Want to buy...

A first handheld scanner for myself. Cheap. Budget around USD$50. If
you think you have something that'd fit my bill, email me. Thanks.

     The Committee to Protect Journalists received the following press
     release from Belgrade's Radio B92 today. Their letter to Serbian
     communications authorities provides answers to queries we and other
     organizations have sent to the station concering the exact status of
     B92's license.  In particular, it notes that "over the years, B92
     submitted several requests for a frequency which were never granted."
     For more information, visit B92's website at www.opennet.org or
     contact Cathy Fitzpatrick at CPJ, 212-465-1004, ext. 101.

     PRESS RELEASE FROM B92 in Belgrade, Wednesday, 4 December 1996: 13.00

     Today Radio B92 send a reply to the Ministry of Transport and
     Communications and a letter to the director of RTS, stating the
     following:

     We do not have a license. We also do not own the transmitter which is
     broadcasting our signal. The owner of the transmitter which
     broadcasted our signal is the RTS. RTS also owns the frequency. For
     the past seven years RTS has broadcasted our programme.
     B92 had an agreement with RTS for broadcasting its programme on an
     license for an experimental period of six months, which was given to
     us in 1990. According to this contract, the contract period would
     expire on 21 december 1990. It was understood that after this
     experimental period the agreement would be formalized. This never
     happened. Over the years B92 submitted several requests for a
     frequency, which were never granted. We understood that by
     broadcasting our programme for seven years now RTS actually granted us
     permission to broadcast. So according to us there is no question of an
     illegal practice given the fact that we do not even own the
     transmitter that broadcasted our signal. In our letter we ask RTS why
     our signal was turned off, without any prior notification. We point
     out that especially now this might cause disturbance.
     We propose to reach an agreement immediately. And to put B92 back on
     the air.

Croatian Police Ordered To Question Editor And To
Suppress Information On Tudjman's Family Sudden And
Huge Wealth


CROATIAN POLICE QUESTION EDITOR ON TUDJMAN ARTICLE.

Croatian police questioned Vesna Jankovic, the editor of the
independent bi-weekly Arkzin, about an article giving foreign
 analysts' reports on assets acquired by Croatian President
Franjo Tudjman's family, Reuters reported on 29 November.
Jankovic said she believed the questioning was linked to an
earlier Tudjman announcement that he would clamp down
"on false prophets.. who preach human rights and media
freedom." A public prosecutor launched the investigation
 under a libel law protecting the country's top five officials,
the same one under which the editor and a journalist from
the weekly Feral Tribune were tried and eventually acquitted.

CROATIAN RAIL WORKERS VOW TO CONTINUE STRIKE.

Some 11,000 workers of the Croatian state railways (HZ)
vowed on 2 December to continue a general strike that
began on 28 November, Slobodna Dalmacija reported. The
strike halted nearly 80% of services. Workers are
demanding higher wages and better working conditions.
 International services and some cargo trains continued
to operate. Strikers insist that a collective accord on
substantial pay raises be concluded, and that arrears be
 paid. The minimum salary for a railway employee is
about 1,890 kunas ($380). The Croatian HDZ government
says the demands have no basis. But Zlatko Pavletic, the
 railway union leader, said HZ has internal reserves to
increase workers' wages. The HZ said it was suffering
daily losses of some 1.6 million kunas ($300,000)
because of the strike.

And an ICE, a good disassembler, a logic analyzer with a *deep* FIFO,
an EPROM burner and a PLA programmer, etc. Just be sure to keep that
soldering *gun* well away from the unit. There's nothing inside that
can tolerate that kind of abuse.

You *can* reverse engineer the unit if it isn't too badly fried,
but it'll be a lot easier to do it now while it is working rather
than waiting for a custom ASIC or EPROM to fail. Of course if AEA
releases source, you won't need any of that, other than the burner
and PLA programmer.

Well, there are two different models of the 2026, the newer ones have a backup

battery in them. The older ones had two power wires, one of which actually pow
ered
the scanner, and the other had to be hooked up to a constant source of 12 VDC
power.
(This was the memory retention power lead). If you hooked up a 9 - volt batter
y to
the memory retention lead, you could probably turn the thing off for a year an
d never
lose a thing. However, the problem comes when you want to power the scanner up
. Best
thing to do in the house is to hook both power leads up to a 12 volt power sup
ply and
leave the supply on all the time.

As far as I can see, the two are the same as far as receiving, intermod
rejection, etc.

The 2042 has more advanced search & auto store capabilities.  I think
unprogrammed ("000.0000") frequencies are automatically locked out on
the 2042.  This saves alot of manual locking out of frequencies!

Ref: 2035 vs 2042

Having just bought the 2035 on sale..I did investigate the basic
differences between the two..the only difference is the ability of
the 2042 to prevent duplicate frequencies being stored  in the
auto search mode. The 2035 would duplicate a frequency
if it was active on a scan. Therefore, you would have the
same frequency stored in a bank many times!

Other than that, they are basically the same unit..sensitivity,
appearance, etc. With the drastic discounts on the 2035
I bought it...I am very pleased...the search and store
glitch on the 2035 is not an issue with me.

Leonard...

Yes and no.  It is much the same thing as putting a "Y" on the
end of a garden hose.  Half goes one way and half goes the
other way.  You can't shut one side off to get 100% to the
other side, though, like you can with a garden hose.  Under
ideal conditions of proper matching, you get about 45% of the
signal from the antenna to each scanner.  The balance of 10%
is a loss in the splitter.

> Also what is the best way to hook scanners to one antenna.

Use a device designed for that purpose called a splitter.  The
kind used to split TV signals will do fine for scanners, and
they're cheap.

You can either use RG-6 satellite cable with F connectors, or
try to take apart the splitter and replace the F jacks with
BNC jacks.

I wrote a prototype scanner recorder utility that runs in Win95 and
WinNT. It only records, but it records as if a virtual VOX unit were
added to a tape recorder. Only records when there's sound. Does not
record silence.

I you want to download a free copy of this recorder-only product
prototype, free free to get it at the following URL:

This software is absolutely free  with no strings attached. You are
free to distribute the software as long as the true originator of this
software is preserved.

http://www.davee.com/adar.html

If anyone is interested in the source code, I will provide a copy upon
request, provided it is not to be used for commercial reasons.

FYI, such s/w (VOX) is available with some soundcards. But good luck
anyway.
Just my 0.02$.

I just uploaded a fixed version of the program to allow you to adjust
the squelch threshold. You need to delete the ADAR.INI file from your
windows (or %windir%) directory, then start the program up and it will
set up the INI to look like this:
-------------------------
[INIT]
SampleRate=3D8000
ScrollTime=3D80
Squelch=3D10
--------------------------
If you don't want to delete the .INI file, just add the Squelch
statement to it like the sample above shows.
Oh....I also fixed that stupid purple squelch indicator. It's now
black when unsquelched and red when squelched...I think.

I just updated ADAR in order to solve some installation problems and
add a few nice touches.

You should download the updated version. Some people have not been
able to get it installed and working due to the need to edit the
shortcut properties page. That requirement has been removed. You
should be able to simply download the file and double-click the icon
and that;s it.

There is now a squelch control.

If you have any problems with the new version, the first thing to do
is locate the ADAR.INI file (it's in your Windows directory), and
delete the file, then quit and restart the recorder program.

Enjoy,
Davey,

This one sounds pretty serious. I haven't seen this happen yet.

Could you give me some info? In particular:

        How much free disk space,
        How much memory,
        Cpu type/speed
        Windows 95 or NT

        Do you have any other programs running from the Start Up folder or
special device drivers present.

        Also, was this the latest download with the squelch update and if
so, was the squelch setting allowing the recorder to stay paused
during that whole recording period?

Also, could you see the clocks at all and what were the times on the 2
bottom clocks?

When you found the computer acting real slow, did it allow you to
issue any commands at all or start any programs?

Was the hard disk in use at all, light blinking?

If you could find out as much of this list as you can because it's all
I have to go by.

Thanks
Davey,

Hi All,

Okay, I give....How do you program the search limits on an
ancient Realistic Pro-2001??

Of course, it is a "hand-me-down", and I do not have "TFM" to
"R". The service manual does not include programming info.

Any help appreciated!!!

BTW: Combined with a 800MHz converter, this unit makes a good
dedicated trunked system scanner.

Cheers,
Paul Grohe

I have two scanners I'd like to add more channels to, if possible up to
1,000 channels.  They are an old Realistic Pro-2020, and a newer Pro-2037.

Are there any mods for these?  Is it even tehnologically possible to add
more channels?

Perhaps I neglected to mention in my last post (below) that this is a free
service.

I've decided to dedicate part of my Web space for those of you who want to
post items for sale, wanted items, etc....  Will only accept and post
messages from individuals looking to get rid of thier stuff--no commercial
posts, please.

The reason is so that maybe we can curb the number of fs/trade posts to the
newsgroups; and to keep down the occasional flames and un-needed posts to
the group.  If the idea is a success, than I'll keep it.  We'll see how it
goes.

Read more about it at http://members.aol.com/slewis3092/freq/trade.htm and
let me know of any suggestions or criticisms.

I just got a base scanner the other day, and I'm thinking about getting
a stronger antenna for it.  I won't be able to mount it on my roof,
though.  Any suggestions as to what kind to get?  Would Radio Shack
have what I'm looking for?

For quite a while I used a simple wide band antenna in my attic.  This
worked
reasonably well until I installed a metal roof.  I now use a discone on a
20ft pole
outside.

Hello-

I am looking to trade a center-loaded magnet-mount low SWR car
antenna(RS cat. no. 21-994, 9.5 ft. cable, 26.5" overall) for a
scanner antenna, either mobile or not.

I am looking for a simple, low cost, desk top scanner for my elderly father.
 Don't need 800 MHz.  I just received a Radio Shack sale catalog and the
PRO-2044 is on sale for $119.  Seems like a very good price for a basic 80
channel scanner.  This unit is attractive because it is easy to use and has
a fairly large display and push buttons.  You also don't have to worry about
changing batteries.  Has anyone had any experiences with this unit?

Thanks in advance, Dave Hinch  KE6MYC

I am looking for an inexpensive, simple to use scanner for my elderly
father.  800 MHz. is not required.  I also want a desk top unit with a
fairly large display and easy to read panel and buttons.  Also, AC
operated so that changing/charging batteries is not an issue.

I have recently seen the Radio Shack sale flyer which has the relatively
new PRO-2044 for $119.  This seems to be a very reasonable price for this
basic 80 channel unit.  Has anyone had any experience with it?

Thanks in advance, Dave Hinch KE6MYC

Anyone out there have this unit, advertised in Grove
for around $90. Supposedly shifts 800 Mhz 'blocked'
freqs down 400 Mhz so they can be listened to. Seems
this is the way to go for full 800 Mhz capabilty, if
you have a inexpensive scanner and don't want to spend
alot of $$ for a computer setup or order an expensive
unit from overseas.

Anyway, I'm interested in the performance of this unit.
Email any replies, please.
Thanks

I have one of these attached to a Radio Shack Pro-2037.  Works perfectly.
You can switch it in and out to receive cellular or not.  I have 80 channels
programmed with cellular and the remaining 120 channels with regular Public
Service type stuff.

I'd recommend Grove's converter to anyone...

I have one that I got for $40 at a pawn shop and I really like it.
Mine is the little one that goes inline between an handheld scanner and
its antenna.  I A-B tested it against my other 800 MHz scanner, and it
converts exactly 400 MHz below the proper frequency, unlike my Ramsey
converter.

It also has very good sensitivity and goes through batteries very
slowly.

Highly recommended!!

I have heard that the BC230XLT can be made to recieve cellular signals without

modification, but I'm not sure exactly how its done.  I talked to one dealer,
who claimed it could be done using the key pad..  Does anyone have any info
about this????

frequencies in decending order until a link is established:

  916.8750   Calling Channel 1 (Main/Home Frequency)
  915.8625   Calling Channel 2
  915.0000   Calling Channel 3
  914.0875   Calling Channel 4

I was also thinking about getting one -
why should we stay away from it??
It looks good on paper -

I was going to get a sportcat, but for an additional $50 I get
a lot more features and continuous coverage
(the military freqs for airshows are a must...)

What makes the models you mentioned any better?

Thanks,

Well, feature wise it smokes the Sportcat. The problem is it has birdies
galor so searching for freqs is all but impossible. The sensitivity is
none too good either. My BC200 routinely smoked it in UHF, by a long
shot. The BC200 would stop on a UHF freq and I had to tune the 2700 to
the same freq and even then the signal barely registered. It's also very
susceptible to any source if interference. If it's anywhere near your
computer, it will have fits. Yes it has MilAir but basically you must
already have the freq. Audio is another problem The speaker is very weak.
Using it in the car is a challenge.

> What makes the models

I have not used a BC3000 or a PRO-26 but from everything I've read, both
are really good. I think I'd go with the BC3000 because of the TwinTurbo
(100CPS!) and I really liked my BC200. The BC200 came out around 1989 and
for that time frame it was really a nice machine. It's loud, pretty
sensitive, lots of channels, easy to use, etc. The BC3000 has got to be
light years ahead of the 200. MilAir is there as well. I don't think I
have ever heard a bad comment about the BC3000 (price maybe). The 2700
looks great and it's features make you drool but if you get one I think
you will be very disappointed. I know I was. The one good thing is that
the price is now around $225 which isn't bad I guess. Just remember, you
will be getting a lot of features but a miserable receiver. The one
bright spot is 800MHz, it's pretty good up there. Tunable by 6.25KHz
steps as well. My BC200 and I'm sure the Sportcat suffer badly in the
800MHz area.

I have to second Brian's remarks.  For scanning, I hate it.  But I
love'd the price, and if you put in the frequencies, it does a great
job.

Could someone please tell me how to program a tone for a frequency that I
have set in one of my banks.  I am getting information that is not what is
said it is suppose to be and I think it is because the tone is not set at
all and I can understand/find how to do it.

Thanks

My On/Off/Volume knob came off due to it being one of the "soft" original
knobs.  The problem with these is that there is no reinforcement for the
rubber to hold on to the flat part of the shaft (my Yaesu FT530, now has
a metal band within the knob to help).

Spoke to EEB and apparently new, harder material
knobs have come out, but they say, once put on, trying to take them off
will destroy them  .My other option is to go for set screw commercial knobs (6

mm shaft).

What do people think of the new harder plastic knobs?

Thanks,

I got the new harder knobs from EEB and I'm happy with them. For the
price I got a couple of sets. Much better than the older ones.
        Just my opinion.

Hi, I ran into the same problem with my AR8000. A really good solution
that I came up with is to get a pair of knobs from Icom, that are
intended as the volume/sq knobs on the IC-R100. These match the
size/style of the control shafts used on the 8k, and provide  the
correct alignmnet of the pointer arrows on the top. While the R100 knobs
look smooth, they have very fine grooves in them for an easy grip. While
they have just a slightly higher profile, I feel this makes them easier
to grip.As opposed to the original shorter knobs.

 Given the low torque requiredto rotate it,  I left the original knob on
the 8k's rotary funtion switch. The differences between these knobs also
helps make the controls easier to identify when reaching for them "in
the blind". The IC-R100 knobs are available from Icom Parts for only
about 1.50 each.73s DE WA1YKL

An article was written about this very problem in US

the ICOM R-100 scanner. I tried them on my 8K and it works great.
They're inexpensive too. (1.25 ea.)
Good luck.

Could someone please post a description of how the bandscope works on
the 8000.  Is it comparable to the Yupiteru 9000 system where activity
is shown on either side of a center frequency and then you can tune the
VFO to that activity and hit enter and now you have a new center freq or
does the bandscope only show activity on frequencies that have already
been entered into one of the 1000 channels.

Thanks for help.

Ross,
   The 8000 works as you describe the 9000....by displaying activity
on three or four channels either side of the center frequency. I believe
it updates them every 5 seconds.

Strong signals,

Just received the AR5000 about a week ago and have pretty much figured
most of it out.  I need info on the serial interface.  I received NO
documentation what so ever on the serial interface and would like to
start working with it.  The draft refers to a "COMPUTER CONTROL
supplement" but did not receive that.  Hopefully, I won't have to wait
until the release version of the operators manual comes out.

1: the ar8000 does have a clipping problem in the cellular range it is not
unbearable. the simple way to deal with is it to turn the squelch down
when you find an interesting conversation at least that is what I heard..

2: all scanners have birdies  the ar 8000 does have a bridie lockout
feature which allows you to lock out 1000 frequencies

2:the ar 8000 is totally unique it is the only radio that does what it
does. the worst shoortcomming is the $600.00 +/- price tag.

3: the only other radio with similar range is the ypiteru line of radios
7100 7200 and the new 9000 the are fine radios but nhone of them have a
computer interface.
Have fun

That is *not* clipping.  That is *normal* squelch operation.  It kicks
in and out when the signal drops a bit or picket fences [ flutters ] as
the source moves.  It happens outside the cell band too.

Turning down the squelch does solve the problem, but it is *not* a
clipping problem with the AOR.  Any scanner does this.

Yes it is a function of the movement of the transmitting source and
the wavelength of the transmitted signal:-) It can also be a function
of the the receiver moving:-)

As the mobile phone or transmitter moves, it moves in and out of the
wavelength. It affects the weaker signals which can sound quite
strong, and then fade to nothing. The quicker the source is moving the
faster the flutter. I think it is something called the Frenzel effect
but I can't remember the exact name. The flutter is because the origin
of the transmission is moving, not the cell site:-)

Bob.

It might well be clipping. The cellular signals are wider bandwidth than
regular coms and if you are listening on a scanner designed for 5KHz
deviation, and the base signal exceeds this on voice peaks, the squelch
will close on each voice peak. This will sound like clipping.

Interesting.

I hooked my AR8000 up to a new 6db gain colinear vertical with a (home
made) ground plane yesterday.  I conducted a quick test to see how it would
perform on the cellular bands (I don't normally listen to them, even though
doing so is legal here).

Plenty of signal.  No clipping.  Great audio.  All those alleged problems
with the AR8000 wern't there.  Perhaps there's a lesson there somewhere?

Have you never had this happen at home while listening to FM radio ?
Unless you house is moving, this is the same pheonomena.  Multi path.
Reflected signals taking differnent paths/times from transmitter to receiver.
The two [ or more ] received signals interfere resulting invarying signal
strength, like waves on a pond.  The fact that it is FM [ Frequency
Modulation ] can enhance this effect.

That's what the monitor <moni> button is for on the side.  Press

I have encountered an error situation I can not seem to get out of.
When I hit scan button second time I get the "not found" message.
Further , I can not get into the Func Scan submenus..
Does anyone know how I got into this and how do I get out of??
ps.  There are frequencies on the various banks and I can get to them
manually.


Thanks..

I have encountered this exact problem several times and the only way I
found was to do a power on clear (Func-Clear while powering on).

So far what I've found is that the problem occurs intermitantly while
doing a bank-link scan, pres func-scan to modify the linking and scan
again to begin scanning, at that point I get the not found error and am
stuck in 2VFO mode.

I slowed down the timers for Lock Detect and Squelch lock, with some
better results, but the problem still occured.  As near as I can figure,
after modifying the scan-link, the current channel pointer is jumping
into a channel number that has nothing configured and hence the no found
error.  Since it's in error, the radio will not accept any commands that
would subsiquently change the current channel pointer.

I've asked about this problem on the AR8000 mailing list and got nary a
response with any results other than others thinking my eeprom was bad,
but this is the only problem I encounter so how could the eeprom be
bad?

Anyway, if anyone else has comments about this problem I'm of interest
also.

Here are the 3 antennas that have solved my apartment broblems:

A) the MFJ-202 Active antenna covering 0.3 Mhz to 200 Mhz
 with my AR900 very good
for 46 to 50 Mhz re: portable phones and baby monitors.
unit as to be OFF for 800 Mhz but still good result.

B) the DIAMOND Super Wide band antenna with build-in RF Hydrid IC Amplifier
Model D-707 covering  500Khz  to  1500 Mhz.
Operates on 12 volts dc via a AC house adapter,mounted indoor

My scanner AR 1500 came alive with this antenna including the SW band it
outperform my Sony ICF-SW100 used with the original active Sony antenna AN-1.
also mounted indoor.

Mobile models also available are the D-505 no coax and /or D-505C with coax
other base unit model D-707C with 15m of coax.

C)Also a very good indoor was the Radio Shack mobile antenna for scanner also
mounted indoor.

Hope to have been of some assistance.

Has any one installed a narrow am filter on their AR8000?

If so, where did you get it and was it any good.

I have seen an advertisement in "short wave mag." for a DX version of
the 8K and other ads for this narrow am filter add on.

Thankyou in advance,

Does anyone has experience using AR2700? Is that good? or any other
scanners suggest to me?

I have just gotten an ar8000 and am having a great time.  I have tried
to get cell calls but am getting very little.  How do I go about
setting up to search this part of the spectrum (step size, etc).

Any other hints would be appreciated also.

Thanks

Hi, for best Cell band scanning, select  Search range starting at 869.04
and stopping at 893.970 MHz. Use 30 KHz frequecny steps. This covers the
range of channels used by  Cellualr base stations,(Cell sites, Towers,
ect).Freqs in the 870.39 - 880.62 Mhz window, will only have a buzzing
sound on them. These are digital control data channels. Use the Pass(
frwq lock out) button to delete these from being searched.

  Nearby mobile units can be scanned by Searching 824.04 to 8484.970 MHz
,again in 30 KHz steps.

You might also find it useful to select the Timed Search mode, which
will let the radio stay on an active freq for a preset amount of time,
then resume searching. Have fun

Do you have a unblocked AR8000?  You can get software that will unblock
the cell band or you can just go to a good scanner store and they can do
it for you usually for anywhere from $40-$50.  In the mean time try
searching 1419.9-1442.9 at 30KHz steps which you select by pressing
<FUNC> and then <2>.  Reception is just about as good at 1400MHz as it
is on the real thing.  Good luck!

The AR8000 itself will not do CTCSS decoding, however Optoelectronics
and a couple other manufactures have decoders you could plut in and
interface to a PC based software control.

check out www.optoelectronics.com

in fact, why not a free squelch mod from AOR? (note: this is not just a

Good hypothesis, but I don't agree.  If this were the case, it would
happen across the radio's receiption, not just in cell phone band as claimed.

It is more because the squelch is Signal strength operated instead of
carrier operated [ also sometimes called auto squelch ], meaning if you
increase the squelch, the so called 'clipping' increases or the signal is
not recieved [ heard ] at all.

You are absolutely correct.  It has nothing at all to do with Squelch
Hystorisisisssssss..  : - )

What it has to do with is that the IF filter for the FM Narrow mode on
the AR8000 is only 5 kHz wide while the typical Cellular and some other
NFM radios transmit at a 8kHz bandwith.  With a really strong singal,
this results in the clipping.

There is a fix for this which requires replacing the IF filter with a
slightly wider filter.  I've already performed this mod and all cliping
on NFM has almost complete gone away. (I used the 7.5 kHz filter so some
was to be expted.)

The following web pages has more info on the problem

Here is another web page with AR8000 info articles.

Troy,

        When you changed the filter in the 8000 did you knowtice any decrease
in receiption on the HF bands?

Quick question:

Would the AR8000 be a suitable component in a decent TEMPEST kit, or
would one be better of investing in a more expensive, less portable,
"designed for surveilance" model like the AR5000?


Thanks in advance,

Mike.

I'd like to replace the ducky which came with my handheld with something
better. I have a telescoping antenna which is great but not practical for
use in the field.

Is the Condor work the $30? Perhaps someone could point me to a FAQ site
or offer me some advice, alternatives?

Jer,
I have an A/C Antenna on my AOL2700 and it works great.
The freq's come in much clearer and seems to be more sensitive
pulling in weaker freq's.
I have had some stares in public; it looks sorta like an adult
toy when mounted to a small radio.. ;P  :-)
[enter your punch-line here]
Cheers,
PjD

Thanks for the information. Based on some suggestions received, I may go
with a ham vhf/uhf antenna. I have some concern about the size and
stiffness of the Condor.

(Whoops, there's that adult toy thing...)

Bob:

I remember reading a post or an article somewhere about how to convert a
baby monitor into a 49MHz repeater, I'm pretty sure it was one of
yours.  The idea was you could rebroadcast what your scanner was
listening to throughout your house.

I can't find the article in any of the archives, and don't remember what
else needed to be done besides replacing the microphone with a socket
for an earphone jack (seem to recall a resistor or two).

If it was yours, could you repost it?  Or does anyone else know where
it's archived?

Thanks

-Carl

I have a BC-100XLT, but the instructions I got with it are minimal. I
have several questions:

1) Is there a way to clear all of the channels from the memory?

2) I want to set some banks for airport frequencies, and others for
railroads. How do I keep the scanning to one bank at a time? (Now it
scans all 100 channels, including the empty ones.

3) It there a Web Site for Uniden where I can get more information on
this scanner?

Thanks.

Depress manual button
depress the number that corresponds to the bank(s) you want to turn
off (or on) you should see a line under the bank(s) that are active
then press scan

I can't remember which does what, but, if you press "manual", 2, and 9
simultaneously while you're turning the unit on this will either (a) erase
all frequencies (set to 000.000Mhz) or (b) load the scanner with the
factory test frequencies.  The other operation is to press these same keys,
except "scan" instead of "manual" while turning the unit on, and that will
do the other of the operations that "manual" did not.

I think there is another way to do this.  Switch the scanner OFF and then
HOLD down the 2,9,scan or the 2,9,manual keys and switch scanner ON.

This should clear all the memories. (Well it does on the TAndy pro 35
which is a copy of the uniden 100xlt)

Jim,
     To purge all channels hold down the 2, 9, and manual keys and power
up the unit. To select / de-select banks just push the numbers on the
key pad while in scan mode. You have 10 banks of ten channels each. Have
fun

  Didn't know that!  :)  Don't remember seeing it in the manual, either.
But there's always something they leave out on purpose.  At least, it's not
in mine.  It could be that they added that to later editions, though.  I
don't rule that out, either.

  Are there any other special function key-combinations that are publiched
for the BC-100XLT that are interesting?

Thanks,

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 provided that it
met the criteria of 200 channel, cell modifiable, be a realistic
brand, and of course be in mint condition cosmetically and operationaly.
If interested, e-mail me at [e-mail] with complete details
on what you have to offer.
Regards,
Ray Miller N2NJK

        A friend of mine owns the BC-200/205 and it is haveing power
problems.  It doesnt stay powered up for long and he has replaced the
battery 4 times with a new one from Uniden and 3 from Grove.  I hear that
there is some kinda regulator that after lots of use weakens and needs
more power to power up the unit but i am not sure this is what i actualy
heard.  Any info??

Or, where I might go to obtain the schematic. Uniden was little

Dan,

Could be.  I've noticed that NiCds frequently short when they fail.  A
shorted cell would increase the load of a three cell pack by about 33%.
Most wall wart power supplies are only well behaved under a certain load
(i.e. not enough load and the voltage goes up, to much, and it drops).

I did notice you said "Even with the charger plugged in i was getting a
lot of static".  If this is to say you had the static without the AC
adapter, then loading wasn't the problem.  Maybe it was a low battery
pack all along.

73,
Steve

I'm Confused???  You stated that you "only used for listening to cells"
using your BC220 XLT and no mods have been done...?  Did you listen to

who claimed it could be done using the key pad..  Does anyone have any info
about this????

Thanks

-- I Have a BC230XLT , Which I really like.  You can monitor Cellular
Phones without modification in the 896 - 916 Mhz.  It's not nearly all of
cellular calls, but there are a great many.  If you get any info oin mods
for this BC, Please post them or Email Me I really want them!

I have a Bearcat BC8500XLT and my problem is the aircraft band seems to be
picking up a lot of electronic noise. Whenever a signal comes in, I hear this
noise
(interference) in the background. I called Uniden and some lady said that it i
s
not the scanner. Yet I believe I saw in this newsgroup a long time ago someone
saying that that was a mod (new EPROM?) for the scanner that would reduce
the scanner's internal noise generation. Does anyone have this problem and is
there a fix? Thanks.

Congratulations.  Available for about $180 US at discount, the BC860XLT
is a decent value.

        >  Are there any undocumented features for it?

I don't recall if these are listed in the user manual, but
I published them in May 1995 Monitoring Times magazine, along
with a full review:


 .."If the BC860XLT is powered off, you can enable the following
 test sequences by pressing the three keys listed simultaneously
 while turning the scanner on:

 2 9 MANUAL - clears all 100 memory channels, search limits, resets
         priority channels to the first channel in each bank
 2 9 LOCKOUT - tests all LCD segments
 2 9 SCAN or 2 9 TURBO - loads test frequencies into channels 1 - 21
         and search limits ..."

As with most Bearcat scanners, you can press the "." key one or
more times during programming and the firmware will clear the
digits entered up until that point -- handy if you realize you
made a mistake while entering a frequency.

Reprints of articles from Monitoring Times are available
for $2.00 each plus a self-addressed stamped envelope from:

Just a quick followup to this post, when I tried the 2 9 LOCKOUT on my
BC220 XLT it did exactly what you said it would do, however one of the LCD
segments located on the top left hand side of the screen, just under the
word "bank" and above the "P" for priority, it said "DIRECT".  You know, I
have never seen "DIRECT" display in the 2 years that I've had this
scanner, anyone know what the "DIRECT" means?  Some kind of DIRECT
connection using the bnc antenna???  Hmmmmm...

Mine sucks I am sending it back to uniden so they can fix all the
problems.Alert only alerts when squelch is so low it dosn't squelch
static,Data signal block dosn't block,I pick up D.C. channels when I set
it on Md.,Lock out feature dsn't lock out and for you who are interested
in the alert,it only works when scanning  fire,police,or hwy patrol
banks.If you hold on a channel or scan another bank such as your own
frequencys the alert dosn't work.Also the pre programed freqs are random
freqs so unless you look them up and memorize them you don't know what
youare listening to.Spend your money on a good mbile or hand held.If
your set on BCT-7 I have one for sale.

Hmm.  I have one and I am not experiencing nearly as many problems as
you are.  I do pick up DC freqs, but only when I'm scanning the police
banks (they are not in the Highway pre-programmed banks).  Locking out
the data frequencies is not a problem with two really weird
exceptions: No matter what frequency I set it to, the 8th user defined
frequency in the HP bank does not lock out.  Also, it has a really
weird preferrence for 460.3250 MHz (which is a DC data freq.) and
locking this out doesn't work either.

I called Uniden tech support and they offered to replace my scanner,
but I have not taken them up on it yet.

As for the highway alert, it has saved me from at least four different
speeding tickets.  I live in VA, which apparently is one of TWO areas
in the entire country that still does not allow radar detectors
(according to the Washington Post.  If anyone else knows of one,
please let me know).  I am dissapointed with the inability to scan the
HP and Police banks without having it stop every five seconds to look
for the repeater signal.  My solution is that I'm keeping this one in
my car, and I'm gettinga base unit and plugging it into my computer
for when I wish to listen at home.

I might know someone who will buy that BCT-7 off of you.  I'll get
back to you.

Outta here,

Brian

Metro West is a good source for battery packs for handheld scanners.
They might be on the Web and I know they have an 800 number for
ordering a catalogue. I don't have that number at this time. Sorry.

Good scanning makes good friends,

You asked for it...well, I have a 50 channel unit and it's been
reasonably good. However, I have had to resolder the connection between
the BNC connector and the board, and Uniden used a very cheap BNC
connector on my BC-80xlt. Can't say I was impressed by the way the
thing is put together. I've had the unit about six months, BTW.

Does yours accept alkalines as well as nicads? I bought a SportCat and
took it back because it only accepted a special nicad pack. The one I
have accepts both. I think that this would be a serious drawback.

Finally, my old Fanon crystal handheld outperfomrs the BC80-xlt in my own
informal and unscientific tests.

Well, probably one of the best was the Radio Shack Pro - 43, which is an all t

How can I get better indoor reception with my PRO-51?

Must I use an external antenna?

Can I replace the original with another that will give me better
reception?

Vincent,
   Try replacing the stock antenna with an extenible whip. This
will give more sensitivity in some bands, less in others. For
the best reception, you'll be better off with an outdoor antenna,
with good quality co-ax, and if you live in low RF area, a
good quaility pre-amplifier.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

You could try the cellular base antenna from Radio Shack that has suction
cups for sticking to windows, then add a decent length whip to it. It
comes with about 6 feet of coax and a bnc connector.

I used one of these in hotel rooms across the US recently and it worked
very well for less than $10. Mind you, if the signal is from the opposite
side of the building, only a rooftop will help.

Good listening

monitor marine band frequencies or if you have a scanner and not a marine
band radio monitor frequencies 156.625, 156.650, 165.500, 156.550,
156.425, and if you want to pick up the us government boats monitor
157.075, 157.125, and 157.175.

I have a Radio Shack 2035 and a Radio Shack discone as you mention...

After reading Bill Cheeks modification book (volume one or two, I don't
remember) I altered the tip of the discone and placed one of my mobile
cb antennas on it.  I tried various antennas from 2' Firesticks to a
108" whip.  I did notice a general improvement in the lower freq
reception (which antenna didn't seem to make a lot of difference), but
can't tell you how many db's or what freq's...didn't write it down.  But
it did help, and every little bit helps...right?  Cheap improvement too.

Go for it.

John

Assuming your at Fontbonne College in St. Louis...

The frequencies (unconfirmed) I have for BiState are

453.25
453.3
453.65
453.7
453.775
460.25

It's a place to start...

As another suggestion - take the antenna off your scanner, open the
squelch way up, and search away while the driver is talking on the
radio.  Hopefully it will be one of the strongest signals around and the
scanner will find it quickly.  You may want to search a different chunk
of the spectrum each time the driver talks.  The base will most likely
be transmitting on a frequency +/- 5MHz from where you find the driver,
or maybe even on the same frequency.

Hello!

I live in a college dorm and recently found out that closed circut cameras
using the existing cable system will be set up around campus.  I know this
may be allittle off the subject, but what I would like to know is what
freqs will be used for the picture and and possible sound link.

Perhaps I could pick out the sound from the cable system in wide fm mode
on my scanner or use an atv converter with a TV to pick up the video...

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I've just picked a new Pro-51 from RS yesterday.

Frankly, I am surprised at how much cell phone conversations and pager
traffic I can pick up above 896 Mhz, it's as if RS never block the cell bands
at all!

Is this normal for this scanner?
My Pro-43 does much better on image rejection per se.

Overall, I am satisfy with the scanner's performance, but the poor image
rejection thing bugs me a bit.

Joe

I'm sure this is off the topic a little bit... but I have a question about
cell frequencies...

I have a RS PRO-51, and I live in a very busy city (just about everyone has
a
  pager or cell phone. Anyways, that I means I get tons of images. The problem
is that I can never "lock" on to any, unless I'm really lucky. Usually I only
hear them for about 10 seconds and then it'll give me static or just blank
out. Is there anything I can do? If I had a cell-capable scanner (not images),
would I have the same problem?

Thanks a bunch!

You would have the same problem no matter what, because usually cell phone
calls are "trunked".  They periodically switch frequencies in order to
support a large number of subscribers and because of roving callers, going to
cell tower to cell tower.

This is really a half-assed explaination, but basically, unless you are
listening during a really low traffic time (i.e. late at night) it is nearly
impossible to track a single celluar call without the aid of a computer and
armed with knowledge of cell phone trunking systems.

Cell phones jump from one frequency to another while in transit, since
they are constantly searching for cell relay sites with good signal
strength. Basically, the user has left one relay area and has moved into
another causing a change in relay site and frequency.

Cell images are basically as powerful and clear as the originals, so I
doubt if a true cell-capable scanner would be much of an improvement
other than reflecting the actual frequency of a transmission. It
wouldn't help at all in tracking a cell phone through different relay
sites.

In plainer language, this means that once the call gets interesting,
you're going to lose it.

Not necessarily.

There are a lot of people who have started using celltels as a replacement
for land-line telephones. (Dumb, but that's my opinion.) The most
notorious, at least around here, are teenagers whose parents buy them a
phone, put them on an after-18h00 weekdays, all weekend long free calling
plan, and let them run. An awful lot of these calls don't take place from
moving cars - in fact, they're from home, or another suitably stationary
location.

Even during times of high-traffic (ie, 18h00 to 21h00), it's entirely
possible to follow a conversation from start to disconnect, IF the user
stays in one spot (see above) and if the signal quality doesn't go to
shit. Hand-offs do happen, though, even when you are sitting still; try
making a call on a celltel and moving around the room you're in while
monitoring it on your scanner. (It's creepy, try it just for the stange
feeling you'll get.) See if you can spot the bad reception areas in the
room. Neat experiment, anyway. :)

The point of all this is that it depends on the types of celltel users in
your local area. Where I live, people use 'em like land-line phones, so
they're sitting around watching TV 75% of the time, which makes it an
awful lot easier to track than if they're driving around. (Being real
quick on the search key and having a good ear also helps a lot.)

Basically, if you live in a big city, then you get a lot more handoffs,
simply because the cells are a lot smaller, in order to accomadate the
increased number of users. Any way you look at it, the signal will hand
off about 80% of the time, depending on your area, before the call is
finished. If you have a Motorola flip phone and can get it into test mode,
you can listen to cell calls, and find out what channel they are being
handed off to, with some quick math. Fun stuff.

Most cell phone calls don't last very long to begin with, and the
channel is subject to change if the phone is in a fringe area or moves
to a different cell.

Cellular phones do not automatically change channels. The hand-off is
made when the phone moves into a different cell or fringe area. If it
does not move the channel will normally not change. I have heard
calls, when I was a technician building intercept devices, that laster
for hours without changing frequencies.

Can anyone please tell me the current 42MHz frequencies for California

I used to listen to them years ago but the list is long lost.

If the wind is blowing in the right direction, and now that summer has
arrived, they can be heard down here.

Thanks in advance

The CHP uses nearly every frequency between 42.02 and 42.94Mhz in
20Khz steps.

Some of these are mobile only.  The mobile blocks are:

42.18 to 42.30 Mhz
42.66 to 42.78 Mhz

You may also hear the Oregon State Patrol on some channels.

CHP is also starting to use 39.10 to 39.92Mhz for repeaters.  This is
a new system.  The only channels that I know to be operating are:

39.40Mhz
39.60Mhz
39.80Mhz

All are in the San Diego area.

Hope this helps you and good luck

      why oh why
       does the obvious dry

     does your unit have SEARCH.

    if so, then do the obvious: 42.00 to 43.00
    and while you are at it: 45.00 to 46.00  air patrols

    just a thought or one....

The 200 has no way of clearing '1' channel, but to reset all channels:
Turn off the scanner, and hold down 2,9, scan and turn on. (2,9, man

Could someone tell me of alterations/modifications which can be made

I am interested in how I can alter it to achieve low frequencies < 68MHz.

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm looking for a converter to extend the range of my PRO-36 scanner
(limited to 512MHz). I've heard such beasts exist.
It could either be a complete product, a kit (should be simple
actually) or just a schematic and article of a proven design. Any
leads to such products or companies would be appreceated.

I hope he's not a cop.  Here in NY, they are required to know how to
read and write the English language.  This guy lacks that

Officer Mike,

Thank you for your reply, I won't post all of it again because there's
no need to be redundant....

Mike,  some communities actually encourage citizens to monitor local
frequencies for the following reasons:

1.  The citizen is more aware of problems within his/her community and
      is therefore more sensitive to problems within the immediate
      area.   Upon hearing a call in the immediate area, citizens are
      encouraged to  OBSERVE  crimes in progress from safety.
      Citizens are never encouraged to  RESPOND  to any call!
      Responding to calls could very quickly put your life in danger!

2.  Because officers are seldom in a position to give instant
     response,  citizens are encouraged to write down license plates,
     descriptions of car(s), suspects  and any other information that
     may help the officers responding identify the offenders.  This
     information is telephoned to Police *dispatchers.

3.  Officers are provided with additional details almost instantly via
     radio, which is almost as good as having a undercover officer
     observing, reporting and assisting.  Often a citizens call will
     mean the difference between a rapid arrest and a  'clean'
     getaway.

4.  This approach helps foster goodwill towards officers as citizens
      monitoring have a better understanding of what officers actually
      do every day and thus, citizens become more sensitive to the
      cops job.  The end result is, the effort creates better cities,
      communities and neighbors.  Monitoring and assisting citizens
      develop closer bonds between citizens and their law enforcement
      and safety agencies!

I also suspect that when it's time to vote on Bond issues or
additional taxes to improve police stations or better law enforcement
efforts,  citizens who are in the  'know'  will be more sensitive to
it's communities needs and will be more inclined to approve such
measures.

In closing, I say,  Bless you Officer Mike!   I appreciate you very
much.  Have your best and safest New Year yet!

*As I understand it, some limited Federal funds are available to
purchase two-way radios for some Neighborhood Watch programs.
Communications are not on police frequencies, but UHF citizens band?

I just recently purchased a 25-chanel cordless phone and was wondering
how to increase its range.  I was thinking a longer antenna on the base
unit (It only has a short stubby one now).

Any suggestions?

Andrew

I'll look it up but there is an outside dipole antenna-for transmitting

Well, you need to be aware of a few things first.  If this phone isn't
scrambled or protected by some means, you may want to consider
increasing the range.  Also, you need to consider what band the phone
is on.  If the base has a "stubby" antenna, then there's a good chance
it's a 900MHz phone.  In the even that it's a 46MHz phone, then I know
Copper Electronics sells about an 8 foot external antenna to extend
cordless phones for about $30.. and you just stick an alligator clip
on the ant.  connection at the base.

If you have technical knowledge, doing this will work wonders: The base
unit uses a single antenna to transmit and receive at the same time.
Remove the receiver circuit from the antenna by cutting the proper trace
on the P.C. board. Mount an appropriately cut antenna for the receiver
circuit away from the base unit and also consider using a pre-amp. This
will drastically increase your range. Then you can also try various types
of low power amplifiers on your transmitter antenna. A dual antenna base
unit may put you in violation of FCC rules but it works.

WOW!!  You must be lazy beyond all unbelievable bounds as 900Mhz
phones have no more than 1 mile range under BEST conditions.  1/3 mile
is more realistic.  Does your dad let you take the car all the time,
or just when you want to talk on the phone?

So, when you and the other kids are listening to phone calls, do you
walk around (sorry - drive around) with your portable scanner and
900Mhz phone so you can call them and listen to yourself?  You and the
other kids must be pretty smart to have figured out how to listen to
all this stuff.

 to whom it may concern,

46/49 Mhz phones are no good. the thought of trying to get more range is
like asking the kid with a scanner 5 blocks away if he can hear you, hehe
I receive them on my scanner from over a mile away and you wonder why the
phone itself can't go far out in the yard, well they were built by federal
specs to only transmit so far but the base can be heard for over a mile. I
think the feds weren't smart because every kid knows to listen to the
nieghbors and extendimg the range on your phone will only let his friends
down the street listen. so I would go to a Digital 900 Mhz phone, they have
the best clarity and range, I drive to the store and back home while talking
on mine and the best part is the kids can't here it on the scanner because
of the digital signal it produces but be aware the feds have ways to uncode
the security of anything.

Your opinion is that 46/49 Mhz phones are "no good."  The may not be great,
but compared to 10 years ago, they are excellent.  True they don't have the
range of a 900mhz phone but most people only need 200-300' at the most. I
would be interested in know how far you go when you are using your 900mhz
phone and drive to the store.

As with any encryption, encoding, or spread spectrum system, the
question isn't if it can be broken, the question is how long
will it be before someone finds a flaw in it and breaks it.

Spread spectrum is being approached with more awe and reverence
than it deserves.  I believe this is mostly because people don't
know the details of what it really is and how it works.

PCS uses spread spectrum near the 2 GHz band primarily because
they can squeeze more traffic in to each cell that way and get
better cell to cell isolation.  They don't use it to "encrypt"
your conversation.

The standards for this are probably published somewhere.  I'm
sure some resourceful people will find ways of constructing a
receiver for such traffic.  --Hell you'd almost have to build
one anyway if you were going to do diagnostics on one of these
systems.  Are there any regulations regarding sales of test
equipement like that?  What about when this stuff gets
surplused by the company?  How long can such a network stay
"secure?"

Disclaimer: Although I'm interested in Spread Spectrum
technology, I have no interest with interception of
PCS data.  I'll leave that as an exercise for the Peeping
Toms in our society.

I'm sure that Ham Radio operators can decode Amateur digital spread
spectrum- it has too many restrictions on it.

As for the militarys, I don't think the NSA is talking...

Some transmissions can not be decoded, even by the NSA. DVP and
Fascinator, for example. 10,000 Cray Supercomputers would take
thousands of years to try all the key combinations, the 'Brute Force'
attack.

That's what I did; went and got a dedicated Yaesu FT-411.  The FT-411
has pretty good audio and is cheap enough to use as a scanner.

Has anyone had any transactions with a
Dave Fuller of las vegas nv.

My check for a pro-43 was cashed by my bank on 11/25
and I have not seen the scanner nor has he returned any
of my e-mail queries.

I hope I haven't been taken.

Ed,

Wasn't this the guy that demanded payment up front, NO CODS, etc..?

I almost did a deal for a 43 with him, asked him for a call sign, and
home phone, none of which was provided....

I got real bad "vibes" and did not send him any money.

Guess I was lucky.  Hope you get your money or scanner.

It's interesting to note that all of his posts are through DejaNews. I
don't know that this means anything.. Just some odd thing I noticed.

Just to let folks know what is going on with my quest
to find out if I was scamed by dave fuller for the
purchase of a pro-43. My check cleared my bank on 11/25
and I havent heard from him or received the scanner.


He still hasen't responded to my queries or posted
a rebuttle to the news group.

I contacted the Las Vegas police dept and they advised me
to go thru my local pd and they would take charge of the
investigation.I plan on going down tomorrow and filling out
the paperwork.

I will post to this group any updates .

Unlikely. DES is a one-way encryption mechanism - you can't rebuild an
avacado from guacamole. Unless someone's figured out how to reverse the
encryption mechanism, you won't see a decoder anywhere, and the odds of
that having happened are pretty thin. If they have broken the mechanism,
they either work for the NSA, or aren't saying anything.

Ummmm
I think the person posting about UPS not having tracking capabilities
didn't know that the little white sticker that's stuck on your yellow
receipt has the *tracking-number* on it, and the originator of this
thread led us on on a 2 or 3 week sob story. (I hope he doesn't have
hemorrhoid or prostate troubles in the near future ;)   ) I'm *sorry*
to have added to its longevity but perhaps this thread will now
peacefully and *abruptly* DIE !   :)

I played around with a DOS application a few years ago that did this..
it was a sample of a shareware program.. you have to record the sound
as a .VOX file, then you run the application, and put the vox file on
the command line, and it decodes and prints up each number.. it only
did 8 digits since it was a sample copy.. reg. costs like $25.. I
can't remember what it's called.. but search around for it, it did
work, I tried it.

You could use one of the shareware/freeware programs which produce a
sound spectrum from the tones, have a 'reference' plot of tones 1-0,
then compare recording of the unknown tones with the refernce plot.
DTMF produces a chacteristic frequency signature, so this should be
possible,   h.

In Bill Cheeks scanner modification book 1, and M.T. March 91, there is a
table which shows the complete cellular frequency layout for a seven cell
system.
My Question;
                In the nonwireline company, the first expanded frequency range is 869.04
to 869.99 MHz. Does 869.99 belong with cell G, and the remainder follow the
same sequence?
Question 2;
                The last frequency used in the nonwireline table is 879.99, the next
freq. 880.01 , belongs to wireline company's group of frequencies and
extends to 889.98. The next frequency is 890.01 is the beginning of the
nonwireline expanded system. Can anyone tell me where 890.01 belongs in the
table, does it follow the same sequence.

