructions located at
http://www.mv.com/users.wje/jack_howto.html
- Also used some great email ASCII art from
csmith1@CCGATE.HAC.COM (Thanks)
2) I continuity checked the connections with a BLANK 3.5mm jack
plugged into the port before re-assembling ... only the proper
connections, no shorts.
3) Constructed the level translator PC interface
- Tried both
http://www.hollis.co.uk/john/ar8000sl.html (resistor / zener)
http://www.mv.com/users/wje/rs2322.html (dual transistor)
- Also tried the 9vdc power supply modification suggested by
John - R2D2 <rtwodtwo@cwnet.com>
4) Used the terminal parameters supplied by 1 above ...
9600 baud, 8 bits, No Parity, 2 stop bits
Tried both upper and lower case.
The scanner works perfectly well as long as I don't plug into the
scanner.
The I/F won't work!!! In all cases, the AR2700 display indicates
"SERIAL" when I plug in the cable BUT nothing else happens. I have to
cycle the power in order to get control back to the key pad ... while
removing the serial cable.
I'm also using the AR8000 command reference, I haven't seen any
commands specific to the AR2700. I did try the demo "ScannerWEAR
SoftControl 2.0 Demo" which came with my scanner ... still no go,
it just times out and asks me if the scanner is connected!
Has any one else had any experience with doing this mod themselves?
Any input, ideas, criticism, ready humor to throw some light on this
problem???
Thanks in advance!!!

Anybody hear of this?
My daughter saw an ad on TV for a device that looked like a
cellular phone but appeared to work like a two-way radio. It
appeared in the ad (she had it on tape and showed it to me)
that several people in an area could hear whatever one person
would say on the handheld transcievers. They said things like
"no phone bills" and so forth. It looked like a mini-walkie-talkie
of some sort. Anybody seen these, or even the ads? - Dave

Maybe we should give Drew the benefit of the doubt and assume that he

Basically they have caused their own demise if they do go under.
They spread themselves too thin in coming out with their "CB" and CQ VHF
publications. Looks like they were willing to gamble on cashing in on
the burgeoning CB "craze" and on the popularity of VHF/UHF due to the
increasing numbers of No-code Technicians. Additionally, their PopComm
mag is becoming increasingly full of lame articles and terribly outdated
articles.
What it comes down to is this...They were trying to please too many
people at the same time and pad their pockets in the process. They lost.

It all depends what you want to do with it. Most scanners today I

Someone asked if USSS E/F was still working and it appears so. I caught a
conversation between Hillary (On board Exec 1 Fox) making an appointment
for a pedicure and manicure. The whole conversation lasted maybe 5
minutes and also took about 5 minutes for the comm guys to get everything
set. Only caught traffic on the downlink (415.7). They talked to Crown 13.
Time was approx 13:15 Pacific and she had just taken off from Corvallis,
Or (CVO). Didn't catch a tail number but it was a DC-9 painted up in the
typical United States of America scheme.
Also caught the following codenames during her visit here.

To the questioneer of the minute!
What scanning equipment the pro's use is usually anyone
who uses info gleaned from the info given for any gain.
Money....facts for an article or for a book.
Non-monetary would be listening for things heard by agencies
that impact upon a community's well-being....adversely so.
An early warning system so to speak.
Fire depts use scanners to listen to other fire depts.
This gives them an edge when mutual aid is called. They
are ready by the time the M.A. calls go out.
CHP listens to the police depts which they cruise through
so as to know when chases begin or bank robberies occur or
kidnappings, etc. Most Chippy's have a MR8100 in their
cruiser.
The dispatcher's office in Antioch and San Fran also have
them...for similar reasons.
Police depts use them....to monitor neighboring police depts
to know same as CHP does.....to be forewarned.
This is what the PRO"s use as intended. But Pro also means
newspapers and tv stations and professional cameramen/women
wh0o do freelance breaking news. They all depend on the
scanners.
I'm a pro videographer who chases breaking news events. I am
also a still photographer who occasionally brings out my 35mm's
for the unusual photo to sell to newspapers.
But there are other ways I earn money with a scanner. And for
this I get paid for what I hear geared to the client I hear it
for...
That is what is meant by the pro's use of. Whether or not that
is true based on the ad's message...only the client who pays to
run that ad will know how it works for them....
I really don't know what they mean by PRO equipment....amateurs
who listen to scanners for fun use the same stuff as I do. Some
have better stuff than I do...but then too, I base my inventory
used on what I need it to do for me for what I want when it is
breaking.
I have nine scanners at my base and five in my car. Plus about
eight others that are collecting dust. Have been doing it for
many years....new models come out and are better and so they old ones
get laid off.
The pro's are the users who get paid for the results they hear
and the use to which they are applying it towards....
the rest is all HYPE. After all, there are only three or four
makers of PRO equipment used by Both PRO and Non-pro.
What is also nice about scanners is that they allow video used
today by the media to be bought years later for re=use by new tv
video feature series...like Real TV. Just sold a past video
for use again...so it's kind of residual income.
A lot of my video was sent to a Video Clip House and I get checks
when ever that video is used by one of their clients.
That is how this pro gets paid using a bevvy of scanners.....
It also enabled me to write a book based on my news activity and
got me speaking engagements and more. Plus some other projects I
am working on .... all because of a scanner.
And because of those scanners I have had two major newspapers do
stories on my still photography news activity and tv news
activity.

I have a question:
I would like to get a 1v p-p a.c. signal (audio chain output) for
recording purposes. I have the following model of scanner:
RS PRO-2022 programmable...
Also, I would like to increase squelch sensitivity (decrease time lag
between signal detect and actual audio output).

True. I was mentally grouping them as weak signals, which was not
germane to the point. Thanks for the correction.

For $35.00 they'll sell you a new pack, your best option. The
battery mod did zip for my unit. At 6 years old I have had it
overhauled by U... twice. They sent me new units for $55.00.
You can't beat that.

The scout connects to the 8000 Via a mini plug style connector. If you
buy both of these from the same store, chances are they have installed
this connector on the aor 8000 for you.
However, if you want to use your 8000 with your pc, you need to buy the
cable that hooks it up to your pc's 25pin parallel port, via a small
card style connectort located just under the battery tray (you have to
open the door to see it).

I have an Autin antenna called the Condor (looks silly). There is
another antenna that they make called the Spectra. It is a magnetic
mount, and works EXCELLENT. I do not currently own one, but have seen,
tried it out, and heard great reviews. The only thing is that it is
about $70.

Too bad ... Tonight for some reason I received the Siberian
189 kHz station both on my 1937 Stromberg-Carlson 12 - tube
and a R-9000. Not well enough to ID directly, but there is
only one asian station listed on 189, and it is broadcasting
Russian music....
I've logged beacons as far away as Roswell. Must have something to
do with the Greys...

Mike,
I've had mine for about 3 years now. I really like it but the
manual sucks. Whoever wrote it must not get out much. I've traveled
with it and have had no problems. Reception is very good. Works fairly
well with the serial interface, but I understand you can up the port
speed with a dip switch inside. Haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
I think you will be happy with it if you can sort out the manual.

Yes it appears so but you do not need the ADMS software for the full

I am about to buy a new scanner and connot make my mind up betweent the
Yupiteru and AOR.
Once up-on a time, the AOR was much more expensive than the 7100 so the
choice was easy.
Now the AOR is only 50 UK pounds more...
Does anyone have any recommendations.

I am selling my Message Tracker Pro paging decoder program which
decodes Pocsag & Golay (numeric & alphanumeric) messages from your
scanner.
Includes: * Program on floppy disk
* Users's Manual
* Serial Interface Adapter (from computer to scanner)
This "Pro" version allows you to capture all messages from the
frequency you are monitoring. You can also monitor specific capcodes
only, instead of receiving everything.
Many features.
Price is $100.00 - I'll pay first class mail/Insured.
Originally cost $239.00. Must sell because of interference from local
cell and two way repeaters 700 feet from my home.

Actually, closed captioning is in the Vertical Interval of the video,
along with other data, Time Code, videotext, network messages. As
stated, the 6mHz tv signal you recieve is made up of many subcarriers.
The video is AM and has sidebands for color, sound is FM and is mixed
into the entire 6mHz envelope, it also has a pilot subcarrier for stereo
where applicable.

Dr. Pepper,
They're on to you! WHO is that damn Rob character who wants to spend your
money to save the world and feed the homeless. He spilled the beans to the
ATFS and now you're in for it! (Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Scanners) The
green aprons you talk about are RF shielded smocks they wear to fend off the
harmful RF radiation you put off when you scan their transmissions.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

PS: Is the ATFS really that far off? Is it really that far fetched? Here in

cellular programming information. So what? Does that mean the shack droids

I've had a lot of
>luck with an Austin Condor high gain whip. It's about 12 inches long
>and 3/4 inch diameter
I put together a Ramsey aircraft monitor radio a while ago and they said the
ideal length for a whip would be about 21 inches for the aircraft band
although any whip of any sort would be better than a rubber ducky.
5 miles from the tower shouldn't be too difficult to get the tower.
No, it shouldn't. Unless there is a large hill blocking your line of sight
from the airport, you should be able to get it easily. You could even try a
mobile scanning antenna in your attic. I have an old mag mount cellular
antenna in my attic right now to listen to cell phones on. I stuck it on top
of an old computer case so it had some ground plane to grab on to. You could
either do this, or stick it to the top of a fridge if you have the roof space
above the fridge to allow the antenna to stick up completely. It's not ideal,
but it will do better than your rubber ducky. I have no antenna regulations
here even though we rent. My landlord says I could put up an antenna on the
tower that is beside the house. (I got lucky when my wife found the house)
EXCEPT, the tower is not bolted to the house in any way. At the top, I get
too damn scared that the tower is going to fall away as I go over the roof
line so I haven't put anything outside. (I'm about 230 lbs) Nice situation
huh? I think I have it solved. I recently stopped at a truck stop and picked
up two nylon tie down things that truckers use to hold the loads down. I'm
going to attach those to the tower through the attic windows (there are two)
and around the chimney inside the attic. This will be ok if I don't pull the
whole damn house down with me.

To all the politically-correct "thought police" types who have chosen to
comment on my use of the term "black animals"...
What do YOU call "people" who riot, loot, burn, pillage, and
intentionally destroy the property of others? Especially when they
target the property of other racial groups (whites and Asians) and leave
intact the property of their own race (blacks)
I call them "ANIMALS"
Since the race of the perpetrators involved in this particular incident
happens to be 100% BLACK (Oh, I'm sorry..."African-American" for all you
pointy-head PC-types), I would suggest that "BLACK ANIMALS" is therefore
a very accurately-descriptive term.

Now that you mention it, I don't like them either. But my only gripe with
them is when idiots talk on them while they are driving and don't pay
attention to what the heck they are doing. Yes, I can see how backpackers
would use the phone as too much of a lifeline and not realize that a
flip-phone won't transmit 20 some odd miles to the nearest tower unless they
are at the top of the mountain with a clean line of sight. Bag phones with a
good battery are a necessity in this instance. BUT, it is not difficult to
jam a cell tower! The cell tower scans the channels for open ones to put a
call on when it receives a request for a dial tone. If it finds no open
channels, It's dead in the water. Any signal generator that covers those
frequencies placed at the base of the tower would do in that tower pretty
quickly. Even more precise would be to jam out the paging channels. Maybe
somebody should call AT&T and tell them about those posey sniffin nuts who
plan to deprive them of their bread and butter.

David,
I bought a RS(Made by GRE) scanner preamp for about $65.00. It is pretty nice
.
It's small but is pretty effective. Makes distant noisy channels clear.
I suggest it. I knew I was not returning tTHIS RS product whenever I turned
the dial from min->max and watched the strength of the signal on my radio go
from 1 to 2 to 7 or 9.

I have found the null modem adapter is required if you use the
standard DB-9 to DB-9 cable (typical cable required for todays PCs). You
MUST ensure pins 2 & 3 are exchanged for proper communication between
computer and MR-8100. Some cables may already have these pins reversed;
thus the confusion. Older computers which have the DB-25 serial
connector may not need the null modem (mine didn't).

I recently installed the Semasoft program and I receive no data when
monitoring ... all I get is a "PREAMBLE" comment at the top of the screen.
I have read that others have had the same problem.
Does anyone have any comments or a solution.

The original thread was started by RFWS@aol.com - I would assume that the
RFWS stood for Radio Free Wilderness whatever... the very organization
which wants them banned. If it is *not* a prank, I would assume that
they posted their news release to guage public opinion before they start
lobbying...
Well, you got it folks....

Not having run this specific software, the first thing I would make
sure of is that I have a STACKS= statement in my CONFIG.SYS.
I generally (and quickly checking my HP100, this is what I have on both
the A: and C: CONFIG.SYS's) use STACKS=10,256.

I am interested. Tell me, does the scanner need mod to except PC cable,
and do you need to know the freq that the pager is on to monitor
activity.

An automated radio transmitter must identify itself periodically by law.
These machines do it via morse code as it is simple to implement and
those interested in tracking down a transmitter that may be misbehaving
can read morse code. Morse code ids do not bother normal radio traffic.
I do not know the answer to your other question.

There's Foothill Fire Dispatch which dispacthes all the small fire Depts
in the Foothill area of the San Gabriel Valley, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, El
Monte on 154.370, and 154.070 is used by Covina and La Verne, although I
think La Verne has gone to 400mhz of late. Each department has specific
unit numbers, Sierra Madre for instance has all it's units in the 40s,
while Acradia has different numbers which I don't have in front of me at
the moment.

For Ventura County, which is where I am, it's a lot easier. The channel
colors correspond actually to the colors of the different department's
apparatus, well at least they used to before everyone started changing
colors.
Ventura County Dispatch is Yellow, they have Yellow rigs, the fireground
channels are Blue, the rigs have Blue trim, and the tacticals are Brown,
Dunno why though.
Oxnard Fire's Dispatch is Green, they have/had slime green rigs
Ventura City Fire is Red, to match their Red engines, thier tactical is
Gold, which is the trim on thier engines.
Fillmore City is Orange, has more to do with the city logo of an Orange,
but you get the idea.
Santa Paula is Grey, I have no idea why though.

Glad to help Andrew, I am hoping that the FCC will open up a portion of
that band for the study of "cave radio" for amateur radio ops.
Frequencies that low, have a much better time traveling through rock, so
these frequencies can be used to talk to cave exploration teams.

Chuck:
Nice to hear that someone else in the area is into "Longwave"! Yes,
I've logged the Russian outlet on 189 Khz - as well as 153 Khz, and
243(?)Khz. But definitely not using the AOR AR8000 (what could one
expect on the LFs with a radio that is smaller than one of the RF coils
on my RBL TRF)! Some of my best LW & BCB loggings have been on tube
sets, the surplus RAKs and RBLs for Longwave and a Collins R-392 (24v -
portable version of an R-390) for MWDX.
Lately I've been listening on an R7 & R8A and an NRD525. The Japanese MW
outlets have been Q5 around local sunrise and I managed to copy over an
hour of JO(IB?), 774 Khz for a reception report. They program "English
Lessons" during the time period - makes it a easy log. Some mornings I
can even listen to them on my way to work in the mobile.
Finally, Chuck do you know of any "Lowfer" activity in the area? Twice
I put XMITTRS on the air - the first in the early '70s, a circuit in
Popular Electronics; the second a DSB in the '80s from Ken Cornell's
"Scrapbook". Couldn't raise a soul...
73,

It works for me on Win95, albeit with the occasional lockup requiring a rebo

GE transmissions have plenty buzzes and lots of beeping.
they hold on the last channel and after the mic clicks
it pauses and then goes on....that buzz causes it to
linger a moment too long....a bridge too far....a lot
of time going no where audibly....

i'd agree with additions:
You need the case just to get it to stand on its own.
And, after about 20 drops to the ground, I now have a tiny
tiny stress crack in the body.
The numbers on the keypads wipe off with ease, so the case,
again, is a good idea.
The display is flaky on my particular unit, but can't
give it up to have my EE brother fix the connection I enjoy it
so much. Mine has the last 3 characters on the top 2 lines
missing some vertical aspects of the character matrix,
unfortunately RIGHT where it's hard to tell if i'm at 140.545
or 140.595.
The versatility is tops! I can adjust any little thing my
mind can imagine on this thing!
The rubber ribbed knobs are great for flicking the up/down
rather than hunting for the right key for the same function,
BUT THE ONE FOR THE on/off switch needs that extra torque
to turn it off & later on, so it eventually gets enough
green crud from the brass to slip right by....but caution,
the replacement knobs i've heard EEB sells, are very difficult
to get off if you want to get inside the radio's MOST inner
circuit board area (i can get in mine fine w/o touching any
knob).

PC or not, it is a very inflammatory term. Had you said "animals", you
would have made a strong enough point. Adding skin tone as an
adjective just perpetuates stereotyping. I know you are probably not a
racist but because there are so many still around, even the non-PC
types can feel embarassed at this. (Unless you yourself are an
African-American then my fullest apologies).

P.S. Did anyone supply the police freqs you were looking for?

Hello,
I recently got a frantic letter from a reader (I USED to write for USSN)
who needs help in finding the freqs that Intel is using in Rio Rancho, New
Mexico.
I have not been able to help him with any of the resources I have, but I
am hoping someone here can.
If so, please reply here and CC: to me and LCNJS@AOL.COM.
I appreciate your help. I may not write for USSN, but I still like to
help out the people who have written to me. I should point out that my
articles still appear in the magazine --- but the checks don't arrive
anymore.

I have a Grove Scanner Beam Antenna without the balun. Has anybody out
there constructed or used another balun on this antenna? Have you used
it to especially to transmit on 2 & 70 Cm Amateur band? How about with
50 watts voice FM?

The El light is glued by at least one end of its strip to the display.
The EL slides underneath the display piece, snuggly.
It can be removed, gently, I've used a razor to break the bond/glue at
one end of the strip, then gently pull the EL strip out.
Problem is, they no longer stock the part. Unless someone knows of a
source for the EL, you're now out of luck.
You might want to try using LEDs behind the display. Someone will
eventually post a solution to the problem, hopefully. I've illuminated
my PRO-43's screen with LEDs which now make it look like the display on
a 200XLT or 2035, same yellow/green color but haven't experimented with
the 2004 yet. Good luck.
(If you're that desperate for a fix, you might try ordering the entire
display board, but it's gonna cost $$$)
Regards,
LGS

Have you found a solution to our illegal alien (wetback) problem?
What do you suggest we here in the USA do to stop the invaders from

That beam stinks!
I bought one new and tried it on 2m , 70cm, and 6m all with lousy results.
The anteann gave me lousy SWR and contrary to what I was told when I
bought the antenna it was not directional on 6m (according to someone at
grove who I spoke with after experiencing the antenna).
Save the money on the balun and get another antenna.

Doug,
When you try sending commands to the scanner did you remember to
send CRLF after each command? (You need an ASCII 13 followed by an
ASCII 10.) A terminal emulator sometimes will send a 10 if you hit
Ctrl-ENTER. Thus, type AT1 followed by ENTER and then Ctrl-ENTER
and see what happens. The attenuator should go on (AT0 is off).
Otherwise, I suppose it could be your hardware.
Good Luck,
Ray

I am looking for a scanner that is pretty cabaple; I am from europe and
will use it mostly over there, however, I will use it in the states while
I am here (till spring of '97).
Is that a good scanner at a good price? I usually listen to SW on my
little sony receiver, and I am not too familiar with scanners. Can I pick
up SW bands with a scanner, and what is the battery life on a hand held
scanners? Could somebody give me more advice/information? Thank you!
Agnius

Todd,
I noticed that the scanner doesn't like to stop on weak signals.
Try adjusting the squelch detect time (see page 61). The default is
15 - the boys on the 'Net suggest using 5. This doesn't make it more
sensitive, just more likely to stop on a short squelch break.
Some people are actually changing a resistor inside. I haven't gone
that far - yet!
A better antenna helps. I haven't tried a preamp. Make sure the
attenuator is OFF!
Good Luck,
Ray

Durigan's defense of his use of "black animals" would be laughable if it
weren't so pathetic. Tell me Durigan, do you walk upright or do your
knuckles still drag along the ground? And, have you seen a doctor about
getting medication for that constant drooling?
Durigan is a piece of lowlife trash. He's the worst sort because he is the
sort of filthy vermin who is incapable of seeing himself for what he
truely is.
He's ridiculously termed this a case of PC! You single out a group of
people based on their color and attach the word "animals" to them and then
you argue that the only ones that should object to this as being
politically correct. That is easily the lamest argument that I have every
heard from a red-neck racist. It stuns me that morons like you have jobs,
own computers and write. You've managed to go far without an education.
Happily, scum like you will soon be extinct. You're too stupid to feed
yourselves.

Ok, I am going to try and post this message again. Rene Hagen, author of
semasoft has a 32 bit version in beta. This thing rocks!! I am getting
nearly 200 pages a minute during busy times and the only bug so far is
occasionally when you try to close the program, it hangs. Rene is
working on a fix before he release it. This version also has an rh
adjustment to further let you tune it with your scanner. Support this
guy and mail him with your interest and he may send you a beta. Also,
the 16 bit version now works under 3.11. I was getting only preamble
before and then GPF's but now it works fine... The only change I made to
the system was an updated (and correct brand) driver for my sound card
(sound bravo-16) which is a SB pro clone and I upgraded to the latest
win32s also. Now it doesn't crash and works fine.... Go figure. The 32
bit version is the better of the two though, I seem to get ALOT more
decodes with it than the 16 bit.
If anyone has the DTMF software decoder and any other software only
decoders please mail me.
Hopefully my ISP will get this message POSTED this time....

Yup! They did that last November. Atlanta's got their own and
Fulton County (mostly downtown town Atlanta, but it does
cover the entire county) has their own.

And there's absolutely no accounting for the total amount of
gross ignrance of the American people as well as the total
number of ass-hole liberals and Marxists having been
thoroughly brainwashed here within the United Socialist States
of America.
Feel free to take yourself, your damn communist asshole counsin
First General Sekretary Komrad KlinTAX and the rest of his band
of thieves to Cuba or other similiar country where you all can legally
confiscate the wealth and the property of the citizenry who's so damn
stupid they'll put up with it.
All these damn socialist confiscation "give-away" programs you
bastards have are going to come to a damn quick halt. Maybe
not this go around, but you can bet your ass it's going to stop.
It will stop either at the ballot box or by the cartidge box.

They're part of the "Goals 2000" liberal/Marxist crowd. They couldn't
read and comprehend a damn "Dick and Jane" primer. Probably not
even if _you_ read it to them!
But as long as they feel good and confiscate YOUR assets to give to
society's sorry and ignorant deadbeats, that's all that counts.
These people just make me want to heave my guts out everytime
they type something. It all sounds exactly the same. Different keyboard,
but it all comes out of the exact same book of liberal/Marxist crap!!!

Folks:
My husband is an environmental geologist working at a field site near
Buckley ANGB in Aurora, CO (They're drilling at on old hazardous waste
landfill near there). Right now they're working about 1/2 mi from the
end of the runway. Is there any type of a scanner or radio that would
allow him to listen to the military aircraft traffic? He's an
oversight supervisor, and has little to actually "do" and can get
pretty bored! Also, does anyone know where I could get him the
proper equipment used at a reasonable price?
Thanks,
Liz

I don't know where this guy is coming from. I've had many mr8100's. I used
to buy them 10 at a time. I ALWAYS used a straight thru serial cable, NEVER a
null modem cable or a null modem adaptor.

I have a Pro-2036 with the CTCSS board. I had the local Radio Shack
order it and had it in a few days. To install it is just a matter of
taking the case apart, plug in the card, screw it in place, put the case
back together and away you go.

That may or may not have been the actual case in your city
during the particular incident, but it seems unlikely. My
experience in Public Safety (18 years or so) tells me that
there are a LOT of minority crime victims, as well as
minority perpetrators. Minority criminals victimize
EVERYONE - they don't deliberately avoid members of their
own ethnic group.

They have a set of 5 channels in the 418 MHz range. Maybe
that's where the new trunk is located.
Oshawa FD is trunked on 800 MHz already.

There was a TV program about a paticular case that involved an apartment
owner having a video behind a two-way mirror, and the tennants found out
about it. The only thing they could get the owner on was the video camera
had a built-in mic because there doesn't seem to be any laws against
filming people when they don't know about it. I would assume that
receiving a video signal would be no problem, as long as there is no
audio. Who knows???

Hi
all, just got these mods, hot off the FAX!
Note: It is not lawful to monitor cellular or conventional mobile
telephone
conversations.
The 2026 has cellular frequencies deleted at the factory,
but
restoration is the easiest ever! - clip one marked wire! All you need
is a
Philips screwdriver and wire cutters.
1. Turn the scanner u
pside-down and remove the four side screws
holding the bottom cover in place; pull
the cover loose and set it
back about two inches out of the way.
2. Locate the small
circuit board at the lower right-hand corner and
find jumper L201. Cut it and
slightly separate the break.
3. Reassemble the
radio which now has continuous 806-956 MHz coverage
and 30KHz search increments in
the cellular band.
*** I have not tried the above mod, but did acquire it from
a
commercial radio dealer who is very respectable, so as always, proceed
at your own
risk and realize that this will violate your war
ranty!
Have Fun!

No one suggested sticking a wire into an AC outlet. The idea was
to make a connection to ground via the outlet faceplate screw
which screws through the faceplate into the outlet box. If the
house wiring is up to regulations, the outlet box is grounded
thereby facilitating access to the house ground plane.

I drove to Kitchener last night and also checked out Cambridge. I
confirmed that they have in fact switched over to a GE trunked system.
Only Beeping at the end of transmission, no Buzz Saw noise.
I talked to a few tow truck drivers who supplied me with about
40 frequencies but I can only confirm 10 of them.

I assume that you want some sort of comprehensive listing as opposed to
trying to gather dozens of old sectionals (by visiting airports across
the country) and transcribing info from the sectional to some kind of
database.
Almost all of the lower-end flight planning programs I've seen access a
simple ASCII file for lat/lon info on VORs and airports. If I were doing
a program I would just take one of these files and use it for my
reference file. NAV4 is one such program, and you should be able to grab
that at any aviation site or in the aviation forum on CompuServe. Just
for grins, I might try the FAA's web site because there are several
databases there and you might get lucky.
Good luck.

I once hooked up my PRO 34 to my TV antena.
I had the antena wire attached to a cable wire and then I used an
adapter to attach the cable wire to the BNC jack.
It worked good. I heared New York crystal clear from Monmouth County,
New Jersey Next to Asbury Park. I picked up cordless extremely well
I normally would not get such good reception on the little rubber
antena. And I Never hear NYC PD on the stock antena.

I expect (hope??) that some laws get passed about this in the near

cameras which can be hidden almost anywhere. Perhaps a law requiring
that people be notified by sign if there are cameras around.
Surreptitious video-ing of people would be a violation similar to
eavesdropping with microphones or other audio bugs.

Upon further reflection, they would probably have to be AM modulated if
you wanted a "party line" effect. 900 MHz sounds right but I'd sure
like to know more about this product.

I have been following this thread with some interest.
Although I do not have the said software, I have done lab tests on the
recovering data signals via a speaker/earphone socket on vhf
receivers.
You may be interested in the following observations
1) Data received via the speaker.earphone socket is severly modified
by the filtering and audio amplifier of the radio. This modification
"rounds" off the corners of what is best to be "square" corners. There
are also other modifications to the wave form. These all add to give a
distorted data wave form
2) The level of the data from the speaker/ear socket is adjusted via
the volume control. If you are feeding this into some sort of
interface, beit a schmitt trigger or beit a sound board, the level is
usually VERY critical. As you change the level, The wave form can be
further distorted
All this adds to a dissapointing result. If there is any reasonable
amount of distortion, then only the lower data speeds may be decoded,
and even these may be corrupt
The BEST way by far is to take the data audio directly from the
discriminator output. Feed this through a schmitt trigger to
"condition" the signal and then feed it into the computer/sound board.
In one set of tests I conducted, I achieved about 30 percent reliable
data recovery at 512 baud, Nil at 1200 or 2400 baud when using
speaker/earphone sockets. (FRG9600 and similar with the AR8000)
When the data was taken from the discriminator and conditioned via a
schmitt trigger circuit, the data recovery shot up to 100 percent 512
& 1200 and 95 percent at 2400 baud (FRG9600 - I have not yet don a
discriminator mod on the AR8000 as yet)
I think the above info speaks for itself. Dont blame the software -It
might be jolly good. I suspect the audio beinf fed to the computer is
just not clean enough.....
BTW: I do have a detailed discription on how to modiy the FRG9600 for
a discriminator output - I shall repost it in the near future...
Have fun.

Hello Bob,
I do an interface for the AR8000/2700.
Two versions: Ready Built or DIY kit. I have sent further details to
you direct to your email address...
I do ship to the States and Canada as well as Europe.

I know it's a wee bit off track (I suppose that the fact that most
video records do scan for a TV station , it might qualify!) BUT.....
Can any one advise if the American pre-recorded Video tapes can be
used in a British VHS recorder??

I recently bought a used BC855XLT and would like mod. info. I have already
located some info that refers to some jumper wires near the edge of the board
next to diode 210 or 201 but my unit is apparently newer because it has
surface mount parts. The serial number is 45002657if that helps. There is a
small stand-up board soldered to the main board labled "Window Unit". It has
several SM components. Would this be the 800MHz Cel Tel block? I would really
likeam more interested to know if the memory can be configured to 100 channels
as described in the mod. for the older units.
Please e-mail.

Then I don't suppose you'd like to explain why POPCOMM is over
a year in arears in paying their writers? I've spoken to several and
received the exact same story.
But to be fair, I am also given to understand that under your helm
writers are now starting to be paid again.
Is POPCOMM going to play catch-up with their back pay which
is generally over 12 months overdue?

I recently received a request from POPCOMM to resubsrcibe.
I'm sure you didn't read it, but I added a not with it that said:
"I refuse to subscribe to a magazine which refuses to pay
its writers, especially since POPCOMM is over a year in
arears". That still stands today. You bring your writers
up to speed in repayment, and I'll resubscribe. Until
then, you're on your own.

This is a good scanner and you did great by getting it for $15. I
already
have one and would get another for a bit more than $15!
Get yourself some AA rechargables (Radio Shacks are OK) and use the
charging
jack already there (red) on the side. I'm still on my first set of
batteries
and have cycled them a few dozen times and still get good results from
the
batteries. The scanner beeps when they get low.
The 37 compared favorably to a comparably-priced bearcat (I forget which
one)
that I borrowed for a bit; I preferred the 37.
The 37 used to sell in the $200-300 range and I think was replaced by
the 39.
My dislikes: The keys are small and sometimes "stick". I get the
feeling that
the keys don't have a long lifetime. The case seems fragile and I would
not want
to drop it anywhere.

I'm unclear on this, does this mod give you about the same thing as the

I can
say that I do not recall any mention in any of the newsgroups abot the BAND be
ing
adjusted to FREE. I only recall EURO bandplan being mentioned. I am not sure w
hat
the differences are between FREE (Software borders beyond the hardware?{FREEBA
ND}),
B1 (European Bandpblan) and A1 (USA Bandplan). Wasnt 76mhz the lower limit bef
ore
this mod?
Here is some more information:

NOAA has installed a new Weather Radio transmitter near Port Townsend, WA.
The freq is 162.425 Mhz, with links on 410.575 and 415.900 Mhz.
The signal originates out of the NOAA/NWS offices at Sand Point, in
NE Seattle. Sand Point is on Lake Washington and is a former U.S. Navy
Air Station.
The callsign is WWG-24 and it's sited on Miller Pk (or possibly Blyn Mt.),
which is west of Port Townsend, east of Port Angeles, and south of Gardiner.
Coverage area will be the Strait of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Islands, and
northern Puget Sound.
Broadcasts will emphasize marine info.
I first heard a test signal Sunday Nov 3, with an updated message being
sent Tuesday Nov 5th.

I doubt it. How much do you know about the AR8000?
So what features does the 7100 have that the AR8000 doesn't? (ie. what
makes it better?)
Can the 7100 be computer controlled? Hooked up to a scout?
Does it have alphanumeric channel labelling?
Does it have onscreen menus?
Signal strength graph? Spectrum analysis?
It seems to me that the AR8000 outperforms the 7100 in these areas (and
probably more) so I'm wondering what redeeming features it has that make it
better than the AR8000?

During good weather this past summer I became aware of a 747 departing
Sea-Tac airport on a straight out departure when runways 34 were active.
I am about 15 miles due north of Sea-Tac and the plane would fly right
overhead as it continued it's lumbering climbout as it flew northward.
Binocular inspection indicated it was a British Airways plane ( red stripe
wraps under fuselage). Listening to Clearance, and Departure freqs I heard
it ID as Speedbird 6718. I know that BA identifies as Speedbird, but when
I got on the BA web page I found the flight leaving Seattle for London
had a flight number of 082, not 6718.
Can someone tell me why the different numbers?
Also I am able to "follow" this flight until it gets into Vancouver Center
(CA) control on 133.500 ( or was it 133.700, I forgot my notes).
A "project" for the group:
Try and follow this flight as far as we can as it flys across Canada, noting
the freqs it gets handed off to (and which ARTC).

I'm shopping for my first scanner and have some questions before I make a
decision.
I am looking around the $150 - $250 range for mostly the home, but take it
with me occasionally. The FAQ indicates that I will not go wrong with
800Mhz.
What are the pros/cons on portable vs mobile scanners. How does the
reception compare between the two. It would make since that the mobile unit
would get better reception because of the bigger antenna the the portable
one.
I don't quite understand the reasons for different banks. I think you would
put similar type of frequencies into the same bank (ex. Police in one bank,
Aircraft in other...), but when you scan, do you scan just one bank or can
you scan multiple banks???
Keypads??? Are they a necessity. One of the scanners I am looking at is the
Sportscat SC150. It does not seem to have a keypad to directly key in the
frequencies. Is this a pain???
I guess I am leaning towards the BC230XLT for now, but I have so much to
learn before purchasing....
Thanks for any help.

OK.. a new one on me...
I have had a cb in my truck for many years. I'm somewhat new to
sanning (about 7 months). When I got my BC220XLT I stopped listening
to my cb and of course listened to my scanner. I bought a CD cassett
tape thing so I could listen to my scanner through my sterio. I was
using my cb antenna on my scanner untill I bought a RS glass mount
scanner antenna. Now I have an ant. for each radio. Today I had them
both on. I grabbed the cb mic and started to talk. To my surprize I
heard myself through the scanner (sterio). Like I said "I'm new at
this", but am I going to fry anything? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I agree Brian, it is alot better to come of the disciminator to read
pocsag and other protocols. However, after 10 years of buying hardware
to keep up with the ever changing digital radio communications, it is a
pleasant change to plug in my sound card to the earphone jack of my
scanner and get results. The author of semasoft, Rene Hagen, is making
great strides in an area alot of people said "can't be done". In the
beta 32 bit version of semasoft, there is a righthand bitsquare width
adjustment to tune the "rounding off" of the waveform thus enabling alot
more than 30% good copy. Keep hitting Rene's pocsag page everyone, I
cannot send my copy as it is registered to me by the author for beta
testing. Any further questions should go to Rene too. Well, I am off to
do some more decoding! Toodles!

Show me the source of your knowledge and I'll read that,
because none of the other books that I have read about the
construction and content of a TV emission remotely resemble
what you say it is.

Look for Cobra, Maxon, and Midland to enter the fray before year's end.

The mobile scanner will typically have better 'insides' than a portable
in the sense that the receiver's ability to reject unwanted signals will
be improved. Also, mobile scanners will usually have a better audio
amplifier due to the higher noise environment in an automobile.

You are right. And yes, on most scanners, you can select multiple banks
to scan or just scan one bank. For example, I like to monitor the local
fire departments when I am at home, so I just scan that bank when I am
doing other things. But when I am primarily listening to the scanner I
will add in some of the other banks.

Keypads make entering frequencies a whole lot easier. For a first
scanner, I think you would want a keypad.
For someone new to the hobby, I think a portable is a good choice,
although a base scanner will offer more features and usually more 'bang
for your buck'. If you really believe you will want to carry the
scanner with you, go with the portable.
Hope this helps.

I did this once with one of those cassetes that allow you to play your
discman in the car. It sounded good and I could crank the volume up loud
enough to hear the scanner while working in my yard. Give it a try. As
for the LF door only, is this a factory stereo? Do you have an equalizer
(preferably line level)?

If you search 155.000 to 156.000 you will cover just about all of them.
There is also a mobile repeater/intercity frequency on 460.125

In fact, the owner's audio should never be heard since it is not
"directly" transmitted on the frequency you pick. It is a two-way link
in a full-duplex fashion so, you need two channels: one for uplink and
carrying the owner's audio (low power, short-range) and another for
downlink coming from tower sites (high-power, longer range). You
usually pick the downlink frequency and, therefore, "only" the far-end
audio. Phone land lines usually suffer from a so-called "side-tone"
effect: you may hear both channels mixed on the downlink because only
one physical line is used and audio separation is not always perfect.
So, you might only expect to hear one audio on one channel, usually
the downlink one, but an unwanted side-effect of the land lines mixes
a portion of the uplink on the downlink. The amount of uplink mixed
depends on the particular characteristics of the land line allocated
for each conversation.
You will never hear the downlink mixed on an uplink channel.
Hope it helps.
Jordi.

Got a cassette deck in the car? Buy one of those cassette-like widgets
that allow you to feed the scanner's audio through the car system.They
cost about $15-$20.

Anyone know anything about this unit? How about a good online place to buy?

This is what scanning is all about...
Tuesday night (11/5) about 10-10:30 I turn the scanner on before bed,
after elections, and since I include P-MARS in my normal bank, I hear the
MD State Police are chasing a stolen Baltimore City bus. I picked up the
chase on the GW Parkway in VA. Headed south, it reaches Mt. Vernon and
turns around and heads back north on the Parkway, eventually entering
Wash. DC...at this time there are 3 or 4 helicopters, US Park Police,
Alexandria City Police, Metropolitan PD (DC), Fairfax County Police (you
get the idea...everyone was there). The bus heads through DC into MD (PG
County police now involved), across the Woodrow Wilson bridge on the DC
beltway and back into VA where the VA state police now join the pursuit.
(Broadcast TV coverage the next day says at one point there are 33
cruisers involved in the chase). Bus speeds range from 50-60 mph. At
least two different types of devices to blow the tires by at least two
different jurisdictions were tried at least 4 times...only succeeded to
damage cruiser tires. Apparently the bus tire treads were too heavy. By
now most of the action is on the VA State Police freq. along with a
play-by-play from the helicopters still on P-MARS. Bus slows at least
once but continues...by now cruisers are dropping out of the chase because
of fuel. All jurisdictions did a great job anticipating the route the
driver was taking and getting pedestrian traffic out of the way. To get a
description in case the driver bailed, one cruiser got "close enough to
kiss him." The VA State police were preparing a cruiser with a shotgun to
take a shot at the engine...the compartment was open, but never resorted
to trying it. Finally around Culpepper, VA the driver swerves the bus and
flips it. Suspect taken into custody around 2am.
All in all, chase lasted at least 3 - 3 1/2 hours and 180 miles, starting
in MD, into VA, into DC, back into MD, then back into VA...in a bus!
Congrats to all jurisdictions involved...no serious injuries, most of the
damage was to parked vehicles. And this driver was very active in ramming
cruisers and other cars when they came close enough.
Kind of a real life SPEED.
Best of all....I got to listen to it all. Exactly what this hobby is all
about!
Anybody else catch any of this? 73's

Kevin, I've had the same thing happen to me and so far I haven't blown
anything up. I don't plug the scanner into the stereo though. My cb comes
through the stereo by itself. Try moving your cb and your car radio or your
scanner antenna further apart if you can. I haven't blown anything up yet,
but I'm always cautious to try to disconnect the scanner antenna when I talk
on the Chump Band. I use my 2 meter ham radio antenna for my scanner antenna,
so I rarely have both of them on at the same time. I wouldn't want to run 5
watts from my HT into the scanner antenna at that close of range if I had a
scanner antenna. Hope this helps.

I also expect it, but I sure don't hope for it. Now that we have four more
years of communist socialism, we're all doomed. Be careful what you say on
here. You may be taken by the thought police.
Perhaps a law requiring that people be notified by sign if there are cameras
around.

Sure it would! (if you placed this camera in someone elses house and
transmitted the video to your location) Otherwise, if I want to place a video
camera on my property, I'll do it. Try to stop me communist.

I found this page on the Web, thought I'd pass it on to anyone in the
Richmond area who might be interested. It's a document created by the
Society of Broadcast Engineers in the Richmond area listing all the
auxilliary frequencies (and their uses) used by radio and tv stations in
the area. It's got wireless mic frequencies, in-studio cueing
frequencies, traffic report frequencies, repeater freqs, etc. I wish I
could find something similar for where I live!

What is the minimum curve radius for 9913 type cable (actually, it's
9086)? I have the impression that if it is bent too sharply, its RF
characteristics change a lot for the worse. Does anyone make BNC
connectors for this cable or will I have to use a 259/BNC adapter?

Apparently, so am I. I read a technical book on TV signals
and servicing several years ago that repeatedly used the
term "subcarrier" to describe any of the discrete signals
within the TV channel envelope.

What's with everyone's affinity about cutting diodes off?
Desolder it and then move it over to speed up the 2004.
2. Add a 1N4148 to the empty spots for D-510 for 100 more channels.
3. Add a 1N4148 to the empty spots for D-514 for a 25% speedup.
NOTE: DO NOT ADD A DIODE TO EMPTY SPOTS FOR D-511 or D-512. This will
alter the cellular spacing steps and other ungood stuff.

When you transmit on your CB you're totally overpowering the receiver in
the scanner. If it isn't picking up the CB frequency (27.xxxx MHz)
directly, it's picking up a harmonic of it since the signal is so strong
relative to the other transmitters around.
I get the same thing when I use the cell phone in the car when the
scanner's turned on. The scanner stops on the first 800MHz frequency
(sometimes the first 400MHz frequency) programmed in and the caller and
I get to listen to some wonderful feedback.
I think you're just going to turn off the scanner (or turn it's volume
WAY down) when you want to transmit with the CB.

I stole all of my scanner ideas from some bum that lives under a bridge.
Here's a new modification: Get an R/C car and control. (preferrebly a
higher end model) Mount your scanner onto the frame.
You will now have a higher scanner speed from 0 mph to 15 mph.

You probably won't "fry" anything but it is annoying, isn't it? Your CB
is probably being picked up by the cassette device - probably on the
cable that runs from the scanner to the cassette deck. I would have
also suggested that your stereo speaker wiring could be the culprit but
you didn't mention having a problem with the cb/stereo combination
before.
You might be able to choke off the RF on the wire with a ferrite device
installed close to the stereo. A couple of wraps around a toroid might
help - a snap on ferrite bead or two may be sufficient.
You didn't mention if you were "running power" on your CB. If you are,
you might try to go "barefoot". However even a legal, stock CB can
cause the problems you describe - it pretty common due to the fact that
CB is A.M. and operate at a relatively low frequency. Your wiring is
probably just acting like an antenna.
Regards

I was wondering how one of those criminal types would go about modifying
thier scanner to recieve the cell phone frequencies. Is it a fairly easy
mod, or complex? Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure if I heard FRS or GMRS interstitials but I surprised some
kid who was talking to his Dad on INTER 1 (FRS 1). I asked for his
callsign but got no reply except "Did you hear that? (to his Dad
presumably)". I'll keep challenging for GMRS calls to determine if its
FRS or GMRS.
Also, I believe Tandy decided to begin with only the upper 7 to avoid
interference to exisitng GMRS INTER users hoping that their modulation,
power, and bandwidth specs will prevent GMRS repeater intereference. A
good idea I guess. I understand Motorola is offering all 14 channels
which is probably what I heard.

The Society of Broadcast Engineers seems to do this for most areas of
the country, for frequency coordination. Maybe if you could find a local
chapter and ask nicely enough, you could obtain a copy for your area.
I got a copy of their lists for the El Paso, TX/Las Cruces, NM area
from a friend of mine who is chief engineer of one of New Mexico State
University's radio stations - he needed to pick a frequency for a new
remote unit that they're getting (KRUX-FM remote, at 450.150 MHz).

I've found that especially in the Ham and Scanner groups, the sellers are
all very honest and have never had a lick of problems and I've bought lots
of stuff from the net.
Usually the stuff I do is COD, I've never purchased something using a credit
card but it would see that you would be even safer, as you have some sort of
legal recourse or way to dispute the charge is something goes wrong.

Oh excuse me, oh red-necked one. I assumed that you would already know
that malex007@aol.com and malex@kersur.net are Michael Alexander. It's not
as though I'm a stranger around here. Obviously, you wish to deflect the
discussion away from your neanderthal view of the world.
As for your supposed convictions, you slime ball, you would rather hide
them under a bed sheet. Your beliefs are those of the utterly vile and
loathsome. Decent people can't stand the smell of you.

Don't the new Relm scanners cover the UHF-T band (470 - 512 MHz)?
The specifications you posted omit this important frequency range.

It's totally non-criminal to modify a scanner to receive on frequencies
which are used by cellular phones. Why else do companies openly
advertise they will do it (and some have done so for years)? It's only
illegal to actually use it listen in on private conversations (in the
US). In Canada, you can listen to what you want as long as you keep it
to yourself.

It isn't a crime to MODIFY a scanner to monitor cell phone freqs. It IS a
crime to MONITOR the cell phone freqs.
Or...were you wondering if criminals modified their radios in a different
manner than non-criminals? (grin)
The mod depends on the radio...some are hard, some are simple, some are
not able to be modified. What radio do you have in mind?

That would have been a great idea (what is it they say about hindsight?).
I even have a machine set up with a feed so I could have done it easily.
I guess I was so caught up in trying to get all the different scanners on
the right freq's...VSP would have been the one to get!
A couple people of sent me mail asking what P-MARS is...It is the police
mutual aid frequency. In my area this is 453.55. There is also a fire
mutual aid on 154.28 and I believe a nationwide mutual aid used on
155.475. I keep them programmed in my main bank although they are usually
quiet...but when something big happens (like this) and it crosses many
jurisdictions the channel will become active and you can get a lot of
info.
Good scanning...73

The 7100 definitely does not have the features or flexibility of the
8000. What it does have is a better receiver. For the difference in
cost between the two, most people would, and should, opt for the 8000.
If you are looking for the best in performance, rather than all the
"gizmos", then the 7100/7200 is the way to go. I personally use my
7100 much more than my 8000; but the 8000 still amazes me for all that
it does...

I'm not sure that I would agree with the argument listed below for
better unwanted signal rejection. Most mobiles that I have seen are
only double conversion. There are quite a few choices in the portable
realm that are triple conversion. Today's portables seem to be
where the manufacturers are putting their R&D making them with great
filters, audio quality and overall features.
The upper hand definitely goes to the mobile for audio volume(and
sometimes audio quality). If you can be bothered by a cassette
adapter, this point too might be mute.
If you find yourself in your car a LOT, then the mobile is the
way to go. If you find yourself listening when walking around,
in the car and at home(and can only afford one or two radios),
then a portable with the cassette adapter is the way to go...IMHO.

I think it would be easier to simply build (or buy) a circuit for the
scanner that directly activates the recorder. (Unless you absolutely need
the computer to get involved for logging purposes, etc.) Using a program
would require that the scanner "talk" to the computer to tell it when it
was receiving a signal. The computer would then interpret the info and
turn on a switch that would turn on the recorder.
I would be better to have the scanner "talk" directly to the
switch...bypassing the computer altogether. Fewer parts, less
complicated. What kind of scanner are you using?

I own a 2700, don't get it. It's trash. Birdies galore, terrible
sensitivity, picks up all kinds of garbage. The only good thing is
800MHz. MilAir is deaf as well.

Some of that "noise" may be from the transmitter "choke" filter not working
correctly. This background noise is usually filtered out and you, or the
officers, would not normally hear it. Being "off Frequency" doesn't sound
like the cause, at least to me.
Hope this helps.

It is very common for older R7000s to require
realignment of the crystal reference oscillator
in the PLL section. The crystal ages with time.
The higher in frequency you tune, the
more noticeably off frequency the R7000 becomes,
as revealed by the center-reading meter, especially in
the 860+ MHz range.
I've realigned a few R7000s, including one I used to own.
Sorry, I no longer have a service manual for the R7000
so I cannot cite the exact component nomenclature.
The realignment requires the proper non-metallic
alignment tool to adjustment a core in a coil.
It is located within a shielded compartment on
the side of the radio.
You must remove both top and bottom covers of the R7000.
Then, you must remove the metal shield cover.
Let the radio warm up.
Sorry, I cannot be more specific without having it
in front of me. Perhaps someone with a manual
can point you at the exact coil location.
The Icom schematic does not portray the
coil as having an adjustable core, but it does.

Hi David, I have both scanners and prefer the Bc3000 for scanning and
military listening. The Ar2700 has squelch sensitivity problems due to
it's method of squelch control. It will skip signals the Bc3000

the Great Smoky Mountains or Dollywood, you will want these freq's.
I will add a BUNCH more stuff ASAP. I just put It up Tuesday night so
bear with me!
If you have anything you would like me to add to the list (scanner

I just read an interesting article about this guy in Brentwood, NH that
has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart, BellSouth Products and U.S.
Electronics, Inc.
It involves a BellSouth Model 700 cordless phone that apparently is
supposed to be a "secure" phone, with the manual stating: "You can feel
secure that nobody will intercept the conversation between the handset
and the base unit. Your cordless telephone is equipped with a security
code which has over 1 million combinations..."
This guy paid $151.26 for this phone so that he can use it, along with
a cellular phone to discuss sensitive matters with his son, wife and
attorney. A neighbor with a scanner picked up his phone calls and another
neighbor told this guy that he was the laughingstock of the neighborhood
and that he should watch what he says on his cordless telephone. so much
that he has his house on the market to leave his neighborhood.
Do people really think they can have penegon-style security with a
$150 cordless phone??
Nothing is ever said about the security between the base and the handset.