They have been replaced by Digital Audio Tape (DAT).

O.K., so they are not obsolete yet.  Maybe another year or so.

Oh yea, THOSE things.  Didn't they come out a couple of years and threaten to
take over just about everything?  Gee, I haven't really seen anybody with a
player anywhere.  Come to think about it, I don't think Wal-Mart sells the
tapes either.  Just where does one get this new technology these days?  I
wouldn't bet on tapes going the way of the 8-track just yet.  They're CHEAP.
That's their saving grace.  DAT will NOT be very cheap to the everyday
consumer who just wants to record the birds nearby.  Just my opinion.

DAT is HUGE in the pro audio business.  It just hasn't really caught on with c

Adam--


There are many types of FCC licenses. If you want an amateur (ham)
radio license, these are free of FCC fee, but cost about $6.25 for the
exam. Information and study guides are available at your local Radio
Shack store. You can also get information from the American Radio
Relay League (ARRL)  in Newington, CT, 06111. They also have a web
URL, but I don't have it handy. Point your favorite search engine to
ARRL or "amateur radio".

1. Turn off caps lock.
2. State what kind of FCC license you need (e.g. Amateur, GROL, GMRS,
etc.)
3. Come back when you make up your mind.

Adam:

If you're talking about Amateur Radio, start here --
http://www.arrl.org/newham.html --  If you're talking about something
else, then maybe one of the FCC links found at http://www.arrl.org/fcc
will help.

Good luck.

-Carl

(p.s. please turn your caps lock off.  Upper case is considered
shouting.)

My, what a helpful and informative response. Try this:

1. Although you find it offensive, the fact is that he already made
his request. Don't treat him like a child and refuse to answer him
until he asks in what you deem to be "the proper manner".
2. This response is just plain stupid. He said he's new. Perhaps an
explanation would have been a bit less anal.
3. Why, so you can rip at him some more?

one what frequency are you using to operate on? if it is not very popular
frequency, that the FCC monitors screw the license don't waste the money.
I have operated on two way frequencies such as 156.900 and I live in
Montana. It is not monitored because it is a marine frequency and i dont
have a license.

So, it is people like you who ride on the back of us licence holders!

(Ok I know that I am in the uk & I pay my licence fees to a different
agency, but the principles are the same.)

I have several Commercial  and Repeater Operators licences and an
Amateur Radio licence.

My licence fees (And those licence payers in Montana and elswere) go
towards keeping the spectrum in a reasonable semblance of order. It
goes towards stopping interference to AUTHORISED users from unlicenced
and often badly maintained equipment.

What gives you the right to break the law just 'co you are out of VHF
range of the oggin!

You are also encouraging others to blatantly break the law. What a
wally! Think about it. Why sould you NOT pay your dues? Not doing so
is theft.

What type of FCC License do you want?  There are several, and for some
things you need no license at all;

Ham Radio:  Learn certian elements of theory, and for some classes of
licenses, morse code, take the test (usually administered by local ham
radio clubs) to obtain your license.  Buy the book at Radio Shack, or
contact your local ham radio clubs for more info.

GMRS:  No test, but a license is required.  I think they are now $80.00,
and you can get licensed on 2 channel pairs, plus the interstitials, and
for certian uses of 462.675/467.675.

Business Band:  If you qualify, you can apply to the coordinating body for
a specific freq, or get in touch with a radio service provider, and they
can help you get licenses on certian freqs, or services.

Public Safety:  As an individual you may not get a license, but if you are
with a police, fire, rescue etc type agency, then they should have a
license on your operational channels.

CB:  No license required.

scanning my AR8000 suddenly produces a strong birdie on 124.500 MHz. I
would appreciate any advice concerning this problem. Please email me at

You replace a ceramic-cased crystal with a metal-cased one.  Its the CPU
clock crystal I think, I replaced mine with a 4.9152 MHz crystal from a local
store.

There are WWW pages explaining all this - try a search.

: scanning my AR8000 suddenly produces a strong birdie on 124.500 MHz.

If its always on the same frequency, its not a *floating* birdie.  The above
may or may not fix it.  (The above mod on mine caused different birdies, but
they wern't moving any more so you can lock them out if you find one).

I wrote a prototype scanner recorder utility that runs in Win95 and
WinNT. It only records, but it records as if a virtual VOX unit were
added to a tape recorder. Only records when there's sound. Does not
record silence.

I you want to download a free copy of this recorder-only product
prototype, free free to get it at the following URL:

This software is absolutely free  with no strings attached. You are
free to distribute the software as long as the true originator of this
software is preserved.

http://www.davee.com/adar.html

If anyone is interested in the source code, I will provide a copy upon
request, provided it is not to be used for commercial reasons.

Sound Advice all the way around.

I am not a new user to the computer realm and I do use it to record from
the scanner, and the shortwave. This program (scanner recorder) is a
boon to me. It has allowed me to take 4 hours of on-line time and
substantially reduce the wave file (by only recording when there is
activity). This last night, I left it go for 6 hours and got 41 minutes
of audio. Now thats impressive!

For those of you who missed the url to get this software, its at the
following:

? are you sure ,

Ermes is use on 169 Mhz and it is a 24/24 h 7/7days , it is going to
replace pocsag receptors

Well, I tried the PD-software & hardware about a year ago, and
I also tuned in to a Ermes-frequency. It was defenately a pocsag-
signal (can't recall the baud-rate...); at that time, there were
only test-messages being transmitted. Those messages looked something
like this: "THIS IS AN ERMES TEST-TRANSMISSION", and also some kind
of serial numer (for test-identification-purposes I guess).
But anyway I *did* decode Ermes with PD. Anybody else who decoded
Ermes with PD???? (I'll try to do it again sometime...)

ERMES is 4-stage FSK signal at higher speed than any POCSAG
signal..(POCSAG being 2-stage FSK). So decoding with only PD
shouldn't be possible( because of 4-FSK, not speed).
Pocsag is normally transmitted at 512, 1200 and sometimes
at 2400 symbols/s, ERMES at 3.x ksymbols/s
(making data transfer speed double with 4-FSK).

In some countries there are still POCSAG transmissions on ERMES
band.

Run a pair of wires from your speaker jack to the sound input on your

Instructions for computer novices aren't usually available with beta
software.  That gets done for the release version.  That's why it is
not a good idea for new users to run beta tests - they don't tend to
know enough about their system to recognize problems or make
meaningful reports to the author.

ok, now that I have the program, can anyone help me out as to what I need
to do to record stuff???

I have an AR1500 scanner and my computer has either a SB16 or SB Pro card
in it.

I have never used the sound card for anything but  the basic sounds for
games...

Any tips on how to tie my scanner and computer together (not with rope)
would be appreciated.

thanks

  Try string, Just joking. Hook a 1/8" ended cable to your Headphone output
to your Line input on the soundcard. Then use the sound mixer program to
selact the Line input for recording. That's it. I still think it's cool.
 Still need help? E-mail me. I will draw you a pic.

Anymore, you really can't.

In general, the shorter the antenna, the higher the frequency.
But there are ways of making short antennas longer to be more
efficient, and long antennas shorter to be less of a pain in
the arse.

This is really a dilemma for which there is no good answer.  But
my cellular telephone came with two antennas....one a short nub for
convenience, and the other a much longer one for "range".  Such antennas
are available for most all other transceivers, too.

THAT..
NOT ONLY DOES THE SHERIFF USE THESE, SO DOES SAC. CO. FIRE, LIGHT RAIL,
SAC. INTL. AIRPORT, COUNTY MAINTAINANCE, PARKS AND REC, ANIMAL CONTROL.
SO ALL I CAN SAY IS GOOD LUCK AND BE PATIENT FOR NOW UNTIL THEY DEVISE A

Lane, a search on the spectrum cd rom yielded three hits for Utah, each
licensed to the State of Utah in three different cities, Escalante,
Layton, and Richfield.

Percon has a web page that will allow you to enter requests directly.
I, however, do not know the url.

Uniden BC 2500 XLT for sale. It is about two years old, but has not been
carried around much, so is in very good condition. One of the battery
packs has been used up, but the other is still holding out. They lose
charge from just sitting as often as from operating the unit. I just
rarely use it, and it's not worth buying new battery packs.

Asking $250 OBO. Will cover COD fee.

Might consider a trade of a base unit with similar or slightly less
features. At least a base can be used once in a while without worrying
about battery packs. :)

I have two Icom IC-R7000 receivers for sale. One has EEB's high
performance modification, the other is stock. Both are in excellent
condition in the original boxes. The radios *do* cover the entire 800 MHz
range. I am asking $1000.00 plus shipping for each.

Optoelectronics Scout - $300, including COD USA shipping
--------------------------------------------------------

Opto Scout nearfield received in absolutely like-new condition.
Includes box and manual.  Hooks up to an AR8000 for instant "reaction
tune".

For those that are unfamiliar with the Scout, it is a Frequency Recorder
that scans the entire RF spectrum in less than a second.  It's about the
size of a pack of cigarettes and also has vibrate mode to tell you of hits.

Ever see someone talking on a handheld and wonder what frequency they are
using (so you can enter it in your scanner?)  -- slip the Scout in your
pocket and you only need to be near the person and it will instantly catch
and record the frequency and store it in memory.

It's a lot of fun to take to sporting events, too!

The only reason I'm selling it is because I already have one and this was
included in a deal with some other equipment.  It looks brand-new, no
scratches, etc.  Comes with an AC charger.  Has a BNC connector so you can
hook up whatever sort of antenna you want (full range or pick something
tuned for your target frequency).  Can store up to 400 different freq hits
in memory, with a hit-count for each frequency.

Drop me a note if you are interested.  Sorry, not interested in any trades
right now!

This is theoretically speaking (keep in mind the ECPA act of 1986),
 but what is the future of cellular (oops, I mean 'full 800 Mhz band')
scanning? this weeks Newsweek has an article describing some new
digital cell phones and something called PCS systems, and from the
sound of it, it seems the 'potential' fun of 'full 800 Mhz' band scanning
 will be  dead or near dead by the end of the decade.

What are some of your thoughts on this? Please email if possible.
Thanks

Tim

The best cell phone monitor is the cell phone itself.  I have seen
reference to information about the modification of cell phones to
allow them to scan or follow cell site switching.  Lots of older bag
phones are a dime a dozen now.  When digital transmissions become
commonplace, I believe those who want badly enough to monitor will
simply modify a digital cell phone to lock onto the cell site using
the control channel and become frequency agile and hear the
transmissions.  Has anyone seen the reference to this information?  It
was posted months ago as a web site but nothing there when I tried it.
My 2 cents.  Thanks

Many people go bananas when they hear the word 'scrambled'.

Scrambling is not necessarily 'encrypted'.   Encryption is for security,
scrambling is for data integrity.

To the average person, they remain the same- unintelligble.   That is
until the algorithm is found-out, which sooner or later it will be.

Scrambling tends to use Frame Based, Distributed Sample, or Self
Synchronizing methods.  All of these can be decoded with the right
equipment, and without an encryption layer, decoded.

Face it.  For all intents and purposes, any digital signal is Encrypted if
you don't have a digital receiver.   I don't have one, do you?   But
someday I will.

What people need to do is not panic!   Stick around, be willing to spend
some money when the time is right, and in the mean time EXPERIMENT.  Stay
on the net, listen to your radio, and tell others about your success and
failures.

Manufacturers will come out with de-scrambling( not decrypting) scanners
if we give them enough time, and stay a big enough market to make their
investment worthwhile.

I'm in for the long haul.

PS:  For an excellent, although expensive, introduction into "scrambling'
find the following book:
    "Scrambling Techniques for Digital Transmission"   by B. Lee and S.
KIM
              Springer-Verlag Press, 2nd printing 1995.

                                       cheers,

        i've seen what you're talking about.  people who do this
        call themselves phreakers.  it goes along the same line as
        making boxes (tapping phone lines and stuff).  i've seen an
        article by a guy who did it and he explained exactly what he
        did and the kinds of things you can do with cell phones once
        you've done it.  One thing in particular is cell scanning.
        apparently, makers of cell phones are computer hackers themselves,
        and design cell phones in much the same way they do computer
        systems - with alot of back doors.

        i can't remember exactly where i saw this, but i think if
        you do a search on the words phreak and hacker you should
        find more than enough urls to keep you busy.

PCS, CDMA, or GMS, it makes no difference.....the cellular system is
evolving from the archaic analog system to digital and encrypted digital.

I don't know about any test, but PacBell just opened a new GMS/PCS service.
Ain't no way, computerized or not, those signals will ever be monitorable.

On second thought, I think PacBell did supply the conventioneers with
"special cellular phones" as a beta test.  No doubt it was the PCS system
that's now gone commerical.  $30 a mo; 30-cents a minute; 30-mins free each
month; free answering serice and a pager built into the phone.

Handwriting's on the wall, if you ask me.

Sooner or later someone will make available in inexpensive DAC system
for scanners and communications receivers.
However, few people bother to use digital.
The new CDMA is another matter. While not encrypted, it is Spread
Spectrum and receiving it in understandable form is no trivial matter.
But again, most people won't use it if analog is cheaper.
As far as PCS, that may not be operational for many years, and when it
is, the carriers will no doubt make the same mistake as with cellular
and use ordinary analog transmission.
Cellular will be there to monitor for years to come, but I don't
understand why people waste their time listening to something so
boring...

My mail server will not send my message to you so I will post it here.

A converter converts any frequency that a scanner doesn't cover to one it
does cover.  The only two I have seen are for cellular phones and military
air.  I am not a technician so I can't tell you how it works, but you hook
your antenna to it and run a jumper from it to your scanner.  The good ones
have an off/on switch.  The converter only works when it is on, and allows
regular frequencies to be heard when it is off.  GRE supposedly makes the
best ones which are available from Scanner World.  Their number is
1-800-476-7640.  The converter I see is the GRE Super Converter 9001 for
$86.99.  Scanner World also has a website.

My favorite base scanner is the Radio Shack PRO-2042.  It sells for $500,
but I got mine on sale with an extra 10% taken off for $350.  A friend of
mine has a Bearcat BC9000XLT which he likes.  My PRO-2042 is a 1000 channel
scanner with 10 banks of 100 channels that covers almost everything from
25MHz - 1.3GHz.  My friend's scanner covers the same frequencies, but it is
a 500 channel scanner with 20 banks of 25 channels.  His also lets him give
each channel a label, but it takes an average of 2 minutes to label each
channel.  This would take about 5 hours.  He is thinking about getting a
PRO-2042 when it goes on sale again.

I started out with a Bearcat BC890XLT.  I could here cellular via image
from 894-920, but it has a lot of birdies and noisy frequencies.

Uniden makes 95% of Radio Shack's scanners.  The PRO-2042 is made be GRE
who also makes the converter.

The PRO-2035 is the same thing as the PRO-2042, but it will not tell you if
you are programming the same frequency more than once and it will search
and program the same frequencies more than once.  The PRO-2042 corrects all
the problems of the PRO-2035.

The PRO-2006 does the same thing as the PRO-2035, but it has 400 channels
with 10 banks of 40 channels.  It can have the cellular restored, easily.
You can get this modification from KC5KTO's Radio Page at;

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

Go to the Radio Modification Page for info on this and other mods for Radio
Shack scanners.

If you have any more questions, please email me.

Hope This is Helpful,

I have 3 things: a 20 channel 10 Band Uniden Bearcat, an Itom
Amateur Radio Band Plan (January, 1995) and lastly very little
knowledge of the foregoing. What I am interested in in receiveing
ham broadcasts on the Uniden.  Is this possible ? Any ideas

It probably is.  Most scanners are capable of recieving in the 148 and
440 ranges, which are frequently where a lot of Ham activety is.  What
you need to find out is what frequencies the repeaters in your area
are using.  Your local Radio Shack may know, as well as the local
Civil Defense unit, Red Cross unit, REACT unit, etc.

Getting advice on the 'net
is like going to the doctor.

If you don't like the first opinion,
you're sure to get another.

The scanner probably covers the amateur 50-54 MHz and 144-148 MHz
allocations, and maybe the 420-450 MHz band, too.  If you can scan
withing frequency limits rather than have to input the freqs to scan by
channel, you should quickly find activity.  I don't have my repeater
directory handy, so I can't give you specific freqs for the Tampa area.
146.88 is the most common ham repeater output freq in the country,
though.  146.76 is also popular.  Another reader may be able to provide
Tampa specifics.

Hams do not broadcast, but they may transmit from one HAM to another.

Doc, You will not receive any of the HF broadcasts will that scanner, however
you can receive your local 2-meter and 440 mhz.  Just check with your local
Rat Shack and they can give you some freqs to start with.

I've got a Pro-2006 thet I modified to recieve cellular a couple of

Does anyone have suggestions on a nice (but reasonably priced) hand held

If I buy a scanner in canada. are some of the frequencies blocked? Just
like they have in the US?
Cellular frequencies are blocked  in the US.
Frequencies between 520 to around 720 are blocked. Why is this frequency
range blocked? What can you hear or monitor in this range?

If you buy Radio Shack they are all blocked. I presume  they  are sent by
the manufacturer to the U.S. then some are distributed to Canada. There
aren't any unblocked models made specifically for Canada.
Atlantic Ham Radio advertises full coverage scanners in some U.S.
magazines. They are in Toronto, I've never visited their web site, their
URL is www.interlog.com/~ahr.
As for the blocked frequencies, 520 is channel 20 on your TV set. Channel
68 ends at 800. There is nothing to hear in this range that couldn't be
heard on a standard TV hooked to an outside antenna.

Depends on what scanner you buy.  There really isn't anything
interesting in that range, though.  It's mostly occupied by UHF
television channels.  Scanner manufacturers use that band for
intermediate frequencies in the mixing stages, since any spurious
internal signals in the scanner will not interfere with channels that
the use may be trying to monitor.

I have bought two PRO-43s that were manufactured after the cutoff date
for the US market. Both were purchased here in Canada. Both were
modifiable to receive the cell band. I didn't do it on either since cell
is the most boring thing on the face of the earth (except maybe
listening to a data channel, static, or dead air).

If I'm not mistaken, the UHF band you mention is reserved for so-called
"UHF TV" channels, ie. 14-83 (or is that 14-79 now?). If you had a
scanner that could receive that band, you'd hear anything that was being
broadcast on one of those TV channels.

NO.  Here in Canada you have the freedom to listen to anything on the
air.  The rules are simple, enjoy listening, but that's all.  You may not
use what you have heard for commercial gain, or tell anyone else what you
have heard.  That's all.

I hope this helps!

But most big retailers that bring in scanners,
bring in non cell-capable models.

No,.... I just bought a Pro-26 from Radio Shack (25HMz to 1.3GHz, 200
channels) a few weeks ago. I am disappointed since the cellular freq. are
blocked, I think most scanners from Radio Shack nowadays will have
blocking on the cellular.

I suggest a helical of about 10 turns, and a preamp tuned to the milsat
freqs. You can hear some sigs on a dipole, but they're weak. Most of what
you'll hear is encrypted, but sometimes there's neat stuff in the clear. I
hear a lot of Russian telephones on 266.85 and 50kHz or so above that.

You can also hear a signal most of the time on 262.4 MHz.

    It's interesting stuff, because the footprint of whatever
transponder that is seems to cover at least all of CONUS.  Traffic seems
to mostly be of a personal nature, too, based on inflections, etc.

  Could be a terrestrial point-to-point type circuit somewhere (Cuba?)
that just happens to be on the uplink freq of someone else's satellite.
Strange though that they'd continue to waste transponder power &
bandwidth letting a co-channel interference signal go through the pipe
all these years.

> You can also hear a signal most of the time on 262.4 MHz.

   A beacon.  Good way of testing an antenna, which I think is one of
the main reasons that beacons is actually there.

HELP!!!  My SONY ICF-2010 Shortwave Radio has gone haywire!!!

When I turn it on, the display is frozen, none of the buttons work, and
nothing I do changes it.  I've tried replacing the clock/memory batteries.
I've tried keeping it unplugged for a couple of days (hoping for a
miracle, or perhaps a reset...<wink>) NOTHING!!!   <boo hoo hoo>

Recently my poor little ICF-2010 experienced a lot of sun exposure and
then a power disruption.... aaarrrgghhh... I am very worried that one of
these two disasters are the cause of my babies coma <wink>...

Seriously, any help would be appreciated (if you could email me to ensure
I get it, I promise to post the answer, I'm sure that others would benifit.)

Very Sad...Dan  :(

Hi,
My 20 watt transceiver has a burned out transformer . To purchase one new
it will cost me quite a few dollars.
Is there anyone in the Sydney area that could fix it for me......or is
willing to sell me a second hand cheap unit (as spares).

Please mail me at

Cliff, if you have a cassette player grab a "CD adapter" designed to
play a portable CD through your cassette deck.  I've used one for over a
year with good results.

You'll need a 1/8" stereo-mono adapter from Rat Shack to convert the
mono headphone jack on the scanner to the stereo adapter.

(be careful with the volume level on your car stereo, it can be VERY
loud)

Although I don't like doing this because it effectively eliminates the
tape player and radio, you can pick up an "Auto CD Carrier" for about $20
that'll link through your tape deck to the headphone jack on your scanner.

It works well, and it means your volume control is right on the dash in
front of you. Tie this in with an external mag-mount antenna, and you're
set.

In my last car I installed a jack to a speaker that would cut out the
radio when I inserted the plug from the scanner. It would be similar to
the headphone jacks which cut out the speaker when the phones are plugged
in.

Another alternative is to get a little FM transmitter which plugs into
the output jack of your scanner and broadcasts to your tuner. I got one
at Target for about $20 and it works pretty well. I even hang some bell
wire on it and use it in the house. Has a fairly good range.

        take regular speaker cable that's already running to your speakers,
        buy a headphone jack from radio shack (or anywhere else that sells
        them), put the two together, and you're ready to go.  it's really
        easy.

        the adapter is gonna cost a buck or so, and i think they come in
        packs of two.  you'll need to solder (probably, anyways) the speaker
        wire to the inside of the jack, so you'll probably need a soldering
        iron and some solder too.

        i did this, it took about ten minutes.  did the same thing for my
        cb p.a.  needless to say, my truck is _wired_.  also, i don't think
        it's a good idea to splice off the existing speaker wire and run
        it to your scanner like this.  the incoming power from your radio
        may damage the scanner, so run either  the radio _or_ the scanner
        to the speakers, not both.

I found one of those cassette adaptors in a surplus catalog for $4.50.  The re
ason it was so cheap was
because it had most of the cable cut off.  I wired it up w/ the proper connect
ors for my scanners, and
it works great.  Just use a local WX station to set the levels and off you go.

I'm not sure how far reaching this freq is, but I've been hearing
commentary on the mission (but no actual mission communications..I might
just be listening at the wrong times tho) on 145.160 mhz.  I'm in
Minneapolis, so maybe the 5 state region?  Who knows....I've got a REALLY
crappy rubber duck (stock radio shack) and it comes thru just as loud as
wx, so maybe it's just a ham near me re-broadcasting it.  I dunno

Another way - without copying the entire cd to the hard drive:

In Access create a new database (*.mdb).  From the menu choose File/Get
External Data/Link Tables.  On the Link dialog change the file type to
Microsoft FoxPro, and select spectrum.dbf from the cd rom.  When it asks
you for the index file, cancel the dialog.  (If you choose one it will
want to create a temp file on the cd, which is read only, and will fail
anyway.)

Now you've got a table called SPECTRUM that looks like it's an Access
table, except behind the scenes it's really a foxpro table that lives on
the cd.

You can write any sort of access query against this table that you want,
however, since it can't use any of the indicies it will be dog slow.
What you need to do is write a query that selects all rows where the
state is <whatever your state is>.  While in query design mode, choose
Query/Make Table from the menus.  This means that when you run the query
you'll create a new access table on your hard drive containing the rows
from the foxpro table on the cd that satisfied the query.

Be prepared to let the computer run all night and half the next day
doing this.

When you're done you'll have an access table containing the information
relating to your state.  You can now add indexes to any or all fields.
Once you've got it indexed, you can write any query you want, from
simple ones that look up all FD frequencies in a city to ones that pull
all public saftey or IB frequencies within an X mile radius of your
house (assuming you know the lat/long of your house and the distance
formula.)

Since you now have a read/write copy of the part of the database you're
most interested in you can do clean up things like deleting all rows
where the frequency is out of range of your scanner, is the same as a
birdie frequency, etc.

You can add rows to the table whenever you come up with some new
frequencies from other sources (low power, mutual aid, milair, space
shuttle, etc.)  Ad hoc queries will be easy to write too.  It will take
about 2 minutes to write and execute a query that finds all railroad
frequencies in the county, or all Hardee's frequencies, or all freqs
between 450 and 455 MHz, etc.

With the percon cd being about $30 it's reasonable to get the new one
each time they update it, and rebuild the read/write access copy with
the updated information.

I agree with the comments on the Percon disk.  You have to pull off the
counties you want onto your hard drive (But NOT the whole CD!), as a
*dbf file (foxpro) then open it in Access or Lotus.  Then it's real easy
to create lists of the freq's you want.  The Percon Program itself is
dismal.  maybe it was neat 5 years ao.

I advocated copying the CD to the hard drive in the belief that it would
speed the rest of the operation. Pulling it off the CD is as someone
already said, is"dog slow." I tried it that way and it took literally all
night! I figure that it has to go faster if all of  the data is on the HD.
The other advantage of that approach is that you have the ability to grab
data for the states around you if you want them while you're add it.
Overall, I think it's just gotta be faster. I admit that I didn't compare
the different approaches (who's got time for that?).

In THEORY the 155.475 Mhz freq IS supposed to be THE common interagency freq,
and is often listed as "NLEMAR" (National Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Radio)
which is similar to the CLEMAR channels in California...

Hi Sparky,

In Illinois we call it ISPERN (Illinois State Police Emergency Network). ONLY
the
following agencies can broadcast from base stations on it: all Illinois State
Police
District Headquarters, Lake County Sheriff's Police, Cook County Sheriff's Pol
ice and
Chicago PD. ALL Police mobile units are supposed to have it as well as all ind
ividual
officer portables. In practicality, CPD only has it in mobile units near their
 municiple
border, numerous suburban Cook County municiple units don't have it due to usi
ng the
trunked 800 mhz band or the 450 mhz band. Also non Law Enforcement vehicle or
personnel
CAN NOT use it, for LE to FD we use 155.055 and call it IREACH (Illinois Radio
 Emergency
Aid Channel). Any and most dispatch centers have base stations it and it is in
 most
fire, rescue and police mobile units, even ESDA units can have it.

Hasta, Rick
IL0560900

Is a PRO-2032 a good 200 channel scanner?  My local Radio Shack
has a few on clearance for $149 Canadian (roughly $105 U.S.)
The date code is 7A3. I think this means it was manufactured in
July 1993.  Does this mean there would be a good chance it could
unblocked easily?  I've searched the net, but I can't find much
on this scanner.   The PRO-2004,5 and 6 seem to be more popular
base scanners and there is lots of good mods available.
Should I pick up a 2032 or hold out for another used model?

Thanks...Brad

Brad I have a 2032 & modified it for cell Freqs fairly easily.This unit
can be pluged into the wall or used in a vehicle.I don't use the ant.
that came with it. I bought a magnetic base car ant. from RS that has
what looks like a car radio plug on the and of it,also at RS they sell an
adapter that will allow you to plug the ant into it with a BNC connector
to connect to the back of the 2032. Happy scanning Brad.

P.S. I've had my 2032 since feb/95 and have had NO problems with it at
all,I think I paid somewhere in the $300. range for it....

Actually, on the LMR mailing list, there is quite a bit of interesting
information being dealt with.  Even from Motorola Factory engineering
staff.

Uh, yeah, right.  Although they do have intranets, MUCH discussion is

[snip]

I used to subscribe to a "land-mobile" listserver that had a lot of
interesting exchanges of information.

I stopped subscribing because I was getting too much mail from it.

I think a usenet group would be great.

That would be questionable advice.  I only say that because there are a
lot of picky, whiney people in the ham groups that don't want commercial
radio discussed there.

It was tried a few years ago, and failed. Both as a newsgroup, then as a
mailing list. But, if there is now more intrest, count me in also. I use a
great deal of Motorola Equipment for all my Police, Security, and Ham
needs. I also sell used gear on the side.

First they came for the hackers. But I never did anything

Then they came for the pornographers. But I thought there was

Then they came for the anonymous remailers. But a lot of nasty

Then they came for the encryption users. But I could never

Then they came for me. And by that time there was no one left

I've noticed that LAPD repeaters have about a 1/2 second delay in them
from the time that the officer speaks to the time that you actually hear
them, so it was probably another radio in the area... Or, it could just be
me, hearing things...

Sounds more like you heard an ht in the background. If they did go to
digital mode, perhaps DVP, it would sound like you had the squelch open
on your radio, only with a repeater tail. Same kind of noise.

And you can, right ?
Maybe you should grace the 'M' service facility with your talents and
help them to get it working. If your 'qualified', maybe they'll let you go
in and help them set ASTRO(tm) - DIU <-> Quantar system levels .. you do
know what a DIU is ? don't you ? Or maybe you can do simulcast launch
offset optimization...

If you really want to be helpful put in B1654 DCCM's and reprogram the
CCII's & ACIMS to support .. oops, never mind ...irrelevant.

Give the engineers/tech's involved some credit - the problems are
usually management related within 'M' ... (trust me - I know) ...
I'll bet what happened is the 'qualified' people got so pissed off at
parent 'M', and left for other fields - leaving semi-qualified people
to pick up the ball. And that's what your seeing .. the results of
internal politics within 'M' ...

'M' has (had) incredibly talented & experienced people on the payroll
but a lot of them left because of changes in the way the company handled
service. A lot of p.o'd customers ...

I'm very new to scanning, and don't even own a scanner yet.  I'm just
curious.  I heard that it's illegal to listen to cell-phone calls; is
that true?  Has anyone been prosecuted for this?  Isn't it pretty
despotic of the government to forbid you to listen to something that's
blasted out over the airwaves?

Just curious.  Please respond in email, since I don't always read
this.

Me, too.  I was planning a research trip to that vicinity as a Scanner

Hi all...

I'm looking into buying a handheld scanner.  I don't know much about
them, and am looking for some input from those who do.


Features I'm looking for:

* All "standard" bands + 800Mhz (don't care about cellular)
* min 50 channels
* LCD display with switchable backlight (probably a default feature?)
* programmable search range
* model that supports optional drop-in charger is a plus.

Basically, I'm looking for a simple unit for the best price.  I don't
need all the bells and whistles.

I don't need the newest, latest, greatest model either.  Something
that's been around for a few years is ok.

Unfortunately, I don't have e-mail.  Please post responses here.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Harry,

I would recommend a Bearcat 150 sold at Best Buy.  It's a basic scanner
with most of the features you asked for.  I recommended the same scanner
to my father who really enjoys the way it works.  Another benefit is its
simplicty to program.
Good Luck,
Ron

Harry,
   It might help us if you could give a dollar amount to work with.
And do you live in a large city, close to one, in the suburbs or
rural? This will help to narrow down whether you can get a dual
conversion scanner, or would be better off spending a little more
to get a triple conversion unit.

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Harry,
   For your price range, the Uniden Sportcat 150 is probably the
best bet. 100 channels in ten banks with 800MHz. You will not
have programmable search capabilities; you'll have to deal with
pre-programmed search ranges if you plan to "hunt" for new
frequencies.
   And be warned that if you take it into a fair sized city,
the dual conversion nature of this scanner will render it prone
to lots of intermod in the 150 and 850MHz ranges.
   You might be best off getting one from a catalog showroom
type merchandiser who has a 30-day refund policy. Try it out
and see what you think. If you don't like it just take it back
and be prepared for the possibility of having to spend more
money for more features and/or triple conversion(to help
reduce the effects of intermod).
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

I'm hoping to keep the price range in the $150 area (I'm flexible - as
long as the set does what I want)

I live in a suburban area and comute into the city - so I'm looking to
use this at home as well as in the car.

Thanks for the help.

        A friend of mine is looking for a new Pro-2006, now by new i dont
mean just manufactured i mean in MINT condition w/ box and all.. if there
is no one out there with any such items anymore, i saw someone a few
months back selling a bunch of them for like $300 or something, then i
will take one that is in "Very" good condition with little or no mods done
to it, if you have done the cell or the speedup mod thats fine, just no
adition's to the scanner other than that.  E-Mail me if you have any of
the above items...

Does anyone have any idea on the following issues??

1)  I have what I believe to be every MSP frequency in my BC3000XLT.  The
reception is terrible when there is radio traffic and I barely hear any
traffic to begin with.

2)  I have the 155.73 mobile extender freq. programmed.  Never hear a peep
on that channel.  What is this channel?  (I obviously know what it is - but
- do they use it?)

3)  Did MSP switch to 800 Mhz trunked as of this post?  If so, is there
parallel communications on 39.xxx?

Thanx,

Adam

> Hobbies: Life, puters, radio scanning  Keep in mind that about 2 years ago,
there was a major reorganization
of the 39 mhz freqs for MSP due to the release of the old Baltimore
County 39 mhz system (they are now on 800).  I haven't seen the Police
Call listing, but if they haven't updated their records, some of those
freqs are out of date.  Also I have hrd a little on 155.73 when traveling
up in Carroll county during the holidays, but it doesn't seem to be much
used.  Check the new Scanner Master for the correct bandplan.

I also have programed all of the MSP freqs. into both my Pro-26 and my
pro 2035, and hear hardly any traffic at all on those freqs. I got the
freqs from Police call plus and as far as I am aware of they are still

Check antenna, radio, location, in that order. :)

Where are you located? The barracks generally get out like gangbusters,
but without a decent low band antenna you might have difficulty hearing
units not nearby. I can report that I hear MSP mobile units between
5 to 10 miles from my house, even with my temporary indoor antenna
in the basement, so you should hear something unless you are located
in Outer Mongolia.

They use every time they get out of their cars. For practical reasons,
the
PAC-RT only puts out about 500 milliWatts, so you won't hear it unless
you are near it (hint, hint for drivers). There is a repeater in Salem
County, New Jersey with the most gawd-awful sounding squelch in the
universe.
Every time the band opens up they come booming in on 155.73 with their
obnoxious squelch tails chopping open and misaligned guard tone filters
tweeting away. Really awful! I expect that MSP uses a different
frequency
in the northeast corner of the state for this reason.

> parallel communications on 39.xxx?

The reason MSP are still on 39 MC is because they rejected a proposal to
switch to a statewide trunking system on 800 MC, thank goodness (sorry,
JMC).
The result is that we can still watch the watchers. It really is
"one kick-ass little radio system".

 Nope, the 800mhz plan has been sidetracked for now.  It may happen
but No current plans.

Combine all the previous posts with the fact that MSP uses mobile data
terminals and I think you get the picture...not much traffic to hear.

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone in Michigan, mainly in the tri-county
area, knows the frequency for the Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county
Medical Examiners? If so, please email me. I have been trying for a long
time to get them, and still not successful. Thanks.

I have a few in use for the PacNW but the refuleing freqs are in use  all
over.

My Minitor II works great. I am much happier with it than my old Minitor.
Also try some local radio repair shops. They might tell you where to get

Hope any of this helps

What would be the best glass mounted mobile  scanner antenna to buy?

I have a Pro 39 hand held and the rubber ducky does fair from inside the

Thanks!!

  ...They meant that in *your* state you don't apparently need to have a
ham license.  Elsewhere, scanners are always governed by that state's laws,
so yes, they may be different when you're in another state.

  However, in most states, scanners are not regulated.

  For a list of those states that DO have laws regulating scanners in some
way, including the actual text of the laws themselves and where they were
found, see:

            http://www.afn.org/~afn09444/scanner/scanlaws.html

  This page includes radar detector laws, too.

  It is always wise to check the laws regarding possession of scanners
and/or radar detectors ahead of time for the states you plan on travelling
through, so you don't run into possible trouble.

I own the Motorola Handi-com radios, similar to the Sport 10.  They are 2
watt radios.  Is it possible to boost the radio to transmit/receive more
than the 2-5 mile range?

        It is possible to get more than 2 to 5 miles.  You'll need to hook up your
radios to a base and/or a mobile antenna. From what I read, a 2 or a 4 watt
radio transmitting on a 4 story building gets better range than a 50 watt
mobile at ground level.

Hi!

I am thinking about purchasing two Motorola MX340's (2 channel UHF) used
to go along with my current Uniden GMR100's (8 channel UHF GMRS).  Does
anyone have any comments about the Motorolas?  Will these two radios
work together alright?

Please respondeby e-mail if possible!

Thanks in advance!

        They should work if the frequencies are the same.  How much money are you
looking to spend on the radios.  There's a site that sells the Maxdn 210+3
for 209. and they are 2 watts w/ repeater channel access.   His site is
http:/www.eskimo.com/~antenna/index.html.  Motorolas radios also look well
constructed.  There site is http:/www.mot.com/.

The MX340ÇS version is synthesised and the PROM or EEPROM codeplugs are
difficult to find (that's why you see these radios for $25-$100 at a
hamfest). If you purchase the S version make sure you also have codeplugs
and an R1800 available to burn them on. Crystals for the channel element
versions can be found from several sources. The MX-300 series are excellent
radios.

But the EEPROMS are still avaible from Mother Motorola.  At least
according the the new parts pricebook I just got....

What I have found is just no one wants to bother with programming them
anymore.

Yep they are.  Rock solid, made a good weapon, and worked forever!

Of course, I prefer my JT1000...(G)

I was discussing a couple of nights ago, the club repeater on the
campus, 440, that requires MDC to access.  what a great system!

Next time up there for school, I will have to remember to try it!

Hello All

Does anyone have any clues on keeping track of a conversation using
the trunking protocol MPT1327 ?

IS there a pattern to how it re-uses channels or other such simplistic
ways ?

Any help appreciated

In my truck, I have a scanner, 2 meter radio, CB and another radio. None
of them are really loud enough to hear using their own speakers. I was
wondering if it would be right to just connect all of their external
speaker jacks to one amplified speaker. Is this a problem?? If one had an
audio signal, will it be harmful to the other devices??

Thanks for any info!

Yes, you stand a very real chance of causeing damage.  You must
isolate the various outputs from each other.  A simple resistor array
will work.  For each device output, install a 600 ohm resistor in
series with the "hot side", and a 10 kohm or so from hot to ground
BEFORE (on the radio side of) the 600 ohm.  This is not the "best"
solution, but it should prevent accidental damage.

Mark

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

Amplified speaker is the keyword here, it has to have an amplifier
with a decently high input impedance.

> Is this a problem?? If one had an
> audio signal, will it be harmful to the other devices??

If you connect the signal sources together using summing resistors
then there should be no problem. What I mean is that you insert
a resistor between each source output and your amplifier input.
At the amplifier input they all come together.

If you put the resistors close to the amplifier you might even get
away with using unshielded cable. Try using 220 Ohm 1/4 Watt
resistors, I assume that the amplifier input impedance is not much
lower than 1000 Ohms.

If one of the sources comes through too loud then give that source a
higher value resistor. For a stereo source just use two resistors,
1 for each output, this will give you mono sound.
Or use stereo amplified speakers and give each mono source two
resistors, 1 to each amplifier input.

You might mount the resistors safely by putting them in heat-
shrinking tube, covering them and the solder connections.
Avoid the risk of short-circuits, some sources will be
destroyed by them, not to mention fire risk ...

Good luck,
Jeroen

Sonny:

Radio Shack has a nifty little speaker box with two 2" speakers and a
1/8" stereo jack on the bottom.  It is intended to plug in to a
Walkman-type device.

Consider mounting one or two of these on the left door post or above the

Also consider some sort of audio mixer to interface the four, or so,
speaker sources, since you DO NOT want to just twist them all together
for a single mini-plug input..... Radio Crap may have something to help
you there, too...  Ever consider a small 19" rack mount in the sleeper (I
hope this is an 18 wheeler with all this stuff).. Just kidding... ;-)

 The Sportcat SC150 has one priority channel in each of the 10 banks.
 It's originally set for the first channel in each bank, but it can
 to re-programmed to any channel in each bank.

I need some help. I am looking for a hand held scanner with multiple ( at
least five channels) prority channels. I use my Pro-43 at the races but
only one priority channel makes it hard to listen to more than one team. I
would like one that has very good adjacent channel rejection. My Pro-43
gets no bleedover and is an excellent scanner. But being that close
together with so many radios being used I need something that does away
with bleedover. Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I know, no such unit is made, simply because it defeats the
purpose of having a priority channel.  I would suggest putting htose 5
in a bank of their own.


Mark

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

I use the following methods at races to solve the problems you have:

#1 - Enter the teams that you really want to hear in more than one channel, th
at way the scanner will
naturally check that freq more often.

#2 - Remove the antenna.  I've been to many Winston Cup, Busch, and Supertruck
 races, and using NO antenna was
still able to hear the pace car at the farthest point away on a 2.5 mile track
 (Pocono).  This reduces the
sensitivity to a point where my radio becomes much more usable (BC-200xlt).
Another option is to pick up
one of those small, inline filters for the antenna.  9 times in 10, the bleedo
ver is due to MRN's UHF
rebroadcast of their national feed on 454.000.


Have fun,
Barry

I don't know of any current scanners that do this but the old BC-200XLT had
10 priority channels - the first channel in each bank was the priority
channel.

Most newer Uniden scanners SC 150, BC 220xlt,230xlt,3000xlt,890xlt,9000xlt hav
e
10 priority channels, still one priority per bank but any channel can be the
priority.

It is possible to Alpha Tag each memory channel with upto 9 characters !

Just took me until I saw the English draft manual before I managed to hit the
correct key...duh !

When a channel is manually recalled (with the Bandscope off) or when
scanning the Bank Name and Individual channel name alternatate on the
screen. You can just assign Bank names or Memory channels names if you wish.

Have to hunt for the RS232 Port and socket marked "Scout" now.....

I'd like to know who these other 2 channels talk to, since the portables
have only 5 according to this list. Guesses?

Besides, do they really use all of these?

I have always heard 154.445 used, but not the others. I imagine
they use the other ones near the South Carolina border, since they share
154.445 .

Hi Rick:

When I need a frequency for anything, I search the PerCon frequency
database.  The URL is www.perconcorp.com/db_srch.htm.
I did a search for Charlotte and Monroe for 900 mhz paging (radio code
GS) and found one frequency for A+ Communications:  929.0125.

Is there any way to unscramble 800Mhz frequencies on the Uniden SC150?

Or to automatically skip scrambled channels during scan?

 Does anyone know of a way to capture the electronic serial numbers
transmitted on the Motorola 800 mhz trunked systems. It seems we should
be able to capture the codes and then monitor for them by computer
using software controlled monitoring?

I'm tired of trying to monitor 20 differant frequencies individually.
Anyone know of a better way?

Sure,
You could find a real good friend who would lend you his $15,000 Motorola
trunking system analysis software and have a ball.  BTW you'll need a
radio, RIB, and cables to monitor the system.  Other than that you are
stuck listening to all 20 like I have to.

Here is another thought.  If you read the Police Call section on 800
trunking, Gene Hughes or whoever wrote that particular section says that
you should NEVER scan the mobile side of the communications, i.e., the 20
channels that "input" into the repeater, usually 45 Mhz (or whatever the
formula is) below the base frequencies.  I could not disagree more
strongly.

I have 2 banks reserved for the Baltimore County public safety trunk
system.  One bank of 20 is the base frequencies which, as previously
expounded upon, I must "scan & prey" that I hear the entire conversation.
However, I also have a bank for the mobile side of the conversation.  Thus,
at a nearby fireground scene or crime scene or whatever, I can hear units
talk to each other like a regular conversation and the other units in the
county are too far away to pick up so they do not "interfere".  The only
thing you will not hear is the dispatcher, but who cares, because the juicy
stuff is at the scene anyway.

- Just a thought.

I am getting ready to enter the freqs. into both my Pro2035 and Pro26,
for the Baltimore county MD. police and fire depts. I have got the
freqs. from Police call plus, but I am a little confused, as I have
never had to worry about trunked systems before untill moving to this
area.
When I look in the book the listings are as follows, a large selection
for dispatch,  another large section for vehicle repeaters, and then a
small listing for TRS: county police/fire. as this is a great deal of
freqs. I was wondering if all freqs. must be entered, or do I only
have to enter the repeaters and trunk freqs, or the dispatch and trunk
this is somewhat confusing to me, and I would really appreciate any
help or info that anyone can provide.
Thanks

I'm interested in how you just bought a "new" PRO-43 from Radio Shack. RS
hasn't been selling the PRO-43 for some time now and the last version they
were selling (PRO-43A) could *not* be modified for cellular using the
procedure you described.

Just to save some of you some needless work, you can determine if your
PRO-43 is modifiable by looking at the FCC ID number on the back plate. If
it reads: AA020-300, then it is modifiable. If the ID number ends with an
"A" (i.e. AA020-300A) then the unit is not modifiable for cellular. á

If you do have a modifiable unit, you can find a more detailed set of
modification instructions, with diagrams at:

There's also a new "toy" on the market in the U.S. called a Nextel
Dispatch Radio... It's a cell phone, pager, two-way.... and it's fully
digital. I just got some for my company last week, and so far they are
great. You can see them at www.nextel.com... or if you're in northern
california, contact the company that i got mine from (they have great

The teen thing is a V-Link phone, a kind of walkie talkie with multiple channe
ls & pl-tones.

Somebody recently posted the freqs for them here.  They have up to a 1000 ft r
ange according to an
FAO Schwartz catalog I have here.

They definitely are NOT PCS <G>.

There is no service provider involved.

  There's a new PCS-type system where you can do this, and prices are
comparable or better than for
POCS (plain old cellular service), yet I don't think the companies would
market this type of thing for teens yet.

They don't market pagers and cell phones for drug dealers either but it
is amazing how many teenage drug dealers and wannabes own them. It would
not surprise me to see a company finally crossing the line and marketing
a product like this for teens.

Wal Mart here has a stack of em' they cost 69 bucks, use either 4AA
batteries or a 28 dollar rechargeable pack, and look just like a mini
Motorola.  Although it is mostly kid oriented, having only a three or four
block range, it does a lot for the money.  The keypad and lcd are
functional, and it can be programmed to recognize a "phone number".  It
will "ring" by either beeping or vibrating when it hears it's number, so
they apparently all use the same call channel, which is, I understand, in
the 900 mhz range.  If you don't answer, it even stores a voicemail
message..why didn't they have this stuff when I was a....ah the heck with
it, I think I'll buy a couple anyway..

This is what the Nextel Rep told me:
Nextel is not owned by Motorola.
Nextel is a openly traded on Nasdaq as CALL.
Motorola sold their repeater sites to Nextel for stock options. As far
as I know it's only 30%.
All of the old Motorola sites will be converted to Nextel by Dec. 31
1996.

Hey, folx... I took a chance, and bought myself that $190 PRO-51 at Radio Shac
k.
My Impressions: I'm addicted... This is great.

The problem is, I have problems tuning into things, say for example I tried
hooking up to my own cordless phone - which was at about 149.9700. I was
surprised that the reception was awful, and sometimes I would blank or if
not squelched it would just fuzz.

The same problem goes for the cell image freqs, I seem to scan through a
bunch of them, but I never stay "locked" and stable to them. Am I doing
something wrong?? This really sucks, specially when it's really nice.

Also... If anyone is outthere for the Bay Area, please share some freqs
with me!

Thanks!!

If you tuned to 149.9700 MHz, you tuned to the 3rd harmonic
of your cordless phone.  Your phone is more likely transmitting
on 49.990 MHz, so listen there.

My info re SHP-NC freqs is about 4 yrs old.  Statewide CG tone for LB
channels
is 173.8 (Moto code 6A).  Confused about current channel plan for Troop G
(Ashe-
ville).  Used to be, some districts were 42.70/42.50 (Haywood, Madison,
Jackson)
others were 42.78/42.62 (Ch 1).  Then Buncombe was put on Ch 3
(42.80/42.52).
Lately have monitored in Asheville area 42.92/42.72 (old SBI pair?).
Anyone know if channel assignments have changed recently? Thanks,
[e-mail].

In the fall Hello Direct catalog there are two. A 900MHz digital from
Vtech that "digitally scrambles" which has Caller ID in the handset,
but for the number only, is shown on the cover. Then, there's another
900MHz digital non-spread spectrum phone from Pacific Bell on page 7
of the catalog that has full Caller ID capability in the handset. I
don't see any 900MHz spread spectrum or analog phones with Caller ID,
but there may be a more recent catalog. I can't look now or I'll wake
up my wife. 8-O The first phone is $300US, the second $250US, BTW.

You can get a catalog from Hello Direct by calling 1-800-444-3556 or
you can e-mail them at [e-mail] or go to their web site at:

    <http://www.hello-direct.com>.

I have no connection to Hello Direct other than as a paying customer.
Once, when I had a problem with them, I was treated as well as I ever
been by any other company.

Are you sure you mean Pro-50?  The Pro-50 is pretty new (although they
took it off the line at the end of the year), and gets no 800 mhz at all.
Maybe you mean Pro-51?

If you secure the "unlock code" it will; this code however is only
available "officially" to those who officially need it (but it has been
published on the Internet and in radio mags)

I was wondering if the Scout would be a worthwhile purchase.  One thing I am
interested in knowing about is the storing of frequencies.  If it catches a
frequency, does it automatically store it?  The problem I see here is in
cities where there are a lot of cell phones in use.  With around 800 cell
frequencies, the Scout could easily fil up its memory with just cell freqs.

Also, what about its sensitivity?  I understand for a freq to be recorded, it
must be 10 - 15 db above the background noise.  Does this mean the signal has
to be exceptionally strong, ie. do I need to be close to the transmitter (how
close?)

Thanks for your help.

Is anyone else out there using an Optolinx interface connected to a
AR2700 scanner.  If so, what software are you using?  I've tried
several and have found none that work well between the interface and
the scanner.  In fact, most don't work at all or just support some of
the features.  A Windows program would be more to my liking.

Any input would be appreciated, please reply via private e-mail.

Thanks,

Mark

I'm trying to get an Optolinx interface to work with PD (POCSAG
Decoder) software and am having no luck.  I've set the PD software to
input = dsr and I'm running it through a radio with a direct
discriminator connection.  Although I have not been using the squelch
status line to the Optolinx.

Power from the discriminator is 500 mVpp max at 10 k-ohms.

Has anyone had any luck using the data-slicer on the Optolinx.  Is
there other software available out there for it.  Like an ACARS
decoder or BayCom TNC-like software, or even a WeFax decoder?

If anyone has any helpful comments please contact me via private
e-mail.

Thanks,

Mark

Hello All,

I an sort of new to scanning.  Although I have had a Pro-2006 for
almost 5 years now the only thing I really listen to is the local
police, fire, casinos etc...  I am interested in learning of new freqs
or actually different ranges.  My uncle has a boat and has a radio, I
believe it is SideBand.  Anyway he goes out about 200 miles offshore
in the Atlantic Ocean and can communicate almost anywhere in the world
if the conditions are right, so he says.  But the freqs are in KHZ
instead of MHZ and they are single digits like 5784.0 Khz or something
to that affect.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Dennis

Your 2006 only goes as low as 25 MHz (25000 kHz).  You'll need a different rad
io to go
lower than that, such as a shortwave or one of the scanners that goes down to
100 kHz.

You'll also need a radio capable of single-side band reception, the 2006 won't
 do that either.

Check out rec.radio.shortwave for more info.

Have fun,
Barry

It isn't really a "mod".  The NFM Discriminator output is at IC-2, Pin 9 or
TP-2, take your pick.

BTW, you really should have the service manual if you legitimately wonder
about things such as this.  It will save you headache and grief, and answer
a lot of questions of this nature for you at the instant you wonder and look
it up. Manuals are available at:

You said: 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... I own a 2042...

Malex says: Yes, the 2042 is a vast improvement over the 2035, but come
on, the guy is saying he can buy the 2035 for $150. You can't beat that
with a stick!

I recently purchased a newer Pro 51 which I'm enjoying greatly. Out
of curiosity I tried to perform the keypad programming tricks to access
the full 800 mghtz and, as I suspected, Uniden has programmed around
this apparent loophole. I realize that there are no *easy* mods for this
unit, however, I'm wondering exactly how the manufacturer has locked out
the cell freqs. Is it done throught he programming of the main chip? Are
there capacitors or other board components which accomplish this? My
belief is that where theres a will theres a way, and I know there are a
lot of Pro 51 owners out there interested.
  I would appreciate any feedback form those folks with the know-how...

Thank You

This issue has been beat to death on here for over a year. the pro - 51 isn`t
CAPABLE
of recieving cell frequencies, period. It is lacking the necessary circuitry i
n the
radio. YOu could buy a converter and get the cell band, but by the time you ge
t done
paying for one, you could have bought a better scanner. My advice is, if you n
eed
cell capability, you are better off getting a good used pro 43, 2004, 2005, or
 2006.
The 2026 will do cell, also, althougth it runs on 12 volts.

Bob,
   The Pro-60 is a very nice unit. However, it is VERY overpriced
at it's normal retail $380. It was recently on sale for $250 and
is a very nice deal IMHO.
   This is the replacement for the venerable Pro-43. Has all the
same features and a few more. Also has wider receiver coverage
that includes FM radio and TV audio.
   Its biggest drawbacks are the 6 AA batteries it takes and
a display, that will larger than the 43, is still small as are
the buttons on the keypad. The backlight is just barely adequate.
   Other than that it is a great triple-conversion receiver
with pretty nice audio, 200 channels and programmable search
limits.
   Check out Radio Shacks's web page for a complete list of
their scanners and associated specs.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Hope you're not holdin' your breath.

The PRO-2003 is not capable of cellular reception nor other "extended
capabilities".  There are a lot of things that can be done to it, but
nothing of a digital nature.

According to Bill Cheek's post, the PRO-2003 cannot be modified to
"extend its capabilities" (I hope you're talking about 800 MHz)!
According to Bill:

"The TDDRA Act of 1994 expressly forbids the manufacture or importation
of "easily modified for cellular" scanners after April, 1994.
Manufacturers turned to putty and removed the cellular programming from
the scanners' CPUs altogether."

Hope this helps!

My pro2004 has been acting up lately. After ten minutes or so, the
display blanks out or sometimes everything on the display is lit up.
The backlight works fine. A few minutes after the display acts up, the
scanner acts like the antenna is disconnected. Squelch and volume
controls work but keyboard use doesn't work.

Am I looking at at repair or would a reset work?

Try the RESET; what the heck?  It's free.  If no workie, then an excerpt
from my FAQ is included below that addresses a possible issue more
succinctly.

COMMtronics Engineering

===========================================================================
Copyright (c) 1996 Bill Cheek <All rights reserved>

034: My PRO-2004 has problems, first mild and now severe.  It
     has been repaired several times.  Can it be fixed?

    There is a distinct possibility your PRO-2004 has problems
    with defective solder joints.  Back in 1986, there was a
    production run of the PRO-2004 manufactured with a defective
    wave soldering machine.  At first, it was only marginally
    defective, but it worsened and degraded with time.

    The result, by the time the malfunctioning machine was
    discovered, was that many defective PRO-2004's had been shipped
    to market.  Some immediately failed within the warranty period
    and were repaired or replaced.  Others didn't fail until after
    the warranty expired, and were either repaired or junked.  Some
    didn't fail for years.........

    Failures appear to come in waves.....periodic rashes.  Defective
    solder joints are a serious problem, because the radio can be
    fixed only to the extent that it is broken.  Repaired solder
    joints today have no bearing or relationship to those headed for
    failure in a week, a month, or a year.  There is no economical
    way to repair them all in one fell swoop.  A PRO-2004 with
    defective solder joints is very likely to develop more problems
    with the passing of time.  There can be no guarantees against
    subsequent related or unrelated failures.

There's a good chance a PRO-26 at your location would experience image
interference on the VHF-high band from pagers in the 900 MHz range.

I recommend you consider the Bearcat BC3000XLT instead.
Both are triple conversion, but the BC3000XLT has better image
rejection than the PRO-26 I reviewed.


From the FAQ:

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


PRO-26: 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.

I've always enjoyed your posts and reviews.

I've got a Pro-2006 that is prone to intermod from 900 Mhz pagers in
the VHF-hi band, especially around 154-157 Mhz.

Have you come up with any solutions, like filters or in-line traps
that would help this situation? So far, the only solutions I have
found are; 1. an inline attenuator (-3db) this cuts out most of the
intermod yet is not as severe a loss of signal as the -10db switch on
the back of the rig. 2. Less antenna.  Neither solution are perfect,
so I wonder if you have any other ideas.

Thanks,

-Larry



I've heard a number of people on this newsgroup and others with this
problem.

Thanks,

-Larry

Try a low-pass filter. You can find tables in the ARRL manual to
give you the values of inductors and capacitors. They are easy
to build and only cost a few bucks.
I greatly improved the reception on my Pro-2037 by building
a highpass filter that attenuates below 120 Mhz. It beats using
the attenuator because you don't attenuate the band you
want to hear.

Paul

The Po-37 is the last of the Great handheld radios. It is directly
related to the Pro-2006. By theory anything that can be done on the
2006 can alsobe done on the Pro-37. The CPU is the exact as the 2006,
but only half of the cpu is used. So again if you wanted the MEGA
scanner you could have up to 12,600 channels as that is half of the
total that a 2006 can be brought up to. If you would like to sell it
let me know.

  This is how to reset it. I hope that's what you're looking for...
To reset the scanner, hold down both CLEAR and 0(zero), and turn on the power.

Can anyone point me towards modifications to restore 800 covergae to the

it although it seems to drain batteries fairly quickly.

Jack,
It very much depends on the date code of manufacture.  Late in 95 RS
changed the chip on the 43 and did not tell anyone. They did this to
comply to new federal laws on Cell Phone scanning.  So, there are
really two models of Pro-43. One that does all 800 MHz and one that is
blocked in cell range by the chip. Replacing the chip is not like an
easy task and is way beyond a typical mod.
They all chew batteries quickly - mine will go about 20 hours on a
set.

Mark D

Huh?  The PRO-43 uses EEPROM memory.  There are no 'trickle batteries'.
You sure it's a PRO-43?

I have one of the older (pre 4/94) models.  There are instructions on
how to modify this one to unblock certain frequencies if desired.
I found them by searching altavista for "PRO-46"
The best one (IMHO) is at zianet.com.  Look around, lottsa neat stuff
there.

I just bought a used Pro-51 with the date code 7A4 Serial # 45,###,####
Yes thats 45 million. My question is this:

Its supose to be modable for the 800 MHZ band buy using the keypad mod.
(Hold 2, 9, Lockout and turn the scanner on.)
Well I have done this and nothing happens. I know I am doing it right!
Is this one that was recalled and fixed before it was sold because the
FCC found out that the mods were too easy? It still picks up cell phones
in the hi 800 and low 900 MHZ region but I had hoped it would load the
test freqs so I could use it where it counts.
I hate images!

I sure am glad I have my trusty PRO-43!

Thanks and please E-mail the reply to me.

Know of any mods for the pro51?  Recently purchased one but can't get
anything from 868 - 896 MHz.  The keypad mod (2,9,lockout while turning on)
did not seem to work.

Do you mean NOTHING, or does SOMETHING happen(but not the desired thing)?
There is a fix in either case, but if nothing happens at all, you need to
open it up!

Let me know, and I'll post the details for what ever mod needed.

Problem has been solved! I had to put it in the test(keypad mod) mode
for the display and then do the (keypad mod) for the test frequencies.
Thanks to the guys that told me this.

Very good word Marty! Maybe I should have used that one. "Ommited."
Thought it was the same thing. As I told Bill, I'm new to this. (Didn't
know did ya!) Thing is, is there anything in the "Ommited" areas that I'm
missing? Is there any traffic there? Just feel like I'm missing something.

Cellular is not "blocked" in that scanner.  It isn't there to be blocked.
You can't unblock what isn't blocked.  You can't get blood out of a turnip.

The PRO-62 is a nice scanner, but you can't get cellular from it.  Unless
you would be satisfied with the "virtual downconversion" method, that is....
a most displeasing, unsatisfactory method.  I can't help you with that, but
I'm sure someone can.

Otherwise, the PRO-62 is capable of many other mods, depending on your
interests, energy level, basic savvy, etc.

I'll handle this one, Bill.

What he said is that that scanner DOES NOT HAVE CELL FREQUENCY
CAPABILTIY.  Never had it, never will.  It probably doesn't receive 20
meters or AM broadcast, either.  No amount of diode clipping will
"restore" something that was never there in the first place.

Some scanners have the electronic capablility to receive cellular, but
have had access to that block of channels blocked by various means for
sale in areas where such listening is illegal.  Some such scanners can
be easily modified to restore those channels.  Others cannot be
modified without major modifications or chip changes, etc.  The Pro-62
is NOT one of those that can be readily modifed, is what Bill told
you.  That's because it wasn't designed with those capabilities in the
first place.

It's similar to removing a governor from a high-powered car to make it
go faster.  If the car doesn't have the big engine to begin with, it
doesn't have or need a governor to remove.  It won't go faster without
major modifications.

If you're smart enough to rebuild your scanner to make it receive
cellular, you're smart enough not to have to ask these questions.
There it is, in plain English.

Now please back off, before we get another flame war going in here.

There isn't currently a demo available, but I know that the author is
looking into how to make that available.  I think he knows that he'd
really open up the market by doing so, but so far he's mostly interested
in concentrating on how to make the software better, rather than how to
cripple it for demonstration versions.

The cost is a bit steep, but to be honest, I really think he could
charge well over a thousand for it given the vertical market into which
it resides...it's a small club of people use use a OS and a Radio shack
scanner...but the software really really really makes that scanner
shine.

After using Probe for a few days, the first thing that I felt about
these other software packages was that they tried *too* hard to make the
software look just like the front panel of the scanner...they had
rotating knobs, big displays...took up your whole Windows interface just
to get all the windows up for basic scanning.

What you have to consider is exactly what you want out of computer
controlled scanning.  For me, it was the ability to scan a wide range of
frequencies under various circumstances, quickly.  The "group" concept
that Probe uses means that each "group" has its own personality, it's
like having an entirely different scanner.  I have one group which has
all the frequencies in my county seperated by their service code as
imported from the Spectrum CDROm, another group just for my local town,
another which is my "all cape" version that has things like all police
and all fire and all businesses for a wider range than the county, and
so on.  Couple that with remarkable scanning speed (I'm currently at
about 75 channels per second, and am about to increase this) and you've
got one heck of a powerful piece of software.

You really really don't need that windows interface, keyboard commands
work so quickly and you end up needing the keyboard for frequency input
anyway that if you need to make changes to the databases its faster to
keep your fingers all in one place on the keyboard.

And as I mentioned, the most amazing bit was the company itself...really
incredible to have someone give presales support these days!!

Yup, I'll keep this in mind and report back in a while.  I'm about to
get a pentium pro machine and will still be running probe in a dos
window...

I recently got a Kenwood TH28a, I get the 118-136 rx, I get 136-173mhz,
and only 438-450mhz. I have tried the function key/Low to switch bands
but its ext.receive is short. I need it to go as high as 480mhz.

No diodes have been cut yet, I checked. 15,14 are empty, 12-8 are
intact.

Do I need to cut out #9 for ext. UHF receive?

DO NOT REPLY WITH 2 YEAR OLD TEXT FILE, WITH BULLSHIT ANSI GRAPHICS.

I have the file. Not to mention 14 copies from people who didn't take

If you do not own a Kenwood TH28a then do not respond!

If you do own a kenwood TH28a & you have done the above modification
can you answer the question for me? It only requires a "yes" or "no"
answer.

Well, , , I have a pro-30 that I use for certain (changeling)
frequencies. It's a 16 channel machine and I paid about $35 for it
over a year ago. It's not magic, but it does work.  No, I don't
think there are any mods out there for these old machines, but
maybe someone more knowledgeable could answer that question.

It says it has 10 channels and it covers groups of freqs up to the mid
500's what is it worth and is it modifiable to pick up cellular etc?
If it is what is the process to do so and what parts would I need.

Keypunches, no.

66-88 MHz after adding a diode, yes.  Cellular restoration after removing a

Can anyone please recommend what technical specification(s) I should look
for when purchasing a scanner so that I will not have (very much)
intermod interferance?  That was a major problem with my old RS-PRO42
(please don't laugh).  And when looking at that specification, would a
higher or lower number be better?

Also, when watching those police shows like "COPS" and "LAPD", what are
the beeps repeated before/after they transmit on their radios?

Thanks,
Stuart

Hand Held scanners will allway have more intermod then a base scanner,
because base scanners have more room inside for better filters.

The tones that you hear befor the cops talk on there radios are called
MODET TONES, the system works like this, each time a cop key up his
radio the tone burst is sent, the dispatcher in the radio room at the
cop station gets a number on the computer showing the radio that is
transmitting at that time. Help's them know who is who.

Don't feel bad.  I have a PRO-33.

The tones and beeps can be a couple of things.  Some radios can be
programmed to beep when the PTT is keyed so user knows he pushed it.  We
often program that feature into radios so the user hear it if they
accidently sit on the radio in a vehicle or something.  Some of our
radios have encryption capabilities and the tone when you key the PTT is
a warning that you are NOT secure.

Other tones, like the fast sequences that sometimes sound almost
musical, are for activating repeaters or remote controlled base
stations, etc.

Not sure who to ask, but you people seem  like you are knowledgable in
this area.
Regarding cell phone lay out.
For the wireline and non-wire line systems,  there are 21 channels named
1a, 1b, 1c...7a, 7b, 7c.

Since there are 7 distinct "cells"  Do the channels exactly correspond
to the cells for both systems?
Example:

Cell 1 has channels 1a, 1b, 1c for wireline, 1a, 1b, 1c non-wireline
Cell 2 has channels 2a, 2b, 2c for wireline, 2a, 2b, 2c non-wireline
Cell 3 has channels 3a, 3b, 3c for wireline, 3a, 3b, 3c non-wireline
Cell 4 has channels 4a, 4b, 4c for wireline, 4a, 4b, 4c non-wireline
Cell 5 has channels 5a, 5b, 5c for wireline, 5a, 5b, 5c non-wireline
Cell 6 has channels 6a, 6b, 6c for wireline, 6a, 6b, 6c non-wireline
Cell 7 has channels 7a, 7b, 7c for wireline, 7a, 7b, 7c non-wireline
Cell 1 has channels 1a, 1b, 1c for wireline and non-wireline (6 total)

or are they mixed up i.e.
Cell 1 has channels 3a, 1b, 3a for wireline and
Cell 1 has channels 3c, 4b, 1c for non-wireline (6 total)

Milo,
   The Pro-51 is a very nice radio. It's Uniden counterpart
would be the BC220/230XLT. With the advent of the 230, I've
seen the 220 at $200 closeout prices. The 220 has better
audio quality and volume than the 51 and allows ten(?)
frequencies to be locked out during a search. The Pro-51
uses AA battereis whereas the 220 uses a ni-cad. The 220
has data skip(not really that useful), ten priority
channels and will scan faster. Other than that, I believe
these radios are nearly identical.
   Both are double-conversion scanners so be wary if you
live in a high RF area with lots of towers transmitting
to pagers and cell phones. If so, plan on getting lots
of images if you listen to 150/160MHz or 800MHz activity.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

        if you want to go with a rs scanner, i definitely recommend
        the pro-51.  the pro-62 is also on sale (or at least it was
        last time i checked).  these two are practically the same
        scanners with a efw minor differences, one being that the
        62 is triple conversion and the 51 is dual.  i have the 51
        and like it thoroughly.

I added a small, base loaded CB antenna to my RS discone.  It was a
makeshift (cobby?) add-on that didn't do much for the antenna.

I recently installed a Sireo (sp?) discone that is better built and
seems to receive better then the RS discone at the low frequencies
(25-100 MHz).

Those antennas use the angled rods which travel downward as the
radials, and the smaller horizontal rods as the radiators.  If you add
a vertical rod to the top of the assembly it does not have a ground to
react against, insomuch as the vertical part would be conductive to
the horizontal parts, therefore, no ground plane.  Even if the
vertical part is 1/4 wave at your desired freq., it still has a
terrible vswr.  You would be wise to use the antenna as it was
designed for higher freqs., because even the ones with the vertical
rod added for marketing advantages don't work as advertised.  Try a
commercial Cushcraft Ringo type antenna for low band, cut it per
Cushcrafts chart and it really works well.

Those antennas use the angled rods which travel downward as the
radials, and the smaller horizontal rods as the radiators.  If you add
a vertical rod to the top of the assembly it does not have a ground to
react against, insomuch as the vertical part would be conductive to
the horizontal parts, therefore, no tuned ground plane.  Even if the
vertical part is 1/4 wave at your desired freq., it still has a
terrible vswr.  You would be wise to use the antenna as it was
designed for higher freqs., because even the ones with the vertical
rod added for marketing advantages don't work as advertised in my
exprerience.  There is the added possibility that the vertical
addition detunes the antenna from what it was designed to do.  Also,
the longer downward angled rods are not long enough for the vertical
element to utilize as a ground, again, no tuned ground plane.  If you
could make the vertical element a full wave it might work, but that is
not practical because it would be around 25 feet, even matching a 1/2
wave element with a balun leaves you at 12 feet, not practical in a
high wind. Try a commercial Cushcraft Ringo type antenna for low band,
cut it per Cushcrafts chart, and it really works great, and under
$100.00.

  I saw it in a magazine quite awhile ago and it seems to me you had to
change the bolt at the top then install on of those 3/8 conectors that
are used for HF mobile anteneas then install a short 3 or 4 foot cb whip
on it.

I couldn't find this in the last decade's QST Magazines...anyone else
have a source for the Radio Shack Discone Mod? (I sure remember reading
it somewhere, too...).

Of course, the Diamond discone comes with the top element that enables
low-band reception already....

There is a 5/16" stud atop the RS discone.  Fit any antenna there for an
improvement in the bandwidth, but the best and cheapest would be a CB
antenna, cut down to say 50 MHz or so.  A base loaded whip would be fine,
but so too would a stainless steel 9-ft whip...cut in half, or so.

It's the same on that Hello Direct offers-2 lines, number only ID,
speakerphone in the base.  I've had one for about 6 months, and it works
great-good range, although it isn't spread spectrum, great audio, and
exceptional battery life.
BTW, this in regards to the question regarding who has 900mhz phones with

I was one of those people who gave a negative posting.  I use the search
feature almost everyday to find new military air and government
frequencies.  It is a real pain in the ass to come home and sort through
everything it found while you were gone, and check each new frequency with
the ones you already have to find duplicates and noisy frequencies.  Plus,
not being able to lock-out noisy frequencies and birdies is pretty
pathetic.  The spinach green backlight reminds me of a few excessive beer
drinking nights.  I felt ripped off when I paid $400 and discovered these
glitches.

Now, for $225, it is not too bad of a deal.  But, it still makes me
immensely happy to know I bought a better one, PRO-2042, for only $125
more.  Unless Radio Shack or someone else comes out with one I like better,
I will keep this scanner forever.

The PRO's (2004, 2005, 2006, 2035, & 2042) are made by GRE, not JRE.

A friend has a PRO-2006 that he no longer uses and is wondering if
there is a demand for it somewhere out there. If he were to sell it,
what should he ask for it?

It works like a champ, but the case is a little beat (nothing serious,
just scratches, etc) from using it in his car, he has his name
engraved in the side of the case, and the original telescoping antenna
is gone. Original box, docs, and cigarette lighter cord included.
Modified for full 800MHz coverage. Any ideas or offers?

Hallo Netzgemeinde

Ich hoffe,das ich hier in dem Richtigen Brett Schreibe,wenn nicht
Bitte ich um Entschuldigung.

Aber nun zum Grund:
Wie ich im Videotext und in der INFOSAT gehlesen habe,ist der
gute alte Piratensender : RADIO CAROLINE wieder auf Sendung. :-)))))))
Ferner schrieb die INFOSAT soll CAROLINE wohl auch bald ⁿber
Eutelsat zu h÷ren sein.
Hat hier jemand schon mehr darⁿber geh÷rt ? z.b.:Wo man CAROLINE
Empfangen kann,oder hat es jemand in den letzten Tagen selber schon
geschafft den Sender zu h÷ren ?
Ich wⁿrde mich ⁿber jede weitere Info Freuhen.Da die Piratensender seit
Anfang der 60`er Jahre eins meiner Hobbys ist,und ich auch Jingles und alles
andere ⁿber Piratensender Sammel.
Oder kann mir jemand ein Brett sagen,wo man special ⁿber Piratensender
Diskutieren kann ?

▄ber Antworten auch gerne in meine PM wⁿrde ich mich ECHT freuhen. :)

Die haben meines Wissens immer mal ein wenig auf Kurzwelle gesendet.
So eine Art Servicewelle fuer London, Verkehrsberichte etc.

Massig Piratensender solls in USA geben, die wohl auch etwas vom
allgemeinen Widerwillen gegen die Bundesregierung bzw. FCC profitieren.

Es gibt eine spezielle Newsgroup ueber Piratensender, musst Du mal
mit grep nach suchen.

Das hatte ich gerade in der mailbox:

        It appears to me that radio piracy is no longer a trivial concern
to the FCC as they are unable to enforce their rules.  Unlicensed
stations are popping up all over the country, and the FCC has not yet
(as far as I know) been successful in shutting the stations down.  One
local pirate station was shut down after an amateur radio operator
complained of harmonic interference.  The pirate station added a
harmonic filter, verified with the amateur operator that the
interference was no longer present, and went back on the air.  This
particular station is interesting in that they are the only station in
the area that broadcasts the city council meetings.

Woher kommt eigentlich der Name des Senders? Hat der was mit dem

War das nicht urspruenglich der Name von dem Schiff, von dem am Anfang

Der Name des Senders entstand durch die Tochter von J.F.Kennedy.
Der Erste Chef des Senders war ein AnhΣnger von J.F.K.
Die Pop-Band: "The Fourtounes" hatten Anfang der 60`er einen Song
geschrieben mit dem Titel CAROLINE.Dieser Titel war eben fⁿr die Tochter
geschrieben.
Die Macher vom Sender wahren von dem Song begeistert und haben deshalb
auch gleich ihrem Sender den Namen gegeben.
Radio Caroline fing Ostern 1963 an zu Senden.Aber im laufe der Jahre
mu▀ten sie ÷fter mal aufh÷ren,entweder wegen Geldmangel,oder das Schiff
die "Galaxi" wurde im Sturm im Englischen Kanal so stark BeschΣdigt
das ein weiter Senden nicht m÷glich war.Dann Ende der der 60`er Jahr
kamm auch ein Anti-Piraten-Gesetz,das jegliche Unterstⁿtzung ob mit
Lebensmittel oder Treibstoff und auch keine Werbung von der die Sender
Gelebt haben,Verboten wurden.
Im laufe der Jahre haben es aber die Betreiber immer wieder Geschafft
einige Zeit zu Senden.

Wenn Interesse besteht kann ich weitere Infos liefern.Bei Anfrage auch
Original Soundsamples des Senders.Oder anderer Piratensender.

It is worth keeping, but I don't know what modifications
you have in mind.  It won't cover 800 MHz.

While programming a frequency into the M400 (or most any
other American-made Regency scanner of that era), press
the decimal point just before the first frequency digit.
The firmware will not check for out-of-bounds.
You can also cut a jumper inside most models to circumvent
the bounds checking.


From the FAQ:

M400: 30 channel replacement for K500.  Service Search,  but
no aircraft. Easily programmable out of band. Built in clock
when radio off or in manual mode. Backlit keyboard good  for
night  viewing  and mobile use but generates RFI into nearby
SW receivers. A favorite.

K500: Nice wood-like cabinet.  40 channel model  with  every
feature  Regency  could  dream  of  in  one  scanner, except
aircraft band. Idle tone bypass  feature  for  mobile  phone
stations works about 50% of the time. Weather alert feature.
Service Search in several banks. Search and  Store  facility
not  implemented  as  well  as  BC250, but better than none.
Built in clock when radio off or  in  manual  mode.  Can  be
programmed   out   of   band.  Reasonable  performance,  but
sensitivity could be better.  Spring  contacts  on  membrane
keyboard may need soldering after prolonged use.

I've had the pleasure of putting the new RELM HS 200 hand held scanner
to the test this last week or so, with a demo being sent to me by my
friend Jeff Libermann at THE HAM STATION in Evansville, Indiana.

I must say that I am totally impressed by this scanner, and at an
average selling price of $250.00, it is a great buy as well.

This scanner is extremely senstitive, in fact, the most sensitive of
any hand held scanners or amamteur HTs I own.  It works fine with the
rubber duck antenna supplied, picking up stations my other scanners
require a topside discone to do.  The audio is crisp, clean, and LOUD,
with a tight, short squelch tail.

The PL / DPL works flawlessly on the radio, and at a scan rate ot 100
CPS, the scanner does not stop and sample freqs and tones while
scanning, unlike earlier tone capable scanners.

Ten banks, twenty channels per bank, a comfortable arrangement for
hand held scanning.

The radio is easy to use and program, even the search function is
simple.  A novice could give the manual one reading and run the
scanner without  a problem.  You can lock out 100 annoying freqs
during search.

The scanner will detect a duplicate frequency, and alert you to the
fact, in a sensible, simple fashion.

In the NYC RF rich environment, I was not hampered by excessive
intermod, and the cell images in the 800 public safety band are
minimal.  When scanning with the PL / DPL functions active, I was not
plagued by intermod problems AT ALL.

I would've preferred two power inputs, ala the Pro-43, etc..one for
AC, and the other for battery charging.  I wish the lamp would stay on
for more then 3 seconds, and they would've scored the squelch and
volume knobs so you know where you're at!  These are the only flaws I
could find in an otherwise excellent scanner.

They provide a metal belt clip, as opposed to the flimsy plastic ones
found on some other scanners.

Apparently, RELM took what it learned from making commercial grade
radios of late, and tried to incorporate these points in this scanner
offering, which is apparenlty made by YUPITERU.

For $250.00 you get a GREAT hand held scanner, a functional rubber
duck antenna, the AC power supply/charger, the clip, a strap, and
instruction manual.  The scanner uses 4 standard AA Alkaline or Ni_cad
batteries.  Real good value in a scanner.  Apparently RELM has been
listening to some scanner users.

I understand a mobile version is due out soon as well.

I would like to thank Jeff at THE HAM STATION, 1-800-729-4373 for
providing this demo unit to review...I think I'm gonna keep this one!

Thanks for the mini review. I ordered one about two weeks ago, but it

First off, I picked up a Yaesu FT50 with the program cable. Does
anyone know if you can use the cable with a POCSAG decoder which
requires I believe discriminator output on a COM port through one of
the pins??
Second.. I just picked up my HS-200 so I have 2 new toys to play
with.. The HS-200 is nice. VERY nice. Freq. entry is cool, enter the
freq, enter, channel #, enter, and, if you want, enter, the pl/dpl,

selectivity is incredible. We generated a carrier via IF on 470 in the

Light only on for 3 seconds (That seems long? Count 1.2.3.)
No "CHANNEL 33" ala bearcat 200/100, if you enter a dup freq.
Annoying keypad beep for every keypress, can't find a way to turn off
yet.

Evan,

I've heard that the cell images in the 800 public safety band are a
real pain, as well as intermod up there...

Compared to intermod I get with a BC220XLT, the HS-200 is far cleaner on
800MHz. Plus, you get up to 100 lockouts with the RELM. In addition, by using
PL/DPL you can have pretty clean Scans of 800MHz freqs. The radio DOES have
duplicate channel checking ala Unidens; I don't know why Evan didn't notice th
at.

I just bought one from a Radio Shack Surplus store. I
tried to un-block the cell band with directions for the
BC 890xlt. It didn't work.
  The radio is too sensitive for a city (like here in Hou, Tx) But in
the country it should work excellent.

I just found out my girlfriend has a Radio Shack PRO-41 scanner.  It
seems pretty basic and I haven't been able to catch much (Toronto) other
than taxi dispatchers.  Is the stock antenna(sp?) the problem?  Is there
a simple homebrew I could do for an antenna?
  I don't suppose this thing is modifiable to the 800 range?  All the
police stuff here is in that area.

Thanks for any insight folks,

So, please tell me what page we can order the 2004 keyboard off of the RS
catalog....

Because last time I checked for one.....they were long out of stock (and
that's been a *long* while since I checked).

No membrane, no front panels, no keyboard PCB, zilch, zero, zip, and nada.

Hi Paul, I read your post and if it's only the keyboard itself that you
want, I can help with the parts info.

I've replaced the one on my 2004 when it became a problem, some keys
seem to have lost their touch and it took several pushes to make them
work.

RS stock # XB1572, $31.16 as of October '96. This is the assembly
beneath the pad itself, the push buttons, the circuit board, the CN 502
connector, and the shield. nothing else included.

If you have the service manual it's on page 55, ref # 49, PCB Ass'y,
Keyboard. It's listed there with a MFR'S part # of GA-86D-6320.

RS parts 1-800-442-2425. Remember to go with a ground carrier, USPS, it
gets there quicker as a rule and it's cheaper than UPS.

Regards,
LGS

Tandy supports their products for a period of five years after a unit goes
off sale.  At the five year point, they wrap it up and call the party over.

I haven't check this out, but you could try contacting GRE-America, a
subsidiary of GRE-Japan, the maker of the PORO-2004, and ask about parts
resources.  One thing that is continually needed is the EL panel.  But you
can't get 'em from Tandy anymore, and the replacements for the PRO-2005/6
are too small to make a good appearance and fit in the 2004.

Maybe GRE-America would have some ideas.

I don't know where fontbonne.edu is and I'm too lazy to look it up :),
but you've got to specify what "SWAT team" you're talking about.

Here, the TAC team uses the regular police channels for the most part,
going only to 'coded' frequencies (ie. scrambled) when actually operating
where scanning/overhearing could affect the outcome of the call.

The official word from the Police Department, City of New York's Legal
Bureau by way of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information's Office
that when a recognized member of the media is using a scanner or radio
with police frequencies they are using it under the authority of "Official
Police Purposes" as directed by the N.Y.C.P.D.   These people are subject
to criminal charges if they are charged with the use of  scanner while in
progress of committing a crime, or the intent to commit a crime.  When the
 radios are being used in the capacity of gathering news Members of the
Accredited Media may not transmit without prior authorization, if
authorization is ever given, and may not interfere with operations, but
any information gained from the radio frequencies maybe used in news
articals and or maybe used and acted upon for the purposed of news
gathering, either written, verbal, visual, or broadcast.

Members of the media are not to interfere with police and or emergency
personnel, and are at no time to engage in a pursuit at anytime, they are
to listen and head to the finish of the pursuit.

Accredited Media Personnel with recognized Media Credentials (
department's honour other department's identification) are acting under
"Official Police Business" when crossing police and fire lines with their
own assumed risk, and liability.

This information comes from the N.Y.C.P.D. D.C.P.I., at 1 Police Plaza,
Manhattan.


Thought you might like the official work from the world's largest police
department (at 39,000 uniformed officers, at last count I have on file in

Good point. Contact your local PD and ask if they have a ride
along program. Many cities do. They won't take you into danger,
but you will get the feel of it.

I do not believe this story, period.  Any cop I know would have arrested this
person in a heartbeat on some trumped-up charge.  They would make it their
life's work to squash this bozo.

I showed the posting to a police officer friend of mine,  In Kentucky, this
person could be charged with:

- Obstruction of justice.
  Establishing intent would be trivial
- Using a communications receiver to commit a crime.
  Ham license or not, you can't use it for this kind of stuff.
- Wanton endangerment.
  He endangered the officer's life.  Their word against yours.
- Interfering with a police investigation or operation.
  Again, establishing intent is trivial.  He admitted as much when he
  was mouthing off to the officer.

Those are just the ones he could come up with off the top of his head.  He
assured me that they would easily get convictions on all of these charges.
These are all felonies since police officers are involved.  He also did not
believe that the guy was not arrested.

Simple advice from an actual cop: DON'T DO THIS. You WILL be arrested.

Cops really won't take this well.  Remember, out there on the street, you are
playing by their rules.  Any court case is going to end up being your word
against theirs.  The court will not take your side in something like this.  If

you want this changed, get involved in politics.  Pursue legal means.  Do not
go out and take on the cops yourself.  You could be arrested, injured or even
killed.  It happens every day.

Don't become an "accident" or "tragedy".

I missed the original post on the request for San Jose area Frequencies.
The post that RA Green did was mostly correct, but there are a few
additions/corrections.

My Department Web site has the most up to date and current listing of
Public Safety Frequencies for Santa Clara County.  You can find the
listing at:

http://CLARAWEB.CO.Santa-Clara.ca.us/sheriff/sccfreq.htm

I hope this information is helpful.

I know that you can purchase books that list the freq. for city/state
gov. etc. but does anyone know of 1. a computerized version that can
sort by freq. to tell me who is using a particular freq. or 2. a book
that is sorted by freq. vs location?

Any info would be help full.. Thanks

The Spectrum database CD by PerCon is a good product.  I do not like
the interface to I exported the freqs for my area to a spreadsheet and
now I can sort them as I please.  Also the Radio Shack Police call
book has both sorted by area and in the back by freqs.

I don't understand what you're looking for?

If you already got 31 replies, then you should have your answer!

If you're interested in viewing the 31 replies, then I suggest you go
to www.dejanews.com and run a Power Seach for "SCANNER ACTION BUSTS"
with a filter of rec.radio.scanner.

Hi Tony,

I had an account with AOL earlier in the year and finally cancelled it
because they're USENET Feed kept falling over.  The outbound Posts where
getting there, but I was unable to see them from within AOL News reader.

Anyway, you can always use DEJA News to Browse and Post to a USENET
news group. Their URL is http://www.dejanews.com

You can also use Zippo USENET Service to Browse and Post to a USENET
news group. Their URL is http://drn.zippo.com

 The Zippo URL for rec.radio.scanner is:

   http://drn.zippo.com/news-bin/wwwnews?rec.radio.scanner

 The Zippo URL for alt.radio.scanner is:

   http://drn.zippo.com/news-bin/wwwnews?alt.radio.scanner

 The Zippo URL for alt.radio.scanner.uk is:

   http://drn.zippo.com/news-bin/wwwnews?alt.radio.scanner.uk

Hope this Helps!

Bob

I have a Radio Shack pro 39, and installed a roof top Radio Shack antenna.
There is no comparison between the rubber ducky and the roof top antenna.
Yes, the roof top antenna will make a BIG difference in your reception.

Hope this helps.

Yes, they have created computer interfaces for some of the scanners, most nota
bly the
Pro - 2004/2005/2006 series, as well as most of the AOR scanners, ect. About 1
50
bucks, and they will do just about everything but cook breakfast. You will nee
d
software to run the interface, but you can download that for free off the inte
rnet.
     These come in real handy when, for instance, you have to do some work on
the
scanner and you don`t want to sit there after you get done and punch in 400
frequencies !!! (or 64,000, depending on just how "modified" your 2005/2006 is
!)

The 8000 clip will fit onto something called the "Clip Mount." this is a
plastic device that sticks to smooth surfaces via double backed tape.

Call 1-800-the-clip to find out if someone locally has one. Cost is
about $4.95.

I have mounted a small plastic electrical junction box, using a cable tie
wrap, on one of the dashboard vents. It holds a notepad, pencil, BC3000
and I can clip my FT-50r to it. The DC cigarette power cords route
through the punchouts on the bottom. Not elegant but functional.

        me for about 20 bucks, but i'd like to know that there's

The Radio Shack covers are really nice, and worth it.  They are soft,
glove-leather, and fit "skin tight"  They are black, and really will make
your Pro-51 look super nice.

I have one, and am glad I bought it.  It came from Tandy's Texas wharehouse,
and arrived in about 2 days.

It's well worth it.

Tony...

When, in a previous life, I was a television street reporter, chasing the
PD and ferretting out crime and/or evil on the streets of the city, the
po-leece had a saying that fit your situation: "You might beat the rap,
but you can't beat the ride."

Often they'd encounter a citizen who by-God knew his rights and had firm
ideas on exactly how the knights in blue ought to go about their business,
and wasn't reluctant to inject himself and his rights/ideas into their
business, which seldom was any of his. If he insisted on becoming a part
of their business, they'd often put him under arrest for failure to move
on when ordered, failure to identify himself when ordered, or interfering
with a police officer. Eventually, he probably would beat the rap, but in
the meantime, he would have an arrest record, he would have endured the
humiliation of being booked and printed, he would have spent the night in
jail, he would have had to call his wife/parents/buddy/boss and get
someone to post bail, would have had to find out where his car was towed
and bail it out, and he'd have to hire a lawyer and sweat out getting the
charges dropped before having to go to court.

I saw a lot of them start the unbeatable ride, yelling even as they were
put in the back seat how they'd get even. I'm not aware any of them ever
succeeded in making much of a ripple of trouble for the street cops. While
I was not then and am not now especially pro-cop, I can't say I remember
many taking the ride undeservedly.

From your description of what you did/said and they did/said, I'd judge
you dodged a very unpleasant bullet. They could very well have seriously
disrupted your life, cost you a pile of money, and there'd have been
nothing you could do about it. You are one very lucky fella. I would not
recommend pushing that luck by making it a habit to muck about in ongoing
police activity.

As for the entrapment...you didn't protect anybody from anything. If they
did entrap a john, his lawyer would get it tossed out in a New York
minute. Given that that's the only evidence the officers had, they'd know
better than to try to bust someone that way.

In summary: (1) You did no good; (2) You did potential harm by disrupting
the arrest of lawbreakers; (3) You endangered yourself and the officers
(you really didn't know what else was going down); and (4) You exposed
yourself to a world of trouble you really didn't need. I'm not sure I'd
have gone on the internet to brag about that.

There is a big difference. I used to work with prostitutes, and I can tell
you that not all of them are there by choice. Between women who have no
other alternative (I don't really see that as a choice) and underage girls
that are forced into the lifestyle, this isn't as "glamorous" as the media
makes it out to be. Drug use - especially crack/cocaine and heroin - is
rampant; so is physicial abuse, both by the johns and by the pimps.
Everyone is owned in this world, and if you cross them, you're likely to
find a new meaning of the word "pain," a warning that *everyone*, workers
and customers alike, should be very aware of.

What goes on between two consenting adults is none of my business. But
when we pull a 14 year-old out from behind a car because she's hiding from
her pimp for reasons unknown to us, it damned well becomes my business.

Besides, it's the most unhealthy form of sex there is, and I don't just
mean for your moral side.

Exactly.  You could be accidently shot for interferring with a police
sting operation.

On second thought, if you're that stupid, you deserve to be shot.

After reading these posts and such , the answer to this is simple, any
civilian interfering with police activities for any purpose besides cheap
entertainment (as it seems to me) is in short an asshole.

The police have a job to do, and if you take it upon yourself to "police
the police" you will not win, plain and simple.

I disagree, the dinner/date is not illegal, husbands and boyfriends are
always taking out the wifes/girlfriends and spending money on new clothes,
dinner, etc... and 'hope' for sex when the date is over.  I know of wives who
have send to their husbands "You buy me those shoes, and I'll make it worth
your while tonight!"

  The next might be - upon which TV news station did the story appear?  It

Of course they're different.  On the first one, the girl is actually
wanting you to give her cash so you can bump uglies with the beast (you
bought some pussy, she wants some crack) and the second one, the girl felt
sorry for your ugly self and decided to grace you with her presence for
the price of a dinner (you bought companionship).  Hell, once she's found
out you've been soliciting prostitution, the only way you'll be able to
get a shot of that box is to "date rape" it.  Maybe you ought to save your
$50.00,  scan the cordless phone freq's, find a couple of gaymo's
discussing the finer points of docking, felching, wine enemas and the
construction of unwrapped tootsie rolls, yank your kidney sweeper from
your pants and squirt a barrage of spittle all over your screen.

So, the reason of your post is to say that all law enforcement
officers are violating the law?  I hope you have proof of this.  I do
not doubt that there a few bad apples in law enforcement.  After all,
lawmen come from the population at large and not everyone is 100%
pure.  If they were, we would not need laws, much less law enforcemet
officers.  Despite your hatred of authority (don't you hate it when
somebody ruins your fun), I would rather live next door to a police
officer (and I do) than live next door to a crack house.

As for why cops don't like scanners, if the bad guys have scanners,
then they'll hear the cops coming and be ready to fire at the
officers.   Unscrupulous scanner listeners can also interfere with the
police officer's duties by warning off criminals, or potential
criminals, away from where the police are violating the criminals'
rights (i.e., arresting criminals and getting them off the streets for
a couple days).  That, among others, is probably why police officers
don't like people hanging around, or following them around, listening
to scanners.

On an unrelated topic, when watching the TV show "Cops", I've always
wondered why drug dealers don't carry those Opto Electronics
Interceptor listening devices.  When the police are staking them out,
they'd hear their conversations or at least pick up the wireless mics
and know that they are about to be arrested.

The cops are usually using scrambling equipment in those segments, so
an Opto wouldn't help.

    And besides, they are operating from the PAB given locations which
    they spot. When you hear them they are saying things like: Unit 402
    at location 3, what is the main man doing?  Or "we are travelling
    down the F street and have a parallel unit on the G street".
    Or we are at location 4 and we think the bad guy is going to loc.
    5.

    OR we are hearing the bad boys saying they are going to be moving
    their op's across the street....they are putting it into a bag.

    Bag being whatever they want it to mean: usually a box or container
    sometimes it's a car or truck.

    pre-spotting was done weeks before by the investigating teams.
    They do this silently.  Observers.  Once they get the go-ahead
    from the higher ups then they confer and go out withmost of
    the locations on a sheet with all the codes they will use alongside

    But a lot of them now are using Cellular Phones on the 900 mghz
    for no listen in conversations.  And they have various pagers which
    print out messages...they get a vibrator kind and when they get
    excited from the vibration they read it....very silent way of
    being unseen and unheard.

    some of the OIC's have faxes in their cars and get regular updates.
    This is usually in the command vehicle.  Usually a Van or similar.

    there are more, but this will give you some idea of how they keep
    their op's unknown until they make the bust....that is another
    lesson.

I agree with you Bill, but its not 'almost a police state'  it IS a police
state!  If you spank you child you go to jail for childabuse, if you leave
you child at home you go to jail.  Hell, when I was growning up I was left at
home when I was 13 yrs old while my parents went away for several hours at a
time, back 20 yrs ago this was normal.  Also, if you did something wrong, you
got spanked, hard!.

Today we must baby everyone and look at the world we are developing because
of this.

Grinnnn. A date, dinner, and sex are illegal? Give me a break. You gotta be
kidding, right? Of couse you're right on one thing, the difference between the

two are minimal. Making prostitution illegal is one of the nuttiest christian

Thank you!  At least someone agrees with me.  I can't believe how so many
people disagree with the above point.  Its really sad when the government can
tell you what you can and can not do with your bodies in the privatecy of
your own homes, cars, boats & motel rooms.

I guess its true, the one world christian government is just around the
corner...sad...truly sad...

You could still use common sense and know that the level of RF activity has
increased.  If you start hearing a lot of nearby encrypted radio traffic, you
know something is up.  That's the advantage of those things, they do a real
good job with countersurveillance.  Remember, when you can't read the message,
you look at traffic levels and who's talking to who.  That's a basic tenet
of signal analysis.  The military has to deal with exactly the same problem
in the field.  They can't decrypt a lot of stuff on the fly so they do other
kinds of analysis.  The NSA makes their living doing this.  A good description
of this sort of thing can be found in Clancy's "The Hunt for Red October".