Sounds like mid-1994, when the FCC was really backed up.
Of course, the FCC Form 574-T allows you to use your equipment while

Many use the "auto-start" function on tape recorders to provide this
function.
And Olympus has a great little unit that also time/date stamps each
recording.
Bill Cheek has an easy-to-build plan, I believe, that will flip a relay
when incoming audio is picked up.

Dear Fellows
My Realistic 2005 is dying from me. The sound output have been
weakened now some time and is now so low that I need to open
the volume knob all the way to be able to hear anything. The internal
speaker is dead, so I have to use the external speaker output.
I have a maximum of 2 volt AC out from the external speaker with
open squelsch at NFM with no traffic (background noise).
Does anyone know what's the problem. Appreciate all information.
Regards
Lars Lindh

I think this is the model that can support up to 3 handheld units off of
one base. Supports paging and call transfer between handsets. 900

Radio Shack scanners, 800mhz or 1.3 ghz style are available. depends
what bands you are going to listen to. They are made by Uniden , but
designed just a little different, I think the rec. is better that any
of the Uniden scanners that are made. Even if it is still made by
Uniden.

The AOR AR2700 and the AR8000 can descramble frequency inversion
scrambling if you by the decoding board for them (it is an add-on
option).

I bought a brand new PRO-2006 from an ad posted here; Got it no problem.
I also felt the same way about my credit card # , so I had it sent COD.
As a matter of fact, I been considering ordering another one from here,
since there was no problem with the first. Good Luck

174mhz; 406 - 470mhz; 471 - 512mhz; 830 - 869mhz; 870 - 890mhz; 891 - 950
mhz. The correct .030 spacing is intact. I have the original box, the

Since you live in Canada, it is legal to listen to cell phones (but no to
disclose anything you hear.) RadioShack only gets U.S. import scanners, so
they are cell blocked by law. I just bought an AOR AR2700 which was imported
from Japan, where it is made, and not the US. It has no cell blocks at all,
only the models going to the US do.

The morse identifier is on the channels which have no dispatcher to give
the callsign. Unfortunately, it just blows away the conversation in progress
unlike amateur repeaters.

Apparently it's just a scanner. Stops on the next active channel it finds.
And nobody seems to have explained why they claim 16 when Dallas only has
12 (not counting the frequencies they use illegally).
It does have the advantage that like the rest of the Internet, it puts a
lot of people in jeopardy of becoming better educated.

Both of my vehicles have a stereo that have a CD input. I have used that

This is EXACTLY why I like GMRS...very quiet, family only. I'm still

It should be mandatory for folks who post to this NG to read a few
articles before posting. You all know what I mean. For example;
1. "What are the cordless phone frequencies?" (I just bought a scanner
and I figured you guys would help me listen to my neighbors).
2. "How do I receive cellular phone calls?" (See number 1).
3. "Please provide me with all of the police frequencies." (I'm too
busy to research this myself, you fellas seem to have a lot of time on
your hands).
4. "Please email your response to me" (See number 3).
5. {After a complete repost of a 16K original article}"...I agree..."
6. "You misspelled 'frequency' three times..."
7. {Although I never read these} "You're a poopyhead", "Mackey...",
"Cheek...", et al.
Sorry for this quasi-non-scanner post. I just needed to get it off my
chest.

I just bought a new Uniden EX 905/925 digital cordless phone. In the
owners manuel it gives the frequency range as Base unit 925.00 to 927.90
and handset at 902.10 to 905.00. I used a scout and it taged the handset's
frequencies but not the base. Listening with the Ar8000 the S-meter is
almost full scale but nothing is heard. I even tried different modes with
no results.

SOmething about it the whole story is just wrong. I mean, common
sense would dictate that if you had a choice between a $150 cordless phone
and a $20 phone with a cord on it, and wanted to make sure no one was
listening in (at least as long as they haven't tapped the line itself),
then the corded phone would be the way to go. After all, if the info was
so sensitive that he now has to sell his house and spend money on a suit
because people know this info, why was having a _cordless_ phone so
important that it superseded all of that? =)

Yes, in fact you can use a splitter to send signal to more than one
scanner. It helps if you are using 75 ohm feedline, and you will notice
a 3.5 DB loss per drop but it does work. Most splitters have about a
20DB isolation between taps so interference from one scanner to the
other should be minimal.

Motorola uses trade names to identify various features of their radio
products.
"Private Line", or "PL" is their name for CTCSS (Continous Tone Coded
Squelch System),
where one of 38 standard 'sub-audible' (50-300 Hz) analog tones is mixed
in as part
of the audio on a FM transmission. It is used to open a selective
decoder at the
user's receiver, so the receiving party only listens to those users in
the 'group'.
"Digital Private Line", or "DPL", is their name for CDCSS (Continous
Digital Coded
Squelch System), is a like operating system where a digital "word" is
sent in the
audio on an analog FM signal instead of the analog tone. There a
numerous standard
CDCSS 'words'.
Hope this helps!
Don

The minimum bend radius should be _no less_ than 2-1/2 times the
diameter of the cable, according to the methods we used on sub
construction. I think 9913 is .405" in diameter, so that would be 1.01"
minimum BR. For me, that's too tight. I generally double that just to
be safe.

914.4625? When I hooked up my Playstation it would pick it up at that
fregs, but as soon as I turned it off it would start scanning again. I do
not know if it matters but keep in mind that I have a (BC220xlt).
Thanks

Looking for advice on a unobtrusive, full-range (30-1000 MHz) scanning
antenna. Due to restrictions in my development, I'd like to stay away
from a discone because of their visibility.
The antenna will be mounted in the clear approx. 25' from the ground.
I'm currently using a low price RS antenna (cat #20-176).
One antenna I'm considering is the RS All-Band Ground Plane (cat
#20-014).

Here's my last word on this subject. You've got the audacity to accuse me
of hypocrisy, while at the very same time you are engaging in
extraordinary cowardice and vindictiveness. You and the other jackels that
you refer to don't have the spine or decency to say to Durigan that his
overtly racist comments are objectionable and intolerable. Instead, you
seize upon my sardonic "red-necked-one" comment as some sort evidence of
hypocrisy on my part. The truth is that the three of you have your own
private agendas that have nothing to do with Durigan or his racism.
Indeed, you silence on that subject is quite telling. No, you are the
hyocrites. You are also blackguards, liars and cowards.

Maryland has already done that, illegal to video tape anyone in your house
w/out their permission, like in video taping the babysitter beating you
kid, etc. Another case of the system caring more for criminal rights than
victoms.
Oh, by the way, Maryland says it OK for employers to tape their employees.

Can someone please tell me if I am using the proper procedure for
programming a 2022.
A friend gave me his unit to put a battery in. He said he hasn't used
it in a while.
I put a new battery in it and tried to program in a freq. I used the
following procedure.
I pushed "1" "Manual" to get it to channel 1.
I then pushed "Program" 162.55" "Enter"
The displayed added the appropriate number of zeros and it looked like
the freq was programmed. BUT, I got nothing out of the speaker other
than static. I then tried programming channel 2 using the same
method. When I went back to channel one, the frequency was not there.
Am I doing something wrong in the programming procedure?
Is there a way to reset the unit (I already pushed the reset on the
back of the unit)?
Does it sound like there could be something wrong with the scanner?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Gary

There you go again, expecting me to live up to your standards. You know

Mr. Thought Police.

Pardon me, Michael, but read who wrote what. That is not my comment. I
believe Tyler made that one...

No, it is a very public agenda. It is to show you that even you do not
live up to your own standards, which you expressed to each of us during
the cheek/mackey flame wars. You're right, we don't give a hoot about
Durigan.
> Indeed, you silence on that subject is quite telling. No, you are the

Silence? Shall I make our private e-mail public? I told you what I
think of Durigan there, and you responded with further accusations, foul
language and further insults.... By the way, I will make one of my
comments to you public ( which is my right). Please stop sending me foul
languaged, insulting e-mail. If it continues, I will forward them to
abuse@aol.com aned abuse@kersur.net. That, Michael, is what started this
in the first place, not any "loyalty" that we have toward Durigan.
Grow up, Michael.

Bill,
I had a mobile scanner at one time. The problem with a mobile is that you
can't take it with you if you leave the auto. I finally got a single
handheld and auto-antennas for both of my vehicles. In my main vehicle I
installed a Radio Shack amplified speaker and in my second vehicle I use a
Sony cassette adapter to listen to my scanner through the stereo.
I don't know exactly what your needs are, but I thought I might share my
experiences with you.

As promised, I have added the original Uniden MR-8100 programming
software, SCAN.EXE, (with permission from Uniden America), along with the
newest version (0.9) of the Windows-based programming front-end, PSCAN,
to my Web site as downloadable files. SCAN.EXE is not too large, but
PSCAN is 700K and will take a bit of time. PSCAN is also available from
the HamNet Forum on Compuserve and the Ham Radio User Group on AOL. Both
programs are required.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Scan_PikesPeak
Those of you who have acquired this scanner, but are without the
programming software, will find this indispensible.

I used to have all of them, but tossed them when I left town.
next time you are near an unattended cop car peek in at the dash, the most
common ones are usually taped there.
they are not important codes. They are mostly action codes that let the
dispatcher know what citation or action was taken on the call.
for example: C-18, 10-8 is a no cause for alarm, back in service if my
memory serves me.

While this whole thing is getting quite off the scanner subject, I would
like to ask something that I have asked/commented on before. Why do
people assume that sending something by e-mail means that the addressee
is supposed to keep it private? Especially if, such as the apparent
situation above, there is a dispute about what someone is saying to
strangers outside of the newsgroup and what they say here in a "public"
forum.
Addressing the above - if you have something that shows malex007 is
talking out of both sides of his face, by all means share it! THAT IS -
if you think that it would benefit the newsgroup.
For the record... Anyone that sends me an e-mail is taking their
chances. I don't make a habit of reposting e-mail messages from my
inbox to newsgroups - but there is nothing that says I can't. I keep
personal and business/legal matters appropriatly confidential. But when
I take issues from a newsgroup to private e-mail it is usually because I
think what I have to say will not benefit anyone else. If that
recipient wants to resend my e-mail back out to the world with comment
there is not much I can do about it - but in that case don't blame ME
for wasting space on your news reader.
The point is... when you send e-mail to someone you don't know, what
makes anyone think that it is magically considered confidential?
... and this newsgroup is home to the same group of people that think
the public is dumb to expect privacy on a cellphone?
Regards

Most people don't, but Mikey seems to believe otherwise, and will insult
your ethical standards if you even mention that he sent you e-mail (see
previous posts in this thread written by Mikey).
: Addressing the above - if you have something that shows malex007 is
: talking out of both sides of his face, by all means share it! THAT IS -
: if you think that it would benefit the newsgroup.
Unfortunately, (as I mentioned when I got involved in the thread) I
deleted Mikey's first e-mail, although he followed up admiting that he sent
it. I could, by the way, post Mikey's e-mail to other folks, as they
have forwarded it to me with messages along the lines of "Don't let this
guy get to you, he think's he's the local net.cop." I choose, at *my*
discretion, however, not to post their e-mail to me (but I invite them to
do so (or not) at their own discretion. I will let them involve
themselves if they so desire).
What I have saved is two sides of an e-mail conversation
where I attempted to conduct a reasonable conversation with Mikey (I
don't throw insults and foul language around. Read my past posts to
figure that one out...) and received in my mail box messages which were
full of insults, foul language and a bunch of other crap which "decent
people can't stand the smell of...." as Mikey pointed out to Drew Durigan.
At this point, however, I am willing to refrain from posting the
e-mail, and to let it drop, provided that Mikey does also, and that I
never again find my mail box littered with his junk (foul languaged or
otherwise).
: For the record... Anyone that sends me an e-mail is taking their
: chances.
I agree 100%. I just hope that those who do post other's e-mail (or
send it to ISPs) send the original message without making baseless
accusations... One person who told me of a past encounter with Mikey
knows what I am talking about.... And again, I have no intention of
posting this person's e-mail, but invite this person to do so (or not) at
his own discretion...

OK, you were right. There IS a 574T form. However it would have helped
everyone more if you'd explained it's limitations.
According to Dick Harrison at the FCC Consumer Assistance Desk, 574T
allows you to talk while waiting for your regular license ONLY on a GMRS
REPEATER SYSTEM to which you've been accepted as a member. You may NOT
use the interstitial fqs or operate other simplex.
Since I'm only interested in simplex (That's why I bought PRS-102's.)
The 574T isn't for me. Others may find it useful though.
Anyway it's difficult to call the FCC during my work hours & I was
interruped so I hope someone else can call them for COMPLETE
information. (800) 322-1117

Sounds like mid-1994, when the FCC was really backed up.
Of course, the FCC Form 574-T allows you to use your equipment while
your application is in process.

The 574T is for use on a repeater. However, I used the temp callsign on
the interstitials until my call came four weeks later. No one was gonna
say I couldn't use my $360 radios for a month. I figure it would be
easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. I took a chance and it
panned out OK. 2 watts of simplex interstitial work isn't going to
cause an FBI/ATF raid on your house. Especially now since those freqs
are open to unlicensed FRS radios.

Yes. Here in the Toronto area they are starting to market such a device.
It can be a cellular phone, two-way radio, and a pager. I'm not exactly
sure of all the details at this time.

Perhaps this is actually a two-way radio, that is unprogrammable by
hand but by computer by a GE dealer? No such handheld scanner exists..

I'm hoping someone out there in netland will be able to advise me on my
current dilemma that is really killing me. I met a guy Charlie at work, who
sold me an RS 2004 for about 300 dollars, I know, it's a lil high for a 2004,
but I figured it wasn't too much since I would have to wait longer to get one
on the net. So, at first it was going good for a week, when the scanners
display kept shorting out, if it picked up a certain signal or something the
display would go blank and I would have to reset. I was concerned that this
2004 would break, and I would be out 300 dollars, so I talk to him, and he
agreed that he would get me a loaner, until he can get me a scanner of just
about the same price as I paid. He gave me temporarily, a crappy little mobile
scanner, which I was not happy with and I repeatedly reminded him. Several
months passed, go figure, this happened in May/June, and now It's Novemeber,
he calls me, says he has a scanner, but I need to cough up another 70 bucks, I
was willing to do to get this whole mess outta the way. it's an RS3004, but
now after using it, I feel like I'm getting reamed, and I'm fed up. Do I have
any rights? I'm thinking perhaps a small claims court case could solve it, I
know a little about torts, and I feel he broke an oral contract, but I don't
want to get in over my head. I guess I could of prevented all this, but I'm
such a smuck, I was too trusting, and shouldn't of put the whole sum up front.
I guess I don't want to just give up and let myself be walked over. Please,
any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in Advance!
Mike

Sorry, Mike. You have no legal recourse. He made a "good faith"
effort to fulfill his end of the bargain. Not to mention that oral
agreements don't carry much weight. Take your lumps, and maybe deal
with someone you trust in the future.

Looking for aircraft frequecies? Airguide Publications Inc.,
sells a small booklet of airport listings that show the
associated radio frequencies. They come in three volumes,
Western, Central and Eastern States. That's the good news.
The bad news is that they cost about $35 bucks a pop!
The GOOD news is that you can find these at thrift shops
and garage sales for about one or two dollars. It's a small
4x5 loose leaf book that's easy to throw in the glove
comparment. It doesn't have to be up to date, because
the info doesn't change all that much, and it's GREAT for
Scannerists.

Grove Enterprises' web page has the ARTCC frequencies. The FSS's
pretty much all use the same frequencies, 122.2 and 255.4 being the
most common, I believe.
Grove's url is: http://www.grove.net

The reason your "scanner" is so restrictive is because its a Handi-talkie
amataeur radio and not a scanner at all. If you don't have a ham license,
which I'll asssume you don't, you shouldn't even be possesion of such a
radio.

You ought to check the Alinco catalog before you go spewing insults around
here. The DJ-X1 is a **SCANNER** in the form-factor of the mini
handi-talkies, and it does have continuous coverage.

Taking a trip for a few days in the near future on Amtrak. Going from
western New York area over to NY city and then down the eastern seaboard
to Florida. I'd like to do some rail scanning along the way if there is
any to be had. Does anyone know where I might find the correct freqs.
to program in to the scanner for a trip like this? Also, anyone know
what freqs the rail-phones use? Thanks in advance for all suggestions.
Regards,
Ray Miller N2NJK

Generally Amtrak uses the road frequencies of the railroads on which it
is running. There are also some onboard services frequencies used by the
crew for communication among themselves.
You would have to know the rail lines on which Amtrak is running to
determine the frequency used. Of course, if you have a scanner which
handles it, you could program all 100 AAR frequencies on your scanner.

It may surprise you to learn that the official name for AMTRAK is:

I suggest Rail Scan for the Amtrak freqs. Remember to look under the railroad
who owns the tracks
for freq's not just Amtrak. Frequently Amtrak simply has run-through rights w
ith the track owner, and
uses those radio channels as well.
As for the phones, most rail-phones are simply train mounted cell phones. <G>

Amtrak uses the radio frequency for the railroad that owns the track
it runs on, exception--major terminals ect---for its' daily operation
to find these railroads out just look at the amtrak timetable
as it lists the cities there will be a header every so often
with names like "CSX Conrail ect" then using a frequency directory
you can find these frequencies.
Secondly while on the train look at the portable radios that some of the
crews will be wearing
when I rode they had ones that had a display that read eg.(" "9898")
I later realised that the "98's" denoted the AAR radio numbers

I also started out with the Pro-51 and went through the same antenna
cycle. The stock antenna is pretty worthless, especially while the
scanner is laying flat. In the house I use the 5 segment loaded
telescoping antenna from Radio Shack (about $10 and well worth it.) I'd
put an antenna in the roof, but I move around too much and take the
scanner with me from room to room.
In the car I started out with the stock antenna. It works OK for base
and close mobile transmissions if you can put it in the car in such a
way that the antenna is vertical.
I tried the glass mount also. It worked a lot better than the stock
antenna for everything except VHF low.
I eventually broke down and got one of the magnetic mount scanner
antennas from Radio Shack (the one with the two load coils) and stuck it
on my car. To hell with being inconspicuous, I want better reception.
It works great! It absolutely blows away any other configuration I've
tried.
The mag mount does so much better than even the telescoping antenna that
I got another one and stuck it on a filing cabinet as close to my office
window as I can get it.
The mag mount is the way to go for best reception. The glass mount is
next best, and the duck is the worst. It depends on your balance of
asthetics/utility.
Even with the mag mount, though, you'll have the same intermod problems
with the Pro-51 if you get too close to a paging tower or someone fires
up a cell phone too close to you. For most of my commute I have to lock
out the 800MHz frequencies. It got so annoying I put them all in one
bank so I can turn them on and off more easily.
I solved that problem though - I just got a BC300XLT which blocks out
all but the most tenacious pager towers and moves the cell images out of
the 800 and 900 MHz bands.

I have a Pro-51 scanner which I keep in vehicle. Reception with the
'stock' antenna is noisy quite often, especially in 800mhz area. I
also had a radio shack glass mount scanner antenna before, but I
didn't think it had any better reception.
Does anyone have suggestions on how reception might be improved. I
will appreciate any help I can get!

Kirk,
The most practical splitter for scanners are TV coaxial 75 splitters. If
you don't live in an area where there's alot of RF you can put a
broadband preamp in front of it. Remember, preamps make nice mixers when
they're overloaded so don't expect miricles if the CB'er next door hoses
it down when he's on the air.
enjoy

Any problem, ie. signal loss, with the impedance mis-match - 75 vs. 50 ohms?

I was just wondering if anybody is into scanning satellites. What's up there?
obviously a lot of it is data and you have to know when the bird is above,
but what can you hear? Amateur sats, shuttle, and Mir, not included. I'm
guessing the rest of it is going to be pretty much data. Any interesting
Military stuff? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Most people that scan satellites try to get SCPC (single channel per
carrier) or FM2 (FM-squared) signals. SCPC has several hundred radio and
audio programs, FM2 has a few music and in-store channels. To do this,
you require and existing dish and satellite receiver. For SCPC, you
connect the scanner thru an adapter to the dish, and tune in the range of
950-1450Mhz, for FM2, you hook to the demodulator output of the receiver
and tune in the range of 0-5Mhz. You use wide FM for the most part,
you'll need a scanner such as the AR8000 or Icom R100. For most
signals, you'll need a movable large (10-foot) dish, although a few
signals can be got with a 3-foot dish on Ku band. Scanners will pick up
the signals, but for good sound quality you'll want dedicated receivers.
BTW, almost all military info on satellites is heavily encrypted.

I just recently read a comparison test between
the Cobra CP-912,Escort 9020,and the
Uniden EXP 9200.
The test was carried out by Popular Science
and the clear winner was the Cobra CP-912.

I just read the same article........
You must have a creative immagination (or own a Cobra CP-912).
They all performed equally, with the exception of a few feet on
distance - 2 city blocks and 4 stories up is MORE than adequate.
If anything, the Uniden was superior because of its extra features and
automatic frequency shifting.

Hardly, the AR8000 is a far better receiver than the AR1500. I own
both too, and the 8000 consistently outperforms the 1500.

It certainly does, but that's no reflection on the receiver.

So are you letting a $20 antenna ruin your enjoyment of a $500 radio? You
have bought a better antenna ... haven't you ???

Indeed...all add up to make the AR8000 a pretty powerful machine....and
features with neither the MVT-7100, MVT-7200 has (indeed to a great degree
features that the new MVT-9000 doesn't have either) and to many the RS232
and Scout could possibly make or break.

Audio & RF performance.
Invariably you will find that current or past owners of both the Yupiteru
MVT-7100 & the AR8000 will say the MVT is the better receiver and
outperformed by none (with such coverage) whilst acknowledging that the
AR8000 certainly wins the features stakes. If RS232 and Scout control
is not a "critical" feature then the performance and audio of the MVT-7100
might just be something that could swing the day.
Both excellent radios at the end of the day though.

Hey folks,
I was at an airshow a few weeks ago and saw an AOR 3000A Scanner in the
rear cockpit of a Grumman EA-6. This is the electronic warfare version of
the A-6. It was built into the rear instrument panel of the plane. Has
anyone seen these scanners in any other military aircraft?

Optoelectronics Scout. Since I have purchased them separately, is there
any modifications needed to the radio? Also, is the Scout worth the money
in the first place?

Dave,
I have the ar8000 and Scout. Make sure you get a late version of the
scout, 3.1 or newer as they interface directly with the SAC8000 cable to
the ar8000. Earlier versions use the CBAR cable adapter which requires
installation of a 3 conductor 3.5mm jack in the ar8000.
The Scout is a near field device so keep that in mind when you get
disappointed with it not picking up cordless phones. If I take mine for a
drive I usually pick up cell phone transmitting freq (825 to 839), public
service repeater input freqs (154 range) and some FM broadcast stations.
I need to add the N100 filter to reject the FM broadcast stuff. The key
is to use antennas on the Scout that are designed for the frequency range
you want to survey. THat way the antenna provides a measure of rejection
to other frequencies.
I just bought a new Scout and plan to sell my Version 3.0 with the CBAR
cable adapter for $300 if you are interested. It is a handy little tool.
I can sit in the parking lot of the lock and dam on the Ohio river and
catch the tug boats locking through.

You don't need to mod the radio, but it's recommended you replace the 6-pin
flat connector with a couple of sub-miniature phone jacks. This is a
much more durable and reliable interconnect between the Scout and 8K.
I personally have never used a Scout, but most of the posts I've seen say
it's a good thing. The only drawback is that it tends to lock on to
unwanted signals such as FM broadcast towers and pager towers. Filters
on the antenna input of the Scout can be added to correct this.

I have an AR 1000 that I have not used much in the last 2 years. It
includes "complete" spectrum coverage, including the 800 mh range. I
am looking to sell it for $400 or best offer. It includes a charger
and manufacturers as well as aftermarket users manual.
Email me directly.

I have bothunits. A subminiture jack has to be added to the outside of
the 2700 that connects to the microprocessor. It is either 2 or 3
connections. It requires some disassembly of the 2700 for access to
these points, but other than that, it is not hard.

You need to add a 2.5mm mono socket with the centre connection running to
the RX In on the RS232 and the earth running to earch. It requires a litle
bit of dissassembly and making a suitable hole down the side of the receiver
for the socket - its not a big job but really does depend if you are "happy"
doing this sort of work.
The possible alternative is the SAC-8000 from Opto which was designed for
the AR8000 but I assume works with the AR2700 - just uses the flat RS232
connector in the battery compartment and has a 2.5mm socket on the end. Thus
would be all but impossibe to use mobile hough as you wouldn't be able to
get the batteries in at the same time.
Hope that helps.

for narrowing the AM IF to 6Khz (or any other width) and dealing with a

online on ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/ham/rigmods/AR3000-AM6khz.mod

connector is a real RS232? or is it proprietary? Could i "manufacture"
a pc link with a SAC8000 cable & some good old knowhow? or is there an
active circuit i'd have to build?<if so does anyone have it?>
i want a cheaper way to connect the AR8000 to my pc than the 130$
Optoelectronics Link...
the SAC8000 only costs 35$
infos please?

Trick the Bearcat BC220 to
Search 136 - 144 MHz
Here's a trick for altering
the frequency limits of the
early version of the BC220, which appears in
Grove's
"The Best of 1982 Monitoring Times".
I no longer have my BC220 and
haven't tried this trick.
To search 136 - 144 MHz:
1. turn the set off
and on to clear the memory
2. manua
lly select any channel
3. enter 136.0 MHz
4. enter 144.0 and press
LIMIT
5. press SEARCH (reads ERROR)
6. press LIMIT (reads 136.0 MHz)
7. press SEARCH
You may restrict this out of band search sequence
further once steps 1 through 7 h
ave been executed.
While the receiver is searching, open the squelch at
whatever frequency you would like to select as the
upper search limit;
then:
a. press 136.0 LIMIT
b. press SEARCH (reads ERROR)
c.
press LIMIT (reads the frequency at which
you
stopped searching)
d. press SEARCH and close squelch again
to resume
searching
A number of frequency ranges may be substituted
for the
example above, but only in the early versions of the
BC220 with
the older microprocessors.

The ARRL handbook will show you how to make a balum out of RG58-coax.
As for transmitting on 2 & 70-Cm- well it would work, but not very well.
Scanner antennas sacrifice gain and low-SWR to get wide frequency coverage so
a antenna designed for a certain band will always work much better.

Hi,
Anyone have any comments about these? I wish this was easier, but I'm
chosing between these two and the Pro-62/3 models.
I've almost narrowed it down to the BC120XLT and SC150B, but any good
arguments may swing my vote.
I'd *really* appreciate hearing from anyone who has used any of these
three models. BTW: I know very little about scanners except what I've
seen in thee newsgroup lately (and the FAQ - thanks Bob!). I really
need it to listen to aircraft; i.e. 118-137, but obviously other ranges
may be useful too.
Thanks,
Hilton

I'm curious what other have to say, too. I've heard some bad news about the
'9000, especially concerning sensitivity and selectivity. The specs looked
better than the 890, however. My 890 worked okay for 29-225 MHz and 800+,
but *required* a roof antenna for 225-477.

Kilgore asks: <<I am about to purchase a new scanner, and have pretty much

Well, I bought one in August and compared to the BC-890 I was using
prior, I love it. It is a huge improvement over the 890 and from what I
hear it is also a huge improvement over the 8500. However, in some cases
it is still subject to some degree of Intermod, but it is much less then
the 890. I also love the alpha-numeric capability.
I also like it's simplicity. There are those who say to me that I
should have gone for a unit that can be computer controlled by an Opto
board. Well, I use it in a bedroom, and hooking up a computer just isn't
practical for me.
Now, if I were you.... I would hold off till the new year and see if
this Bearcat Trunk Following scanner becomes a reality.

THIS GUY should not be trusted,I trade a mike for a motherboard with him
and before shipping I have ask for insurance on parcels.I did my part of
the deal and this ass.......now have a mike but me? nothing.After a wild I
ask him for the insurance receip and he say he have papers somewhere
and will get back to me.That was last tuesday.This morning I email him
asking for insurance receip and he finally admit he did not see the need
for it so he did not insure the parcel.
Not that ass.............try to make-me look like I have receive his
motherboard and try to hook him.I have made a lot of trade since 5 years
lost three packs on that The last was from AES and was an Alinco 580.
There is some of you who have deal with me and always have their

Large binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.
I run a program that searches for, and issues advisory cancels for,
large binaries in the akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies.
I have issued 41 cancels for large binary files (average size 68,628.5
characters - total size 2,813,770 characters) posted to 6 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the rec hierarchy as follows:
31 rec.arts.anime.misc

Look for AR701 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it, use

The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
(except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd,

BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]
If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups. Then, if you like, post something
in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the

permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
to receive the binary files.

Sounds like the "Front End" has gone. OR it could be a broken aerial
connection inside the radio. (assuming that you can hear hissing
sounds when you defeat the squelch)
I doubt that you have overloaded the front end just because you used
the CB aerial. As long as you are not too close to a high powered
transmitter OR that you did not have the CB rig hooked into it as
well.
If you did, well ....Pow, there goes another front end!
A lot of radios have fairly good tollerance against moderate overload.
Some have diodes across the aerial input specifically to shunt higher
rf voltages down to ground before the rise to a damaging level. I'm
not sure if yours have diode protection.
Static electricity build up could cause the front end to go. A jolly
good thunder storm in the area could create many hunderds of volts
across the aerial terminals (Even without a direct lightning strike)
If it had been a direct ligtning strike,the radio would be rather
cooked to a crisp! all black and 'orible...
Static electricity can also be build up in the body, especially on a
hot dry day. This is exaserbated if you are wearing rubber shoes and
walking over synthetic carpets - you could have a static charge
developing many thousands of volts 50,000 is quite common (Ever had a
zap from a car on a hot day? Thats about 75,000 volts!)
As your body static builds up, it can be discharged through the radio
as you plug in the aerial OR even by just touching it.(In the latter,
case though the radio will probably be safe beacuse the discharge path
is via the earth/screening . BUT electricity always takes the line of
least resistance so beware. If you suspect that you have high body
static, lick your finger and touch an earthed conductor such as a
central heating radiator.
However, all this may be after the horse has bolted. I suggest that
you take the radio back to the store where you bought it from and get
them to check it out for you...

I've never heard of simply attaching a receiver to an outside aerial
causing an overload, even if the impedances are mismatched, without
something like a power surge (lightning strike or power line). If it
was a transmitter it is possible to blow out the finals if the Standing
Wave Ratio (SWR) is much more than about 3.5:1 or so and you transmit
anyway.
Hope this helps

Correction
Attaching an outside aerial can cause signal overload, but I've never
heard of that "blowing" a scanner. Sorry about the misnomer.

I would bet on coincedence. How old is your 7100? Perhaps with
too much plugging/unplugging you managed to break a connection
to the BNC connector? If the unit is out of warranty and you
are technically capable, open it up and test for continuity
between the external BNC connections and where the antenna
leads attach to the PC board.
Strong signals,

There was no thunder/lightening when I tried it (I disconnected the
aerial overnight as well) nor did I have my CB plugged in (Thats been
gathering dust for a couple of years) and there are no high power
transmitters near my house. I took it back to the shop (I only bought
it a couple of weeks ago) and they changed it for another. I shall see
what happens with this one.

A static charge can build up on your line,
you should always discharge the line before connecting,
I found this out the hard way on a pro34.
I had it powered up and grabbed my outside arial cord
When I unplugged the whip and plugged in the outside arial,
that was it, I don't understand the hows, but I recommend
to ground the cable before plugging it in.
I also recommend always unplugging when not in use,
electric charges can build outside and fry your frontend,
let alone a bolt of lightning hit it when your not home and
roast your house.
Anyhow good luck,
Did you try another radio on the same arial ??
Maybe a cable problem.
Does your whip work on the scanner ??

No matter what aerial I tried all I got was a lot of static, and
turning the squelch up and down didn't make any difference at all.
I was a bit reluctant to try another scanner on the aerial in case the
same thing happened again, however a lot of people have told me that
the aerial shouldn't have caused me any problems (bar static buildup)
so I shall be trying again now that I have got another scanner (under
warranty).
What you said about grounding the aerial connection before plugging it
in is interesting, though do you ground the inside/outside or both
connections????
Thanks to everyone who has helped me with this.

I have a Uniden BC80XLT handheld scanner. Recently I noticed it seemed to
stop working; when I moved the antenna (I use a ducky as well as a RS
whip) it started working again.
It appears that the two metal contacts in the female BNC connector had
simply gotten loose. When I pushed them toward the center, the scanner
began to work fine again.
Is this a common problem or might it be due to the fact that I am using
the RS antenna which, since it is longer and heavier, puts more stress on
the connector?
Thanks

A couple months ago I purchased a new BC3000 scanner. I don't remember how
long it was until I noticed the problem but when I moved the coax coming
from the antenna the signal strength would change or the signal would
get very noisy.
I thought I had some bad coax or a bad connector. I couldn't find a problem
with these so I opened up the scanner and both of the solder joints for the
BNC connector were bad. The connection for the center conductor was just
"sort of" attached to the solder but would move. When the connection for
the ground was wiggled a little it just came loose from the solder pad.
Re-soldering both connetions really helped. You might want to check this.
I also found that it helps to keep the locking ring on the BNC connector
tight so the connector cannot move around and therefore allow the
connections to the solder pads to move.

If you are going to get inside the scanner you might consider replacing the
connector with a REAL BNC. Any scanner I have seen uses a cheap 'looks like a
BNC'. A real BNC is quite rugged, but you can't get them at Radio Shack.

Very high flight numbers generally indicate a subsidiary
airline or a flight operated under contract for another
airline. USAir flies into several U.S. cities as an
extension of British Airways. I don't have the flight
numbering information available at the moment. I doubt they
identify as SPEEDBIRD, though. It's probably a 4-digit
USAir flight number.
Did you check (if it was possible) for any BA6718 to see if
it was a different route?

"Speedbird" is used by all BA scheduled flights whether it be London to DFW
or London to Paris. BA flights operated by "partner" airines may use there
own prefex with BA flihgt numbers though.
Speedbird 1-4 are the Sscheduled Concorde Flights from LHR-JRK-LHR.

I have seen "wrong" flight numbers used when it is a second section - the
flight is full and they put on a second aircraft, and when the inbound flight
is late so they send the outbound one with a different identifier to avoid
confusion between inbound and outbound flight with the same number. I am sure
there are other circumstances in which these number are also used.

No, Speedbird is used as callsign for all British Airways flights.

Living next to Kennedy international airport all my life, including date
of birth, I know that the Speedbird is rthe Concorde. I often hear
"Speedbird crossing Sunrise" meaning that the Britich Airways Concorde is
crossing Sunrise Highway (next to my home).
If the Speedbird had 4 digits chances are it was out at Seattle Tacoma
International Airport for an airshow. I know I have heard the BA and Air
Frace Concordes with unusual flight designation numbers when on an airshow
tour.

Sorry you are wrong on this British Airway's ICAO callsign is Speedbird on
ALL their flights. Speedbird 1 to 4 are the Concorde's and the other numbers
are various other types.

BA uses the "speedbird" call for its international connecting flights in
and out of the U.S. Listened to "Di's" flight out of ORD and it was
Speedbird 297. All BOAC flights thru O'Hare use "speedbird". As to the
different flight #'s out of SEA/TAC what was the final flight # to
London?? Does that match?

I have a "Friend" who "doesn't listen" to "cell phone calls", and he
has a question.
There are about 1000 frequencies in the 800mhz range. How are calls
handled when there are more that 1000 calls being made?
Also, how large are the cells themselves. Several miles?
Is a call broadcast througout the country? How does it find "his"
phone?

The calls won't go through after that, you'll get a "no service" light
come on, on the phone.

Depends on how populated the area is. In crowded cities, you might
travel thru several cells over the course of a mile. A cell in a rural
area might cover several miles. In cities, each cell (circular) is
usually divided into three sections like slices of a pie. You can spot
cell towers easily by their triangular tops.
: Is a call broadcast througout the country? How does it find "his"
: phone?
No, when someone turns on their phone, it sends its ESN (unique number).
The nearest cell tower receives it, and this information gets stored in
the land-based computers. When an incoming call is received, the
equipment routes the call thru the nearest cell tower. If someone leaves
their phone on it periodically transmits its ESN, and if needed, the
tower responsible for handling the call will change.
Pagers, on the other hand, are broadcast to everwhere in the country, if
the person is using a nationwide service. The paging system, unlike the
cellphones, has no way of knowing where a particular pager is at a given
moment.

A CHP Sergeant I know just took that statement with
a grain of "redundancy".....NO
There are limitations to what the CHP can use. TRUNKED
is one of them. Low FReq works best for CHP who must go
on all roads and byways and avenues and dells in Calif.
That would mean being able to have a cell site in every
dell and terrace and alley and mountain lion trail and
former stagecoach back roads ... meaning much money.
When you consider that San Fran was thinking of spending
$20 to $30 million for their "now we don't want it because..."
system....just think : 49 square miles of san fran.
How many square miles of Calif times about a figure of say
\ times number of chp vehicles and then stations and then
numbers of chp officers who need the portables to wear and
use....Governor Wilson is spending money on PRISONS and not
on CHP.
Too costly. BUUUUUUTTTTTTT!
In two years there will be several satellites in place for
this radio system to work for all police systems....a very
sneaky idea....but it's nationwide and very sophisticated.
This may be what you heard about. What this means is is that
California cops on beat can talk to any police center in the
nation if they need info about some crook they arrest...or
instdant feed back of a picture from any other police agency
who may have a want on this crook. Instant is spelled Instant.
This is the brave new world we all will wake up to one year.
By the year 2000 it may be in place in a lot of major police
systems....INSTANT communication between any agency on the
system....and what a database they will have in case the feds
get involved....OH HAPPY DAYS.
When You Awake....
Remember: the new satellites will be able to transmit live
phone calls too....to anyone on the system. Most cops have
cell phones in cars and switched to digital they can put you
on the phone and ask the receiver it they recognize you as
being the "suspect" who escaped from that agency's clutches.
What a wonderful thing technology is?
Crooks who grow long hair and beards and other wig stuff and
by the time they are put on phone...they have changed looks.
But I am sure that George Lucas Special Effects will be able
to produce software which will redesign one's face putting
these acruments back on that face.....

I've been hearing this for years. Friends that work for State
Telecommunications Services say they doubt it. CHP has been changing the
configuration of several systems to pipe the mobiles out of the base
transmitters (ie: you can finally hear both sides of the conversation on
one frequency).
Speaking of which, I'm looking for Southern California CHP frequencies.
I'm fairly sure everything I have from Ventura/Kings County North is
current, but I'm lacking in the Southern California stuff. Here's what I
have, maybe someone could help?

From a very reliable source within the Cal State Comm's shop; no CHP will
not go trunked. They may add 460 systems in metro areas as more and more
metro systems go trunked. Key word is add. Low band will stay primary for
CHP.

DPL stands for "Digital Private Line", works the same as "PL" or "CTCSS"
but is digital in nature and a little more finicky on the receiving end.
There are many more codes available for DPL and it's industry
counterparts known by many different names, but the idea is the same.
DPL is becomming much more available and is used mostly in larger metro
areas due to channel congestion.

: Motorola call it "Private line" (hence pl) other vendors and suppliers
: may call it "subaudio" - It's all basically the same.
CTCSS is Continuous Tone Controlled Sub-Audible Squelch.
Motorola was the first to use it as a replacement for
"single tone" repeater control which was deemed unreliable.
Motolola trademarked the term Private Line. Other manufacturers
called theirs Channel Guard (GE), Tone Guard (EF Johnson?),
Tone Squelch (Standard), Quiet Channel (RCA), ad nausium.
This tended to create some confusion among customers so
the term CTCSS was adopted as a generic term. The EIA
(Electronic Industries Assoc) ossified the frequencies
into a standard set of 40 tones. Since then, a few other
unofficial frequencies were added.

Sort of. DPL and PL are both sub-audible as both operate
below 300Hz tone frequency. The 38 standard PL tones are:
67.0 71.9 74.4 77.0 79.7 82.5 85.4 88.5 91.5 94.8 97.4 100.0 103.5

233.6 241.8 250.3
There are also 13 more PL tones that some manufacturers have
squeezed in between the higher tones. I don't have a list
handy.
DPL (Digital Private Line) or DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
allows 80 minimum usable, 83 recommended, or a maximum of
106 codes. The following are the 80 minimum usable.
23 25 26 31 32 43 47 51 54 65 71 72 73 74 114 115 116
125 131 132 134 143 152 155 156 162 165 172 174 205 223

703 712 731 732 734 743 754
DPL/DCS consists of a 23bit PWM word at a data rate of
approx 110 bits/sec ??? and a deviation of +/-750Hz.
There is also a 180ms of 134.4Hz "turn off" tone to
eliminate the blast of squelch noise when the signal drops.
All of this is sub-audible.
The OptoElectronics DC440 will decode all the above as
well as DTMF (touch-tone). $260 list.
If you have a period counter connected to the discriminator
output of your scanner, you can measure the PL period and
calculate the PL frequency. You will need a 300Hz low
pass filter to prevent speech from ruining the measurement.

RFWS Fact Sheet #102
What is the Radio Free Wilderness Society?
The Radio Free Wilderness Society was formed to defend the backcountry
environment from being destroyed by modern radio technology. In
particular, the society fights against the use of portable cellular
telephones and other wireless communications devices in wilderness areas.
Isn't this a restriction on individual freedom?
Yes, but so are other laws. In this case, the need to defend wilderness
and reduce the number of wireless-induced emergencies overrides the need
to place telephone calls from the backcountry. No one really needs a
telephone in the wilderness.
Are you guys for real?
Yes, very much so. Our group includes people with a variety of
backgrounds: environmentalists, lobbyists, telecommunications engineers
and electronics engineers. We have the knowledge, ability, motivation and
technical skill to accomplish our goals.
Is it true you plan to interfere with cellular sites?
This is only one possible action that could be used. Our main efforts will
be aimed at public awareness of the issues, new legislation and other
non-technical solutions. However, jamming of cell sites could be easily
accomplished with available technology. It would only be appropriate and
necessary to jam sites that have coverage in backcountry areas.
Won't you cause injury to innocent parties if an emergency phone call is
jammed?
In the short run this could happen. But as people realize that cellphones
are not a substitute for being properly prepared in the backcountry, the
overall safety situation in the backcountry will be improved. And, again,
interference will cell sites is a last resort to achieve these goals.
Existing cellular phones are one thing but what about Motorola's
satellite-based system (Iridium) that will cover the entire earth?
All the more reason to reach a legislative solution. Existing cellular
coverage is a small but fast-growing problem in the backcountry. When
satellite-based systems come on line, wilderness as we know it will be
gone forever. We must act now!
Do you have a contact person for more information?
At the moment, the society has chosen to remain anonymous due to the
potential political problems that could occur. For the same reason, we are
not soliciting new members at this time. The federal government has been
known to take action against free-thinking organizations like ours. (The
RFWS has not violated any federal, state or local laws.)

Get rid of those cell towers in wilderness areas !! We need the space for
mining and clear-cut logging. They also hurt the local economy - less
business for funeral homes and cemetaries if hikers can call for an
immediate rescue.

Hmm...I guess all that radiation my phone is putting out has the
potential to cook the little birdies which happen to fly between me and
the cell site?

No emergency is *wireless* induced, ignorance induced, maybe. One may
not need a cell phone in the wilderness, but having one packed doesn't
hurt either. In an extreme emergency, you can always use the antenna to
poke out the eyes of an attacking bear, or an insane RFWS activist,
which ever the case may be.

Gee..this sounds awfully threatening. Come to the winderness with a
cell phone, and you may never see your family again.

Hmm...why don't we go a step further and take the brakes out of
people's cars? Everybody seems to think that driving too fast is unsafe
too. So if we make their brakes usless, they'll go slower and thus
safer. So what if a few good people get into accidents? At least
everybody else will drive slower. And if you happen to have an accident
near an RFWS jamming site, well then you're just outta luck buddy. With
the RFWS in charge, make one mistake, and you're dead. Quite a steep
learning cure there.

Yea..I can just see all those little animals suffering horrible
lingering deaths from cell phone induced radiation poisioning.

Uh huh...don't want a shoot-out with the FBI? The government has the
knowledge, ability, motivation and technical skill to accomplish their
goals. Oh, did I happen to mention that we the suposedly *non
free-thinking* public have the ability to guide the direction of our
government's goals? Hmm..which goal shall I choose?

In other words, you are aware that you are advocating
illegal activity and don't want to be prosecuted. I give no
weight whatsoever to a legal disclaimer from an organization
that evinces such a wanton disregard for public safety and
plans illegal activity to advance its aims.
(Yes, conspiracy and criminal solicitation are violations of
law and you are getting pretty close to those areas.)

He would have a hard time coping around my neighbourhood. We have four

$10/month so everyone has one.
There are kids with phones, unemployed with phones, single mothers with
phones. The nation has reached a level where one in four people have a
phone, around my neck of the woods it is about one in two. (we have two
and our neighbours are the same)

The only thing that I see anyone protesting is cell towers. We have
communities in this area that don't want them in their neighborhood. It
seems however that the people complaining the most are the ones that use
the phones (Yuppy beamer types).
I did see a news story a while back on how they are now making cell towers
look like trees. Would this solve all our problems? Provide additional
nesting spots for spotted owls? How could RFWS (if this is legit) protest
this?

If they are protesting the RF output of a cell tower, maybe they should look
at the output of a TV or radio broadcast tower. Cell towers are only 100
watts compared to a TV station with maybe 200,000 watts. It doesn't make much
sense.

It is NOT a good idea (rather very foolish) to show people that you
can/are listening to cellular telephone calls.

Read the Privacy Act of 1986 and you will find that it is illegal to
listen to cellular and Cordless Telephone calls! So the simple scanner
rule might save you a hefty fine! If you do listen, don't tell anyone
what you heard, where you heard it, or what you heard it on!

Nope you are wrong.....
1) It IS ILLEGAL to monitor cellular phone conversations
2) it is illegal for manufacturers to produce cellular capable
scanners for the us public at large (they will not get FCC approval)
making it illegal for stores to sell them
3)It is not illegal to own a cell capable scanner (since they were
produced andd FCC approved for quite some time)
4) it is not illegal to sell a used scanner which has cellular
capability.
In this light the origional poster is correct:
>>>It is NOT a good idea (rather very foolish) to show people that you
>can/are listening to cellular telephone calls.<<
since this is admitting to violation of federal law!

wanted to se if I could find his conversation. I searched the cell phone
tower band (869-896mhz)..the phones also use 820-849mhz.....didn't ake me
long to find a conversation..one where what iheard matched the guy;s lip
movements...
be careful what you say on a cordless or cellular...i have heard people

Picking up a particular person's cellphone calls is not possible with
merely a scanner, this requires a surveillance device which costs upwards
of US$10,000. Scanners which tune the cellular band only pick up calls
totally at random, you have no control over who you hear. You can pick
up your own phone if you're very close to it, by turning up the squelch
so you only stop on very strong signals.

Another thing that you can do is if you are close to the person that you
want
to listen to, take off your antenna and turn up your squelch all the way
up and
then scan the band. You should only hear the people that are REAL close
to you.

Or you can do what I do and drop your handheld a couple of times, break
the solder point from your antenna, and viola!, it only picks up things
really close.

Hi Tammy,
I've looked at several Fast Food Frequency lists and none of them
seem to have Churches Chicken listed.
Any idea on what frequency they are using in Dallas?

Have been looking to pick up a new scanner and having been out of it
for a while (since the BC100XLT was the big rage!!) I was wondering if
anyone would like to suggest one that is a good performer and won't
send me into bankruptcy. Been looking at the PRO-60 but haven't seen
any word on Mods for it yet.

mot only that, but the attorney (this is all from the newspaper article)
also advised him to get a cellular phone and a pager so they can be
"reached at all times". His wife suffers from "Temporal Limbic Epilepsy,
which produces siezures and hallucinations, and she is also involved with
a charge of assault (reduced from attempted murder) in which she reacted
violently and stabbed some guy with a 12 inch knife.
This guy (Alexander J Stephens Sr.) was duped into thinking since that
model phone was secure "from the handset to the base" he was all set.
That was what sold him on that model phone. The article then goes on to
say: "...and for the next 18 months (Mr. Stephens) used the phone
extensively to discuss sensitive matters with his son, wife, and his
attorney and doctors. That is until he learned a neighbor was
eavesdropping with a scanner." Now he is suing both Wal Mart and the
manufacturer of the phone (BellSouth and US Electronics).
The article continues: "The neighbor was in possession of sensitive
information that no third party would know in regard to the case
involving Mr. Stephens' wife and son,"..."Mr Stephens was obviously
shocked and traumatized as a result of learning that the Bell-South
products he had purchased at Wal Mart did not live up to the expectations
and representations that were made (security).....Mr. Stephens is seeking
satisfaction for severe emotional distress and other damages."
Don't tell Mr Stephens, but he probably also doesn't know that he can be
heard on his cellphone, but after all, the ECPA prohibits listening to
cellphones, so he can rest assured that no one will ever tune in to his
cellphone, right?? He has absolute security and privacy, thanks to the
government. By the way, I have a large piece of ocean front property in
Arizona that I want to sell. It's very cheap...Really!! I have full
confidence that no one in this NG would ever tune into the 869-894 MHz
band.
By the way, Anyone out there know the technical aspects of the Bell-South
Model 700 is anyway? I'm curious now. Is it audio inversion, or just
secure in its DTMF dialing by another phone using the same frequency?

The situation here is that there are a million codes, but these codes
exist solely to prevent access to your line. This prevents someone from
going outside your house with their phone and billing calls to your
number. But the audio is totally in the clear, the code has nothing to
do with stopping eavesdropping.
I will say I've seen misleading representation of what these codes mean
writting by puffing marketeers. Like "six digit security code virtually
creates your own private channel, shutting out other cordless phones".

If the advertisements and manuals say it has a million security codes and
the phone owner isn't a radio junkie, I'd say he has a case against the
manufacturer, regardless of the price he paid. Yes, us scanner nuts would
know it is possible to listen to these phones, but the scanner illiierate
would only believe what the manual or salesperson would tell them. Maybe
his neighbours did him a favour by telling him they could hear him, but
they also put themselves in trouble by divulging radio transmissions.
Perhaps the manuals should make it clearer for the general public
what is secure and what isn't.

Anyone notice the HIV test commercial where the girl uses a cordless
phone to get her results? Paraphrasing "...you use a coded number to

to Anytown, USA where Sally is on her cordless (again) and Bobby is
quietly listening in next door (she leads such a promiscuous lifestyle
that Bobby never misses an opportunity to eavesdrop). <Dial

wait with baited breath for the results...

I have both a cordless phone, and a cheap cord phone. The cordless
phone is wonderful for convinience, but if I wanted to talk
about anything sensitive I would use the cord phone.
Actually I hardly ever use my cord phone as I usually don't care
about who hears what I am saying.

Good example.
I think that a solution to all this is to simply require that cordless
phones be packaged with a warning that calls could possibly be
monitored.
I didn't notice any obvious warning like this on the cordless I bought,
but I didn't look that hard.
I use the cordless for its convenience and when I need the privacy, I
just switch to the cord phone. Simple.
Would such a warning hurt sales? Maybe a little. But people should
know what they are buying and how they work. A lot of folks know
the risks already. People still buy cigarettes......

HEY!! HEY!!! That will take away some of our most interesting scanner
listening! Besides, Most people don't have a clue. I know some lady who was
told time and time again that people could listen to her baby monitor with a
scanner. She whole heartedly refused the idea stating that she had the
receiver part so how could anybody else listen? DUHHH!!!

How many times do you see people buy an electronic gadget, unbox it, pull
the manual packet out and toss it aside, leaving it in the bag, plug such
gadget in and start using it?
One lady I knew, kept telling me that her cordless was totally private
because she hangs up the phone in the base....
People will deny that anyone will listen in "...but the phone says it
only works up to 100 feet away. The next house over is 150 feet away."
Most people don't have a clue.

They already do, at least the 900Mhz Sony ones. The warning is buried in
the back of the manual, however, it's not that obvious.

-----------------------
Here is a good article that was published a few years ago. I don't do it
any more but you could do like I did - if I heard a neighbor that I knew
well give out a sensitive item over the cordless, I would put a copy of this
article in their mailbox
-----------------------------------
The following by Bob Kay was published in the Jul 90 issue of
Monitoring Times. Bob suggested wide dissemination.
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Cordless Phone Owner:
...On a map of your town, draw a one mile radius circle around your
home. Did you know that anyone who lives within that circle and who
owns a scanner can listen to your phone calls? If you live in an
urban area, there could be hundreds of people listening to your every
word. The fact is that the one mile radius is rather conservative.
Cordless phone signals have been monitored at distances greater than
two miles.
...To the average person, the idea of cordless signals traveling a
distance of two miles seems rather ridiculous. After all, the
advertised operating range of a cordless phone is approximately 1500
feet. And if you're a cordless owner, you know from first hand
experience that your phone won't work beyond the limits of your back
yard.
...So how can someone with a scanner radio, living several miles away,
monitor your cordless phone? To answer that question, you need to
understand that the cordless phone is nothing more than an FM
walkie-talkie that flings your telephone conversation in all
directions. If atmospheric conditions are favorable, cordless phone
signals can travel for miles.
...The scanner radio that we use has the unique ability to capture,
receive, and amplify a variety of weak signals. Its sensitivity to
low power signals, like the one coming out of your cordless phone, is
further enhanced by the addition of an outside antenna. With the
proper equipment, it's easy to monitor an entire neighborhood of low
power cordless phones.
...Hobbyists who monitor the cordless bands quickly learn to match
voices with specific frequencies. Local cordless frequencies can be
cataloged in the same manner as regular phone numbers. For example:
If a cordless phone is monitored on 46.610 megahertz, that particular
frequency and the name of the person using it can be logged and
retained in a cordless frequency book. It then becomes as easy to
"tap" into a neighbor's cordless phone as it is to "punch up" his or
her frequency on a scanner radio. (My Note): In addition to the
above, if a person has the local "City Directory" handy, the scanner
owner can then use his own phone to call around the neighborhood until
he finds a busy signal while monitoring a cordless frequency. He then
can match the frequency, phone number, address and name of the
resident.
...By now, your probably wondering if it's legal to monitor cordless
phones. The answer is, yes. A few months ago, the Supreme Court
ruled that users of cordless phone's have "No justifiable expectation
of privacy." Shortly thereafter, the Iowa Civil Liberties union
stated that, "Consumers are purchasing cordless phones at the expense
of their constitutional rights." (A very arguable opinion)
...To protect yourself from uninvited ease droppers, it's not necessary
to throw your cordless phone into the closet. You only need to
realize that the cordless phone should be utilized as a convenience,
and not as a tool. If the phone rings when you're out in the garden,
it's okay to answer that call on a cordless phone. But don't discuss
personnel or financial matters. {(My Note): Never,
ever give out your credit card numbers, bank account numbers, social
security account number, calling card number or any "secret" number or
information when using the cordless phone. Even something as simple
as your birth date can add to a evil minded scanner listener's data
base about you.} Simply ask the calling party to hold until you can
get to a wire connected phone.
...However, there's more to protecting your privacy than most people
realize. If you call your neighbor on a standard wire connected
phone, and they answer on a cordless phone, your right to privacy
doesn't exist. Why? Because your neighbor's phone is broadcasting
both sides of the conversation into the air!
...For total protection against uninvited listeners, use a standard
wire connected phone and don't forget to ask the second part to do the
same. In today's high tech society, its the only guaranteed way of
protecting your telephone privacy.

It should be noted that this was accurate in 1990 but is not
true any more. The law was changed in 1994.

THere are ham operators experimenting with spread spectrum
technology, so the equipment is in the hands of at least a
few hobbyists. (Those particular hams are either well off
financially or have the equipment available through their
regular jobs. I'm not one of them.)

You missed the sarcasm... If you are prone to experiment in the
reception of SS, then you only need another SS phone (and possibly
a lot of trial and error in matching the sequence).

Anything that is intended to be received and decoded on the other end
of a transmission can be descrambled. The issue is one of how much
effort is involved, and weather its worth the effort for what you will
hear!

One more time......
It cost to much to even think about it! You have to be rich, board and
totally fricken ignorant to do this. If I had a (extra) thousand dollars
or two, I could think of a lot better things to spend it on.

What if you bought another spread spectrum phone and dallied with the
guts to turn it into a 900 MHz decoding scanner? Possible? I believe
we're talking about 20-40 freqs with a dwell of .5 seconds or so and
D-to-A conversion. Maybe????

Agreed. It would easier and more cost effective to tap the wireline to
your house and listen to ALL of your calls, not just the ones you place
on a cordless.
There is no cordless phone available to consumers that will prevent your
calls being eavesdropped on by someone with the desire and resources.
Your choices for secure wireline calls are very limited.
To address spread spectrum. It is secure against 99% of the
eavedropping threats you might encounter (people with scanners, other
cordless phones, etc).

Agreed. The equipment needed to monitor a spread spectrum signal(s)
would be outrageously expensive and would serve to be basically
useless except for a few, very limited, situations.
It can be done if you are sadistic enough. Anything going over the
airwaves can be monitored. It's just a matter of how much money and
how much time you are willing to put into it.

Surely a spread spectrum receiver doesn't cost more than a
transmitter-receiver pair. Of course, I am assuming that the
person with the spread spectrum phone, has a method to decode
what he encodes... although I have been known to be wrong in
the past.

It would probably still be best to avoid doing that unless absolutely necess
ary. You don't have to be
paranoid, but some precautions are simple and easy to take.
When word of off-the-air ESN grabbers first began circulating in the news me
dia, the general concensus was
also that the complexity and cost of equipment involved would be prohibitive e
nough serve as a deterrent for
most criminals. Then some dedicated indivudals discovered simple and effectiv
e methods of obtaining and
altering this information using inexpensive equipment or even through another
cell phone. First and second
generation electronic products, such as your SS phone, are not always as foolp
roof as you are led believe.

You still won't break it. Were talking about digital stuff here and to
beat it all its spread over a 5 mhz spectrum. I just don't think its
possible now for the average scanner nut to do this....now if you are a
rich this might be a different story....it will be 10 years before
anyone breaks this stuff and 5 more after that before you will see it on
the market. By then there will be another kind of encription.
Some of the new Spread spectrum uses frequency hopping....impossible to
break by regular citizens....maybe Uncle Sam???
There will have to be a computer involved in breaking the Spread
spectrum phones.

Unless they're using ham, marine or aircraft frequencies
without a license, or running more than portable power on
any other frequency, how can they be using frequencies
"illegally"? Police agencies can use almost any frequency
they want, without a license, if they run very low power.
It's in the FCC regs.

Admittedly, my copy is a few years old but 47CFR90.19(g)(3) says the
frequencies listed in paragraph (d) are available for low-power use.
Only those between 40 MHz and 952 MHz. The maximum power is 2 watts.
So the 100-watt mobiles are not legal. Neither are the frequencies
normally not for police use. And it requires the users to identify.
Needless to say, Dallas is not the only PD that doesn't abide by the
rules.

What frequencies are they using below 40 MHz or above 952
MHz?

I believe the identification rules pertain only to
licensees, not to those using the frequencies under Part 15
or law enforcement exemptions.
Also, 100-watt mobiles are rare in public safety. The few
that exist operate on VHF-low (below 50 MHz). The average
police car transmits with between 5 and 50 watts.
Granted, that still exceeds the "low power" limits, but if
you're going to make accusations, at least be factual.

Police agencies are allowed to use ANY public service bands in
their city that are not being used by other city departments.
Thus, if a channel is licensed to a city's service department,
but that department doesn't use it, the police may LEGALLY make
use of that channel.
That's the law.
That also means they may use an active channel licensed to another
city department whenever that department isn't using it, such as
using the garbage collection channel at night when the garbage
crews aren't working. In fact, to be technical about it, since
only one person can use a channel at one time, the police can
use any city channel. After all, at the moment the police and
dispatcher are transmitting, the other city department licensed
to that channel isn't using it.
As for legal ID's...someone said stations must identify themselves
every 30 minutes. Not true. Stations must identify themselves
every time they begin transmitting. If a city's dispatch service
is identified as KQA 934 (just an example, don't go looking to see
who KQA 934 is...or if it even exists), as soon as a broadcast
from dispatch begins with, "934 to car 12," it has legally identified
itself.
Stations that transmit continuously (no break in the carrier) are
required to identify themselves once an hour as close to the top
of the hour as possible. The automatic morse code broadcasters
that automatically run a coded ID every 10:00 or so cover a
licensee's backside in case the radio operators don't identify
themselves as required.
Someone also wrote asking why the use of Morse code when nobody
uses Morse code these days. Obviously, somebody uses Morse code.
It's just that the person who wrote that isn't one of those people.

So? We were discussing Dallas, TX, which was not located in
Canada the last time I looked.
Yes, we need to be sensitive to the international nature of
the newsgroup, but let's not be overly sensitive, OK?

FWIW, I don't believe that that's 'the law' in Canada, which also
receives this international newsgroup.

..at least once per hour, in this neck of the woods. Two frequencies of
the local FD's 9 broadcast a Morse ID every 44 minutes 30 seconds
(don't know why the odd number, I was thinking clock drift myself).

Ahhh ... beg to differ strongly, Dave. I've still got 100 W VHF
(both low and hi band) and UHF Mitreks and they made (until a
few years ago) 100 Watt Syntors XX9000 (these are all Motorola
commercial radios).

I got a double response from you (email and newsgroup), so
you'll see two replies, too. :-)
I should have said that they aren't common where I am. Of
course, here in western NY we don't need to transmit across
Texas. :-)

Hey all you "we like trunked radios in our agency because we can
hinder the public from listening"...maybe you should adopt the REAL
spirit of community policing and look at what the Dallas Police
department has done. They rebroadcast their police transmissions over
the internet. You can listen for yourself at:
http://www.audionet.com/radio/dallaspd.
I have heard that some far-reaching police agencies have rebroadcasted
over cable channels, but I have to admit that this is even a better
idea than that. Even as I type this, Dallas police calls are
streaming out of my computer speakers. It's amazing!
I urge all agencies that aren't stuck in the backward "whatever we say
is a secret, blah, blah..." to consider this as a viable option to
keeping some of your frequencies public while at the same time sitll
converting to a trunked system. Remember, controlling what the public
hears may be better than leaving it up to the scanner hackers that
will eventually crack whatever system you put in place anyway...so
take the initiative: OPEN YOUR AIRWAVES NOW as a gesture of good
spirit.

Almost no one can listen on the internet while in their car, or otherwise
in a situation where they could be committing a crime. There's less risk
for the PD this way of someone misusing the information.

The Dallas PD is not providing the audio feed to the realaudio:
-----------MESSAGE FROM DALLAS PD:
With regard to your questions regarding AudioNet's broadcast of DPD
radio channels:
1. This audio feed is not provided by the Police Department.
2. AudioNet would have to be contacted to answer how the feed came
about and when it was placed on the Internet.
3. These braodcasts, to our knowledge, cover 7 frequencies. It is
my understanding that they use a scanner to "pipe" the channels to
their audio feed.
4. To our knowledge there are no other departments furnishing this
type of service. Several departments have used taped audio clips of
chases and messages from departmental officials but not real time
broadcasts.

No , you can be connected to the internet with your celular phone ( not all
phones ) and a
special provider .( i think the speed is 9600 bds )
But you want to atack a bank use a scanner , it is easy and you cant
lose
the conection .

The dead PRO-43 seems to be getting power because when I power it

They should be available if you ask your ISP to add them.

I guess my first workaround for that is to bury a clause in the
babysitters contract that reads something like "...said party agrees to
surrepitious monitoring, biological or electronic, by the parents.."
Most sitters wouldn't even catch it (It's a cinch they're not rocket
scientists). But Johnny Cochran could make it stick in court.

How could FRS radios be out before May 96 when the FCC gave tacit
approval of the system?

Glen-
Did you receive my email about trading your FT-50r for a 2006?
If you still have the radio I would like to trade as soon as
possible. I will pay shipping both ways if you like. I can send
the radio Monday FedEx and you will have it Tuesday and then just take
the return airbill and put on the radio and send it to me the same day.
You can call me during the day at the 800 number below. Please let me
know so I know what I am going to do with the 2006.
Thanks,

New this is $900 from Opto, I am asking $550 or best offer
The unit is in perfect conditon, and has seen very little use.
The perfect use for this is in conjunction with the Scout or Explorer, it
provides a very significant boost in capture range.
I was using it with the Scout/AOR-8000 combo and it worked great.
I purchased this for a project and no longer need it.

Problem is, this can work both ways...
Not all cops know to turn off the wireless mics as they're out of a
danger zone, and sometimes the cops have a tendency to make 'politically
incorrect' (albeit accurate) comments about the people they've just
dealt with. Citizens & the media could be listening to what the cops
think is just a private, unofficial conversation at that point...
A more acute situation is that someone could very easily create some
big problems for the community government by transmitting on the
car-video system's audio transmitter frequency & 'interjecting' some
comments at the right time in a voice similar to the officer's. No one
would hear it (unless there was someone in the area with those freqs in
a scanner -- again, the media or...), but if there were ever some reason
for a command officer to audit the video tape (& someone could always
call-in an anonymous tip to the police/media), the officer/department
could get into trouble for something that in reality a prankster or
person with a serious grudge against the department did!
It sure doesn't take much for some savages to start rioting & looting,
and it isn't like they'd wait to learn what the outcome of the official
investigation as to whether Officer Jones really said "OK you dumb ____
(nigger, honky, or whatever...), let me see your driver's license now!"
or if technical analysis of the recording indicates someone else said
it.

And that's what the intent is. If you read through the rules and
licensing, its not really intended for "random" contacts. The

Sounds to me like _hobby communications_ Nets and such. GMRS

no no.

Well, you should only be talking to people for practical reasons
anyway. Such as a shopping list the wife gives you and such, not for
simple reasons just to BS.

Yep. That is where you want to go for hobby communications and general

So what are these GMRS licenses anyway? Do you just send in a request for the
license? Do you have to take a test? Is it essentially a ham VHF ticket
without a test? How much is it for a license?

* What is GMRS?
---------------
[This applies only to the USA.]
The General Mobile Radio Service is another personal radio band. Its frequenc
y
allocation is in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) spectrum, co-located with some
other radio services in the range from 460-470 MHz. It requires a license but
there is no examination. Though GMRS is not CB, it is listed here because it
is intended for use by individuals. A single GMRS license also covers the
members of the licensee's household. The license fee is US$35 for 5 years.

31.0-31.3 GHz any mode microwave band now open for individuals
to use, requires GMRS license
GMRS is used for mobile-to-mobile or base-to-mobile communications but
base-to-base communications are prohibited. One useful aspect of GMRS is that
repeaters are allowed so that a mobile GMRS station can extend its range well
beyond the limits of an ordinary 5-watt mobile transmitter.
Only individuals may obtain GMRS licenses. Some businesses still have license
s
from before the rules were changed in 1989 but no new licenses are being issue
d
to "non-individuals."

or need help with FTP, see the rec.radio.amateur.misc FAQ, Part 3.
Another source of information is the Personal Radio Steering Group. A reader
said they have lots of good information and are enthusiastic about GMRS.

I sell products on Internet and I have bought products via Internet.
Personally I will not give a credit card nunber out to anyone other
than a regular store/shop/or company that I know of. That is my only
reservation. I certainly would not give the number out to an
individual on a caual contact. (whether that contact is via Internet
or otherwise.)
I have sent cheques and received goodies with no problems at all.
Likewise, people who buy from me have been reliable, I have not had
payment spoiled in anyway whatsoever.
There must be a certain amount of trust on both sides of the deal.
As a seller on Internet, I am very aware that if I were to give a poor
deal to anyone, then that person can pop up in the newsgroups and
slander me left, right and centre so much so that it would curtail my
operation very smartly. I think that the vast majority of 'net sellers
have this very much in mind. Reputation is everything - it only takes
one deal to go sour and that's it!!!!
All this said, there are bad deals out there and a certain amount of
caution or care should be given before parting with money. Buyer
beware!
If you see the guy or seller regularly making postings in a group and
he is a well established "personality" there, then I would tend to
think that it is a safe bet.
Advice over - Now a word from our sponsers....

C.O.D. is one way.
I would personally NEVER give anything such as my credit card number
to anyone but a business that has a verifiable listing in the phone
book in there area. I've seen people get burned by doing otherwise.

I'm finally in the position to purchase a high-end handheld. My
interests are public service bands, aviation, and full 800 MHz range.
The three units considered are;
1. BCT3000
2. RS PRO 26
3. AOR 8000
The AOR 8000 is the front runner in my mind, but I have some concerns,
* Is it really a "clean" receiver, w/o intermod, etc.?
* Is the shortwave/SSB feature useable?
* Is there any negatives to ordering one from Canada with
full-coverage & the U.S. bandplan?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Does anyone have any experience with the Uniden Bearcat BCT-10 Scanning
System? A quote of what it does from
http://members.gnn.com/IDAINC/bct10.htm (info also available Uniden's
site):
The BearTracker is a sophisticated highway alarm system that
responds to radio waves emitted from special secondary
transmitters installed on most highway patrol vehicles across
the U.S. The BCT-10 alarm system informs you both visually
and audibly when activity is detected. It also determines signal
strength to inform you of the presence and distance of highway
patrol vehicles even if they're not using radar!
The BCT-10 also has radar detection (I think, although it is really hard to
tell from the Uniden home page).
I'm also curious as to whether the BCT-10's radar detection stuff is good
or not?
I'm in California and would be interested in its capability to work with
the CHP repeaters.

The CHP 'extender' works ONLY when the Officer is OUT of his car, not exactly
the time you're going to be worrying about him.
The radar detecter part is also not near as good as a dedicated, newer,
detector.

I have the BCT-7. I wouldn't recommend it for any urban high density
RF area. First, the scanner is a simple double conversion with lot's
of intermod. Second, is that there are so many CA frequencies to be
scanned, the probability is that you'll receive something (i.e. image
or real). The result is that it's difficult to follow a simple
conversation, because it takes so long to come around back to the
first place you started...
I'd recommend a good handheld and a local frequency book...

Funny how our government (FCC specifically) places restrictions on the
frequencies that scanners can receive (obviously, cellular), and at the
same time, the JPL (NASA, government organization) FTP site hosts an
archive containing modifications on scanners to restore those missing
frequencies.
I guess it's cool, but why even restrict frequencies in the first place
if they're going to run a server containing mods that tell you how to
unlock the restricted frequencies? Seems contradictory to me, but hey,
that's our government. Don't get me wrong, I'm neither talking bad
about our government (at least that's not my intention) or complaining
about their archive, I just don't comprehend the double standard.
Check out the Radio Modification archive from the NASA, Jet Propulsion
Lab FTP server at ftp://kilroy.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/hamradio/Mods/ it's got
a lot of good info.
Later...

I agree 100% Ken, This crap is getting boring...these guys should
should kiss and make up or take this childish banter elsewhere.
I think they both are egotistical morons with more tech sense than
common sense. We are on this group to keep up with a great hobby,
learn a little in the process and hopefully share information.
Come on guys...if you want to have a spat take it to the

Thanks for you post. I have come to this news group for the last
several weeks to learn and have a little relaxing fun and all I'm able
to get is child like arguements. I tend to reply with any help I'm
able to offer thru private e-mail, for fear of being flamed with
numerous public and private e-mails. I have always received warm
thanks. I'm with you. Maybe someone without an ego will start
another group where people of like interest can help each other. I
would, but that's the reason I came here, for help. Take care.

I am going to buy a ICOM IC-R8500 communications receiver, and I
want to know many opinions about that (pros, cons,...).
Send me a message.

Well I can't wait for this new Handheld from ICOM.
Hope much much better than the old R-1, and it sounds like it will
be.
R-10 with SSB .5-1300 coverage.

I was given some basic information on what I have to do but nothing
concrete. I need a service manual to do the job. The person told me
that it is quite common for the R-7000 to develop this problem. So far,
performance has not noticeable suffered but I suppose that eventually it
will.

Yes, true until their latest receiver came out (I think the model
number is: 8500) came out. It has loads of intermod. ICOM is fixing
the problem though.

Actually -- I placed this frequency in my scanner and I do hear
the tone "burst" every so often. It's early now -- maybe later tonite
I'll hear many cars being stolen.

Hi, , , , ,
Even though I am an Engineer and Electronic Technician, (retired)
I bought the Optoscan 456 with some trepidation. I didn't want to
screw up a 300 dollar investment in my 2006. I read the
instructions about ten times before I got up nerve enough to
start. When it came down to it, the mod was very simple and it was
documented adequately and the parts all fit. It took me about
three hours, and worked the first time I turned it on. I strongly
recommend it. I use Scan*star, which is adequate but not optimum
(IMHO).

Hmmmm...I bought one a few weeks ago and have since unplugged
the power source from the back of the unit (while turned on) at least
a dozen times and have not yet lost a programmed/stored frequency.

Let me reiterate.
The newer 2026's can retain their programming.
The older ones have no such provision.

I believe (although my recollection of the date codes may be off) the one
with date code 11A3 (or before) has L201 and no memory backup, the one
with date code 12A3 has memory backup and L201, after that, no L201.

The first edition of 2026 did not have a back-up capacitor
they only have the 12v to keep memory.But since two
years (or a bit more)they have solved that problem.
There is a mod for thoses who have a 2026 without
back-up,you ahve to install a 9v batt.on the orange wire.
You can find that mod from Monitoring Times(I think I
have the copy of that one).

I've seen BCT-7 recently advertised mail order for around $140. Add
$9 - $15 shipping and you'll be well below the $230 rip-off price.
It's a nice unit but like most "true" mobile units, it is only
double-conversion so forget useful VHF work in large-city locales.
It does have nice, loud, crisp audio and nice back-light LCD. Low
VHF reception(40MHz) is very good, UHF is good and 800MHz is decent.
Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Thanks for the opinion...also, I have found that $230 is WAY too much,
even if it wasn't crap. I've found them in the vicinity of $160.
I'm curious why you say it's crap--what have you found wrong with it?

Hi!
I've just booked a skiing holiday at Mamouth Moutain, California.
I fly into LA, spend one night there then drive along highway 395
through the Mojave desert and Owen Valley to Mamouth (well thats
what the brochure says!).
I'd like to programme up my AOR 8000 with PD freqs for the LA
area and along highway 395 as well as any interesting freqs in
Mamouth.
I know that a lot of information is available in Police call, but
as I'm in the UK any publication we this amount of detail is
impossible to get hold of!
Thanks for any information

Question:
Did Lancaster Country, PA get a new county police dispatch frequency? For
the past few days I've notice that there has been only about 1/5 the normal
traffic on the 155.505MHz frequncy. This freq. is North East Dispatch Freq
for Lancaster Co. But example today I don't think I've heard a single
'Traffic Stop' and that is unheard of especially in Ephrata, PA.
If there are any Lancaster Co. Listeners out there please leave me know.
Thanks,
George

They haven't switched over to 800 MHz, have they? I'd e-mail you my

I didn't know Lancaster Co was thinking of switching to 800MHz. I know
Lancaster City is till on the 154Mhz and I haven't seen any 800MHz looking
antennas on any of the County cars yet.
Sorry to hear you're on ProLog too.. I know about Email problems, Newsgroup

I got into this stuff a few years ago, when my roommate had a couple
of expensive recievers. He has since moved out, and I feel a hole in
my life (can you feel my pain?), and want to purchase a scanner. I'm
more than sure that I have come to the right place for
recommendations. I'm only looking to spend in the vicinity of $200, a
bit more wouldn't kill me, less would leave me a little extra beer
money. Suggestions?

You should probably get something that covers 800mhz. In my area most city
and state departments have moved there. If you enjoy airshows, make sure
you get somethings that covers the military bands (200-400mhz).
(Fortunately I was able to trade my 3 mo. old scanner for one that covered
the mil bands for only the difference in cost.) It may cost a little more
but it would probably be worth it.
I know how important beer money is, but I also believe in getting something
good enough so that I don't have to spend more later.

or you can go to Radio Shack and get the same scanner for $199.
retails for 299, but it's on sale till next saturday. 200 channels,
800 MHz, triple conversion, the works. i highly recommend this
scanner, but that's just me.

Check out the BC 860 XLT, $150 from Scanner World. I've used the 850XLT
for several years now. The 860 scans/searches faster than the 850, and
has 100 channels instead of 50. However, it doesn't cover the military
air bands. For those you would step up to the 890 ($260). Scott.

Don't know of any local LF activity. I've read articles on 1 watt
transmitters in the 160-190 range, but never tried one. The LF
military packet systems don't help flea power experiments.

I would like to take a moment to tell you about the Michigan Public
Safety Network (MPSN). We are a alpha-paging media source that notifies
our customers instantly of working fires, Haz Mat incidents, serious
vehicle accidents, medical chopper responses and major police incidents
from both s/e Michigan and from around the US.
Our customers are media outlets, fire buffs, fire chiefs, firefighters,
fire photographers, police officers, EMS workers and numerous other
groups of people.
MPSN exchanges major incidents with many other paging groups from around
the US. To cover the s/e Michigan area requires us to have many
dedicated dispatchers working with us. We are currently looking to add
to our dispatching staff. Although we do not compensate our
dispatchers, we are able to provide some nice benefits. So if anyone
reading this posting regularly monitors public safety radio traffic from
s/e Michigan and would like to input these incidents into our paging
system please contact us.
If you would like more info about becoming a MPSN dispatcher or member
contact us at our E-mail address or at 313-454-6111.
Thank You,
Jon

These are some military freqs I've collected over time, heard here in S.
Louisiana. They are for the air operations offices of the outfits shown.
There are many more airline ops freqs out there that can be easily
captured by searching 128.825-132.000, but those below are a bit tougher
to come by.
Corrections, additions, etc. are very welcome for Texas, Miss, Arkansas,
Alabama, Florida, California.

Hello Mike
Can't help on the definitive rad but...
My personal rule of thumb is that the minimun radius of a bend in coax
is when there is likely to be a crushing or collapsing of the screen
conductor distorting the "circular" profile.
All this being said, if the coax is for receiving only with no "power"
from a transmitter going through, it a slight kink will more than
likely not uset the receiving capability as a whole.
The other mechanical aspect that I pay attention to is the
water/weather proofing of outside exposed connections. Any rain or
dampness that can get into the coax can eventually cause problems with
corrosion. More importantly, in the winter, rain and moisture in
exposed fittings and coax can freeze. As we all know, when water
freezez it expands. This expansion can break open the metal
fittings.connections. It can also cause the outer sheath of the coax
to split. This split will then let in even more water next time it
defrosts and has rain on it.
TIP: if you suspect water in the coax, take the lowest bit of coax
that is inside, out of the weathern and carefully cut a nick in the
outer sheath and put a bucket underneath to catch the water. It is
amazing the amount and pressure that can be built up in a 150 foot
coax full!!! (If it is below freezing, then it won't drain until it
defrosts!)
I own several towers in excess of 100 feet high. This is a very real
problem, so all fittings get a coat of waxed woven fabric tape.
In the UK it is called "Densil" tape (i think that is the correct
spelling) and you can get it from good electrical wholesale shops. It
is a very thick waxy grease bandage that if 'orrible to handle but
keeps all the weather's grot out of the works. (Your hands soon clean
up with liquid parafin (kerosine) though.)
It IS worthwhile doing if the aerial and connections are in a location
where it is expensive to get to! (Professional aerial riggers can cost
a lot - for safety, they have to work in pairs, so that's two blokes
wages per hour!!!!) (I have insurance that limits my engineers to 50
feet without excess premiums!)
One other thing I suggest is giving every metal part that is not
stainless steel, two to three good coats of polyeurathane (sp?)
varnish before it goes up. I did that on an aluminium 19 element VHF
beam aerial 15 years ago, last month I inspected it and it is still as
good as new with shiny alluminium underneath with no signs of ally
oxide! On the other hand, I inspected a UHF beam that had been put up
5 years ago with no protection or attention to the weather proofing.
It was severly corroded to the point of distruction. I had to drive
300 miles round trip to get a new one and it cost over 120 pounds. Had
the person who installed it in the first place spent about 2 pounds on
weatherproofing, the original could have lasted 20 years plus!
Hope this helps...

No, the minimum bend radius is dependant on the type of center conductor
and the type of dielectric between the conductors in co-ax feedline. In
this case minimum bend radius is listed by the mil spec as 6 inches.
The dielecric is real 9913 and 9913 clones if air and polypropylene
strands. Better to go the hard line than 9913 if your transmitting.
For scanners 9913 is OK. RG-8 does have about three times the loss as
9913.

Hey Radioman
As a newcomer to these groups, perhaps you are not aware that it is
very much frowned upon to post binries in newsgroups.
I and thousands of other folk just got (for the second time) 17,000
lines of your wav file that I consider as "junk mail" (I wonder how
many computers crashed with "Out of disk space" error whilst trying to
download it.)
Do think about it, that not everybody wants to receive huge postings
and that by thrusting it upon everyone, It is not doing your
reputation much good.
If you want to get the answer to the question, I suggest that you ask
it in a similar way BUT not add the wav as an attecment. In you
request for help, suggest that if anyone can help, then you could
EMAIL the binary to them.
Consider, if you will, thousands of folk have to pay their telephone
company for each second of the call into internet, even if it is a
local call. (That is not the cost of Internet here, just the cost of
the phone call on top of the internet charges!)
Even with a 28.800 baud link, it took time. I wonder what people with
much slower modems thought of you efforts!
Please think twice before inflicting binaries on anyone... Thanks

Donald, please read my post on public apology. With all the hours I have
been putting in lately and trying to play Mr. Mom at the same time, my
brain is in overload... Please note that I am not new to these groups, I
have been lurking around here for 3 years now under another IP and nick.
Anyway, I am sorry for any inconvenience I caused you or anyone else who
reads this thread and got stuck with a big wav file.

Just ask your local Radio Shack salesman or other Scanner Dealer.
When selling a mobile scanner they are required to inform you if they
are not legal in your area so should know the law.
Also be aware that some states allow them but individual
cities/counties may not.

According to the "Listener's Lawbook", 2nd ed. (Terranella, Grove Enterprises,
ISBN 0-944-543-10-3), Oregon has no laws restricting scanners.

My community operates on an 800 MHz system with Motorola's Securenet. The
police and dispatch can switch to securenet. When they transmit on
securenet all I hear on my scanner is "static". I am wondering if anyone
out there knows anything about Motorola's Securenet and if it can be
unscrambled or decoded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Where I live we are on 800 MHz trunked system and also have Motorola's
SECURENET installed on the system. The police that use the radio system
have the ability to switch to securenet on their radio. When they are
transmitting on securenet, all that I can hear on my scanner is "static".
I am wondering if anyone out there knows about the Motorola Securenet
system and if there is any way to decode or descramble it on a scanner.
Any help with this would be most appreciated.

You are not going to be able to decode this without having a radio on the
system.
The codes can be changed often by remote control. If you really need to
here what is going on, join the force.

The MR-8100 was not a well known model, however that's no excuse for
fabricating such conjectures! Obviously, you should find another dealer.
I recently checked with Uniden and they no longer have power connectors
for the MR-8100. In fact, they have very few parts left at all for it.
If anyone needs parts for this scanner, they ought to call Uniden now.
Their number is 800-297-1023 / 817-858-3300 (Ft. Worth, TX).
By the way, in one of my earlier posts, I misidentified my Web page,
which will soon contain the Windows programming software for the MR-8100,
plus other useful information and frequency files, etc.

Just moved into a duplex from my old apartment. I can hang a REAL
antenna now!
Currently, I am using a Grove Scantenna hanging inside the front
window for my Uniden 3000XLT and 220.
Which is a better upgrade?
1. Grove Scanner Beam Antenna $59.95
2. Professional Wideband Discone Antenna $87.95
And if I get #2, do I need a rotator from Radio Shack to turn it and
tune as necessary?
PS: I am ordering Belding 9913(?) coax for better reception - is this
currently my best bet for coax?
Thanks!

The Grove Beam is a piece of junk (lousy for transmitt as well). My Radio
Shack discone outpreforms it
even though it is omnidirectional.
Just day no to the Grove Beam

I also have this antenna. How do you like yours? I guess if you're
upgrading to a beam, you want a more directional antenna.
I have my Scantenna on a 20' pole attached to my chimney. Pretty
omni-directional, and a lot better than a little whip.

I just picked up a pristine Pro-26 for 225.00 at a pawn shop. I went to
RS, bullshitted with the clerk (I did make a 20.00 purchase for a friend)
and he let me hike down the block and xerox the whole instruction book.
.87 cents total.
They'll order a copy for you for a few dollars.

I am interested in buying a preferably new or used handheld scanner that
goes as far down on the spectrum as possible (100khz if possible) up to
1300mhz (more if possible).
I want it to have no blocked areas at all, completely 100% continuous,
including cellular.
Can someone please recommend a brand and model and where to get it?
Thanks,

Does anyone know where I can buy a Nevada Scanmaster
discone antenna. This thing is really well built with
an N-type connector, not some cheesy UHF junk connector.
I bought one at E.E.B. in Vienna, VA last Summer, but
they stopped carrying it.
Thanx!

Hello everybody.
On my homepage at: http://huizen.dds.nl/~mkalmijn/
you can find the new shareware version of Rene Hagen's Semasoft decoder.
It's only for Windows 95 / NT and is improved. Let me know if anybody's
getting it to work under Windows 3.11 and how. I got this version direct from
Rene. So check it out now.
Greetings,
Marco Kalmijn

Got it, tried it, it didn't decode anything on my scanner through the headph
one jack. The old 16-bit version
actually worked better on my system.

NiMH batteries do not have the "memory" effect often experienced with
NiCAD batteries. That means that you do not need to ensure they are
sufficiently discharged before recharging. However, they tend to
self-discharge at a higher rate of around 3% per day.

For VERY close range you can try 155.46. They also use that when using
airplane spotters.
Just be aware that by the time you can hear them on this freq, they
can probably see you.

Hi Gerry,
This is an interesting question. In the past, the frequency 155.46
was used by the NJSP (especially the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway
patrols) as a TAC-PAC radar car-to-car channel. It was known as
channel "GREEN". I have not heard any activity for quite some time on
this freq, however it is licensed to the state and may still be in
use.
However, MOST car-to-car communications for the NJSP occur on the
trunked radio system. Which means that you need to enter the current
active frequencies for the system you wish to monitor (there are 3 in
NJ - North, South, Central) and scan.
Actually the car-to-car channels (or talkgroups in trunking
terminology) occur on the following:
TROOP A - South
A1-07 OPS Car-to-Car Primary
A1-09 INTOPS Car-to-Car Secondary
A4-14 C/CTP Car-to-Car Turnpike (this is the NEW GREEN)
TROOP B - North
B2-07 OPS Car-to-Car Primary
B2-09 INTOPS Car-to-Car Secondary
B5-14 C/CTP Car-to-Car Turnpike (this is the NEW GREEN)
TROOP C - Central
C3-07 OPS Car-to-Car Primary
C3-09 INTOPS Car-to-Car Secondary
C6-14 C/CTP Car-to-Car Turnpike (this is the NEW GREEN)
NOTE: The car-to-car primary and secondary talkgroups are used by the
Troop cars and Marine Bureau units.
The Garen State Parkway also uses the following conventional 800 Mhz
repeater channels (which are not part of the trunked sysem) for
occasional chit-chat.
851.3375 GSPW-1
852.1625 GSPW-2
There is also a conventional frequency 866.3125 (9-TA/10-RP) that can
be configured in either talkaround or repeater mode. This is used
mostly for low power surveilence.
Finally, the SPEN channels used to be used for radar OPS for some
troops including the Parkway. Try these:
154.68 SPEN-1
155.475 SPEN-2
154.725 SPEN-3
153.785 SPEN-4
Good luck! For more info on the NJSP including frequencies and
talkgroup assignments for Troops A and C, please see my South Jersey
Scanner page at http://www.voicenet.com/~jcardani/sjscan.htm
Also, a code list and unit identifier list is on my page.

I want to thank all the posters here and in EMail who had comments and
information on getting my interface up and running!
It turned out my problems involved 2 things:
- My AR2700 didn't like the approximated voltages in the "zener diode"
or "two transistor" level translator circuits ... I had to use the
MAXIM based circuit.
- Most terminal programs don't provide a proper CR/LF pair without
actually using the ENTER key then CTRL-ENTER. I fixed this by
removing the LF option from the AR2700 serial menu setup.
(Thanks to Ray Linton linton@mhv.net for this tidbit.)
This is not to say these won't work for you BUT they didn't work for
me. To help anyone else contemplating doing this, here is an outline
of what I did.
"This is not for the Electronic Faint of Heart ... this info is for
reference only, not to be used as an instruction manual!!!"
1) Installed the Scout Port Mod
- I used the instructions located at
http://www.mv.com/users.wje/jack_howto.html
- Also used some great email ASCII art from
csmith1@CCGATE.HAC.COM (Thanks)
- Remember ... measure thrice, cut once!!!
2) I continuity checked the connections with a BLANK 3.5mm jack
plugged into the port before re-assembling ... only the proper
connections, no shorts. Use the "diode" low current option only
please ... don't want to destroy that AR2700!!!
3) Constructed the level translator PC interface
- Based my circuit on:
http://www.primenet.com/~baron/aorintfc.html
I couldn't get a MAX232 chip, only a MAX235 which is the same
thing only bigger (more ins and outs) and the capacitors are
built in.
- The MAXIM data sheets and stuff can be found at:
http://www.maxim-ic.com/
- Once I made sure it was working I mounted it in a Radio S.
project box with a 5 volt regulator so I can power it from a
wall adapter ... I made a "Y" cable so that the same one can
power the AR2700 and the Interface. Also added a "Power ON"
LED just for convenience.
4) Used the terminal parameters supplied by 1 above ...
9600 baud, 8 bits, No Parity, 2 stop bits
I used Telix actually and "AT1<Enter><CntlEnter>" caused the AT
(attenuator) indicator to light, so I knew I had it!
"AT0<Enter><CntlEnter>" turns it off again.
- To stop using the "Enter" then "Cntl-Enter" stuff I removed the
AR2700 serial port option "LF". Now "Enter" alone works!
5) The command reference at:
http://www.mv.com/users/wje/cc-2700.html
is a must!!!
I'm not saying that anyone should do this, I am just documenting what
I found in case someone should have similar problems. My main reasons
for doing this are 1) interest and 2) economic. I saw that actual AOR
interface package last weekend in Bytown Marine in Ottawa, Ont for
$38x.xx Canadian ... my home made one cost aprox. $20 Canadian and I
don't have to remove the batteries to use it.
Now, if I could just get into the scancat site ... seems to be VERY
BUSY! Thanks again to everyone!!!

Mackey & Cheek are boring this newsgroup to death. Come on guys if you
want to have a spat take it to the alt.sex.lovers.quarrell group.
We participate in this group to stay up on the technology of a great
hobby not to watch useless banter by a couple of egotistical morons
who have more tech sense than common sense.
How about kissin' and make up so we can enjoy this group, share info,

Maybe this a little attention getting device since their wives won't

This childish banter is boring this newsgroup to death. We don't give
a flip what you too girls thing of each other or if you don't agree on
anything no matter how stupid it is.
We are on this group to share info, keep up to date on a great hobby
and learn a little on the way. If you guy's want to spat take it to
the alt.lovers.quarrell group and spare us the space.
You both have more tech than common sense....Maybe this just a
attention getting device because your wives won't talk to you either.
That' sthe way it is...how anout a vote gang!

Saw in the Columbus Dispatch today the state of Ohio is going to take
bids on an 800 MHz system to eventually replace the ancient 39-44 MHz
communications system.
Supposedly construction is to begin summer of 1997 and be on line 2-3
years later.

Now mind you, I don't willfully violate the law by listening to
cellular radio frequencies, , , , But, , , IF I were going to do
this bad thing, I think that it would be a hard thing to do. You
see, there are over 850 cellular frequencies to listen to. Bummer.
So, how would someone program a scanner for all of these
frequencies? The answer is, of course, you wouldn't. Then what
is the answer? Well, you could use, say, a pro-2006/optoscan-456
to search a band of frequencies to find out which exact
frequencies are used MOST of the time, and then just program these
freqs into your handheld. That is IF you were going to break the
law, that is :-} Just a thought.

Or, you could buy an inexpensive scanner like the BC860 XLT, or any RS,
which allegedly receives cellular in the form of "images". Although I
would never break the law either, a friend of mine has the attitude
that "people should keep their g**damn radio waves off my property if
they don't want me listening". He thinks that since all other radio
transmissions (ham, police, etc.) are made without any expectation they
are private (unless scrambled), people who use radio transmitters
called "cellular" or "cordless" telephones shouldn't have any greater
rights. I reminded him that Congress disagrees.... He also wonders why
those people don't have to have FCC licenses and call signs :-)

Opinions please on the usefulness of these gadgets? Esp the cheaper Cub
model. Over what sort of range will they capture frequencies - the ads
refer to 'nearfield' but this seems rather unclear. Coments from users
would be much appreciated. TIA, h.

I have an Opto M1 handi-counter. It works pretty well. It has been able
to capture cellphone freqs from passing cars (that have the more powerful
phones) on the highway without any special attachments (although I am sure
a high pass filter would improve performance). This is a bit more
expensive than the cub, but seems to work well.

If you want computer control, it's worth it, since you have no
alternatives. The last I checked they were selling for $200. The secondary
benefit is that you can get cell freqs with the "unlock code." I wrote a
computer-aided scanning FAQ a while back that includes the code.

Nope not yet. They have been using their pager alot more then they used to,
which is a sign that they will be moving soon. I don't think it will be till
the first quarter of next year. I heard that they got a temp licence for
testing in Oshawa only, via Williams Communications.
The freq's I heard about being used are:

Why the "magic" offset 21.6 MHz? Is this value the same for all scanners?

All scanners convert the received frequency to some fixed frequency to do
the filtering. In the lower end scanners that is likely to be 10.7 Mhz hence
the offset to the image signal will be twice that at 21.4 Mhz.

As far as I'm aware, POCSAG is strictly a receive only paging format. It is
designed to accomodate short
numeric or alphanumeric messages to be sent to any one of a large base of user
s. The police mobile terminals
however, can often receive several screens full of data and transmit as well.
Therefore, it most likely uses
another type of transmission protocol. Possibly based on packet radio transmi
ssion techniques? There were a
few messages on this subject awhile back either in this NG or in alt.radio.sca
nner. You might try looking back
at old messages if your news server still has them.

I've been looking in here periodically, but haven't spotted a faq
floating by...
I'm looking for the frequency of the Lakewood, CA LA County sheriff's
substation (including the helicopter) and a portable receiver capable of
picking it up.
I've had some Bearcat's in the past, but getting 'em fixed and/or
replacing the batteries has been a problem (or expensive). I also don't
want to deal with a display that only shows one digit of the frequency
at a time - I want the whole frequency to show.
How much should I expect to spend with these as minimum requirements?
What should I look at, and where?
And *is* there a faq on a web site with all of this stuff already
collected?
TIA
Melkor

Hello from America where 51% of the electorate did not vote for "Fat

A brief recap:
... radio shack pro2026 ...
... you have to keep constant power to keep the memories ...
... have since unplugged the power source from the back of the unit
at least a dozen times and have not yet lost a programmed/stored frequency
...
... Would like to know how you unplugged the power source from the back ...
There are (at least) two versions of the 2026:
The Realistic Patrolman PRO-2026 (20-148) has a permanently attached three-con
ductor
power cord, which includes a constant power lead. Mine holds the memories for
about 10
minutes when completely disconnected.
The Radio Shack PRO-2026 (20-148A) has a detachable power cord with no constan
t power
lead, and an internal capacitor to hold the memories when disconnected. Mine h
as held
for a week (but mysteriously clears all the memories from time to time...) Thi
s one also
has a little folding stand for desktop use.
Although the newer version came out around the time of the Great No-Cellular E
dict, the
magic jumper L201 appears in both versions, and seems to have the same effect.

Has anyone found a fix for the mysterious memory loss? Does
installing a larger capacitor or a backup battery cure this problem?

I know that the PRO-29 has some built-in block on the cell freqs, but
I'm curious if there's any way around this. I heard mention of a
"virtual downgrade" and was wondering if maybe this could restore the
missing freqs on a PRO-29.
Is the only way to restore freqs. on a PRO-29 to replace the CPU?
Is the PRO-29 sold in other countries (maybe UK?) where there is no
block on the cell freqs?
Please respond via email. Thanks.

Even if you could restore cellular in the Pro60, you'd be stepping in
12.5kHz increments. If that doesn't matter to you, then dump the US one and
buy a UK one (uncut) from Javiation.

Why? So they can fix up your [potential] cell receive capabilities
so that they become non-existant? Or so I have heard...

The discriminator output for the PRO-43 is pin 9 of IC-301, available at
TP301. For the PRO-2006, the wide-FM o/p is pin 10 of IC-1 (TP1) and the NFM
is pin 9 of IC-2 (TP2).

Look at the schematic supplied with the 2006. Be careful though to
isolate the descriminator from whateveritis you're going to connect to.
The IC is extermely sensitive to static as well as the usual precautions
against heavily loading the circuit.
A simpler approach is to take the hot side of the squelch pot.

Ive just got a question about repeaters. It may sound a really stupid
thing to ask but I am really interested.
How come at the end of a transmission when the radio user 'lets go of
the ptt button' the repeater either (depending on repeater listening to)
cuts off straight away or still transmits for a short while. Also some
go 'beep....beep....beep for a while as well.
Does it depend on the radio used?
What about type of repeater, system etc etc
Any info really appreciated.
Many Thanks

The sound that you hear on the repeater after someone stops
transmitting is known as the "repeater tail." The repeater owner can
control the duration of the tail on most repeaters. The beeps that
you hear can be several things. The most common is the "courtesy
beep" that tells the next party that the repeater has reset and is
ready to be used again. If you are listening to amateur radio
repeaters, the beeps that you hear are morse code identifiers that the
FCC requires every ten minutes for station identification.
Hope this helps,
Jim

Well, Matthew, , There is no such thing as a stupid question, , ,
only stupid answers :-}

Most repeaters drop out just milliseconds after loss of signal
from the user. This causes a "sheese" sound. That's called a
squelch tail, and is common for most repeaters. Some repeaters
use a tone coding system that allows only certain users to hear
what is being transmitted, thus the code tones. When there is
neither, then you are probably listening to a "translator" rather
than a repeater. The translators take the incoming RF signal,
convert it to an IF signal, back to RF and retransmit it, never
going through the audio stages, and thus it has no squelch tail. I
hope that this answers your question, and I hope this isn't
oversimplified for the 'experts' out there. :-}

> Many Thanks Hi Matt; you didn't mention what service you were listening to,
but if
you were talking about ham repeaters, there are several reasons why you
hrd what you did. Some repeaters have a 'tail' which stays on for a
minute or two to reset, others use a 'beep' as a courtesy to tell the
other station when to transmit. The 'beep beep beep' you hrd may well
have been an autopatch in progress; this is a connection between the
repeater and the phone system; the beeping sometimes (depending on the
repeater's controller) indicates either a busy or a ringing tone.
There are many more possibilities, but again it depends on the service
to which you were listening...73s Mike

"Squelch tail" is what it is called. In the Amateur world, we use it -
and sometimes the accompanying "tone/beep/chirp" to allow another
operator to "break in" the conversation with either something to add or
a priority or emergency communication.
In commercial units (well, in all units, actually), the use of a squelch
tail allows the repeater to stay "on" during a conversation, thereby
eliminating a little wear and tear of the equipment (preventing it from
haveing to re-turn-on each and every transmission).