Actually, most of the intelligent criminals, i.e., the ones that don't get
caught, are making use of technologies like this.  They employ hackers to
do computer work and electronic counter-intelligence.  It's easy to find
people who are disgusted with the system and willing to help these kind of
people.  Drug dealers do pay well when people are providing useful services.

I am actually surprised more hasn't been done about the Opto equipment.  In th
e
hands of a competent user, that stuff can be more effective than a scanner.

Vice laws are an incredible waste of time and resources.  The police should
focus more on violent crime and maintaining safe places for people to live.
This thread proves that cops are out wasting a lot of money on unsolvable
problems.  They get frustrated as well.  I have not met a cop yet that likes
doing those silly prostitution stings.

You plug the scanner in to the computer.  Then, you can use the software
to create a particular list of freq's from a database.  You can then
load up your scanner with these freq's so you don't have to do it by
hand.  Then you can change the freq's in your scanner easily.
Also.  If you have a bunch of Freqs that you found, you can dump them to
the computer, and keep track of them.
You have to have a scanner with a computer port built in, however.
it is possible to have a scanner modified with a port.

Well the software when installed to your computer will control (depending
on the radio)
all the functions you would normally do with the keyboard and more.

also, your number of channels increases to almost infinity depending on
your hard drive

in some radios the band plan can be altered with just the software

and you can download your frequency files to the radio

and other thing such as:
-spectrum analysis
-logging new frequencies automatically
-and stuff that is still in creation

We have an HP 4c scanner....

I am new to scanning anything.

All I would like to do is scan a set of pages and store them under one
file name as a .bmp file.

Any suggestions for a software package?

Thank You.

The software the comes with the scanner itself should do it, you should
have the ability to scan another page.  If the straight HP11C software
(I don't know why it's labelled that way) is great for graphics, or the
enclosed OCR software for text.

I guess it depends what you want to store and why -
is it pure text, pure graphics or both -
and if both do you want the original layout kept?

Some HP 4c's came with PaperPort and Omnipage (Ltd Edition);
the latter does OCR although the Limited Edition doesn't maintain
page layout too well.

I doubt if you'd want to store pages as bmps - wouldn't they be too
large? Consider jpeg for photos, gif for graphics with <= 256 colors
or perhaps compressed tiff.

Also if you plan to store several pages under one filename, how do
you intend people to retrieve that info and flip between pages?

Compressed tiff if you think you might wish to do any editing on the
image.  Jpg files will be smaller but repeated open-edit-save will
degrade the image with the lossy jpg compression.

I too had terrible experiance with this company.I bought the Commercial
Edition AND the Windows Edition. I spent a lot of my time attempting to get
the software to work and was given a runaround when I tried to get it
resolved. Seven or eight months later the guy who answered the phone there
said that they had a batch of diskettes that were bad and that I must have
gotten one of those. Meanwhile I had spent months trying to get this
software to work. I finaly got a newer version but was never able to get it
to work and to this day have never gotten that crappy software to work. I
have used SCANCAT GOLD and it worked well, the people at SCANCAT were very
nice and helpful. SCANCAT GOLD is what I used to rewrite the bandplan in my
AR8000. I would not recomend Scan*Star to anyone because it has been a
one-way deal between me & Scan*Star, I have put into it but have never
recieved anything from it except frustration.

Has anyone heard if there is a shortage of Opto Scouts?  I ordered one
from Ace Communications on November 1, 1996.  Everytime I call they say
that it is still back order.  I can't get money back on this, so I was
curious if anyone else has this problem.

I'm real close to purchasing an AR8000 and a Scout but never having
played with either unit, how useful is it really in locating
frequencies?  The EEB catalog says it will pick up VHF 2-way within 80
feet, with a $950 APS104 Preselector the range is increased to 1/4 to
1/2 mile.

I've never heard anyone talk about the Preselector, but it doesn't
seem very practical without it.  Am I missing something?

I have owned an AR8000 for a year and the scout has good range, I get
further hits than the 1.5" ducky that i bought with the 8000.  I have the
EEB catalog, what page is this APS104 preselector on? :=)

I think the best way is thru the U.S Postal service, COD, and require a
postal money order for payment.  This gives pretty good protection for
both parties.

I d/l'ed the new Semasoft and being a new user of it I read the
instructions.  In them it states:  " Lock your scanner to the correct
frequency of pocsag messages. In the netherlands this is : 154.9875,
159.99000 or 164.3500 Mhz."  Does anyone know the POCSAG freq to set
it to here in Chicago?

Thanks!

Was searching through the 900 MHz band and caught some live shuttle
communication.

It was at 909.500MHz/NFM.  Sounded like a newsperson interviewing the
shuttle crew first, then just ground-to-shuttle comm.  Would this be a
re-broadcast, TV audio frequency or something else?  It was not a solid
signal, sounded like an image or skip of some type.

This is in a ham band. Could be a retransmission. I used to retransmit
the shuttle thru my 440 repeater.

Isn't this a Ham band??

Could it have been a re-transmission of the shuttle comms that Amateur
Radio Operators occassionally do?

How about a device to remotely tune and monitor an R7100 over
the phone line?  This is something that I would really like
to do but have not found a viable product.

(Don't bother with the hamlink type as it is
geared towards a transceiver and not scanning receivers.)

These sound like the same headsets that I've seen at Mobil Gas stations.

I would start by searching the following frequencies:

 457.5125 457.5250 457.5375 457.5500 457.5625 457.5750 457.5875 457.6000
 457.6125 467.7375 467.7500 467.7625 467.7750 467.7875 467.8000 467.8125
 467.8250 467.8375 467.8500 467.8625 467.8750 467.8875 467.9000 467.9125
 467.9250

If those don't work then may want to search the following:

 460.6625 460.6875 460.7125 460.7375 460.7625 460.7875 460.8125 460.8375
 460.8625 460.8875 460.9125 460.9375 460.9625 460.9875

 462.7625 462.7875 462.8125 462.8375 462.8625 462.8875 462.9125

 461.0000 thru 462.1875 with 12.5Khz step
 463.2000 thru 464.9875 with 12.5Khz step

 465.6625 465.6875 465.7125 465.7375 465.7625 465.7875 465.8125 465.8375
 465.8625 465.8875 465.9125 465.9375 465.9625 465.9875

 466.0000 thru 467.1875 with 12.5Khz step
 468.2000 thru 469.9875 with 12.5Khz step

If that doesn't work, then you may want to invest in a Scout from Opto.

These sound like the same headsets that I've seen at Mobil Gas stations.

I would start by searching the following frequencies:

 457.5125 457.5250 457.5375 457.5500 457.5625 457.5750 457.5875 457.6000
 457.6125 467.7375 467.7500 467.7625 467.7750 467.7875 467.8000 467.8125
 467.8250 467.8375 467.8500 467.8625 467.8750 467.8875 467.9000 467.9125
 467.9250

If those don't work then may want to search the following:

 460.6625 460.6875 460.7125 460.7375 460.7625 460.7875 460.8125 460.8375
 460.8625 460.8875 460.9125 460.9375 460.9625 460.9875

 462.7625 462.7875 462.8125 462.8375 462.8625 462.8875 462.9125

 461.0000 thru 462.1875 with 12.5Khz step
 463.2000 thru 464.9875 with 12.5Khz step

 465.6625 465.6875 465.7125 465.7375 465.7625 465.7875 465.8125 465.8375
 465.8625 465.8875 465.9125 465.9375 465.9625 465.9875

 466.0000 thru 467.1875 with 12.5Khz step
 468.2000 thru 469.9875 with 12.5Khz step

If that doesn't work, then you may want to invest in a Scout from Opto.

Probably not.  The easiest way to decode is to buy a cheap
de-scrambler. They go for about 40-50 bucks. Check out the pages

I don't know about that but you can build speech inverter (balanced
modulator) for about $25 - $35.

I agree that the best way to go about doing this is to use hardware and
not software (and the same goes for DTMF decoders), but there ARE programs
available that can do it for you.  One that I can think of off the top of
my head would be a program named INVERSE, available this site:

I'm not a programmer but I don't see any reason why it can't be
done. All you need to do is invert the sound. I seen alot of programs
do some weird things with sound and it would be a neat project for
someone into programming.

What do you say.

Anyone had any experience with one?? How about sources?? Any information

I have a SportCat 150.  I must say that it must be made with the help of
Timex, because it takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.  I am a volunteer
firefighter in my community and until I am able to get a radio, I use my
SportCat 150.  Many times during a rush to respond to a call, and on scene,
I have dropped it many times.  Sometimes from high distances, but it has
never stopped scanning (knock on wood).  Anyone who is new into the
scanning hobby or just wants a simple scanner.

  I've had a SportCat 150 for about a year and like it very much.
I've seen many requests for Mods for this scanner but haven't seen any
response...I assume there aren't any.

I have one and would love to throw it in the Pacific.I had a BC 100xlt
and would do anything to get it back. The 150 picks up so much cross
chatter that I never really know what freq. I am really tuned to. Uniden
has had it back and put new guts in and it came back worse than before I
sent it.Not one of their better models.

I use to own a Sportcat and I was really impressed with it.  It seemed to
pickup any good signal within a 100 miles, maybe further.  Mine picked up
cellular in the 894-920MHz band.
I think this is a good scanner.

I have a SC150 I bought about a year ago. I use it all of the time in my car a
nd it works great outside of the city(Phila.). Once inside it seems to pick up
 too many things(it can be a bad thing too). Overall though it's a great littl
e scanner.
P.S.- A little trick I learned is I bought a cassette adapter to plug into a C
D unit. I stick the end of the cable into the earphone hole in the scanner and
 it plays through all four speakers in my car! It sounds awesome!!
                                       Take Care,

                                           John

I had a SportCat briefly but took it back because the battery life was
poor and you could not use nicads. Perhaps I had a bad battery pack since
I got only a few hours. Of course, around here, there were a lot of
"hits" and that would make a difference.

I own a sportcat 150, and for the price I paid for it($159.00), I don't
believe there is a better deal for that kind of money.  On average, my
battery, which is a rechargeable nicad battery, will last 12-14 hours of
constant use.  This is the originable battery that came with the unit.  I
bought this scanner 18 months ago and have not had any trouble at all
with it.

I second that!  I have had my SportCat 150 for just over a year now and have
also been very pleased with it.  Mine has also seen more than a few drops and
is still working like new.  It also got scraped on the ground and now some of
the keys are gone, but it still keeps going!  The battery life is good too,
sometimes lasting all week on average use.  Except for the small number of
channels that I quickly outgrew, it is a great scanner for anyone starting out

and packs alot of good features in such a compact package.

I'm new to this scanner thing so I have a quick question.  Sometimes when
I select a frequency I don't hear any static (the squelch is off).  Does
this mean that someone is using it and just not broadcasting at the
moment?  Most often I get static on any frequency with action.  Should I
listen for something on these no-static frequencies?

Thanks

I just found a like new Stoner Pro - 40 SSB CB in it's box with mic and
doc's in a friends basement. I have no idea how old it is but it's serial
number is 571. It's SSB only with a built-in frequency counter. A moble AM
cb can be hooked up to it with it's built-in 12 volt power supply and the
frequency counter will work with with the AM CB. It has a sheet of
available mod's that can be made to it and the high frequency mod has
already been done to it. This mod basically gives you the next 40 channels.

It does have a small scratch in the top of the case and one segement of one
of the LED channel displays is out, the frequency counter is 100 percent.
These seem like standard 1/2" 7 segment led's so maybe it can be replaced,
but it does not effect the operation at all.

Seems like an excellent radio and I tested it out ok.

I would like to sell it but have no idea what it is worth. Anyone
interested?

I certainly hope that this is a joke.  The Internet did, in fact, partially
come from the DOD (((actually, in the mid-'60's by three universities:
Stanford, U of Cal, and U of Utah))).  The goal was to allow different
places using different OS's to communicate over long distances (see
footnote).  At this time it was called ARPAnet (Advanced Research Projects
Agency).  In 1975, the DOD took over and the called it the DARPAnet
(D=defense).  Don't know the validity of the CB stuff, but I doubt it (that
was some time before my time);  however, it does somewhat demonstrate the
principle of packet switching, which is how most of the info on the net
'gets passed along (go to your local library for more info).

It is unfortunate that bad info gets passed to people on the net; many
people, who do not know what is true, will believe anything that is said on
the net.  Examples like this one are humorous, if the truth is known (esp
the info about Tandy and T1 lines--most of you will undoubtedly laugh over
this).

Just my little tidbit (OK, gripe) for the day. I know it does not in any
way belong on this newsgroup, and I am sorry.  But I felt the need to post
it.

Take care,
Sonny

Yep. If your like me you see an HT and immediatly say "Hmmm, I wonder

I have a Yupiteru MVT7100. Its a real good radio. But, it doesn't work
good in large cities like Honolulu. It doesn't like to be near certain
computers, and shortwave reception will depend on how near high voltage
wire are. This radio is extremely sensitive.

I am trying to contact the magazine to cancel my subscription.
I suggest that you cancel your subscription, or don't subscribe in the first
place.

So, I have already posted a message here, received no response from the
magazine.
I e-mailed the magazine and received no response.

I have called 1-503-203-8600 and it is always busy. Doesn't matter, early
morning or late evening.
I have called 1-503-203-8620, Subscription Services, never answered, rings and
rings.

Their Web Site http://www.pacifer.com/~ussn/ has not been updated in several
months.

They need to explain or write their customers about this.
Since I have not received November's issue or Decembers, I feel I am owed an
explanation, which does not seem forthcoming. The alternative is to cancel and
obtain a refund.

Good Luck!

I subscribed in Jan. 1996 and have had continuous problems with getting
copies of the
magazine.   I think I have all the issues to date, but the last issue I got
was late and
covered to 2 months.  If the company is having problems I don't think you
will have much
success in getting a refund.  I'm going to let my subscription run out and
I doubt that I will
receive the last copy or two.

You'll probably have better chances of getting blood out of a turnip than
getting a refund from USSN.

I have received no response from them each time.

Today I tried calling the previous numbers that had always been busy or no one
picked up on.
Now 503-203-8600 & 503-203-8666 are disconnected.

Here a new number for anyone to call. It is the State Attorney General's
number.
Ask for a complaint form. I know I want my money back!
503-229-5576

You will get an error response, an indication that you have made an

I'm looking at buying a new scanner for my truck, and the Uniden
BC-760XLT is the only one that will fit (sigh).  I'm hoping to replace a
RS Pro-2026.

I'm considering this scanner because of the PL option, as it should serve
to eliminate interference problems I'm having.  I attempted to call
Uniden Customer Service for clarification of this board, but they were
WORTHLESS (and rude).

I'm hoping someone on the net with this configuration can help.

1)  If I have the tone board installed and turned on, can I program different
    tones for different channels.
2)  If I have the tone board installed and turned on, can I program certain
    channels in PL decode mode, while others remain in CSQ (carrier squelch,
    no PL) mode?  Uniden said no, it's all or nothing, but I have a hard
    time believing I can't just enter "0" for the PL for that channel.
3)  If the scanner stops on a channel with the wrong PL, squelch won't open,
    but will it sit there until the carrier drops, or interrogate the PL,
    determine it's the wrong one, and then resume scanning?

Simple questions, or so I thought...  Uniden was trying to tell me that
only channels in the 460MHz range had PL, and other such nonsense.  I
wish I could blow them all off and install a Pro-2006 (sans PL, but the
triple conversion would do the interference elimination trick), but the
2006 is simply too big to fit in my small truck (Isuzu Trooper).

Any help would be most appreciated.

It'll resume scanning after a very brief delay.

The 760 is an excellent mobile scanner.  With PL, it is great...if they
would put DPL in it, it would be almost unbeatable.  I've owned two of
them.

If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to help.

Hi,the BC760 is a great  little scanner, we have owned one for some time
now. As to your questions about the functionality of the PL feature: You
can program any PL tone into any memory channel. If you don't wish to
use PL decoding on a given channel, simply enter 000. When the 760
scans, it will stop,very breifly, on an active channel. If it does not
see the correct tone, it will resume scanning again. This only takes
about 100 milliseconds.

If you must have DPL decoding, and you are handy with a soldering iron,
 you can easily add this capability. While somewhat limited,permting
only one DPL code to be decoded, it primarily invloves adding a DPL/DCS
decoder module, like a Comspec DCS-23 in paralel with the tone input and
logic output of the exsisting decoder unit. The scanner's CPU doesn't
know the tone deocde logic flag is coming from a different tone unit, it
simply reacts to it in the same way it would to the PL decoder. We
orignally documented this in our (former) RCMA Journal column over a
year ago.

I made my own from a lighter plug and a barrel plug. If you make one, be
sure to get the right sized plug--my BC80xlt takes an odd size.

Here's the latest information regarding Uniden's Trunking
Scanner.
========================================

>Found additional details on the Uniden Trunk scanner that would be
>available in a >table top and hand held model by Feb. :

 Unidens TrunkTracker BC235XLT will track Type I, II, IIi, and hybrid
systems. There are 10 "trunking banks". You program the repeater output
frequencies for a particular trunked system into one of the banks (up to 30
channels can be accomodated). Program the system type; Type II (the default
more or less) or Type I. If you select Type I then you can enter the
individual fleet sizes and start locations or select from 16 preset fleet
maps. For Hybrid systems, you enter all the Type I and IIi fleets and
everything else will be Type II. This is obviously a pain if you don't know
the fleet map for a particular system but most are now Type II and as time
passes people will figure out the fleet maps.

 Once programmed all you do is select trunked mode and one of the 10
trunking banks. The scanner will begin searching for the data channel. Once
found, the scanner defaults to search mode if not in scan mode when last
turned off. IDs will be displayed as they are received (Type II looks like
this: 2048  Type I looks like this: 1-5 ). If Delay is on, when the
conversation pauses the ID remains in view and the scanner looks for the
rest of the conversation on another channel until the delay expires. If
Delay is off, it immediately grabs the next ID. If no talk groups are
active you'll  see ---- on the LCD.

 There are 10 Scan Lists for each trunking bank. You enter IDs you want to
scan into these Lists. Each Scan List can take 10 IDs and you can select or
deselect any of the Scan Lists while in scan mode. Of course in scan mode
only the IDs in selected Scan Lists are searched for.

 While in either Search or Scan mode there are 15 repeater activity
indicators across the top of the LCD screen that represent the system
activity. Each indicator (they look like the familiar bank indicators)
represents a repeater in the trunked systems, and the indicators "lit up"
represent active conversations. When the scanner actually locks on to a
conversation the indicators extinguish except for the one which is the
control channel and the one indicator that represents the assigned voice
channel for that conversation.

 If there is a particular conversation that interests you just push Hold
and the scanner will look for and track it until you go back to Scan or
Search mode. Additionally if there is some ID you want to track but it's
not currently active, or even if it is, you can press Man and enter that
ID. TrunkTracker will look for it just like it does in Hold.

 There is a display mode where the scanner does not actually receive any
talk group but rather just shows the IDs currently active on the system,
displaying each one in turn for 2 seconds.

 That's about it. The user interface was designed to be as nearly the same
as a conventional scanner's. The main difference is that instead of
searching or scanning for frequencies you search or scan for talkgroups.

It is actually humorous how many different "In the know" descriptions
of this scanner have been making the rounds.

First, very detailed descriptions of this scanner being capable of
monitoring only EFJ systems.

Then, very detailed descriptions of this scanner being capable of
monitoring only GE systems.

Then, very detailed descriptions of this scanner being capable of
monitoring UHF trunking, ala ET trunk format.

Now, very detailed descriptions of this scanner being capable of
monitoring Motorola, all types....



Well, my id for the CES came today, we shall soon see.



I guess the biggest question will be.....

Can you really trust much of anything from the company that brought us
the "beartracker"???????

How much is this scanner supposed to cost? Not the MSRP, but what the
distributors, the end sellers, will charge us? If it ain't more than
$400, I'm really interested.

BTW, will this radio also monitor conventional 800, and conventional
VHF/UHF systems?

Any word if this is Johnson, GE/Ericsson or Motorola formats? (They are,
of course, all different).

My question:  are all Motorola systems I, II, or IIi?  Or do they have
other formats that may be in use as well? Columbus (OH) has one of the
early trunked setups by Motorola (early '90's); I hope that this will work
for it.  They have 35 frequencies allocated to them; approxamitely 25-30
are on the trunked system.

I really hope that this isn't "vaporware", urban legend or otherwise,
but one has to wonder.  Motorola is very protective of its copyrights
and patents,  just take a look at the actions taken against those who
have pirated their software or attempted to reverse engineer their
products.  I can't see an incentive for Motorola to license the
technology, nor can I see a way for Uniden to bring this product to
market without the wrath of the mighty Mot coming down on them.  Unless
of course Motorola uses this as a marketing tool to sell new systems
which we won't be able to monitor.

Give us a report Blake when you get back from the CES.

You do not need the system key (system ID) in order to properly read
the control channel data. The System ID is only necessary to program
another trunked radio.

I know someone who tested the portable version out and yes it does
follow the trunked transmissions.

...There are 10 "trunking banks"....

10 trunking banks.  Here, I have 3 big police departments that are
sharing a 20 frequency trunked system.  When I scan the freqs, I get an
officer from one dept on one freq and then the very next second after a
transmission, I have a dispatcher from another department.

Does this mean that the system of 20 freqs will go into 1 of the 10
trunking banks or because I want to track ALL 3 DEPARTMENTS that I have
to enter them in 3 times leaving me with only room for 7 more systems.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks and happy holidays!

I was excited when I first read about this in Monitoring Times.  However
this took the wind out of my sails.  For those of us living in an area
where the State Troopers and local agencies are going to GE/Ericcson
systems, this scanner isn't any better than a normal model.

Disappointed,

So with the new Uniden radio will you be able to follow (listen) to just on
group on the whole trunking system?   The Alameda county moto system has
Sheriff and other departments using 16 frequencies would I be able to
listen to any given department?

That should not be necessary.  Each department has a different talk
group on the SMR system.  The scanner as described will be able to
follow whatever talk groups interest you and ignore the rest.

Same situation where I live!
There are about 20 frequencies
used in the system,but not only police use them.
Transit buses,maintainence crews use the
same frequencies.
The thing is if you are listning to a transmission,no
matter what it is,the conversation will not hop
to another channel.
Don't know what system this would be.
Not really too bad as far as listening goes but still
would be nice to "ignore" the other services!

I don't want to get into this thread any more then what's already
cooking, but I must disagree about UPS tracking. We ship UPS everyday
(and FedEx once or twice a week) and track packages all the time.
Overnight and 2nd day air can be tracked in all cases, and UPS ground
can be tracked if you past on the little "Ground Tracking" label (costs
a little extra, we only use it for 'important' shipments).

As for which service is better, we've had good luck with both, and some
miserable failures with both. For extremely important shipments, we
prefer FedEx as well; but use UPS for our every day shipments.

I send stuff UPS all the time and track my packages.  I sent my FT900 to Yaesu
on 12/3 with cheapest cost UPS ($15 for 19 pound box from MA to Yaesu in CA 1
week)
and got a tracking number 1Z0417060310020175.  I followed it's progress on
the WWW at www.ups.com.  Go there yourself and "track" that number.  I got
confirmation it was delivered on 12/10 and received by a guy named Onteveros.

Works good for me! Try it with that number and see.

Sheesh.

I have sold six scanners over the Net and in three cases, the buyers
elected to use UPS COD. I have never had a problem. The only quibble I've
got is that it ususally takes about 10-12 days after I ship the goods to
get paid.  To suggest that UPS is involved in some sort of underhand
scheme is without foundation

The only drawback with doing COD from USPS is that they will accept a
personal check from an individual receiving the product, even if you
do not want this.

Don't want to sound like a leech but I am looking for USCG Aircraft
freqs.  I have the VHF Marine Working Channels that the USCG uses but
I am looking for Search & Rescue, Comms, Transports, Etc..  I live in
Atlantic City NJ and recently heard of a move of the USCG Air Station
Cape May.  From the drips & drabs I have heard is that it has moved
about 30 miles north to the FAA Technincal Testing Center/AC INTL in
Pamona NJ  which is about 10 miles West of Atlantic City.  Any help or
information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

OK, I entered those frequencies in an empty bank in my scanner and
immediately got some action....but I doubt that it was v-link
conversations I was hearing. It sounded like cell phone conversations,
but this range is above where I would have expected to see cellular
phone frequencies. What other sources might be in this frequency range?

The Part 15 requirements typically state that a product liek the V-Link,
 must have a hardwired/permanetly attached antenna in order to limit
transmit range. Otherwise people could could add high(er) gain antennas
and or use amplifiers. But a Ham, Tech licenses and up can use 900 MHz
with up to two watts or so as the rules now state.CQ 916.875 WFM DE

Yes you do have the option to modify a V-tech since you are a ham.  But
keep in mind that if you modify a V-tech phone under your ham privleges
it becomes an amateur station.  Then you can only use it for
communicating with other licensed amateur stations.

Using it for its original purpose after making any mods would violate
both part 97 and 15.

That's true Curtis(about it becomming an 'amateur radio station' after modific
ation).
Now has anyone tested the range on this thing?
What was the unmodified distance?

Is the Power really .2 milliwatts?????

I saw these things at WallMart.  Are they worth getting?  What kind of ham
mods are you referring to?

Thanx.

G'day guru's......

I am trying to identify the country of origin of a VHF FM receiver which
has a band tuning range around 70 -90 MHz.  I suspect it is a domestic
receiver from some country that doesn't use the traditional 88-108 MHz
allocation...

Any idea's guys....

PS: Please email me directly or I may not hear you.

I've decided to dedicate part of my Web space for those of you who want to
post items for sale, wanted items, etc....  Will only accept and post
messages from individuals looking to get rid of thier stuff--no commercial
posts, please.

The reason is so that maybe we can curb the number of fs/trade posts to the
newsgroups; and to keep down the occasional flames and un-needed posts to
the group.  If the idea is a success, than I'll keep it.  We'll see how it
goes.

Read more about it at http://members.aol.com/slewis3092/freq/trade.htm and
let me know of any suggestions or criticisms.

I have Real Audio format recordings of fire dispatch audio on my
website from two fire events that happened this past weekend in
upstate New York.

One event is a hazardous materials incident in Yates County that
lasted from Saturday evening 12/7 until just after noon on Sunday
12/8.  The other is a fully involved trailer fire in Livingston County
that occurred late Sunday morning 12/8.

In a local secondhand store there are some commercial 2 way radio units
for sale.  I would like to know a bit more about these units.


- Motorola MTX 810   (Appears to be fairly old)
                      It has 2 channels.
                      What is the A/B/C switch for?


- Motorola MTX 838   (Appears to be fairly old as well)
                     It has a little square lcd on top.

                     I have seen a picture of a NEW radio called
                     mtx838 but this is NOT like the model Ive seen
                     for sale.


Any info would really be appreciated.


Many Thanks

Trunking radios, most likely. They require $350. software to program
'em. Not a good buy if over $200.

Also Matt.

Hi Matthew

Both of these for memory are Trunking/Conventional radio models

The 810 as you guessed is an old model, the 838 is only about 12-18 months
old (at least for Australia). The 838 is a good unit. What sort of price
have they got them ?

I am always a bit skeptical of really cheap radios in 2nd places, their
place of origin is not always of an ethical nature...

In Layman's terms, it has to do with the number of noisy channels a scanner
picks up.  You will have considerably more noisy channels with a dual
conversion than you will with a triple conversion.  A Bearcat BC890XLT and
the PRO-2040 are dual.  The PRO-2042 and the Bearcat BC9000XLT are triple.
You will not hear to much, if any, cellular with a triple conversion
scanner, but you can buy a converter to listen to it in the 400-550MHz
band.  You will hear some cellular via image on a dual conversion scanner.

I own the PRO-2042.  I don't care if I cannot listen in on boyfriend
girldfriend arguments, makeups, breakups, and other crap.  I do, however,
enjoy listening in on my neighbors who use cordless telephones that any
scanner will pick up.  Anyone can get these frequencies.

It is the "Scanner Master Metro NYC/Northern New Jersey Guide".  You
can get it from Scanner Master Books at 1-800-722-6701.

They also carry the "Scanner Master Upstate New York Guide", which is
available at a discount from my website (I wrote it).

When scanning in the 800-956 Mhz band on my Bearcat 230 XLT, I get a
terrible buzzing sound on almost all channels that are not
transmitting.  The scan will stop at every frequency due to this
interference.  This has become worse since adding a discone antenna,
but still had same problem with rubber ducky antenna. Sure is a pain
since our police frequencies are in this range. I heard somewhere that
this could be caused by cell equipment in the area.  There is a cell
tower about 3-4 miles from my house.  ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Rick,
   The "buzzing sound" you refer to is probably a data channel
being used by a computer to control the radios of a trunked
public safety radio system. If the receiver you are using is
not cellular-blocked, then you will be receiving the data
channel transmissions of the cellular networks in your area.
   I'll assume that you are not using a dual conversion scanner
which would render you more susceptible to intermod which would
show up as garbled transmissions of two or more strong, active
radio frequencies. While I would not characterize these type
of signals as "buzzing", they are rather annoying.
   By adding your discone, you probably increased your sensitivity
and are picking up signals further away which increases the chances
you are picking up more trunked and/or cellular systems and
therefor more data channels with the "buzzing sound" you described.
   For a good description of trunking radio systems and how they
work, pick up a copy of Police Call Plus from your local Radio
Shack. You'll also get lots of good info on scanning in general
as well as the police frequencies you are probably searching for.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

        If you dont need the cellular coverage, Radio Shack has just put their
Pro-51 on sale for $189.99. It is a 200 channel scanner and scans
50ch/sec. You can pick up the ghost images of cellular in the 900+
range of course you might only get one side of the conversation. I
just saw it in a sale flyer, but seems to be a good value at $100 off.

I just bought a pro 2026 on sale for 199 canadian ($150 US)  .  It was an
older model, but 10 out of the 16 radio shacks in my area only carried
that version, so it is still fairly available I should think.  All I had
to do is clip a single diode and now I get full 800 cell coverage.  I also
added a 9 volt battery for a memory retention feature.  It is now a
mobile/base scanner 100 channel, with pre-programmed weather/fir/pol/marine..
Works for me.

Hi!
I`m a norwegian dedicated air-traffic shortwave listener who have a
simple Sangean ATS 818, and would like a new (second hand?) and better
receiver. So I thought why not ask a guru. If you can find time to reply
on these questions, I`d be  happy. If not, I understand...
 Now the questions:

If I buy a receiver e.g. Yaesu FRG-100, Drake R8(A) or Lowe HF 215/225,
will I notice any difference? The problem now is that, during daytime,
the noise is dominating any possible signal. That is the case most of
the year.
Do you know if there is a scanning device integrated in any model?
And is it poosible to buy a second hand from anywhere?

Thank you in advice!

They would have to install the filters in it and then the cost would be

Very good point I agree, I live in a high rise in Jersey over the river
from NYC.  And the roof of my building has 11 relay antenneas on it. Some
of them for radio stations.

Why doesn't the Scout just by default lock out FM broadcast stations and
pager tower frequencies?  Almost no one using a Scout wants it to hit on
these frequencies.  Seems to me this would be trivial to do for the
Scout's developers and would eliminate most of the complaints associated
with the unit.  And no one would have to buy expensive filters.

The point I was trying to make was that no filters would be needed.
They would just program the Scout to not "act on" frequencies which
hardly anyone wants.

 Richard, one thing I don't see (did I overlook it?) is whether that
 unit is double or triple conversion. Sounds mighty impressive except
 for the large (100 channel) banks.  8 of 50 channels as you wrote,
 10 of 40, or 20 of 20 would be much better. I certainly don't want
 to listen to police if I'm trying to follow CDF or the local fire
 department during a major incident.

Sounds like someone has been listening to Motorola's sales agents. More
resistant my ass. I hope the Pa State Troopers like gaps because they'll
have plenty of them in Pa., esp in the mountains.

Waste of money... how often do you hear of a large scale disaster in PA
that would require a radio system of this magnitude?  The scanner is
virtually dead while driving thru PA anyway.

I would like to use a 20-006 antenna with a Pro-43 to optimize
reception at 460 MHz.

Knowing just enough about quarter-wave antennae et al to get
myself in trouble, I would start by computing a length of
(3x10^8 m/sec)/(460x10^6/sec)/4 = 0.16m.

The 20-006 instructions call for extending the lower three sections
for reception in/around the 460 MHz band. My questions:

1) If I were to shoot for a 0.16m-long antenna using the 20-006,
would I extend the lower section until reaching 0.16m (a distance
far less than that of all three lower sections extended)? Does the
part separating the lower three and upper four 20-006 sections count
in the 0.16m?

2) Were I to go through this effort, would my reception be significantly
improved over simply extending all three lower 20-006 sections.

Emails or follow-up posts appreciated.

Major?  No, not major.  Different CPU.  Better SQUELCH circuit.  Faster scan
and search rates.

See above.  And there are minor differences here and there throughout the
receiver circuits....minor.

No, that was not exactly it.  It kind of turned out that way, thanks to the
eminently successful design of the PRO-2004.....much of which is retained
even to this day in the PRO-2035, PRO-2042, PRO-43, and PRO-62.

Hi all,

Is there major differents between the 2005 and the 2006 scanner?

I like my 2005 very much, but always thought the differents was just the
crystal upgrade (faster channels/sec) between the two. But feature-wise the
same.

Is this the only differents?

I was told that Radio Shack wanted a scanner that they could degrade (my
word, not theirs), then sell. Then the next years model have some the
degrading removed. Till finally bring out the fully originally designed
version. This would cut down on the R/D on their part.

Any truth to this?

Thanks,

Here's a re-post from Oct 25, 1996 :

Since Radio Shack has discontinued the Pro-2035 and
selling them at discount prices(~$250), there seems
to have been a number of people interested in the 2035
but wondering how it differs from the 2042. I ran
across the following in Monitoring Times(Jan '96) and
it is a list of the improvements in the 2042 :

1. Tuning speed, when using rotary knob, increased by
   a factor of three.
2. Empty memory channels(freq=0.0) are automatically
   skipped during scanning
3. Up to 200 frequencies can be locked out in search
4. Duplicate frequencies are not stored while using
   the Auto-Store feature
5. Attempted duplicate frequency programming(putting
   in a frequency which exists in another channel)
   generates an alert so user can cancel entry or
   ignore the alert.
6. Frequencies within a bank can be sorted in
   ascending or descending order.
7. Amber backlight for better display contrast.(I'm
   unsure of this since my 2042 has a green backlight!)

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

to get police action though it (just the operator or whoever talking to

in CA it is used by the CHP [ California Highway Patrol ].  Maybe it's skip.

    In the U.S., 44.40 MHz is primarily assigned in the Motor Carrier Radio
Service (specifically long haul trucks), with a secondary assignment as a
cordless phone frequency. When used as half of a pair, the mobiles transmit
on 43.90 MHz.

According to the "Spectrum Guide" 43.69-46.6 Mhz was licensed to LAND
MOBILE.  The narrative is as follows: "This band is devoted to land
transportation users, police and fire, forestry conservation and state
and local governments.  The band also supports meteor burst data
communications.  This technology reflects signals from the trails of
meteors showering into the upper atmosphere.  The FCC limits non-amateur
meteor burst communications to Alaska only."

Apparently the band was then opened to the extended cordless
frequencies.  This looks like the answer to the question!  The book is
excellent.  I highly recommend it!

San diego police have recently gone to the 800 mhz "trunked" system, im
still a novice to scanning so the question is, with a 200 channel 800
scanner can one still use it to listen to the now trunked frequencies?.

Yes you can.  The problem is that, by design, trunked systems "hop"
frquencies, often from one transmission to the next, so following any
sort of on-going communication is troublesome.

Mark

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

NO PROBLEM..once yhou find the data channes, you can usually find the
other frequencies in the system real easy, example..data noise found on
857.7375..other frequencies will be 860.7375, 859.7375. 858.7375,
857.7375, 856.7375.....often one frequency will be "channel A"..sometimes
the same frequency will be used for both "channel B" and "Channel C"

some, not all trunking systems hop frequencies..no problem..just scan from
hi frequency to low frequency with delay off...works for me!

Hi all,
I have an opportunity to purchase a BC230 for $300.  It is brand new and
has two batteries plus the dealler will include the cellular mod.  Is
$300 a good deal for a BC230?  The dealler will let me listen to the
scanner with the mod before I purhcase it.  The store is very convenient
for me so I am very interested in getting it.  Any info would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance    and
*Please send mail to me* as I might miss the replies on the newsgroup.

If it makes any difference I live in NC USA

Depends on how much cellular listening is to you. A new BC230 can
be had for $220 + shipping via mail order. So that means you'd be
paying about $70 for the mod. Only you can answer that question.

Strong signals,

Actually there is!  The FCC has recently ruled that all prohibitions
regarding BROADCAST television external antennas (i.e. yagis, satellite
dishes) INCLUDING zoning ordinances and PRIVATE COVENANTS are NULL AND
VOID!!!!!  Their justification is that cable TV has a monopoly, and to
restrict antennas that will receive TV signals is a RESTRAINT of TRADE!
This was a surprise!  Exclusions were for safety reasons, and some
historic zoning ordinances.

This is in contrast to PRB-1 that the FCC announced years ago for
amateur radio antennas.  It was a SUGGESTION to zoning boards of the
importance of amateur radio, and to the necessity of working out a
compromise rather than restricting amateur radio antennas.  It did NOT
address private covenants.

Unfortunately, I don't know the link to the new law, but checking the
FCC web site may prove fruitful!

I recently installed a condor 3 band antenna on my office window.
When I hook it into my AR8000 it scans past a lot of freqs (I have the
voice option turned on) but they all peg the meter at the bottom.
When I put a regular RS antenna on scanner it stops at many more
freqs?  (It also stops at a lot of freqs but I hear nothing and the
meter is pegged at full strength).  Does anyone know what is causing
this, etc.

Thanks

Try Javanco.   http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/home.html

They are in the UK and USED to sell an Airband only radio.
I didn't see it on their home page, but e-mail them and ask.
I have purchased from them in the past.  they are very helpful
and reliable, and I will deal with them again in the future!

Icom makes one...physically similar to the U-16.

Go to your local municipal airport, and grab one of the free throwaway
weekly magazines you'll find at the counter. There'll be advertisements

Funny, I have wanted a receiver just for the railband...does that mean I
should go to the train station? <ggg>.  Seriously, I have been looking
into this increasingly for a while.

That's the ICOM model ICA2 108-136MHz hand held.  EEB has them in
their current catalog.  The price isn't listed but you can E-mail them

Wayne,
   The most popular maker of commercial aircraft receivers is probably
Sony. You can still find their Air-8 for sale in many publications.
   Yupiteru sells two aviation handhelds...the MVT-125 and MVT-
225. The 125 receives just VHF, while the 225 covers VHF and UHF.
There are suppossedly greate radios...as is their MVT-7100 which
is one of my favorite radios.
   I know Icom also sells a few aviation handhelds. I am a pilot
and own an IC-A22 which has transmit and recieve as well as
radio navigational capabilities. I think they make an IC-A2
which is a receive only version.

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Why buy an AIR only receiver when a scanner covers the lot?

Check out the "Sporty's Pilot Shop" catalog.  They have the ICOM IC-A22,
two from Bendix and one of their own "JD-200".  They're all
transceivers.  They used to carry the Sony receiver

I think that the advantage over a scanner is better sensitivity in the
AM band.  If you look at the published numbers for scanners, it's in the
1 to 2 microvolts.  The FM is always in the 0.5 range.

For a catalog, call 1-800-LIFTOFF.

Tony,

If by 'highband freqs' you're talking about VHF-Hi (138.00 - 174.00Mhz), I
might be able to help.  Which services are you looking for in particular?
I have Radio Shack's Police Call Plus book for this part of the country,
which provides a fairly good listing of frequencies, broken down by city,
county, and organization.  If you want, e-mail me at [e-mail]
with a list of what you're looking for and I'll see if I can find it for
you.

While we're on the subject, do you know where I could get a copy of the
signals and 10 codes used by Woodstock PD?  It appears that they are using
a slightly modified version of Cobb County's extensions to the APCO, but
I'm not sure.

Regards,
Mike

As far as the signals and 10 codes. I have some of the Cherokee County
official Docs listing most of these. If you live in the area I could
arange to get you one.

Does someone know a source address? Thanks for replay.

Simon,
   You'd probably be safer to stay away from the AR2700. Pick up a
BC3000 or Pro-26 instead...they run about $350 mail order, have loads
of features and are very reliable, tried and true radios.
   Radio Shack is currently running Christmas sales on a lot of
their scanners. You might be interested in checking out the dual
conversion Pro-51 on sale for $190 or the triple conversion Pro-60
on sale for $250.
   There's always the BC220/230 dual conversion radios that go for
the low $200s mail order. And the Sportcat 150s are very similar to
the BC220/230s and can be had in the low $150s.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Now I've really done it.  I was working on restoring my bandplan.  I was
working out the kinks of the PC-Manager software (it only accepts 50khz steps
in the version I have, not 100khz like I was trying), and the radio
froze up on me.  I have had to do numerous resets and the last one I
did seems to have gone wrong.  When it powered up the entire LCD
screen lit up and has remained that way.  I can not use the radio at
all.  I have tried to reset it again - using the [CLR] + [ENT]
buttons when powering up, but to no avail.  I can not even turn the
radio off,  I have to remove the batteries or power adapter.

Has anyone experienced this before?  If so, any ideas how to at least
get some control back?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I guess I'll be making a trip
to see my dealer.

Todd

Both versions can be modified to 100 channels and cellular can easily be

I have a BC200XLT that I want to modify to have an external scan switch.  I
want this so I do not have to hold the scanner while listening to trunked
transmissions.  I envision this as a switch in parallel with the existing
scan switch through a jack on the scanner to a 5 foot wire and a remote
momentary contact switch.  I have been quoted prices from $50.00 to $175.00
for this mod.  Would someone with a schematic look to see if this mod would
be that difficult?  Thank you very much.

Today I recieved a brand new BC3000XLT scanner from a mail order firm
in Ann Arbor Michigan.  I programmed all the 850 mhz trunked
frequencies for the local police but the scanner would not pickup
anything.  It wouldn't even stop on an active frequency.  I turned on
my other two scanners ( a Pro-51 and a Pro-2005) and did some
investigating.  It turns out my to Radio Shack scanners matched
frequencies exactly but I found the conversations on the Bearcat
exactly 0.0250 mhz higher that what they should be.  This was
consistent across the 850 mhz frequencies I checked.  I took a 2 meter
ham radio and it matched it exactly on 147.200 mhz.  On the cordless
phone frequencies the Radio Shack scanners matched exactly but the
Bearcat again was high by 0.0050 mhz.  What a disappointment!  Has
anyone else experienced this problem?  I'm going to talk to the dealer
and Uniden if I have too!  This scanner was going to be a Christmas
present for my father but there is now way I'm going to carry a
calculator to convert frequencies all the time.

I'm considering purchasing a BC80XLT hand-held scanner from Ace
communications (http://www.acecomms.com/Scanns/) for $130 (not including
shipping).

Is this a good deal?

I'm pissed that the PRO-29 isn't going on sale for $149 like it did back
in Sept.  I'm looking for a scanner like the POR-29 that goes up to
956Mhz and is in that general price range.

If you have any other comments/suggestions, I would greatly appreciate
hearing them.

Thanks in advance.

BTW, Check out http://www.acecomms.com/Scanns/ and tell me if you think
it's legit.  I don't wanna get ripped off.

I would agree with your estimation. I've had one since last spring and
got it precisely because it has the battery flexibility. Most Unidens use
only nicads and if they run down or go bad you're stuck.

The chassis BNC connector on mine is very cheap; I have also had to
re-solder the connection between the connector and the printed circuit
board.

In terms of features, lack of programmable search is a drawback. I'm not
interested in aircraft so that's no problem for me.

It's a decent performer, though, and I don't regret buying it.

The Bc80XLT is a nice cheeper scanner......I had one and it did a good
job for what it was.....but you ought to check out the Pro-51 that is on
sale for $199.00. Save a few more bucks and get it. You won't regret it!
It goes off sale Dec 24th.

Ace is a legit...I bought a scanner from them 4 or five years
ago.....wasn't to happy with it!

Subject says it all.

I'm just wondering if the BC80XLT has a headphone jack so I can record
and stuff.  I couldn't tell from the picture on the web page.

Thanks.

Does anybody have directions for Cellular Mod of an BC890XLT?

If so, please e-mail me at [e-mail]

The earliest models could have the mod done, but after about 1/2 a year of
production, the mod could no longer be performed.  I wouldn't worry about
it since this scanner picks up cellular via image between 894-920MHz.

I'm considering purchasing this unit. Can I pick up the 800MHz range?
Is this a good base scanner?

I currently own a RS PRO-2021 and cannot get it to pickup 800Mhz range.


Any help from the experts would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Jim,
   Great scanner. Many features for a great price. Should please
for years to come. You should have unrestricted access from 25-550MHz
& 760-1300MHz.

Strong signals,

Are the BCT 7 and the BC700A the same scanner with the only difference
being the radar detector function?  Would either of these models be
useful in my cruiser while on patrol?  I am looking for a mobile model
that covers 800MHz, does not need cellular.  Could anyone make any
suggestions?

I have both.  There is no "Radar Detector" function.  There is a Highway
Patrol Alert in the BCT-7 which is activated when a trooper is out of
his car and he activates his "mobile extender" by using his HT outside
of the car.  The frequency(ies) differ by state, and the scanner checks
for these frequencies while in the HP and/or Local Police mode.

The BCT-7 is a bit more advanced with more features.  Both scan police,
HP, fire/eng/air/WX/marine, the BCT-7 adds CB, and news, etc.  You can
program individual frequencies into each of them for local scanning.

I use the BCT-7 in the car.  I really think it's the best scanner for
mobile use!

The BC700A  manufactured before 4/94 can be modded for cell.  The BCT-7
cannot, although an image is found above 894 Mhz.

To those of you in the Marietta/Smyrna Georgia area:

I was in the JC Penney Catalog Outlet Store at Belmont Hills yesterday
and they had one BCT-10 for $129.95.  They occasionally get BCT-10's
and BCT-7's, as well as other scanners, on a sporatic basis. They are
not damaged, just catalog returns and cannot be sold as new. Worth
checking out.

No, not a JC Penney employee, just a scanner nut like most of you!

Just wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not I made the right
choice today.  A local dept. store here in NH is going out of business
and is selling all inventory 50 - 80% off, one item of interest is a
Uniden Bearcat 860XLT new in the box. The store regular price is
$219.00, and it is being sold at 50% off, so the selling price would be
$110.00. I've been getting by fine with my RS pro-34 and RS pro-2021 for
a few years now, but considered buying the Bearcat because it was the
last one left in the store. There were six or so left during a previous
visit.  How much better a radio is the 860XLT in comparison to my two
aforementioned RS scanners ? And is $110.00 a good buy, a steal, or just
below average cost for the Uniden ?  I may be able to race back for it,
but my wife is counting on negative reviews from the newsgroup.

Thanks,
Jon M.

     The two scanners you have are better than the 860 ... but the 860
    at that price is a winner...DAMARK is selling them for 295 and that
    is a close-out cataloguer.....110 is great.....

    but your two units are far superior to the 860....if you want to
have a scanner as good.....the 860 has it's high points....

     works great in the low freq and 155 areas....either side..Justd
     great coverage on these areas.  I'm not too happy with mine in
     the 488's and 460's.....my 2021 works better and my bc's 790
     is even better than that....or is it 780...whatever.