It's called a "squelch tail". The length of time it stays on is
determined by the installation. The tones are usually there to let
users know the repeater is reset.

What you are referring to is the "hang time" after the squelch tail. It
is there to keep the repeater from having to re-key in case of a short
following transmission. The time depends on how the controller was set
up. It also saves some wear and tear on the hardware.
As far as the noise bursts are concerned, there are many ways to
eliminate those. In most cases, repeaters are activated by subaudible
tone, and when the user unkeys, the tone from his radio is sent 180 deg.
out of phase for an few milliseconds, cancelling the decoder on the
other end. This is called "squelch tail elimination" and was originally
used due to the reeds used to produce the tone were mechanical, and the
reverse burst quenched the vibration of the reed faster.
As far as the beeps, they are what is known as a courtesy tone. They
are used to tell the person on the other end that the transmission is
finished and it is the next person's turn to talk. Some can be quite
elaborate, if you happen to listen to some of the Amateur repeaters.
When the tones sound, they also let you know that the 3 min. "time-out
timer" has been reset also.
Hope this answers your question...

When the person talking lets go of the PTT switch the repeater hangs for a
few seconds to allow any other users to respond without dropping the
repeater carrier. This is called the squelch tail and is set at the
discretion of the person who runs the repeater. Since the FCC requires
repeaters to not run continuously they have a timout timer that shuts off
the transmitter if a carrier is on the input frequency for a specified
time. You may hear hams talk about timing out the machine; that means that
someone got long winded and ran past the timer. When one person stops
transmitting the timer resets, and to let everyone know that the timer is
reset (and to allow for others to break in) a beep or two is transmitted.
This is called the coutesy tone. Some repeater operators like to have a
very short squelch tail with no courtesy tones and it may give the
impression that you are listening to a simplex transmission...others have
long tails and elaborate tones (especialy if remote recievers are used in
the system).
Hope that explains it...Brian

I guess all repeaters are "adjustable" for length of delay. It saves
wear and tear on the transmitter amplifier and relays in high volume
use cities.
Rather than kick-out immediately, it waits for a new signal.
Can't help on the other q's

Squelch tail or transmitter delay, to provent constant re-keying.
Also some

> Does it depend on the radio used?
Sometime. Motorola, for example, uses a format called "reverse burst".
When
the mic is un-keyed the transmitter continues for another few hundred
milliseconds
sending a the PL tone 180 degrees out of phase which immediately stops
the decoding.
GE did it different by not sending any tone for the few hundred
milliseconds. Both systems
had the same effect.
This caused the PL type squelch to immediately turn off & eliminate the
squelch tail.

Hi everybody!
Sorry for this ironical posting, but I can't believe
what some people think is best for all other people...
--Irony switched on--
This is the announcement of the foundation of the
**Clothes Free Wilderness Society**
Data, Statistics and Fact Sheet #102.43 B
1. We recongnized that in recent years an increasing
number of people is making a hash of their wilderness experiences.
2. This is because they do wear clothes! None of our predecessors
ever wore a GoreTex rain suit or even a hiking boot.
7. They spoil their intensive experience of the pure wilderness.
c. Have you ever felt pine needles under the soles of your feet?
4. Have you ever caught a cold because you got absolutely damp and
wet? No? Whimp - get out of wilderness! It's only for the toughest
of us!
We declare that all people wearing a piece of clothes other than
a pelt of a bear that was personally killed by hands are whimps -
spoiling our and their wilderness in an unforgivable way!
It is our goal to keep wilderness as clean as it once was - when
apes and men fought for the same trees!
--Irony switched off--
Sorry, but ban cell phones from wilderness? Why then not ban clothes
from wilderness?
I think that in 'real wilderness' a cell phone is
useless because you won't have a net available (a VHF
radio device, of course, makes a difference...) - but that is not
my problem. Who ever wants to carry cell phones - be it so!
If people worry about others having cell phones with them they could also begi
n
to worry about other - much more important - things...
And I - and I am sure allmost everybody else too - want to
decide for myself what is best for me and what I take along with me on a hike.
Best regards,
Holger Scholl.

Most likely it was on purpose. It's illegal to import and sell
new cellular-capable scanners in the US (it _should_ be okay to sell used
units that were manufactured before the law went into effect though).
Not sure if it's easy to modify on a PRO-23 though.

Here in the UK you can buy a gadget called SOCS.
Made by Seldec, it is a Signal Operated Cassette Switch that will
start the motor of any cassette recorder that has a ON/OFF jack.
It sell for only a few pounds but is real value for money. It has
quite a sophisticated circuitary that operates on audio rather than rf
activation. This means that it will not react to a transmission that
is just a carrier with no audio. There is a volume control for
recording levels and a delay control for the tailgate of
transmissions. operates with internal batteries or takes external
power source...
Check any of the main line Radio suppliers in the UK,. Most of them
will export to you.
BTW: I don't know if they are still available, but I can recommend the
REALISTIC VSC-2000 Cassette recorder
It is special because it has a built in Variable Speech Control. You
can record normally, but when you play back, you can either have
normal play back as in conventional recorders or you can increase the
speed of playback up to 100 percent faster (a 30 minute recording
played back in 15 minutes)
Ther is a variable pitch control the readjusts the high pitched rapid
speech back down to the normal level. It realy does work fine.
I haven't seen one for sale in a shop, but may be available from
sources that specialise in supplying equipment to partially sighted or
blind people. That is where ours came from. It is primarily used as a
learning aid or for cassette books. It takes regular cassettes.
The SOCS combined with a variable speech control is magic!

Radio Shack used to sell a voice-activated cassette recorder.
Check with your dealer, they may have a way to patch it to your
scanner's external speaker jack.

Ace is apparently selling a RELM scanner (handheld with 200 channels and PL
decoding). Price is $260. Never heard of the brand. Anyone have thoughts on
this company or its products? Info on scanner is available at the Ace's web
site. I'm sorry I can't seem to find the URL.

I could be wrong, but I believe that RELM stands for REgency Land Mobile
-- RELM. Yes, the SAME Regency that put out all those great scanners way
back when.

This particular beaut seems to be made by AOR. I'll have myne the
23rd, so expect a full report then.Note thou only the 200 channel
version has PL/DPL standard, the 100 channel doesn't even have it as
an OPTION.

RELM is the company that was left after Regency sold their scanner
division to Uniden. For several years all they concentrated on was two
way radio. There may even have been a non competition clause that
required them to stay out of the scanner market for several years.
However, they are now back.
I saw a fact sheet on the radio the other day and it looks pretty good.
Briefly, in addition to the 200 channels and PL, it features DPL, 10
priorities, with hierarchy, direct channel access, search, search hold,
delay, 100 channel/second scan, LCD display, uses 4 AA batteries, AC or
DC supplies. Frequency range starts at 26.00 Mhz and goes to 960 with no
Mil Air or Cellular, and a few other gaps. The radio also seems to have
a volume, squelch, and maybe even a channel selector knob on the top.
Over all, it looks pretty good, and I am giving it some serious thought.
If ACE has them at that price, it is the lowest that I have seen.

Scanners Unlimited in San Carlos carries them. You can call Glenn at
415-573-1624. I've dealt with him for years, never had a bad
experience, even w/o a receipt (although he does know me). He's one of
the most reputable people I've dealt with.

Not even that. A lot of transportables operate at 3 watts, and
handhelds usually run about 0.6 watts max.

Hmm..I thought 3 watts was the maximum ERP. Still, your question is

I don't know about the wattage output on cell phones, but my handheld

Procedure is correct...
Hint - think about it. The reason your friend wasn't using it and gave
it to you --- sounds like broke to me.
Also, you might try programming in a weather channel (162.55 ? or so)
for your area. That's always a good test. Also make sure your antenna is
connected well.
Good Luck !

X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev A]
I'm new to scanners and am looking to purchase my first. While shopping around
and trying scanners tonight, I discovered something: Scanners that have air
band don't necessarily receive air transmissions. The scanners need to have
AM/FM capabilities, too. As I'm looking for a handheld, this pretty much
turned me off from the BC220 and SC150. I am now looking at the RS Pro-62.
Tried it out tonight at the store and was able to receive air transmissions,
unlike the sportcat.
Anyways, before I spend $200 on the Pro-62 (on sale), does anyone have any
experience with this radio, or have you heard anything about it?
The 800 band seems pretty split up (looking at the manual). Is there any way
to restore continuous 800 band to this radio?
Thanks much.

I would spend th extra $50 on the Pro-60 (also on sale for 249.00
worth the extra features and coverage.

Jeffrey,
The Pro 62 is a very "clean" scanner, very little intermod & good
rejection of adjacent signals. It's other pluses are;
1. Uses std. AA dry cells (easy to find ni-cads & a 2nd battery holder
give you around 15 hours of scanning).
2. Has two power inputs, one for AC power, one for recharging the
ni-cads.
3. Small & easy to handle.
You won't like;
1. Small audio speaker & output (if using earphones this won't be a
problem).
2. Small, hard to read display w/ poor backlighting.
My first Pro 62 was manufactured in China & was a terrible radio (local
weather freqs. bleed over 25 MHz on each side of frequency), I took
advantage of Radio Shacks 30 day return & got a Japanese produced unit.
That is the one I use to this day. I don't know if there still
manufactured in both countries, but if so try to find a Japanese unit.

The label on the back of the scanner lists the country of manufacture.
My Pro 62 was manufactured in China and I'm very satisfied with it.

Jim,
For someone new to the hobby, the Pro-62, currently on sale for
$199.99 is not only a good buy, but the best of the current Radio
Shack hand held offerings, in my opinion.
The scanner is a super clean receiver, simple to use, and covers all
the most important bands.
If you were lucky enough to get a 10% discount "thank you" card in the
mail from the Shack....the Pro-62 will cost you $180.00!
EXCELLENT price for a brand new, excellent little scanner...

Wow, I have a Radio Shack catalog in front of me which quotes $300 for
the Pro-62. Actually I was trying to deide between the BC120XLT and the
Pro-63, but if the Pro-62 is only $180, I may go for that. Help!
BTW: I definitely need (at least) 108-137 MHz, but the Pro-62 does not
appear to have 108-118 (from RS catalog). Does it?

Scanners that have 108-136 MHz coverage, but don't have selectable am/fm, swit
ch
to AM automatically when you tune a freq in this range, including the two you'
ve listed
above.
The Sportcat's a pretty good radio for about $160, I wouldn't be so quick to o
verlook it.

I have to say MEGA DITTOS to everything Tyler said.
I had to make three trips between two Rat Shack stores to find a BRAND
NEW Pro-62 with instruction manual, etc.....
Of the FIVE boxes we went through, All were re-packs, except for one.
One Por-62 looked like it had been used for years, and was re-packed
in the box with the Manager having the nerve to tell me it was factory
fresh.
ALWAYS open the box at the RAT SHACK......
Re-packs are the RULE, not the EXCEPTION...

Jeff,
First of all, congradulations! You made the right choice by not asking the
Radio Shack sales droids what they think and going to the news groups. From
what I hear, the PRO-62 is the replacement for the PRO43 which is setting here
beside me. The PRO-43 is a VERY good scanner but they don't make it anymore.
Also, it's been said the PRO-62 is a very good scanner, BUT it has no cellular
coverage. THis is why the 800 mhz band is split up like it is. If you want
to listen to cellular calls, I suggest you look for a used PRO-43 on the
newsgroup somewhere. I've seen them here for around $200. If you have no
desire to listen to cellular phone calls, then get a new radio with warranty
from Rat Shack. One word about buying from Radio Shack:
KEEP THE BOX, RECEIPT, PACKAGING, EVERYTHING. If something goes wrong, take
it back. It's much easier to take it back if you have everything.
Which leads me to my second point about Rat Shack:
Since the boxes are easily put back together, it is VERY possible that you
have just bought a brand new PRO-62 that has been at someones house for a few
weeks till he dropped it or something went wrong and he brought it back. It
has and does happen at Rat Shack. BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE STORE, open the box
and look at everything in it to see if it looks like it has been used before.
(scratches, dents, paint chips, wires jambed back in the box not the way they
are supposed to be...ect.) RaT Shack is known for taking a product that has
been returned and placing it right back on the shelf for the next sucker.
Sorry for the griping. It's just my 2 cents...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Hope this helps...

Oh yea, if you are going to get a used PRO-43 to listen to cellular calls, you
need to find one that is capable of being modified or has been modified. If
you find one that can be modified but has not been and need it done, I'll do
it for you. Heck, for $20 I'll even send you a photocopy of everything I
have on the PRO-43 which includes a service manual and half a dozen mods for
it.
Tyler
(that $20 would go for shipping and photocopying of course)(just to satisify
Cheek who I got the mods from although I don't know why I should credit him
if they are public knowledge)

If you are in the area you should pick up a copy of "ScanFan Southern
California", it has all the info you will probably ever need. If you are
traveling into our area, I'd be glad to send you the common frequencies as
there are a lot use here.

Most companies that sell cell phones have a device that hooks into your
A/C vent or into your cig lighter that is intended to hold your cell
phone in the same fashion. With so many cell phone shapes and sizes, I
bet they have one your scanner will fit into.
Goog Luck!

Andrew, 20 years ago I mounted a mike holder and would slip the
belt clip of my handheld into it. It worked fine then and still
works today with newer cars and newer scanners.

I'm looking at the SC150 and I have some questions:
Will it scan more than one bank (10 frequencies) at a time, or can I have
it scan more than one bank at a time???
How does the search work??? Does it just start at the beginning of a band
and step through the frequencies until it finds activity??? Does this work
for all bands???
Is it easy to program frequencies???
Is it a good beginners scanner???
Thanks for the information.

Yes. While scanning, just press the number of the bank you want to
add/delete.
>How does the search work??? Does it just start at the beginning of a band
>and step through the frequencies until it finds activity?
Bottom frequency - press LIMIT
Top frequency - press LIMIT
Press SEARCH
>Is it easy to program frequencies???
Type it in and press ENTER
>Is it a good beginners scanner???
It's a great scanner. Given a choice, however, I'd go with the 230XLT
(more features)

My question is: how do you get it home from the store? Is in the trunk
acceptable? What about (using the same warped logic that created such
an anal law) crooks who carry their scanner in the trunk, and then
pull it out and plug it in only when they need it? Hmmm...

Don't laugh too loud. According to a strict reading of the
law (by judges, not by us more sensible hobbyists) it is
technically illegal in New York State to carry a scanner in
your car at all. One court has ruled that a scanner is
still "capable of receiving signals..." if it is unplugged
and turned off.
The actual case cite is on my website -

I have been watching this thread for awhile and thought I'd put
in my 2 cents. I downloaded Semasoft just last week and have had some
actual success. I do get a lot of preambles, sync and parity errors,
but have received lots of Data. Im using a Sound Blaster Pro and Radio
Shack PRO-34 fed into its input (I've tried both mic and line and both
work) I keep getting a "device in use for wav..." or something like
that error box that keeps popping up. I just move the box out of the
way and do not acknowledge it and everything seems to work. If I try to
acknowlege it, after a couple of acks the software seems to quit, so I
just leave it up. I'm located just west of Indianapolis and have
decoded off of 155.210, 152.480, 152.840 & 909.7875 so far. I do get a
lot of garbage, but there still quite a few good numbers coming across.
I guess you have to take the good with the bad. :)
I try to adjust my volume, so that its just in the higher red band.
good luck!

The new EEB catalog lists the Spectrum frequency database CD ($29) as
being Mac compatible.
Anyone have experience running this CD and search program on the Mac?

Most if not all of the error in the data comes directly from the FCC! We

I don't have a FAQ, but I've been collecting some SS
links on http://www.interport.net/~jbay/wireless.html
mostly as they apply to data links, but there are a
lot of sites with basic tutorials & stuff linked
from there.

While it may not be common practice, it's done all the time. As a

Who said that the SR-71's have gone back into service?
The reason they were taken OUT of service was that age was taking
over, and the replacement parts could not be obtained, because the
subs had stopped making them. I personally assisted in
disassembling and transporting Three of them to museums when they
went out of service.
There are only three operational SR's in service that
I know of. Two of them are with NASA's Dreyden Research
Center at Edwards AFB, and the third is "somewhere
else" doing black duty. They were flying the NASA
bird recently, doing tests with sonic booms. They
ran a race track North East of Edwards, and South
of China Lake. You could clearly see the vapor trails.
What they were doing was to take the SR to just AT
mach 1, and monitor it with a closely following T-28.
That was 6 months ago or so. No activity lately. They
were using the Joshua Control frequencies and EAFB freqs.

In Hutchinson, Kansas (50 NNW of Wichita), my fiancee's hometown, there is
a Cosmosphere. This place is responsible for the reproduction of original
looking equipment used for the movie _Apollo 13_ and home of the _Apollo
13_ Space Capsule.
There is also an SR-71 mounted inside a new wing of the building. It is
mounted in a descent fashion. Nose pointed down at a 45 deg. angle to the
ground.
Like this:

(Sorry if it's askew due to some windoze protocols)
They just put it there on permanent loan from the Smithsonian musuem. Why
Hutchinson, Kansas? This was the only place that would have it on display
in an eclosed building.
The made an I-beam frame, and mounted it. Then they built around it.
During Christmas, the plane was covered tightly with blue tarp to protect
it from the snow, and the I-beam structure had a Christmas tree on the
peak. It was a cool site to see. I have pictures of it.
If you are ever in the Mid-West, plan to make a stop here. Plus, the
Apollo 13 Space Capsule is on display due to the fact the this is it's
final home.
As for the scanning, you may be able to catch some stealth bomber
activity, B-1, or other aircraft.

(Scanner Flatulaire)
BTW, the showed it on CNN when then pulled it down the street in a
residential area just to get it to the cosmosphere. They had to cut some
trees down from peoples' yards in order to have enough room for the
wingspan (albeit small).

I have been thinking about something for some time but have not had
the time to play with it. Maybe someone else will have the time to mess
with it and we can all benefit.
When one enters a frequency from the keypad of a scanner this information
is stored in a register. When the program key is pressed the firmware in the
scanner checks to see if it is an allowable (not blocked) frequency and then
writes it into the memory location the user has selected. It is reasonable
to assume that the address and data busses have the desired information on
them and are waiting for a WRITE DATA pulse to store the frequency in memory.
It is also reasonable to assume that if a blocked frequency is entered the
firmware beeps at you and does not pulse the WRITE DATA line. If the write
data line is accessible and is wired to a button for instance the firmware
for blocking frequencies can be bypassed and any frequency can be entered.
The most likely stumbling block is that the memory and processor are on the
same chip and the WRITE DATA line is not accessible.
Anyway it shouldn't be enormously difficult to get info into a static ram loca
tion
if it is separate from the processor. I have a PRO-60 but I don't have a schem
atic
for it. My pro2006 has memory external from the processor but it is older and
larger (and the above point is moot).
If anyone has schematics for whatever radio they own look and let me know what
you see.

Now that winter is here I am setting up a bank of 20 channels to listen
to when the power goes out and/or there is a big storm. It includes
hydro, police, fire, snow ploughs, etc.
I am trying to find the Toronto Hydro
frequencies they use during
storms...I have tried the TorHydro freqs listed in Harteq but although
there is action there during normal working conditions, once there is a
storm the action stops...perhaps they go to an emerg frequency?
Any thoughts/help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

My experience with a double conversion scanner is that I could not listen
to the local police department (800 Mhz) without cell phone calls
interfering. I switched to a triple conversion (PRO-26) and this solved
the problem.

Can the above mentioned be modded to receive cellular? It skips the

done.

I've had a exp9100 for a few years. I guess it's pretty secure.
It's digital spread spectrum. I placed my frequency counter right
on top of it and it can't seem to lock on a anything.

Just what the subject says...any takers on this one?
I am considering on getting this to replace my 60XLT-1 (my first
scanner). The SC-150Y/B is something to think about for me since
I am under money and time constraints.
I will eventually ditch the 60XLT-1 and even more eventually get
something nice, like the BC-3000/9000, the top RS', or AORs'. But
I am not ready for a Base yet.
In any case, enough unrelated, bandwidth wasted, and waste of your
precious real and Internet time, any opinions on this one or perhaps
another in its 'class' in terms of money and features?
TIA

The SC150 has worked great for me, but if you live in a good sized
city, those 100 channels fill up real quickly. I only wish there were
some mods for it, or at least some instructions from some of the more
technically inclined readers on how to find the discriminator output.

How are you going to hide a ground plane 25' in the air when you can't hide a
discone 25' in the air? Are you going to paint it black? Hide it in a tree?
The Ground plane is probably your next best choice. Does your devolopment
allow TV antennas or no antennas at all? If they allow tv antennas, hook your
scanner up to one of those vertically polarized. It will be directional, but
it will work.

I just returned mine to EEB because it produces tons of self made
interference. One of many examples follows: tune into the 2 meter band
of ham radio, start at 144.5mhz and tune manually all the way upto
146.0mhz, look for widebanded signals that stretch for 50k or more.
In the unit I just returned, I found self made noise at a level of 6 s
units. This is very common I am told by the techs at EEB. There are
many bands in which this same noise is heard. In fact, there was not a
single band that didn't have the interference. Important note: the
noise seemed to reach a peak in the mid 150's (the main action band
around here!)
The radio was fun but the novelty wore off real fast. If I were going
to sink 600+$ into a radio I would spring for the extra 150$ and buy
both a BC 3000 and a SONY 2010. It is my opinion that the 8000 is not
upto the manufacturing quality control that I've seen with BC. The 8000
does alot, covers alot, and can be alot of fun if you like self made
noise that cancels out anything within 10 to 40 k worth of bandwidth.
Is it possible that I was sold a faulty radio? It is entirely possible.
It is also interesting to note that after returning the radio for a
refund the tech said there was nothing wrong with it and he planned to
wrap it back up and resell it! So it is entirely possible that if you
act fast you can but the same piece of shit that Electronic Equipment
Bank sold me. In addition, the EEB salesman said several times that
only licensed dealers can unlock the 800 band. Obviously, the sales
person is either really stupid or is a complete liar. In the fall of 95
the magazine "Monitoring Times" reported how to unlock your own radio
using one or more of the commercially available software! EEB doesn't
have sqwat for customer service either. The first time I tried to
return the radio the salesman asked his boss what to do and the boss
said all he could do is send in the radio for repair. I demanded a
complete refund and they refused! I have since settled the matter sort
of but have not got the check yet. I have no desire to visit EEB or the
aor8000 ever again.
Please use this information as just another opinion in the big decision
of which radio shall I invest in and where should I get it.
Best of luck
James

I dunno, I have photos of Utah HP cars with Whelen Edge strobe lightbars
on the roof, including Camaros and Mustangs. Not all UHP cars are slick

Well, OK. But on my recent trip through UT, all the UHP cars I saw were
plain white with only the "beehive" logo on the doors. The light bars
were internal on the rear deck and a "mini" where the rearview mirrow is.

Who was the rocket scientist that came up with the beehive logo? Geez.
I'm going off my book of all the Highway Patrols, and it shows a number
of UHP cars with lights, but also a few without. I'd assume that it's
similar to the CHP here in CA, where some have lights, some don't.

I never could figure out the "beehive" logo, either. What's the
connection? One usually doesn't associate Utah as being the "honey
capital" of the country.
As for lights or no lights (exterior, anyway), my understanding is this,
at least what I recall reading about somewhere:
I read somewhere a while back why CHP units in some areas have exterior
lights and why others don't. Has something to do with wanting increased
visibilty or "presence" in some places and use of the "element of
surprise" or "blending in" in others. Something like Rural versus Metro
areas. But I can't remember which was the case where.

Interestingly enough, there is a law in Idaho prohibiting "undercover"
State Patrol cars. The story I heard on a local newscast stated that
ISP had tried to get permission to once again put covert cars out on
the highways, but the legislature turned them down! Unofficial word is
that som lawmaker got nabbed for speeding by an undercover ISP
officer, proposed the legislation, and since then there are no
un-marked ISP cars....
Apparently, this only applies to ISP Patrol Vehicles, as local and
county cars are still unmarked....

At one time CHP cars only had light bars in the metro areas. Cars in
more rural areas had a red spot light on front, and red and amber deck
lights to the rear. However, about two years ago the Commissioner
decided that all cars will have full light bars. I think the only ones
left that don't are older cars that are going to be retired and it's not
worth the money or labor to do the retrofit.
Mabye someone can answer this for me. Why is it that some CHP cars are
all white, and the officers assigned to them seem to have blue BDU
uniforms? From watching TV, it seems that they might be Canine units,
but I am not sure.

I don't remember the whole story, but it is related to some
significant event in Mormon history.

gosh, gee Eric....
best you go to a RS super sales person and
ask them to show you where the green books
are with radio frequencies in them....bring
ten bucks to slip to the sales person so they
will feel appreciated....
there are not that many...really, but once you
get into it, you will want to listen to Napa and
Solano Counties and even over in Marin...that can
get really good when they have major fires...all
are great....also the chp and state police and
stuff...
right now you can do this:
police: 155.91
fire: 482.9875
this will get you started.
solano sheriff: 155.49
solano fire: 156.00
napa sheriff: 155.43
search out 42.00 to 43.00 for chp...
there are a few there which will pop up not in the book
listen to 154.905 for car to car and dispatch replies
45.08 is a good one....
151.34 another good fire one
154.34 good fire
benecia operates on sheriff 155.49
don't forget 157.05 coast guard
or 122.50 downed aircraft signals
you want to listen to BART: try 153.15
DOT: 47.02
Might as well listen to Co Co County fire"
46.32 33.48
22 46.24
.38 46.48
.14
.18
154.385 too.... good listening.
concord naval weapons station: 139.50
there exists many more possibilities for you in the RS
freq.book....only 10 bucks plus tip
remember: when you walk into a RS store, make sure you
have an attitude: i am here to save you from poverty.

Oh Bill, let's get the spelling right. It's BENICIA...
BTW, Benicia PD doesn't operate on the sheriff's freq. It's 155.775 (as you

hey, i was only five keys off....i meant the I but my

better.....incidental mistake. Plus I was getting out
of here going to a four alarm fire with which you may
have seen video of on KTVU. I was rushed.

Does any one have any info about the Welz WS-1000 wide band handheld scanner.
I saw it on the Javiation web page; http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/
I was going to buy a Pro-26 but the WS-1000 is very enticing.

I have one. What can I say - do you have specific questions. In general,
it's the only pocket scanner worth having. However there are significant
deficiencies in features; notably the inability to lock out scan channels
from its four 100-channel banks, and the need to manually select frequency
step when doing limit searches, since the auto defaults are set for Europe
and they're invariably wrong on other continents.
As a general rule, tiny scanners have design compromises, and you wouldn't
want to use one as your only rig. They make great second (3rd, 4th...)
scanners for emergency and covert use.

I was in radio shack the other day checking out scanners with a
friendly salesperson, and I set one to search between 894 and 914. To
our mutual surprise, it kept stopping on what definitely were cellular
phone conversations, even though the description of the radio indicated
"cellular blocked". Tried it on another model with same results. I
wonder if U.S. West is using frequencies it's not supposed to, or if RS
scanners aren't really blocked. Anyone have other thoughts on this?
BTW, intercepting cell phone transmissions, regardless of whether you
are using a "blocked" scanner, is illegal ;) Scott.

These are the famous "images" that dual conversion scanners "suffer"
from. You will receive cell conversations about 21.4 MHz above there
actual assignment. Gotta love dual conversion RS scanners. Go back and
try your test on a RS-2035 (or current model) of triple conversion
scanners, no cell calls! Images are usually a pain in the butt (unless
they occur at 896-915 ;o).

You were listening to double conversion scanners. What you heard were
images of the actual frequencies from appoximately 874-894 Mhz in the
cellular bands. I bought a RS PRO 2036 (i.e. BC 890 XLT) and it does
the same thing.

For replacement scanner batteries, consider "Mr. NiCd,"
E. H. Yost & Company tel. 608-831-3443. They've been selling at
many hamfests in the midwest for years.
I recently bought from them a 1,000 mAH insert for a BC200XLT.

Check out http://www.uniden.com/ . Cust. Service could tell you who
to contact in your area or sell you a battery pack for around $35.00

Here's my experience / observation w/free Radio Shack catalogs:
1. They give away last year's catalog when it is within several weeks
before the next year's catalogs are due to arrive.
2. If you buy a bunch of stuff, or think think you'll probably buy a
lot of stuff, then they might give you a free catalog.
3. The catalog comes with a coupon for an immediate $3 off your
next purchase. For those that think they've gotten a catalog for
free not covered by 1 or 2, check & see if they've taken the
coupon to "pay" for your "free" catalog.

That's what I understand, too. Fortunately, I've experienced only
the slightest intermod (and on only one frequency range) using the
new Icom R8500.
My R8500 has better intermod immunity than my Uniden BC9000XLT.

I am interested in using the connector in my battery compartment for
communications to my 2700. I want to get started with it first then try some
of the other mods I have seen. If anyone has info on the connector or the
interface I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to use this connector bu
t
get away with building my interface.
Thanks everyone.

According to Aviation Week & Space Technology (great publication) Nov 4
1996 issue, President Clinton Appropriated $38 million for the SR-71. A
US Air Force Sr-71 made it's reactivation flight Oct. 29th. The Air
Force pilots are being bruoght back up to speed by NASA pilots.
Lockheed is installing new data link equipment and bringing the
aircraft to mission ready status. Evidently real time intelligence has
a need after all.
Will be great to see the "Blackbird" in action again.

Another point. You will probably need some type of multi standard
television as well. NTSC uses a different refresh rate and a
different number of lines. A TV that only works with PAL will
not be able to handle this. It is possable to convert NTSC to
PAL, but the picture quality is not good even if you spend
a small fortune on the equipment.
That's why many American programs suffer poor picture quality
when showed in the UK. These are the ones that had to be
converted from NTSC.

It's a very poor design, they left out scanner performance to add 'tricks'.
Extenders are seldom in use when you NEED to know about them, and a
built-together scanner/radar dectector would HAVE to cost more, and be larger,
than the BC model, in order to equal the performance of even mid-level
separate units.

Scott,
Your are receiving an image frequency of the cellular frequency on the
scanner. Most handheld scanners and other inexepensive scanners have
very poor image frequency rejection in the 800-900 MHz range.
They are this way because they are usually single conversion at that
frequency.
I have verified this with my handheld Pro-46 vs. my Pro 2006. The 2006
does not create an image.
To verify this use this calculation Fimage = Freal + 2*Fif.
Where Fimage is the frequency your scanner is tuned too.
Freal is the actual frequency that the cellular conversation is taking
place on.
Fif is the intermediate frequency of the scanner, 10.7Mhz on a Pro 46.
If a conversation is on 890MHz then with a poor scanner you could pick
it up on 890 + 2*10.7 = 911.40.
There is a silver lining in this all, that is if you wanted cellular
coverage but the scanner is not convertible, then you can still pick up
a good portion of the celluar band.
Hope this is usefull.

Check out http://www.uniden.com/ . Cust. Service could tell you who
to contact in your area or sell you a battery pack for around $35.00

I'm a non scanner but a lurker. Is it accepted with scanner hobyists that digi

phones will eventually replace cell phones? And is it also accepted that the h

in
some way?
Your thought are appreciated!

Help! I dropped my PRO-43 a little while ago. The scanner was still
in the case when it hit the floor and it did work for a little while
after I dropped it, but it just quit on me a few minutes ago. It was
scanning normally when all of a sudden the display went blank without
warning (no the batteries are not dead).
It acts like it's not getting power, so maybe that's a place to start.
Any other suggestions on where to start? I don't have the PRO-43 service
manual, but I think I'm going to be ordering one very soon...
THIS REALLY SUCKS.
Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

A few others but can't comment on what;-) We had them on ships as well.
SOmetimes we couldn't afford a 3000A so we went with the 2005/6. They are
useful in that it's a cheap addition we can use to scan things we don't
want to bother with on the Military systems. BTW, most of the EA-6B's and
ships carry AOR 3000G's not A's. G=Government.

I believe Radio Shack do not include the NiCd pack or AC adapter.
Otherwise I would have bought an RS model, but now I'll be getting a
BC120XLT (probably).

I have both the Diamond RH-77CA and the $10 Radio Shack extendable metal
whip. The Diamond beats it hands down on every band except VHF-lo.

The CHP (dress) enforcement uniform is tan, while the blue "uniform"
(coveralls or similar) is used by members who perform mechanical
inspections or conduct on-scene investigations of accidents. It
prevents grease, grass and other stains from soiling the dress
uniform seen by the public.

Nope. Actually you can pick them up but since each channel is split and
it's using GSM it's all digital (and even has low grade crypto). The US
law enforcement agencies weren't too hot on the idea of GSM because it's
a real pain in the ass to monitor. France I believe made the GSM co's
take the encryption out.

Since modern scanners are controlled by processors, the more likely senario
would be that the processor would convert the users input to a binary value
and compare the value against allowed frequencies. If the binary value
passed the test the processor would then and only then write the value to
the appropriate storage location. Otherwise the processor would discard
the value. The actual memory location for the frequency would never even
be accessed on invalid input.

Even if you could access the WRITE DATA line, the speeds involved (probably
microseconds) would make it impossible to press a button in the time frame
required even if you knew when it would occur (which is highly unlikely).

No kidding. Particularly in rural areas. Around here UPS delivers to more
addresses than the US Postal Service. USPS seems to be trying to dump its
rural parcel service on UPS. Latest Postal Service policy is "no parcel
pickup from rural boxes." You must face a postal clerk with each parcel to
"prove" (huh?) that you're not a terrorist bomber. My post office is 20mi
away, and could be "consolidated" to a more distant location in the future.
UPS will still pickup rural from incidental shippers if you call ahead.
FedEx and Airborne won't deliver here at all (if you're lucky they'll
reship via UPS from their regional distribution center -- if not they will
try to get you to accept delivery to another party in a town 75mi away or
you can insist it be returned to the sender for reshipment by another
carrier).
United Parcel Service is still far and away the fastest, cheapest, most
convenient and dependable parcel delivery in my area. As big as the system
is, it's amazing how much impact on quality of service the destination
drivers seem to have. I have very little experience with their COD service
so I *won't* champion on that specific point, but of course I have to
travel the same 40mi round trip to buy a postal money order that I would to
post my mail bomb.

I saw this in email (and replied) about a day before it
showed up here in the newsgroup.
For the benefit of anyone else who is curious:
The so-called "ham exemption" varies from state to state.
In NY, the wishful thinkers would like to believe that
possession of a ham license automatically entitles them to
use a mobile scanner. The law is not written that way, but
indicates an exemption for a licensed user of ham equipment
that incidentally receives signals outside the ham bands.
The real meaning of any law is determined by the courts, and
I have not yet found any case law determining exactly where
the "ham exemption" in NY begins or ends. Out on the
streets, not many hams are ticketed for having scanners, so
the hobbyist viewpoint seems to be shared by law enforcement
at the moment.

I am not positive, but I believe that most of all the emergency situations in
and around Toronto switch to Cellular. This is based on the fact that both
Cantel and Bell's main cell bases have backup generators that hold their own
durning storms. Again, I am not positive, but I have experienced increased
cell use during storms out here in the Bowmanville-Oshawa area.

I just wanted to describe my recent antenna experiences on my house. (Since so
many here gave me advice<G>)
I tried the Radio Shack discone, and it wasn't too much better than my set-mou
nted
Grove ANT-8 on low-band. I returned it and bought the "Grove Professional Dis
cone"
which is actually a Diamond Model 1300 discone.
The Diamond antenna is GREAT! First of all it's major material is stainless s
teel. The
only aluminum on it are the long elements that hang down. The short radials,
upright element,
and all of the center pieces are solid, stainless.
It works great on everything I've ever tried it on, from 33-920 MHz. They rat
e it for 25-1300, and
the base loaded center element really seems to make the lo-band happen.
This antenna ain't cheap ($89.99), but I highly recommend it.

UPs HORROR TIME...really. Sounds like sales reps with USPS

been using UPS for millineum and what problems are not

get on your 800 operator and get the phone of DAMARK.
they have this 800 portable 50 channel scanner for
sale at a great price.....bearcat too.
they have a 30 day return....but it's only 50 channels.
but for the price with 800...i'm tempted. just need

GO TO RS...and ask for the san fran police sheet...they sell them
on Geary Blvd or down on Market or the one on Taravel or distric.
district is spelled with a "t" at end.....ok.
the answers: the code 33 is on the RS sheet or in their book.
it means all cars clear the air and allow car
with an emergency to speak....only that car.
Just that the Richmond car works the richmond district and this
will be heard by those units on a PIC zone channel for their use
in that part of the city.
stolen cars are referred to the dailybulletin on certain columns
they carry six columns full of stolen cars....and that is what
they are referrring to...the daily sheet on the computer showing
the columns referred to.
Or they will get even more specific and say: it's on the daily
sheet in the 3 column...meaning that the first number of the
stolen plate begins with three.... or in the F column...the first
Lettered COLUMN begins with F..... FED321....plate....
again...go into RS with an attitude....I am your saviour...make
me happey AND YOU STAY out of poverty.....
RS people dream of the INternet quite a bit lately.

I have a Bearcat 100xlt and was told by a friend that it could be converted
into a 200xlt. I have the 900 MHz board from a 200xlt. I was told that
there were just a couple of capacitors that needed to be changed.
Has anyone heard or have experience with such a radio?

I suspect what you were hearing is the "imagine frequency" which is usually
21.6 or 21.8 Mhz above the true signal. Using this method, most single and
double-conversion 900-Mhz scanners can get the lower-part of the cellular
band (with reduced senstivity). I think the FCC is now requiring
manufactorers to go to triple-conversion on the newest models to prevent this
mode of reception.

I was watching QVC and they had a Cobra Radar Detector that also "radio
signals that light bars transmit when they are turned on." To demo this
the host turned on a red and blue police type light bar and the radar
detector started churping away. He said that if police turn on the
light bar it is designed to warn other police, fire and EMS that another
emergency vehical is near by and use caution. I have never heard of
this RF in the light bar. Is this true, and what freqs. are used for
this light bar RF?

So it could be commuter, long distance, or freight with the emphasis
on commuter.
Any help is appreciated!

To quote Homer Simpson: "WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
I can't believe it! Here I was all ready to send this thing back
to Radio Shack repair (and lose cellular coverage) when all I
had to do was hold down a couple of buttons and turn it on!
I love you, man! And I don't even want your beer!!

Where can the free band modification be found on the Web? I haven't seen

Ive just got a question about the AR8000 scanner.
Whenever I set the 'mode' to 'auto' it quite often chooses the wrong mode
for the freq I enter. I realise that the modes for different freqs would
be different world wide so is it possible to change the settings via the
keyboard?
Id like to be able to enter say a freq of 465.600mhz with the radio
choosing NFM instead of WFM.
Also what keys do I press to DELETE all the memory contents. I DO NOT
want to do this but I want to know what keys to AVOID pressing.
Many Thanks
Matt

I have contemplated getting a CD player to car stereo adapter (a

is that you can only listen to the scanner or stereo, not both.

Hello all!
Can someone briefly explain how the LOCK button works in Uniden's
BC3000XLT and 230XLT?
Both are used and have no manual, and obvious I don't want to tinker
with it for fear of PERMANENTLY locking the scanner ;-)
Thanks!

I think this will be long way off, especially if the current scanner
crowd spends time and $ now to learn as much as possible about the current
crop of digital stuff. The more we learn now, the better we will be in
the future.
Mfg's claim they use scrambling, but this is to improve reception, not for
encryption. Because of the confusion caused by the word 'scramble', many
people will be convinced that they are buying something more secure than
they really are.
This will be our salvation.

On the bearcat, just hold down the lock button until you hear a beep.
This lets you lock the keypad so that you won't accidentally hit a key
while scanning. If you want to unlock it, just press and hold it n until
you hear another beep.

I am new to the Twin Cities and have been trying to "piece together"
some frequencies for the Minneapolis area, specifically the southwest
suburbs (Bloomington/Eden Prairie).
Can anyone supply any of the following:
Ambulance services for Minneapolis, Bloomington or Eden Prairie?
Minnesota State Patrol in South Minneapolis area?
Is Bloomington PD's trunked systems "digital"?
Anyone have a listing of all Minneapolis area Fire Departments?
Thank you VERY much for any assistance anyone can offer!

Apparently not.
But the rumors *I* have heard make this to be underwhelming ... a scanner
without a keypad?

Have a mint BC-200 (cell mod done) with leather case, charger, antenna,
manual, original sales slip & box w/packing. I would like to trade for a
likewise mint radio shack Pro-43 handheld scanner. The Pro-43 should
either have the cell-mod done or be of the appropriate date code to
signify that it was imported prior to the cutoff point for that.
May consider an alternate but am really looking for the Pro-43.

No, providing you buy the SAC8000 plug-and-play connection kit.
(You're asking this *after* buying the Scout?)

It is, providing you understand how it works and have realistic expectations

FYI, the CHP has been using the old California State Police frequencies
loctaed in the 40mhz range for things like undercover work.

Yeah, I have seen that pick-up too. I am not too sure if it is the same
one. The one I see is based out of the El Cajon office. It has to cool
'V' lightbar on top. I saw that bad boy light up a semi the otherday.

Does anyone have any idea what frequency the transmitters used for tracking
back robbery suspects are on? I'm sure it's just some type of data or beep
type of signal, but I was just curious.
Many patrol cars of the receivers in their car and three antenas in a
triangular pattern on the roof of the car, as well as some fixed receivers.
Just curious what frequency those receivers listen to.
Thanks,
Dan

Conspiracy theories are so much fun. On Pp54, in the Nov 96 issue
of Mobile Radio Technology is an article on how the FCC is handling
the current auctioning of the 220-222Mhz spectrum. Bidding is expected
to be in the millions of dollars per market. I can just visualize
someone at UPS saying "We didn't know it was worth so much. We could
have had it all to ourselves" or some variation on that theme. I don't
think that UPS is vindictive or retaliatory. It's like blaming the
energy crisis on the guy the pumps the gasoline.
Incidentally, for a nominal $10,000 deposit (refundable), you can bid
on these 220Mhz frequencies. All you need is a computer, modem, the
FCC auction software, and $2.30/minute. The 900Mhz auctions went for
5 months, so this per minute bill could be substantial. They expect
2 to 9 rounds of bidding per day for at least 90 days. If 220Mhz is
that important to ham radio, hams could simply buy back the frequencies.

Ed,
Try and find the design calculations for a Helical receiving
antenna. This is the best type for FLTSAT SATCOM monitoring. I
had a friend in Louisiana who had several on his roof. They
performed quite well. I had plans for one in a monitoring times
or satellite times, I think it was Nov. 94 or 95. You could call them
at Grove Enterprises in N.C. and ask them which issue it was in.
Good Luck
Paul.....

There's a gizmo for $20 at Fred Meyers that takes the earphone output of
a device like a scanner and broadcasts it on an unused FM station.
Then, you tune your car stereo to that station and Viola!

There are a slew of brand-spankin new 1996 Caprices without lightbars.
Almost all of the cars here at the Ventura Station are slick-tops. There
all of a sudden a bunch of slick-tops surfacing in Southern California.
They have a single red light mounted by the rear-view mirror on the
winshield and the back deck has a directional bar and pair of red/blue
lights on each side.

Many all-white CHP cars are truck enforcement units, the officers in all
blue jumpsuits are the same guys you'll find at the scales. I don't
remember what thier official term is though. You'll also see these guys
driving the pick-up trucks. Don't go blowing past the trucks thinking
they can't pull you over, they can and will, they are regular CHP
officers and will nail you. A few years ago they had "stealth" cars, a
number of units were painted in odd colors, red, blue, teal, biege, grey.
They had the spotlights removed and small strobes on the back deck, with
a red light by the rear view-mirror. They kept the all-white door with
the CHP logo, California law says that a police unit must be clearly
marked with a logo on the front doors to be used in traffic enforcement.
A undercover can pull you over, but legally, cannot issue a citation for
a traffic violation. The coolest thing I saw was a dark blue station
wagon used as a stealth car.
There are a also a few all white K-9 units that are clearly marked
with K-9 on the car. You can tell the difference easily by the fact the
K-9 cars have extremely dark tinting on the back window and the rear side
windows to keep Rover cool, also hence the white paint. I have seen K-9
officers in the regular CHP uniforms and black jumpsuits, but I think the
black jumpsuits are used for special ops and not regular patrol.

Where was it purchased (Country ?)
The above would possible suggest you possible have a unit that was
originally destined for somewhere like the German market where until recent
years the ony "coverage" receivers could have were the varios Amateur
Bands. After saying that though I would have said that the X1 came out after
that legilsation came to an end as as far I was aware all DJ-X1 had full
500KHz - 1300MHz coverage.
Are you sure you cannot enter frequencies between the above limits (123.45
for example ?) If its is limited to the above frequencies its the first
time I have heard of such limits on the X1 and at this time I am unaware of
the "mod" required to restore full coverage.
Alinco venture into the scanner market with the X1 didn't seem that
successful but it seems they ahve not been put off and they have a new unit
due in the new year (DJ-X10 I beleive).

This does work, I've done it. The benefit is that you can crank up the
volume and hear your scanner in a noisy, moving vehicle environment.

Yes and no. Uniden Bearcat 3000XLT cannot be directly modified to
receive cellular but this has nothing to do with the scanner being
triple conversion.
The US version simply has a CPU (the unit that controls all the
logic of the scanner) that prevents it from tuning the cellular
frequencies.

I see alot of posts on this thread saying that images are only a problem
on double conversion scanners. As a BC2500 owner (a triple conversion
unit) I can tell you that there is still images to be heard. The
celluar images are up at 1270 and down around 811 MHz or so if I
remember correctly.

Make sure you hit "Func"+"0"(which is the copy mode)
select send mode
then youll have 2 options "Bank-Data" and "Sys-Data"
select sys-data
set up your program per the instructions to upload the band plan
start the program then hit enter on the radio
it should be that simple

No problem, just get a cord from radio shack (make one yourself
if so desired), that has headphone jack on both ends. Hook
it up to to the input or to the microphone jack on your sound
card (which one depends on how you want to record it, through
which program, etch).

Dear Sir,
I would recomend Realistics Pro-26. It it a wounderful scanner and runs
from 25 - 1300Mhz. If you want it to cover all frequs, order the scanner
from europe, the restrictions are not on the scanners there.

I need a high quality antenna for my current Pro 62 & future AOR 8000.
Anyone used one of the Watson line of antennas?

John,
You'd probably be better off getting the Pro-26. I've had a few
e-mail converstaions with Jonathan of Javiation who recommends this
scanner. Although it does have 400 channels, it only has 4 banks.
Worse yet, once a frequency is programmed, it can not be locked out
for scanning purposes. This is a big drawback to me. It supposedly
gets 5 hours or so on two AAs but I worry about audio volume. Unless
you really want a scanner simply because of its size, I would not
recommend this one. Like the Icom R-1, this is more of a communi-
cations receiver than a scanner.
Save some money(if you buy the US version) and get more bang for
your buck. For an equivalent amount of money you can opt for the
Eurpean version of the 26 which Javiation sells for full 800MHz
(although other regions will be blocked as per European restrictions).
Strong signals,
Rich Wells

I had mine modified for $40 from Scanners Unlimited in San Carlos, CA.
It was so bad on the 8000 when new that I thought I had a faulty unit.
I guess the internal filter is too narrow for 800mhz reception and they
just swap it out for a slightly wider one and it seems to fix it.
I imagine this would affect cellular listening if you are into that sort
of thing, too.

I agree with all that has been said ..... but
I love my WS1000, won't ever sell it !!
matter of fact I'll buy another.. ANYONE have one forsale ??
Anyhow.. mine is even better then 5 hrs on batteries , more like 10 or more,
that is scanning already programed freqs, using headphones.
The antenna that comes with it is ok , but to get the lower and upper ends,
use a diffrent antenna !
The sound quality is alright, for its size.
Easy of use is pretty good. I had to read the manual once, then
go back over it a second time to answer the tough questions....
I got mine for $325 used, which is better than the $450 retail price....
but as rich said already, great 2nd or 3rd .... scanner !

There are a couple of companies that make transmitters that fit into
light bars that send a signal out when the light bar is activated.
Cobra, and I think maybe a couple of other radar detector manufacturers
are not making receivers that will pick up the signal and let you know
if there is an emergency vehicle in the area. However, I don't know how
many of the transmitters there are out there, and by no means do all
light bars send out a signal. In fact, the only units that I have seen
have been at trade shows.

I have a like new PRO-2035 with OS535 computer interface board.
I have also replaced the logic board with the European one which allows
full 800mhz coverage(inc.cellular). This means you have full coverage
without having to use the interface. This radio is in excellent
condition! I have original boxes and manuals for both radio and
interface.

I'm doing a research paper for a college writing class dealing with management
of the radio frequency spectrum. Any help will be appreciated in the followi
ng areas:
------------
1. Listing of current and new digital users (including new thechnologies) and
their allocated space in the spectrum.
2. Those non-digital or voice broadcast services in the business and public s
afety sectors and their allocations.
3. Aircraft communications (both voice and digital) and their allocations.
4. Satellite broadcast services and other satellite digital services (anf the
ir specific allocations.
5. Radioastronomy allocations.
6. Cellular technologies and spread spectrum users and allocations.
-----------
My main theme is the effective management of all the above and maybe a few oth
er services which I didn't mention. I'm also looking for problems which might
have recently popped up regarding any of the above and possible solutions to
those problems.
---------
I've been able to glean some information from Broadcasting & Cable magaizine b
ut, that's primarily for the commercial AM and FM broadcasting industry and fo
r Television and Cable. I'm seeking info on the other specialized services as
well.
---------
Any help will be appreciated. Pleaee direct your replies to the following E-M

Perhaps, you have a web page or home page or several of the se you can direct
me to for more valid and up todate information. Thanks for your help in advan
ce. Happy Monitoring...Brian.

Don't forget to get a mono to stereo adapter or you will only hear scanner
audio from one side of the car.

This is an interesting comment. I have a PRO-39 that was
cellularly circumscized, and the audio went to Hell only in the
800 mHz range. I sent it back to XXXX, and they said that the
speaker was defective, and that they have seen similar problems in
the past with other hand helds. They suggested useing an external
speaker, and that seemed to solve the problem.

FWIW, I bought my Pro-43 from someone in this newsgroup. He had
performed several mods and had done so perfectly well. If you want to
blow your dough buying equipment at full price at Radio Shack, the same
way you do on your AOL account, please be my guest. If you are
interested in saving money, and swapping gear with cool folks, do your
trading here. It is no more dangerous than answering a classified ad in
the newspaper.

The BC210 has three electrolytics in proximity to the TBA 820 audio
amp.IC. They are: 220 uF 16VDC adjacent pin 12, 47 uF 16VDC adjacent

I recently got rid of my double conversion and got a new triple conversion.
The biggest difference I found was that cell phones were not running all over
the 800MHz frequncies. This was a real problem since the police in my area
use a 800MHz system. It was definately worth the upgrade.

Hello Everyone,
I am in a process of buying a portable scanner, namely the AR2700.
Before buying this unit, I would like to get some recommendation from
you folks out there that know about or have own this unit. What are
some of the good and bad things about this product?? Besides the
price of course. Thanks in advance folks!

I'm at a loss as to where one can best find info on hand held wireless
radios for field communication. I'm thinking of buying a pair of
Motoroloa Sport SS UHF communicators but would like to get some feedback
if they're any good and what else is out there. Consumers Report never
reviewed any.
I don't see a newsgroup specifically dedicated to these things. There's
several for shortwave radio, Ham radio and scanners. Is there anything on
the web anyone knows about?
Thanks for any info.

It would be much safer to use the *line* input jack on the soundcard
rather than the mic input. Most mic inputs are amplified, so it would
be very easy to overdrive the mic inputs and fry something important.

You need to activate the Win95 volume control menu and click OPTIONS,
PROPERTIES, then RECORDING. If your sound card is like mine, it can
only record from one source at a time and chances are the MIC input is
selected instead of LINE as the source.
Still, I have not had any success with the Win95 version of the
decoder either. The old 16-bit version actually works better on my
system.

Actually U.S. scanner news did an article about this two years ago. The
transmitter is hidden in a stack of money given to the robber. I no
longer have this issue, but maybe someone could check their back issues.
In fact the only reason I got it was they sent it to me for free, I
didn't even ask for it.

Thanks Paul, this is exactly what I was looking for. I didn't realize I
needed a helical antenna. I was goung to build a quagi but had second
thoughts.
I did contact Monitoring Times...no response but I'll try again..at
least look at their index and order a back-issue. I have all their
issues for the past 4 years and that is the single missing issue...

Yes it is possible. You can get a cable at any electronic stores.
But recording voice on computer will take many megabytes on your
hard disk. You can setup your computer software to record voice
with the minimun sound quality. So you can setup, mono mode, and
with a 8khz sound instead of 33hz. Make somes tries and you will
see what setup will take less hard disk space!
Hope that's help you...

I had the same problem with a BC200XLT a couple of years ago. The BNC
connector was slightly loose, and every time I changed antennas, the
connector would flex or twist slightly. This eventually broke the
connection between the antenna center conductor and the PB board. Also,
the "ears", or two locking pins on the connector became badly worn,
resulting in a loose antenna connection.
I sent the unit back to Uniden for repair. They replaced the connector
with what appears to be a heavier-duty or better quality one. I've never
had the problem again. No loose connection or pin wear.

Does anybody own the PerCon Spectrum database. Do you like it. I really
would like to purchase something that I could type in the city and it will
give me the frq for that area. Is that possable with the PerCon disk. Does
anybody know of any others. If so could you tell me there web site if you
know of it. Thanks

Whelan signal corporation offers a rader band transmitter as an option
for emergency vehicles. The idea is that it will alert drivers with
radar detectors, making them look around for the cop car and see the
approaching COP/FIRE/EMS vehicle. I have only seen this in the catalog,
not on any emergency vehicle. There may be others with the same
technology though. Larry...

They aren't. =) When you press your send button and the system is
at capacity, your phone will beep or signal you in whichever way it
normally does when the cell system doesn't process the call (on my
Ericsson, it sounds like a higher-pitched busy signal).
There is a "call class" designation that, when used, allows
certain people with a lower class number to have priority over other
customers. So, if they make a call and the system is running at capacity
already, someone's call is dropped so that this person can make his or her
call. On most systems, this isn't utilized though.
: Also, how large are the cells themselves. Several miles?
On the AMPS and (I think) GSM systems, cells have a max range of
about five miles. But, on the 1900MHz CDMA and other digital systems,
there's a possibility for cells with smaller coverage areas (less range),
meaning more cells, greater frequency re-use, and greater capacity.
: Is a call broadcast througout the country? How does it find "his"
: phone?
Again, using AMPS as the example (since that's the common system
in the US), when a person makes a phone call, their ESN is transmitted to
a cell tower. The same occurs when you turn your phone on, and every few
minutes while your phone is on standby.
When you get a call though, the paging channel at each cell site
in your "home" area broadcasts a request for the phone with that
particular phone number to respond with its ESN number. If your phone's
turned on and locked in on a paging channel, it'll send back its ESN, and
once the appropriate info gets exchanged between phone and tower, your
phone will ring (try this: go to a landline phone and dial in your cell
phone number. It'll take about one or two rings on your land phone before
your cell actually starts to ring. During this delay, ESN and call info
is being exchanged between your phone and the cell system).
Now, if the cell system doesn't get a response in the home area,
the search is widened to any "expanded calling areas" that your cell
company might have designated for you. If there's still no response from
the right phone, it widens out even further to any cell phone systems that
your particular company has automatic roaming agreements with (or, if
you've directly set up a roaming agreement with another cell company,
the call will be handed off to them).
And if there's still nothing, _then_ your caller will get a
message stating "We're sorry, the cellular customer you're trying to reach
cannot be contacted..." =)
Hope this helps,

Whether or not the unit has triple conversion doesn't have any
bearing on its ability to be modified. All it means is that you won't be
be getting image receptions of cell phone conversations in the 896-915
MHz area.
This doesn't mean the scanner is modifiable though. Manufacturers
are making it increasingly difficult to do as the newer models come out.

Inside the lightbar there is a transmitter that sends out a signal, like a
radar gun. This signal is on a different frequency than radar. This
signal is being called "safety radar". The plan is to use this safety
radar on fire trucks, Highway maintenance trucks, trains, etc... to alert
drivers with the new radar detectors that can detect the safety radar that
there is possibly a driving hazard ahead.
Hope this helps.

Yep. They also made (more than) a few headlines a couple months ago when
they went supersonic a tad higher than normal after a Marysville (Beale
AFB) departure and refueling. They "boomed everyone from Marin County
north into Washington state and from the Pacific coast to the Sierra crest!
Oops!! Not exactly a great way to operate a stealth aircraft, eh?
It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to hear Joshua and the
Sr-71s... Last time I was prowling China Lake and wasn't paying much
attention til I heard them clear it to "one zero zero thousand..."
*T*H*E*N* they had my attention!

I was at Radio Shack the other day and noticed that they have a very
compact discone style multi-band base antenna for around 18 bucks. You
may want to take a look at that option.

it, or an easily modifiable scanner that I Can Get... Your Help is greatly

I have the choice to buy an AR-2700 new (even if it is discontinued)
with no gap(500Khz to 1300Mhz) and a PRO-26 new, with some gap between
800-896 Mhz. Both at $400 Can. The reception is more important to me
than gadgets.
If some experts would give me advises.

and 160.000 mhz.??? or did they just issue them in scattered pair with no

You can't, since there's too little atmosphere up there for you to hear
the shuttle. <wink>
Okay, okay. So even Milton Berle was better at jokes than me!
(Bah-DUM-bum!)
Well, chances are you'll never be able to hear things like the EVAs
*direct* without a large home-made dish or something, since they are
extremely low power; BUT...
If you have a tuner capable of recieving the following HF ham-radio
frequencies, you should be able to hear live rebroadcasts of the shuttle
air-to-ground audio, rebroadcast from Goddard Amateur Radio Club's WA3NAN
club station. Should one band die during certain portions of the day,
you'll be able to try the next few:
3.860 MHz
7.185 MHz
14.295 MHz
21.395 MHz
28.650 MHz
I couldn't find that list of local area VHF freqs (ham repeaters in the
2-meter and 440 MHz bands) on-hand, but maybe someone else here in this
group can forward a copy to the newsgroup(s), as I'm sure a number of us
would like to know what the latest version of that list contains anyway.
I've tried locating it on the web, but had no immediate luck.
Alternately, there are the following two URLs that I found which you might
also be interested in:
http://garc.gsfc.nasa.gov/www/retransmission/shuttle_faq.html
and
http://sd-www.jsc.nasa.gov/shuttle/comm/overview.html
And then again, if you have a satellite TV setup, you can recieve
NASA-Select TV, 24 hours a day. To get it, tune to the GTE Spacenet 2
satellite, transponder 5, at 3880 MHz, satellite position 69 degrees West
Long., with audio at 6.8 MHz.
Good luck!

I also neglected to add that, if scanner listeners are interested in
LISTENING to the shuttle, chances are your curiosity is such that you'd be
interested in following the countdown events as they happen.
At the URL in my signature, I have pointers to David Ransom's JPLClock
program, which can show up to 60 events with countdown timers for each event
in the countdown. I've personally created a couple of Mission Timer Data
files (MTD's) to go along with the program. Just run the program, plug in
these timer files, and watch the shuttle countdown while you listen to the
audio. Pretty neat stuff!
Just scroll down to the "Shuttle-related" section and you'll see the
JPL-Clock program, as well as Dave's companion program, STSOrbit-Plus, used
for actually tracking the shuttle (and other satellites, designed to look
like the actual tracking wall map at the old MCC in Houston).
Get involved! And have fun! :)

I live in SF where hills make listening difficult in my part of town.
I'd like to improve reception on my handheld Bearcat 220 XLT inside
the house in the 100-400mhz range.. Thought about mounting an anntena
on the roof of my apt. and running a cable approx. 45' to the radio.
What anntena would you experienced guys recommend? Any problems for a
cable run of this length? I've seen where some have had trouble with
performance due to improper cable and/or connectors. What
cable/connectors would be best?
Thanks a lot for any advice you can share or references you can point
to.

Haaa haah haaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Have you *ever* heard two cops on two seperate systems try to
use a link between them? It is hilarious! It rarely works
smoothly because the radio systems operate differently
and the people using them have different operating techniques
and ways of communicating.
I think that voice telephony will be the preferred means of
inter-department communication for some time to come. It
might not be gee-whizzy high tech, but it gets the job done.

Don't even think about a AR2700, I have one, IT SUCKS!!! And at $400 it's
a big ripoff. I got mine for $200 new so $400 would be outrageous. The
2700 suffers from so many birdies, audio is weak, sensitivity is nil, etc.
GO with the PRO-26 or a BC3000XLT (Actually, the 3000 is quite the scanner).

It's been a while since I followed this group, but I remember that on
"older" cell phones thier were sometimes "scanning" functions that could be
accessed by certain key combinations. Well, having joined the ranks of
the cellular connected with my new Nokia 232, I was just wondering if there
were any known codes for this unit.
Just curious.

Unless 1000 channels and alpha is THAT important, I'd suggest the RELM
HS-200. 200 Channels, 24-956, PL & DPL. That will cut down on intermod
incredibly... True, it doesn't do SW, but the money you'll save (200
is about $290) you can buy a decent stand alone SW receiver.. =)

I have a Uniden Bearcat BC-140 scanner that is about 10 years old.
Last week the a few of the buttons stopped working and now none of them work.
I have taken the scanner to a repair shop and they quoted me a price of
$20 for the part and $60 for labor. I only paid $100 for the scanner 10 years
ago and don't want to spend $80 for someone else to fix it so I decided to
do it myself. If anyone knows how I can order the circut board please
e-mail me at gahamilt@eos.ncsu.edu or post a reply.
Thank You.

the address of Regency. Uniden won't help, I tried.
Perhaps you have a HX 1500 you might want to sell. My friend really
likes this unit. Don't ask why, I don't know. Perhaps it is because
it is far more sensative than anything on the market today?
If you have any information, please email me at cjs9@cornell.edu

We have two years to ponder this dilemna and how it

New computer technology developed for the military is

and polish his boots to do this.
Technically he could be sunning himself in Hawaii and with his
LapTop send a robot plane with a 1000 pound bomb or mini-bombs
with 1000 of them able to be dispersed over a greater area and
launched via software showing where the plane is and when it

CHP still uses patrol cars in different colors primarily for commerical
traffic enforcement (AKA Truckers). It doesn't mean that they can't
pull over the average driver though. Many offices are using all white
cars these days.
The California Highway Patrol assumed the duties of the California State
Police when that agency was combined with CHP. This includes the
security of all State owned buildings (including patrolling the State
Capitol in Sacramento) and properties (CalTrans yards, etc). The CHP
now handles the Governor's Protection Detail also.

-> The motor units <bikes> have had 12ga. for some time.
The majority of units in remote areas (rural) all carry assault rifles.
All the supervisor's units (Sgt's) carry the weapons in urban areas.
More indivdual units are getting them in the urban areas though.
I hope this clears up some of the issues.

Scanner Fans,
I've done extensive testing with a array of external speakers on my
ham radio equipment/scanners. These speakers included:
Three types Motorola, two types GE, Pace, Johnson, Uniden, University
and many other assorted speaker manufactures... the strange thing is
that a number of these speakers are designed for communications/voice
frequencies, where the speaker cones are made more rigid to favor
mid-range frequencies... without a doubt, the Radio Shack 21-549
External Speaker is the very best!
This speaker simply has outstanding, quality communications audio
recovery! It is supplied with a bracket, about five feet of wire and
a standard (3mm) jack for about $15. I highly recommend that you
take your handheld in and ask to try it, or have them connect one to
one of their scanners/receivers. I know you will be impressed and
will take one home with you.
A ideal application is where you have a portable radio, mag-mount
antenna and one of the above speakers mounted in your car. Two quick
connectors and you are mobile with really GREAT sounding audio.
This speaker enhances your monitoring effort and has improved the
overall audio quality of every radio I've tried it on. I took a
moment just now to connect it to a Yaesu FT-530 dual-band hand held
and the performance is superb, no amplifier required! I use one on a
Yaesu FT-2400, FT-7400 and a PRO-2004. Monitoring without one is
now out of the question ;)
F.Y.I., Radio Shack also made a Model 21-541 AMPLIFIED External
Speaker. It looks just like the speaker above, but it requires 12VDC
and it WILL knock your socks off with volume plus! I'm not sure if
this one is still in the catalogs.
Please try one and let me know what you think? I know this speaker
will bring your radio alive!

Good Doctor...
Sorry for the delays in this post, but 140.95MHz appears to be
assigned to the U.S. Navy as a simplex frequency.
It appears active at:
China Lake NWC and
Long Beach Naval Station (in the process of closing down).

P.S. I'd love to go to Area 51, but I'm afraid I'd freeze my whebos
off at this time of year! Argggg! Wish you'd thought of it when it
was a little warmer!

Just heard the "China Control" (China Lake, CA) frequency
(362.700) with some unusual traffic. They are giving a countdown
ending with "X-Ray" The traffic is from someone from Indian
Springs, which means that they are probably former Soviet
aircraft.

I recently bought the CD Percom database. I was pleasently surprised that it
is
a very complete database.
It can search by city, county, state, etc...
It does have a quirk-
You can (do) get a listing in spreadsheet form, but you can not do anything wi
th
it except view it.
Initialy you have a multiple choice of:
1) Printing to screen
2) Printing to printer 80 columns.
3) Printing to printer 132 columns.
4) exporting to a database format.
I have not been successful in printing to 132 column format. My printer is a
HP4ML postscript printer.
Overall I find the CD to be a good value (based on $29.95).

In my area - we have overlapping shifts of units with the same unit
designators. "1 car 8" is 1st shift car 8 and "2 car 8" is second shift
car 8.... and so on. When you have overlapping car numbers for an hour
or so, it makes it alot easier than having 2 people answer back all the
time.

Andrew,
What you are receiving is an image, around 21.4 MHz (10.7MHz the first IF x
2) above the cell frequencies.
Apparently to listen to cell frequencies, a double conversion scanner
should be set to search the frequencies between 894.0125 and 915.5750. I
have a RS Pro-29 and a Bearcat BC-230XLT and both will pick up this
image... not that I listen to them. ;-)

_I am a Big Fag_
_Baby's First Book of Really Dumb Mods for Really Old Scanners_

_I am a Big Fag...and You are a Poopyhead_
_Everything You Wanted to Know About Poopyheads*............*but were
afraid to ask me--the KING POOPYHEAD_
_Men Are From Penises, and "HAMs" Are From Mars_
And my new Nintendo Video game which is about a Scanner repair man that
gets sucked into an alternate reality and has to fight the ECPA Monsters:
_Super Poopyhead Brothers_
So all of you Poopyheads want more...send me $50 for a complete list of
totally worthless titles. Note: my wife doesn't receive one penny for
this.
Please make sure that you send me cash in small bills (I wouldn't want
Social Security to find out that I am making a fortune off of the
INTERNET!!!!).
Before you send me that cash, please tuck the bills in your underwear,
underneath your balls. Keep it there while you mow the lawn or work on
that muscle car of yours (ooh, baby...). I just love the smell of
musky-money.

I have seen various references to CTCSS in my web searching, etc.
It has usually been in the context of:
"in order to eliminate receiving DES transmissions, set the CTCSS tone
to 103.5 Hz. This only opens the reciever for 'in-the-clear
transmissions."
I later saw an ad that stated:
"The BC 9000XLT has CTCSS capability with optional BC-005 CTCSS tone
board."
I have a PRO-62 and PRO-2037. Is this something I need, or need to
add or get modified? I saw no mention of CTCSS in the catalog or
instructions.
Thanks

When I mean Police Tahoes, I meant the package specifically marketed toward
the PD's by Chevrolet, and which are going to be built in Arlington, TX,
where the Caprices have just ended. The press kit I have (and the GM
website) states that they won't be produced until 1997.
Now, there may be Chevy Tahoes in service as police units, but not with

No RELM SCANNERS are made by Yupiture spelled wrong, but that should be good
quality from YUPI.
I mentioned to RON at relm to check into UNBLOCKED GOVT models so there maight
be a chance.

Brain,
All of the normal resources of a college research library can be useful to
this assignment.
Check Title 47 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations for the rules of the
Federal Communications Comission (http://law.house.gov/cfr.htm). All of the
U.S. Frequency allocations can be found here. Frequency allocation changes
which have not yet been updated in 47 CFR can be found in the Federal
Register. The FCC also has information available at their web site
(http://www.fcc.gov/). Check radio industry publications such as "Wireless
Week", "Radio Resource", "Mobile Radio Technology", "RCR", "Cellular
Business", and "Communications Week" for information about spectrum
auctions.
This is a very current topic in all of these periodicals. I am sure you
will have no problem in finding more than enough information for your
paper.

Can anyone tell me what CTCSS is. I have seen references to it and
have seen ads for scanners with CTCSS capability. What will this do
for me and how do I get it (for PRO-62 and 2037).

It isn't all that mysterious. The manual claims that the memory will
remain stored for UP TO two weeks when no DC power is applied. The
scanner could probably be upgraded with a lithium battery circuit to
allow it to store memory indefinitely, but isn't it easier just to
plug it in to 12 volts from time to time? What good is owning the
scanner in the first place if you aren't ever listening to it?
This was designed as a mobile scanner, and the intention was to have
it hooked to a 12 volt source on a regular enough basis to keep things
alive. It is doing what it was designed to do. Most people (myself
included) just power it from a wall-wart all the time and that keeps
it alive. That is much easier than redesigning and modifying the
instrument.

Hello Tim
I'm sorry, Monday I was at the University but all the computers were
down.
I couldn't update the file as I planned. There isn't another way for me
to put the file on the Net. At this moment I'm also working at a factory
and I don't have the time to go to the University.
As soon as I can I'll update the file. I'll promise.
Greetings,

Earlier this year I posted something to the effect that a simple
jumper would make it possible to receive cell phone images with the
Pro-26, which also has triple conversion. Lots of people have done
the mod and can verify that it is possible. I looked at the 3000XLT's
schematic and although the 800MHz band configuration is slightly
different (actually better than the Pro-26's), the jumper mod should
work as well. I would download the info for the 26 from whatever Web
page it's available, and then apply it to the 3000. Even though the
component numbering may be different, the same lockout principle for
individual RF sections applies, so one should be able to defeat it
as easily as with the 26.

If I remember correctly, it is in the same band as Ka radar (33.4 GHz
- 36.0 GHz) I do not know the exact frequency. However, if you have a
fairly sensitive detector without the safety warning feature, you might
still pick up the signal as a low level radar signal. Ofcourse you can
probably already see it by then.
My radar detector has this feature. Except for the power on self
tests, it has never indicated reception of a warning signal.

The manual for my HX1000 says to slide the reset switch in the battery
compartment to the far right for about 15 sec, and then return it to the
desired clock mode setting. Perhaps the same will work for the HX1500.

Nope, it's in the upper K band (24.5 GHz I believe). It's power out it
sufficient to give you quite a bit of warning.

Does anyone know how the PRO-63 and the SC-150 compare? I'm
looking to buy a first scanner and they're the only one's in my price
range that I know about. Talking to the RS salesman on the phone,
they sound almost identical.
Are their other scanners worth the money in that price range?
Thanks. 73

The Sportscat as with most 800mhz scanner only block a small portion
on the 800mhz band around 830 to 860 or so.(Not exact) most cell is in
that area in large cities. In smaller towns like mine most cell is 870
to 915 so you get to listen in. Neat huh?

This sounds awfully cheap to me. I thought Grove or someone was offering
to do this mod for somewhere around $200. What about the warranty on the
radio, did they promise the warranty would not be voided?

My car stereo has a jack built in for plugging in a portable CDplayer.
Works great for the scanner! Unfortunately, I don't see any new decks
with this feature..

Well, since my past postings on this matter caused so much debate, I
decided to continue posting the progress or lack thereof on this
matter to its conclusion....
Yesterday, Monday, 11/18 concluded 10 business days since the COD
Trace was initiated by UPS. Still no check.
Based on the recommendation of some folks here, I called the 800
number, spoke to a Supervisor, and requested that a "national
complaint" be filed on this matter. This would supposedly get some
type of action or response within 24 hours.
Well, 24 hours later...nothing, not even a phone call.
Despite what others here might think, I do not think a dialogue of
this type is flaming, but extremely important info for those here who
do business with COD, and MUST know the best way to conduct this type
of shipping.
The saga continues as we approach the date when it will be ONE MONTH
since the package was delivered......................

I have some questions about the serial link on the AR8000. I saw someone
who described a mod where you install a single 2.5mm jack on the radio
which connects to the radio's receive data line. You can also build a
simple RS232 to TTL converter with 2 resistors and a zener diode which
can converte the 232-level signals from computer to the TTL which the
radio wants.
With this setup, you can only send data from the computer to the radio,
not the other way. Suppose you were running ScanStar on the computer
would this work, or would the operation of the program be crippled by the
inability of the radio to talk back to the computer.
What about the Scout, does it only send data to the radio and would it
work with a single jack like this?
If you want a two-way interface are you required to install two jacks on
the radio?

Look at what Peter Arnett was able to do speaking via an InMarSat
phone from downtown Baghdad during Desert Storm, putting aside
the fact that it costs something like US$15 / minute.
Besides, the military is a monolithic entity with standardized
training and procedures. This is not the case in police work.
For starters, they use different abbreviations and have widely
varying communications infrastructures with different operating
procedures. There is no comparison between an Army communications
technician trained specifically to use the satellite equipment and
myriad police officers linking their police radios to a satellite system
every once in a great while and actually getting something communicated.
Ain't gonna happen!

My son has a learning disability and thus is allowed to use the Library of
Congress Audio Books on Tape collection. The local library has supplied him
with a tape player, but it is very bulky. It also does not take any kind of
expendable battery - the internal battery is rechargeable but permanent.
Recently, while check out some new tapes for my son at the library, I
stumbled upon some catalogs ôspecializing in products for the visually &
hearing impaired.ö In these catalogs are several different models of
cassette player/recorders for playing the Library of Congress audio tapes.
Annotated in the description of these players is the statement that they are
ômodifiedö versions of regularly obtainable major brand cassette
player/recorders. I e-mailed one of the companies asking a question above a
VOX model and in their reply they implied that their company modified these
units rather than the manufacturer.
Well, I got to thinking, why canÆt I just modify one of my existing cassette
tape players? This canÆt be all that hard for someone who knows their way
around a soldering pencil.
Does anyone have any info on modifying a 1 7/8 IPS player to play 15/16 IPS
tapes???
Thanks
Brian

I am interested in any experiences you have had with the Optoelectronics
APS 104 preselector.
What equipment did you use it with?
Did it perform as claimed?
Was it worth the money?
Any other choices you could recommend.
Does any body want to sell one.
(I responded to a email last week offering to sell one, but no answer.)

15/16? Is that 15/16" per second tape speed?
In any case, a lot of the recent tape players I've played with
(especially walkman type, but also desktop models) use a feedback
circuit to set the speed of the motor transporting the tape. Usually
there is a trim pot on a circuit board near where the motor leads are
connected to. Sometimes there is a separate PC board mounted near the
motor with the trimpot for adjusting the speed. There is probably
enough adjustment in this pot to reduce the speed to what you need.
If not, play around with the resistors on that section until you get
the desired results.

Just my 2 cents worth .. UPS is also in my opinion not very dependable.
I recently had a shipment sent UPS AIR 2 day service .. which I might add
arrived in 3 weeks. Not only that but there was a $60.00 "Customs Fee"
charge. Needless to say I was not impressed.
I live in Edmonton Alberta which is not a rural location so I cannot see
why UPS provides such poor service.
Even the mail service is faster ... and alot cheaper.
All I can say is 1-800-GO-FEDEX.

Nick,
For your price range, the best bang for your buck would be a
Uniden BC3000-XLT or a Radio Shack Pro-26(which is also made by
Uniden). Each of these can be had for $350 or less delivered.
For the Uniden, you might try Commmunications Electronics in
Michigan; for the Radio Shack, Pioneer Data in Oregon.
Good luck!

I think the PerCon CD is a good value at $30 but I would not call it
a great value simply because the interface is not very friendly or
flexible. Suffice it to say I was not pleased with its features
after installing it.
It gets kind of tiring for every search to have to select the state
I want to search in. There is no method(that I've found) to search
by multiple counties, cities, etc. I live near the boundary of
three counties and it is a real pain to do the same search three
times but with a different county to get what I want.
I previously used the Grove FCC database whose search options were
"infinitely" more flexible and usable than PerCon. And once you had
a screen full of results, you could print it out or revise the search.
Not so with PerCon, if you send the results to a screen and then want
them sent to the printer, you have to perform the search over again
from scratch and select the printer as the output.
I' think for '97 I'll be going back to Grove...it may cost a little
more and provide a little less but at least I can get the data I need
(the real reason for the existence of such a program) without having
to do multiple searches for each desired query.
'Nuf said. I'll shut up now...
Strong signals,
Rich Wells

I wouldn't call expecting 24 hour service (when it is advertised) being
"short fused." Now, if they had said "We'll call you back in a few
days," then maybe, but when a business advertises 24 hour turn around, it
is not unreasonable to expect such...

No problemo! Glad I could help someone. Unfortunately, my PRO-43
is a new one without cellular coverage, so I had nothing to lose anyway.
But, my 43 is modifidied internally quite a bit to interface it to the CE-232
PC->scanner interface. So Radio Shack repair probably would have had
a cow if they opened it up to repair it!

Hey Anthony....how short would YOUR fuse be if YOU had to endure this
lunacy, and wait this long for YOUR money?
I only mentioned 24 hours because those folks recommending the
"national complaint" route stated that this usualyy brings a response
within 24 hours.
Remember, we're not dealing with 24 hours, here.....it's been almost a
month since the package was shipped without any action, a phone
call...NOTHING!

Yes , with the proper mod it will transmit in that range....
However, you will be out out of its designated TX range, and I'm not
sure how efficient the signal is the farther you go from the 440 band.

If your thinking about getting a Opto. CUB
check out my page. Cordless phones feq's,
900mhz and a link so you will understand
the basics of Spread Spectrum. Give me some
ideas of what else to put on there. I want to
have as much info as possible. If you have a
link you want me to add to your homepage just
let me know and I'll add it. Give me some input
GOOD OR BAD! I can take it.

I tested both an ICOM R8500 and AOR AR5000 for Monitoring Times
magazine. The AR5000 review will be published in the December 1996
issue, due out next week.
The R8500 review will appear in the January 1997 issue.
Both radios work well. Neither of the units I tested are "dogs."
They are noteworthy exceptions to the heuristic that "receivers
which cover both shortwave and VHF/UHF are usually poor performers
in at least one domain."
The AR5000 is more flexible and has more features than the R8500
for VHF/UHF, but I found the R8500 easier to use and better built,
so I bought one -- mainly for VHF/UHF use.
The R8500 performs very respectably below 30 MHz, too.
It includes a noise blanker, missing from the AR5000.
I prefer the JRC NRD-535D for shortwave listening under
severe conditions because it has variable bandwidth,
passband tuning (instead of IF shift), and an IF notch.
The R8500 has alpha labels, many more channels than the NRD535D,
and a flexible bank arrangement. Lately, I've been controlling
and downloading frequencies into the NRD535D using the freeware
NRD program. The radios are located in the basement and the
computer is on the ground floor. One of my converted baby monitor
repeaters rebroadcasts around the house (on 49 MHz) whatever the
NRD hears.
It's frustrating to have a collection of high-end SWL
radios when the propagation is poor :-(
BTW, reprints of articles from Monitoring Times are available
for $2.00 each plus a self-addressed stamped envelope from:
Grove Enterprises, 300 S. Highway 64 West, Brasstown,
NC 28902. For a free catalog, call (704)837-9200.
Telephone (orders only): (800)438-8155.
I don't get any part of the $2.00.

There is no standard repeater offset for 150-160 region (frequency pairs
used for ship-to-shore telephone or IMTS telephone are an exception to
this). In many areas of the country, just finding two available frequencies
in this band is a problem. All business category operations are simplex
only.

I tried the low end Opto. It works but i need to be about 5 feet away
from a cell phone. I am looking into the Opto APS104 preselector-it is
supposed to extend the range conciderable.

Has anyone had any experience with the Bearcat BC-80XLT? I was also
looking at a Radio Shack Pro-25, and the only differences I can see are
that the BC has 50 less memory channels and costs $80 less.
50 channels is plenty for me (I live in a rural area), and I would like
to save the money. How well do these radios perform?
Thanks in advance for any advice--please e-mail me as well as posting.

Howdy all;
Just spoke with AEA on the phone (Bill) and he told me they are
selling off the last of the product lines now and going out of
business. The company is up for sale, but no takers out there.
Translated: support for the $1,000 DSP-2232 remains unchanged.

Try the usual Bugs/Body Mic freqeuncies. Or if you can get close enough
to the reciever to get a make and model, maybe the freq is on the
reciever.

Yup, I have a Watson, Radio Shack, and about 4 or 5 others that I've tried
on the AR8000. After seeing constant talk on the net about using the
Diamond 77CA antenna on the AR8000, I broke down and bought one just the
other day and _YES_, everything said about them is true, it is the best
antenna for full wide-band reception on the AR8000. I've tested it with
low shortwave signals, CB, cordless, business bands, 800mhz and it _easily_
outperforms all my other antennas, including telescopic. I didn't think
it could make a difference and figure the differences between the various
ones would be minute at best, but I was amazed.
Downsides: it's tall, like about 18" or so, and was like $35, so it's not
the cheapest, but damn it's good. Don't waste your time, take my word
for it. If you want something portable, this is the best.

Warranty was nearly gone and I felt confident that it wasn't going to DOA
on me due, but I'm sure it probably voids the warranty. I tried the
external speaker trick mentioned earlier thinking that maybe the audio was
just killing the speaker output (since it was worse on strong signals) and
it still had the same problem.
...and I knew the AR pretty well and have a pretty fine ear and would have
noticed if it came at the expense of selectivity, but I can't see to find
any problems. I dare say that it fixed the problem 99%, more than enough
for just about anyone.

I've yet to figure out why everyone finds cell phone reception so
fascinating. All I've ever heard is real estate agents, truckers
calling home "Hey, honey, I'll be home in about an hour", and stuff
like that. CB is more exciting. It has to be the "forbidden fruit"
syndrome. Am I missing something here?

It's been awhile since I hunted in San Fran for breaking
news....but from a sf cop i got the following system
breakdown for you.....
AS I said before, those numbers refer to sections of the
police in a generic way....
So "1 Car" refers to Administrative Bureau....such as
chief of police, his deputies, King Willie, Internal
Affairs, TAsk Forces, Wants and Warrants, etc.
So "3 Car" refers to: Field Operations Bureau
such as: Central Station or Park or Ingleside or ?
Op Center ; Canine Unit; Housing Units; Explosives
Detail...etc. Richmond Station too....Patrol Division
TAsk force....TAC units, etc. Anything in the field.
So "2 Car" refers to: Support Services Bureau
such as: CID, Property, motor vehicles, records, photo
TSB bureau, RAT coordinator, Housing Police Staff.
So "4 Car" refers to: Traffic Company
such: traffic details and training
So "5 Car" refers to: Investigation Division
such as: Personal Crimes, Auto Theft, Burglary
and Robbery, Fraud and stuff like Crimes Against
King Willie, Narc, etc.
That is it.....call SCanners Unlimited in San Carlos on
Laurel Street and ask for Glen and ask Glen to send
you a San Francisco Freq book by Mobile Radio Resources.
Tell him I sent y ou....

Edward the hlical works best of all. The polarization of the signals on
the
UHF milsat downlinks is circular polarized (right hand if I remember
right).
When ran some basic plans in the second issue of ST for a helical if I
remember right.
Good Luck and all the UHF mil bandplans are now available on the Ute
World

I have seen various references to CTCSS in my web searching, etc.
It has usually been in the context of:
"in order to eliminate receiving DES transmissions, set the CTCSS tone
to 103.5 Hz. This only opens the reciever for 'in-the-clear
transmissions."
I later saw an ad that stated:
"The BC 9000XLT has CTCSS capability with optional BC-005 CTCSS tone
board."
I have a PRO-62 and PRO-2037. Is this something I need, or need to
add or get modified? I saw no mention of CTCSS in the catalog or
instructions.
Thanks

I've noticed that too. Triple conversion doesn't mean no images, just
at a different freq.

It has a lot of featurs for the close-out price of $200. But it has
some limitations with the squelch, sensitivity, and succeptibility to
noise. If you want to monitor weak signals, I'd stay away.

here in atlanta, we get logads of good conversations. especially

but you're right, cb is exciting too. mainly cause the fcc wont

In some areas, a "3 car" would mean a patrol car with 3 officers in
it. Usually it patrols high-crime areas & is somewhat reserved for runs
like bar fights, to break-up small parties, etc.

characters - total size 3,131,387 characters) posted to 12 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp, misc, and rec hierarchies
(with cross-posts into alt groups) as follows:
8 rec.music.hip-hop
5 comp.text.pdf
3 rec.music.makers.synth
alt.music.makers.electronic
alt.music.midi
comp.music.midi
1 rec.sport.pro-wrestling
1 rec.radio.scanner
1 rec.games.programmer
1 rec.games.chinese-chess
1 rec.autos.driving
1 rec.arts.poems
1 comp.sys.palmtops
1 alt.dumpster
misc.consumers.frugal-living
The cancels in non-targeted groups are a consequence of the way
cross-posts work. A cross-posted article has only one Message-ID.
When it is canceled from one group it is canceled from all groups.
This pointer is being posted to each affected group listed above.
Follow-ups are directed to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet.
If you want to see exactly which file was deleted from a particular
group, read the full report in news.admin.net-abuse.announce. The
full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
Look for AR727 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it,
use <URL:news:ARMM-Report-727@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us>.
The criteria used to search for this batch of large binaries were:
NEWSGROUPS: Unmoderated akr, biz, comp, misc, news, rec, or sci
(except for comp.binaries.apple2, comp.bugs.2bsd,
and rec.games.bolo)
BINARY: base64, binhex, uuencode, and xbtoa encoded files, etc.
SIZE: > 100,000 characters [(size * (# of parts - .5)), if multi-part]
If you must post a binary to Usenet, please post it *only* to an
appropriate binaries newsgroup such as alt.binaries.misc, and do *not*
crosspost it to non-binaries groups. Then, if you like, post something
in the appropriate discussion group telling people where to find the
binary in the binaries group (a pointer to the binary). This will
permit news administrators and users to decide for themselves whether
to receive the binary files.
For more information about binary cancels, see the bincancel FAQ,
<URL:http://ursula.uoregon.edu/~geniac/binfaq.txt>.
Please direct public feedback to news.admin.net-abuse.usenet and private
feedback to red@redpoll.mrfs.oh.us. In the interests of preventing
cross-posted flame wars, please honor the followup-to header and do
*not* cross-post your reply to multiple groups. Thank you for your
cooperation.

The RS frequency counter I own does not compare to Opto's. It's good
for close-in counting, but otherwise it tends to count everything in
sight. You'll likely have to place the counter's telescoping antenna
within inches of the source to determine the transmission frequency. I
think that rules out "sleuthing."

And one more and bend left and one.... Some people just have too much time
on their hands...
Well have you tried some of the other bands? Like 49.8450,49,8600,49.8750
and 49.8900 which a good number of headset wireless sets use. Otherwise
they can be all over the spectrum as LPU (low power units). Some frequencies
that wireless mikes can be on are
35.9800
36.7000
154.6000
170.1500
170.2250
173.4300
174.0000
174.2700
178.2100
180.0000
180.6000
186.0000
192.0000
198.0000
204.0000
210.0000
There may also be some UHF units and some 900 Mhz units out there. These
all will be low power, so you probably won't hear them all that far 100'
to 500' maybe. But seeing how they are in constant use you may have to
either get a frequency counter, or just search to whole spectrum...

No surprise to me.
I have been through the great state of North Carolina while traveling
many times and they don't say a whole lot. At least I haven't heard
a whole lot that meant anything. Mostly a ton of transmissions from
a male dispatcher on 42.50 saying "gweeeeeed", his way of saying
"go ahead", and "tayur" for "10-4".
The only other time I heard genuine police activity was when I
was heading north on I-95 north of Dunn, N.C. and several troopers
were trying to locate some car for something, perhaps a robbery
suspect fleeing on the interstate. They talked a lot car-to-car,
the first time I had ever heard such activity. It was so surprising
to me that I took the opportunity to get gasoline early and listen
to the traffic in peace and quiet for a few minutes instead of driving.
Before and since I just don't really hear much from them when
passing through.
What I do know: they use 2-frequency simplex, so you hear the base
station on one frequency and the mobiles on another. Unless, of course,
the mobiles are talking car-to-car, when they use straight simplex.
They are on low band between 42.50 and 42.86 or something like that.
Ho boy! You're in luck because I just pulled out my handy dandy
I-95 scanner list for state patrols.
155.445 hand held extenders (vehicular repeaters--most important!)
42.70 F9 mobile
42.50 F9 base
42.80 F3 mobile
42.52 F3 base
42.66 F5 mobile
42.60 F5 base
42.78 F1 mobile
42.62 F1 base
42.76 F7 mobile
42.64 F7 base
42.66 F6 car-car (same as F5, notice)
42.86 F11 mobile
42.82 F11 base
42.84 F12 state-wide
Note 1: The above list is from an old, old dBase file a friend
downloaded from
some bbs back before the World Wide Web even rearched across DARPA's
basement. :) I cannot vouch for the currency of it, but I have heard
activity on some of these frequencies as recently as this past Summer of
1996.
It also lists several high band frequencies, but I never heard anything
besides paging interference, so I don't think they use these; they just
have the F.C.C. allocation and that's why they are on this guy's list.
Note 2: That PAC-RT frequency listed as hand held extenders is extremely
important for you highway travelers. If you hear 2-way radio activity
on this channel, then you are within about 1 mile of a highway patrol
unit. The meaning of this is left as an exercise to the driver.
Anybody with corrections or updates, please feel free to do so.
I am as interested as the original correspondents.
Thanx!

From experience I do not completely agree. I have several rubber duckies as
well as the 46" Grove extendable whip. Especially getting up to 800 Mhz, the
whip in collapsed position is not as sensitive as my dual band 8" long whip
from my Yaesu FT530. I agree that the whip is, overall, most versatile, BUT..
.
get real! - I would not want to run around with a stiff rod on
the AR8000, which, if it hits a wall, car door, etc will either snap itself or
worse, snap the AR8000 connector. The AR8000 is relatively fragile - that is
why I always leave a whip attached.

Ken, I believe you meant 460, typo i'm sure, but you might be interested
to know that the auto-theft detail and other undercover and survelliance
things can be heard in the 70mhz range. Specific frequencies aren't
available, as they change constantly, and are usually simplex or thru a
mobile repeater.

So, are you saying that cops can't figure out how to run a satellite
system? You mean the same group of people who got all screwed up when they
put ABS in the Caprices? Something tells me we'd see cell phones in every
car before satellite trunked systems. Just a perspective from the
"inside."

Sure will,
but let me get the manual,
so I can go through the features in an organized manner.
I'll tell you this...
Whoever said a problem with this scanner is the inability to lockout
freqs in a scan bank is drawback is 100% correct. I have no other
real complaints.... well audio is low, but what do I expect on
2 AA, in a 1/2 pack of smokes size scanner....
Posting of info will follow next week.........

If it is anything like the Standard C508A dual band handheld, it is well
worth the money. The C508A has excellent coverage of the 800 Mhz band,
as well as VHF-Hi and UHF (aircraft too!). The audio is understandably
low. A good tip: The C508A uses two "AA" batteries also. Go to
Wal-Mart or Radio Shack and get the Energizer "AA" lithium batteries. A
bit more expensive ($4.88/pair) at Wal-Mart, but they last QUITE a long
time!

Actually, a triple-conversion scanner only means that it'll be
more resistant to image reception. In other words, it's very likely that
you will not be able to pick up cell images at all. =(
The form of conversion only determines how well the scanner
"rejects" images. It doesn't determine the how far off any images
deviate. (Deviation is determined by the scanner Intermediate frequency).

While listening to trunked freqs here in NJ, I stumbled on an

(this was two days after the November elections). And he was screaming
and cussing to one of his campaign workers about how apparently, someone
gathered information about him misappropriating funds, information that he
gave out on (you guessed it) his cell phone.
And he was demanding to know _how_ anyone could have tapped his

Wonderful scanner...especially when you consider that they're on
sale at RS for $200. This scanner is the successor to the Pro-43.
It is practically identical in size, features and sensitivity.
The new Direct feature is almost like having a VFO...punch in the
frequency, press Direct and listen...use the up/down keys to
step through frequencies.
Another new feature allows the Manual button to step forward or
backward through the memory channels.
The LCD is a tad bigger but still borders on "kinda small". The
backlight is green and JUST BARELY adequate.
I do not like how they changed the Search feature. To start
or resume a limit search, you have to press AND HOLD DOWN an
arrow key until it begins searching again. This is because
they allow a single arrow keypress to step through frequencies
one step size at a time. Kind of a pain in the backside when
you're used to a single press of an arrow or SRCH key.
The Pro-60 is still a power hog since it uses 6 AAs...this
should be no surprise since it is basically a Pro-43.
Overall its a very worthy successor to the Pro-43 and a steal
at $200!
Strong signals,

You're listening during the wrong time.
I doubt that you will hear anything on Chicken Band that is as exciting
or entertaining than on the cellbands. Listen on a Friday or Saturday
after midnight - and it will be better than any soap opera on TV.
There are drunks, drug deals, cheating, lovers' quarrels, 1-900
phone-surfing, breakups, makeups, people in bizarre situations, etc.
It's more entertaining than ANY TV program out there...even Rikki Lake.
You'll never want to watch TV again.
a warning though...you'll hear an interesting conversation which with
your luck, the call will switch cell sites. You'll then frantically tune
up and down the band trying to find the rest of the conversation which
you'll may or may not find again.

I tried using an FM radio adaptor and found the freq constantly drifted
at the output of the adaptor, requiring constant tuning of your car's
receiver.
What works MUCH better is a car cassette adaptor, with consists of an
empty cassette housing with a reversed polarized head installed and has a
thin wire coming out to be plugged into the ear output of the scanner (or
port CD player.) This has worked quite well for me, no prob at all. Of
course, if your car stereo has no cassette, your options are limited to
the FM device.

Using my handy Optoelectronics Scout, I was able to snatch the input freq
from one of the guys in the parking garage. Ok, so it wasn't quite that
sneaky -- I went up to him and asked him to key it and I showed him how
the Scout could pick it up.
Anyway, I now have the input freq for a repeater (I know that they use one).
Is there any standard freq offset for repeaters or could it just be random?
Does regular business band stuff usually have a standard offset?
...if it could be anything, would it be safe to guess that the last few
digits would be the same? (ie: 156.225 input, 156.525 repeater?)
Any veterans out there have an idea?
Thanks!

I have it and it works well except that the foxpro data base front end
is a bit limited.
The data base itself is (bunches) of megs but its only one file which
is part of why things take so long. The second reason it is slow has
to do with the fact that the data is on CD-rom and therefore slow.
Heres how I sped mine up.
I put the CD in, used microsoft access and 'extracted' the data for
maryland (where I live). I saved the resulting 10MB file on my
harddrive using the same filename theat percon used for the origional
file.
I copied the program files off the CD onto my harddrive. Now I can run
it off the harddrive MUCH faster! ( especially since it doesn't have
to search through 49 other states. I guess I could have made a bigger
file holding say the surrounding states as well but It wasn't n issue
for me.
You can use other database programs on the data and get around the
foxpro interface so that there's more versatility.
Considering that its complete, covers all 50 states, and not that much
more than buying police call, and beyond police call at RS so that you
have 80% of the listings for your area, I think its a good deal.

VHF high and low have no standard repeater offset, except in
the ham bands where the offset is 1 MHz on 10 meters (29
MHz) and 600 kHz or .6 MHz on 2 meters (146 MHz area).
UHF has two offsets, 3 and 5 MHz, depending on which
subband. Hams use 5 MHz on the 70cm (440 MHz) band, as do
commercial users on 450-454 and 460-464 MHz. They use 3 MHz
in the "T-band" above 480 MHz.
800 MHz has a 45 MHz offset.

Funny, , , I don't have that problem. Of course the sites I look
at don't have all that much traffic, but it usually performs quite
well at about twenty or thirty feet, or even more. I find a freq,
and immediately tune it in on my handheld, and there it is! I

What's this Diamond RH707? Just another rubber duckie/whip?
With extremely rare exceptions, handheld scanner antennas are just a straight
length of conductor. The only significant difference between them is the
length of the conductor. It always amazes me to see shops selling fairly
expensive antennas that are, effectively, just a straight length of
conductor!
And the comparisons ... "XYZ antenna is better than ABC antenna". All that
matters (to the receiver) is the length, so most of the cheap telescoping
whips are a far better bet than *any* rubber duck because the length can be
varied. This makes the whip more flexible, and if you set it to the same
length as a $40 rubber duck they will perform exactly the same.
I suspect that people think that you have to extend a whip all the way, which
will of course favour lower frequencies. But if the whip is set to the same
length as any expensive alternative, there will be no difference in
performance at all. (Of course there may be differences in usability, an
rigid telescoping antenna might not suit your requirements).
Price does not necessarily correlate with performance and value.
Daniel.

i hate this. you can usually scan down or up a few MHz or so
and find it again. from what i can tell, htough, it doesn't
necessarily have to be switching sites. can one cell swap
a caller's frequency in the middle of a call for security
reasons? it appears to me that this is what's happening most
of the time. i can listen to one call for a super long time,
having the freq change every minute or two.

Do you turn the squelch down [ i.e. off ] when listening to a call once

In the last few days, several people have launched BINARIES in this
news group. one or two of them have had the courage to and grace to
apologise for doing so.
More and more binaries are appearing and I fear that many people are
taking it for granted that it is in order to do so.
I can, perhaps understand a person wanting to do it when it is
possibly of global interest, but even then, not everyone wants to be
inflicted with big files.
I can not understand how any one can imagine global interest in local
frequencies (like a recent one giving an Australian city frequencies)
and then inflict thousands of lines of a binary on everyone.
OK so I have had my gripe, lets hear a what YOU think about binaries.
Is it in order to post them here. or what would you advise potential
binary posters to do to get their gems to potential recipients?
No flames, no bad laguage just your thoughts in a constructive way.