     If you need to have a third base unit to make money from, then
     buy it.  But if you are doing this for recreation only, then
     why bother?  The units you have are tops.  I used to have a
     34...not sorry I sold it, just that it was so good in all the
     ranges...just did not use it when out in the wunnerful world
     of street crimes....

Going from memory....remove the Brown wire that comes from the logic board
(behind the front panel) to PIN 1 on CN3 of the main RF Board - don't cut
it as you can remove the pin from the connector block and then replace it
if you want the "beep" back. Same applies to the PRO-2042.

I tried this, and it does work.  However, before anyone tries this, be
warned that removing the connector at CN3 will kill your memory, and the
only way to remove the pin without cutting the wire is to remove the
connector.  Wish I could afford a CE-232 right about now.  :-)  I'm glad
all my frequencies *are* in my data base, however.

I seen some talk about it.  But is there any proven was to increase the
effective capture frequency of a Radio Shack (or other simular style) Discone
antenna. They say it's good for 25Mhz to 1.3Ghz.  Seems to me they give it up
below 300Mhz or so.  The only thing Iv'e heard so far is 1/2  of a  102" CB
whip stuck in the "Bolt" end of the antenna.  Has anyone proved this to work?
and on what frequencies was there a noticeable inprovement?  Enquiring minds
want to know!

Discones typically have a gain of about 1.0 at VHF/UHF and much less at
SW/LW.  The lower set of rods form a ground plane and the upper set
plus the vertical are active elements, designed (I assume) to receive
both horizontally and vertically polarized signals.  Because of the rod
and whip lengths, they are generally most effective at VHF/UHF.  For
MUCH better SW/LW performance, use a plain longwire antenna if you
possibly can.

I'm looking to buy my first scanner, handheld I guess, and am looking
for suggestions.

I'm interested in the PRO-26 as it has the most comprehensive frequency
coverage of the Radio Shack offerings.

I realize that I might end up not listening to the missing bands of say
a PRO-60, but I find it hard to buy something where I don't have that
option.  Is that unrealistic?

The PRO-26 is regularly priced at CA$525 (US$388) and is on sale
currently for CA$325 (US$240).

Is there another PRO model I should be looking at?  I've heard good
things about Bearcat as well, but I don't know where I might find
someone who deals in them (I live near Vancouver, BC, Canada).

Price is a concern, but I'm willing to save up and spend a little more
if necessary for something I intend to keep for a while.

I'm also curious as to which handheld units have the capacity to
interface with my PC.  I've heard something about TTL.  I'm a little
fuzzy on the terminology, but I get the general idea that it connects to
your serial port.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Bryan

Well your on the right track.  I strongly suggest a portable because your
missing half the action by just staying at home.  Prices do go up though
when you want a portable and computer interfacing. I ownan AR8000.  They
are steep in price ($588)  but I have seen used ones for sale in this
newsgroup for about $400.  Invest in an 8000 you will not be
disappointed.

    what if you went across the bridge and took a weekender to
    Seattle and bought your unit in the usa and then dropped
    it on lots of "safe" dirt and scratched it a bit and then
    painted the antennae with some washable element...

    when you go back, would then actually look for it as being
    "just bought" and doom you to "criminal" court the next
    day .... ?

Is this going to help him get those missing bands? I don't quite catch
your point here...Canadian and American $$ are different values, plus
the price of gas and lodging while he is in the US, it seems like he's
going to go through a hell of an inconvenience and wind up paying
twice as much, just for a fucking scanner!

I'd reccomend the Relm HS-200. Does most all the freq's the 26 does,
plus the HS-200 has better sensitivity and PL/DPL decode. Runs $300 or
less.

Bryan,
   If you can get a Pro-26 new for $240US then, IMHO, you should snap
it up as soon as possible! A very nice radio that you should be happy
with for a long time. Very similar to the BC-3000XLT which is also
a very nice rig. Both have lots of features, great receivers and
wide frequency coverage.
   As for computer capability, you'll have to spend a lot more money
to get this...which is only available on the top-of-the-line exotic
imports like AOR or Icom. Since this is your first scanner, I would
suggest staying away from them for now. If you ever do decide to
upgrade to an AOR or Icom, you should be able to get a good buck
for your Pro-26/BC-3000 if you keep it in top condition.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

The old ones can be modified for the cell frequencies.  Those
frequencies are permanently blocked out in the newer models; however,
the image can be found from about 916 Mhz up, and the unit does step 30

I will add my two cents here.  I am in the Army Military Police, and
have had this happen plenty of times.  While on patrol, we would key
up on the radio for some reason or another, and all of a sudden a
car alarm would go off.  This actually happened quite often.  I even
recall keying the mike on a handheld while holding it next to a
video machine and getting "free" credits.  This happened when I was
in Germany and wasn't into monitoring. Our radio's at Ft. Bragg,
however, were around 170 MHZ (I think).

At very short ranges, transmitters give off RF across the spectrum.  When
I worked as a Parking Cop for NMSU, I'd always set them off too.  One
time, when I was impounding a car, after I had already set off the alarm
once, the owner comes out just as the wrecker was leaving.  He said "OH
YEA, watch this!" and tried hit his remote several times trying to set
off his alarm.  After he got even more frustrated, I said "watch this"
and keyed my handheld.  He *really* pissed when his alarm went off for
me!

I am trying to use one the cd adapters to play back the audio from my
scanner. I have a side loading tape deck in a 97 Chevy pickup. The tape
deck works fine with regular tapes but with the adapter it takes it in
but ejects it.

Anyone else experience this problem and find a solution?

This is incorrect. It may be right, but I believe that the main reason you
hear only one side of the conversation is because you are listening to the
phone and not the tower side of the conversation. Generally if you keep
scanning higher in the band you will bump into the tower side and be able
to hear both sides of the conversation, just like listening to cordless
phones.

You assumed I was talking about the input freqs. I was talking about 869
to 894 mhz the output. In my part of the woods (East Tennessee) you
sometimes hear only the other end of the conversation. If you listen you
will figure out that the person you hear is a long ways off by what they
are talking about. 90% of the time when you only hear the other party
then its long distance. I don't mean to sound like a butthole but I
think I have bee in this long enough to know this. Sorry if this sounds
arrogant.

Dave,

Thanks for the URL--interesting site.  The file, however, is an uncredited
version of _Cellular_Magic by Bootleg that was published in the Spring '93
issue of 2600, and is based on 666 channels (the industry has since moved
to 832).  And I don't know if OMNICELLS are still the prefered choice (if
anyone else does I'd like to know).

Scan lots!

Scott:

Go to Jim Herndon's Scanner File list:

http://www.best.com/~herndon/scan/scaninfo.html

download the file CELLPHNE.ZIP

Unzip it (it is 30 pages long).  It explains the channel construction,
gives lists of the cellular phone band A and band B freqs, and lists the
wireline and non-wireline cell freqs.

Yeah I've noticed that too. Is there any simple method to the cell
switching the freq? Something as simple as add .3 Mhz?

Just before I lose the signal, I hear a few beeps, then silence. Does
the cell phone and transponder negotiate the next freq with those beeps?

No. In the Ericsson systems (at least) the 'hand-off' is perfomed by the
'switch' (located at the 'MTSO') to the best candidate 'neighbor cell'.
The neighbor cells are determined by us -the company- and more
specifically
the engineer doing the cell site design in that area. There is no
'magic'
to just like there is no 'magic' to programming a PC.

This is the 'blank-and-burst' data sent to the mobile phone assigning it
to a new frequency, a frequency most often belonging to the neighbor
cell
site although the Ericsson equipment is capable and will do an intracell
(same site) hand-off when the signal-to-interference ratio falls too
low.

Decode that 'hand-off' info (as much of our test equipment can do) and
the call can be tracked.

options are there for controlling it at this poing?

In this mode you can manually punch in frequencies by using this
formula:
11XXXX#
the x's stand for any number between 1 and some big four digit number?
they directly represent the cell frequencies.  With the number you can
find the frequency and vice versa.
So for example, if I want to listen in on 95 (which is motorola's freq)I
would type in 1195# and for 1095 111095# it takes a lot of time.
Oh also before you do all this type in 08# to unmute the radio/phone.

What is the true story on cell scanning.  I have heard that:

1.  It is illegal to sell scanners that receive cell freqs.
2.  It is illegal to scan cell freqs.
3.  It is illegal to divulge what one hears on cell freqs.

I tend to think that # 1 and #3 are true.  but is #2?
Has anyone who knows what is what read the ECPA and understand it?

If you have and can illuminate us, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

    The questions keep coming up, different laws are mentioned, and most
replies are of the form "I'll do anything I bloody well please and no law
can stop me". The following is a short disertation on the various laws and
their effect.

    The laws of the United States, passed by Congress, are codified as the
United States Code (USC). It is divided into titles covering various subjects.
Title 18 includes the criminal laws and penalties; Title 47 covers
telecommunications. A law can be refered to by its original name (i.e. "The
Communication Act of 1934") or its entry in the USC. A specific section
would be refered to by title/USC/part/section, i.e. 47 USC 605.
    To carry out the law, the various government agencies create regulations,
which are codified as the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). It is likewise
divided into titles, with the FCC's rules in 47 CFR.

    18 USC 119 bars the disclosure of any electronic communications to
which you are not a party (with certain legal exceptions), and sets the
penalties.  47 USC 605 (the Communications Act of 1934) also bans the
disclosure or use of third-party communications. With minor changes, this
has been the law for 60 years.

    In 1986 Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (the
ECPA), which added definitions to the law that banned listening to cellular
telephones. It also banned the monitoring of broadcast auxiliary, SCA and
scrambled signals.

    In 1992 Congress passed the Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution
Act (TDDRA), which instructed the FCC to ban the manufacture or import of
scanners capable of receiving cellular. In accordance with this law, the FCC
modified 47 CFR Parts 2 & 15, effective 26 April 1993. Note that this does
not affect the sale of such scanners, so long as they were made or imported
before the cutoff date. It also does not bar individuals from modifying
their receivers.

    On 25 Oct 94, the Digital Telephony act was signed. Buried in one of the
additional sections was a change to 18 USC 2510 & 2511 that added cordless
phones to the original ECPA ban on receiving cellular.

    In short:
It is illegal to manufacture or import cellular-capable scanners.
It is illegal to listen to cellular (and cordless) transmissions.
It is illegal to divulge any communication to which you are not a party.

Now, please - we all know the first two are:  1) stupid;  2) unenforceable;
and  3) widely ignored. It is not really necessary to post the obvious to
the whole world (unless you have an irresistable urge to demonstrate even
less sense than the legislators who enacted them).

        Actually, when I went to a farm show up near Syracuse, I could pick up
Cell phones on my portable tv.  Its an old Sony Watchman (about the size
of a walkman), and it would pick up both sides of the conversation.
There was no picture (obviously), but sound.  I picked them up near
where channels 70 to 83 would be.  I'm not sure what the actual
frequencies would be.  I figure they were from exhibitors in the show.
Many of
which had cell phones.  Some even did credit card transactions with
them.  Not a good idea.  Being they were in the show, and I was in the
parking lot, it would put me less than .5 a mile away.  I was merely
searching for a tv channel with a good show on to watch.
        I just thought that it was strange. ( I note my father's new portable
tv only goes up to channel 69.)

A+ for the effort, but I have a couple complains.

First; there was no need to include a Gif file in the post. Perhaps that
one slipped in do to the second problem?

Second; A FAQ, when posted to UseNet should be in plain text and not in
HTML code or attached. Having the file in plain text makes sure that
everyone can read the FAQ (mainly the targeted audience). NutScrape as a
E-Mail and NewsGroup reader is a lousy (if not lazy) way to do this IMHO.

If the file is to remain in a HTML form, the the next best step is to give
the URL of its location and have people read it that way.

However, the best is just a single post to the group in plain text.

Again, great effort.

I am able to pick up cellular phone calls on my RS Pro-62 between 919 mhz
and 927 mhz range.  While mobile, it can be broken at times, and other
times is quite clear hearing both sides of the conversation.  How is this
possible?

I have also heard of converters to bring cellular in on other frequencies
on my scanner.  Can they be fitted to a Pro-62 and where do you find them?

Thanks

Steve

Image reception. To find band limits, take twice your 1st IF frequency
and add to(or subtract from)869 to 894 Mhz.  Program the results into
your scanner search banks and scan between.

Ramsey sells one, but the GRE superconverters are better.  I believe
Grove sells them:

They will connect to virtually any scanner

I live about 2 miles from a cellular tower (doesn't everybody) and I was playi
ng araound with the
"DIRECT" search feature of my new RS PRO-60.  As I searched in the approx. 131
.000 MHz to
142.000 MHz range I picked up very clear cellular telephone transmissions.  Ob
viously, I only listened
to them long enought to identify that they were cellular and then I stopped li
stening.

But anyway, I assume these are images but I am not smart enough to calculate p
recisely where these
images can be picked up.  I know images can be received on other scanners, suc
h as the
BC-9000XLT, etc.  The mode can be selected to FM in the range I mentioned.  Ho
wever, the search
increments are pre-programmed, and not able to be selected. But, this is bette
r than nothing if you are
into the cellular sort of thing.

If anyone can help in determining how to calculate these image ranges I would
appreciate it.

AOR's SCS2 package will also control the AOR AR2500 Scanner and
it Scans or Searches at about 36 channels per second. It controls
almost everything in the scanner including turning on and off the display
light. Unlike Scancat, you can see what the scanner is doing by it's
own display. Also offers uploading/downloading all 2016 channels
and a spectrum display.

It is a DOS based program like Scancat and runs on most systems
including old XT's.

ACE Communications should still carry this software.

Anyone trying to decide between the CE232 and the Optoelectronics 456/535
should keep in mind:

1. This is an apples to orange comparison in the sense that the CE232 is
essentially an auto programmer with some scanner control features and the
Opto units are scanner controllers with many features (including restoring
cellular frequencies in the 2035/42).

2. The interface is only as good as the software that you use. There are
several software publishers making software for the Opto units and only
one for the CE232. Many of these products provide the scannist with a
whole range of options and features that are unavailable to the CE232
user, in addition to those provided by the CE232 software (remote control
via the keyboard, third party support, user defineable controls, look ups,
search and store, logging, etc. etc. etc.). One example: Probe software
provides employs pipeline tuning to speed scanning performance from 45 cps
to 80-plus cps. (com port set at 19200).

3. The Opto has well established third-party support; at the moment that
is only a promise for the CE232

4. Price for the Opto unit is $200, on sale. Price for the CE232?
Available by e-mail only. Opto is fully assembled (CE232 apparently is
available as a kit or fully assembled at a higher price).

5. Opto units can be used with either PCs or Mac (Wave software). CE232 is
only PC compatible.

6. CE232 is designed mainly for 2004/5/6; limited capability with 2035/42.
Opto has full capabilities with either (the scanner determines which
interface you must use).

 As I have been trying to decide between the two controllers, all of
the info that you have supplied has been a great help to me, and from
the looks of it I have no choice but to go with the Opto 535 for my
Pro 2035, thanks for the info, and have a great holiday season.

It seems likely that, with appropriate software, the CE-232 can do a
lot of the "decoding" functions advertised by Opto (CTCSS, DTMF,
etc.).  The user merely needs to find a way to pick off the
discriminator output (well documented), a hand constructed simple
circuit to do the processing (simple if the directions are clearly
written, as the directions for the CE-232 itself have been), and
either an added function in the '232 software or a third-party program
that can be linked to a function key and spawned from the '232 process
as a child program.

Besides actual programing the scanner the Opto unit WILL DO that with
the right software.

Using *Probe* I can wait for a frequency to become active (with/without)
desired tone (ce-232 cant decode tones) and have it scan or search any
combination of frequencies and have it record all or specific
frequencies (tone or no tone) long as there is activity or record
for a users chosen amount of time.   Then I can resume normal
scanning after a specfic amount of time.

Being able to chose my own tones I can filter out stations I dont want
to record to tape and still log new tones to a log file, or record
everything on that frequency.

Probe does this by using a feature called SmartScan and SmartBanks.

I'm not going to get in a big debate here. Both the CE-232 and
Optoboards have their advantages. But just wanted to point out that the
Optoboards can perform tasks like this if you have the right software.

Just a happy Optoscan and Probe user.

Steve

>Bote

  While I may not reprogram all of my scanners every other day, or even every
week, I find the ability to do so enhances my enjoyment of the hobby.

  I have a number of older Bearcat BC-250's that hold my core frequencies, (th
e
frequencies that I ALWAYS want to listen to).  I also have six PRO-2006's, and

I just picked up two of the PRO-2035's on closeout.  That's 4400 channels that
I have no desire to program manually.  I have most of the scanners set up in m
y
den.  I keep one PRO-2006 in the kitchen and one in the living room.  I have t
wo
CE-232 interfaces that I use for programming all of the PRO-20xx's and at othe
r
times they are running Script files controlling two of the scanners.

  There were many times in my pre-CE-232 days that I would be interested in
scanning some group of frequencies but I didn't want to have to sit down and
reprogram one of the scanners only to turn around later and reprogram it back
the way it was before.  I usually would just not bother going through the
trouble.

  Now, if I have an interest in checking out some group of frequencies, I can
program/re-program one or more scanners without the drudgery.  For example
if I want to listen to military aircraft, I can load in a few hundred channels
and listen in.  If I get bored with that, I can load in some other group of ch
annels.
If I don't have a programming file made up for a particular group, I can fire
up the
computer and create a program file for almost anything in just a few minutes.

  I looked at the Opto boards and they didn't fit my needs because of the numb
er
of scanners I'm using, the cost of installing one in each of eight radios,  th
e cost
of the additional software I would need to buy and not being able to load the
the frequencies into a scanner for use while not attached to the computer.  If
 I
only had one radio, maybe all of this would be acceptable.

  Both the Opto boards and the CE-232 have their followers.  You have to decid
e
what functions are important to you and buy the interface that comes closest t
o
your needs.  I do know that I will NEVER again be without some kind of interfa
ce.

Right.  "The right software".  But *not* the software that comes out of the
box, right?  So you gotta pay Opto some cash geetas, and then boogey over to
another goody store and shell out some more....is that right?  How much,
total, assuming you don't screw up and buy the "wrong" software the first
time out.

>Using *Probe* I can wait for a frequency to become active (with/without)
>desired tone (ce-232 cant decode tones)

Let's not get too hasty there.  Nooooo, the CE-232 doesn't decode tones, but
it can control whatever does.  Fer instance, you could hang a low cost tone
decoder on the uncommitted IN/OUT ports and do tones until the cows come
home.  And then hang an S-meter on four more bits of the IN ports and log
signal strengths, too.  Not only log 'em, but logically test for given
VALUES@X and do a bunch of nasty stuff.......same as you'd do for tones.

>I'm not going to get in a big debate here.

No point in that.  The thread started with a fair and acceptable post about
the CE-232 and what it does.  Somebody else felt that the Opto units should
be touted.  They have been all along anyway......which is why I posted the
info about the CE-232.  But now we have to talk about Opto again.  Well,
hell, they're the big guys.  I guess "might" is right...........

You didn't happen to notice the 18-pages of ads Opto took out in the Jan-97
issue of POPCOMM, did you?

> Both the CE-232 and Optoboards have their advantages.

You betcha.  Some guys have both.  It's kind of like Windows and Unix......

>But just wanted to point out that the
>Optoboards can perform tasks like this if you have the right software.

Well, the CE-232 can do that, too, with the right hardware.  And hardware is
less expensive than software......and it retains its value longer....and it
doesn't go out of date as quickly as software.

By the time you buy a piece of software, the developers have a subsequent
version on the boards....to keep you coming back.   Hardware *can* be that
way, but in radio, the hardware development cycle is MUCH longer, typically
several years.  For software, it's six months to a year.

Tell me it ain't so.  Tell me that ain't the "Big Suck".      :-)

Have you looked into getting the Optolynx interface? With Scancat or even
free/shareware you can load the AOR8000 with up to a 1000 freqs in a snap.
I didn't find that it required time to mess around and you certainly do not
have to sit at the computer just to monitor.

Naw, I wouldn't have raised hell about your mentioning prices. Once you

pricing information?  You know that many people in this forum (me in
particular) object to ads being posted here. Thast's not news. Yelling
about it after the fact only stirs things up.

>Prices are no secret, but the information about the CE-232

The CE232 is an interesting product that I am sure that many people will
want. I happen to think there are better alternatives. I haven't even
bothered to program my PRO2042 and Opto 535 in the year that I've had it.
I've got a zillion freqs in a several databases (from CD-ROM, references
guides and stuff that I have found on my own). I can listen to anything I
want in any combination within a couple of keystrokes. Programming a base
scanner is close to being obsolete as far as my needs go. Now, I can see
how it would be valuable for someone who travels or has a handheld. But
that ain't me babe.

Whoooooaaaaaa, hoss.  Had I mentioned prices, you (or someone) would have
raised holy hell about it.  So I opted not to for the sake of peace and love
on the forum.  Prices are no secret, but the information about the CE-232
was much more important.

Besides, if you read the mail, I addressed it in a previous reply after you
opened the door for me to legitimately post the prices.  The info is here in
this thread somewhere.

Stay sober.

There I go, talking without all the facts.  Ignorance only...not stupid.
I have several friends with Optos, but they are not into computers other
than the user aspect.  (Well...one is, but he hasn't told me about the
Opto's ability to be customized.  I'll get with him later.  Rodger, you
know who you are!!!)  Anyway, I was unaware the software was able to be
easily customized.  I assumed (there's that nasty word) the Optos were
pretty much "what you see is what you get."  Live and learn.

I still won't give up my CE-232 until they pry it from my cold dead
scanner. (Or is that my handgun from my fingers?)  But, I just might get
an Opto, too.

The Opto has a set of commands that can be sent to it to perform
the desired actions. Rather than customizing someone else's software,
you could be a masochist and write your own. It's not any more
like rocket science than the CE-232 script language, I imagine.

The OS456 comes with a test program to ensure that it has been installed
correctly. This does little more than let you tell it a frequency,
a mode, and maybe 1 or 2 other things. That's it. I used it to
test mine after installation--it worked.

That's what got me thinking about writing my own control program.
Then, I discovered why the ads for this or that control software
bragged about being the fastest (I wondered how they could all
be the fastest). The computer must do every last single solitary
thing to run the scanner. The faster the computer, the faster
your scanner can get things done, up to the practical limit
of the scanner interface, somewhere between 55-90 channels/second
depending on who's talking. The computer just keeps sending
command after command to the interface as fast as it can.
Any program that can do this can run the scanner.

You could write your own program to send commands down the serial
port, but it had better be quick. As soon as Windoze goes to switch
tasks to another program and yours gets no more time slices for
several milliseconds, your scanner stops scanning for that interval.
You'd have to write a driver that hooks into the o.s. to keep
getting its share of time.

Knowing what I do about Windoze, I quickly gave up hopes of writing
a decent scanner control program and looked at the commercially
available ones. That's where it stands now.

If only the interface had a little brain power and would do the
grunt work, leaving the high-level stuff to the computer, everything
would be peachy keen. That's the way it should be. It aint. :(

Oh well, I'm just glad the PRO-2006 is as good a scanner as it is.

We all know what is "not tolerated here" - by YOU.  And we don't
really care.  Are you gonna fill the newsgroup with another
100-message useless anti-Bill-Cheek diatribe flamefest?

You're a hypocrite.  Why didn't you flame the guy who posted an

Is it illegal to receiving cordless phone??? Some say yes, some say no!!

Is the statement true:

[California Penal Code Sec. 632.6. Intercepting or Receiving
Cordless Telephone Communication; Penalty; Exceptions]

Some body please help me!

Because it violates US Customs regulations to buy something that is
not legal to import.

That being said, the chances of Customs agents opening any particular
package containing a scanner that is being delivered to any individual
citizen in the US are pretty slim.  However, if they do happen to
catch your scanner at the border, the fines can be pretty steep and
jail time is possible.

You were doing OK until that last sentence.

Illegal monitoring, or any violation of the United States Code, falls
under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice and would be
enforced by the FBI.

The technical specs for scanners are FCC jurisdiction.

I posed a similar question a few weeks ago.  Many people replied, and
none had any problems with customs except for a few that had to pay 10%
import duty.  The worst that is likely to happen is that the scanner would
be seized; however, there were no reports of this happening.  Jail time or
fines would be very unlikely, probability close to zero, for ordering a
single scanner by mail unless you were flaunting it in their face.  If
anyone has had anything worse than having to pay duty occur, I would like
to hear about it.

California passed a state law before the federal law was passed.  It IS
illegal to monitor cordless phones, as well as Cell Phones in the US.

Bob Grove did a National TV spot on somone who was "burned" by someone
monitoring cordless phones.  Hopefully some zealous politician won't
pass a law to block those frequencies also.  The US has already been
made a laughingstock in the scanner community by having the cell
frequencies blocked in US scanners!

Kinda new to all this, but I assume from your response that it is NOT
illegal to have a scanner in Europe which receives cell phones...

Ok, why not just get your scanners from European distributors?  Does the
currency exchange rate make it prohibitive?  Is it illegal for a foreign
distributor to ship one to the US?

Seems like it would be easier to buy overseas than mess with all the
mods you have to do after purchasing a scanner here in the US...

Your comments appreciated - I have a lot to learn...

Monitoring Cordless is illegal under USA Federal Law, in the April 1994
ammendment to the ECPA (Electronic Communications Privacy Act).
Communications is a Federal juristiction (FCC).

Your opinion is that 46/49 Mhz phones are "no good."  The may not be great,
but compaired to 10 years ago, they are excellent.  True they don't have the
range of a 900mhz phone but most people only need 200-300' at the most. I
would be interested in know how far you go when you are using your 900mhz
phone and drive to the store.

Is there someone that lives more than 1/2 a mile from you that you want to be
able to hear your calls? It'd be easier for THEM to put up an outside antenna.


Seriously, the power level is so low, you'd be getting signal loss from the
coax running to the antenna. I suppose you could make an antenna matched to
the freq. Use speaker wire and it should be about 5 feet long.

Why would you want to do that? It would just make it easier for a
scanner further away to receive it.

When we had a 49 MHz cordless phone I put a 5 foot telescoping antenna
in the handset.  It gave enough range to work on walks with the dog, 1/4
mile or so.  Of course I didn't know much about scanners back then.

 Use a impedance matching network to drive a 4CX250 ceramic tube. Use
that to drive a 4CX15000C.  (You'll need about 4 amps at 7.5KV).   Come
out of that with a Pi-net to a 4" 50-ohm heliax coax.  Run this up a tower
as high as you can get it- (at least 500-ft) to a 12 bay phased diapole array.

This should give you about 75 miles.

 Glad to help.

Yes, I've been involved in too many newsgroup creation "discussions"
(arguments).

The simplest, most effective action to take is to establish a mailing
list.

You get it done, and that is it. It becomes a matter of advertising
so that you get readership without the junk mail (not spam).
Moderation would not be needed, especially with Majordomo
as the server; I believe it has many provisions for culling
out administrative messages and probably could be adapted
to cull out junk mail with anything that says "MAKE MONEY FAST".

This is already being discussed here in the thread "D.C. area scanner
newsgroup", or something similar. I would never have looked here
except that I had posted remarks about M.S.P. recently.

The mailing list is the way to do it, unless we like to waste a
whole lot of time and get nothing done, that is.

Bote

The eventual outcome of this discussion has little impact on me, living as
I do on the other side of North America from Washington, however, I'd
suggest that you not create a newsgroup. Create a mailing list instead -
it cuts down on network overhead, is easier to handle, and you don't have
morons running into your group all the time. It's probably EASIER to do it
that way, and it ensures you greater distribution, since there are still
people out there who have e-mail accounts but can't use Usenet.

My recommendation, at any rate.

Sounds good to me.  Either way, being in Dundalk near Baltimore I would
be very interested in taking part in this.

I would definitely be interested in this. However, I believe that the powers
that be (ie, those that are in charge of the dc.* hierarchy) have said no.
I tried this about 2 years ago. A lot could have changed since then, but they
said that the best thing to do is to start a list first. Then, if tons of
people subscribe, we have evidence to support the necessity of a newsgroup.

Besides, newsgroups are getting so overwhelmed by SPAM these days, I really
hate to read them anymore. With a list you could keep SPAM and other such crap

cut down...

Newsgroup or mail list.  Both sound good to me.  I seem to have to hardest
time finding the frequencies to the Baltimore County cops.  If a mail list
is made add me to it.  Thanks.

I'd be very interested in a DC area scanner newsgroup or email list.
Either way would suit me.  The newsgroup would be less maintenance on an
individual, but the email list would be more focused and less enclined to
flame wars, spam, etc.  But either way would be good.  The group or list
should cover DC, VA from about Fredricksburg north and out to West
Virginia, and all of MD (not just the MD counties near DC).  IMHO this
coverage would be helpful for those of us who live in one area and work in
another.

If there was you couldn't afford it! DES is next to impossible to
de-code. I figure someone will break it in the next 20 years and by then
thay will have (voice inversion DES spread spectrum frequency hoping
telephones all in one)

I would be happy if I could just listen to my local police when they go
coded. It sounds like static and pisses me off.

I imagine there probably are several, and if not the DES standard itself is
publically available and a decoder can't be THAT hard to build. Of course
after you have a decoder you need to know what key the transmitter is using
so you can punch it in to your decoder. If you don't know what key they're
using you can try your luck and go through all 2^56 possible combinations.
Or you might get lucky and find it on your first try! Of course your chances
of winning the lottery are much greater than that.
Oh, and even if you do (by some miracle) manage to find the key, how do you
know they won't change it tomorrow?

Hi,

Could anyone please advise me on any information/specs for the Diamond
W1000E scanner.

I am interested in knowing how it performs thorugh out its large freq range
(500kHz - 1300MHz)   considering its small size.


Please help.

When there's only room for a pocket sized radio, this is **THE** radio to
have in your pocket. And it runs forever on two Eveready Lithium
Energizers.

Sensitivity and selectivity are quite acceptable and much better than the
Icom R-1 or Alinco DJ-X1.

Downsides: can't easily lock out scan channels; must manually set search
step size as the defaults are wrong outside Europe. Also 4 bands of 100
channels is a bit limiting.

Look for the Diamond or the ICOM discone with a center antenna element
for better 25 Mhz to VHF-Low coverage.

I'm sorry if someone has already posted this here before, but I'm
looking for a DTMF decoder for my sound blaster.

I got some program, but it's a crappy demo version and it only decodes 6
numbers.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

If anyone is looking for a portable, battery operated DTMF decoder,
with non-volative memory, RS232 output and with or without display, I
have them in kit or  fully assembled versions.  No need to use your PC
to decode the tones (much smaller than a PC also).

Cassettes will be around for at least 10 years at the very minimum. No
other format has such a big user base of recorders & players worldwide.
Its about 2 billion!
 DAT is stictly for pro audio and mini disc is only an interim format till
recordable DVD discs come out in less than 2 years.
 And besides you still wont be able to buy ANY digital format Walkman for
$20-50 like you can with cassettes!

I have a six month old AR 8000 with scout mod on top, next to volume, and
the floating birdie mod.  I also have two Murata Eire filters (CFWM455E and
a CFWM455D, one is the 7.5 khz and the other is 10khz) for
the audio clipping mod but never put them in.  I also have a spare LCD
window.  It comes with manual, box, 2nd antenna, computer interface and
carring case.  Asking $575 including shipping.

The FCC (US) is now allowing non-marine use of the marine band
frequencies as long as the user is at least 116 miles from the nearest
navigatible body of water.  The information I've read on the matter is
fairly vague as to whether they will require a license.  Recreational
boaters (US) are no longer required to obtain a license although rules
governing use of the marine band are still in effect.  Non-marine use
of the marine band has been going on for some time and the FCC has
finally recognized that the use has not caused problems for marine
users.

I have a commercial license, GMRS license, and a now unneeded marine
license.

Diddn't something simulaur to what is happening to our freedom to listen

There have been reports of Federal Agencies setting up camp on 800/900
Mhz. SMR systems to conduct operations in various areas. If you feel
they are doing that in your area, your best time to listen is at night
when most other SMR users won't be using the system.

Hello folks,

Somewhere in my journeys, I have collected some frequency files (DOS
evidently) that end in .frq.  Evidently these are data files for some
program.  I can convert them to pure ascii, but what program do these
files belong to?  (Read, is there yet another piece of use____ software
that I would like to have?)

Please reply to:
[e-mail]

Thanks!

Mark B. Watson

I have a Pro-51 with the cell mod done (keypad mod) I wasn't planing on
selling this but I suddenly need some money.

This scanner is in mint condition. I have the manual.
I know they just went on sale from $299 to $189
I am offering this one for $150 plus shipping. $5
If you buy a new one you will still pay over $200 after taxes!
and it will not be cell modifiable!


Price is firm.

How much are you asking for used scanners around the 100 to 200

I have a Radio Shack Pro2022 200 channel scanner I would like to sell.

I have had it since it was new, but have hardly used it.  I find
myself rarely listening to the scanner at home anymore.

Coverage:  30-54, 108-136, 136.005-174, 380-512,806-823.9375,
851.1125-868.9375, 896.1125-960.  200 channels in 10 banks of 20 each.
Search function.  Picks up cell images real nice.  (not that I've
noticed :^)  )

The telscoping antenna is broke off, but I have allways used the BNC
connection.

Like new, with instuctions, PDD (standard) to US:  $200.00 OBO.

Thanks,
Scott

I don't do much scanning anymore, thus I'd like to sell my AOR 2700
scanner. I purchased it from EEB in late July. I paid $249, all
totaled.

- Cellular band unblocked

- Original packaging and documentation

-Both antennas, metal and rubber duck

-Cigarette lighter adapter for auto use.

-Rechargeable batteries and power supply

- The case is clean, in mint condition.

This scanner has served me well, despite it's lack of use on my part.
Ive been happy with it's performance.

Please e-mail me your best, reasonable offer.

Thanks.

Bill

Not exactly true.  The NASA Select retransmissions are good examples
of Amateur transmissions which fit the definition of "broadcast".  They
are transmitted to a broad audience (anyone listening) and not directed
to any specific amateur station.

No matter where you are in the U. S. you will be able to pick up ham
conversations on the 2 meter band between 144 and 148 mhz.
My repeater guide lists the following repeaters in the Tampy/St.
Petersburg area.
145.15
145.27
145.29
145.33
145.41
145.47
145.49
146.64
146.76
146.79
146.835
146.85
146.865
146.94
146.97
147.06
147.075
147.105
147.21
147.24
147.315
147.36


You should hear a lot of activity on some of these at least.  The highest
ham activity is normally at the lunch hour and in the evenings.

good luck,

WA3NAN and W1AW utilize a "loophole" in Part 97 that allows certain
organizations (and individual hams in some cases) to transmit blindly
to all other amateur stations without having to engage in two-way
conversations.  The idea is that the transmissions are not intended
for non-amateurs, so they do not technically fit the definition of
"broadcasting" as far as the FCC is concerned.

Of course, non-amateurs listen to amateur frequencies, but if you are
making a point-to-multipoint transmission of a bulletin or some other
information and make no reference to the non-ham audience, you are
legal.

BTW, I have no intention of debating whether any of this is "right" or
"wrong" or "good" or "bad".  I just want to illuminate how some of
this is actually done.

The difference is not in the law, it's in the enforcement, while it may
be technically illegal, it's too-small potaotes for customs to fry to
bother checking up on individual scanner imports.  Scanners made in other
countries have nothing which readily identifies the fact they can receive
frequencies which are not to be monitored in the US.

There is a fellow who maintains a database of scanners and their basic
specs, controls, etc.  He also has some manuals (Owner's and Service).  For
more info, contact:

[e-mail]

Now there is another angle......that scanner was made by Tennessee
Electronics and they are still alive and well.....possibly under a different
name, though.  Anyway, I contacted them a few years ago....and promptly lost
the information....but at that time, they still had some parts and manuals,
and were happy to hear from owners.

You might try to do some research in that direction, too.

Happy Holidays,

I just purchased the EDCO CAT 232 interface for use with my AR8000, I am
trying to use Radio Manager but the problem I am having is that
althought Radio Manager will put the radio in the proper scanning mode,
the radio will not lock on any active frequency, it will just continue
to scan. My system is a Pentium 166 running Windows 95. Any help with
this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.

OOOPS!  Unfortunately, the CAT-232 interface will not work with Radio
Manager in terms of scanning.  It requires a hardware squelch return,
and the CAT-232 does not provide this.  You will need an AR8000INF, a
CU8232 or an OPTOLYNX to scan with this program.  However, Scancat Gold,
RSCI Scannerwear, and scan*star does not need a hardware squelch
return.  I wrote to Ben Saladino, and he said that making the program
able to handle software to stop scanning on an active signal would not
be easy.

Hello,
I recently acquired a Realistic Pro 2006 from my brother and this is my
first scanner.  I live in Houston, Texas on the second floor of a three
story apartment complex.  I've enjoyed using the scanner and can listen to
local police, fire, etc.  My understanding is that the 2006 is a good
receiver and I would like to better utilize it.  Please make any
suggestions for an indoor (or outdoor balcony) antenna that may work or
suggest any references I should pick up on antennas.  Thanks for your
advice.  Tom.

Use a wire antennea with the coax going to the middle.  I know that grove
or EEB if I remember correctly, sells a "make your own antennea kit".  It
comes everything with the middle and insulated ends etc.  Also check a
bookstore on amateur antenneas (preferably ones from the ARRL) they give
you the formula to match Mhz and length-- which for 45 Mhz will be 8 feet
long (ball park figure);=)

I am interested in making an antenna that receives 43-45 mhz. Can anyone
suggest the proper length and the proper material to use for same? also,
how would one hook up the coax? would the shield also connect? Coax to
connect in center or at end?

I would appreciate any info you can give.

Thanx

I made one out of 2 X 4 studs and copper pipe from the hardware store.
Mounted it on top of the garage and its been working perfectly since summer.
It only has two elements but it outperforms the discone, hands down, every
time. The measurements are:
Driven element: 303 cm
Reflector:      347 cm
Spacing:        160 cm
The long spacing decreases gain slightly in the 46 MHz range but gives it
wider coverage so it works better at 43 and at 49. I used a program called
"YagiMax" to tweak the dimensions. It should be available at ftp.cdrom.com
in the ham radio directory. It allows you specify the element lengths and
spacings and gives you all sorts or graphs like gain vs. frequency,
front-to-back ratio, Smith charts and so on.

As for construction, use a 2X4 for the boom, and either aluminum or copper
tube for the elements. Aluminum is lighter but more expensive. For
connecting the coax, a 75 ohm to 50 ohm matching transformer would be best
but these are hard to find and it is generally easier to use some type of
matching on the driven element itself, but I have no idea how to calcualte
the dimensions of the hairpin. I just connected the coax directly to the
driven element, the shield goes to the left part of the element and the
centre to the right part. Make sure the left and right parts are separated
by about 1 inch or so.

Next summer, I think I'll try to make a quad antenna from PVC pipe and
speaker wire, hehe.

Ohhhhhhh... I built a 2 meter 4 element quad with #12 house wire and pvc pipe.

 It worked ok, but the pvc pipe doesn't even hold it's own weight!  It's
pretty useless unless you run a dowel rod down the middle of it like I did.

The hi-pitched parts of the signal are made lo-pitched & vice versa. The
system has an oscillator running at a frequency near the middle of the
voice band. This feeds one port of a ring modulator. The voice feeds
another port. The input pitches above the oscillator are output
proportionally below the oscillator
Ex. oscillator = 1000 Hz, input = 1100 Hz, output = 900 Hz, input = 800
Hz, output = 1200 Hz. If you have a pair of these with the same oscillator
frequency you can implement a (not very) secure link. See my previous post
this NG about the Ramsey inverter kit.

<snip>

Close -- actually, the oscillator runs *just above* the voice band; for
example a 3500 Hz oscillator assuming voice band is 300-3000 Hz.
That way what goes in low (300 Hz) comes out high (3500-300=3200 Hz)
and what goes in high (3000 Hz) comes out low (3500-3000=500 Hz).  What
is actually being done is generating a lower sideband signal with a
carrier frequency just above the voice band.

If the oscillator was within the voice band, signals would be ambiguous,
since there is no way of knowing if a 200 Hz difference came from the
original being 200 Hz above the oscillator or below.

Well, to some multiple priority channels may be cool.  But . . .

Follow me here.  I only want ONE priority channel to be prioritized on my
BC300XLT.  In Bank # 1, I want channel 1.  No problemo.  But, I also want
to monitor other banks that are ALL filled up with 20 channels of freqs.  I
know I can move the priority channel around within a particular bank, but,
I can't seem to turn it off within a particular bank.  Thus, If I am
scanning banks 1 and 5, for example, and bank 5 is a trunking bank (with
all 20 channels used), and I wan't priority on bank 1, channel 1, then I
turn on priority on the unit.  However, when I am listening to a trunk
conversation on a particular channel in bank 5, I only want interrupt for a
transmission on bank 1, channel 1 - NOT a transmission on the other
prioritized trunk channel within the trunked bank.  I end up losing the
conversation to which I was listening.   Phew...

I could always pain-in-the-you-know-what move the priority channel in bank
5 to the data channel and lock it out, but that is simply not an option b/c
data always changes and it is not the point here.

Any ideas??

Hi Tim

I have played with one and was rather impressed with the unit as a whole
The Ci-V interface is great if you have a Scout 40 for reaction tuning, it
has a good audio output, quite a nice front end and doesn''t suffer too
badly from adjacent channel crap.

The HF on it was quite ok as well which is suprising for a unit so smalk

All in all a good unit and at the price is hard to go past

Cheers
Michael

My parents are going to be in Los Angeles in mid January so I'm interested
in finding out
what the Icom ic-r10 is worth in the states and where is the best place in
LA to buy it. I know
that the radio would be cellular blocked unlike Australia but I don't
listen to mobile phones anyway.

Any comments on this radio would also be appreciated.

Thanks for posting the review. I am going to save it to

Being able to ajust the intensity of the LCD is very
nice. I hate the difficulty one has in reading the AR8000
unless it is positioned just so! Two lines is a bummer.
We neeed more information not less in the display.

Big blunder in design in IMHO. Why have the Alpha tag
anyway? Ten chararacters of text is nice touch.

Everything in the above paragrah is a bummer in
ICOM design IMHO. Why didn't they improve on the AR8000
design while they were putting this thing together?  The
only really interesting scanner advancement I have heard
about is the the rummored Bearcat (235?) which can esily
scan a trunked radio system. If that thing works I am
going to buy them wholesale and resell them.
How about you?
I am also wondering if AOR will top that idea?

BTW I need some knobs for the AR8000. I like the rubber
OEM ones. They protect the radio when it is dropped.
Do you have any for sale?

Do you have any way of possibly putting it in the attic?  Or perhaps
on top of a bookcase?  The higher you get the antenna, the better.

Hey, if you're divorced then you can put antennas anywhere you want:-)

I even have an outdoor type FM antenna suspended from the ceiling.

Since my divorce, I live in an upstairs apartment.  This is a good time of
year for me because I can get away with mounting my old discone in the
living room and decorating it like a Christmas tree.  By mid January I have
to go back to mounting my mobile antenna on my window sill!

The cordless phone monitoring has gotten more interesting, but I can no
longer hear the local control tower at the airport.

All you really can do is set your scanner by a window for better receiption,
the antenna you bought just plugs into the radio and really can't be mounted
anywhere for improvement. I bought the radioshack MagMount (25<>1300Mhz.)
#20-012 and just put it on the roof and ran the wire down inside and I
receive alot from far away :)   Best performance is a good ground plane or
discone outdoor base antenna.....................**

Get a mag-mount scanner antenna and use a piece of sheet metal, a file
cabinet, old frying pan, anything metal to provide a ground plane to put it
on.  I use this kind of setup for a transmitting antenna on the 2 meter ham
band and can hit all the local repeaters and talk all over the city on
simplex.  This sounds rather goofy, but it works.  If it will work for a
transmitting antenna as well as it does, surely it will be a good receiving
antenna.  As the other fellows said, the higher the better.  Like one of my
mentors told me, height is might.

The bigger the metal plate the better, to a limit of course.  For
example for 161 Mhz you want about a 17" radius.  The whole idea here
is to make the plate (ground plane) radius as large as your vertical
element (radiator).   The length of the radiator is dependent on the
frequency you want to optimize for.  This if you really want to
optimize for one part of the spectrum as this matching is less
critical for reception than transmitting.

I use a scanner magnetic mobile antenna.

For a ground plane try a car drip pan. They make these about
4 feet by 2 feet to slide under your car. They work great as
attic mounted grounds.

How does one go about receiving INMARSAT transmissions?  I have a
scanner capable of tuning above 1.5Ghz, but lack the expertise as to
where to point the antenna and the type of antenna to be used.  I have
heard that a loop yagi will suffice. Can someone briefly advise me?

The device you need is the COMMtronics CE232. Can be installed in the 2006.
Will autolog the hits in Search and Scan modes. Will autoprogram the
radio's memory. The Opto won't. There are a couple of programs out there
that will run the CE232 and one on the way that will record the audio thru
your soundcard.
It's a little kit you assemble & wire into the radio. Perhaps a bit more
complex an installation than the Opto, but mine has worked fine from the
git-go. Well documented & supported. The communication protocol between
the CE232 & the host computer is documented if you want to write your own
host (I did, for the Mac)
The Opto's features all go away if you turn off its host computer, and you
scan the channels in the radio's memory. When the Opto's host program is
running you scan the channels defined in the Opto control files. With the
Opto, if you dump the radio's RAM you have to dial it all back in again by
hand. The CE232 can create "backup" files & reload them for you.
Good Signals!

I would like to find some plans to build a notch filter for the VHF band
 that I can use to reduce the interference I get from the weather channel
 and pagers.  I can't use my external discone antenna because of the
 severe intermod.
Thanks...Brad

Depends what you're trying to do.  I'm not familiar with the filters
from Grove, so I can't speak specifically whether they're really
worth the money.  I can speak on the subject of filters in general,
however.

If you're trying to get other VHF activity on your scanner (besides
154.980, that is), you'll need some awfully nice stuff in front of
your scanner.  Even if you purchase a resonant cavity filter
(big, bulky, and quite expensive) you still won't be able to pick
up VHF activity all that well 500 kHz on either side of the signal.

If, OTOH, you are just trying to scan UHF activity or low band VHF,
a simple helical filter which blocks VHF might be just the ticket
for you.

Note that for these filters to work really well, they'll have to be
adjusted for your particular situation.  The other option is to just
spend the money on better gear.  But you'll have to spend a good
deal of money to get the kind of dynamic range performance required
to function around that behemoth.  Alternative:  Get a directional
antenna and point it away from the transmitter antenna.

No one solution is going to fix your problem, but these are some
ideas...

Good Luck!

 I have a D.P.W. transmitter nearby (154.980) that "bleeds" or causes
intermodulation on many other freqs that I have programmed into my
pro-2006. I've seen ads for filters (i.e. Grove) that are supposed to
eliminate this problem. Does anyone have experience with these, or any
advice on stopping this annoying problem? (I'm using a RS discone antenna

How about a 1/4 wave stub cut for 154.98?

Jim, N2VNO, is right, it is the correct things to do. Alternativly,
PAR Electronics in FL sells a small (cigarette pack), passive,
in-line (50 ohms) filter which introduces 35 dB att. 152-155 mHz.

A 1/4 wave stub will work, sort of.  Ever swept one with a tracking
generator?  It doesn't have a very high Q.  Not only that, it will
also work at 3/4 wave on UHF.  Attenuation might be something like
10 dB.  That may be enough, but we're dealing with a wideband
scanner here, so don't hold your breath.

Most of the time, when we install base stations and satellite
receivers at work, even with several MHz of channel seperation,
and roof top seperation distances, we use cavities or helical
filters to keep them out of each other's hair.  Quarter wave
stubs just don't cut it.

Happy Scanning!

Well, so far only you and one other have shown an interest.  If we can get
around 5 or more people we can pick the server/channel.

Good idea.  There is usually a #scanner channel already sitting there,
but we could create any necessary variation on the name.

I'm also planning on doing a parallel session of the Western NY
Scanner Listeners' Net on the usual ham radio frequencies plus an IRC
channel sometime in January.

We could feed live audio to multiple participants using Internet Phone
instead.  It's another possibility.

That can be lots of fun.

All this talk about a wash / balt newsgroup gave me an idea (I cross posted
this message so for those of you who know nothing about the referenced
thread . . check out the other newsgroup :-)  ).  On IRC (Internet Relay
Chat for those who do not know), there is a channel "#weather" for detailed
live discussion on storms, nor'easters, hurricanes, snow storms, etc. in
the Northeastern U.S. (A very good IRC channel for any wx buffs out there).
 They meet every night at 8:00 p.m. but it is usually active 24 hours
during big wx events.

How bout "#scanner" for us????  We can meet at 8:00 p.m. on the Undernet
IRC server (or any other mutually agreed server) and we can chat live.  If
there is interest I will post more about IRC and how you can get the free
software if you dont have it already.

Imagine . . . listening to major scanner events with meeting participants
chating on-line that may be located where the action is happening . . .

Imagine even more . . .  sending a .wav file to each other with the scanner
output of the event . . .

Whadya think??  We need no permission.  One of us needs to create the
channel nightly and others can join in.  After a while, we will know who is
responsible and who is not and name them channel operators.  For those of
you that don't know, channel operators control the chat channel and can
boot out unwanted annoying participants, spamers, etc. - as well as grant
others channel operator status.

Just a thought . . .

My computer monitor, when turned on, turns the 46MHz freqs into static.

Is it only my particular brand of monitor, or do all do it? I have a 5 year
old no-name monitor. If I just turn the monitor off but leave the computer on,
everything's  ok, BUT its hard to type when I can't see a thing!

It must emit a long ways because the interference doesn't stop until I'm
waaaaaay across the house.

Will this always be a prob with monitors?

thx for the help.

Im moving to Nuuk in Greenland in february next year and i want my
scannerhobby to continue (already feel the urge to get a ham-license).
As Nuuk is a fairly small and quite geographically isolated society i
think it would be a good project to map the City in the 3 years i'm
going to be there.
And as i mentioned in the top i already got an UBC300XLT so instead of
bying another handheld ( i would anyway wait for the ICOM R10 and get
that one) i think it would be nice to go for a basescanner with the
Opto 535 interface and then later a scout.

We are planning a winter vacation to the Keystone, Frisco, Colorado area.
Looking for intersting frequencies to monitor, such as Police, Fire,
Ski patrol, etc.  Also would like the State Police frequencies to monitor
while enroute.

I will be visiting Las Vegas soon.
Are there any anti-scanner laws in Nevada?
Also, what is a good source of frequencies in the Las Vegas area?

Please excuse me if i'm asking a question that was already answered...
I haven't read this group for a really long time.

I'm thinking of buying a RS (base) scanner.  My concern is that after years
of owning Bearcat's, I've come accustom to the nice blue digital display
used to indicate the freq.  The RS scanners appear to use more of a LCD
with no real light contrast to aid viewing in a darken setting.  Your
thoughts and comments are appreciated.

The above was from an earlier post of mine...but now as I research the
market...it looks like most scanners of today use that backlit (LCD)
technology.  For those of you who own a fairly new scanner BS or otherwise,
how hard is it to read and or see the freq. display...(darken room...across
the room..etc.)?  Thanks!

The tower frequency (119.1) of DCA (Washington National) is
interesting.  As you know, it's a very busy airport with only one runway
long enough to accept most airliners, and the other two runways
intersect the long one.  If you get a chance, station yourself by the
ILS transmitter at the viewing area (powerboat launching area) which is
a few hundred yards directly off the north end of the main runway.
Listening to the tower from there really impresses me with their skill.

Is the DCA tower on the Net?

I haven't heard anything about an RA site for DCA yet.

However, I came across the following post in rec.aviation.piloting

The skill of the pilots landing on that runway is also impressive.
They must follow the Potomac and avoid numerous restricted airspaces
over DC.

Great.  Thanks for the help.  When you say "pre-programmed search
ranges", I assume that means I'll need to pick a bank and program all
the frequencies in a range into that bank and scan it?

Or, does that mean that there are pre-programmed ranges that the
factory has supplied?

Either way, this sounds like it will do pretty much what I want.  I
expect to get something over the next 2 weeks and I'll let you know
how I make out.

Thanks again.

Harry,
   Most scanners offer some kind of search feature to let you
"hunt" for new frequencies. For some this search feature is
programmable, in other it is pre-programmed. And don't confuse
searching with scanning. Scanning is where the radio steps
through the frequencies you've programmed into the scanner
channel memory banks looking for active transmissions.
   A programmable search allows you to enter upper and lower
frequency limits of your choosing and then search between
them for active transmissions.
   A pre-programmed search only allows you to search between
limits programmed at the factory. There are usually as many
limits as there are "bands" for that particluar scanner.
   For the Sportcat 150, it offers access to 12 bands. Namely
29-30, 30-54, 108-137, 137-144, 144-148, 148-174, 406-420,
420-450, 450-470, 470-512, 806-956...and there's one in
there I can't remember. Anyways, you only get to search
between these pre-programmed ranges.

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

One more thing I would add to your list of musts would be the priority
feature.  Most scanners that have what you are looking for will have the
priority channel feature also but it is good to check since this feature
is absoultly essential.

Radio Shack is selling the PRO 51 for about $200 right now.  It is a
little on the fancy side but is very fast. (50 channels/sec) and has 200
channels.  I have had one for about 2-3 years and really like it.  Good
luck.

According to my sources, when RadioShack stopped producing the PRO-2006
Grove Industries bought out all remaining stock.  I know this because I
happened to be working for RadioShack when the company had all stores
return all PRO-2006 units to a central warehouse.  My manager at the
time, being the smart guy he is, managed to retain one for himself just
before this all went down.  Anyone who is savvy enough with scanners is
gonna' know what they've got in a 2006 and you'll have to pry it from
their cold, dead fingers in order to get it or at least make a
substantial contribution to their wallet.

ANYWHERE and i did get some reply's from others out there but before i had
a chance to respond the server here came about and cleared out my mailbox
and i didnt get any addresses written down.. So all those who mailed me..
please re-mail me..

        I am looking for a very good - mint condition 2006 with no mods
done to it.  If the cell and diode speed up mod is done thats ok but
preferably no other mods.  Let me know :)

I don't agree with your suggestion that it would be difficult or expensive
to acquire a 2006. I bought two new 2006 a couple of months back from Ron
Coursey, who's been advertising them here, for $350 each. He is also
selling like new refurbed units for $300. Both have warrantys. He
apparently bought a few hundred units at an auction. He may still have
them. I know that several people have posted messages saying they have
bought units and were quite satisfied. $350 is less than the list price,
which you probably know.

I have seen 20 or 30 2006's for sale on here in the last 6 months for
$250 to $300.
They are out there.....and a lot of folks are selling right now cause
they need x-mas cash.

I'm in the market for a used scanner that will pick up police, aviation,

The Cape has switched, but, where are you attempting to listen from??

800 Mhz doesn't carry as far as the old low-band.  Also, there is a lot
of sharing.  C-Troop is only using 2 Freq trunk right now and share some
of these freq's with MassPort to the East.

This thread prompts a brief aside:


Is there interest in starting a dc-area based scanning newsgroup?

While I was in school in Philadelphia,  we had a great newsgroup
(phl.scanner) going. It was much easier to track local scanning
questions and issues than in these broader groups. Post if you're
interested, that way we can all guage how many participants could be
involved.

Guys< let me clear up the MSP Frequency issue.  First if you call me, I
will fax anyone the correct list and barracks usage of the MSP
frequencies.  Second, there is one hell-of-a lot of activity on the low
band channels but, you MUST have the correct quarter wave antenna to
receive well(1/4 wave at 39.5 MHz is 77.08 inches). The little antenna
that comes with the scanner SUCKS for low band(30-54 MHz), this is most
likely why you don't hear much!!!

My tel is 800-598-7890 x4142

I would certainly be interested.  It would be a much needed way to help
eachother keep track of dc freqs.  And it would seem to me there should
be some pretty good stuff to hear in dc.

It should be no problem to start rec.radio.scanner-dc if it is set up by
one of the major ISPs like Clarknet (an ISP with a dedication to
service).  I'll inquire and post their response.

I'm sorry.  ClarkNet SUCKS.  PERIOD.

Not  to digress . . . but . . they have no dedication to service and their
customer support stinks.  I switched to Mindspring.  So far, they are very
good.

Sorry for taking everyone's time to state my opinion unrelated to scanning.

Andy,

I use a Watson micromag magnetic mount instead of a glass mount (I've
tried glassmounts).  It's frequency range is claimed to be 25-1900 MHz.
The antenna is about 16" tall, has a approx. 1 1/4" magnet and a couple
meters of RG174 with a BNC connector.

This antenna works much better then a glass mount and looks like a
cellular antenna.

Hi Andy
I've tried a glass mounted antenna and it was so disappointing that when
it blew off the rear of the car, I didn't even bother going back to
retrieve it. I doubt if you would find it any better than your rubber
duck. You'd be better off with a mag mount, with antenna suited to your
frequencies of interest.
I use a Watson amateur radio antenna, drilled through the roof, but they
will fit on a mag mount with the correct connector.
73 and good listening, from Dave

I'm a beginner and have a couple of questions about monitoring cellular:
I'm using a Pro 51 that is cellular blocked. Am I hearing the phones
themselves, or am I hearing the cell tower (everything I hear is nearby)?
And, why do I only hear one end of the conversation sometimes?

Is there a way to monitor police calls on 800 MHz? Are they limited to
certain frequencies? I used to listen before they went 800 & have the
capability as I have a 800 XLT.

                                Thanks,

    Just find their frequencies and program them in and listen.
    That's about it.  Simple and easy to do.

    Just expect to have a lot of "angst" from making sense of
    what you hear....there are more than police or fire on the
    trunked systems in your locale.....plenty of other agencies
    within that jurisdiction who get access ...  like dog catcher
    and EMS and floor sweeper and street buffer squad and more.

    You'll just love it.  Or grow to wish the radio would fly
    away and file a report in the morning with your insurance
    company....

Monitoring police frequencies on the 800mhz band is kinda tricky.  Most are
trunked and you have to know which ones are the police.  Look at police
call for your city and find the frequencies, and then your set.

The computer system here shows that the old part number (NLN-5096D) now
points to a manual number. This is usually a page of explanation as to why
a part is no longer available. The price also went to zero on our computer
system for the NLN-5096D. This is another clue to me that the part is NLA
from Moto.

Well, Gosh John, I guess if you had taken just a moment to read the
manual that you were refered to, you would have seen that the NEW PART
NUMBER was REX1090A.  NSO of $43.25, list of $60.25.  NSO will be
$45.00 as of the first of the year.

And, if you took that a step further, and checked PARTSNET, you might
have even found that Motorola has SCADS of this part in stock!

But of course, you would rather take the oppurtunity to tell me all
about your clues!

Any wonder why so many Motorola Dealers have no faith in technical
support from Motorola any more?  Standard Two way is fine, but
Hi-Tech, and trunking, federal systems, well, not worth the 800 call!

  The resistors are a good way to go, but I sugest that you also use an
isolation transformer to  avoid any common or uncommon ground problems.
This will give you electrical isolation at least as far as the grounds
go.  Radio Shack used to sell a 600 to 600 ohm transformer that should
work.  Use the transformer first, then the 'combining resistors.
More power to you.

On 09 December, the Bote Man questions the high band plan for the SHP.
My monitoring indicates the following:
1. T155.445  R154.920  vehicular repeater
2. T155.445  R155.445  portable to portable
3. T159.210  R154.680  high band repeater per map
4. T154.680  R154.680  portable to portable or HB base
5. T155.475  R155.475  natl law enforcement emergency channel
6. T155.505  R154.680  high band repeater per map
7. T156.075  R154.680  high band repeater per map

The encode and decode tone used is indeed 131.8, however, it may not be
used
on F2 to avoid keying extenders.

Hope this is helpful.

The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office is seeking late 1950's Motorola
radio equipemnt for it's vintage patrol car.  We would like to obtain a
full radio set (radio, control head and mike), but will accept just the
control head and mike.  The items DO NOT need to be in working order.

In the perfect world <g>, we would like to have a full, working VHF (150
MHz) radio to install in our 1958 Ford Patrol car.  The car will be part
of our DARE program and will be taken to schools all over Santa Clara
County.  The Department also uses the patrol cars in parades, special
events and vintage car competitions.  We currently have one vintage car,
which complements our three other DARE vehicles (A 1992 Ford Crown
Victoria with a San Jose Sharks Hockey Team paint job, a 1994 Van with
San Jose Sabrecats Indoor Football Team paint job and a 1990 Ford
Mustang with DARE logos).

We would like to obtain donated equipment for this car, though some
limited funds might be available for purchse of the equipment.

Thank you for your interest and assistance.  Please contact me at the
below e-mail address/phone number or Deputy Matt Dutra, Community
Relations Unit, [phone] if you can help us with our project.

Don't you dare!  (GRIN).  If your local radio shop won't donate this,
I sure will.  I will even make it working.

I love my Escort phone, built by Cincinnati Microwave. It's full
digital spread spectrum transmission, and I've never been able to pick
up any of it on either of my scanners. The prices keep dropping, too.
800 information should have a number for either Cincinnati Microwave
or The Escort Store. Ask for a catalog: they make great radar
detectors, too!

Best of luck,


           John

I guess it was a mistake to post it that way as I got the totally useless
response of "you've got to be kidding".
In trying to keep it short I was trying to say I wasn't interested in the
cheap cordless phones.  I'm not looking for white house type security.
I don't know much about these phones and I'm looking for some suggestions for
a good digital spread spectrum cordless phone.

Thanks again,
Mark Henning([e-mail])

I just bought a cordless phone made by Uniden that has a scramble mode.  It
seems to work just fine against my scanner and it only cost about $55.  It is
a DX 4534...

Any spread spectrum phone is 99.9% secure! The only people that can
afford to moniter you would be the government and they are to busy

Try doing a Deja News search using cordless phones.  You'll get lots
of responses that were posted in this group over the last few months.

I went through this process recently.  If you want modest security get
a 49 mhz with voice scramble.  Much better security comes with digital
transmission, non-spread spectrum.  Best security comes with digital
spread spectrum.  Be prepared for a feedback/echo/sidetone with
digital phones.  Don't buy one unless you can return it if not
satisfied. Sidetone can be unbearable with some.

Hope this helps...

Harold

All of this is very true, but it's a long way from being perfect. My
suggestion is wait another year and save your money. In a year or two you
may be able to get something that will work better.

You might try looking in bookstores and newstands for "Scan Colorado" by
Brian Gould.  Pretty good source.  Lists for $19.  Also if you have access
to a comm program you might try logging on to some of the local bulletin
boards.  I like the Enterprize at 659-8294 or the Grotto at 421-7186.
Look for the local(Denver) echo and post a request.  There are several
people posting there that seem very knowledgeable about local freqs.  I
generally listen to Aurora's trunk and Arapahoe county.  I don't bother
with Denver since they use the annoying tones that follow each
transmission.  Quite rude, I think!  Good luck.

If he lives in Alberta the local Radio Shack will have a book listing
ALL active Alberta frequencies for about $19.95.  It is published by a
BC company & RS in other provinces carry the local one for their

I recently was given an Yaesu FT-727 handheld. Unfortunately, the handheld +

parts ( battery charger ) and documentation.

I know this scanner is old.... Is it even worth messing with?

Hi, although limited by it's large size and limited
programming functions in comparison to a radio like the new FT-50, the
FT-727 can make a nice economy/first xcver/monitor.

I'm not sure if the CTCSS encode/decode board is still available, but
you should still be able to get a battery charger for it from Yaesu, or
try Ham Radio Outlet(1-800-444-0047). A wall wart charger should only be
about $10 - 15.

I had a '727 about ten years ago, and had lots of fun using it as a
CTCSS-capable VHF/UHF monitor back when Uniden was making their
first(lousy) attempt at the BC760.

The biggest limitation with the '727 is that you will not be able to get
reception on VHF above 160 MHz, due to loss of PLL lock, and may need to
readjust the VCO in order to receive above 152 MHz.Check with Yaesu
about a service manual for help with this.If the radio does not already
accept programming of non-Ham freqs, do this: CPU reset, but use 110000
as the reinitiation code...

If you plan on doing a lot of (Ham)xmiting with the radio, you may want
to throuttle back the TX output power adjustments: 1-2 watts for VHigh
and UHigh and <500 mw for Low TX.This will limit battery current
during TX High to 1 amp or less.

A better(wider bandwidth) rubber duck that you may want to check out is
the EXY-450 from Centurion. 73s DE WA1YKL

Mine won't receive above 155.3 - VCO limit!

There is a two position pwr switch: Hi is 5 watts (really 'cuts
through the smoke) and low is .5 watts.

If this gentleman had left a real e-mail address, it
would have been a lot easier to send him a message
directly to say that I have a genuine manual for that
radio, since mine was stolen and the book was not
with the radio at the time.  I might have even been
willing to copy it for him, who ever he is.

   There's a Realistic Pro-39 scanner sitting in a pawn shop here in town,
and I was thinking of buying it... I have a couple of quick questions:

   a) Is $150(ish) a good price for one of these units?

   b) How do you tell if it's cellular modifiable?  I looked all over it
      and couldn't find a date code on it anywhere (it's not on the
      inside, is it...?)

   c) (the obvious) Is it any good?

Thats about average....for that price I would want the manual and
box...at least the manual.

If it has a date code of 2A4 or ealier......the 4 means 1994.
A general rule of thumb is that any scanner manufactured after April
1994 is
not modifiable for cellular coverage There are some exceptions, like the
PRO-51).

>    c) (the obvious) Is it any good?

Yes I have owned two and they are very good. Its almost as good as the
Pro-43 but it doesn's have military air and 220 ham band.

Hi to all scanner enthusiasts,
I am going to put up a web page devoted to radio scanning.
The  Web Page will contain:

1. FOR SALE page - where you can post equipment you want to sell

2. TRUE STORY page - where you can post your most memorible
experiences you heard on your scanner.

3. HOT FREQ page - where you can list FREQS you most commonly use by
state for others to use

4. NEIGHBORHOOD page - where you can put you name and E-MAIL and find
out others that are in your area

5. MESSAGE BOARD page - where you can list anything other than the
above items.

I think this page will be a BIG hit .
Encourage others to join in and help me out.

You can email me at:
[e-mail]
with your comments.

The URL will be:
http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/4967

This will be a FREE page !

Let's get it started !

THANKS!

Mad Max

Well, I went to that page, and there was nothing on it.  A nice counter
stating I was the 133rd person to visit...

Or have you just not got anything up on it yet??

Scanner and Monitoring folks,

I'm a real fan of the  SPECTRUM FREQUENCY DATA BASE,
series CD's  and I just got my postcard notification for the new
Winter '96  Edition at $28 bux!

I use this CD more than any other I own.  It's better than any
paperback frequency list I've seen or own.  From low band to
daylight*'...  Loads of features like search by Frequency, Call Sign,
Service, State, City even Longitude and Latitude and so MUCH more and
for all U.S.!   Everything but Federal services (darn!).

If you were hesitating, waiting for a new edition, here it is!  I'm
not a employee, but a very satisfied customer.  It's the BEST!
find 'em on the WEB at:   http://www.perconcorp.com  or EMAil:
[e-mail]   ...price includes 2nd day shipping.

Simply Awesome!

Has anyone tried this tape recording device and if so how did you like
it?  If you know of a better one I would appreciate it.

If you already have a tape recorder, you can MAKE the necessary
"carrier-operated-relay" to make it do the same thing as the Nitelogger.

Cost?  Ohhhhh, maybe a couple of bucks if you have a junk box.  Five,
if you don't.

Use the SQUELCH gate in your receiver to gate a bipolar transistor switch.
Let the transistor switch kick a relay, the n.o. contact closure of which
feeds the REMOTE jack on the recorder.

You can't beat it with a stick.

I tested a BMI NiteLogger II and liked it.  It was
well built in USA.  The built-in speaker
and volume control are handy.

The relay is more robust than the relay built into
Uniden scanners.  It has 2 amp contacts but activates
with a kerchunk noise, so you might have to put a pillow
over it if you located it on a night table and try to sleep
while it logs traffic.

The NiteLogger II didn't come with a schematic so I
reversed engineered the circuit and published a full
annotated schematic with my review.

Could anyone tell me what could possibly be at 1101.6375 it is some
type of law enforcement,  and I guess it could possibly be an image, I
am in the Baltimore county area of Maryland, and using a Pro 2035 to
listen to this freq. I listen to city, county, and state police, and
it sounds like none of these.
Thanks for any help.

One of my friends had trouble with a PRO2035 getting images from
cellular and trunked services up in that range, so it MIGHT be a
cellular image, or it could be a private trunked system that you're
getting an image from.

   Just curious if there are any scanner types out there that have
gone thought the rigors of installing the Os535 card in the Pro-2035
scanner attached to a PC with the Windows software (Scannerware)?

If so, how is the Opti-card install...difficult, etc? Also, has anyone

experimented with the various Windows based packages to
drive the scanner...which has the better features..etc?
Any new software on the way that I don't know about...I
am not interested in the DOS based packages. Is anyone
converting any 3.1 packages to 32 bit? I will be considering
conversion to NT probably next year...would be nice to get
most of the 16 bit stuff to 32 bit NT variety!

Many thanks,

Leonard...

Leonard,

I have the OS535 / Pro 2035 combo. The OS board was not as easy
to install as the advertisements would have you believe, but
in a couple of hours and some careful soldering, I was able to
do it, and I'm not an electronics expert nor am I particularly
skillful with my hands.

The board works very well under computer control. I settled on
Scan*Star software because it drove the board at full speed
(about 80 chan/sec), and it had the nicest user interface
in my opinion. However, I think the choice of software really
comes down to personal preference. Most have demos that you can
download for free.

I am in the process of relocating the scanner to the basement (where
my discone antenna cable comes in the house), and keeping the computer
upstairs.  This requires running about 50 ft of RS232 cable from the
computer to the scanner. I tested this out before the move and
it works fine.

Note that you cannot download or upload frequencies to the
PRO-2035 memory using the Optoscan board. That is, you can
not use the board and software to load up 1000 frequencies into
the scanner, then take the scanner to another location.  However,
the Optoscan board does make the crazy "100 channel per scan bank"
problem irrelevant, since you can set up custom-sized scan
banks in software.

Hope this helps a little. If you have questions, please email
directly since I don't cruise the newsgroup very often.

Regards,
Andrew Clegg

I have an older Opto unit, and it has yet to register even one single 800mhz

I find pagers in the 400mhz band give it quite a bit of trouble.  The same

Hi,

I'm looking to buy an Opto Scout to reaction tune my AR8000.

Fortunatly I've got a mailing address in the US.

Any advice on who to buy from, who's the cheapest, offering the
best package?

I had pretty much settled on ScanStar when my scanner arrangement
with the OS-456 stopped working. The factory said it is OK,
so there might be some problem with the interconnection cables.
Otherwise, it is an excellent unit.

ScanStar runs in Windows and lets you do instant things like
click on a particular frequency on your screen and pop right
there. So, if you hear something big or you know you want to
hear a reply right that split-second, you can do it. No fiddling
around with pushing Manual, then punching in the channel, then
punching Manual again. "BOOOOM!" You're there!

It does place a fairly hefty demand on your processor, so don't
plan on using this on your duz-it-all home computer and
still getting things done. I'm sure by this time they have
a newer version out, so it's worth checking. They have a
demonstration program, which is what I was using for the
few days I had use of the thing. Download that and see what
you think.

You might also check any newsgroup archives to find comments
from users of other programs to see what they said.

> Also what about the Optoscan 456 Lite ? Has anyone tried it ?

Never heard of it. I wonder what it does?

communications on the HAM Radio bands. With a shortwave or general
coverage receiver you can listen to HAM, Coast Guard, MIL and all sorts
of radio stations from all over the world. Have fun and Good Luck.

Thanks,
John DiGiovanni, N3LUD

Take a look at the catalog from Electronic Equipment Bank at
http://www.access.digex.net/~eeb/eeb.html

They offer several types of radios capable of recieving HF (3 to 30 mhz)
signals and other signals.

Can or will this work.  I have an old antenna that still has coax running
from it to a location in my house.  I installed a scanner antenna onto the
pole that holds the old TV antenna and cut the coax and instead ran it into
my scanner antenna.  Somebody told me that the coax needed to by 52ohms
instead of 75, but it seems to be working fine.  Can anyone tell me what
the consequences of using 75 ohms coax?  Please send replies to
[e-mail].  Thanks in advance.

From the Delaware Water Gap until you get to the Lackawanna County line,
monitor:
155.670 Base, and 155.910 Mobile.

From the Lackawanna County line to the PA/NY border, monitor: 155.580 Base,
and 154.950 Mobile.

Also monitor these statewide PA State Police frequencies:

154.755 - Car to Car
155.475 - National Police Interagency, used for communicating with local
PD's
155.460 - Tac 1
151.490 - Tac 2

I can also get you many of the frequencies for the local police departments
along the way. I went to college by the Delaware Water Gap & I live near
the PA/NY border. Let me know if you want them.

Get it soon Andrew!  What a way to find freqs.  You can search by
county, city, radio code, frequency, frequency range, company name.

Mine olny took about 4 days to arrive from PerCon.

It's also their phonetic alphabet for spelling difficult names or license
plates.  There are at least 4 different phonetic alphabets that I know of.

A Adam can also be spelling a name phonetically, i.e. Evan is Edward
Victor Adam Nora. Adam-Henry is "Ass-Hole."

As a former police dispatcher and current radio op of Oakland Co. MI Office
of Emergency Management, I believe that you are mistaken.. unless the
A-adam
is used in conjunction with another code/signal... for example...

Code 22A at the University of Arkansas Police, Fayetteville, AR, means
this:
Fire reported by Alarm... whereas Code 22U meant fire, unconfirmed...

For the most part, A-Adam  B-Boy... etc.. are used a a phonetic alphabet
for
spelling names or accurately sending license plate letters... other uses
are not
standardized accross the country and vary in most cases from department to
department...

Just the way I see it as the way that I used and lived it ....

Sorry about that.....I guess his links are messed up...I think Radio
shack changed them.
Anyways, he had a blank spot where the yes or no goes....so I guess he
isn't sure about this one....I checked it out and its in the 1994
catalog but above the picture is says "available Oct. 15,
1993"....therefore this makes me think that it is modifiable for cell
freqs. I know this does not help but maybe someone out there will have
one and help you out.

Robert,

Seems like a good buy, though new ones can be had for $229.00 (closeout
price at RS).  I bought my 2035 1 year ago for $349.00.

I love mine, but some of the memory/auto store features are weak
compared to the Pro 2042.  This is only a problem till you find the
frequencies you want to store in memory.

Do a DejaVue (sp?) searh on the 2035 and you'll find all kinds of
comments regarding it...mostly favorable reports except for the
following negative comments:

The biggest complaint about the unit is that it will store the same
frequency in "auto" search mode time after time, after time, ad
nauseam...  It can fill an entire bank with just one frequency "auto
stored" a hundred times...

If you limit yourself to manual searches, it works great and avoids this
problem to begin with...no big deal for me.

I got mine on closeout for $194.00 new - well actually "demo unit", but
it looks and operates as new - and for the price, for a thousand channel
scanner, I couldn't be happier... :)

It CAN do cellular (if it's that big of deal to you) with an OptiScan
add on board (about $200 - about what you'll save by buying one now) or
other add on board...but for me, I don't want cellular.  I bought a 2006
that (unknown to me) had the cell freqs opened up in it, and found it
boring and useless.  I converted it BACK to normal just to keep the junk
signals out of my searches...

Hope this helps...Just my two cents worth...have a great holiday season.

John

Obviously two older RS models, but are there any simple cell or other
modifications that can be done to these radios?  Plain English and or
simple diagrams would be appreciated...I'm not too swift.
Thanks,  Jon M.

Is there available archived information from this newsgroup?

I'd like to review the dialogue on the PRO 51, as I am considering

a purchase since it is on sale for $189 until 12/24/96.

If you have time to enter a more detailed response with your experience
with the PRO 51, I would appreciate your effort.

Frankly, if you recommend a better scanner, I would not be offended if
I am looking at the wrong equipment!

I thought a 200 channel scanner for under $200 seems like a good deal.

I missed the PRO 60 at $249.95...

Please respond to my e-mail direct.

Thank you.

I am also thinking of buying this since it is such a great price.  I
woas wondering if there are any mods for this; cellular or scanning
speed.  Any help would be appreciated.  Are there any sites that
have mods for RS scanners.  Posting answers to this newsgroup could help
others who have the same questions.

David,
   Link to http://www.dejanews.com/ and do a search for "Pro-51"
You should get quite a listing.
   As for the Pro-51, it is a very nice unit. Very similar to the
BC-220/230XLTs. It's price is usually way too high, IMHO. But
when on sale, it becomes a great deal.
   Be advised that this radio is only dual-conversion; so if
you live in a decent-sized city, be prepared for intermod in
the 150/160MHz and 850MHz regions due to paging and cell-phone
tower transmitters. It can be quite frustrating.
   Other than that, it's a great little radio that scans and
searchs quite briskly, has good frequency coverage and 200
channels. It's hard to go wrong with all this for $190.
   Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Well, the PRO-2003 was made long before 1994....like maybe around 1984,
but it is limited to 512 MHz.  There is no 800 MHz section in it, and so
it is not capable of cellular at all, even though the CPU might be tricked
into displaying it.  The PRO-2021 was one such example of this.

Like what, fer instance?  There are...ummmm...hundreds, in a manner of
speaking.  I wrote three books and five years worth of a monthly
newsletter that focus pretty closely on the PRO-2004 and its successors.

For starters, clip D-513 to unlease cellular.  Add D-510 to gain
an additional 100-channels like the PRO-2005/6.  Add D-514 for a
free speedup of about 25%.

That'll get you started.  There is no end to it.

Mine is working fine through the descriminator output.  I'm using a
PRO-2021 which is similar inside to a 2006 (I think).

Definitely get the registered version of the PD program.  It's worth

I an interested in hearing how this program works for you, what
exactly it does, and how well it does it.  Will it log times, dates,
numbers of individual pagers, or will it grab all data off of the
air at all times?

Where is the circuit located for viewing/construction and
where is the software available?

Thanks in advance,

I bought mine in March of 96 and it was the last one instock and I was told
that that model was discontinued.  I have not seen one in the stores up here
since (Canada).  It quit working properly three weeks ago and I took it in
for warranty work.  They are still waiting for parts and whenever I call,
they tell me that the parts are on backorder and they do not have an
estimated date of arrival.  I asked at the store about this problem and they
tell me that since this item has been discontinued, the parts are no longer
being made and they are waiting for a bunch of orders for the same parts
before they gear up to make more.

I think I'm going to be looking at a different brand of scanner.  Any
suggestions?

Ed (starting to get a little upset)

I don't blame you for being upset.  If this is the true situation, and
not just some salesperson making up information (not entirely unheard
of!), then you certainly should look into another manufacturer.
Uniden and AOR are I think the other major alternatives.

I would be more apt to blame this one-time event on mis-information
from Radio Shack personnel than a general discourse of how the company
as a whole treats its customers.
   I own and have owned many Radio Shack "labelled" scanners and have
never been given such useless drool.
   But be warned before you give up on Radio Shack; Uniden makes the
Pro-51 for them!
   Happy holidays to all!

I have a RS Pro-62 and am going to put up an outdoor antenna.  I was
looking at two models RS offers.  One is a three element antenna getting
30 mhz through 900+ that my scanner receives.  The other is the disc cone
model capable of receiving the same.  Anyone have experience with either
model?  How did you install?  Grounding? Improvements?

Thanks in advance

they heard or read anything about different technologies that can
discramble digital signals?? any info will be helpful... Because with
what I am reading in the books about everything becoming digital, I am

Ben,

I expect that the different requirements of different public safety
agencies will keep a wide variety of technologies (including analog)
employed for quite some time. --So don't go sell your scanner just yet.

Some agencies may prefer the lower cost of analog radios and not need the
advanced features of digital radios. Some public safety users have a need
for trunking; others feel that their needs can best be met by a
conventional system.

The APCO-25 trunking standard allows equipment from multiple manufacturers
to interoperate in the digital voice and data modes. If there was market
demand (i.e. enough customers willing to pay big bucks for a scanner with
an A/D converter and a DSP), a manufacturer could produce a scanner that
would receive these transmissions. Until an APCO-25 scanner is built, the
only option you have is to buy an APCO-25 radio with scan capability or
just listen to analog signals.

Neither an APCO-25 scanner or your own APCO-25 radio would allow you to
receive encrypted transmissions without the "key." These radios would work
fine for APCO-25 digital messages that were sent "in the clear."  Using an
APCO-25 digital radio allows improved spectral efficiency and many new user
features (such as embedded unit identification displayed to all users) in
addition to allowing digital encryption.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency has recetly switched from their GE
Phoenix analog VHF mobiles to Motorola digital Astro mobiles.  Same freqs,
but
digital. Don't know if encryption is used, as I can no longer monitor
anyway.  Have
fooled with Motorola for years but know zilch about Astro.  Must repeaters
be
digital as well?  This agency must interact with analog users on some
channels
so digital/analog must be programmable by mode.  Also, it is no longer
necessary to key up repeaters by two-digit DTMF code dialing: operator
merely
speaks through mic and says "(Unit #) to (Unit #) on (site name)"  Any
info on
Astro or this particular system appreciated.

Ive just got a question about Motorola 800mhz trunking.

I know that if I hear a user on say 865.5125 it will move to either
866.5125, 867.5125, 868.5125, 869.5125.  Is this ALL the time or just on
that day only?


I mean will that specific user always be on the .5125 freqs?


Many Thanks

Matt

    San Francisco will be going to trunked system and they have

Howdy;

  I'm looking at the Optiscan 456 for computer control of my Pro-2006
scanner, and have a couple questions for those of you out there who
have already installed said board into your scanners.

  First, how much of a job is installing the board into the 2006?  Is
extensive cutting and/or drilling of the case or circuit cards
necessary?

  Second, does the scanner still operate normally without the computer
connected to it via the serial interface?  For example, can I program
the scanner with the computer, then switch my serial port on the
computer over to something else and let the scanner run?  Do I need
the computer to load the scanned every time it's turned on?

  Third, what are the pros and cons of the different software packages
out there to control the 2006/456?

Thanks in advance for your replies

Bob

Personally, I think the -51 is a pretty good buy, especially at that
price.  You'd be hard pressed to find anything better for the money.

I have one and I am very pleased with its peformance. It is very good
on intermod. I work in a building in dt St Paul that has no less than 45
different repeaters on it and the pro 51 has done great. I have a pro
2026 that I hate because of intermod downtown.

I have a AOR 1000 & an r/s pro-51. It's the better of the two and a
really good buy at $ 189.00. I'd buy it again in a minute.

For Baseband Audio out, I mounted an RCA jack on the back
of the R7100A and connected it via shielded cable
to the junction of resistors R228 and R230 on the Main Unit.

This point is located in the vicinity of IC15 and X3
on the schematic.

I have been trying to search and scan frequencies with the Radio
Manager software and an AR2700 unsuccessfully.  The radio responds to
the software and scans through the frequencies (with a beep at each
frequency scanned), but does not detect any signals.  The software
developer has not been able to troubleshoot the problem.  Is anyone
else using Radio Manager with an AR2700 who has experienced the same
problem and found a solution.  I am using an AR8000INF interface
between the computer and the radio and am communicating through a COM
port.

Thanks.  Dennis.

Just purchased the Pro-2035 (in spite of the negative postings on this
group) and have not found it a bad unit. It does have the noted
problem of storing the same frequency in the automatic mode...but,
most people do a scan manually and later add to the active banks!
The unit is manufactured by JRE of Japan.

Other than this glitch...(which is not an issue with me) I find the
sensitivity is great, the audio is outstanding when attached to a
small sub-woofer/speaker combo such as available from Sony,
Altec or Cambridge Soundworks, for around $225 (or less on sale).
The intelligibility is superior, by any current standards.
The tabletop format is nice looking and has outstanding
features: AC power with DC option...tape out jacks..sound
squelch, etc.

With 1000 channel storage, wide frequency range through
1300mhz....what more could one ask for at a discounted
price of $229?  In case someone thinks the Cellular frequencies
are necessay....cards are available via URL given at the end of this
note. Boring stuff though! I have an old Bearcat BC-700A that
picks up most of them...its sitting on the shelf, not hooked up!

Since, I am unable to find the previous negative comments on the
Pro-2035...will someone explain to me just what is so bad
with this unit? Having looked closely at Scanners in the
$250 to $450 range for about 2 years...I have difficulty
in finding very much wrong with this unit and its features
for $229! I have the unit attached to an external antenna
in the attic.

I would strongly suggest that if anyone is looking for a real
buy...go and see if your Radio Shack dealer has one left
on his shelf!

I'm thinking of buying a RS (base) scanner.  My concern is that after years
of owning Bearcat's, I've come accustom to the nice blue digital display
used to indicate the freq.  The RS scanners appear to use more of a LCD
with no real light contrast to aid viewing in a darken setting.  Your
thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I have a Pro-2037, and it has a nice green LCD screen similiar to Timex's
INDIGLO watch LCD's.  I had another R/S scanner that I returned because the
LCD was just an old-fashion back-lite LCD screen.  Ugly compared to the 2037
screen.

Also,wie schon geschrieben.Der Sender Name kommt von der Tochter
von J.F.Kennedey.
Mit dem Plattenlabel hat das NICHTS zu tun.
Das erste Sendeschiff von Ostersonntag 64 bis 1980 hie▀ :"MI AMIGO".
Das Schiff hatte in den ganzen Jahren durch die vielen Unwetter in der
Ostsee so stark gelitten,das der Boden total verottet war,und die "MI AMIGO"
am 20.03.1980 in der Ostsee versank.
Dann am 20.08.1983 war RADIO CAROLINE wieder ON AIR mit dem Schiff:
"Ross Revenge".
Ostern 1994 durfte CAROLINE sogar Offiziel Senden,den da hatten sie
30 JΣhrigen Geburtstag.
In einem anderen Schreiben,war mir ein Fehler unterlaufen.Und zwar
wegen der"GALAXY",das hat nicht mit CAROLINE zu tun.
Sondern war die GALAXY (Frⁿher Minensucher) das Sendeschiff vom
Piratensender: RADIO LONDON.

PS:Fⁿr alle die,die m÷glichkeit haben,den Offennen Kanal Hamburg im
Radio zu Empfangen ich habe diesen Monat dort noch eine Sendung bei
RADIO ONLINE zum Thema:" Piratensender.
Mit vielen Infos,Jingles usw.

Pardon me if this has ever been asked before, but I was wondering if anyone
has ever found any sites featuring real-time RealAudio transmissions of
public safety communications. This seems like it would be "do-able" since
sites like ESPNET do live broadcasts of sports events in RealAudio, however
I am not sure if retransmitting public safety communications in this manner
would even be legal.

I think it would be very interesting to monitor some of the public safety
communications that go on in some of the larger cities.

Thanks for any information.

I have seen reference to "Registered Monitors" in varoius magazines like
"POP COMM" and "MONITORING TIMES".

My question is:  Why would one become a "Registered Monitor" and what it
the process for doing so?

TIA,

Kent

That was a program run by the now-defunct Communications Research
Bureau.  They used to publish a bunch of frequency lists and
newsletters back in the early 70s.  The registry "callsigns" had no
real value other than identifying you to other people who also paid to
get special callsigns.  Unless someone has picked up the program, new
registries are not available.

73 de Dave, NF2G
and KNY2DJ but I lost my certificate and can't get a replacement
because they aren't being made any more.

That address is indeed the same one from the "good ol' days".  I
wonder if he's still selling those registry numbers...

It is my understanding that Communications Research Bureau,
a/k/a CRB Research, is Tom Kneitel's company.  Tom, K2AES,
wrote for Electronics Illustrated for several years and was
the founding editor of Popular Communications magazine.

CRB still advertises in hobby magazines, including Nov. 1996
Nuts & Volts, with an address of:

And before the CRB program there was the WPE registry program run by
Hank Bennett when he was the SWL column editor for Popular
Electronics.

Kent-
   There is no such thing as an official "Registered Monitor". It is a
SCAM. There are many unscroupulous people that take advantage of the
unsuspecting hobbyist. I supose you pay a fee to this person and in their
eyes you are registered with them as a monitor. IT IS A GIMICK!!

Well, You are right in that it IS a "gimmick", however, I wouldn't go
so far as to call it a "scam"  I think that some of these so-called
clubs or groups are aimed at the younger people.  They give you a nice
certificate, and a list of frequencies in your area, along with
"official" badges, etc. Much like the secret decoder rings. This could
go a long way in promoting the scanning hobby for them in the future.

The thing that bothers me, is, that if you sign up to such a list, you
can become a target for anyone that wants to send you advertising, or
even (in a conspiracyst's mind) [sic] the government, when they come
to confiscate your  radios <g>.  In any case, I think it's really
harmless enough.

You may have a point there Doc. We really do need to make a conserted
effort to bring younger kids into the hobby. Actually, I was a registered
monitor with The World Listening Service (WLS) when I was 13. They also
had some shack accesories you could buy like log sheets. Even though they
were over priced it was pretty cool having printed log sheets at the time.
Of course now that most of us have word procesors we can make are own.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm (deep thought)   Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
I'll be damned if that doesn't sound almost like something that idiot Clinton
would mandate to everyone who owns a scanner.  Then he could tax the
listeners! Maybe instead of a gas tax for using the roads, there would be a
battery tax for using the spectrum.    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  I take it then, that you won't be a participant in the registered monitor
program we sponsor.  :-)

  Curt K4CP, Registered Monitor WRE4C

  Actually, "way back in the good ole days", the WPE program was sponsored
by the original Popular Electronics (now defunct, not the magazine that
currently carries the Popular Electronics name) was close to free.
Although I never got or wanted one (I got a ham call instead), the WPE4ABC
type "monitor identification" was very popular.

Just got the RELM HS200 from a local shop for $239.00.  A couple bucks
more than mail order but I've done a lot of business and I know if
there's any problems I can bring it back well past the 1 year warranty
from RELM.

Some quick observations after using it for a day:

1.  The PL and DCS work great.  Even better than the BC 760.  You
don't have to remember the exact frequencies.  Just turn the knob and
the appear till you find the one you want.  Also no pausing on an
active channel with the wrong PL.

2.  All ranges are about as sensitive as other good handhelds except
800 MHz which is more sensitive than anything else I have.

3.  Searching is simple and the lockout works great while searching.

4.  You can clear the contents of any channel with out resetting the
entire radio.  I travel a lot and like being able to clear channels
when I'm no longer interested in the frequency.

5.  You can change PL code with out reentering the frequency like you
have to do with the BC 760.  Nice when you don't have your tone
decoder and want to search for the proper code.

6.  Audio is good for a handheld.  Not as loud as commercial radios
but better than most scanners this size.

7.  My only serious complaint is that you can not program delay by
channel.  It's either on or off for the entire radio.

8. Onyl other complaint is that even with keyboard locked the channel
selector knob on top still stops scan or changes channel.  My personal
preference is that I be able to lock it totally.

Overall I'm very happy with it.

BTW my dealer told me that Bearcat is also coming out with a PL/DCS
handheld around February 1997.

Do any of you other RELM owners know what IF frequencies are used.  I
looked quickly and it don't seem to be the common 10.xx MHz.

After a bit more searching I finally found the IF.  Looks like the 1st
IF is 280.200 MHz.  Local Oscillator is + 280.200 MHz for all bands
except 800 MHz where it is - 280.200.

Looks like that rules out listening to cellular images.  They would be
between 308.6 and 329.6 and the radio don't tune that range.  Still a
great little radio.

I found what I thind is an undocumented feature for the RELM HS200.

When searching with the Hold option and the searched is stopped on an
active frequency the Channel Selector acts like a tuning knob by
stepping through the search range.  You can force this to happen by
breaking the squelch.

Anybody find any other features not in the manual?

Just bought two sets of remote Christmas lights from Wal-Mart and
noticed that the remote trasmitter frequency is on 302.075 Mhz.

I am looking for a list of Ann Arbor PD and Washtenaw CO
Sheriff frequencies.

I've got a "Betty Bearcat" book, but I don't think the lists
are correct - I've got them all plugged in, but I haven't
heard one iota of activity and I live right in Ann Arbor.

Thanks for any info!

Is there any way to tap into the in-car computers for police ?
Not to use them to retrieve data , but to monitor the messages being
transmitted in the same way as a scanner is used to monitor voice
messages.
I've heard them talking about logging-on , but don't know if that is
just for entering plate numbers or what . Of course I realize i'd have
to find out what frequency they're using ,and if it's trunked.
Thanks in advance !

Good luck!  MDTs (Mobile Data Terminals) are becoming increasingly
digital.  So you would not only need to intercept the transmission
(after finding out freq, and hoping its not trunked) you would need
the software to decome the signal.  I've heard of
recievers/software/etc being available on the "gray market".

I'm used to having all my radio transmissions intercepted anyway, so
having MDTs monitored doesn't worry me too much.

Sure I've seen old MDT's on the used market all the time for $150.
Problem: they have the encryption data missing. In other words they are
worthless as a radio but neat paperweights. Before you ask, no, nobody
can recreate the propper data. The entire setup is made to stop just
this action. Heck, you can even get the MDT stuff with a ham packet
radio setup. Again, it's encrypted. Give up now and save $$.

I am searching for the active NJ State Police frequencies (Garden State

I have listened to several freqs. (as listed in the book) and get a lot of
local stuff.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm usually pretty tolerant of Radio Shack, but last night was the last
straw.

I bought a 2035 (last one - they're being closed out) and there were
two 'droids behind the counter.  They each said one sentence apice to
me, then proceeded to argue in front of me about who would get the
commission from the sale!  For a long time.

The guy who won did so by actually snatching the box out of the other
guy's hands.

Then he wouldn't give up on arguing with me about how badly I need an
extended warranty until I started to walk away from the sale!

I asked him if the receiver was double or triple conversion, then had
to explain what that meant.  He replier, "Oh.  Well, I don't need
triple conversion because I live in the city.  I don't get out to the
country much."  Huh?

I once applied to a local Radio Shack for a part-time job. Keep in mind
that I am somwewhat computer literate and also have good knowledge of
scanners, amateur radio, shortwave etc., so I have a decent background
in electronics. They offered me minimum wage. I laughed so hard that I
almost couldn't turn down the job. No wonder they have probems getting
decent help.

Well, if you figure that the employees are usually less
 than 40 hr per week part time employees with minimum
wage and  no benefits, you gets what you gets. I certainly
buy electronic parts there, and even buy scanners there.
HOWEVER, I'm also smart enough to know that if I have
 questions, I go to the BEST source in the World.
alt/rec.radio.scanner and SCAN-L. The amount of information
 available here is mind boggling.  It's just a matter of knowing
where to go for what you want <G>.

I've got a friend who is an Advanced class ham who works at a RS, and he
tells me stories you won't believe.  Both he and the manager think RS
does a disservice by looking for just slick talkers instead of people
with at least some technical competence.  One woman in there was the wife
of a company bigwig; she knew little about English, much less
electronics.

My friend showed me the RS associate training manual, and some of the
answers to the mutli-chouce training test were ambiguous (two could be
right) or outright wrong!  There were too many to list, and I don't
remember them all.