Hello Brian
We are in private email on another subject but I thought I would reply
in public incase it is of help to others as well.
My daughter is visually handicapped and has had special aids to help.
One of them was a cassette recorder that has variable speed control
system. I don't know if it will help you, or even if it is still
available. Here are the details on the machine.
REALISTIC brand. Type VSC-2000 Calalog No 14-1060A
The label on the back reads:-
Costum manufactured in Taiwan for TANDY CORPORATION
It looks and operates like any regular cassette recorder/player. Takes
standard cassettes and ordinary "C" batteries as well as ac input.
BUT also has a special variable speed/speech control.
The speed control allow you to slow down to 0.8 of normal and
infinately variable speed up to double normal speed.
In addition to this, there is a speech control that is independant to
the speed control: IE they can be set to seperate settings OR they can
track each other OR one or the other can be used on its own.
Speed control is obvious but the speech control actually process the
frequency of the speech so that if it is used for listening to text
from books, you can increase the speed to say 1.5 times normal and
then reduce the high pitch sound back to normal.
After a bit of practice, it is possible to run a 30 minute text in 15
minutes and still understand it.
Perhaps a call to Radio Shack or Tandy Corporation HQ will find out if
it is still available. It may only be available through stores or
institutions specialising in special products for the hadicapped
fraternity. If tandy still do it (or it's successor) they should be
able to point you in the right direction.
Failing that Brian, I could see if one is available over here and
"export" one to you. I cannot remember where we got ours from,
possibly the Instution for the Blind.
We have had ours for ten years (Believe it or not, Elizabeth never
used it & now I have it for recording "things")
She is all grown up now, gone through University and has BA (hons)!!
I wish you and you son well Brian, let me know if you want me to
research this side of the damp patch...
Regards
Donald Gray

The North Carolina Highway Patrol uses around 20 low band frequencies
to communicate with all patrol cars. There are several high band
frequencies. In addition, computer displays are beginning to be used.
Also, lots of the troupers have scanners, local police walkies, and
cellular phones. Their cars are beginning to look like antenna farms.
Each district a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h, is followed by up to 7 or 8
subdistricts, for instance C-7 would be the Durham-Oxford area. Each
car has numbers assigned linking to these districts, for instance
C-711 is a sargent in the Durham-Oxford area, so is C-722 and C723,
regular patrol officers under these sargents start with numbers C-730
and upward. Example: The above district uses 42.66 car to base,
42.60 base to car and car to car. This is dispatched out of Raleigh.
There are numerous other pairs used for other districts dispatched out
of Raleigh. 42.80 and 42.52 being the other most used. Greensboro,
likewise, uses several pairs for their operations, the most common
being 42.78 and 42.62 for the piedmont area I monitor. Also, I
monitor some of the point to point repeater sites that take the low
band frequency and shoot it to Raleigh via UHF. The North Carolina
State Patrol frequencies are the most exciting, most active, most
professional use of police communications I have ever monitored. I
have a Cushcraft low band commercial antenna 700 ft. MSL with UHF beam
for point to point. I use several older crystal tuned receivers and
can hear car to car, and car to base, direct 100 miles. In the 30
years I have had this as a hobby, I can truly say they are better than
the tv show "Cops" on many, many days. Look for 10-43 (chase) numerous
evenings in the spring, fall and summer, especially on full moon
weekend evenings starting around 10:30 pm.

Several years ago, a friend of mine downloaded from some news group,
over 50 pages of information on NC State Patrol communications
operations. I think the origination of the information was the 1994
RCMA Scanner Journal. This was very accurate information, most of
which I knew, having monitored for 30 years. I wonder where these
people are now. Is this still published? I need new information
concerning point to point frequencies Greensboro dispatch uses for
satellite receiver sites which may be repeating east of Greensboro car
to base traffic. Thanks in advance. I should update my Email
address, the last post used the old one, now CastleCain@person.net

Radio Shack sells the cassette adapter. I think its $19.95.
I bought one of these a couple of years ago.

I have monitored the LoJack frequency (173.075) and heard tone bursts.
I wonder if LoJack is available Nationwide -- or just specific areas?

Well, yesterday 11/20, AND today, 11/21 I received Laser printed
"Delivery Notification" letters from UPS telling me the info on the
shipment , (info I already had), and the following:
"According to our records, 1 COD parcel was paid for by UPS check
number XXXXXX remitted to you on 11/14/96, for the amount of $355.00."
The notice I received yesterday was dated 11/16/96, and the one I
received today was dated 11/19/96 and both were sent to me in NJ from
Newport NEws, VA....
BUT STILL NO STINKING CHECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No phone call from anyone, EVER as well.......
I do not know if "remitted" means a check was CUT, or put into the
mail, nor do I know where it is to be mailed from.
Well, back to the phones today...the folks at the customer service
phones are starting to get to know me on a first name basis....<G>
And the saga continues.....stay tuned......

like to have ant an all opinons on what I should get. I am focusing on

First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything
illegal with my computer, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was
too much smut on the Internet anyway, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty
stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never
figure out how to work PGP anyway, so I didn't speak up.
Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left

Do go for the wireless method.
Myself and a friend have both experieced broken tape drive belts.
We feel the mechanical load is too much for at least several makes of

Has anyone else had this problem?

If anyone wants to listen to your phone conversations, it's probably
easier to bug your house or tap your phone at the wireline part,
rather than trying to capture and decode digitized Spread Spectrum.
If a person is that worried about being heard, don't use the phone.

Well, I hope those of you that have been following this tale of whoa
are sitting down....
I did something today I should've done at the outset, check with the
package recipient to verify how the COD was paid. I ASSUMED it was
paid for by CASH, as that is what I specified.
Today, the recipient told me that he paid for the COD with a U.S.
Postal Service MONEY ORDER MADE OUT TO ME!
Can you believe it? I thought this was the best way to do a UPS COD
transaction?
When I originally began to trace this payment, they told me the
package was paid for with CASH. Today they told me it was paid for by
CHECK..thats what prompted me to check back with the package
recipient.
I am seriously beginning to think something underhanded has occurred
here. I'm praying the recipient kept the M.O. receipt.......
Have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better.

This is a good source but be advised that on the 800Mhz system that Reedy
creek
Is a seperate trunked system from WDW
also on the WDW system there is some digital encryption that will be an
annoyance
You will probably also want the new orange county and orlando trunked

I own a Uniden BC3000 scanner. I am looking for a reputable company
or individual to modify it by installing a jack so I can get the
baseband audio.
I have been playing around with some POCSAG software (PD.EXE) using
the headphone jack. This does not work very well at all. The volume level
needs to be changed constantly.
From what I have read I need the NFM baseband audio. I believe this comes
from IC-202 pin 12. I have looked at the circuit board and I don't think
I could get a wire attached to this pin. If there is another connection
point please let me know. If you have this mod please let me know how
well it works. If there are detailed instructions somewhere on doing
this mod please point me to them.
Also, Is there any need to have a baseband audio ouput for WFM or AM?
Thanks.......Mike

In the VHF and Federal Goverment allocations, the offset between the
mobiles and their related bases/repeaters is mostly pot luck. Where the
FCC has allocated bands with fixed offsets, the frequencies (in MHz) are:
Base/Repeater Mobiles Offset
152 157-158 (note) VHF mobile phone / Taxis
160-162 156-157 - 4.6 Maritime VHF

450-455 455-460 + 5
457 467 +10 Maritime on-board UHF
460-465 465-470 + 5

851-896 806-851 -45
935-940 896-901 -39
Notes: VHF phones offsets are: 152.03-.21 +6.46; 152.51-.81 +5.26
Taxi offsets are: 152.27-.45 +5.26
Maritime VHF coastal stations are 160.625-162.025 MHz.
Maritime on-board UHF repeaters are 457.525-.600
In the 'T-band' (TV chs 14-20), bases are in the lower 3 MHz
of each 6 MHz channel.
The 800 MHz Air-Ground telephone usage is reversed - ground
stations are on the lower freqs (849-851 MHz).

As a general rule, it is not appropriate to post binaries larger than
50 kb to groups that are not binaries only. I find it very irritating
to accidentally download a large binary that shouldn't be in the news
group to start with but I don't do it too often anymore :)

Who is on it?
I was last driving through Brevard County, Florida in July and
thought I still heard fire department dispatches on 154.415 or
whatever that high band frequency is that escapes my mind right now.
Is the fire department on it?

[ much excellent information deleted ]
Could you describe the use of these high-band frequencies, please?
The listing from which I took the low-band frequencies the other
day also shows these high-band frequencies and comments:
154.92 hand-held extenders (PAC-RT)
154.68 PAC-RT secondary
155.19 base-to-base
155.475 NLEEC [every police department in the universe licenses this one
whether or not it is used]
155.505 repeater, 42.78 mobiles
159.21 mobile control
Perhaps you could elaborate or correct these freqs. and comments.

I have heard what sounds like a translator or repeater coming out
on, I think, 42.84, not real strong but I figured they must have
an extensive radio system to cover the whole state. Do they dispatch
most everything out of Raleigh? I would have figured that they
divided it up into regions the way Virginia does.

Although I wasn't using the best antenna on my car when I drove through
the state, it seemed that the NCHP freqs. were the least active of
any state between Virginia and Florida. I'll have to borrow a decent
antenna for my next journey. Maybe I'm missing some key freqs.?

It's probably just a choice of words , the last time I sent something
COD via UPS the fine print on the form stated that *CASH* was deemed
to be actual money, a certified check or a money order.
No doubt it's *no* consolation to you but any *huge* company that
makes millions of transactions a year is going to *screw-up* on

statistical nonsense because of the *millions* of transactions that

I checked, the California State Police and the CHP have merged, although

I regurlarly have my FM stereo, scanner, 2M, and a CB going at the
same time. The volumes are set pretty much equal so I can concentrate
on the one I want (if they are all active at the same time).

I very highly doubt that calls swap cells merely to make them more
difficult to listen to. The cellular switching system is overburdened
enough as it is. Cell handoffs are done only because the location of the
phone changes, or to balance the load between cells. Also, remember that
cells are _very_ small in places like downtown Atlanta, your average car
is not going to stay in the same cell for more than a minute. Every
cell can handle 48 calls at the same time (actually most of them are
divided into thirds which each handle 16 calls). Given the huge number
of people with cellphones, each area has to be quite small.
And remember, why would the cell providers have a need to make calls
change cells just for security. After all, the ECPA prohibits people
from listening in.

No, because the radio was never designed to receive these frequencies to
begin with. Below 25Mhz is not really scanner frequencies anyway, you
should get a shortwave receiver if you want to pick these up. The other
blocked out band has nothing but audio from UHF TV stations anyway, if
you really want this you should get a small portable TV and you'll have a
picture to boot. Costs less for a TV than to get a scanner which gets
these freqs.

Taken from my local paper Thursday 22nd November 1996
"MoD pulls plug on McDonald's radio"
A radio system used at a drive-in restaurant has been ordered off the
air - after apparently interfering with military channels.
Staff at the McDonald's drive in restaurant did not have a nice day
when
the men from the ministry arrived to pull the plug on their new
system.
The radio headsets were delivered to the fast-food outlet just a few
weeks ago, but it is understood the Dutch manufacturer had not checked
whether they could cause interference with other British channels.
There were claims today that the radio sets had interfered with the
military channels - and left puzzled soldiers from the Garrison
getting
orders for Big Macs and fries.
A spokesman for McDonald's today said restaurant staff had been
shocked
when ordered to stop using the radios, but stressed they have received
no complaints about the radio headsets from the Garrison.
"The Radio Communications Agency called in to see us on Tuesday and
asked us to stop using a particular frequency for our radio, system so
we did," he added.
A spokesman for The Radio Communications Agency said "The equipment
was
unlicensed and operated on frequencies which interfered with other
users."

I really like my Diamond Disconne. It is well built with

but it sure is flexible.

I second that! There is tons more on cellular in the big city than CB.
Tune in CB and you hear almost nothing except for 1 or 2 channels!

I have used UPS COD frequently and have had to call their 800 number
to track down a check or money order that supposedly had been
"remitted" to me. Recently, I have come to expect a least a 10
working day turn around before you have it in your hands regardless of
cash, check or money order. A call to the UPS 800 number can put you
in contact with the COD accounting department, but don't expect a
quick reply. Once I had received a money order and 5 days later
received a call from UPS telling me I could place a tracer on it.
Dealing with UPS COD is truly an exercise in patience. Just be
prepared to wait. for your money up to 2 weeks.

The answer is imaging. I have a stranger case of a Bearcat 185 that
only goes up to 512 picking up cellphones by way of harmonics and
image. To tell for sure if it's imaging, find a freq with phones and
another service; if the phones drop out when the other service
transmits, you've got an image(the phones are an image, I mean.)

REPAIR TIPS: BEARCAT SCANNER RADIOS
Copyright 1993 - 1996 by Bob Parnass, AJ9S
Here's just a small portion of it. If you cannot locate it anywhere
else, send me a piece of EMail (sysop@atdbbs.com) and I will send a copy
to you via return EMail.
==========================================================
Schematics, Owner's Manuals, and Parts Available
The re-incorporated Electra Corporation, (317)326-4419, is
able to effect repairs on some older (pre-Uniden) Bearcat
scanners. They sell crystals, antennas, power cords,
owner's manuals ($11 ea). Electra Corporation is located
at 251 N. 300 W. Greenfield, IN 46140-8496.
Some schematic diagrams may be obtained from
Uniden/Bearcat's parts department, (800)297-1023. Uniden
currently charges a flat rate of $54 for scanner repairs.
They will repair and return "out of warranty" items without
an estimate unless the repair charges exceed the flat rate
charges. The phone number for repair is also (800)297-
1023.
If Uniden doesn't have a schematic, try obtaining a
Photophacts from Howard Sams Publishing division of
Prentice-Hall at (800)428-7267.
G & G Communications (telephone (716)768-8151) is a family
owned company which repairs scanners and stocks parts for
several older models, especially Electra/Bearcat and
Regency brands, but they don't sell manuals or schematics.
They are located at 9247 Glenwood Drive, LeRoy, NY 14482.

...
The Electra/Bearcat BC350, BC300, BC250, BC220, BC20/20,
BC211, BC210, and BC210XL models were hand assembled, and
every one I've serviced had several connections that were
either soldered poorly, or not soldered at all.
===========================================================
There's a LOT more BC-210-specific hints and tips!

If you're still looking for ways to patch scanner into car audio:
Here's what I have done:
!! If you will be using car power for scanner (ie cig. lighter adapter)
make sure scanner is negative ground, esp. the earphone jack !!
I took an old earphone cable, ran it in back of car radio.
Hooked 20 ohm resistor between audio hot and ground (dummy load)
Ran audio thru .1 mfd capacitor, then thru 10k ohm resistor to center
connection on left section of car radio volume control.
Other variations are possible -- dual 10k resistors going to both
section for scanner audio from both channels for instance. Or
hooking audio into top connection of volume control.
You may have to experiment with the resistor values if volume levels
are out of whack. Start testing with volumes both turned way down.
Try playing I can't drive 55 (Sammy Hagar?) while listening to
a multiple car hi speed chase.

Am I missing something? Probably am, but, I thought that they did
away with the State Police, and the CHP took over their duties.
Including duties at the State Capital, etc, etc, , , NO?

I believe that the State Police were incorporated into the CHP just
about a year ago. It is all now one agency.

Hey fellow scanner buffs - check out
http://www.olympusamerica.com/recorder/l400/l400.html
Olympus L-400 mini-cassette recorder. VOX recording, auto-reverse while in
record mode.
This would be great for over-night recording or monitoring.
Don't know what the retail price on this is.
Cheers

To Bote and others:
Thanks for the confidence in "much excellent data", here is some info
on the point to point repeater sites (page 149 of the 1996 Police call
directory): I monitor the output of the Oxford WGM675 (FX) on what I
can describe as a lobe. I am west of the site but anyone within line
of site between Raleigh and Oxford will have this clearly with the
proper antenna. The input is 42.66, the channel 5 car to base freq.
The output is listed in the book. Somewhere east of there, WGM597 in
Liberia takes the channel 3 car to base freq. of 42.80 and shoots that
to Raleigh, I get that if atmospheric conditions allow. The output is
listed in the book. Since many cars throughout the state use 42.66
and 42.80 as their car to base freq., I sometimes hear cars at the
extreme ends of the state hit those repeaters.
Now, I am interested in what may not have reached the directory as of
yet. A site east of Greensboro repeating 42.78. Dosen't any HP
dispatcher or tech monitor this group?
Thanks, WA4KHA

Hi, I have a cell modified Pro 43 and I also listen to shortwave. If you
can tell me how to modify to pick up the extra FREEBAND, please email
me.

I've been scanning for only about a month. I like to listen to local
emergency and airplane channels while I shave. Almost sliced my neck this
morning when I heard an American Airlines pilot delcare an emergency. I
don't have my rooftop antenna connected yet, so I couldn't hear the
controller side. A few minutes later, I picked up another pilot asking if
the American jet made it down OK. A little later, the local news was
carrying the story that the jet (an MD-80) had vacuumed-up some ducks on
take-off from Sacramento, lost power in one engine and returned OK.
Wonder how long I'll have to listen to pick up another like this?

I know this thread came up a couple of months ago but I was in Toys 'R
Us today and saw these kiddie cell phones. They advertise "Totally
private conversations" and "a range of three city blocks". You can
address other phones by a four digit code or enter wildcards in certain
digit positions to attempt group calls. I asked to read the owners
manual for frequency information but found none. Only a reference to
adhering to Part 15 of the FCC rules. I guess it means its using less
than 100 mW. Is it digital or analog AND WHAT FREQ IS IT?

I second that! There is tons more on cellular in the big city than CB.
Tune in CB and you hear almost nothing except for 1 or 2 channels!

It's on the 904-916MHz arena and is basically a party line type system.
Theres a way to program into the thing actual "Channels" so others can't
listen in. This may be in the form of a CTCSS tone or DCS but I'd be
willing to bet a scanner could nail it.

I have had both at one time or another comments as follows:
The AOR 8000 I just purchased (Used) In general it is not as good as the
Yupi 7100.
It is better at SW & MW, but I do not use it for these freq's.
I loaded it up with Mil air freq's and it hit a lot of "Birdies"
I have not yet tried it out on normal VHF UHF like Public Ute's and HAM
freq's. So I cannot tell you how well it works there.
It really is not as good as the PRO 43 for that matter.
It does have a LOT of features.
The Yupi was a good solid receiver for scanner freq's (Above SW)

a likewise mint radio shack Pro-43 handheld scanner. The Pro-43 should be

I've been working on some programs to control the AOR AR2700 from the
PC port. Initially I'm concentrating on upload and download of the
memory bank information, then some control of the VFO.
I've come up with a couple of questions I hope someone can help with.
1) What is the process to store information into the SRCH memory???
When you query it is in the format:
SR1 SL0869040000 SU0893970000 AU0 MD1 ST030000 AT0
It doesn't take when I write that back!! (After changing it to
something else!!!)The SCAN bank MX command works perfectly!
2) What is to be used for the UP/DOWN arrows in a dumb terminal
program??? The actual ASCII or HEX data would be helpful.
This is interesting stuff ... my interests in C programming and
scanning meet!!! :-)

I can give ya alot more of the particular assigned areas and channels... You
are correct, they are, as a general rule, most professioal and interesting to
listen to. I have very little access to them at home, but my pick-up is
equiped with a Motorola low-band mobile and it can hear dispatch up to 100
miles away but cars only around 10-20 miles.

Hi, Wayne here.
I posted that "how many answers" thing toward all the people doing the
answering, not the guy doing the asking! Can folks not see how many
replies he already had before posting their own?
Jeese, it is not that big a deal! Lighen-up everyone, life is too short!!!

Hi all!
Mil air is my specialty!
Here is my list.
275.800 Snowbirds CH. 1
295.600 Snowbirds CH. 2
310.800 Snowbirds CH. 3
227.600 Snowbirds CH. 4
243.400 Snowbirds CH. 5
240.500 Snowbirds CH. 6
378.500 Snowbirds CH. 7
266.300 Snowbirds CH. 8
294.500 Snowbirds CH. 9
322.800 Snowbirds CH. 10
245.700 Snowbirds CH. 11
316.500 Snowbirds CH. 12
344.500 Snowbirds CH. 13
356.600 Snowbirds CH. 14
236.600 Snowbirds CH. 15
283.900 Snowbirds CH. 16
363.800 Snowbirds CH. 17
289.400 Snowbirds CH. 18
245.000 Snowbirds CH. 19
239.800 Snowbirds CH. 20
However, 245.750 (not on list) seems to be used nearly always as of late
(last 3 or 4 years here in Canada). It seem to be their standard freq.
The others are for alternates if their main freq is in use at the location
of the show.
I am part of a crew that makes professional videos for airshows. My job as
a ham and scanner nut is to provide communications audio interception for
one of the audio tracks on the video. It is a blast. You get in for free
and get to be at show center and attend all the pilot brfngs etc. Need a
freq, just be at the show briefing! Even got a copy F16 gun camera footage
of a participating pilot's show routine in my video library!
Just scanning and hoping for a hit is useless! The comms are so short your
scanner will almost (read not) never stop, even if you have the right freq.
You must have your scanner stopped and specifically monitoring that freq.

Not really. I worked as a technician for 1.5 years assembling,
testing, and demonstrating commercial vellular intercept systems, so
spent many hours listening as part of the job.
It is b-o-r-i-n-g. Rarely was there anything worth listening to.

I doubt if anyone was paying for it. Probably the phone was illegally
cloned off some unkowing victim's ESN. Just think, at $3.99 a minute, 2
hours adds up to what, $500 almost? If you had *that* much to spend,
well...

Have seen a lot of people post that the only difference between the two radios
is the 800 MHZ board is
missing from the 100xlt. Yes, you can convert to 800 however there are severa
l differences.
You would need to insert the new rf board, make the modifications to the proce
ss board, A N D install the
800 mhz capable VCO board. Taking all this into consideration, it is not usua
lly worth the effort... and
expense!

The HX1500 does not have the same reset as does the HX1000. More than likely,
it's been my experience
that reverse polarity immediately knocks out several voltage regulators in the
HX1500. Reverse polarity in
the HX1000 use to be a catastrophe as there were no regulators and voltage was
reversed directly to
several major components.
If the damage stopped at the regulator level, you may just need to replace the
m.

Hi Steve,
I just went out and purchased two of them this evening. I'm currently
in the process of testing them and found that the main frequenciy that
they are using is 916.875. For some reason my Scout indicates that
they're on 916.868, but I can't hear them very well when I tune my
ICOM R7000 to that frequency.
I can hear them in Narrow FM mode, but found that they come in much
better if I switched to Wide FM. I don't know how the private feature
works yet, but I will hook up my DC440 to see what they're using.
Bob

Mr. Stark,
Thanks for your comments. Well taken but *wow* did it start another
diddy...At least we changed the direction of the tiff's huh?
Anyway, to respond to your comments...I agree with you but I am not a
newbie...I had made the postings back at the approporiate time when
they made some sense, it that's possible. We had some server access
problems and the posting didn't go out and stayed in my que. When I
checked in more recently, I mistakenly released them...oops, a little
late.
Also, I left my e-mail address out intentionally to shield myself from
a bunch of garbage that has come in b4.
So.......I appreciate your advice, given with proper concern and taken
with a grin.
BTW, sorry for all the flames :)
73's from my qth to yours!

I seem to have no problem finding and monitoring the base station for my
local taxi companies, but I'll be ****ed if I can find the mobile (or
cab) transmissions. I know they're supposed to be a couple of
kilohertz higher, but where? And do they all transmit with such low
power that it's a waste of time trying to get the signal at all with a
handheld and whip antenna?

Anyone hear about that Rubber Duckie Scanner Preamp "gadget" that they now
sell at Radio Shack? Apparently, it will boost weak signals and is a
little "amplifier" that fits between the handheld and the rubber antenna
(although I suppose it will work with base models also). I am no engineer,
but, I thought if you have a weak signal and then boost it, you will simply
have an amplified weak signal - as opposed to a strong clear signal. For
example, cable TV. The amps work if you had a strong signal on 1 set but
hooked up 4 sets and the signal got weak. At least you were boosting a
strong signal. Here, in our case, will this gadget work if the signal is
weak to begin with? Anyone try it yet?

Well correct me if I'm wrong but you are still alive and UPS is still
in business and I strongly *suspect* it will get cleared up, though
you may have a bit of red tape to sort through. And yes I would be
upset too if it was my $355.00 but I still say I regard most flame
messages about mass products/services to be statistical nonsense, take
your $355.00 ( and all the other dollar amounts from recently posted
flames of UPS )and divide UPS's current yearly revenue of 21 BILLION
dollars into it, and tell me what the percentage is ????

since this is *not* a binaries only news group. If you have to post a

It is to me if I were to regard his message as a reason to *NOT* to do
business with UPS, if I were to regard messages such as his as
anything more than anecdotal I'd *NEVER* buy *ANY* consumer product or
service again. As far as statistics go divide his 300+ bux with UPS's
21 Billion $$$$ of revenue this year and tell me what the percentage
is ?????? In a near by city a Bald Eagle dropped a big fish that

Hello All,
I just completed a transaction using UPS COD. It took 5 business days
to send a Y-FT-470 HT from FL to Calif. I indicated only Cash or
M.O. I liked that I was able to track the package over the I-Net on
the UPS Home Page for free. The U.S. Postal Service will allow
personal check from anyone. The Postal Clerk told me "it makes it
easier on us"-Not Acceptable. My main concern now is how long it will
take me to get my funds from UPS? I'll make a post when I get the
loot.
73,
Paul, KF4LNN

I am amused!
Well, OK, I'm really not amused...
Given that AEA is in the process of selling off their residual
production to go out of business, I am just amazed at this impressive
good deal R&L Electronics is offering... NOT!!
It sure looks to me that they're all too willing to screw a few
customers to solve their stock problems...
Wouldn't it have been a little more fair of you to caveat your ad here
with the note that they who buy AEA products now do so with little to
no possibility of product support, since AEA is about to go belly up?
Oh well, bidness is bidness!!!
As always: caveat emptor. I'll remember this ad next time I'm
shopping for gear...

Hi Rich,
> Eurpean version of the 26 which Javiation sells for full 800MHz
> (although other regions will be blocked as per European restrictions).
The PRO-26 (20-9506) has 25-1300MHz continuous - there are no "gaps". The
PRO-26 is only available in two flavours - with full coverage or the one for
the US market (20-506).
There are no restrictions and never have been on the frequency coverage of
scanners in the UK.
With and with the free movement of goods within EC member countries it could
be said the same applies throughout EC Europe although in some member
countries the legallity of scanners does still seem a little "grey".
I think Germany was the only country that did allow scanners but with
restrictions in coverage. Until recently (a couple of years back now)
scanners were only allowed with the Amateur bands on but they no longer have
this restriction. In Denmark also the scanner is no longer illegal with
no restrictions on coverage.
Hope that helps

Good Day Everyone
I was wondering if someone can direct me as to where I might be able to
get a list of the Chicago Area Freqs. I'll be going down to Chicago in
January to watch the BlackHawks and the Leafs play.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Folks
In Hockey, when a visiting team visits the oppositions home for a game,
the assistant coach of the visiting team (the guy behind the bench)
usually wears a headset to commnuicate with the other assistant coach who
is in the press box watching the game from up above.
Does anybody know which freqs. those headsets might be located?
Thanks

Taxi companies operating bases in the 152.270 - 152.450 allocation would
have mobiles 5.26 MHz higher (or occasionally half-duplex on the base freq).
In the 452.050 - 452.500 allocation, mobiles are 5 MHz higher.
Taxi seldom use repeaters, to keep drivers from chatting with each other
and to prevent arguments about calls (if you don't know where another driver
is, you can't complain that you're closer to the fare). With a ducky, you're
unlikely to pick up the mobile more than a mile or two away.

I was very disappointed in the BC890XLT (and its PRO-2036 twin)
I tested for Monitoring Times. The new PRO-2045 replacement
is much better (but overpriced at $350 list price).
From the FAQ:
BC890XLT (Uniden): Same as Radio Shack PRO-2036. Tuning
knob. 200 channels, global delay. Count, AUX, and Auto
Store features. Scans and searches fast. Accepts optional
CTCSS board. Dual conversion with 10.8 MHz and 450 kHz IF
-- lots of images and birdies. Prone to severe intermod,
especially when used with an outdoor antenna. See "The
Uniden BC-890XLT and Radio Shack PRO-2036," by Bob Parnass,
in June 1995 Monitoring Times.

Anyone have any opinions on these two scanners? I just purchased the 62
less than 30 days ago on sale for $199 ($100 off) and the 51 is now on
sale for a little more than $100 off. Should I return my 62 for the 51?
I like the case and display better on the 51 as it is a tad bit larger.
The 62 has a TRIPLE CONVERSION SYSTEM as the 51 only Double but the 51
scans @ 50cps and the 62 @ only 25cps.
Here's the matrix:
Pro-62 Pro-51
--------- ----------
Conversion Sys. Triple Double
One Touch Weather No Yes
Service Search No Yes
CPS Scan Rate 25 50
CPS Search Rate 50 100
Freq's 30-54 29-54
118-174 108-174
380-512 406-512
806-823.9875 806-823.9375
849.0125-868.9875 851-868.9375
894.0125-960MHz 896.1125-956MHz
Such a slight difference in frequencies. I dont even understand why there
are two models that are in such close range...
Any insight/info would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I'm mostly using the scanner for mobile in the car use w/ the built
in antenna on the scanner for CHP, Sheriff, etc. Seems that most CHP's in
California have really weak radios. I can be less than 1 mile away from a
CHP mobile and barely here him.
Anyways, TIA.

Well, now you're just showing all the wannebe posters how to CIRCUMVENT an
idea meant to KEEP posters from posting large binaries from newsgroups.
Breaking it up, you're STILL taxing the phone bills of many a user, any
way you look at it, when you do that.
And they won't appreciate that too much.

<Sigh!>
If I may make a suggestion...
If you all want to post binary files that BADLY for other people to see,
then why doesn't the group get together and put up a CFV [Call For
Votes] (that's `yea' or `nay') on whether or not to create a new newsgroup -
a companion one to this - called "rec.radio.scanner.binaries." The purpose
of this newsgroup would be for the dissemination of scanner/scanning-related
binaries (aka "files", such as GIFs, JPEGs, large frequency database files,
etc., which otherwise would be meant for the reception of a specific few, or
for those who really WANT the files. This way, those who want it can
subscribe to the newsgroup VOLUNTARILY, and files unwanted by some are still
not forced to download them.
(Bet you didn't know you could do that, eh? If there is a moderator, is
he listening?)
This is the second time that I have suggested this, but a few in the
group seem to be ignoring it and continue to push for actual CIRCUMVENTION
of the safeguards designed to protect the other newsgroup readers from large
binary postings.
Those of you who want it, please, start a CFV for your own special
newsgroup, and once created, you may subscribe to it if that is what you
wish. But meanwhile, you have to take into consideration the phone bills of
others who may not be interested in your special files.
Not a flame, but it seems like it needs to be dealt with.
Thanks,
Todd

You probably DID find them; you just didn't realize it.
Many taxi companies now use a packet-like system to make `bids' for a new
call. First one to hit the send button (and/or, too, the closest one to the
call) gets the call.
My brother used to work for Gator City Taxi and Yellow Cab in
Jacksonville, Fla., and they use that system.
I don't know what it is actually called.
The other problem might be...
Taxis drivers often tend to drive WAY out of thier "legal" territory in
desparation to grab that better-paying call. And to encourage this (though
I'm sure they don't look at it this way) the base stations can often be
heard far out of thier territory, while the mobiles can barely communicate
with the base in thier own territory.
For example, I hear Jax all the time here in Gainesville, ALL TOO CLEARLY,
80 miles away. But I know the cabs can't communicate back. Just too far,
until they come back into range again.
(Alright cabbies, don't even think about defending that. I know how it
goes. I see it at the airports every time. :) There's always one cabbie
screaming at another about territory and vehicle badges. ;-) )

It's great for low freq....
It's very very good picking up 155's and 156's and 157's
I get way up into the Wine Country from the Bay Area..and
I'm up against the Hills.....
Have no problems with 800's either...but wobbly at time.
As for the 460's up to the 490's....nuttin. It just
passes them by....on any antennae usedd.
Seeing as how i have a need for low freq and the 155's
it suffices....but the BC and Radio Schack (bc 790 and
rs pro 2026) outperform it on all channels in all
reaches.....
The BearCat 300 and this one for the low and 155's very
similar.....
bill conduit

What is so wrong with posting to an appropriate binaries newsgroup,
like alt.binaries.misc; then posting a message here pointing folks to
it? This is the way most other discussion newsgroups have handled it.
Personally I think we should keep the binaries out of the scanner
discussion newsgroups -- there IS a reason there are alt.binaries
newsgroups out there.
There are ISPs who will drop discussion newsgroups for excessive
binary content; and some folks have to download every byte of every
message.
Personally I think we should just post them in a binaries newsgroup,
then post a message pointing us over there; binaries in this newsgroup
are so rare I don't think it justifies a separate newsgroup for that.
Just my $.02. :)

I have read numerous posts on how lockouts cannot be used with this
scanner.
I have the Standard C508A which is the Amateur Radio dual-band handheld
transceiver with 800 mhz receive. The "lockout" method of this unit is
rather a form of "select scan" where you choose what frequencies TO scan
rather that NOT TO scan. Documentation of this in the owner's manual is
poor, however.
For those with the unit, see if you have a function called "mm". If so,
I'll describe the scan feature of the C508A, which may apply to the WELZ
unit (both made by Standard in Japan).
I am interested in purchasing a unit.

You should probably take your own advice.
In general, no - people cannot see how many answers have
already been posted right away. It takes a couple of days
for articles to propagate to all servers.

I picked one up from RS for $125 last month. What a great deal.. It
does a very good job for my semi-rural area in Northern San Diego
County. I also could swear that I keep getting these unwanted weird
phone calls on the radio at about 894 and 895 mHz. Funny I could say
they are cellular but at the wrong freq. They sure come in like
gang-busters..

I've been looking around the net for a nice cell-capable scanner for a while
for around the $200 range, but had no luck. So then I decided to see whats
out there "new". I found the 220XLT-z (what does the z mean???) on this
Monitoring Times magazine add going for around $200, what do people think
about this scanner? How easy is it to modify?
Any feedback will be appreciated! Thanks!

new. I have been reading about modifications and such and wondered if
this scanner can be modified or if I am stuck being happy with what it

I've been told that it's impossible for the PRO-29 to be modified to
receive cell, however, in the Sept./Oct. issue of National Scanning,
there's an ad for a company that charges only $40 to unblock the full
800 MHz range and they do it for the PRO-29 as well as a bunch of other
scanners.
I'm confused. Is it, or isn't it possible to unblock cell on the
PRO-29. If it is, I want to do it myself, and not pay the $40 to have
it done.
If anyone knows how to unblock cell for the PRO-29, I'd sure like to
hear about it.

SPECIFIC CASH AMOUNT FOR SOME SEXUAL ACT. IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE THE EXTENT
SHE WENT TO TO TRY TO ENTRAP THIS SCANNER LISTENER. THE SCANNER LISTENER
FINIALLY LET THE COP KNOW THAT HE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING, AND THAT HE
COULD HEAR WHAT WAS GOING ON OVER THE SCANNER. THE UNDERCOVER COP THEN
WALKED AWAY, AND THE SCANNER LISTENER DROVE AWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE
SCANNER LISTENER WAS PULLED OVER BY A MARKED CAR AND QUESTIONED ABOUT WHAT
HE WAS DOING TALKING TO THAT GIRL, AND WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE SCANNER.
THE SCANNER LISTENER REPLIED THAT THE GIRL WAS DOING MOST OF THE TALKING,
AND THAT THE SCANNER WAS NOT ILLEGAL, THEREFORE IT WAS NONE OF THE
OFFICERS CONCERN WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE SCANNER.
THIS PERSON PLANS TO ATTEND MORE UNDERCOVER ENTRAPMENT OPERATIONS,
AND ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE COPS WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS.
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN WHAT ALL YOU SCANNER JUNKIES HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
THIS, SO PLEASE RESPOND WITH ANY COMMENTS OR OPINIONS.

I'm listening to the DFW, TX air traffic control, and apparently there's
an emergency. I heard talk of a fire in an engine and they've closed
down some runways and there are fire vehicles and people everywhere...

If so what kind should I get, and where can I get it from??

I keep on hearing things about how bad the ar8000 ducky antenna is. I
bought mine about 2 weeks ago in Australia and mine appears to be working
properly. I havent had a really close test with another scanner Ive got
but it appears ok. Its certainly better than the one that came with the
ar1000!
Maybe us Australians are the lucky ones!

I just bought a Bearcat 230XLT scanner which I am satisfied with. I do
recieve some of the cellular calls in my area, in the 896-916MHZ range. I
was wondering if there was a Mod for this scanner to open up more of the
Cellular reception. And if there is, what all does it involove. Your input
is appreciated!

Todd is right. The *best* solution would be to post a large binary to
a binaries only news group and then make a pointer post here showing
any interested parties where the binary could be found. My news reader
shows the size of the articles and I try to avoid downloading any large
ones unless they are of particular interest. I still screw up once in
a while and have to wait on a long post to download because there is no
way to stop it other than exiting the application. I had no intention
of encouraging improper binary posts and/or spam. The operative words
in my post were: "if you have to...".

The WS-1000 does have this function. But using it is so much more
difficult than the customary per-channel toggle featured on other
scanners, that I hardly use it.

For those that have purchased or otherwise know about the XPLORER, you
know that the cell phone ranges of the unit sold to U.S. customers is
blocked.
You may also know that an unlock program was to be available at some
time.
I received my Geo-db/Xplorer CD/Disk set directly from Percon a few days
ago. In the printed instructions, I found an interesting tidbit:
"NOTE: The Geo-db/XPLORER program purchased from Optoelectronics does
NOT have the Enable/Disable Full Range function that is included on the
version obtained directly from PerCon."
As the cost from OPTO is the same as from Percon, BE FORWARNED if full
coverage is a priority of yours.
For those with Scancat Gold, an unlock program is included with the
newer editions of the program, or upgradable through Computer Aided
Technologies.
Hope the info is useful to you!

Really hate to ruin your day wayne, but channels 11, 12, and 13 are
wrong. They just changed them this year for reasons unknown beleive me
or not, and i can't give you the new ones. Well good luck in finding
the new freqs, cheers.
P.S. the reason i know this is because i work on the aircraft at their
home base.
Again good luck in finding the freqs and happy scanning.

My P-39 was purchased about 3 years ago with the same freq specs. In
Chicago area, 851-869 brings in a substantial amount of cell-phone
traffic, (images?). Modificatin to get 869-896 involves removing 2 or
three layers of PC boards and clipping diode D-6 under the silver RF
shield. Anyone with reasonable skill in small circuit soldering can
probably do it without destroying the unit. (But don't do it because
you would have to turn yourself in to the FCC for gross illegal
activities).

> What's a birdie?
A "birdie" is a signal which is internally generated within
the receiver itself.
Modern radio receivers contain one or more oscillators which
generate signals not only on their fundamental frequencies,
but on harmonics, too (N times the frequency, where N=2, 3, 4, ...).
The radio "hears itself" if tuned to one of these products.
For example, I heard harmonics of the 12.8 MHz oscillator
in an AOR AR5000 receiver I tested. Each birdie appeared
as an unmodulated ("dead") carrier.
In multiple conversion receivers, the signals (fundamentals and/or
harmonics) from two or more oscillators can mix together and
produce birdies at several frequencies.
Most of today's scanners use one or more internal microprocessors.
The clock signals can generate birdies, too.

From the FAQ "Introduction to Scanning:"
..... The Electronic
Communications Privacy Act of 1986 made it illegal to
listen to mobile phones, common carrier paging, and a few
other types of communication. Public law 103-414, signed
Oct. 25, 1994, amended the law (Title 18 USC, Part I,
chapter 119, sections 25110 and 2511) and outlaws listening
to cordless phones, too,....
This note applies to the USA.

Thanks for the info Steve, but... Bzzzzttt! Sometimes the memory is
lost during a trip into the grocery store (with in minutes of having
operated OK). Others have mentioned this problem from time to time. I
would use a wall wart like you (and "most people"?), but I can't find
the 110vac plug in my truck! ;-)

And *another* thing that hit me after I sent the above reply was:
...that the above "scanner listener" was also "LOITERING" if there for no
other reason. [ His car broke down there, right? <wink-wink> :) ]
So, the score would be:
1) Illegal possession of a scanner;
2) Obstruction of justice (if he was found to be interfering);
3) Loitering;
4) Resisting arrest (if the "listener" got bold and spoke up in his
defense, even if calm-voiced and nice about it; they often don't
want to hear it when they get angry);
5) (Whatever else the officers might wish to come up with on him).

I am in the Boston area and am considering getting the BCT 7 scanner.
On-the-fly scanning for my area is very nice to have.
The question I have is should a service decide to change frequencies, how
flexible is Uniden in upgrading the ROM with the changes, or am I stuck
with programming the new frequencies into the 100 scratch memories?
I'd also consider the 10, with its considerably smaller size, but the 7
gives me scratch space and isn't limited to just police.
Also, I think the price is right for either.
Any comments on either/both models?

Article 1101 of ncf.sigs.radio-scanner:
Sender: am975@freenet6.carleton.ca (Dean Hoisak)
I've setup a web page with lots of frequencies for Eastern Ontario &
Western Quebec. The pages are optimized for use with Netscape 2.0 as
there are frames & java scripts running. The pages are located at the
following URL:
http://www.achilles.net/~dhoisak/freq/eofl.html
The pages usually get updated 2-3 times a month so its best to bookmark
the web site for further return visits.

Has anyone successfully used an HP200lx palmtop to program their AR8000?
If so, what software program have you used and which connector from the HP
Connectivity pack have you used. I have the CAT232C serial interface and
have successfully programmed the AR8K with my desktop, but I cannot seem
to get the palmtop and the 8K to communicate with each other. One
possibility is that the HP200lx does not supply enough power to the
CAT232C. I am open to suggestions, thories, etc.

I've heard cell-like "QSOs" at 917.7. I have a Pro-2030 dual-conversion
scanner. I did the math and this is an image of 896.3 MHz, not a
cellular frequency. Is there a phone service here? I never heard the
two or three conversations monitored trunk to another channel.
Any ideas?

Messing with the cops while they are on the job is very dangerous
business. You not only endanger yourself, but the officer as
well. I would not be surprised if you were arrested for
"interfering with an officer" If you want to listen, well that's
OK, but to talk with the officer is a serious masochistic action.
By all means, , , STAY AWAY AND TAKE NO ACTION!!!!!!!!

Being that the unit is an ICOM, I would start off by using a program
that controls the R7100 or R7000. Scancat Gold would be my first start.
I'm taking a guess that Icom didn't reinvent the wheel and redo thier
computer control command set.

I have used Scancat Gold, Scanstar, Scannerwear, PC-Manager, Radio
Manager, and Probe with the CX12AR. Basically the CX12AR converts the
data signal out of your scanner to a level that is compatible to your
computer's serial port.

I'm not sure if you're using Scancat Gold as the dos program, but if you
have the CAT-232 interface, I'm sure Jim Springer can help. Contact him

Generally, you are unlikely to hear direct communications from the Shuttle as
such transmissions are conducted at UHF and SHF frequencies, and often on
digital links. However, most Shuttle flights now carry astronauts who are
licensed Amateur Radio operators, as does Mir, the Russian space station. Ham
astronauts often use Amateur radio for direct contact to schools and, if time
permits, directly to amateur radio operators. Off the time of my head, I don't
know the exact frequencies used but they are often in the 144.5 to 145.8 range
when in use. Postings of some of the frequencies are usually made by
www.amsat.org or others on the Usenet ham radio newsgroups.
Some cable TV systems retransmit NASA Select TV. NASA Select TV is also
available on Satellite TVRO systems and I believe on "Direct TV" DSS system.
Amateurs also retransmit the Shuttle audio over HF radio frequencies (and VHF
ham bands in some areas) - these freqs are shown in another posting here.

RE:<<Can anyone tell me if the Bc 9000XLt is worth the money?>>
Well, worth is a relative term. Everyone has their own opinion of what
something is worth. But for me, at this time I love my Bc-9000. I needed
the CTCSS capability and I wanted the Alpha memory, however it wasn't
practicle for me to get a computer controlled scanner. So, the 9000 was
the only logical choice.
Some people complain about intermod and bleedover but from my own
experience, it is much less than the BC-890. And I have one friend who
uses her 8500 as a door stop.
One thing to investigate would be how likley is it that your department
will go to a trunkked system? I have heard rummors that Uniden is comming
out with a scanner that will follow trunked systems. I have no real
confirmation of it, but it may be worth pokking around before you buy.
But plaine & simple, I love my 9000!

My ex-girlfriend wanted to run my scanner over with her car. In the 6yrs
we were together I purchased 1 scanner. Since we broke up 10 months ago,
I've bought 4 scanners and a Opto Scout!

1. Tune your scanner to the wireless mic frequency, turn up the
volume, and wait for the feedback when the 'hooker" comes to your car.
or
2. When the "hooker" approaches your car say something like "forget
it , you don't look that good up close". Then listen to her fellow

Beware! There are several software problems
in the DSP-232. The software to fix them was
in beta and scheduled for shipment around
Thanksgiving. I know, I bought one about a
month ago and was looking forward to receiving
the fix. Damn! They'll be giving these things
away before the end of the year.

And when this person gets a police officer killed because a criminal
overhears the scanner what does this person intend to do? Say I'm
sorry??? Morons with scanners. Then the next headlines out of
Washington, DC will be "CONGRESS BANS SCANNERS" and we'll all be

Why not listen to cordless and cellular phones for criminal activity

Kevin,
Check http://www.execpc.com/~deltacom They have just updated their web
page for the new ICOM 8500. I have their software and it is great for

UHF is usually 5 megs' lower from 450 - 479, so if an input is 455,
the output is 450. 480+ is usually 3 megs. However, VHF has no
standard., since it's so full. No way of finding it out.. BUT you can
now scan around that freq range... =)

Good answers. But what troubles me the most is that it is against the law
to listen to a RADIO! AM and FM are ok but some frequencies are out of
bounds. Sounds like the Nazi Storm Troopers work here now!

Whatta splurge... You "monogomously" stayed with one scanner during
your relationship then, when things fell apart, you "did" four other
scanners. You slut! ;o)

I'm not a service provider, just a user, but in my opinion if it has to do wit
h
scanners or scanning and is properly identified in the subject and applies
to many in the group, there should be no problem in putting them in these area

I have seen an ad for a RELM HS 200 for $239.00. It has 200
channels, pl/ctcss and dpl/dcs decode. It covers 26.0000 to 960.0000
(with the usual execptions).
Does anyone know anything about whether this is a good deal or have
any reviews of this scanner??

Taken from my local paper Thursday 22nd November 1996
"MoD pulls plug on McDonald's radio"
A radio system used at a drive-in restaurant has been ordered off the
air - after apparently interfering with military channels.
Staff at the McDonald's drive in restaurant did not have a nice day
when
the men from the ministry arrived to pull the plug on their new
system.
The radio headsets were delivered to the fast-food outlet just a few
weeks ago, but it is understood the Dutch manufacturer had not checked
whether they could cause interference with other British channels.
There were claims today that the radio sets had interfered with the
military channels - and left puzzled soldiers from the Garrison
getting
orders for Big Macs and fries.
A spokesman for McDonald's today said restaurant staff had been
shocked
when ordered to stop using the radios, but stressed they have received
no complaints about the radio headsets from the Garrison.
"The Radio Communications Agency called in to see us on Tuesday and
asked us to stop using a particular frequency for our radio, system so
we did," he added.
A spokesman for The Radio Communications Agency said "The equipment
was
unlicensed and operated on frequencies which interfered with other
users."

I have had a look at the pages and it looks promising - however, there
is no demo version to download or try and I have bought several
packages for control of Icoms and AOR's in the past and been somewhat
disappointed. I would not now buy any package without trying it out
first. Scanstar offer a slightly crippled version of their program on
their web pages and this is what persuaded me to buy the real thing
from them. I am very pleased with how it performs with an AOR300A and
and AOR8000 and am awaiting the imminent release of a new version that
will handle the Icom8500 - At the moment I can use the package by
selection a Icom9000 although, of course, the memory banks and
labelling don't work properly. Their web pages are at:

I beleive that 896-901mhz is the range of frequencies that would be used
for the inputs of all 900Mhz trunking systems, the outputs would be from
935-940Mhz which works out to be a 39Mhz offset which is standard for that
band/service.
You might want to listen on 935.300mhz, that would be the output frequency
paired with the 896.300Mhz input that you're picking up the image of at the
917.7Mhz frequency.
Hope that helps!

I'd doubt it. I owned an AR1500 before I bought my AR8000, and I quickly
worked out that the AR8000's performance could be improved by replacing its
antenna with the one that came with the AR1500.
Besides the fact that the AR8000 antenna is a lousy RF performer, it's a
*bitch* to get on and off as it twists right around. Ugh!

I know that the PRO-29 as well as some other Realistic/Radio Shack
scanners pick up images, particularly cell images.
I was just curious if any other brands of scanners pick up images, such
as any of the Uniden Bearcat models.
Thanks in advance.

Well I downloaded and ran it, and it looks different from v1.12. More
importantly it now decodes transmissions on my system, where v1.12 would
not.

I ordered my first scanner in 1984 when I was in the Air Force stationed in
Okinawa. Since I really didn't have a clue (at the time) what freq ranges I
would need to get military traffic in a foreign country I chose a scanner that
had a very broad range. I chose the Regency MX7000 which had complete coverage
of 25-550 Mhz and 800-1300 Mhz. Needless to say it was NOT cheap. My then
fiancee (now wife of ten years) didn't have a clue to what it was or way I had
to have it. After it arrived and I found the MP freqs and started listening to
all the domestic disputes and drunks she couldn't get enough!
She had to return to the states 6 months before me, so she made me go out and
get her a scanner and program in all the local law enforcement freqs. After te
n
years we still enjoy listening to it together.

The cellular calls are images of the actual frequency and you can hear
them from 894-916 mhz. It's kind of a bonus you didn't expect.

On an AR8000 that I just purchased, I noticed that FM broadcast
stations can also be received, with lower signal strength, at
frequencies 12.75 MHz lower. Can anyone tell me if this is normal?

any docs.
I need help in figuring out the search mode.
I can program specific frequencies in but I need to know how to search
a frequency range with this thing. It is probably staring right back
at me but I am still missing it.
ANY help is appreciated,

Use a Null Modem Adaptor on the end of your HP serial connectivity kit cable,
then any software should work. If you're looking for simple. Check out my
program at http://www.ohio.net/~mwaldron . It's *SMALL* and does some basic
stuff.

Brian,
Yes they do. I have both a Radio Shack Pro-29 and a Bearcat BC230XLT and
both will pick up cells equally well. Actually not that well, after all, it
is an image, but well enough to listen... which I never do of course.

I went out and got a Diamond RH77CA duck. Great for what I need. About
$30 at AES.

Good for you. Stick to your guns. You did the right thing.
In my case, my wife bought me a RS PRO-37 for our fifth wedding
anniversary. Great scanner, but I started to outgrow it. Three years
later I got myself an AR8000 for Christmas, still used the PRO-37 as the
"around the house" scanner, but the AR8000 is the primary one, i.e., my
"dress scanner". All the while, my wife thinking the whole hobby is
really geeky. Until she started using the PRO-37 to listen to stuff on
her own while I was out of town. Then the PRO-37 started to act up
(i.e., stop working). AR8000 still going strong, but I needed another
"around the house scanner". Jumped on a PRO-50 on closeout for $80 (20
channel job, no 800mhz). Good little scanner, and it's semi-officially
my wife's, thus she feels part of the hobby now (I won her over from the
dark side).
First real useage for it for her, was when we were in the stands at the
OSU-Michigan game this past Saturday - got to listen to the booth
announcers on ABC and OSU Football Radio Network with their
"interesting" editorial comments about the game while the station was
away at commercial. Un-edited is the only way to hear these guys.
Game sucked though, being an OSU grad.

Gary,
I'm with you. UPS delivers over 12 million packages a day, they have to
screw up on someone who has access to THIS newsgroup. I come to this
newsgroup for new and interesting information on scanners. I have to
sift through 40 posts re: who's got the best COD service to get to the
scanner posts. I've never had a problem with UPS and if I did I
wouldn't subject the good people of this newsgroup to a blow by blow.
Now we have people that are going to post when their CODs are paid.
Great! At first I felt sorry for the guy, but after subjecting this
newsgroup to this for two weeks I hope he never gets paid.

Hi Brad,
Hit Program,pick a bank number that you want the search to be in,
(you have 10 search banks),Limit,enter the lower freq, hit Enter,
Limit,high freq, Enter, then the up or down arrow, and away you go.

Only once have I ever heard an interesting conversation over the Cell
Phones.. Back in my old hometown I heard a Drug Deal being setup for
some Cocaine to be completed at the Local Mariott Hotel.. Other than
that all I ever hear are lover spats and stuff like that. That Coke
deal was in 1991 never heard another interesting thing and stopped
listening to em in late 91 due to boredom with the type of
conversations.
It is worth having Cell Phone for that 1 interesting call.. I would
still want cell phone reception ability in any scanner I get.
Most cops where I am now use their 800 Mhz Radio phones and ya get
more interesting stuff there. The radio phone happens to be on 855 Mhz
so no problem listening to it :)

How about some frequencies for Disney, Universal, and all the other

I work near I-4 & 192. Lotsa stuff down there...especially Disney

Well I wouldn't know, ofcourse, since listening to cell-phones is illegal-
and I would never do anything that the government told me not to.{ROFL} But I
would suspect the more interesting times to listen is late night- especially
weekends when rates are cheap or even free.

Cops around here use cellular phones quite a bit to talk about stuff they
don't want over the air. The problem is that theoretically they could
easily be picked off on the scanner if it was legal. I hear our Dept is
on Wireline B which is supposedly not very busy in the evenings. I'd
listen in to see if this was true but it's illegal.

Hi!
I have a BCT-7, have no experience with the BCT-10 except for what I've
read....
The BCT-7 is perfect for the car. I think too much is made out of the
"highway patrol alert", which really is not useful, and it makes
scanning the police frequencies maddening! It checks the "mobile
extender frequency" frequently, going off the scanned police frequency
for about .25-.5 second. That does not make listening to the police
much fun.
Advantage: If you're like me, you spend most of your time in your town
or city, and have local police, fire, etc. that you scan primarily. In
the BCT-7, you can program all of the local frequencies, and scan them
as your "private" bank. When you go out of town, you can switch over to
the database of police frequencies programmed into the BCT-7. You do
not have that ability with the BCT-10. While you are in town, you end
up having to scan through perhaps hundreds of frequencies to get back to
your local police frequency, missing numerous transmissions. You may
also lock on to weak distant transmissions, which are not of interest
anyway!
I am a radio enthusiast, and have about 10+ scanners along with my
amateur radio equipment.
The BCT-7 is the answer at the present time for mobile monitoring!

Vice busts are some of the most comical operations which
the cops get to perform for....especially the undercover
fem....she is not supposed to "entice" or "say suggestive
come-ons's" to a prospective JOHNNY. She supposed to be
limp and approachable...he takes the "initial thrust" at
her "being noncommital".....that is the theory.
Vice cops can arrest anyone who talks to a prostitute for
up to 24 hours....just because you spoke to one....the
Free Speech and Freedom to Speak to Whoever One Desires
dont' apply in these procedures.
You talk to the prostitute, you are guilty and will be
approached and they will photograph you and take your
prints...(they have this new device that does it) ...justd
because you said "hi, how's tricks?"
What you should know is that the cops can "confiscate your
car" and tomorrow it is inventoried and sold to the highest
bidder in some states...this is how they get REVENUE for
the city....just for talking to a Prostitute who just so
happens to be a cop....
Civil Rights and the Constitution's Bill of Rights are justd
laughed at: they need money and this is the safest way to get
it for a No Crime act....open your mouth and you get arrested.
This is the way it is.
Anyone who is stupid enough to engage in talk and let the cops
know you are ON SCAN deserves what they get....there are better
ways to do it. We photojournalist's do it all th etime and don't
get arrested. And we get video or stills.

I would *suspect* it's the time of day one listens to the cheating
wives (husbands) , drug deals, lovers fights, hookers directing their
clients to where their van is parked, corrupt city officials etc. I
would *suspect* good times to listen would be after 6 or 7 PM during
the week and from midnight on, on the weekends , especially right
after the bars close. Of course I would never do such a thing ;)

In a store near me Ive seen some Motorola MTX 810 and Motorola MTX 838
rados for sale. Does anyone have any info on these radios?
Cheers Matthew
PS The radios appear to be old models.......not anything really new.
Also the MTX 810 has a selector on top of radio for either ch 1/2 and
another selector for a/b/c.....what are these for?

I was told that the unit comes from optoelectronics with software
that allows the unit to be programmed for various frequencies. Further,
PerCon provides a 20digit code, that when used with this software will
permanantly unlock the unit for the 800-900MHz band blocked freqs. In
order the re-block them, you need to use to use the code and the software
again.
Based on this information, I have just about decided to purchase the unit,
antennas, carry case, etc.
My question: Does anyone have information that disputes what I have been
told? If you do, please describe the information you have, and where
you got the information.
Thank you,
Dan

To enter the mode where you program the upper and lower limit settings,
press "PROGRAM" and then "LIMIT". From here:
- Press <limit number> and then "LIMIT" to switch limit ranges. Where
"<limit number>" is a number between 0-9. This allows you to select
which of the ten limit ranges you want to program. So, for example,
if you wanted to set a limit of 869.0 MHz to 896.0 MHz in limit slot
number four, your first step is to press "4" and then "LIMIT".
- Once you're on the limit slot you want to program, pressing "LIMIT"
by itself will toggle the scanner between the lower and upper limit
settings. To program a frequency into one of the two, just enter
the frequency in as normal and then press "ENTER".
When you're finished programming, hit manual to return to normal mode.
To initiate a limit search while in manual or scan mode, just press the
up or down arrow keys. The scanner will begin limit-scanning whichever
of the 10 limit slots you were at last. To change which limit slot you
want the scanner to use, just press "0" - "9" while the limit scan is
taking place.

order it (of coarse), and it took 3 days to get it.
Built one of those 10 LED signal strength meters and it works great!

Naw. It's okay to listen to Star-106FM if you have an amateur radio
license, or, you're a certified alarm system contractor, or, you have
written permission from your local Chief of Police.

Then Bandplan (Freq, Mode, Step size Etc.) is stored in the system area
of the AR8K's EPROM. You can't change it from the keyboard (as far as I
know) but many of the PC software control programs let you modify it by
downloading a new bandplan to the radio. Haven't found a good one
yet...still looking.

I was at the airport when that aircraft landed, as I work there. In
Sacramento, you'll probably hafta wait quite some time before something
like that happens, the last emergency landing we had at SMF was at least
three years ago.

This scanner is well worth the mail-order prices these days
which run in the $340-$350 range.
500 channels, 20 banks, 100 channel/sec scan, 100/300
freq/sec search, 50(?) search pass channels, 250 channel
alpha-numeric tagging, adjustable step size and recv
mode, count memory, CTCSS capable, auto-store, tape
recorder output control and your typical per channel
lock-out, delay, attenuation, etc. and the rotary
tuner is great.
Very good sensitivity with intermod rejection that's
just a tad below the Pro-2006. Selectivity is not as
good as it should be(IMHO).
I personally do not care for the "dot-matrix" LCD
but it is large and well lite.
Strong signals,
Rich Wells

If you want a pre-programmed bandplan to upload to your radio, Scancat
gold will do that. Radio Manager for Windows and Scan*Star Commercial
or PLUS for Windows will allow you to edit the AR8000 band plan. Radio
Manager has the BEST editing feature for the AR8000 EEPROM that I know
of!
http://www.scancat.com/
http://www.scanstar.com/
http://www.interplaza.com/bensware/
These sites have demos for you to play with!
You will need an interface, Either an OPTOLYNX from Opto, a CAT-232 from
Scancat or an AR8000INF from EEB
http://www.access.digex.net/~eeb/eeb.html
http://optoelectronics.com/index.html
That should give you a good head start!

Sounds a good deal Jim but may I add a small caution.
Some of the "AA" size batteries in the higher capacity ratings are a
fraction wider in diameter and to get them in to a 8000 means a wee
bit of extra pressure.
The battery back cover may allso have excess pressure placed on it and
the "catch" holding the cover of can crack or give way. Keep your eye
on it.

You get a cop killed or shot and it's not going to be funny anymore. Knock it
off before you get scanners outlawed altogether. Didn't you ever hear the
saying let sleeping dogs lie? Go poke them with the rubber ducky and see what
happens to your (our)scanners. When they come for mine, I'll be calling your
number.

Yea, why doesn't he go to a drug bust next time and see if he can get some
poor cop with a family killed and scanners outlawed altogether? This is
one of the main reasons they are illegal to carry in your car in some states
for crying out loud. USE SOME COMMON SENSE DAMMIT!!!

From the FAQ "Buying a Used Scanner:"
PRO-2040: late 1995 vintage 100 channel base made by Uniden.
Fair performance, but minimal image rejection. Local
oscillator harmonics account for spurious responses, e.g.,
reception of cellular telephone calls in the 460 MHz UHF-
high band. Scans over 40 channels/sec. Can lock out up to
50 channels from search. "Soft" on/off power switching via
keypad. See "The Radio Shack PRO-2040," by Bob Parnass,
AJ9S, in Monitoring Times, December 1995.

I have an AOR Scanner that is fairly old. I often just scan the channels I
have saved in the channel memories. Does anyone know how I can stop the
infernal thing 'clicking' everytime it moves to a new channel (ie twice a
second). I'm a poor student, so I can't afford a new one!!!
I've had the squelch turned up full, but still it persists.
Any comments greatfully received.

Thanks for keeping me honest Jonathan! I don't follow radio-type
developments and laws in the UK too often, but I thought there
rules governing manufacture of scanners capable of listening to
the UK cellular frequencies? Perhaps the laws don't cover the
manufacturers but only the listener? Wondering if you can set
me straight here? Thanks!
P.S. You guys got any of those MVT-9000s in yet? ;-)
Strong signals,

I think that the Navy at China Lake is wiseing up!
This morning, I heard them talking on the Range Freq,
and they mentioned that they will have a "Radio Silence"
between 0900 and 1100 "for this event." This tells me
that they are testing a "secret" weapon that they don't
want anyone to know about. While "secret" stuff goes
on all the time out there, this evidently was just a
little more secret than other tests. (Much like just a
little bit pregnant) There may be a
hundred or so Scannerists out here in town, some more hard
core than others. And I'm sure that someone on the Base
is monitoring the Internet for traffic just like this, and
are taking appropriate precautionary measures.
That's GOOD! I firmly believe that if they don't want
people listening in to them, then they should either
scramble or go silent.

Not quite. The compact disc, as a play-only medium, was supposed to make

I've had an 890XLT for more than a year now. I like it just fine. Of
course I was upgrading from a BC210 so maybe the step-up just left me
dazzled. I'm a novice scanner person so can speak with any technical savvy
at all. But from the novice point of view, the 890XLT does everything I
need and then some.

I was wondering why radio shacks specs say that the pro 39 is cell
blocked when mine gets it just fine says on the back that the valid
freqs are not modifyed. It says the freqs are =806-823.9375,
851-868.9375, and 896-960, this info leads me to belive that is not
modified (plus that I bought brand new from radio shack).I was also
wondering if there is any Mods or keypad tricks for this radio and is it
any good of a unit. its made by Genral reasearch Electronics for radio
shack too.
A response would be greatly Apreaciated. thank you

I have a Pro 2021 I use for 2 & 6 meter monitoring. The display backlite
took a crap and the bottom of the digits seem to be out. Does anyone know
of a fix for this? It only goes to 512 MHz. so I don't want to put it in
the shop, It would cost more than it was worth. If its something that I can
do I would rather do it. I have no service manual on it. I you know what
may cause this to happen would you E-mail me with a possible fix? Thanks in

Five years ago, I was dating a young lady who foolishly gave me an
ultimatum..."It's either me or the radios."
I promptly dumped her butt and used the money that I had been wasting on
flowers, movie tickets, restaurant dinners, etc., to purchase a beautiful
new Bearcat 200XLT. Best decision I ever made!
After five years, I still have the scanner...and it sure looks a lot
better than SHE does these days! <vbg>

While this may in fact indicate secrecy, it's more likely a range control
order to 'shut up and listen', similar to the International Silent Interval
or our local PD's Signal-67. I'd suspect a high risk test where emergency
communications or telemetry must not be interfered with.

I have a 2040 that I use as my base scanner and I like it. I live approx
20 miles from the airport and occasionally hear ghost transmissions from
the plane to ground on a couple of the police frequencies. When that
happens I hit the scan button. I can hear many of the replies from the
cars of several of the local police departments which I enjoy hearing. I
also pick up cellular phone calls between 896 and 915 mHZ. I don't know if
they are ghost images or not, they aren't picked up by my Pro 62 which is
triple conversion vs the 2040 which is double conversion so perhaps they
are ghost images. I'm using the RS coil antenna in place of the antenna
that came with the unit, I think the RS antenna improves reception.
I bought mine on sale and have been satisfied with it, I know its not
triple conversion but for what I listen to which is local Public Service
frequencies it does a good job.

Not quite. I use cassettes to record my CDs for use in the car. If the
tape ever gets dammaged, I can always record another tape. My CD
collection is always safe at home.

Outlaw scanners! Why not outlaw radio and TV also. If it is transmitted
someone will pick it up.
I thought only the Commies stopped you from listening .

And I too just now received an update in the mail. EPROM, not EEPROM.
Parts are labeled "AEA V1.0 L31". Level 31? Instructions dated
10/24/96 say "This upgrade enhances your DSP-232;s ability to function
in Amtor, Pactor, 9600 bps Packet and 9600 pbs KISS mode."
Just thinking, if AEA can't find a buyer for their intellectual
property, it sure would be nice if they'd post the source code to
the DSP-232. One of the reasons I purchased a DSP-232 was that it
has a very powerfull CPU (MC68340) that can be programmed with free
tools (gcc and gdb), and AEA's advertising copy showed a picture of
their PCB including the jack for connecting Motorola's Background
Debugging Mode. Alas, haven't had time to play with these toys.

What the person did, and plans on doing is very foolish!
This person could get caught up in a very dangerous situation.
What the Cops are doing is not a game. Around here you can be aressted for
interfering with official police business, or obstucting an Officer.
Almost anywhere, there is some law that could be used against against you to p
revent
this activity.
This is the reason anti-scanner laws come to be in the first place.

Have Quick is NOT a secure voice measure by itself, only a

When I try to change priority to another channel, or disable priority,
I get a message "p-all lock." I can't find this in the manual.
Any idea what it means , why it is happening, and how to get priority
to work properly?? Steve.

It depends on what model. Any dual-conversion scanner will
pick up images. Triple-conversion scanners are more immune,
but under some conditions MAY pick up certain image
frequencies.

Thanks for posting to the thread. I couldn't find it and I
wanted to post a correction.
The readme file still refers to version 1.12, but version
1.14 is indeed a different version of the decoder.
I've had no luck decoding anything, but I'm not even sure
that the traffic I'm hearing is POCSAG mode. Can somebody
describe what a POCSAG signal sounds like?

I can sympathize with the problems you've had being able to
use the newsgroups with access failures and such. Finding a
stable ISP can be a chore. And I appreciate why you would
be reluctant to use an email address in your postings.
There are a lot of wackos out there who have nothing better
to do, that's for sure.
Anyway, enjoy the newsgroup - at least the on-topic parts!
:-)

I just purchased the Xplorer directly from Opto and if you read the
xplorer.txt file that describes the CI-5 interface protocol, somehow,
mysteriously I'm sure, right at the end of the file it contains the
CI-5 command set used to enable/disable the Cellular band block
required by the U.S. Government on all U.S. domestic sales.
What I'm looking for is a -complete- list of CI-5 commands that the
Xplorer will respond to. The list they provided only includes 13 sub-
commands that READ data from the Xplorer, nothing about WRITING
data, except for that treatsie I mentioned above.

While at work today, I dropped my Pro-51. The battery compartment
fell off, and when I put it back in, it didn't work. After opening it
up, I had to reconnect a contact where it had come loose. I'm just
wondering if anyone has had to do this before, and if so, was the fix
successful permanently?

yes,
I have an AR8000 and I use a standard rubber duck from
a dual band HT ham radio. It works alot better than the
antenna that comes with the scanner. There is a draw back though,
the vhf-lo band will not come in as well.
Good luck. Bob

Is the "National Scanning Report" out of Wagontown PA still being
published? In response to their ad in the 10/96 Monitoring Times
I sent them $3.00 cash for a sample copy on 10/21. As of 11/25 I
haven't received anything.

If you think R & L did something wrong by putting something on sale to

But you go right ahead and get even with them by paying more for something

A friend of mine got a Pro-23 and was asking me about receiving Cordless
on it....well I didn't know that this junk wasn't able to receive below
108mhz untill I looked at the spects. My question is why would they not
add the lower bans to this scanner? I have never heard of a scanner that
didn't have 30-54mhz on it! Even the cheepest 10 channel programable
scanners have this band. What gives?

I have a brand new mid range
TV antenna and rotor. Can any one offer advise on tuning it for better
ala arounnd scanner use. One area I am interested in is the 225 to 400MHz
range. The reast of my scanning fall between the 25 to 1300MHz area. I
know the antenna wont give my optimum performance in all areas, but if
there is anything I can do to improve over all performance before
mounting this setup I would like to do it. One problem is figuring out
which radials to lenghten of shorten. I have several scanners any
receivers that will be attached a one point or another via a spliter(s)
would it be aviseable to install a pre amp at the anntenna its self or in
my radio room? All coax runs will be less than 25 feet, I have purchased
the best coax the ham shops had (50 Ohm). Any input on this or the
feeding of all these radio's would be a graet help. Thanks in advance.

I noticed recently that my scanner has been very quiet when monitoring
the Sacramento County Sheriff Dept. Anyone have updated freqs? Did
they move to the 800 Mhz band? If so, what is a good hand held
programmable that picks up 800 Mhz?

A couple of years ago the CHP and the State Police merged in a cost

One has to take most of the boards out to do the mods, and since it is so bad
with images in that band, I really don't think I'd bother to do it. One can
hear the cell phones without doing it....

Certainly no regulations with regard to frequencies (cellular or otherwise).
As a side line the analogue cellular frequecies used here are quite a bit
different from the USA or mobiles are 872.0125 - 904.9875 with the base at
917.0125 - 949.9875Mhz. Channel spacing is 25KHz but as its the band starts
at a 12.Khz offset you generally have to use 12.5 as the step size.
Digital (GSM) cellular is up in the 1800MHz region and all but
"unlistenable".
There are also no restrictions on "owning" a scanner regardless of
frequencies so your OK regardless of its capabilities.
Just don't start to use it !
By law the only things you can legally listen to are:-
AM/FM Broadcast frequencies
Amateur & CB transmissions
When at Sea Marine weather frequencies.
Anything else is illegal. You are more probably likely to win a £20M jackpot
on the UK National Lottery that end up in trouble for using a scanner. On
those occasions where people have been arrested and the use of a scanner
mention in subsiquent reporting the situation was certainly a little more
"criminal" !
For UK Gov't official view on scanner see the Radio Communications Agencies
Web Pages (http://www.open.gov.uk/radiocom/rahome.htm)
> P.S. You guys got any of those MVT-9000s in yet? ;-)
Not generally available yet but been playing around for a week or so with the
ones we have here. No Computer Interface or tagging of each channel is a
dissapointment although performance is very good.
All the best

Anyone have a Tropez cordless phone? Do wou like/dislike it?I'm
looking for a two line 900mHz and there aren't too many choices. It
seems Tropez was one of the first 900mHz models. Consumer reports
reviewed cordless phones in their november issue but they didn't
review Tropez. Any guesses why. Who really makes them and where?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bruce.

I have for sale a Universal M-1200 Decoder Card. This 8 bit card fits in
an ISA slot on your computer's motherboard and decodes the following HF
and VHF/UHF digital modes when hooked to your shortwave and/or scanner
radio thru a simple audio hookup:
Shortwave reception modes include:
Morse code (CW), Baudot RTTY, ASCII RTTY, SITOR A & B, ARQ-M2, ARQ-M4,
ARQ-E, ARQ-E3, FEC-A, ARQ-6-90, PACKET, and WEFAX.
For VHF and UHF, reception of these modes is possible:
ACARS (digital information sent to and from commercial aircraft), POCSAG
and GOLAY (pagers), and CTCSS and DCS decoding.
Software and manual are included. This card was purchased about three
years ago. I'm simply not using it any longer and I'm hoping someone out
there might find some enjoyment from it.
Asking $250.00 or best offer. Card currently retails for $400 new.
Will ship to you UPS COD. Thanks for reading.

I had a DSP-232 for about a week. One of the main problems was
a birdie at 145.085-145.105. This is right in the middle of the
local packet bbs area. With a cable connected to the 232 my ht
picked up this birdie from 35 feet away (s9). The case by
itself tx's up th 5 feet away. I checked the unit for proper
grounding, and found no problem areas. I tryed to use the unit
for 9600 sat work and was only able to get a weak signal from
KO-23. I took my 232 back to HRO for an exchange, thinking that
I must have gotten a defective unit, but the one the shelf did
the same thing. On the way to HRO I talked to two people both
returned their DSP-232's for a refund. Knowing the state of
AEA, (I called late last week for tech help. The recorded
message said the company was being 'bought' and any tech
problems or servive warrenty work needed, call ARRL in about a
month). I was very lucky to get my money back. I now plan on
buying a TAPR DSP93 kit.

Well, I've been listening to them off and on for over thirty

I think that I would recognise "normal radio traffic". Besides,

Well, , , , the radio traffic continued as it normally does. The
only difference was the apparent lack of trafic for that one test.
Of course, you can't prove a negative, but that's my read on it.
BTW, ground TM is all done with fibre optics, except for missile
to ground signals.

Does anyone know if the CTCSS Tone Board for the 9000XLT will display a
PL or CTCSS tone that it receives? I understand that you can program a
frequency and a CTCSS Tone but What I need is a scanner that will
display a frequency and a CTCSS tone regardless of wheather or not a
CTCSS tone was programed into the scanner.
Confusing? Sorrry.
Thanks for any help,

Does this card decode plectron tones? Assuming no, does anyone know if
there is either a card or soundblaster software that can do this?

You may just be stuck in a strong signal area. I just
checked my Bearcat scanner table and it shows the BC-2500 as
a DUAL conversion receiver. The BC-3000 is a triple.

I was reading about mobile scanners being illegal in some states. Does anyone
have a list of which states they are illegal? If they do and could post it
or send it to me I would be very thankful.

All radio publications are suffering these days, but there is nothing to
suggest that NSR is in dire straits. If there is, I'm not aware of it.
USSN and POPCOMM seem to be quivvering and gasping for air. Some of the ham
magazines went down the tubes. Same for CB radio.
Tough times these days. Maybe NSR is just a little dilatory.....

Showing on the inside back cover of Popular Communications (several issues;
Dec 96 in particular) is a color display ad for ACE communications. In this
ad on the right hand side is a picture of a Spread Spectrum 2-line phone.
Because I'm interested in this style, I sent email to acescans@aol.com, which
was provided in the ad, to ask the brand, model, and price. I've sent three
inquiries to this place, and the only message I got back was that they have a
lot of ss phones. They won't identify the phone in the ad.
Does anybody know if the phone in the ad is real, or some graphic created in a
computer?

I've been interested in their BC-10 as an alternative to a radar
detactor for highway travel. Does anyone have this scanner? How exactly
does it work (moble extender detection)? And does it work!?
Please post to group.

You would be hard pressed to beat the PRO-2042 with an OS535. Get the right
software and you can set up banks of any number channels, groups of banks,
CTCSS decode (and DTMF too) and on and on and on. Dump into the program the
freqs from an FCC database, mix in freqs from a decent scanner guide and
some of your own stuff and you can get the who, what, when, and where of
any transmission within your range. Once you have gone this route, there is
no turning back.
Comparing this combo to the BC9000 is unfair. The BC9000 isn't in the same
league at all. If you want to make the discussion really worthwhile,
compare the BC9000 to the PRO-2042, feature for feature.
The way I see it, is that until the BC9000 can provide for computer
control, it isn't worth considering as your ONLY base scanner.
Heck, I'll go out on a limb and say, unless your scanner is computer
controlled, you're only listening to a radio but you ain't scanning. You
got an opposing view, state it: fact for fact. You want flames,
forgetaboutit.

902-928 is home to a whole bunch of unlicensed, part 15 technologies.
Including analog cordless phones, which you could have come upon.
Amateur radio is another secondary user of that spectrum (at least for
now).
896.3 Mhz is a channel used by mobiles in 900Mhz conventional or trunked
systems. It would be paired with 935.3 Mhz.
Then again you could have been hearing a spur from something... no
telling. Who knows?

in the ad is a fake phone --"photo composed".
This isn't exactly bate and switch, but it sure is misleading and waste of

So what have you been listening to on 800MHz? ;-)
I wouldn't be surprised if the telescoping whip wasn't the best choice for
800MHz and up, as it'll be too long even fully retracted. But if we exclude
North Americans doing illegal things, the average/mean/median frequency for
most people's monitoring would be below 400MHz - so the whip is a good
versatile choice in that situation.
Myself, I monitor 70MHz - 500MHz all the time. 800MHz is rare (and it's legal
here too, although I find it a bit boring so I normally don't bother).
: get real! - I would not want to run around with a stiff rod
Each to his own, I spose. But as far as I'm concerned, its not the size that
counts - its how well it performs. (Although I too use a rubber duck when
the AR8000 is belt-mounted).
: the AR8000, which, if it hits a wall, car door, etc will either snap itself
: or worse, snap the AR8000 connector.
Obviously, I wouldn't recommend doing the lambada while you have an AR8000
with a 46in whip attached to your jockstrap. Most of the time I use mine
at home (sat on a table) or in the car (in a mount).

Yes and no. Ideally it shouldn't happen, but its not surprising that it does.
The AR8000 is being overloaded and its image rejection is being swamped. This
generally only happens with nearby and very strong transmitters. I've seen it
happen before, on lots of different scanners.
There is some debate as to whether the AR8000's image rejection is as good as
it should be. The better scanners should be less prone to the problem, but
there is never an absolute guarantee. If you are real close to tens or
hundreds of kw into an efficient antenna, any receiver will overload.

If Priority is selected then there must be one priority channel

I think you can get that message also if you try to lock <pass> those
specific channels with priority selected. Remember only the first
channel in banks A - J are automatically priority channels.

I don't want to belabor this point (it's a bit off topic now), but this
information may be correct for some jurisdictions, but by all means, not
all.
To be arrested in California, there must be a solicitation, that
includes the specific discussion of sex in exchange for money, or
something of value (Refer to CA Penal Code Section 647b if you are
interested).
Several jurisdictions have enacted local laws to confiscate vehicles
driven by the customers, but this is not State wide.
My only comment echos the one already in the newsgroup; if you see a law
enforcement operation in effect, stay away and don't get involved. If
you knowingly interfer, you could be arrested, or worse, be injured in a
situation that you don't know what is REALLY happening.
Take care, stay safe and happy listening.

I have one of the original Tropez phones <only 3.5 hours talk time> &
i have to say that its the best phone i've ever had... It sounds
clear, feels nice & has excellent range. Tropez phones are made by
Vtech... I believe their homepage is www.vtech.com . the newer ones
have had a design facelift <I personally dont like it.> and they've
extended the talk time to 6.5 hours & standby to 5 days. The two line
model has an LCD to show you the number you're dialing. Their main
competitor of the two line model is the Uniden EXP9200, which costs
299$. The Uniden lacks the LCD but sports a fully lighted keypad, 9.5
hours of talk time, a spare battery charger & a speakerphone which the
2line model of the Vtech lacks. The EXP9200's transmission system is
not only 900MHz digital, like the tropez but it is spread spectrum so
that static on your end is pretty much eliminated...the EXP9200 also
has a 3 way phone call feature <for those that lack the NYNEX version>
which allows you to dial both lines and talk to everyone
simultaneously.
hope that helps you decide

Describe it? Do you remember that little robot in the "Buck Rogers"
TV series? <G> Seriously, it's not that easy to do in words.
However, I can tell you that if you are tuned to one of the big paging
company's frequencies, you probably won't get anything. Most of them
have since gone to 1200, 2400 POCSAG, or the new FLEX protocol. Rene's
program only decodes 512 pocsag at this time.

Looking at the newest Radio Shack advertisements, they are selling the PRO-51
for $189.99 ON SALE. I was wondering if anyone knows if this scanner is
cell modifiable?? As a matter of fact, how many of the newer scanners can
be modified?
Thanks!

Read your reply to my posting on 1100 mah batteries; checked diameter
of the ones I have. they are .003 larger than the original ones that
came with radio. The 1100 fit without any extra pressure. I dont
think the tolerances of the battery case is that close. Thanks for
the warning.

*Probably* none, you'd need to find a tube type set that could cover
roughly 800 - 900 Mhz and you'd need a sack full O' crystals as the
cell sites move around quite often from one cell (frequency) to
another.

this is the one they use when you hear them say "go to the high

the state fair in October by the many troopers directing traffic and
so on.

yup - good old mutual aid. There is another one in NC too....this way
all the police groups have a common channel in the event of some
cataclysmic event or something I guess...

nope - they have troops A - H and then the state is divided up into
Dispatch Boundaries. The confusing part is that the Frequency
boundaries (geographic locations that define the Base Frequency) do
not follow the Dispatch Boundaries always (although they are divided
up by county - depends on your county as to the base frequency and the
troop dispatch area).

well - the base to car is nice and loud - getting the car to base
response is another matter entirely. And you are right - they don't
chit chat too much.

RE<<Is the "National Scanning Report" out of Wagontown PA still being
published?>>
As far as I now they are still around. Give it some time, it usually takes
6-8 weeks for most club-type magazines to send out a sample. However, I
heard tonight on a local HAM-Scanner net that NatScan was offering samples
for 50cents cash.

I tried out this program yesterday... and gave up on it almost
immediatly. It has a frequency limit of 999.99999. Most decent
scanners go up higher than one thousand MHz.

Hi,
I bought a scanner today from the clearance rack at Wal-Mart. I've been
wanting one for awhile, just never got around to buying one. It's a Bearcat
BC178XLT. At $48.00 it seems like a good buy. Now I've found out city and
state police use 856. to 860. MHz. Can this scanner be modified or would I be
better off returning it and buying one with the 800 MHz.
Also does this NG have a FAQ ?
Any info. is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
Slidell, La.

Mike, I will look again, but I read the XPLORER.TXT file that you
referred to, off the original disk, and the XPLORER utility on the web
site. I did not see the actual code, although the setup was described.
Please check again, and I'll do the same.

Could this be because of the cavalier attitude to customers
and of people on the eastern seaboard? What you describe is unheard
of in the west. Sorry, fella. Look forward to your further.

Probably. A lot of the interesting stuff goes on in the 800 MHz range;
these are the frequencies that are going to start fillimg up quickly.

Yup. rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/rec.radio.scanner should have 'em.

I posted a similar request a while back.
A great idea it seems to be.
No one responded who is using it a SW DXing radio.
It is more often used for scanning higher frequencies such as police,
air and fire, etc.
A new, improved version will be out soon.
It does not appear to be a good value for the $700, but might fill a
niche for the handicapped or complete computer geeks (like me).

The PRO-2035 is a piece of junk (BELIEVE me, I use to own one). If you
bought it, you would more than likely want to use its auto program feature
to find aircraft frequencies. Well, the auto program feature is the
problem. It will program the same frequency as many times as it wants to
which is hundreds.
The PRO-2006 is considered by many to be the best scanner ever made because
the cellular frequencies can be restored. The only problems I know of is
that it only has 400 channels, and it may also have the same auto program
problem as the PRO-2035.
I now own the PRO-2042. I think this is the GREATEST and BEST scanner
made! It is the same thing as a PRO-2035 except it auto programs
perfectly, will tell you if you are programming the same frequency more
than once, gets rid of the green spinach light with beautiful orange (I
LOVE that), and all other problems. It has 1000 channels which is enough.
I only wish it had a way of counting how many times a frequncy has been
used and cellular reception.
I bought mine on sale with a 10% discount for $350. It now sells for $500,
but it should be on sale very shortly. I would STRONGLY recommend the
PRO-2042. It will fit you like a glove.

The newer ones can't be cellular modified. However, you can pick up
cellular images (just as strong as other signals, here) up around 900Mhz or
so.

It is a good scanner. I use to own one and enjoyed it until I discovered
frequencies I wanted to listen to that were either birdies or fuzz. I know
own the PRO-2042. It is simply the best scanner I have ever owned, and I

The past few days I've had luck hearing both Russian and American
astronauts on board MIR (but not from the Shuttle); try 145.85 (US amateur)
or 143.625 (RS MIR). If you can, leave a tape recorder hooked up on VOX and
scan those freq's; in both cases the transmissions, while clear, have
lasted less than 2 minutes each.
Good luck!

Heh, this is a common problem, and not just with the DSP-232.
The PK-232 has it too. The problem is a lack of RF bond between
the case halves. If you sand the paint off the mating surfaces,
and use a screw every 5 cm (as is standard VHF shielding practice),
those harmonics of the reference oscillator stay inside where
they belong, and don't radiate all over the shack.

I was just wondering about this model. What the regular/sale
price it can be had for (assuming RS still stocks it), is
it triple conv or double conv.... other features?
Please email replies.
Thanks
Tim

Actually I guess the image is 12.8 MHz lower (hard to pinpoint exactly
in WFM mode), which I understand is an internally-generated frequency.
There are definitely birdies at 12.8, 25.6, 38.4, etc.

From the FAQ, "Buying a Used Scanner:"
PRO-26: 1995 vintage. (Not to be confused with a simple 1985 |
crystal controlled portable bearing the same model number.)
Very good portable made by for Radio Shack by Uniden. 200
channels, very fast scan/search. Good display. Covers all
TV channels, but spectrum adjacent to cellular phone band is
censored which prevents monitoring parts of some trunked
systems (e.g., IL State Police district 4). Up to 50
frequencies can be skipped during search. Limited image
rejection causes 929 MHz paging interference in 170 MHz
range. IFs are 380.7/254.4, 58.075, and 5.5/0.455 MHz.
Audio suffers from small speaker. See "The Radio Shack
PRO-26 vs. Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S,
in Monitoring Times, August 1995.
BC3000XLT (Uniden): 1995 vintage. Excellent 400 channel
portable with 20 banks. Up conversion. Very fast scan,
search, and intelligent Auto Store. Mode, attenuator, and
delay settings programmable for each channel. 50
frequencies can be locked out during search. Larger speaker
than PRO-26 produces better, crisper audio. See "The Uniden
Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in Monitoring
Times, April 1995 and "The Radio Shack PRO-26 vs.
Uniden/Bearcat BC3000XLT," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in

Probably, none of them. When they used empty state electronic
devices, there was no 800 MegaCycles. What I mean is, that was
WAY up there. 440 was tough, much less 880.

I'm interested in opinions regarding what type/brand of scanner to buy
as a "First Scanner". I've been interested in the hobby for some
time, and am interested in staying in the 'mid" price range. What
models provide the most performance for my dollar? At what price
range should I start/ etc. What are the must have features? Also,
what type of antenna is best for general purpose scanning. Most of my
scanning will be done in a stationary location rather than mobile.
Please respond via E-mail
Thanks

I was recently given a Don Nobles (DN logo) speech inversion descrambler.
I think it's from the 70's. It has three wires coming out to hook to the
scanner, an on off switch (DPDT one side for 9V and the other side switches
signal) and a variable frequency adjust knob. Does anyone know where or
how these hooked up or have a schematic for this device or a similar one?
I'd feel better knowing before I committed my PRO-2006 for experimentation.
I know these were widely used and many circuits appeared for them back
then. Any help would be appreciated. I'd prefer a direct email reply if
possible, but if not I'll keep a lookout on the Newsgroup. Thanks

For about $75 you can get a GRE Super Converter. Check out Grove Electronics

If you can spend $350, get a Uniden BC3000XLT or a Radio Shack
Pro-26(also made by Uniden).
If you can spend $250, run to Radio Shack and get the Pro-60
which is on sale.
If you can spend $200, get a Uniden BC230XLT.
Good luck!

My question is probably the same as a lot of people out there.
I am looking to purchase a scanner (Preferably Radio Shack) that
is able to be easily modified to receive the cell phone frequencies.
Or can I purchase a (dual conversion?) scanner and be happy with
the imaging of the frequencies... ?
I spoke with one Radio Shack employee and he said that the newest
models could not be modified, but then I heard a conflicting story
from another employee at a different store...
Since the newer models of scanners may be different as far as how
hard they are to modify, which one do I buy???
I'm looking to spend anywhere from 99 to 299 dollars
Mike

Scanners can no longer be manufactured that can easily be modifed
receive cellular. I have seen adds that will convert my scanner (PRO-26)
for
around $100.00. I was told that they use a down converter installed in
scanner. Gone are the days when you could simply clip a diode or a
jumper (unless you can get hold of one made before the law took effect).
> Or can I purchase a (dual conversion?) scanner and be happy with

If you don't mind the problems associated with dual conversion, an 800Mhz
dual conversion scanner will pick up cellular images. Otherwise, if police
or other services in your area use the 800Mhz band, you may pick up
cellular
when you don't want it. Especially when near cell towers. I sold my dual
conversion and bought a triple because of the interference.

My advise would be to go to Radio Shack knowing what you want so that
you don't have to ask questions. You will probably find that you know more
about what you are buying than they do. Remember, they are salesmen who
would have you believe they technical experts.

When I worked at a local newspaper a few years ago, we were given a
confidential list of the descriptions of all the PD's undercover units so
that we wouldn't walk in on a bust by mistake, either getting a police
officer shot, a suspect shot, or ourselves shot.
Case in point, a pair of undercover police officers were trailing a pair
of suspects when the two perps robbed a liqour store. The gun battle that
ensued was straight out of the OK Corral, all persons involved were hit,
one suspect killed, one police officer wounded critically. Now in your
rocket scientist demeanor, you walk right into the bust with your scanner
becuase you'd think it was cool to warn the perps or whatever, you're
probably going to get a few bullets internally.
Get a life before you ruin it for everyone else.

I have both the PRO-26 and the AR8000. As far as ease of use,
the PRO-26 wins hands down. It also seems to have better reception
than the AR8000 (For anyone else reading this, I have tried antennas other
than the stock one that came with the 8000) and scans faster.
The advantages with the AR8000 are the computer interface, expanded
range, and increased channel capacity. It has some neat tricks, but I
don't
consider those useful for pratical scanning. I have yet to decide which
will
be my primary mobile scanner.
As to your question, I believe that the PRO-26 is a fine scanner that
desires
your consideration. From what I've heard, you might want to also consider
the
Uniden BC3000.

For what it's worth, the Pro-51, regularly $299 is on sale for $189

Sorry you got some stupid replies, but a birdie is a so called "dead"
frequency. All you hear is a continuous sound on that frequency. This
could be caused by electronics near your radio or it could just be the
radio itself.

Sorry to respond to my own post ...
I've found out that:
UP = <ctrl>^ = $1E = 30 = ASCII RS character
DOWN = <ctrl>_ = $1F = 31 = ASCII US character
Has anyone found the algorithm for storing the SRCH memory
information?
Thanks in advance.

Until someone pulls a gun for some reason, or months of work to bust
prostitutes goes dwon the drain because Ricky Rescue Scannerboy has to
get his jollies off screwing with the cops. You may also blow the covers
of undercover officers who may work in other enforcement details such as
drug bust, etc.

The label on the PRO-34 9MODEL NO: 20-135) lists frequencies covered
as:
30.-54., 108.-136., 136.005-174., 380.-512., 806.-823.9375,
851.1125-868.9375, 896.1125-960MHz
I don't know if this covers all of the cellular channels, but I know
that I can listen to some, but sometimes only one sided.

Radio Shacks web page has directions for the pro-43.
These are very close to the 2006, in fact most of their scanners are
controlled with the same key strokes.

I own a Uniden BC 200 xlt for 4 1/2 years now with no problems. It is

First of all, it don't happen that quick. Secondly, yep, solicit sex
from a prostitute, ie commit a unlawful act, and you can lose your

What you have is basically a application difference between the Visar,
and the GP300. The Visar because of it's size can be used in a number
of situations where the added bulk of the GP300 would not be usefull.
Cost, becomes a factor, as the GP300 is MUCH cheaper than a Visar.

No, the SP10 is the low end of the Motorola Product range. The GP is
on the low end of the BRANDED products, but the SP10, SP50, P110, are
all cheaper. The SP50 and P110 are very viable alternatives.

I made a error. the GP300 is not a branded product. It is however,
still nowhere near the low end product either.

Not a whole lot. GP300 will do DTMF PTT ID, p110 will not.
GP300 has internal vox, P110 does not.
GP300 available in 2 or 16 channel new,
p110 2, 6 OR 8 Channel.
GP300 multiple scan lists, P110 only 1 scan list.
There are most likely a few other minor differences....

I like it alot. It has excellent reception and fast scanning. Not to
mention the military bands that is supports. I listen to the space
shuttle on those frequencies whenever it passes over the U.S.

Hi Mike,
Each CHP Division has specific office or station numbers like 87 so
you know you will be listening to San Diego followed by the officers
number say 43. The Dispatcher will say something like 87-43 go to call
box 134 on the 5 freeway.
You have noticed the Oceanside and San Onofre and Temecula all use
the same frequencies, so to distinguish between them you will hear the
dispatcher say 92-123, 115-78, 132-12, meaning officer 123 from
Oceanside, officer 78 from Temecula, officer 12 from San Onofre.
It also tells which part of the Freeway system the officers patrol.
Hope this helps you some more in your new interest of scanning.
Mike

Hello! I would like to request that the frequencies for all of
the sports venues in the San Francisco Bay Area be emailed to me. I am
referring to these locations:
1)Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex
2)Candlestick/3Com Park
3)San Jose Arena
4)The Cow Palace
I would like to have the frequencies for security and the food
services at these venues. I know that Volume Services has the food
contract for the Oakland Coliseum and Candlestick.
If anyone knows of any sports venues that I may have forgotten,
please send me those frequencies as well.
Thanks!!

Same company, of course. Different people (servants), of course.
Simple attitudes toward the public can make a great difference.

I dunno, but it happens automatically in my experiences: two areas,
S.F. and L.A. Perhaps in many other areas as well. Go figure, more.

This is not Eugene...nor is Eugene like Portland where the
problems with the whores are more evident. Nor is it Honolulu
where the whores and like have taken over Waikiki and beyond.
This is referring to Calif...cops stop and question people who
talk to whores for a period of time and take down their car
license plate numbers and more. Then when they see you again
after they run your plate, they stop you and inquire and try
to get your attention to stay away.
If you don't carry ID they can arrest you...that and the
prosti/whore area makes it very easy to do. The cops are
cops....that is what they do.
They can take your car if they arrest you....but a lawyer
can get that back...but most don't know this. Depends on
circumstances.
Again, don't assume the mores of Eugene are transferrable to
San Fran or Hono or Seattle or else .... you have to get out
and travel more cities or live in more...then you learn.

William,
Conventional wisdom says You are likely to
overload. I use a car scanner antenna on a mag mount in
the house and it helps. And I use it on the Car on occasion.

Has anyone ever experienced the loss of frequencies on their scanner ?
Upon turning mine on last week (new batteries) every pre programmed
freq was erased. I reprogrammed all the freqs and two days later the
same thing happened any suggestions would be appreciated .

This poor bastard can't even spell scanner. What the hell is a SACNNER?

It's in the current flyer I just received (pg. 40), on sale for $189.99.
While it could be that rumors of this model's demise are greatly
exaggerated, it's also possible that they're just liquidating their
remaining stock before dropping it.

Mike

Greetings,
I am still looking to buy or build a Kenwood IF-10D interface for my
TS-60s all-mode transceiver. This interface mounts inside the radio and
serves as a buffer between the radios digital board and a level
converter such as Kenwood's IF-232C interface. I am building my own
level converter from readily available plans, but I have not been able
to find any plans or specifications on the IF-10D.
If you have information on this interface, or have an IF-10D you would
like to part with, please leave me a private Email message and I will
get back to you.
All reply's will be answered.
Thanks for your time.
Mike, N2QAC.

Greetings,
I am planning on building and buying the hardware to interface my
Kenwood TS-60s to my computer. I am sure their are others who have
already done this and have some opinion on the software available to
control the radio once the interfacing has been done. I would like to
hear from people who use their radios in this manner and get their
feedback on what software they use and what they like or do not like
about it. Any recomendations would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time and all reply's will be answered.

Mine has lasted several years now. I have an older model, which I
modified for 100 channels. (don't think the special mods for the new
models have a memory enhancement mod)
The BC860 is one jump up. I _think_ it has 100 channel capacity as
well as a data squelch which supposedly will cancel out data
transmissions (although, reportedly, unfortunately, will not cancel out
the control channel of an 800 MHz trunked system)
The scanner has a problem of intermod with cellular phones and
pagers. This is typical of 800 MHz scanners with double-conversion
circuits. It is an okay scanner for the money. I'd get the 860
though... I would have if it was out when I went to buy a scanner.

Anyone know why Icom V/UHF receivers have such slow scan rates (10-20 channels
per second, when everyone else approaches 50) and are there any mods
available to substantially increase that rate?

Hi Clarke,
It would help if you could tell us what the Big Red Boat is?
A location of where it is would help also?

I agree that Popcom should do an in depth reveiw of this product. One
thing that I find puzzling is that how can an HF card perform well when
it inside the computer, let alone having a regulare HF receiver next to a
computer that gets interference. Also I think POPCOM in general has to
be more aggressive in their reveiws

just starting to learn Access. I need to know how to pull the data for
one state (Maryland) out of the CD and onto my hard drive. I started
out using 'trial and error' but each experiment took hours.
Has anyone already done this? Please give me some general directions.

I am interested in adding another filter to the 2nd IF
in my BC9000XLT. The wide FM selectivity is poor,
and a cascaded filter / amplifier combo ought to make
the radio suitable for FM broadcast DXing.
What frequency is the 2nd IF? It is not 10.7 MHZ...

I agree with David in that the Pro-26 is a fine scanner; which is should
be for the top of the line. I have too friends who recently came to me with
recommendations for a scanner. After talking to them and giving them a
hands-on demo of a Pro-26 and BC3000, one chose the 26(for size and battery
flexibitity) while the other chose the 3000(for the rechargable Ni-Cad).
Each bought the scanner mail order and each paid $349 total. You can't
go wrong with either of these scanners for the price and features.
Strong signals,

I am running periodic tests with Internet Phone version 4.0
to put audio from my scanner onto the Internet. So far, a
few individuals have visited my unannounced tests and
apparently the system works.
If you have Vocaltec's Internet Phone and log into their
Global Online Directory, look and see if anyone is in the
Scanner Audio Test chat room. If you see me (NF2G) in
there, I am running an audio feed from my scanner. You
won't be able to chat with me at all, but you can listen to
whatever is coming over the scanner at the time.
These tests are periodic and take place whenever I don't
need my phone line for anything else. Yesterday I ran it
for about 8 hours. I am configured for up to 4 simultaneous
connections. If that works well I can boost the number.
Write to dstark@frontiernet.net with any comments about the
test, especially if you encounter problems with the audio.
I also have some RealAudio recordings of major incidents
that took place around 1982 or 1983 in upstate New York
available on my website. Check out -

Well Chris
Best thing to do is get the book....call Scanners Unlimited
and ask for Glen and ask Glen to help you with info he may
have for sale....this way you get the most current list or
booklet available. Glen is in San Carlos on Laurel Avenue
across from the Yogurt Shop on Main Street.....it is a 415
prefix. Call information and enjoy.
He is closed on Sun/Mon.
I am looking at myh copy of Govt. Radio Systems, but it is
a bit dated...1994. Freq's may change and best to get the
updated filess.
This is from Mobile Radio Resources in San Jose
408 269 5814
There is a section in the book for sports...and it's
on disk for those who enjoy ...

Rich,
This isn't meant as a flame, or to question your abilities. <G>
Why would a beginner buy the BC-80 or a Pro-66 when a Sportcat can be had for
$10 more than the 80, and
$20 less than the Pro-66 on sale?
I ask this because a girl at work wants to buy her fiance one for Christmas, s
he asked me for input,
and the Sportcat looked like the best value in the price range. I don't own a
scanner at this level,
I have a BC200-xlt, Pro-2006, and Pro-2035.
Nice review of the 80, thanks.