Don:

FYI, the Tournament of Roses Radio Amateurs (TORRA) tend to keep their
operating frequencies fairly hush-hush due to the jamming problems
that come up every year.  (You'd be amazed at how big a target the
Rose Parade is for the yokels that get a charge out of that sort of
thing.)

Public Service organizations that you may want to monitor, and whose
frequencies are fairly public knowledge, are:

        Pasadena PD
        LA County Sherrif Dept.
        California Highway Patrol
        Pasadena Fire Dept.

If you like, I'll look up the frequencies -- I don't have them handy
right now, unfortunately.

There are five of these left in the area at $229 and I am tempted to
get one, However, I do use the cell range scanning on my PRO-43 and
would like to keep that feature. Anyone know?

Thanks,

If you install the Optoscan 535, and select the right software (eg Probe)
you will be able to recieve cell phones.

Hell Everyone,

I have a question about a product that ScannerMaster offers called
Scan/Plus, it is supposed to add 0-30mhz to your scanner, I have a
Pro-2006 and was wondering if this will add the full range to my
radio.  Thanks in advacne for your time.

If you can live with an outdoor antenna then a discone is ideal as a
scanner antenna. Tandy ( your Radio Shack I think) should have something
suitable. Is a conical shaped antenna topped by a flat section with very
broad response 30-300 Mhz ?? and some gain which is enhanced by virtue
of its elevated position. Needs a mast/eave mount.

I thought this would be the best place to put this since I have
questions about antenna(s).  I wanted to extend the listining area on my
radio as well as my hand held scanner.  I would like an indoor
antenna(s) for them but if I must, an outdoor will do.  Does anyone have
any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

The radio shack discone due to it's dimentions is good only down to 100 Mhz
but ok up through about 1.5Ghz   Discones are very easy to build...and
especially for attic applications it does not have to be that durable.

You could even make the cone out of stiff paper or cardboard
wrapped/glued/taped with a layer of aluminum foil.  The disc can be cut out of

one of those throw away aluminum cookie sheets.  Attach your feed line (RG58
or 59) with alligator clips to the center of the disc and and close to the
point of the cone as possible...leave about 1/2" spacing between the disc and
the cone.  If you like just use a plastic cup over the cone as a spacer for
the disc to set on.  Now very carefully walk this "object d' art" up the attic

steps and set it on the attic floor.  It may be ugly but it works great.  With

my MFJ swr analyzer it is less than 2:1 SWR on most of the bands of interest.

Formulas and dimensions are in the ARRL handbook.  I wouldn't do much
transmitting on it though...unless I toss some cookie dough on the disc :-)

I have the Dressler Active Antennea for 50-2000Hz.  The price is steep
but what a piece of equipment! I pick up everthing, and my AR8000 doesnt
clip at the cel bands.  It goes for $269 from Gilfer in NJ.

Radio Shack has a great discone antenna.
Been using mine for years.
Can't beat the price.

The price is good on the RS discone but the antenna is real weak on the
low freqeuncies (i.e. 25-100 MHz).  Try a Diamond, Icom or Sirieo for
best results.

At $59 it's WAY overpriced!  Build one for less than $7!

Will the $7 dollar antenna work outdoors?

This sounds very intriguing!  Do you have a picture in some kind af
computer format that I could take a look at?  If so, could you attach
it to a mail message?

    Have bought all my NEW scanners from them or
    Grove Enterprises.....which usually is lower
    priced than SW....Grove offers RadioShack and
    SW don't....plus Grove offers other makes of
    scanners.

    You get service based on how fast you want it
    shipped.  They offer all kinds of shipping.

    YOu have a problem scanner within their warrranty
    period, first 30 days, you get a replacement of
    you get your money back.

   both send catalogues and you get SW;s about four times
   a year and Grove bout two times a year...

    also SW has antennae's and Grove has a lot of books
    and software with freq's and more....

    Either one....top notch people and they always make
    you number one in their dealings with you.  Grove
    Ent's is great in that Bob Grove is available to
    speak with and he can answer most questions.

    I think Bill Cheeks, the Cheeks Guy, shops here....
    either one. or maybe Bill's books are sold at the
    two....you do the research.

I posted this note almost 10 years ago.  Thought you may find
it interesting even though it doesn't answer your question.


     The January 25, 1987 edition of the Albany (NY) Times Union
     ran an article about Robert Lyons, 39, who owns Scanner
     World, USA, the largest scanner dealer in the country.
     Perhaps you've seen the Scanner World ads in Popular
     Communications Monitoring Times, or any one of 18 other
     trade publications.

     The 13 year old company operates from Albany, NY, and
     employs 9 workers, including Lyons' mother.  Lyons started
     in business at age 19, before there were scanners, by
     trading used CB radios.  Now selling 60,000 scanners a year,
     Lyons claims a 12 to 13 percent share of the scanner market.
     He boasts that his main competitors buy their scanners from
     him.

     His scanner catalogs are mailed quarterly to 150,000
     prospective customers, free of charge.

     Lyons, himself, doesn't own a scanner, but his mother finds
     listening to her 7 scanners exciting.

A friend of mine ordered a set for his Sportcat 150.  After about a week,
he threw them in the trash.  He said the stock rubber ducky antenna was
better.

I don't know what you mean by GOOD, but you can check out
http://www.li.net/~j4dice/scanli.html It's probably one of the busier sites.
If you don't find what you want there, there are dozens of links to other
scanning-related sites at http://www.li.net/~j4dice/links.html

Our radio station actually has one G.E. radio programmed by Oakland
authorities.  But we need monitoring of Oakland in other locations,
too.  The G.E. is too expensive to buy again.  Anybody have a suggestion
on how to makeshift monitor the G.E. trunking systems?  I'd be willing
to live with listening to park & recreation as well as the interesting
stuff.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Yes the next best thing is buy a BEarcat or RS scanner and have a
G/wiz board installed,we have done over 70.00 and it is great/.

If you do NOT know about the G/WIZ board call me toll free at
1.800.729.4373 THE HAM STATION.

OK this is kinda stupid and will probably not be worth trying but:

 I know that the School Busses in my city use radio's to communicate
with the schools about late arrivals and so on.  I think they probably
use cb's but I can't be sure.  does anybody have any ideas on how I
could pick this up and what frequency it would be?
Thanks.

School busses in the St. Paul system typically use some VHF around the
156 range and some use business band UHF.  The radios we use in the
school are the 5 watt Motorolas that fall typically in the 156 range.  I
can't imagine that traffic being too interesting except for an
occassional call to the police for that extra rowdy kid.  If you are on
a fairly high/good vantage point you could pickup quite a bit of the 5
watt in school stuff which could be of moderate interest sometimes.
Since I create some of that traffic myself I can tell you it is only
moderately interesting.

Mine was on back order for a couple of weeks when I purchased it from
EEB.  There is some kind of buying spree going on in scanning.  I have
had a number of things on BO, from books to software, and they were
purchased from different vendors. And certainly xmas doesnt help!!Keep
after them,  its worth the wait.  Where did you hear of Ace, I'm not
familiar where they advertise?

I ordered one for a friend directly from Opto last week and had it in two days
, so it isn't a supply problem.

I was told by several mail order places that Opto is _only_ going to sell
direct, starting in '97.

Might as well just call direct.

Dennis,
I made a flawless transaction with a seller of aused AR8K in Denver
recently.  I live in VA. We discussed price via e-mail and after
deciding on that, the seller sent the scanner COD.  Of course, you
have to have faith that the COD package is really the scanner, that it
(scanner ) works as described by the seller, etc.
But my experience was perfect...the scanner worked perfectly as
described and the COD allowed me some assurance that I was receiving
something...
Good luck,
Dave

Hi all.

I just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience(s) with the Sky
Scan Desk 1300 Antenna.  I read the review in the current issue of MT and
it looks like a perfect solution for me since there is one way I can mount
an outdoor antenna.

Comments....good/bad?  Can it be ordered from Canada or the U.S.?

Thanks,

Jesse

I have for sale a Sony 2001 portable SW receiver, $25 + shipping.

I think the radio has a problem with the computer in that it needs a
frequent reset (by removing one of the AA batteries that runs the
computer).  After a reset, it works fine until it needs a reset again.  I
just leave it on all the time and that seems to avoid the problem.

Perhaps a tinkerer could fix this glitch.

The description of the radio is this:  Digital tuned 150-29999 khz and
76-108 Mhz AM/FM/SSB.  It is the same size as a 2010.

The set works well on SW when using an external ant.  It has one loose
tuning key (up/down   FAST button) . The freq entry keypad works properly.

Have no experience with the Sony, but do own and use the Escort
9100............excellent sound quality, no static compared to
"regular" cordless phones.

Allen,

I have the SPP-ID910, is that the same thing?  I really like mine, the
sound is clear and the batteries last several days - I haven't seen or used
the escort

I built a Ramsey and use it with a PRO-2006. Ramsey does its job well
within its limits. The major problem is that you can't tune the inversion
oscillator. This means that if the pitch around which the recieved audio
is inverted isn't the same as the Ramsey is using then the decoded voice
will be pitched higher or lower than it should be. In my area there are
scads of cordless phones. Maybe 2-5% of these are inverted. Most that are,
don't match the Ramsey. The few that do come out clear as a bell. All the
Ramsey's inversion is done in an IC by MX-COM, an outfit specialising in
voice security. The crystal on the IC is the 4.something MHz PAL
colorburst. You can change the crystal, but you can't get good frequency
resolution that way. You'll need to vary the master clock from 3 to 5 MHz
in perhaps 250 Hz increments to make a practical general-purpose
monitoring device out of the Ramsey. The Ramsey is full-duplex, and fine
for securing yout own comms, but for the scanner user it's not the best.

Have not tried Ramsey. I did build and review the TVS-250 from
Securicom in The Phone Book. It works just fine, is not difficult to
assemble, and the audio is very good.
However, the basepoint at which frequencies are swapped is fixed will
all such inverters I know of, using a standard chip. If the audio
isn't good, maybe the signal isn't good.
The TVS-250 is more expensive, at about $80.
Securicom is in Chatsworth California. Will dig up the phone number if
you want it/

On the Tait 3010 (and other many other radios) "Econ" indicates that the
Economy mode is active.  There are three levels of economy mode (low,
med and high) the difference being the time it will take an inactive
radio to assume this mode.  When in economy mode the radio briefly
samples the RX and other circuits of the radio to see if there is
activity.  The economy mode in the Tait can also be deactivated using
programming software.  The three function keys can be programmed to do
many different things too.  ie: scanning, handset mode, light, monitor,
call, aux, hi-lo power etc.

I've been playing around a bit with some of their equipment lately and
have been quite impressed.  The Tait 3020][ is an excellent radio, IMO.

Cheers,

Andy

Hello Andy!  Long time no type.

Do you have any experience with the older Tait radios?  I have a
couple UHF models that I have no need for, would you be interested in
them?

Don't really want anything for them, heck, if you are interested, find
something in the junk box to trade.

These are older diode matrix programmable.

Let me know!

  Just plug the adapter into the phono plug end of the cable, plug the
adapter into the tape recorder, and plug the other end of the cable
into the earphone jack of your scanner.  Yes, you do lose your speaker,
but I fixed that by Tee-ing off the tape recorder input with a y-cable
and an external amplified speaker.  It sounds better than the cheezy
scanner speaker anyway!

   BTW, I swear by Sony recorders.  Radio Shack is a necessary evil,
I've concocted this version of an attenuating cable because RS's
ready-made cable is a piece of merde.

Good Luck

What's wrong with RS's attenuating cable?  I just got one, and it seems
to work fine.  Does the attenuating adapter with a regular cable work
better than that?

I intend tapping audio output directly from the discriminator on the
PRO-2006 for data decoding.

I believe that the output is from pin 9 on the chip labeled IC2 on the
main circuit board (10420).

I have included below, a basic plan view of the main board showing the
location of this chip (apologies for the primitive artwork).

Can anyone confirm if this is the right place to take the output from
and if it is safe to solder hookup wire directly to the exposed top
section of the leg of pin 9 on the component side (this would save
having to disconnect the many connections to this board in order to
gain access to the lower side (where there are many SMT components).

What is it safe to drive directly with this output without risking
burning out the IC? (I intend using it with the hamcomm interface)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

Most recent model Oki brand cellular phones have an undocumented
feature that you can amuse yourselves with. If you enter the proper
commands, your phone will work like a scanner and you can listen to
the conversations of others.

Try this at home kids!

-Press keys 7 and 9 simultaneously.
-Press menu, send, end, rcl, sto, clr sequentially
-Press keys 1 and 3 simultaneously

You should now be in a special test menu.

If you have a portable you must either:
      -press #, 7, 6, snd
             or
      -press #, 7, 7, snd

  (one command routes output audio to the earpiece, the other command
   routes the ouput audio to the ringer, which is louder)

-Press #, 7, 9, snd
  (this command lets you enter certain subsequent commands
   with one keystroke)

-Press 2  (this command unmutes the receive audio)

-Press 9,0,3,6,0,0,8,0,0,0,2,snd

Your phone should now be scanning between channel 0360 and channel 0800,
the last two digits (02) represent the scan speed (01 is faster 03 is
slower etc). Pressing # stops the scan, pressing # again resumes the scan.
To scan with new parameters press clr and repeat the last step.

If you're only interested in on specific channel, say channel 100, press
9,0,1,0,0,snd


.
.
.
The real fun however, is flipping the carrier on and bumping the person
on the land-line end of the conversation off the cell, and telling the
mobile phone user to please deposit 25 cents or pretending to be at the
location where the land line user is and improvising from there.

The ScannerMaster for Massachusetts  too is pricey and they'll stiff you a
couple of bucks on the postage. The latest version is hard to read because
they squeezed the type to microscopic sizes and printed on cheesy paper
but this guide has a lot of good information. But what are your
alternatives? Police Call is fine for $10 but it barely scratches the

With all due respect to your opinion, I disagree.

Scanner Master does cost more than the other directories, but you get
what you pay for. They have done research to not only provide just
frequencies, but information on the communications systems in the area
the volume covers.

Police Call is a nice frequency directory for the price. That's all it
is, however. It is not a communciations system guide. If all someone
wants to do is throw a few local public safety channels into a scanner,
then Police Call is fine. If someone wants to do serious SIGINT and uses
their scanner as an information acquisition tool, then the additional
information in Scanner Master is invaluable.

Remember that, unlike Police Call, the Scanner Master guides are
written by hobbyists who live in the covered areas.  If any guide has
gone out of date, it is either because the author cannot do another
one, or because Rich Barnett at Scanner Master was dissatisfied with
the way the book turned out or the number of copies sold.  If there is
not enough demand for a first edition, there will not be a second.

That is currently the situation with the Upstate NY Guide that I wrote
- it isn't selling very well and there probably won't be another one.
Part of the reason for the poor performance is that dealers west of
Albany won't carry it.  If you live in upstate New York and want to
see Scanner Master products on your local bookstore shelves, talk to
the owners, managers and buyers and let them know about it.

I wouldn't care if they charged 50 bucks for it, the SM NYMetro/NNJ
guide is still a bargain. There is no single regional guide that packs
as much info.

For the most part they are sourced from the same manufacturer that AOR
used (except for the AR8000). AOR revoked Ace Comuunications' license to
sell their brand, so they are importing them under a different name.
The models range from quite good to truly awful.

The answers given to the questions below refer to the newer BC760's (with
the BNC antenna connector).  Older versions (with the "Motorola" style
antenna connector worked differently).  The type currently sold are of the
newer/better version.

Yes you can either skip the PL entry and move on to the next channel, or
enter "0".

Greetings,

Has anyone heard any details on the forthcoming Uniden Trunk Tracker
scanner?  I am thinking about purchasing a BC-9000XLT, but don't want to
spend that kind of money if this new radio is destined to replace it.

I talked briefly with a Uniden representative today, and the he said the
Trunk Tracker would be available in about 3 months.  He also thought that
the price would be about $400 (which, interestingly, is lower than the
9000XLT), but he wasn't certain of this.  No other information is
officially available.

Any information (or educated speculation) would be appreciated!

Regards,
Mike

Will any of the handhelds include Alpha-Numeric tagging like the 9000XLT?

I hope they did the right thing and make this EIA-232 capability
useful, and not some weird, hard-to-use protocol that requires
tons of computer to take advantage of.

Of course, this assumes it is a 2-way port. It is 2-way, isn't it???!!!
I mean, this will allow remote control, yes??

If this thing really works, it might be the first Uniden
product I actually like!

Will these scanners also be capable of picking up the other bands such
as VHF Lo & Hi, UHF, Military, etc. ??  I am also thinking of purchasing
a 9000, but I will gladly wait for one of the new models if they will do
everything the 9000 does plus follow trucked systems.

Typical Cop control freak you post publicly you get posted back

wonderful it is to do business with you. You got your money get past
it.

This is gone on far too long, you whined, you got your money, get past
it. Some of us are tired of your bitching. You don't like UPS don't
patronize UPS it really is that simple. Now may we get back to
rec.radio.swap and leave rec.radio.conti.whine?

Part of the fine print on the agreeent you sign to ship stuff allows
them to cash instruments made out to you. They then have control of the
capital for a few days. With the large amounts involved this can
generate substantial interest. While your capital does not linger all
that long the amount they are holding does not diminsh because as yours
goes out someone else's arrives maintaining a large ballance that
contnues to collect interest. Profit from this defrays other costs of
doing business. Fedex doesn't do this and charges more. Quid Quo Pro.

                    Hope this help you understand Jerry

Since everyone is clearly interested in this thread, I'll add to it.
I worked this December as a Driver helper for UPS.  My advice to those who
ship radios from late November until Christmas.  DON'T!!!!!!!!!!   UPS is so
overloaded during this period, they don't have room for a driver in the
trucks! The guy I rode with had to make 30 or so stops some days just to
get room in the truck for me to get in the thing!!  The boxes get trashed by
just about everyone who handles them.  It's not done on purpose, but in order
to make 200 or so odd stops fit in those little trucks, the boxes have to fit
in there somehow.  Wait until after Christmas to ship anything by anybody.
Tyler

PS...DAMN THOSE CHRISTMAS HAMS EVERYONE SENDS!!!  DAMN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!

Both PerCon(http://www.perconcorp.com/) and Grove(http://www.grove.net/)
sell the FCC listings with their own access programs. PerCon comes on a
CD while Grove's can be had on floppy(single state) or CD.

I have both, and while PerCon is much cheapr($30 vs. $99), I prefer
Grove's program for data retrieval.

Does anyone remember when USSN went under the first time and when they
came back? Also when did they start publishing their frequency almanacs
and is it true the first California Almanac was missing the city and/or
county of Los Angeles?

The sheer number of requests for V-Link phone freqs and descriptions have
inspired me to make a "repository" of sorts. All V-Link Freqs are there
and a brief description
http://www.orst.edu/~varineb/v-link.htm

For 900 MHz phone freqs go to:

The 900 MHz are at the bottom.

I've been pricing out some Bearcat 210s and 210-XLs for a buddy of
mine.

The going rate seems to be about$50.00 to $75.00 for a XL and $35.00
to $50.00 or so for the older,  non-XL 210.

Btw: I still have mine, backing up my Pro2006. It was refurbished in

Matt,
The MTX810 is a trunked system radio, it should have a phone patch on the
front? Anyhow, in CA the last time I checked on the asking price (three
months ago) they were about $300-$400, used. Although they are old, I have
used them for over six years and find them to be extremely dependable and
durable. You also asked about the A/B/C switch. In a Motorola Trunked
System there are talkgroups, or SubFleets as M calls them, and that switch
is to change to the different SubFleets.
As for the other radio, I don't think I've come in contact with those yet.
Hope that helped a little

Mega Dittos,
[e-mail]

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
    to speak up.

They don't really mean much.  The prefixes above simply denote the product
line.
HT is an older crystal portable, while the GP series are new programmable
handhelds.  They do NOT have any relevance to frequency of operation as there
are "HT-90" units that were made in numerous frequency ranges.  Some of the
MTX units can be configured for numerous options such as multi-PL, paging,
scrambling, scanning, etc. even though they are older crystal units and use
plug-in tone active filters for all tone signaling options.

Very over-priced frequency directory.  Get Police Call instead.  The
only way to force prices down is to boycott publishers who charge
outrageous prices for their directories.

I've been using the ScannerMaster directory for the last three or four
years.  For the information you get it beats Police Call hands down.

   You have to consider that POLICE CALL books are for the first-time
   buyer of the info therein...they need something on shelves which are
   RS controlled and that is what they do: it sells well to all who are
   buying their first scanners.....

   For the more advanced listener they get to learn that better sources
   are available and will gravitate towards them.

   Plus there are many stores not in most large metro areas that stock
   scanners and other CB stuff and they offer the more advanced copies.
   A lot of them produce their own versions and include the many new
   info bits they glean from people who frequent their store.

   bill conduit
   etc.

has anyone tried this yet. Sounds to good to be true!

The software control panel offers easy to use features which control all
aspect of the scanner. The external audio-output jack may be connected
to a separate speaker or the "line-input" on your computer's sound card.
When using your computer's sound card you then have the option of
recording
output as "wav" or other file formats which may be supported (sound
record is a feature of your sound card and options will vary by brand)

Conventional scanners are limited to a finite number of channels - not
with WiNRADiO ! Now you can store as many frequencies as you like,
limited only by the size of your computer's hard disk drive ! Multiple
files may be saved and reloaded from the disk, and, WiNRADiO will
automatically search a range of frequencies you specify and store only
those frequencies with transmissions in your database !

                                             TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

     Receiver Type: PLL-Synthesised, triple conversion superheterodyne

     Frequency Range: 500kHz - 1.3GHz

     Tuning Steps: 0.5kHz - 1000kHz (5Hz BFO for SSB and CW)

     Modes: AM, SSB, FM-WIDE, FM-NARROW

     Sensitivity: Better than 1.0uV (nominal); typically 0.5uV

     Audio Output: 0.2 watts into an 8-ohm load

     Antenna Impedance: 50-ohms

     Antenna Connector: BNC

Most of Wireless intercoms operate in the 180 Khz - 300 Khz range, just
below the Standard AM Broadcast band.  They operate in FM mode and
transmit through the wiring of your house.  They cannot be monitored
beyond the main power line transformer that feeds your house.

I have a pair of old Realistic Wireless FM intercoms with 2 channels.

   Channel 1  operates on 200 Khz FM
   Channel 2  operates on 160 Khz FM

They use the wiring of your house as an antenna and have a range of
about 1000 feet.  I used them several years ago to talk with a
friend of mine that lived across the street.

John,
KA3LIE

ps: the model number of the intercom is Cat No 43-217

I have a Wireless intercom system in my house... basically a plugged in
walkie talkie.  I lost the owners manual, and am wondering what
frequency it might transmit on.  it just says " wireless intercom FM "
on the front, and nothing interesting on the sides or bottom. i suppose
it would be in the 88-108 MHz range.. but would this be able to be
picked up by my radio? my scanner blocks out that range.

The model that you are referring to is the Maxon 49-B5.  It's a
49 Mhz Base Station with 5 Channels (49.83, 49.845, 49.86, 49.875
and 49.89).

I think the intercoms that the original post was inquiring about
are the wireless units that work over the electrical wiring in a
house.  They generally operate in 160 Khz - 200 Khz range in FM
mode and can only be monitored with a Shortwave receiver that has
it's antenna hooked directly to ground.

Hi Steve,

I don't think that's correct!  Most of the Wireless Intercomms that I've
seen operate in the 150 - 300 Khz range.  They are operate in FM and
utilize the electrical wiring of a home as a transmission line.

I think Maxon made these some years ago.  If it is that model, they are
on the 49 Mhz band and are 100 Mw radios.  They had a telescoping antenna
and use the standard 5 channels asssigned to these devices.

: Hi Steve,

: I don't think that's correct!  Most of the Wireless Intercomms that I've

Try the 46 - 50 MHz range.  Lots of walkie talkies are between 49.5 and
50 MHz.

In some areas, the Electric Company has started bridging transformers in
order to conduct remote meter reading via carrier current transmission.
If such is the case, then those carrier current intercoms will transmit
past the feed transformer.

Within the last week someone posted the URL of a radio page based in the
Wisconsin area.  One thing I remember is information on wisconsin
hamfests.  I should have bookmarked the web page but did not.  Can
anyone repost the information so I can do it this time?

Thanks!

Cause you have to be rich to own one. They are way overpriced but give
them a year or so and the price will drop.

Maybe because it is so new and because not everyone can afford it at
$900. I have just started my review, and so far it is really hot.
Sensitivity is better than the Scout, plus all the neat other
features- DTMF, etc.
Squelch is somewhat critical- you have to keep it set to the ambient
RF level or 'floor' for max sensitivity. Also, the antenna used makes
a VERY big difference. With the supplied telescoping type I can walk
past a messenger I know to be on 900 MHz and not hear a peep.
Use the optional DB-32 stubby antenna and BHP-800 high pass filter and
I pick them up across the street.
My complete review will be posted on my web site. Eventually.

I've got one, been playing with it for a while.  Very sensitive, much more
than my Scout.  I have a lot of problems with images from strong signals
appearing all over the place.

I agree.  I have the 802 cell filter and can back the squelch all the way
down to 1 bar and can pick stuff up from quite a distance.  Since most of
the stuff I'm looking for is in the 155 or 440mhz range, I use just a
good dial-band antenna and the range is impressive.

With the Scout I walked within 5 feet of a guy in a resturant with one of
those headsets -- couldn't pick up a thing even while he was talking.  With
the Xplorer I easily picked him up even with the wrong antenna from about
20-30 feet away.  (Could have been further, but I could visual verify the
audio in this distance).

It's a pretty slick little package, kinda a Scout on Steriods with Audio.

The largest market in the world for scanners is the USA.  It outstrips
the demand for scanners in all other countries combined by a wide
margin.  Therefore, most scanners imported anywhere are likely to be
US-legal models because the manufacturers won't bother with small
production runs with different specs.

There are companies, such as Yupiteru, that manufacture mainly for the
non-US market and have cell-capable scanners for sale.  It is not
legal to import those models into the US, although individuals order
and receive them all the time.

73 de Dave, NF2G

(And before somebody makes a comment about the legality of individual
import vs. bringing in quantities for a business - the law regulating
cellular-capable receivers is not written that way.  There is no
statutory exemption for individual hobbyists.)

I'll handle this one, Bill.

What he said is that that scanner DOES NOT HAVE CELL FREQUENCY
CAPABILTIY.  Never had it, never will.  It probably doesn't receive 20
meters or AM broadcast, either.  No amount of diode clipping will
"restore" something that was never there in the first place.

I would add that by searching in small chunks of frequency (i.e. 280 MHz
- 285 MHz) you can cut down on the number of repeat frequencies
auto-stored by the 2035.

Those antennas use the angled rods which travel downward as the
radials, and the smaller horizontal rods as the radiators.  If you add
a vertical rod to the top of the assembly it does not have a ground to
react against, insomuch as the vertical part would be conductive to
the horizontal parts, therefore, no tuned ground plane.  Even if the
vertical part is 1/4 wave at your desired freq., it still has a
terrible vswr.  You would be wise to use the antenna as it was
designed for higher freqs., because even the ones with the vertical
rod added for marketing advantages don't work as advertised in my
exprerience.  There is the added possibility that the vertical
addition detunes the antenna from what it was designed to do.  Also,
the longer downward angled rods are not long enough for the vertical
element to utilize as a ground, again, no tuned ground plane.  If you
could make the vertical element a full wave it might work, but that is
not practical because it would be around 25 feet, even matching a 1/2
wave element with a balun leaves you at 12 feet, not practical in a
high wind. Try a commercial Cushcraft Ringo type antenna for low band,
cut it per Cushcrafts chart, and it really works great, and under
$100.00.

Yes and no.
Yes, it picks up images in the 1100 MHZ range.
No, not where your Pro-43 does.
Over all its a good scanner.
I traded one for a Pro-43 and I am happier with the Pro-43!

Moble Scanners in Nj are NOT illegal. The only way they become illegal
is if you use it to evade speed traps or in commiting a crime. Since you
sre traveling from NC watch out for Maryland State Police. They are very
tough and will pull you if you are even 1 MPH over the limit , so please
dont speed in maryland. Anyway here's some frequencies:
NYC
154.25-Manhattan FD
154.37-Broklyn or Bronx
154.4- Queens FD
154.19 Staten Island and Broklyn or Bronx
Nyc-Pd
Just search from 470.000-to 475.000

NJ
NJ state PD use 800 mhz
heres some summit frequencies
478.5375 Pd
156.15-pd
155.91-pd
154.68-pd
154.175 fd
154.205-fd
154.335-fd

I bought my BC230XLT from Ace Communications at
http://www.acecomms.com/Scanns/bc230.htm

Their current price is $209.95 for the 230 without Cell Mod.  Most
advertisements I've seen show about $40 for a cell mod to a BC220 (same
as the 230).  I'm not sure if Ace will do the mod for you, but if not,
$250 seems like a more reasonable proce then $300.

Good Luck.

David

        This sounds like the line I used to get when I told people I was learning Tae
Kwon Do, and later Hap Ki Do: "Don'tcha have to register your hands and feet
with the police as dangerous weapons?" The director said he had a canned
response: "Tell me how you'd register me, and I'll do it." Like registering
hands and feet, I don't see how one would register a scanner hobbyist, and to
what purpose that would serve (except to line someone's pockets with a "small
fee").

I am new to this newsgroup, and this may well have been covered
before...

I am looking for info. on how to use the remote socket on the back of
the AOR AR-2002 scanner.     Can it be interfaced to a computer, or is
there a computer program that can control the unit.

Any information on this scanner will be appreciated.

Thanks

Around here, power customers can sign-up for a program where the power
company can switch the customer's air conditioner off at will during
peak hours.  I would guess that would also involve carrier current
transmission.

I haven't tried a signal on the power line from here for a while.  The
results might be interesting at this time.

You're splitting hairs.  No police department does the full job of
"law enforcement" if you want to split up the definition the way you
did above.  What I said was correct, and I stand by it.  And I'm not
hiding behind a fictitious username, either.

So were you [doing OK until that last sentence].

The Department of Justice enforces the law but the FBI has been assigned
the investigative jurisdiction. The DOJ has to follow through with the
results of the investigation and make a decision as to whatever action
will be taken to enforce the law, and especially since the U.S. prison
system is a Bureau under the DOJ, although I guess tehnically any actual
enforcement might be up to the U.S. court system, or maybe even left to
God himself. :)

I need your story! :)

I am interested in posting a web page dedicated to accessing police
and public safety communications in the age of digital and standard
trunking.  The page I'm proposing will have the following objectives:

(1)  Educate police and other public safety agencies about the
importance of allowing the public to monitor the key patrol
frequencies for their respective communities.

(2)  Educate the same parties about the methods currently being
applied, proposed, or developed by other agencies; and to demonstrate
that it is up to public service agencies to take part in an active
solution to this problem, not a forced or legally coerced solution.

(3)  Educate the general media about the new isolation of the public
from basic police operations trunked and digital systems impose, and
to demonstrate how some agencies will passively exaggerate the
security issue in order to avoid public or media scrutiny via the
airwaves.

(4)  To serve as a resource for scannerists in specific geographical
areas.  The page will highlight the alternative methods for monitoring
local police and fire activity.  For example, if X County sells radios
to the public, this page will present information on how to buy such a
radio in X county.  This element will specify the whos and the hows of
going about monitoring police activity in your area.

I'm doing this because scanning public safety agencies using a
conventional scanners will soon be a thing of the past.  My page
assumes that public service agencies, for the large lot, are not
hostile or otherwise opposed to allowing public monitoring of basic
patrol channels, even though they may be restricted by budget
considerations to enable such a service, or harbor other genuine
arguments.

To begin my page, I need as much information as possible from
individuals living in areas that are currently using trunked and/or
digital systems.  More importantly, I need descriptions of what, if
any, means said agencies are providing for the public to ingest live
radio communications.  For example, I've heard some areas are
supposedly simulcasting standard patrol frequencies over conventional
VHF/UHF frequencies, as well as cable television channels.  I would
like to hear from people in those areas.

This is a very important social issue that will gain significance over
time.  I want to have the premiere site dealing with it by March of
this year.  Your input would be great!

I apologize in advance, but this message may be reposted approximately
twice a month until the page is up and..."posted". :)

Thanks!

Dave

I'm looking for a replacement battery pack for my BC100xlt. Its only 5
years old and the battery pack is totally worn out, will not hold a
charge. Isn't that an unusually short period of time for it to go bad? I
do leave it plugged in too much, I'll admit that. Any hints/tips on how
to keep it from happening again?
I tried the Metro West battery pack, but that lasted only 1 year and
would only hold a charge for about one hour,two at the most. I still
have it, someone said I could open it up and replace the single cell
batteries inside, but that's beyond my abilities(at least I admit it!!!)
I'd sell it cheap if anyone wanted it.

I have two high quality direct analog synthesis synthesizers for sale. These
are Programmed Test Sources PTS160. They cover .06 to 159,999,999 in steps of
1Hz. They have the built in TCXO or can be referenced to an external source of

5 or 10 MHz. Power is AGCed and can be varied from about 0 to 16 dBm.
Switching time is between 5 and 20 microseconds depending on the frequency.
All the units have the rack mount and GPIB and parallel interface allowing
them to be fully computer controlled. Spurious outputs are down
-75dBc(discrete), -35dBc(Harmonics). Phase noise is -63dBc(.5 Hz to
15KHz),-105dBc (100Hz), -115 dBc(1KHz). Power is within 0.5 dB flatness
between .1 and 160 MHz. Price is $550 shipped. Current price on identical
units is around $7000. These units are surplus from used NMR imaging equipment

and are in great shape. For more information please e-mail me. Thanks

Aside from using names/words instead of letter, units ae asigned a name
designation.  Here in NYC units in precincts have letters (names) instead
of numbers, such as:

105-Adam (1st unit)
105-Henry (8th unit)

or Emerg. Serv Unit has: Truck 1, Adam 1, Boy 1, Charlie 1.

the word is the designation, the number is the ESS Unit (we have 10 ESU
squads, ESS=Emerg. Serv Squad).

Does Florida law prohibit using a handheld scanner in your car, or does
the law just pertain to installed mobile scanners?

Not necessarily. For example, it is not correct for the PRO-2006.

Regardless of the scanner, you want to scan frequencies that are the
cellular frequencies plus/minus  two times the 1st IF frequency.

If the first IF is 10.8 MHz, then the example given by Michael is correct.

Tim,

I'd be happy with 5 years.  I have a 2500 XLT and only get a year out of a pac
k.
I do have some NiCds that have gone six, but most seem to go 4 for me (I do ta
ke
care of them).  There is a bunch of mail order places to get a new pack from.

Pickup one of the scanner magazines and go thru the add's.  On-line, www.grove
.net
for a replacement pack.

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.

Reprints of articles from Monitoring Times are available
for $2.00 each plus a self-addressed stamped envelope from:

No not really.  There's a big difference between the new(er) Tait units
and the old ones that I have seen.  I've seen some old Tait base
stations, actually not that old but about 1983, and it wasn't a good
one, IMO.  Plenty of room for improvement.

You'd probably move them at a ham fleamarket - that's where I "recycle"
my old junk.

I've never seen one like that before.  Are you sure you aren't thinking
of "Tad" ?  I guess the older Tait ones weren't very popular in north
America!

Cheers,

Andy

I know that they are sold by Grove who publishes MT.  You would be
better off buying Police Call and saving the difference for a future
scanner.  The price of Scannermaster is outrageous!

The Pro 51 is only a "double" conversion scanner.

        Uhmmmmm, Steve?  I've got this feeling that there's a bit of confusion here i
n
that Bill is saying that the CE-232 actually programs *the scanner itself* and
you and some others are forgetting that the Opto board *doesn't* but instead
handles everything *but* the scanner's memory.  Now...  Combine a CE-232 with
a
TCF-4 unit and you'll even have all the PL and DCS tones *and* be able to
program the scanner's memory so that you'll *not* need the computer to listen
to
what you've found.

        Don't get me wrong...  {BSE GRIN!}  I've got Opto boards in all my 2004s and
2006s.  I also have TCF-4s hooked up to several of them and am *finally* getti
ng
around to getting off my dead duff and ordering several CE-232s to complete th
e
`mix' here.  Now if there was a way to follow that dammed GE trunking...   I'd
be a *very* `happy camper'!

Steven - while some of the comments you included may be regarded as
mildly offensive (eg calling someone a moron), I hardly think the few
I've selected would be "harmful to my mental state" (ie they can be
taken in their stride) and if you feel that Thomas is extremely rude,
I fear _you_ have a problem.

You might view this posting as rude, but I cannot say I feel the many
quotes you posted would offend more than 1% of Usenet readers.  Peter.

PS I haven't ever seen a posting from Thomas in rec.radio.shortwave,
    so was surprised that you felt the need to "warn" us.  I'm sure
     most individuals can fight their turf, if necessary, but as I
      wrote before, I don't believe Thomas, from the postings you
       quoted, would cause me any offence.  No doubt someone who
        is "blunt" or "frank", upsets your sensibilities.

I am interested in buying the Sony Air-8 scanner but have encountered
problems.

Here in New Zealand, Sony New Zealand deny ANY knowledge of such a
scanner even existing. I know it does as I have not only read messages
talking about it, but I have seen pictures in a catalogue fror the
Transair Pilot Shop.

Can somebody please give me the contact address and phone/fax number(s)
of place(s) which they know stock this scanner. It has become inevitable
that I must order it from overseas since our "Reputable national Sony
distributor" have NO KNOWLEDGE of the scanner even existing.

I would also appreciate some idea of pricing for this scanner.


Also, if you know of any scanners which receive the Aircraft band and are
CHEAPER than the Sony air-8, please again, give me the contact address
and phone/fax numbers of such places, as well as price.

Thanks in advance
KM

I don't know much about these things, but they have a heavy metal
case, good looking power connector, and appear to be built like a
rock.

Heck, we don't have time for hamfests much anymore.  Too busy with the
commercial stuff.  Shame really.

Nope, I even had a TAD M8 I think it was.  That was another great
radio, just tough to programm.

Well well well. It seems that when mackey appears, so do you ()though in
this case, on another newsgroup).
We don't want to hear how adverts are not tolerated.
Also, were prices mentioned? NO! That is not an advert.
What I read looked more like a product description than anything else.

If you don't like it, post an e-mail to the offending party, but don't
involve the rest of us!

Has anyone used any of the Mini-circuit filters for your Freq Counter to get
better ranges?  Can you make your own low pass, high pass filters?

Why is it always the same whiners who have contributed nothing to the
monitoring hobby. Whiners: sit down and stick to news in the group's

As I understand the law, if it is in your car it is moble, regardless of

OK, I can see where some of his comments might me mildly insulting. But do you

Well, that is an image and/or intermodulation.  Essentially it is an
undersired signal.  Technically possible as well as likely.  I hear them
ALL the time.  A scanner with triple-conversion however is supposedly
more immune to such garbage.

The convertors were made illegal when the law requiring scanners to be
unable to be modded to receive cellular was passed.

I wondered who the other TCF-4 customer was.  :-)

Up till now, I thought I was the only one using the thing, since
nobody ever knows what I mean when I mention it.  I want to figure out
how to use the numerous input channels to the CE-232 to "talk to" the
TCF-4.  AFAIK, the company that built the TCF-4 isn't making them any
more (no profit), and when they were around, they weren't too
informative about communication with the device.

453.250 MHz for the WM itself.  When I worked at National, we had a

I have had good luck with a pager decoder from a company called
IEC. It uses the pd202.zip program. I can get very close to 100%
copy when connected to the external speaker jack of my BCT-7 or my
BC-300 scanner. The decoder comes as a kit for $19.95 or built for
$29.95.  I am very happy with it.
The phone number IEC is 1-800-417-6689.

>Thanks.  Dennis.

I got the same results with Radio Manager. I figgured it was an
inherent timing problem. The only way RM knows if there is an active
channel is to send a query to the radio and wait for the response. Add
in some time for processing overhead at either end and you end up with
it taking too long. I think the scanner is on to the next frequency
before RM has a clue. This is just my guess as to why it doesn't work.


I'd be interested in knowing if this is the real problem. I also
wonder if the AR8000 works in this serial only mode. Anyone know?

Does anyone have any frequencies for Laughlin PD and the Nevada

Put clamp-on ferrite cores at BOTH ends of the monitor cable.  ie up next
to the monitor and where it comes out of the computer cab.

My newer 75M Pentium doesn't seem to have any RF problems, but my older
8088 system generates a h--- of a lot of noise on both the video and
keyboard cables.

Radio Shack carries these for about $5 apiece, but I have found them for
$1 each at the TRW Ham Radio swap meet in El Segundo CA.

Thanks to all that responded. Its a good deal, but because of my metro
situation, I'm not going to attempt to get by with a dual-conversion
scanner. I guess the pro-60 is the way to go.

Thanks again,

Since everyone is clearly interested in this thread, I'll add to it.
I worked this December as a Driver helper for UPS.  My advice to those who
ship radios from late November until Christmas.  DON'T!!!!!!!!!!   UPS is so
overloaded during this period, they don't have room for a driver in the
trucks! The guy I rode with had to make 30 or so stops some days just to
get room in the truck for me to get in the thing!!  The boxes get trashed by
just about everyone who handles them.  It's not done on purpose, but in order
to make 200 or so odd stops fit in those little trucks, the boxes have to fit
in there somehow.  Wait until after Christmas to ship anything by anybody.
Tyler

PS...DAMN THOSE CHRISTMAS HAMS EVERYONE SENDS!!!  DAMN THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!

I have a photocopy of the mod page for this that Grove Enterprises
sent me about 8 years ago so that I could do this mod on my old
MX-5000.

I must warn you, its not easy to do (soldering in a small area) and
the mod only increases the scan rate up to about 9 ch/sec.

If you are interested, please email me with your snail mail address
and I'll mail the sheet back to you.

I think the only legal way that a private citizen is allowed to operate a
scanner in a motor vehicle in the state of Florida is if they posses a
valid amateur radio (ham) license.

Well, that's a possible answer, but I believe it's a result of big
business putting pressure on the government to keep their phone calls
secret and away from "prying ears"...

Cellular phones are a multi-million dollar industry, and they want to be
able to assure their customers the phones are "safe" to use - or they'd
lose sales.

Dollars run the world.  Right or wrong, it's a fact.  It's always been
that way, and it's not going to change.

Just my thoughts...

The range you talk about are Television frequencies. from 470-806
according to the "Radio Spectrum Allocations in Canada Chart"
As far as I know there nothing is Blocked in canada but I may be wrong.
I know I can listen to cellular but we do have the secrecy act which in
rough terms means that anything you hear on the scanner cannot be used
or repeated unless the person that has said it gives you permission.
And the norm that you may not use the scanner for criminal activity
the scanner I have is a realistic PRO-35 it's Ranges are...
29-54
108-136.975
137-174
406-512

Now a question for everyone... Does anyone know a modification for this
scanner that would enable it to listen to cellular ???

What's wrong with a little information that somebody new finds and shares
it with others?  I'm sure you've never given information to us that was
already been told to us by someone else.  For your information, you
smart-ass, I've never seen this information before and found it
interesting.  Keep your criticisms of others to yourself unless they're
helpful in some way, like mine.

When traffic comes over it, the screen will display the 'system ID',
and you can then program it to only receive that system, ie Polcie
fire, janitors, etc.

It pertains to both handheld and mobile scanners in your vehicle;
however, if you have a ham license this restiction does not apply to you
(go figure).

Locally, many schools use 155.295- I would recommend checking
frequency lists such as Radio Shack"s Police Call Plus-they list many
local school districts.

Are their any Canadians who know where we can obtain a
Murata Erie CFWM455D I/F filter?  I would like to try the
replacement to attempt to cure the 800Mhz clipping problem
I am experiencing in my AR2700 when I first turn it on.

According to the AR8000 article by Steve Donnell
(http://www.pacifier.com/~ussn)(?) this will cure the problem.

In my AR2700 I get audio clipping (in 800 Mhz) until the unit
warms up then all is well.  Also, if I go to manual mode and
increase the frequency I'm listening too by 5Khz the audio is
perfect, its the bandwidth that is causing me problems.  I'd
like to try the 10Khz 'D' model of the filter instead of the
stock 'E' unit to see if it helps.  If I'm running from the
adapter the AR2700 warms up VERY quickly BUT from batteries it
takes quite a while.

My service manual shows this CFWM455E mounted at location CF202
on the I/F board.

Can anyone quote a Canadian supplier/price?  Most of the American
800 numbers don't work up here in the cold north!!!   :-)

Thanks in advance!

My local Radio Shack has a "new" unit for less than $230.  Yes there
would be tax on that, but there is also a warrentee.  From what I've been
told, the price will continue to drop until all the units are sold.
Anyone desiring one can have their local RS look for one "in the system"
in their computer.  As long as they are still out there the price will
keep dropping.

I'm looking at buying a BC890XLT and was wondering what benefits are to be
had by using the VFO control feature.  A local store is going out of
business and is offering a BC860XLT for $150.  Would this be considered a
good buy?  I understand the major difference in channel capacity
(200vs100), but I'm mainly concerned if the VFO is worth going after or
does the BC890XLT just plain beat the BC860XLT hands down.  Your thoughts
are appreciated. Thanks!

I was going up the scale the other day... going from 133 to 137 MHz...
and what I wanted to do was to get to 145 and so forth, so I could
listen to ham radio and 2 meter radio.  To my surprise, my Pro-43
stayed on 133.375 and I overheard a cellular transmission... I
remember that it was a cel phone because a woman was talking to a man
<husband and wife, presumably> and he said "where are you at"... and
she said "at the club, I am on your cell phone>... I thought that the
only cel phones were between 868 and 899 or something like that..  I
live in Massachusetts and the provider is  CELLULAR ONE...If you have
a scanner.. scan those frequencies and tell me what you find.

I was recently in San Diego, CA and I heard San Diego City FD refer to a
couple of incidents as "Code N".  This went out on the dispatch channel
after an incident has been working for a while.  It wasn't used in place
of the incident type, but it was appended on to the end...Like "Canyon
rescue...vehicle over the embankment...this is a code N incident".  Does
anyone have any idea what a "Code N incident" is?  I would appreciate info
on this, as SDFD normally doesn't use many codes in their FD dispatches.

I saw a posting awhile back about an "All Day Audio Recorder for Windows
95", but I didn't get the "address" to D/L it from.

It has a squelch control and saves files as windows *.wav files.

Anybody know what it is?

I rememeber the message said it was cool, and I would like to find out
for myself.

Anybody have any oppinions about this program?

Please post the address if you know it, or email it to me.

Hello Stranger,

Did you return it to radio shack?

If so, it helps if you outline the problem you are having with the
radio.
Some (read lots) of technicians are rather lazy.  In fact, most that
I've met will often fix the problem but not fix the REAL problem that
caused the failure.

There are many circuits inside a scanning receiver that could cause the
problem that I think you are describing.  If I had to guess, and I don't
like to do that, I would say the antenna connector has come disconnected
from the receiver inside the unit.  Failing that, the first transistor
in the receiver chain is probably blown out.

These are guesses though.

I wonder how old they are?

Likewise, but I still find a lot of stuff piling up.  The last
flea-bag-market I was at shoved 650$ in my pocket.  I figure that's
pretty good for a days work especially considering that I didn't sell
anything that I really had a use for!

Noted.  A friend has one of these contrivances.

Is there a mod for cellular for the Pro 26?  I have one source that says
there is.  I would like to get a few more references before I attempt
it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I have a PRO-51 with a date code of 7A4.  I have read that holding the 2,
9, and L/Out keys while turning it on will load test frequencies into
channels 1-25.  Although the other test modes I've tried work as
advertised, this one does not.  Does anyone have any info regarding this
or any other mod to the 51?