For the most part the scan rate of a synthesized scanner depends on
the design of the PLL oscillator circuit. Without seeing a schematic
I am assuming the Icom receivers do not employ a fast-lock type PLL
In general terms here's what that means: the loop filter will have
two (or more) switchable bandwidths which first, in wideband (corse)
mode allows the VCO to tune quickly, then in narrowband (fine) mode
allows the VCO to tune precisely to frequency. In another variation
on the theme the corse steps or ranges are under microprocessor
control and the PLL does the rest.
What to do? Well it would probably require a complete synthesizer
re-design to get that kind of speed and Icom does call their receivers
"communications receivers" and not "scanners." What comes to mind
right away would be to use a fast-lock synthesizer in a basic "signal
detection" receiver which would then tune the Icom via the data port.
Wouldn't it be easier to just get a fast scanner?

I have a Uniden Bearcat model SC150 and was just wondering if it can
be modified for ANYTHING! :) Really, what I was kinda hoping it could
do it pick up radio station frequencies, (like 88-107.9) or open the
whole 800 band. Is there anything I can do to it, other than what it
does now?

Try http://www.AudioNet.com/radio/special/ It has the Dallas police and
the Dallas/Fort Worth control tower (interesting during locally poor
weather). I suggest you get the real audio 3.0 beta, as the stereo
broadcast are impressive for only using 28.8 modems.

I got my serial interface working and I tested it with Radio Manager.
Now I want to make some changes to the EEPROM contents. If anyone has
done this, I would sure appreciate some pointers.
I tried playing with Microsoft Terminal and Crosstalk to just see if
they will work. When I type a character, the scanner knows that it is
recieving something (serial displayed on LCD, but the scanner doesn't
seem to respond by doing anything. Im using the commands from WJE's
2700 page. Are there prefex/suffix characters that I need to use? Or
maybe CR/LF?
Then I tried to have the scanner output it's brains using a copy-send
from the keyboard. The terminal programs would show a few characters,
but then it appears that the scanner stops sending. Could it be
waiting for some sort of acknowledgement?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no need for someone to buy a ham tranceiver to find a CTCSS tone.
Besides, most HTs do not display the tone on a display, you will need to
step through every tone until you find which one is being used. The best
advice I can give is to buy an actual CTCSS decoder unit with a display.
Many are sold by various companies for test applications. I know that
Optoelectronics sells at least one such unit. You can find them on the
web at www.optoelectronics.com. Picking up a copy of a couple scanning
magazines and looking through advertisements wouldn't hurt either.

Nashville TN, 1991. just north of the central district border, in
East secter, Dickerson Road, just north of Douglas avenue.
Idiot had been listening to the stings for prostitution, and decided
to go warn people. Had a handmade sign on the back of his
pinto (Gag) warning people of the sting.
When arrested, he said he had first heard about the stings on his
scanner, he had one in his car tuned to east patrol.
Check it out. Call east patrol sector.
they will also tell you about giving out a address to go and serve a
warrant, and finding the person later, who had been warned by phone
calls from strangers that the PD was enroute to the house.
Don't think for a minute that it does not happen.

I have a Uniden BC-200 XLT full of channels I don't want. Is there any
way I can "reset" the entire scanner or delete an individual channel? I
already tried entering 0 and 0.0 etc...It just says error. Please
respond only with helpful information and not flame.

Ive just got a few questions about my AR8000 scanner.
When I switched it on a few days ago the light was on and the 2 vfo freqs
were reset to 80.000mhz. The unit was back to newuser as well.
What could cause this?
It seems to be working fine now except that since this happened I have to
actually hold the FUNC key in instead of just pressing this once.
Any ideas?

Mike,
I recently purchased the Radio Shack Pro-25, 100 channel scanner.
Cell phone frequencies are of a abundant supply; no prob picking up
these areas. As for having 100 channels, well it was the step up to
getting the 800 Mhz that appealed to me. The other scanners (100 ch
and below) don't get this.
Overall I love the scanner. Not bad for a mear $220.00 (on sale)
regular $280.00
Glen,

Greetings! Could anyone please direct me to a source of information for Keico
crystal scanners? My brother-in-law just gave me a Keico Skysearch II made by
Kohoku back in the early-mid '70s. It is a 12 channel radio with VHF low and
high and UHF coverage.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks....

>I got my serial interface working .....
My previous post described a problem with the computer control done
manually through a terminal emulator. After some turkey, pie, and
hints from Doug Mitton I figgured out what was wrong. I didn't have
the stupid caps lock on. The AR2700 expects all caps! Once I figgured
this, all works well manually.
Then I tried to capture the Copy-Send again. All I saw on the terminal
was a "%0000#". I got to looking at some AR8000 docs from the web and
they showed the same thing. The protocols are very similar.
The scanner sends an address of the block of data it wants to send.
The computer has to echo back the address, and then the scanner sends
the data followed by the next address. Then this repeats till the
transfer is done.
Just for yucks, I set Radio Manager for AR8000 and tried the upload
function (only avaialable for AR8000). It kinda worked. It showed the
transfer progress but bombed-out at the end apparently because the
size of the transfer didn't match. Even if it did work, Radio Manager
doesn't support downloading back to the radio.
So the process of uploading the EEPROM image, editing it, and
downloading it isn't as straightforward as I thought. You need some
kinda smarts to handle the handshaking. I suppose I could write a
program to do this, but now I'm wondering if anyone has been down this
path before me. Has anyone heard of a program to do this?

Hi Frank,
My father has the same radio and I've determined it can't be modified
for all of 800 mhz. It was built after April 1994 and, by law, was
made to be unmodifiable for the cellular phone frequencies.
As far as the FM broadcast band is concerned even if you could get the
radio to accept the frequencies the reception would be very distorted.
The radio was designed for narrow band and FM broadcasts are wideband,
on the order of 150 to 200 khz.
By the way, you can use the image technique to hear much of the
missing gaps in 800 mhz.

You've encountered some of the problems with the AR8000. I haven't exeprienced
the first, but I've heard that if you turn the scanner off while it is scannin
g
on a pass frequency it will reset some of the parameters in the config menu.
The FUNC key is one of these parameters that it resets. It's called something
line FUNC or 2ndF in the menu, just change that option and you'll be back to
normal.

I am preparing to purchase the BCT-10 for use in Massachusetts.
I really like the idea of preprogrammed state police frequencies (does it
also support 800 Mhz for trucked radios)?. I also like the ability to
spot a police car even if their radar isn't on.
How well does it perform overall in Massachusetts?
Any comments, though, anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

yes, that's what interagency frequencies are for, but the pol;ice rarely
use them..I do know that the Fire departments hee in Maricopa county do
use interagency frequencies..Phoenix dispatches for most
cities/communities in the county with the exception of Mesa, Scottsdale,
and a few other areas....
There have been several incidents..wshen I am home, I turn on my scanners
and it will become obvious that one agency does not know what hte other
is doing!

What is the answer: if on scene and looking and observing and
maintaining reasonableness in your car, the cops will leave
you alone...reading a paper, looking at a map book or many,
pretending to make a cellular call, etc.
What is not an answer: allowing the events to become more than
it is: work.
Your best bet is to Keep Your Scanner unseen. On Low volume.
Watch and observe and then tell someone later what you saw.

But also keep a camera handy...there may be gunfire and you can
make a good buck or more for those "action shots" newspapers
just love to publish or video that will make it on tv....
You never know.
There is a bad side and there is a good side and there is
their side and your side and all other asides. Besides,
it sure beats the hell our of watching MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL.

Hi there, I'm an ENG and EFP operator in CANADA and have been lurking on
this newsgroup for some time, I now have 2 questions for you guys.
1) Is there a newsgroup that deals with Canadian or Southern Ontario,
Northern New York Frequencies???
2) I have a BC220 XLT and am LEGALLY ALLOWED to monitor cell freq's in
CANADA, but I can't find anyone or anywhere that can modify this beast!!!
Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated!
BTW, just reading some of the posts on this group has yielded more
scanning info and tips to me than the last 3 years of work, WELL DONE
GUYS! Looks like most of you are doing your homework before posting,
nice change on the net wouldn't you say?
TTYL, Thanks in Advance!
Dan Sandor

What about undercover drug officers who participate in this kind of thing
specifically to get information on people they'll later arrest? Is this
illegal too?
I'm not flaming, but I'm genuinely curious - do you think undercover ops
of any kind should be illegal?
(We're getting *really* divergant from the topic, so maybe we should move
this somewhere else..)

Can I switch a diode on the new Pro-43's to receive cellular frequencies
like with the old models? And can I do the same thing on any of the
other currently available scanners?
Any info will be appreciated,

One of the very best all-purpose programs for hobbyists, pro's, and
even small businesses is Microsoft WORKS for Windows. WORKS contains a
decent word processor, respectable spreadsheet, and nice database manager.
All three are interactive and work in harmony with each other.
All three are very flexible with respect to the kinds of files they can
import and export. And a bright spot is the cost....well under $100 with
$79 typical, but I've seen it discounted to $49 here and there.
Worth a look.

I've got a few questions about Military satellites that I'm hoping
some people in this group can answer.
First of all, all I have found about receiving satellites has been
for American spacecraft like UHF F/O and LEASAT. Is there anything up
there over the continental US that belongs to another country that we
could listen to? (Cosmos, Raduga, etc.?) If so, where could I find
information about these?
Also, I have only heard one military satellite signal since I
bought my first scanner with mil. band. (I received that signal with a
handheld antenna.) If I really want to become involved in this part of the
spectrum, which is the best way to go with an antenna? Monitoring
practices? My guess would be a helical of some kind, scanning all channels
of a given satellite. I'd be interested to hear some personal experiences.
How accurate would I have to be in the pointing of the antenna toward the
MilSats?
Finally, what is currently the most active satellite in the
Military band? What would I be most likely to hear? Is it even worth it?
Thanks for your responses - If I get some good answers I'll try
and post some kind of miniFAQ since questions like mine surface once in a
while. Thanks again-

1. Do all models have a problem with audio clipping in the 800mhz range?
2. Is there a problem with excessive birdies?
3. Are there any other shortcomings that might make me not want to get one?
4. What other hand held scanners have a simmilar range of freq's

At the present, most handhelds receive cellular through images in the
894-920 MHz range. I use to own a Sportcat that did this, but 10 channels
in each of the 10 banks didn't impress me. I have been giving thought to
purchasing a BC230XLT. It use to be a BC220XLT so I wonder if it will pick
up cellular. There was an earlier message that said they do.
What I really think is neat about this handheld is the fact that it has
service searches for Police, Fire/Emg, etc. As far as I know, the Radio
Shack handhelds don't have a Police search, but do have Fire/Emg, Weather,
etc. It is also interesting to note that Uniden, who makes the Bearcats
and Sportcat, make almost 95% of Radio Shack's scanners while GRE makes the
other 5% like the PRO-2042 that I own.
Hope This is of Some Help,

In Central Ohio it seems they have a very good system for interagency
comunication. There are several freqs agencies use for interagency
comms. Only recently has the Columbus Police dept become more
unrelaible. With their 800 Mhz system, evedently they cannot monitor the
main interagency freq and their own dispatch simultaneously. They can
contact whoever they want, when they need to, but most often when anyone
tries to contact them, they are greeted by silence.

James,
I've found that the most important part of an attic/outdoor antenna is
the feedline. I installed a discone last year, feed it with approx. 90'
of RG58 coax. It was terrible, my handhelds' rubber duck out-performed
it in some frequency ranges.
Then I spent the big bucks & got some Beldon 9913 coax. It made a world
of difference. UHF and above jumped out of my scanner! Good coax & the
shortest run possible is where it's at for attic/outdoor antennas.

None of the currently availible scanners pick up cell freqs (although
the AOR 8000 can be modified thru software).
I've used a Radio Shack PRO-62 with excellent results. 200 channels & a
very "clean" receiver. It uses common AA dry cells or ni-cads (no
expensive batteries to buy). It's small in size too.

You may want to post this request on de.alt.radio-scanner. I've seen
several posting for frequencies in DE and NL in that group.
You should also check out alt.radio.scanner.uk.
You can also subsrcribe to the Euro-Scanner listserv at the

I was wondering if the mobile extender warning is really useful. I mean,
can this scanner be used in place of a radar deteactor (that is what the
ads I've seen seem to imply).
Any advice is appreciated -- please post to group -- my email account is
screwed up.

My tape recorder w\controller switch dutifully records the night's
scanner comm's, rolling the tape whenever the squelch breaks no
problem. But sooner or later the volume on the tape will start
to lower. Soon I have the volume turned up to full and the stuff
on the tape can barely be heard. It will keep dropping with each
day's tape geting harder and harder to hear until it gets right
down to nothing. Does anyone else have this problem?

Lately I've been bothered by the use (and misuse) of the terminology
for communications paths. Way back in undergraduate studies I learned the
following terms:
Simplex - one channel supporting uni-directional communications, i.e.
a doorbell, P.A. system, or (in radio usage) a paging transmitter.
Dual Simplex - two uni-directional channels, supporting communications
in opposite directions, i.e. a 4-wire phone link or the use of separate
mobile-base and base-mobile radio frequencies.
Half Duplex - a single channel that can be used in either direction, but
not simultaneously, i.e. a 2-wire long distance phone line or the use of a
single radio frequency by both parties.
(Full) Duplex - a single channel that can be used simultaneously in both
directions, i.e. modems using different tones for originate and answer.
In casual use we tend to ignore the niceities and say simplex when
dual-simplex (or even half-duplex) is meant, and use duplex to mean half
duplex. I've even found the FCC regulations (a fount of excruciating detail)
sometimes use the same term to mean different things.
I'm wondering what people in the various disiplines (ham radio, telephony,
commercial two-way, etc) know about both the formal definitions and common
practice in using these terms. Have the meanings drifted since I learned the
basics (admittedly, back then B+ actually meant a B battery <g>); do different
fields have different usages; or am I just being pedantic?

The most common frequencies that McDonalds uses are:
35.020/154.600
154.570/170.245
However most of the ones in my area have recently switched
to 469.0125/464.0125

I am looking for the CTCSS frequencies for some of the Missouri State Highway
Patrol
troop channels. I have the radio frequencies, but I need to obtain the tone f
requencies
so I can protect my receiver(s) to keep out interference from troop HQs beyond
those I
monitor.
If anyone has a source of PL tone info (i.e., later version of Percon than min
e which
has no PL info in that field) or another reliable source, I would certainly ap
preciate
hearing from you.
The channel pairs I'm monitoring are:
42.06 Base
42.22 Mobile
42.38 Base
42.32 Mobile
42.12 Base
42.32 Mobile

I believe the Percon database program allows you export a subset of
records to another "DBF" file. So, using Percon, export all the Maryland
data to another "DBF" file. Then, from within Access, use the "File" menu
"Get External Data" command. Choose the "Import..." submenu option. In
the dialog box that appears, set the file type to "Microsoft Foxpro" and
specify the path and name of your Maryland "DBF" file. Click on the
"Import" button and set back and wait for the import to complete.
After the import is done, be sure to go into "design view" for the
resultant table and create indexes for the data columns (City, County,
Service Code, Frequency, etc.) you will do most of your searches on. This
will increase the speed of any searches and queries that you will do.

I have been thinking about ordering a Yupiteru scanner from a Canadian
firm. These scanners apparently have not been approved by the FCC. I was
wondering if U.S. Customs is likely to confiscate the scanner when it
passes into the U.S. If I put it on my credit card, will I have to pay
the bill if it's confiscated? Any opinions or experiences?

yes, they did did did in fact fact fact move to 800....about two

Scanners are the one thing RS markets that are perfect to
perfected. Strange. I'm told their computers too are very well
made, but their prices are sickening to consider based on the
prices most discounters and mail order charge....what I paid
for my 166mghz Pentium Multi-Media RS would charge around 3K
for....that's 900 more.
Remember: RS don't make em...they market them. BearCat makes
some and another company with three or four capital letters logo
makes them for RS.....
RS scanners are very sensitive and very well constructed. Too bad
the scanners don't reflect the "answer guys" who inhibit their
stores...most don't know much about scanners...just that you turn
it on and program it and then turn it off when through.

This new development just in....Santa Clara Sheriff is going
over to 800 trunked. Making the issue of listening in on any
SC prosti sting a mute point.
It's very difficult to listen in on Oakland's 800 Erickson
system when they do their runs wherever they do them against
the street whores...why?
Well, they have a set of frequences allotted which are not
listenable on scanner....used by UC operations. Plus I'd
imagine the Watch Commander, Lt. and like use them too.
That makes for a pretty closed Operation. No one can hear
what the op is up to....so no way to "JUST BE THERE" giving
one's support.
I also understand that when DEA and DOJ get involved in certain
stings they bring Encrypted Hand Sets along and give them to the
local police's OIC and that is how that is handled. All I ever
hear lately is "moving to location C from F"....or "we are now
with UC and awaiting paper to be faxed".... for those of you
who don't know what this means: tough!
PLus they have their digital radios or digital cell....DOJ and
DEA and FBI and more.....hard listening to what cannot be
heard.

You can mod it so the US one picks up cellular in the 380Mhz atrea (or
nearby I think) or you can purchase the European chip or logic board that
has full coverage. See Javiations web site www.demon.co.uk/javiation/ for
details.

To quote the page referenced -- "will increase the scan rate by about
60%" with the ultimate limit being how fast the synthesizer can lock.
In addition, if I remember correctly, the Icom receivers have
relay-switched band units which would require a considerable amount of
time to switch. I assume the uP allows for this as well as watching
for PLL lock detect.

This was my reason for getting the PRO-26 over the Bearcat as I didn't
really like the Battery pack situation. I think the 3000XLT is the better
radio but I have no problems with my PRO-26 and like its size.
If you want the full coverage version without cell block you will have to
go a dealer outside the USA. Try Javiation at www.demon.co.uk/javiation/

You probably already have the basics, but there are a couple
of websites that should be helpful:
http://www.frontiernet.net/~dstark/ NF2G Scannist Pages -
all 55 "upstate" NY counties, plus 6 Regional Municipalities
(so far) in Ontario
http://www.interlog.com/~ronkatz/ Ron Katz' site - he is
also in the news biz
I have links to a couple of others on my Links page - I
don't remember the full URLs off the top of my head.
Also, if you're near the shore of Lake Ontario from
approximately Scarborough to Trenton or thereabouts, you
might be able to hear the Western NY Scanner Listeners' Net
on Mondays at 8pm local time on 442.8 (110.9) or 146.925
MHz. We get a few checkins from Canada nearly every week.

From what I have learned, the mobile extender is the in-car repeater in
varioius police cars. If they don't use their radio - just have a radar
gun aimed at you, or, if their repeater uses different frequencies, then
it is useless.
Anyone have a listing of the frequencies the 7 uses state-by-state? I
know Mass is using trunked 800 with some 30 Mhz still here and there. If
I knew what frequencies the 7 used, I'd know if it would be worth it vs. a
radar detector.

Too narrow a definition for common usage. A single simplex
channel can be used for two-way communication, which is the
way most non-repeater communications are carried out. (In
ham parlance, the term "simplex" usually means "not on a
repeater" in normal conversation.)

Half-duplex and "Dual Simplex" are the same thing in radio.
What you describe as "Half Duplex" is considered to be
"Simplex".
Dual (or two-frequency) simplex is used by the New York
State Police and by VHF taxicab operators. Generally, units
transmitting on one frequency cannot monitor the other while
their mic is keyed.
> (Full) Duplex - a single channel that can be used simultaneously in both
>directions, i.e. modems using different tones for originate and answer.
On a radio system, full duplex operation is achieved using
two frequencies that are not combined into a repeater.
Stations on each frequency must be able to monitor the
return channel while transmitting. This is the way ALS
communications on the Med channels is done in my area (on
the rare occasions when they're not using cellular phones).

I'm sure somebody will criticize you for that. :-)
The terms need to be descriptive of the communication system
being discussed. If the technicalities match, so much the
better.

"Mount" means whatever the judge says it means. In the
meantime, the police may have the authority to confiscate
your scanner until the matter has been resolved in court.
You people need to realize that you cannot just read the
statute and then believe you know exactly what the law is.
That is not how the (American) criminal justice system

They can't be "illegal" unless they break the law.
Gathering evidence for later arrests by going undercover has
been held to be lawful and constitutional many, many times
by the U.S. Supreme Court and by State appellate courts in
just about every state.
The only thing the police have to be careful to avoid is
"entrapment", which is clearly defined in the law. In NY,
the law states that entrapment occurs when an officer causes
someone to commit a crime that the individual would not
normally be disposed to commit. Creating an opportunity for
someone who wants to break the law anyway (like prostitution
stings and undercover dope deals) is not entrapment.
(See NYS Penal Law Section 40.05 for the statutory
definition of Entrapment - and remember that these laws are
always affected by case law if there is any.)

My wife and I met when she was a Paramedic and I was a
dispatcher. She used to have as much enthusiasm as I did
for monitoring the action even when off-duty.
Then she was involved in an accident while enroute to a
hospital with a patient and destroyed several disks in her
spine. (She has had two unsuccessful spine fusion attempts.)
There is no way that she will ever be able to go back to
work, and she really misses being a Paramedic.
Now the beloved radios are "those damn scanners".

Sure can.
Remove two screws on bottom of battery pack.
Pry open battery pack. There are two snap tabs on the top but I
haven't found a way to open with out breaking them. Not a problem
though, a little crazy glue will hold the top together again.
Inside are six AA nicad cells with tabs soldered together in series.
You can replace with any AA nicads with solder tabs. RS has them but
I got mine from a local supplier that sold 800 mAH cells for longer
life.
Reassemble battery case.
I've done this twice on two battery packs with no problems. If you
don't use too much glue in reassembly you can open the case again
easily next time.

EEB carries a nice device that clips onto the fins of the vents found on mo
st
dashes. You then attach your radio to this device using its belt clip. I have
one
and find it very useful. I believe its the QS200 and sells for $14.95. Its all
metal and has a rubber pad glued to the front surface to keep it from scratchi
ng
the finish on the back of your radio when mounted.

You might also want to check out the Pro-51 which is on sale
for $190. It is identical to the Pro-25 except you get 200 channels
and pre-programmed service search(police, fire/EMS, marine and
weather). This scanner normally sells for $300 from Radio Shack.

What a load of bullshit. Since when did the governor of any state
become able to pass laws in direct conflict with the Constitution.
Nice try, but no strawmen accepted.
Arrested for talking to a whore? On what planet. Seems like it would
be real easy for the police to arrest anyone they wanted if one were
to follow your logic. Just have the decoy (who you seem to imply meets
the legal requirements of whoredom) speak to anyone on the street.
When they reply, BAM, and even though the decoy is really a cop,
anyone, male, female, canine, can be taken away, and held for 24 hours
on these grounds, during which time they hope your "papers" aren't in
order (May I see your <ausweis> please?), so they can lock you up and
sell your automobile. Right. What a quick way to control the general
public. Maybe we can start putting yellow Stars of David and pink
triangles on people. I'm sure that would be ok with governor Wilson.

I just obtained a set from Toys R US and found that they're using
916.875 Mhz for the main calling freuquency. The units seem to
switch to another freuquency only if you two party lines active at
the same time.
If you place the phones in Private mode, they switch frequencies once
a link has been established between two phones.
The phones do not appear to be using DCS or CTCSS.
I've also noticed that if a link goes inactive (you haven't keyed the
link switch for over 15 seconds) the units get lost, and unless both
parties hit the clear switch, there doesn't appear to be away for the
two parties to establish another connection.

In this town. It is illegal to have a radio capable of receiving police
frequencies ONLY when it is a PART of the car. Handheld is OK and the

I would try the following frequencies:
49.830
49.845
49.860
49.875
49.890
If that doesn't work, then you may want to search from 902-928 Mhz

Have you demagnetized the recorder head? That sometimes helps.

UPS finally sent me the $355.00 check due from a COD received by the
purchaser on 10/21/96.
It was cut on Wednesday, and sent to me via UPS RED LABEL so I would
have it today.
I would like to thank those here who felt my frustration and supported
my efforts.
I would also like to thank the individual from UPS Corporate Customer
Relations in Atlanta, whi initially swa my posts here, the individual
in Customer Relations at the Secaucus, NJ facility, and another
individual who is actively on line here, works for UPS, and helped to
get the check red labeled to me, and therefore a resoution of this
matter.
I will not mention their names as I am not sure if they want them
posted publicly here, but these parties know who they are, and again,
Thank You.
I am convinced that had it NOT been for my postings here in the
groups, and these were only posted in THREE radio related groups, I
would still be waiting for my money.
Numerous calls to the 800 number, which are usually NOT UPS employees,
but telephone services contracted by UPS, apparently where forwarded
to UPS by the services, but went unanswered.
I've learned that for regular shipping, UPS seems to run a tight ship.
I've never had a problem with them in that regard. Others here have
had packages lost or damaged, and based on the millions of packages
shipped each day, I guess this will occurr from time to time. BUT, if
you are on the RECEIVING end of this bad service, then you will feel
as I did...that no one cared about serving YOU.
They seem to srping leaks in their ship with regard to COD, however.
Apparently there is NO sure way for efficient COD service currently
with UPS. Sometimes they send a Money Order directly to you,
uncashed, sometimes they will cash a money order made out to you, and
then cut their own check. It is hit or miss, and you cannot predict
what or when they will do what. I've been told they are going to a
new, more efficient COD system. Lets hope so.
Right now, FEDEX is the way to go for COD. I sent a package from NJ
to North Carolina via overnight afternoon service on Monday. The
package was received on Tuesday , 11:48 AM, the party paid the COD by
Certified check, and I had the certified check in my hands this
morning, delivered to my door by FEDEX! I would've had it yesterday
if not for the Thanksgiving holiday. Yes, you pay more..but for COD
serv ice of this type, its worth it!
Anyway, I'm glad I finally have my money, and hope that information
discussed during the course of these threads will help others in
future radio-related shipping transactions!

Does anyone know the frequencies of the new "3M" headsets
that McDonalds is using? They're grey one piece units
that are mark with a "GM" logo, but the base unit near
the Drive-up windows is marked "3M". I search the entire
UHF band (457.xxxx, 460.8875 - 469.9875) and was unable to
get any hits. I also tried the old VHF-low/VHF-hi combos
(35.02/154.600) and 154.600/170.245), but was uanble to
get a hit on those also.

there's lots of juicy stuff on the cellular bands (869-896mhz) I have
heard the normal honey I'll be home late, contractors ordering suplies,
realators arranging to show houses, people talking about an employee they
intend to hire, promote, or fire, I was about a block away and heard a
girl give a guy directions to her house. have also heard people make
Airline reservations or a credit card purchase using a cell phone...
That's something I caution anyhone I know with any type of radio
phone (cordless or cellular) to NEVER do!
You justhave to be listening at the right time...best time is during hte
morning or evening rush hour....
have also heard drug deals and plotting of other illegal activity...
yes, on the police frequencies yhou can hear interesting phone patches
too..officers calling their wives, the chief calling dispatch..probation
officers calling people they are supervising....asnd the list goes on...
if it's out there, my radios will find it!

try SPORTY'S PILOT SHOP..800-liftoff....they sell a holder to hold a
portable transceiver/vor or transceiver/GPS I believe it has a suction cup
mount that will mount to the windshield..
those can holders that fasten to your window with a loop to hold an Al can
or drinking cup work well also. I just cut the top hoop so it expands and
allows my square scanner to fit in the round hole designed for a cen or
cup..works fine

Hi Curtis,
this might also be one of the new V-Link phones that Toys R US is selling
for Christmas this year. A guy that I share an office with just obtained
two of them the other day. The calling frequency seems to be 916.875, but
when we switched them to private mode, both units changed frequencies
when a link was established.

Here in the Phoenix area, the cities of Tempe, Scottsdale, Glendale, and
Chandler use 800mhz systems....
there is usually a method to the madness....TEMPE uses 860.7375-->856.7375
and also 856.4875-->860.4875....usually "Channel A" will be on a discrete
frequency..normally 860.7375 or 859.7375..
ther are some systems though, like the GE/ERICSSON system used by Sky
harbor Airport where each reply to a conversation may shift to a different
frequency..this is either preceded by a control tone or data burst.
in this case, I scan the frequencies from Hi to low..not hard to follow a
conversation using this strategy!
hope this helps JOHN

To scan over digital you need to get a radio such as the Motorola
Astro-Saber (portable) that is digital, it picked up the full bandwith, I
am familiar with this radio in the 400mhz range scanning in NYC where som
agencies are starting to go digital.
You can also use the Astro-Spectra which is the mobile/desk unit version
of the Astro-Saber.
It is not inexpensive to do this though.
You can also use an "open modem" with a modified cord to scan over and and
recive the MDT systems (KDT, Laptop Dispatch...etc..) used by many
agencies as well.

Hi there,
Make sure your not having the infamous BC200 battery indicator problem. I
had this problem. I would charge it and about 15min later the battery
light would come on. Check the usual mod web pages for a fix. If that
doesn't work, the batteries are simply 4 AA NiCd's. Anyway, the
batteries are all shrinkwrapped together and a they bridged them with a
pice of metal and solder patches. Take the pack apart and you'll see what
I mean.

In the latest issue of Popular Communications there is a product called
"Sound Feeder" SF-100. This device transmits an audio output from an device
like a CD player or scanner to you FM stereo receiver.
Anyone have any experience with this product.
Thanks

Check http://www.orst.edu/~varineb/ffood.htm or
http://www.orst.edu/~varineb/fastfood.htm
I think I stuck Bob Eisners master list in there. He is the guru of
headset freqs. I know they are up in the 915MHz area using WFM.

A lot of these use 88-108 MHz so people can plug their FM Walkmans and

The only one I remember is 460.175 for the aircraft on highway patrol. I
visit the Hayward area every year and monitor the state/county police
patrols. I've heard this freq used most on the weekends. Scan the
151-152 range for DNR. Scan the 153-156 range for police and fire. State
police on 154.680, 154.905.

Hi, I am considering buying the older model pro 2026. It does not have a
memory feature and if power were cut, all freqs would be lost. I have
heard that you can hook up a 12volt battery or something to keep power if
you move the unit from mobile to base (ie car to home) and back and forth.
Also, it has no ac power adapter, can I still use one? Anyone who has
used this, any ifo would be appreciated. Thanks

From the master of fast food, Bob Eisner:
Toy R Us wireless phone system
I came across a carrier today on 457.5375 and 457.5875 while
driving past a Toys R US store in Wheaton, MD. While I was
waiting at a stop light, the 457.5875 came active and I heard
some say "Toy R US Wheaton, may I help you." The 457.5875
frequency was Full Duplex (both sides) with the handset on
467.8125 (input).
The frequency combination in use is the same as those that are
allocated to Fast Food chains (like KFC 457.5875/467.8125). I've
seen various listing in the FCC files in the past the have Toy R US
allocated to 35.02/156.600 (same as McDonlds) was never able to find
out what this was used for. I think this may also be used for their
cordless phones in other stores across the country.
Please let me know if anyone else has come across this.
The New 3M Intercoms operate in the 902-928 Mhz range.
The Speaker (repeater) should be in the 920-922 Mhz range
The Headset (input) should be in the 903-905 Mhz range.

I bought the Scanstar Advanced from Grove for $159. When I received it,
I was quite disappointed that it had half baked directions, which lasted
a whole 6 (yes six) pages. Obviously I was on my own. When I did have a
question I called the "tech support line" Believe it or not the guy on
the other end was talking from a cel phone! When I had more problems
with the COM port on my laptop I called again, and again and again 3
times to be exact with no reply. I feel taken. Has anyone had similiar
situations with "Scum"-star like this? I'm moving to Scancat....

I'm considering buying a Uniden BCT-7. Have heard that it has many of
the same features of the BCT-10, minus the mobile extender alert (which
I don't need) but with the added features of user-programmable channels,
as well as CB freqs. Anyone heard anything pro or con re: BCT-7?
Thanx in advance.

I am looking at a Pro-51 scanner from Radio Shack as my first scanner

Toys R US in MD and VA use the following:
The UHF models operate on the following frequencies:
Base Unit Hand Unit
457.5375 469.6625
457.5875 468.7625
These appear to be slim black phones that look like Cell Phones
with small UHF type antenna.
The VHF-low/VHF-hi models opeate on the following frequencies:
Base Headset
30.8400 154.5700
33.1600 154.5150
These appear to be the same type of headsets that are used by
various Fast Food chains for their drive-thru.

Yup. Wait until you see an ad on the net or elsewhere for
a PRO2006 unit. The prices have gone up due to the fact that
they are no longer sold but thery are real good units.

Radio Shack(which has its scanners made by GRE of Japan and Uniden)
are very nice. I tell most people that they do tend to be overpriced
at their normal retail price. You are better off to wait for a sale
or do mail-order to get big discounts on them.
I currently own a Pro-26, 34, 43, 51, 60, 2006 and 2042 and am
happy with them all. The 26 and 51 are made by Uniden while the others
are made by GRE(I think). The Pro-34, which I bought back in '89 is
still ticking along...although VERY SLOWLY by today's scanner speeds.
The Pro-60 is the successor to the infamous Pro-43 and is on sale for
a bargain price(IMHO) of $250. It is a nice triple conversion receiver
with wide frequency coverage.
The 2042 is the BC9000 competitor. The Pro-51 is also on sale for
$190 and is practically identical to the BC220/230. The Pro-26 is also
on sale I believe($369?) and is the BC3000 equivalent.

I'm looking to purchase a new scanner and can get the AOR 2700 for $
398.00 Canadian ( approx $250 US funds).
This scanner has full coverage but am wondering how it performs in the
real world and if I would be better off buying a Pro26 etc and doing a
mod. for cell.

The V-Link phones as they are called are a very interesting form of
"kiddie talkie". I suspect these could be intended to compete directly
with UHF FRS radios. We got one the other day and played with it quite a
bit. Yes, 916.875 MHz is their calling/standby freq. They also have 15
other channels on freqs all the way down to 903.48 Mhz that they use on
an as needed basis for "private" links and depending on other
users/interference on the other CHs. They use good ol analog Wide FM (25
KHz deviation) for voice transmission. CTCSS/DCS is not used for
selective(private) calling. Instead, they have a high speed digital ANI
code burst that is sent at the beginning of an initaial transmission
and anytime the CH remanins inactive for 10 seconds or so. The ANI
data burst is apparently how the units instruct others as to what freq
to switch to for private conversations.Hardly all too private
though...One cute feature they have is digital voice storage, to save
messages when the user is not available. I wonder if these might become
popualr with certain drug gangs...
The transmit power level from the V-Link is only about .2 milliwatts, so
I can't say they the reported "3 blocks" range is not streching it a bit
far. Being a licensed Amateur, I have the option of removing the
hardwired antenna and replacing it with an SMA receptical to permit
attaching it to better antennas and or amplifiers

You can visit my bulletin board in The Netherlands. We carry lots of Dutch
frequency listings. The phone number from within Holland is 0321-381905. If
you're calling from abroad, you can use the number in my signoff.
On the hotlinkspage of my website there is also a link to a Dutch site with
frequencies. I can't remember the URL, but you can find it by clicking on the
URL in my signoff and then choosing Hotlinks.

not you, not me, not anyone outside the judicial system.
You may hold the opinion that the police routinely break the law, but go
out of your way to prove it (like with this scanner mob justic shit), and
you'll find yourself in a lot more than just trouble.

MONI - accesses the 10 monitor memories (that's a long story - look at a

Excuse me...It is bs. Cops bust people with other people
walking and running by and driving by and even laying in
the streets....it's called: "reality of the streets"....
As a photojournalist I have been in on many good busts.
some of them were really comical and others cops got shot
or run over....but that was why I was there: to get the
stills or video and that was my goal.
There is another angle to police and people who listen
to scanners. People with scanners help catch crooks who
the cops are looking for....think about this.
Cops don't really give much "weight" to a scanner. If they
don't want to be heard, they have ways not to. There are so
many now. And once the satellites get up and running for
this purpose, they could care less about scanners. They will
be obsolete.
Cops have an attitude when on a bust, no matter what. That is
"staying alive". If someone is present who is making their
job difficult it is life-threatening. It causes them to be
a bit "HONERY"....
I've been hassled upon trying to get my video or stills on
public streets many times. Just because I am there. On a
public street, sidewalk. Many people going by and they single
me out to be told to "get away from here". It's called WE TOLD
YOU TO GET AWAY FROM HERE.
Legally, they cannot do it. But they can always do it other ways.
Many ways.
In the end it is this: Best to stay away from any cop undercover
operation that has not been concluded. Once they are, they call
in the uniformed cops and then it's ok to GAWK.
Myself, I usually stay at least 1/4 mile away out of their sight
until I know the arrest is going down. This is known based on the
methodology they use when involved in bust's. Best this info and
skill be kept guiet amoungst us professional photographers who are
able to deal in this environment.

Blake...you are very obtuse. Very small minded. Lacking proper
mind-stem connection. I kept the subject based on what the
original post was about....there are other kinds too, but this
was the key thought.
Learn how to discern. Learn how to decipher intent. I speak
from direct experiences based on my being with scanners and a
goal to get the arrest on still or video.
It's you. You have no scope and really have limited access
to the real world of Cops and Street Fun. It is your lack
of imagination that created this angst for you here. It is
your being opaque that creates this "chasm" between what is
there and what you never will know about even when told about.
Create a space for your mind to grow. Your awareness is very
limited. Very stilted. Very lacking . Very juvenile.

I am a potential buyer of an AR8000 and have a few questions:
1. Do all models have a problem with audio clipping in the 800mhz range?
2. Is there a problem with excessive birdies?
3. Are there any other shortcomings that might make me not want to get one?
4. What other hand held scanners have a simmilar range of freq's

Well....just bought my second Pro-51 (first was stolen) and I can't
seem to mod it from the directions I had from before (printed in 94).
The date on this scanner is 7A6...and I can't seem to mod it at all.
I need help in this area, so if anyone knows, could you email me at
icculus@i1.net (or maybe post info here, seems many ppl have the same
question). Any info ASAP would be appretiated, because this will be
returned if it is "unmoddable". Thanks for your time ;)

I have a Bearcat 220XLT with extra battery pack (but not the external

the unit). Unit has original packing, manual, like new condition with all

Basically, I've got too many scanners and trying to clear some out.
Asking $170 + s/h. Please e-mail if interested.

Just got my 8000 last week. Here's my thoughts so far;
Item #1
The audio clipping seems to be related to signal strenght. When using
the 8000 w/ a mag mount & 10' of cheap coax, there's almost no clipping.
When I put on a good whip it clips.
Item #2
I don't think their birdies per say. The AOR 8000 seems so sensitive
that it picks up weak signals as "birdies". When driving approx. 1/2
mile from the local mall I get a couple of birdies in the 150 MHz range.
If I drive to the parking lot it receives these mall freqs. as it
should, if I drive farther away, these "birdies" go away.
Item #3
The user interface is not as easy to master as RS or Uniden stuff :-).
Don't buy the 8000 for MW (AM)listening. Strong SW stations are OK,
makes it easy to listen to the BBC in the car!
Item #4
I looked at the Radio Shack Pro 26 & the Uniden 3000 but thought both
where short of features & frequency range compared to the 8000.

Yes, it does, but it is still not that simple. The Percon has poor
search/retrieval capabilities and you cannot simply export an entire state
in one shot (you have to do it county by county). That may not be a
problem if you live in say, Rhode Island! But if you want to extract freqs
from a big state or a couple or a few states, then what you have to do is
copy the entire CD to your hard drive, then use Access to extract the
states that you want. It takes forever to do this but it was the only way
that I could find to get all of the options that I wanted. Once you have
the states that you want, you can delete everything else to free up the HD
space. Fortunately, it gets faster and faster as you refine your searches
so that once you have everything set up, it's a snap to do stuff like get
freqs of police in specific towns, and do other sorts of searches that the
Percon disk can never hope to touch.
You have to think of the Percon disk as an electronic book of freqs, not
as a database product. I would recommend to anyone contemplating getting
this CD to expect to have to transfer it into a real RDBMS.

Jamie: Two years ago I had to give a presentation in upstate New York
and I FedExed slides to our office up there. When the package didn't
show up the day before the presentation, called FedEx and found the
slides got misrouted to someplace in New England. FEDEX RETRIEVED THE
PACKAGE, QUICKLY PUT IT ON A COMMERCIAL FLIGHT TO WESTCHESTER, HAD A
COURIER PICK IT UP, DRIVE STRAIGHT TO THE OFFICE AND DELIVER IT. With
time to spare, too.
Now THAT'S service!
Have also found that they will make multiple attempts in one day to
deliver a package. I have also found that UPS couldn't care less and is
hidebound by "rules". FedEx people are given a lot of leeway to be
creative to "get the mail through." Believe me: I will pay the premium
for FedEx!! It's worth it!

Get the PRO-26!!! THe 2700 looks great on paper but it's miserable. It
has birdies galore and is useless for searching. It's also not very
sensitive. If you get the 26 and think you really want the 2700, get a
hold of me I will GLADLY trade you;-)

I think most of us would recommend that you stay away from the 2700.
Your money would be better spent on a Pro-26 or BC3000. If you want
cell coverage, you'll have to buy it that way since these can't be
moded to receive.

I suppose it has much to do with your area and the number of users. I
like to scan cell calls just to hear all the various types of human
pursuits. Business, romance, anger, political planning, etc.
But the main use I have for scanning cell occurs when the weather gets
bad here in Minnesota. A half hour of scanning while having my
morning coffee, listening to police, plow trucks, amatuer band and
cell will give me an exact picture of conditions and areas to avoid
with far more precision than anything the local weather report can
match.

Johnny,
The major players these days are Radio Shack and Uniden. As for
Radio Shack, their scanners are made by Uniden and GRE(Japan). There
are also scanners made by AOR, Icom and Yupiteru but these are quite
expensive.
Today's scanners can not be easily modified to pick up cellular
frequencies as per US regulations. This leaves you with three options :
1) Forget about cellular
2) Buy a used scanner that can or has been moded to receive cellular
3) Buy from an overseas or import dealer that sells these radios
without the cell blockage(expect to pay more than the equivalent
US model for this "premium" scanner). Popular models here include
the Pro-26, UBC3000XLT and UBC9000XLT
Strong signals,

Eric,
The Pro-51 is a fine scanner and is functionally equivalent to
the Uniden BC220XLT/BC230XLT radios which are very popular. The
major difference being that the 51 uses AA batteries while the
220/230 use a Ni-Cad.
Normally, the Pro-51 is way overpriced(IMHO) at $300. Compare
this to the 220 which can be had in the low $200s and you see
why since these radios are practically identical.
But the Pro-51 is currently on sale for $190, so now is the
time to buy if you're really interested.
Strong signals,
Rich Wells

The date code of 7A6(July of '96) means that is unmodifiable. So
you can forget it if the date code is later than, if memory serves
me right, 5A4(May of '94)?

Have a mint BC-200 (cell-mod done) with leather case, charger,
antenna, manual, original sales ticket, & box w/packing. I would
like to trade this for a likewise mint radio shack Pro-43 handheld
scanner. The Pro-43 would have to be date code 2A4 OR EARLIER. I may
consider trading the BC-200 for a different scanner than the Pro-43,
provided that it meet the criteria of 200 channel; cell modifiable;
and, of course, be in mint condition. If you are interested, e-mail me
at radioman@localnet.com with complete details of what you have to offer.

Oh, I don't know. I use http://www.ups.com to track all my UPS shipments
and I have never used them when I wasn't given a tracking number.
I agree that trying to change the normal flow of a package can be
difficult, but keeping track of them is possible.

Yeah, I completely forgot about that.
Perhaps an alternative to copying the entire CD to the hard drive would be
to create an Access table with the same structure as the Percon CD. You
may choose to only include certain columns (fields) of data from the
original database table. Then establish a link to the Percon CD table by
selecting "Get External Data... / Link Tables..." from the File menu.
Then go into query design view and create an Access "Append Query" (select
"Append..." from the "Query" menu) to bring in the records you want. Run
the query and after it's done, kill the link to the external table.
A tip: Don't create any indexes on the your Access table until *after* the
records have been added to the table. This will save a considerable
amount of time.

I recently found my old Pro-42 scanner laying around the house.
I was wondering if there are any modifications that can be done to this
scanner.
Please post to the group - my e-mail address will be changing Dec. 1

Actually, this is not true. Most departments have no problem with
scanners, even to the point of giving away frequency lists for people
to use, 10 codes, etc.
The problem comes in, when misuse occurs, such as you are talking
about.

Yes there is. It's at - http://www.winradio.net.au/
The price? Over $600.

I've had problems with my just about all my tape recorders when I use
a chrome, or metal tape. It seems that when the tape head overwrites
new audio, the old audio is still faintly present. I would guess that
the erase head isn't strong enough for metal/chrome tapes, but it also
makes me wonder if the read/write head isn't strong enough to change
the magnetic domains properly on the tape.
I keep my heads cleaned, demagnetized, and only use NORMAL bias
tapes. Once in a while I will bulk erase a tape using a bulk eraser
that plugs into the wall. Works fine!
BTW, I also have modified my tape recorders to record/playback as slow
as possible.

Why in the FUCK would the guy with the scanner approach the decoy? It
certainly wasn't because he wanted to find out what would happen, now,
is it? I mean, if he'd been sitting there listening to this for any
length of time, he knew exactly what would happen. So, I ask again,
why would he approach her? I don't want to hear SHIT about entrapment,
I want to know WHY DID HE APPROACH HER?? Well, the answer seems pretty
simple, and correct me if I'm wrong. He wanted to interfere. It makes
no difference whether or not what the cops did was illegal (borderline
at best--keep in mind this is all hearsay...)---his place is
definitely NOT to be the one who decides about such things. That's all
there is to it. He certainly wasn't going to get laid. He knew what
the conversation would be, he'd apparently heard it several times
already. He just felt that, in his meager, meaningless existance, he
wanted a shot at something he could tell his friends about, and play
the big-shot, his own personal 15 minute shot at stardom. Everyone
wants to be the one that told off the cops, and left them standing
there in awe of his smoothness, with their dicks in their hands.
Now, it could be considered that this entire thing is made up. One,
why would the guy approach the decoy? Two, why would the cops ask him
what he was talking to her about? They already knew that no
proposition was made, why would they waste their time? Three, why
would the monitoring cop in the Bronco send his pals after him, since
the decoy had been made? Hell, not every man on the face of the planet
wants to buy a whore just because he has the opportunity--this
couldn't have possibly been her first turndown. Four, the listener
must be a total dumbshit. He waves the scanner in the cops face. He's
lucky he didn't get arrested for attempting to interfere, which
carries a stiffer penalty than propositioning a whore, and would be a
cinch to prove in this case, given the circumstances and the possesion
of a scanner, legal or not. And this is, pretty much, at first glance,
what he was attempting to do.
Big fun can land you in the can. Cops have very little sense of humor
about these things.

Well been waiting for the reviews to come in.
A couple fast thing on the PL/DPL it has it but you can NOT search for a
tone or tune tru to find the right tone.
You either MUST know the tone the freq needs or sit there and enter the
freq then each tone till you hit the right one.
Oh well atleast it has DPL/PL.
Very sensitive in fact for ME with stock Rubber duck ant I get too much
overload inthe 800 MHz band.
I am going to try diferent ant.
Oh in search mode when you are searching between two freq and want to lock
out up too 100 freq you can do this.
Only starnge thing they did you can't easliy UNLOCK them back,you must re
enter atleast ONE of the search limits this starts it all over.
Any questions on thei brand just email or post.

Anyone familiar with the Hamden, CT area police signal codes? (i.e.

I can usually get an idea of what they are once they elaborate a
little, but if anyone in the area has compiled a list I'd be

I've done this and it works - Access can easily link to one of the
Percon tables since they're in Foxpro (or dBase) format. I created a
'make table' query that grabbed the fields that I wanted and filtered
out the records that I wanted. This query took quite a while to run, but
once it was finished, I had an Access table that I could query very
quickly. You don't need to create the Access table first - the query
does it for you.

Sure. But one would need the service manual to tell for sure. I don't have
one for the 2025, but if you had one, you might be able to find it. Lend me
a copy of the service manual and I'll tell you for sure.

Unless your tape recorder has a switch to specifically use metal
tapes, DO NOT use them. Use regular normal bias tapes. Most tape
recorders we would use for the scanning hobby are designed to use
normal bias tapes.

Ken,
Yes, you can hear yourself, or friends order... but the big
thing
for me, is to listen for the off color remarks that the staff at the
drive thru make. One evening, while listening to a drive thru waiting
to
place my order, a friend of mine and I heard the clerks discussing
between themselves whether black or white women had better breasts. You
name it, you will hear it at the drive thru. The real fun comes when
you
freak out one of the clerks by commenting on something they say about
the
previous customer... they start worrying that they might have said
something that went out over the intercom to the customer... this has a
chilling effect on the clerks. There is also what others have posted,
the enjoyment of tracking down the frequencies. I have heard the clerks
make comments about the staff at the fast food store as well... so, it
is
very interesting. Just my $0.02...

Ken,
Most Fast Food chains use their headsets for internal comms when
a customer places a special order. This accomplished via different
PL tones. Generally if the order taker is a teenager, they will
make comments about the person placing the order before they drive
up to the second window to pick up the order. You can also have
alot of fun sometimes, by responding to any internal comms that may
take place while you're waiting at the drive-up speaker. They think
they pushed the wrong button, and will wonder what went out over the
speaker.

I have a complete list of freqs for the Delaware area. As anyone
knows, Delaware is really hard to get the correct freqs for. The media
has always published the freqs that are "standard". I have some

Toys R Us has a floor walker that has a phone that looks like one of
those headsets that McDonalds uses. The floor walker runs around the
store to tell callers if certain products are in stock when they call.
These headsets are not "phones" but rather private uhf radios that hook
into the stores phone system. The headset are also used to talk to
other emplooyees back in the stock room and make pages over the stores
intercom system.
Anyway to answer your question about why?
The same reason mountain climbers climb mountains
Because they are there.

For some I think it's just the challenge of finding the frequency. I
hunted down quite a few frequencies at my Univ. that were very boring but
I just wanted to ID every signal out there. Once I found out, I logged it
and haven't listened to it since. Who knows when it could come in handy.