I purchased a GRE Super Converter for a  hand held scanner from Grove less tha
n
a year ago. The last couple of Grove catalogs, no longer list the converter fo
r
hand held scanners, only for desk top scanners.
BTW, the unit works as advertised.  It moves frequencies 400mhz down.

Thank you, sir.  I found the phrase "smart-ass" to be exceedingly
helpful.  Your post wouldn't have been nearly as valuable or

Word I got was about 10 years old, or so.  Not sure, just don't have
the time to mess with them.  Much prefer hooking a spectra up to the

While listening to JCPD on my scanner I repeatedly hear officers
saying to each other " Go to Ch 8". I can not find it
anywhere,however. Does anyone know which freq JCPD uses as Ch 8. I've
spoken to several officers whom I personally know and they have said
that they have a ch8 and it is used as a talk arouund so as to not
disturb normal dispatch but that it is unscannable. Any comments on
this?

All,

I am looking for Vancouver/Clark County, WA frequencies. I know
that the public service groups share a trunking system with
Portland, OR but I was looking for more up to date info. I'm
interested with all and any freqs, trunk groups and whatever
else on public service, media, business, miltary, goverment, etc.

I have Monitoring America, Police Call and some info from the
WWW pages. Just looking.

Happy Holidays...

EDP = emotionally disturbed person

TOS = (in transit) Theft of services (i.e. farebeating)

RP >>> RMP = radio motor patrol (fancy jargon for  a police car)

outstretch >>> outreach = HOU = homeless outreach unit. Picks up
homeless and vagrants from subway stations on their request or if 32F

Three blocks in the _open_ has been my experience. I had trouble calling
(signalling) the other unit just across a soccer field.

Your experience may differ - I was not impressed with the range but was
impressed with the technology - the ability to specifically call a unit.
When this technology matures I will be very impressed. This is true
personal communications.

Buy a pair, try them, take them back if not satisfied _and_ let us know.

 In strong signals areas you can get what's called intermodulation where
several strong signals mix together and create phantom images which can
appear on any frequency. When I hear a unexpected signal- I check it on a
scanner with a different IF-frequency.  If I don't hear it on the second
scanner I know it was just "intermod" and not a "real signal".

Good Day to all!
        My family and I are driving up to Summit NJ for a few days after
christmas.  I had a couple questions about legality and frequencies.
1) In NJ mobile scanners are illegal, right.  Is this enforced? What
precautions should I take? ........also.....
2)  I will be travelling from NC and wanted to get some frequencies
mainly for police and highway patrol for NJ and NY.  Summit is fairly
close to New York city....Any cool frequencies for New York?
Hey...Thanks and
Have a very good Day!!  ;-)

I was looking for a recent post about a frequency converter. Someone
replied that they were illegal. Frequency converters are still being
sold. GRE makes them and you can find them at ScannerWorld or at
Grove. Frequency converters will take frequencies in the 806-912Mhz
range and drop them down to the 406-512Mhz range. Grove has a model
for the desktop scanner and www.scannerworld.com has a model for both
the desktop and handheld. If you dont want to do a mod on a scanner,
this is the way to go. I do not work for either company. I dont have a
converter. Just feel that GRE wouldnt put out junk....and my Pro-43
works pretty good.

Sidetone is a feedback of what the speaker is saying into his/her own
ear with a slight delay.  Might also be called an echo.  I had one
phone that was so bad about this that it actually went into an
acoustic feedback howl if tapped.  I'm sure that one was defective,
but others were almost as bad.  Some were tolerable.

I'm told that this is characteristic of digital systems and you just
have to get used to it.  I don't know that for certain.

Thanks for the tip, Bob!  Really fun to listen to other facilities, even

 Yes, but would he get 75 miles?

Actually I was being a little bit facetious, (no, a whole lot facetious), and
neither of our suggestions would be legal in the eyes of the FCC.

 A much better solution would be to get a 900-Mhz cordless, which will
inherently have better range and is better in every respect.

I have an old Tv antenna that is not in use right now. Can I run the
wire from this antenna to my scanner? Does this wire have to be a
particular kind? If you know the answers to these questions you are then
considered the "God of scanners". I do not really want to buy an antenna
if I can get this one to work.

Thanks for any info you can provide.

Norm.

I am on the prowl again for decent scanner control software.

So far, I am still unimpressed.

Probe does not seem to have an option to download a demo
on their Web page. If I recall correctly, I once had
a demo version of Probe but it had tons of typographic
errors that made it jarring and difficult to use.
Is there any way to get a demo?

Scanwear's demo didn't let me do anything useful, unless of course
I live in San Diego. Plus, it looked more like a Windows
database program than a scanner interface. I prefer
the basics without a lot of bells, whistles, and fancy icons.

ScanStar version 5.84 looks identical to when I last tried
it 8 months ago, and it is still damned hard to edit frequencies
in the Data Manager. This is the most promising of the
ones I used, with its "Tactical Display" that lets you
see as much of the channel lineup as possible.

Is the currently shipping version of ScanStar
identical to the demo or has the demo remained stagnant
while the real product has had improvements?

What others are out there? I refuse to buy a license for
any of this stuff without trying it out first, whether
I have to go to a dealer's shop to use the real thing
or download a demo. The demos lead me to believe that
I would not be happy paying for the release versions.

Comments?

75 ohm coax will work just as good as 52 ohm coax, as long as you don't
plan on transmitting with it.

Laughlin, Nevada is served by the Las Vegas Metro Police. All of the
hotel/casino radio freq's are listed in the book "Beyond Police Call"
along with the local fire and Bullhead City, Arizona freq's also.
Same book has listing of all Hotel/Casino's  in Las Vegas and
surrounding area.  I believe there are also a few web sites listing
this info also. Wait to see what else is posted.

It means the scanners are capable of tuning in cellular phones (portable
phones).  Because the laws in the U.S. don't allow scanners like this to
be sold, the older ones like the 2006 which receive cellular are sought
after.

I do not have that particular piece of software, so cannot fully
comment, however, there is a valid  point about the time overheads
associated with some scan/search routines.

There are instances where, to get the s/w working properly, the s/w
must wait for the radio to issue a "Signal Strength" report that
contains data as to the squech state, and frequency string.

This does take time (even at 9600).

However, If the SCAN command is issued to and interprated properly by
the 8000, then it is the routines WITHIN THE 8000 that should cause it
to stop on an active frequency, not the s/w. This assumes that the
8000 is properly set up on BOTH the radio side (correct mode, sqelch
set correctly etc) and that the comms parameters  of the radio and
computer are the same.

Very important is the delimiter compatibility. With the 8000, it must
be either CR or CR,LF. It is possible for the one unit to be set to CR
and the other unit (radio /computer) to be set at CR,LF AND it will
seem to work, but this does have unpredictable results.

ALSO, If you go into the AR8000 Config and alter the speed/delimiter,
you must switch off the radio and then switch it back on for the new
parameters to take effect.

Another point, have you tried communicating with the radio at a slower
speed? This can help if there is data corruption ,but could
exasserbate the situation if it is a timing problem ( the computer s/w
will have to wait even longert for a response from the radio.)

>I'd be interested in knowing if this is the real problem. I also
>wonder if the AR8000 works in this serial only mode. Anyone know?

The only "User accessable" method of communicating with the 8000 and
2700 is via the serial port.

Gee, wouldn't it be wonderful for it to have a full parallel i/o port
be on the back with a fullsize "centronics" connector!!!! He he he!
Now there is a mode for someone to mind boggle with!

Using filters doesn't increase your range.
It blocks/FILTERS out unwanted frequencies.

If you want more range, buy an amp.

I use a Mini-circuit filter to only hear 800Mhz,
It blocks out local pager towers and fm radio towers.

Motorola SmartNet trunking systems now go to 28 channels.

You'll find that they generally allocate the next channel in sequence for
calls ie. ch 4, ch5, ch6, ch7,ch 8, ch9 etc. This may vary deoendant on
if they have telephone interconnect or reserved data channels or other
"weird" configs.

My guess is Adelaide (State Bank ?) doesn't have anything other than
telephone interconnect.

You will probably find that the system is at least 10 channels - with the
portion being between 860 and 865. They are allocated in block of 5 all
ending in the same ie. 5126, 6375 etc.

Hope it helps.

Sidetone is a feedback of what the speaker is saying into his/her own
ear with a slight delay.  Might also be called an echo.  I had one
phone that was so bad about this that it actually went into an
acoustic feedback howl if tapped.  I'm sure that one was defective,
but others were almost as bad.  Some were tolerable.

I'm told that this is characteristic of digital systems and you just
have to get used to it.  I don't know that for certain.

Of course the law reads you can not install any frequency modulation radio
receiving equipment "so adjusted or tuned" as to receive messages or signals
                     ====================
on frequencies assigned by the Federal Communications Commission to police or
law enforcement officers of any city or county of the state or to the state or

any of its agencies.

Seems to me the statute does not restrict the operation of mobile scanning
equipment completely, only equipment tuned to law enforcement frequencies.

I need some information on the following:

Uniden Bearcat 20/20
Dynascan Cobra SR-900

My parents were given these 2 scanners and would like to find some
information on them. Manuals and possible mods.

TIA.

1) NO. Mobile Scanners ARE LEGAL in NEW JERSEY ( but not NY).

2)Yes Summit is relativley close to NY; however I think you will fair
better trying to monitor NJ. For your drive trough Jersey I suggest
programming in the 800 Mhz Trunked NJ State Police system.

2 freqs to check out for NYC with strong signals would be FDNY on 154.190
& 154.25

I am sorry Jon,
I don't know the first thing about you,
I do know something about the 2006 and the opto 456.
I know you don't need to remove anything to put it in.
I know if you want to cut down on transformer heat to use
a 12 v supply.  I wasn't trying to mar your reputation,
but I was trying to figure out why you ripped out the transformer.

Ok, here is my public apology.....

I'm sorry.
You sound honest.
I in no way accuse you of being fraudulant.
You even put in your ad that you yanked the transformer ( way too honest )

My concern was/is that you didn't need to mod it  for the opto !

I Richard Reider, do not , nor have not had any experiences with Mr. Jon
Van Allen.  I do not wish to questioning his honesty.  He has in no way
done me wrong, or anyone I know.

The mean man,
Richard Reider

Heard something interesting today.
The local PD announced to all ETS units that the South Tower was hot.
That was all she said at first (didn't dispatch a unit or anything). I
then tuned the City South of us, and they announced that North Central
was hot (but again, did not dispatch a unit).  Later, they did dispatch
a unit to a local grocery store, based on the fact that last time
North Central went hot, it was that store.

Then, I heard some officers talking about the ETS going off, but that we
didn't have any bank robberies reported.  One officer was asked if he
had an ETS unit in his car, he replied yes, but it was an old one, and
wasn't going off.  The Sergent asked if anyone was tracking.

A bit later, the dispatcher came on and announced that the South Tower
was cold, and that they had contacted all businesses, and it was an
apperent false.

What was strange, is that they didn't seem to know where it was coming
from.

Any ideas what ETS is?

Merry Christmas folks,
Steve

        I want to be able to receive the 40-50 MHz range clearly from
grerat distances.  If you don't know, this is the range Cordless
telephones, baby monitors, and Police opertate in.  Some of the
antennas I have looked at say that their best range is above 100 MHz.
But what could I use to get under 100 ?

I have heard this exact same thing before on my scanner too. I live in
oregon and we have cellular one and at&t wireless (now Airtouch
Cellular) it really made wonder what the hell was going on.

Not sure why you have such a problem with this, most of us on the

Probably stands for 'emergency tracking system' or something close.  The calls

you heard were very similar to what San Diego PD does when they have a 'bank
bag' with a transmitter iin it taken in a robbery.  They have numerous
recievers around town, with signal strength meters that the dispatchers can
see.  They direct Officers toward the signal, based on the meters.  Once the
mobile units get close enough to catch the signal, they handle it on a tac
channel.

... Between two evils, always pick the one you've never tried before.

There are a couple of tricks to use when working a "rare" one in a pile

I believe the 2700 has a status line on the battery compartment
connector that indicates when it has broken squelch. I think it is
connected to DTR of the computer serial port. This is what I was
refering to when I said serial only. I'm wondering if the AR8000
software uses this status line.

Welcome back to the newsgroup Peter Boe. I disagree with you. IMHO, I don't
believe Bill is using this group for his personal gain. He _does_ use this gro
up
to share his enthusiam for scanner radios and their improvement with anyone
who asks. In this process, he has accumulated a very large body of information
regarding same. One of the most convient method of disseminating that data
has been through the publication of books just like the ones Bill has written.
Since technology continues to advance and new models of radios appear on
the market, he has an increasingly difficult task trying to keep current. This
newsgroup provides an extremely rapid method of communicating with others
who share his passion and trade information with him.

As far as personal gain goes, if you write a book, you should get paid for it.
So should Bill. If you, can, write your own. No one is stopping you. In Bill's
most recent book he has included a variety of information provided, and duly
credited, from many other people. IMHO Bill is not mounting any sort of a new
campaign. I don't pretend to speak for him and I am not doing so now. I think
you are misinterpreting what you are seeing coming from Bill on this newsgroup
.

Also, shouting is unneccessary. I can hear you just fine.

I got a weird one then too!
On my Motorolla Minitor pager
crystalled at 154.2800 MHz,I am quite
positive I heard a cell. conversation.
In only one "sweet spot",as soon as I
moved the slightest it was gone.
Moved the pager that is.
Pager was clipped to my truck's
visor.

Jeff,

        What it will display depends on the the Type of system
used in your area. If it's a Type II system you'll see a number
corresponding to the talk group, eg. 48 or 1680 or 14432 or some
such. If it's a Type I system you'll see the fleet-subfleet of
the unit eg 002-5 or 700-1 or 501-7 or similiar.

Hi, what you have there exactly,is a situation that I have seen in the
PRO-2035/2042. When the PRO-43 is tuned for 133 MHz, it's First Local
Oscillator is running at about 742 MHz (133 + 6091st IF)= 742 MHz. The
second harmonic;x2 multiple is 1484 MHz(742 x 2) This in turn acts like
an entirely separate LO, that can in turn combine in the scanner's Mixer
stage with any very strong Cell signals that you are near: 1484 - 875 =
609 MHz and be heard as a received signal. For a bit more detailed
explanation on this, see my aricle about this and how it can in some
cases be exploited further in this past Febuary's Monitoring Times 73s

What? Freq \converters illegal? ;-)  Listening to cell freqs yes,
but not converters for god's sake.

You can find the converter kit at JDR electronics.
Sorry, don't remember phone, but they are in Computer Shopper.

All the best,

I'll explain how I do it and you can draw your own conclusions;

I use a 1 meter (3ft) dish feeding a dipole feed (with the gain I have a
circular feed is not required) cut for 1.53 Ghz. This runs into a 30 db (sub 1

db noise figure) LNA (Low Noise Amp) that then goes directly into an Icom
R-7100. I receive the voice channels full quieting and can use the squelch.
The easiest way to look for a signal is to put the reciever on 1537 Mhz (1.537

Ghz). This is the AFRTS (Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, US Armed
Forces) channel that is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You need to use a program such as STSPlus (a satellite predication
programming) to compute the Azimuth/Elevation to point the antenna since the
pointing parameters are dependant on your location.

I have been told that loop-yagi's work but can't vouch for it.

Hope this helps answer your question ... Jim

YMMV

It will work, but needs a little "modification" first.

The antenna must be rotated 90 degrees so the elements are verticle,
as most radio transmissions are oriented verticle, not horizontal.
You must also be aware that TV antennas are very directional.  You
will recieve very well in one direction, and not nearly as well for
the other 320 degrees or so.  This may or may not be a good thing for
you.  Most folks that use TV antennas for scanning do so for the
directional, high gain characteristics, as in pulling in cities 150
miles away, while attenuating everything else.  Most antenna leads are
300 ohm.  You'll need to go thru a transformer (cheap) to get it to at
least 75 Ohm.


Mark

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

So far what I have heard about this scanner sounds good.  I was wondering
if the talk group number that is displayed for a Type II system is the
radio ID#?

Sounds like this will be a great scanner for those who scan trunked systems
and
just wnat to scan Fire Dept. or Police and skip the BS like Highway
Maintenance
or public transportation like it is in my small community.

Also has anyone heard of a price that this scanner will sell for?

Thanks.

Roland Stiener says:<<I know that they are sold by Grove who publishes MT.
 You would be better off buying Police Call and saving the difference for
a future
scanner.  The price of Scannermaster is outrageous!>>

No offense to Police Call, I have bought it every year since 1979.
However, Mr Stiener must be on a different planet. Scanner Master is the
best damb book out there covering the Metro NY/NJ market. It's 3 times the
thickness of police call and covers a much smaller geographic location.
Therefore, it is full of background information you won't find in Police
Call. Also, the way it is set up if you wre interested in both Metro NY &
NJ you would need to purchase 2 volumes of Police Call. The price may seem
high, but this is the kind of book you only buy once every 3 or 4 years,
so if you break it down it's a small investment for such a comprehensive
book.

Did someone re-post it or something?  Flatted5th sent that about 2

Don't get to worried about it.

Several of us are monitoring this NG to ensure stability.  Notice that
the last couple months things have been pretty nice compared to what
they were before that during the Cheek wars.

If action is needed, I am sure it would happen.  But at this time
it doesn't appear to be at that point.

Why wouldn't it increase the range at which your Freq Counter would pick up
signals?  You are filtering out the unwanted frequency range to pick up the rf

in the frequency you want.

I can hardly believe someone would be so bothered by this that they would

Good idea, Blake!
Gawd, is this crap starting again?  The last time I checked 'out' of the
group for a spell, a run of 'Lets Get Cheeks' threads was just dying off.
Two things I noticed then.  1.  It wasted bandwith,('cause nobody cared)
and 2.  Not one of the mutts sniping at BC ever contributed anything
besides whines and BS to the Newsgroup.

Sorry if I stepped on anybody's toes, but that's the way I see it!

No! You're at it again, chump!

Why do you insist on trying to stir the pot (just when its settled
down)? It was quiet around here until about 3 days ago. Then you, PJB
and J Mackey Jr. decided to stir it up again.

Give it up! We don't want another 8 months of crap!

Warren,

A Uniden customer service rep recently stated to me that he thought it
would sell in the $400 range, although he wasn't certain of this.  I have
heard others on the newsgroup indicate that $600 might be closer to
reality.

Regards,
Mike

Hi,

The Sony ID910 is actually a rebadged Tropez model and is Digital but not
Spread Spectrum.  I liked the backlit display and keys, but the CallerID
functions were not adequate for me.  I returned it for the Uniden EXI-906
(?) which is basically the same feature set (900Mhz digital, long life
battery, CallerID in the handset, etc.) but does all of them much better
than the Sony for the same ref retail ($199).

HTH,

-Scott

Does this Uniden Trunked Tracker only work with Motorola trunked
systems?  Here in San Antonio the Police use GE/Ericsson I believe, and
would be interested in getting such a scanner if it was compatible with
other systems, besides Motorola.

HE's BACK!

It appears that John is out to destroy as many newsgroups here, and
echos on FIDO, as possible.

 I suspect PJB will just be cool, but it looks like John is going to
be up to his march through scannerdom again.

This shows what Mr. Tyler knows (or should I say doesn't know) about antennas.

First, if you don't want to monitor the 225-400 MHz military air band don't bu
y the antenna.

Secondly, it does not matter where you mount the antenna.  It doesn't know tha
t it should be
mounted on an airplane. Granted, you should have a small ground plane.  I moun
ted mine on a 2 ft.
diameter piece of aluminum and threw it in my attic crawlspace.  It out-perfor
med any other antenna
I tried on the 225-400 MHz band.  It is far better than a discone and what els
e is there that covers
that frequency range (with a 1.5 db gain above an isotropic antenna).  I have
heard the space
shuttle as it orbitted 150 miles above the earth over So. Carolina ( I live in
 Eastern PA) and routinely
listen to military traffic 100-200 mi. distant from me.

I also mounted one on an aluminum project box, bolted magnets to the box and m
ag-mounted the
antenna on my truck roof with great results.  There, the roof acts as the grou
nd plane.  Also, it is a very
small and compact antenna, easily transported to airshows, etc.

....and guess what Mr Tyler, neither my house or my truck can fly and the ante
nna worked well on them!!

I think it was the IC-W2A that had two antennas.  I do have a better
recommendation:

The Yaesu FT-50R with modifications is the BEST 2m/440 HT with Scanning
abilities.  It has 5 search banks and 100 memory channels.  It supports
CTCSS(tone and tone squelch) as well as DCS.  If you are tuned to a
specific frequency, you can scan the CTCSS/DCS tones on that frequency
to find the proper one for the service you are scanning.  With mod, the
unit can scan continuously from 76-999 mhz (almost!).  The unit can be
easily opened for full range transmit (for emergency purposes only!).  I
have about 10 scanners and have been a ham for 27 years, and this is the
best compromise I have seen between a scanner and 2 band HT.  I bought
it at the Dayton Hamvention, and really wondered if I did the right
thing-I DID!  This is the unit that accompanies me on all of my trips!
NOTE:  The optional keypad is necessary for CTCSS DECODE and DCS.  It
also adds a neat digital recorder for playback on the air!

The unit is also very intuitive to use.  I highly recommend it!-AND only
ONE antenna!

 I thought that the sum difference of two higher frequencies was always higher
and usually found at a known or calculated harmonic. Sure you could use one fr
eq
and minus it with a stronger image and go down in the spectrum but I have yet
to
be convinced that harmonics can go down as well as up.. Suppression and
different if stages normally have predicatable results. Back to the subject. I
live in Rural Australia and we only have one carrier and one sub leaser the
former being Telstra. I recently lost a Municipal Approval to erect a 63cm
repeater and later found out that Telstra wanted the site for the new digital
service. Now that the system is up and running you can hear the normal garbled
noise in the digital range and Analouge in its respective place. But I to came
across a conversation one day just above 70cm. As its pretty quiet on the band
s
around hear I started seaching 30 megs each side of the initial freq with a
Standard Spec an a FRG 9600 Icom RC7000 , Standard AX700 and a pro 2022 these
numbers vary from country to country. The spec an showed a definite group of
signals at 30kc spacings above and below the 70 cm area.. All scanners were
fired up to see just what it was and especially the pro 2022 as it is great fo
r
picking up birdies and other images due to its IF. I thought some of the local
s
had given 63cm away for privacy and were freebanding around there with modifie
d
dual banders. As it turned out the signals which to this day are as clear as a
bell are still both base and mobile transmissions from the digital part of the
spectrum. After a bit of sticking my nose in at certain sites I found out that
indeed the signals were digital phones. Due to geographical location a lot of
the signals are transmitted in the clear across to a analouge service then
resent up to another repeater that is digital. I never got to find out the rea
l
reason for this but a lot of Digital calls are diverted through various system
s
and can be heard quiet clearly while in transit to other repeaters. As for
images the Marconi 2965 and my Standard Test bed do not pick up images. The pr
o
2022 does but it failed as well. All of these systems are running on bronze co
re
multi trap antennas and some are on dipoles. Each unit aslo has a Tokyo 130U o
n
it to improve reception. Even with these turned off the signal is still there
both on voice and the spec an. I use rg253 Hardline on some of the antennas an
d
the other have nitrogen filled LDF 650 with Andrews and King Connectors.
Maybe you have a sitiuation there. Sigtec Australia helped me out on this one
as
well with a digiscram that works both ways and getting into synch with the
digital signals higher up is almost instant while I can still listen to the
unencoded portion around or above 70cm. I have yet to find out the reason for
crossbanding { well its not crossbanding they are all UHF } but this is not
uncommon in rural areas.
Just sharing my thoughts and getting ready to open my crissie pres a AOR8000
Cheers

Yes, it can be made to work better than the antenna on the scanner
itself.  Be sure to turn it on its side to make it vertically
polarized, also be sure to have RG 6 cable matched to the antenna with
a transformer.  Now RG 6 is 75 ohm cable, and I am recommending that
because it is going to be difficult for you to find a 50 ohm matching
transformer and cable solution.  You see, the antenna has a 300 ohm
match at its terminals. To find a 50 Ohm transformer with a 300 ohm
imput is difficult.  But if you could, then use RG 58 cable, which is
52 ohm cable and that would more nearly match the input of your
scanner.  Now back to the 75 ohm cable.  Since this is a slight
mismatch, use an amplifier at the end of the cable run (scanner end).
A 25 db boost amp will do nicely.  Pojnt the antenna at what you want
to monitor.  If the antenna is a VHF UHF fringe antenna, it will have
a narrow beam width.  The larger the antenna, the more narrow the beam
width, and the more narrow its directional path.  It is therefore very
directional.  If the antenna has few elements, then it is not a fringe
antenna, and its look will be less directional.  Hope this helps.

Jeff,
        The talk group ID and the unit ID are completely different
in a Type II system. The individual unit ID is transmitted to the
central site controller by the requexsting mobile. The site controller
looks up that radio's current talk group affiliation and it it that
which is seen on the LCD.

A friend of mine is looking to purchase a first scanner, and has found a
fairly good deal on a PRO-63 "Event Scanner." Is it worth spending the
money for something that doesn't do 800MHz and doesn't bill itself as a
"Direct Entry Programmable Scanner," something I notice all of Rat Shack's
others do.

Should I advise him to buy the thing, or should I tell him to wait and buy
something like a PRO-25?

Thanks in advance, and merry winter solstice.

With permission, we've reprinted a fascinating story from CovertAction

computer and voice communications. While some may conclude this falls into the

"conspiracy theory" class of news, we have primary sources that confirmed
portions of the story as true. Makes for interesting reading.

Cellular Group advertises that they can modify the Pro 26 along with
many others to receive cell freq. I don't happen to have their address
handy at the moment. They advertise in Monitoring Times all the time.
Maybe someone else has their address or it is on the Monitoring Times
web page.

Might be well true about the 235XLT.  I understand that this is a dual
conversion system.  Doesn't sound promising for users in a large metro
area.  I've got one dual conv. system, and it is the worlds worst for the
800MHz range.  So lets hope that the three desktop models will have triple
conversion (at least one of them).

I also understand that it will double as a conventional scanner, with the
same bands that other Uniden/RS type scanners cover.

Capitol Hill Monitor is a great group of guys, look for
the name Alan Henney in the maryland suburban phone book.
I don't have the addresses, but if you write me back, i'll
provide it tonight from home.

They congregate also on a local BBS for the area, called
the frequency forum, a user-supported bbs (as in for
non-limited access, you must contribute $).  Lots of the
guys that write in the big frequency book published for the
area also visit this site & contribute to CHM.

I have requested information once & was provided personal
mail asap with just what i wanted!

Hello Steve. I live in NoVa and would be very interested in such a forum. I
do like the suggestion made by Patrick Kelly. A mailing list is easier to

        I will second that well stated responce to the original weird
post.   I have viewed many crude "Bill Cheek" bashings on this
newsgroup and am at a loss as to why this is happening.  As for me I
am glad to have him onboard as a professional participant to the
scanner forum.   I for one respect his radio expertise regardless of
his personality quirks, or whatever has generated this bashing frenzy.

Whenever I listen to cell phone conversations, I sometimes lose the
conversation mid way through.  If I keep scanning, I can usually find it
agin on a different frequency?  Is this because the cell phone is moving
and jumping towers or something????

You know,
you sound exactly like a local cb'er here called nugey (real name:
Micheal P. Kelly). He says the exact same thung whenever someone
dispenses useful advice to him.

I can also tell by the additional postings that you have lived up to
your M.O. by starting what you said you wouldn't do. I guess your
actions are more truthful than your words...

Yes. If you listen, you'll hear a series of AHNK AHNK AHNK before you lose
the transmission. The tones are the cellular system's way of saying, "hey,
here we go, we're switching cells *now*."

I'm sure someone will jump in with information more accurate than mine at
some future point.

The cost of the book is $40!  For that money, you can upgrade your
copies of Police Call every year, not every four years.  Yes, you do get
some info from Scanner master such as PL tones.  OK, granted.  But for
that price, I'll go and find them myself.

Scanner master is way overpriced!  Get Police Call and buy yourself a new
scanner in a few years with the money saved!

No it's because they detected that someone was monitoring. Cell systems now
have the MASDP (Motorola Anti-Scanning Detection Protocol) so as soon as the
system detects a scanner it will switch to a new frequency. ;-) Just kidding!
It just means the subject moved out of the coverage of one cell and has been
handed of to a new cell site.

I agree wholehaertedly with Richard Kendrick on this point.

I have also sent copies of the e-mail bomb to [e-mail] and
[e-mail]. I am sure they will be very interested in why one
of their users is spamming e-mail accounts.

This spamming is indicative of a very juvinile mind (about 2 years old,
I should guess) who has nothing better to do with his time.

I just hope he has lots of maney to be changing servers, because thats
what is going to happen.

Just thought I would let you guys know this.

Eric.

will we be able to edit the display to show which talkgroup it is

           I'm curious as to whether or not a CB and/or toy walkie
talkies can be modified to use different frequencies.
           For instance;  I work for a place where I can get ahold of
crystals with, say, 7.91430  MHz written on them.  If I was to get 2
of these and solder them into the slot originally occupied by the
walkie talkies' 49 MHz crystal, would that work?

           As far as CBs go, if I bought an old CB that was crystal
controlled, then went to RadioShack and bought those ancient scanner
crystals and plugged them in, would this work for both broadcasting
and receiving?


Thanks in advance for any help.

EDP is Emotionally Disturbed Person
Outstretched is someone (usually homeless) lying on the floor blocking
pedestrian traffic..it was mostly a Transit Police (NYC) term meaning a
stinky, ripe barnacle (barnacle meaning living off the support of

I don't care to start a war but some of these guys who are touting the
scanner master book have not revealed their affliations with the
book's authors, publishers and distrubuters.

The book is definatley the most comprehensive compilation of info
about NYC metro scanning out there but the new edition is not all that
much different than the older version, I bought the new edition and
felt a bit ripped off because the updates were few and not that
important.

The moral is, if you have the old edition of Scanner Master, I do not
advise getting the new one, if you don't have a Scanner Master and you
need the most info about NYC metro scanning then get the Scanner
Master book, either one will do!

The same old standard phonetic alphabet (which you would use to describe

years now.  So, I finally decided to come up with something a bit more

I was wondering if anyone has found a way around the problem with some
newer automotive radio/cassette player using the CD adapter. I have a
new 97 Chevy PU with the basic cassette radio. Apparently there is a
feature which prevents using the CD adapter that I have used for a few
years in my other vehicle. After inserting it a few seconds go by and
then it is ejected. Apparently this is because of a feature with this
type of cassette player.

Also does anyone have experience with the FM radio devices they have out
for sending a signal to your radio?

Thanks for any help.

On a whim, I picked up for $10 at a pawn shop some sort of monster called
a "Digital Flight Scan." It appears to be a 16-channel, crystal controlled
scanner. It's got the old, red lights that blink during scanning and other
relics of the 1970s. I've got a number for Regency in Indianapolis, hoping
to order an instruction or service manual (probably will cost twice as
much as the scanner) but I was chewed up and spit out in their voice mail
system three times, so I thought I'd post.
   Can anyone provide a couple of sentences on what this beast is --
"Regency Digital Flight Scan" BTW, I already own multiple scanners -- this

Lu says that F.H.P. has gone totally trunked with their
Astro digital trunked system.

Is this true?

If so, do they still use their PAC-RTs on 465.1625? That
would be useful still, if so.

Thanx for an early reply. I leave tomorrow.

The high end of the old UHF TV band was reallocated and became the
cell phone band.  Any old TV that can tune to channel 83 should be
able to receive cell phone calls too.  It might be difficult with a
later model digital tuner, but the older variable tune (you know the
ones with the knob you turn to select and fine tune the channel)
should work pretty well.

Actually George, I want to be *dominated* by you. Some might blame it on
the drugs and alcohol, but I know that it is the *real* me. I've felt so
empty the last couple of months not being able to flame my real love

(aka: family o' possums that live up my rear) haven't been able to

If you just recently recieved the Pro-51, then you will probably will
not be able to scan the true range of cellular frequencies. Look at
you date code on your scanner. If it is 7A4 (July 1994) or before,
then it will be able to get a test mode frequency that is within the
cellular bands.
        You are not completely out of luck, the Pro-51 will allow you
to receive images of the cellular freqencies. It is only a double
conversion scanner which allows you to do this, but also gives you a
lot of unwanted interference in the larger metro areas. It also allows
you to scan the 66-88Mhz range through use of the test modes.
        Send you browser to
http://www.designeq.com/PRO51testmode.html. Sometimes on the newer
models you have to do test mode 3 (display test mode) and then go into
the test mode 1 to get the frequencies for the 66-88Mhz ranges.
        The last time I was in Radio Shack the earliest date code was
a 7A6 (July 1996) and that was on the display model.

Large binary posts do not belong in unmoderated discussion groups.

As a service to, and with the cooperation of, other news administrators,
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 17 cancels for large binary files (average size 201,959
characters - total size 3,433,300 characters) posted to 10 different
unmoderated discussion groups in the comp, news, rec, and sci
hierarchies as follows:
   4 rec.sport.pro-wrestling
   3 comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg
   2 rec.models.scale
   2 news.newusers.questions
   1 sci.electronics.cad
   1 rec.skydiving
   1 rec.radio.scanner
   1 rec.pets.cats
   1 rec.outdoors.fishing.bass
   1 rec.music.industrial

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.bulletins.  The
full report can also be found in alt.nocem.misc and alt.retromod.
Look for AR794 in the subject, or, if your reader supports it,
use <URL:news:[e-mail]>.

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,
                rec.collecting.stamps, 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 [e-mail].  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

        I recently found a Pro-43 at the local pawn shop that needed
some work. I took is all apart and cleaned it up. Fixed some of its
problems and did the Cell, beep, SW mods on it. It now runs great.
        Both of the power jacks were bad. At this time I hooked up a
9V battery clip to the "charge" power input and have it just running
out the side where I can hook it up to my multiple adapter.
        I looked at the tandy support page. The part # is J1811 and
the RSU#(Radio Shack) is 10731495. I hate having to work through RS if
I dont have to. I looked at Digikey and they dont seem to have one
that completely fits the bill. Any other possibilities out there?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,

I'm sure this question has been addressed, but I would appreciate it if
the knowledgable
subscribers to this newsgroup could answer a question regarding 900 mhz
cordless phones.

I purchased an analog 900 mhz cordless phone for my parents. To be more
specific, it is
made by a company called VTECH, the model number is 910 ADL.

They are concerned about privacy while using this phone. Is it very easy
to intercept
conversation on this frequency range? I'm not educated on the
capabilities of scanners,
so if this seems to be the question of a scanner newbie, you are
correct.


Thanks, and Happy Holidays to all!

        I just bought a BCT-7 bearcat scanner and would like to know if
it can be converted or modified to receive the cell phone band.  Any
information would be greatly appreciated.

I agree, I am kind of new to the group, but I must say that Bill
Cheeks was one of the first to respond to me when I posted a question
asking for some info pertaining to scanning.
I for one don't have a problem with anything posted as long as it
pertains to the newsgroup, which everthing that Billl has posted has.
I thank Bill and the others that has help me with info and opinions on
scanning.
Thanks and Happy holidays!

Yep....and that's the point.  If we didn't I'd be worried.  You notice
little regional differences, but overall we should sound alot alike!

Yea some people do have that problem.  Actually, Bill isn't all bad,
he just does some provoking things sometimes & can be =*VERY*=
stubborn to deal with when he gets in those moods.  That is when
he tends to provoke people.

Lately, things have been OK from what I have seen.  (unless I missed
something)

Jim,
  I picked one up from KMART last week and it works great.  I wish it
was powered by 12V so I could wire it permanently...it uses one AA
battery.

RF performance is quite good. Sensitivity, selectivity, intermod
resistance on par with larger models. Audio is weak as the speaker is
tiny. Scan speed is slow. No easy way to lock out individual scan
channels. Auto step selection in search mode is probably wrong for
anywhere other than Europe - you have to set it manually.

It's the best pocket model out there right now.

Apparently you are also having e-mail bombs as Dick Kendrick described.
I
hope you are able to find the guilty party.  You mention "portal" as the
provider/domain this originated from.  I have never dealt with this
provider so I have no advice to offer, but I do wish you luck.

That's probably true.

 The FHP is trunked on the SE coast, however they still use their VHF system
on 154.665,154.680,154.695,154.920, and mobile extenders on 465.1625

Yep, that is pretty much why. Cellular technology is very similar to
trunked 800MHz systems...ie; if a mobile with a cell phone moves closer to
another tower (or "cell") it will hop frequencies via a computer controller
which switches the call simultaneously. If on the phone, one would hear a
short (about 1/15 second) interruption in service with the conversation
picked up on the other tower.

I saw a live version of Probe in action two weeks ago and was very
impressed. So impressed, I have already acquired a PRO-2006 and the
Optoelectronics board to convert it to computer control. The software
will be in the mail tomorrow.

Like you, I tried demos of various software; RM, ScanStar, and the rest.
I liked what I saw of Probe. If you contact the producer, Perry, at
[e-mail] he may be able to lead you to a local user for a
demo.

Good luck.

You tried to lie your way out of a similar post you claimed was fake before.
You're doing it again, Johnnie boy. The previous post showed you for
who and what you really are. A sniveling idiot with the intellect of a six
year old. Next to you, Beavis and Butthead are geniuses.

You know Johnnie boy, your recent series of postings have lost some
of their infantile insouciance. You must be having that eight year old who
lives next door write them for you. It could be that since you're one of the
few people in the world whose lips move when they read, you're finding
polysyllabic responses both mentally and physically exhausting. Otherwise,
it's just the few remaining brain cells you think you have are cascading into
oblivion again from expired medications. All those years you spent in the
mental health business didn't do much for you I guess. But then, it was as
a patient, or was it bed pan orderly.

Your problem, Johnnie boy stems from getting booted from Fido net
and Bill was involved in your ejection. You've let that fester into the
incredible examples of bombast so generously shared with all in
several newsgroups. We are so lucky to have you in our midst.

        Does anyone know how to adjust the bfo in a Radio Shack dx-394?
The initial setting from the factory seems to off by about 3khz, so that
the
default tuning steps are off.  I could order a service manual but if anyone

has had the same problem and fixed it could help me?

At the conclusion of any conversation (when the mike is released)  on
an Ericcson system, you will hear a series of "anti-scanner" tones
that try to make it uncomfortable to listen to.  All of the motorola
systems I monitor make no use of this, instead the repeater/frequency
just stops transmitting until it is activated again.  If you still
aren't sure, check out http://members.aol.com/wwhitby/trs.html.  This
might be able to give you the info you need.

Also, make sure you don't buy any Ericcson cell phones!

I just inherited an old Radio Shack PRO45 scanner.  It only does
30-50MHz and 148-174MHz.  Is there anything I can do to it to get higher
frequencies?  THis is such a limited range.

Thanks

There was a post asking about restrictions of TV antennas, and satellite
dishes earlier, and I did not have the link that reported the FCC's
actions in declaring void zoning and covenant restrictions.  I found it
and here it is!

Do they make, or can one make, a directional
antennae for the Bearcat 200 scanner that
would fit on the scanner itself ?

I live near an area where they have collared
bobcats with little radio transmitters and
would like to find out where they go (at a
distance).

What I still don't understand with all of this is why Motorola would let
Uniden do this?  It sounds like they are directly decoding the control
channel.  Did Motorola license Uniden to do this?  I'm sure that it is all
Motorola proprietary protocol and that they have several patents covering
it.  Anyone know the answer to this?

How is Uniden getting away with this?  Aren't they worried that Motorola's
legions of lawyers will descend upon them like flies on stink?  If it
works as advertised I will certainly line up for one with money in hand
since in the Pacific NW most large public safety agencies are Motorola
Type II SmartZone trunked ie: Portland OR, Washington Cty OR, Clark Cty
WA, and the whole Seattle metro area.  Type I trunking will be nonexistent
in this area since Nextel(The Great Satan) has bought nearly all of the
business trunked systems and are converting them to digital ESMR at a
rapid rate.

You guys have to realize that the switch to Trunked systems was not to
prevent people from monitoring, so they don't give a damm.  Also if
they did give a damm, then they still can't prevent you from
monitoring and keeping the information to yourself.  And if a court
case were brought, how could they say monitoring part of a
conversation with old technology is not illegal, and monitoring all of
a conversation with new technology is illegal. So Uniden probably
isn't worred either.

It seems funny that you, of all people, should respond to this.... You
also include a "denial" in this posting. Are you having a guilty

upper part of the battery compartment.  There are two small
plastic detents at the floor of the battery compartment.  They are
directly downwards from the "-" and "+" legends, which are molded
on an extension of the removable back.  These detents will need to
be unhitched to allow the back to separate from the front.
Pull back off gently.

Remove RF board

The RF board is attached to the top panel, which contains the
volume and squelch controls and the antenna connector.  At this
point, the board is essentially free and will separate from the
rest of the set when the header connector at the lower right is
pulled apart.  This header provides electrical connections between
the two boards.  Lift the RF board straight out, and set the rest of the
radio aside.  Flip RF board over, keeping BNC pointing away from
yourself.

Add resistor

Refer to the ASCII diagram below.  Bend one of the resistor leads close
to the body of the resistor so that the resistor forms a hairpin shape.
Trim leads and solder the new resistor in parallel with the chip
resistor marked "105."  The latter is positioned between the two
surface-mount IC's towards the bottom of the RF board.  Press the new
resistor parallel to the circuit board, making sure there are no
shorts.

You see it just the same as 99% of the people on the echo.   Mainly
one person takes great delight in doing the sniping.

First it was FIDO for this person, now he takes great delight in
spewing here.

Sad, but it really gets nasty.

As a new year resolution, I am doing what I can to respond to him only
in the nicest manner, hoping that he will soon tire.

Have a great Christmas!

Grab the Winter 1996 "Poptronix" magazine at your local newsstand. It
shows good plans for a Discone. It is designed to operate over a
frequncy range of 700 to 2000 MHz.

There is a mod for the Pro-26, but you will have to order some parts
for it. You can either order just the UK CPU which takes a
considerable amount of skill, or you can get the logic board with the
CPU already attached. The latter doesnt even require soldering skills,
mainly screwdriver skills. Look at http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/
for more information under the the Pro-26 subpage. This mod would make
the Pro-26 an awesome handheld. I wish that I had a few extra $$ to
spend.

Hi,

I just got a hand-held scanner for Christmas.  It's mainly for NASCAR races,
but I'd like to listen in on what's going on in my area.  Does anyone have
frequencies for lower Michigan?  I'm from the Monroe area.

Thanks!

Maria

Yes, the 1994 act prohibits "inexpensive" frequency converters which
would enable cellular reception on otherwise blocked scanners.  For
sure, mass marketers like Rat Shack and Wal-Mart don't sell them.
Perhaps some small companies get away with flouting the law because they
aren't big enough fish to fry.  Or they are selling units made before
1994, which is okay.

The 20/20 is a VFH low/high/UHF and air band scanner from about 1983.

The were pretty sturdy, but the internal PS tended to get hot.

I think there were 40 chs.  I still have a 220, the 20 ch version, that I
use at the office.

Worth keeping, even if just to park on the favorite freq.

Be sure to notice that there is a "state" in the state list called "US".

Use "US" to find freqs in unlisted "states" like Gulf of Mexico and
Offshore.

This can work.  There are other ways, however.  First, if you
already have a 75 ohm coax (like RG59) going in to your house,
feel free to use that.  The loss from the mismatch between
that and the 50 ohm input to your scanner isn't going to
amount to much.

If you already have the 300 ohm twinlead in your house, get a
matching transformer and hook the sucker up to your radio.  By
the way, 300 ohm twinlead can be less lossy than most cheap 75
ohm coax.

Now, about that amplifier:  If you live in a high hilltop with
lots of TV and radio stations all around, you'll find that a
mast-mounted amplifier may hurt more than it helps.  If you
decide to put one up there, don't be surprised if you pick up
lots more stray signals and IMD than you want.

Concerning vertical polarization:  Yes, most VHF activity uses
vertical polarization.   Messing with your TV antenna so that it
is oriented vertically can be a pain, however.  If you do,
make sure that your mast is not too close to the antenna (use
a stout 90 degree bracket to space it from the mast).  You may
lose more signal than you will get from having the correct
polarization if you get sloppy here.

Good Luck!

European version with no gaps in the band. My question is when the radio
is under computer controll I can not hear the cellular band. When the
radio is not under computer controll I can hear the cellular freqs. just
fine. Any one with info on why this is occuring? Thanks for any

Also, the system causes all the lights in your home to go off, locks
all the doors, turns your telephone off, disables your car by pulling
the  spark plug and coil wires, and calls the police to come and get
you.

Assuming the problem here is too many strong signals, it
would do exactly what you describe.

Keep in mind how most frequency counters work: They use a
limiting amplifier (lots of gain) and then they count zero
crossings.  If you have a stronger signal on a different
band hitting the input, that's what you'll count.  So
filtering those other bands out will work, but it doesn't
increase sensitivity.

In fact, because all filters have a certain amount of loss
(even for those frequencies they are supposed to pass), the
frequency counter sensitivity will DECREASE with each filter
you place in front of it.  You may not notice this problem
much at first, because you already have a lot of gain in
front of the counter circuitry.

However, if that signal is the only one in the area,
you may notice the lessened sensitivity.  Go get a
low noise wideband amplifier and place it between your
filter and the counter to make up for this problem.

Good Luck!

Bot have I found a GEM of a piece of software.... a free shareware
program that " GET THIS "


Decodes all CTCSS tones..Decodes all DTMF tones..shows spectrum of
incoming signal..all thru the sound card in REAL TIME...a Long search
of EXITE.COM hailed this freeware gem...

When I was gonna buy such a decoder..it was external and $399.00
Us....


Now with this freeware...man my hobby just expanded!


The DTMF decoder Shima sells ( or cripples ) is good..but there is
FREE stuff out there PPL!...

Decoding DTMF's is easy n fun...but to also decode the CTCSS ( PL ) of
any signal in real time is truly a Break thru in DSP programing!

ATTENTION _ ATTENTION _ ATTENTION _ REALITY CHECK !!!


OK OK ... what's the deal?  Does anyone have an actual picture,  model
number or verifed source advising that this unit will be out and
actually works?  If so what is it and when.

As for the license on the control channel data,  since motorola is
working with several other companies on the development of APCO 25
compliant radios,  there is a chance that this could happen.

Secondly if you know what your listening to (control channel work
makeup) then there is no reason why you couldn't make a scanner listen
to and track the CC.  That information is in any motorola trunked system
training manual.  Once the cc word is broken down in print there is no
reason why someone can't figure out what to do with it.

Now to the nitty gritty...  Once you're listening to the cc then how are
you going to process the information on a display.  Let's look at a
local system with 7000+ users and 28 channels.  Let's say that the PPT's
are coming in from all directions at peak hours,  say noon.  How are you
going to tell your little scanner what talkgroup to listen to without
even knowing the structure of the system.  Is the display going to lock
on a conversation and follow it?  How is the unit going to know what
channel (FCC) to jump to for the conversation.  In motorols system watch
you have to tell the thing what channels are on that particular system.

Overall I find this highly UNLIKELY that it's on the market,  close to
market or more than a wishful hackers pipedream.

> >Is there a way to tell from listening what type system it is?

The control channels are slightly different and on most ericsson systems
the control channel doesn't rotate every 24 hours.  They prefer to COOK
the repeater unit it DIES a horrible death!

> At the conclusion of any conversation (when the mike is released)  on
> an Ericcson system, you will hear a series of "anti-scanner" tones

They are very proud of that you know...  They should also tell the
customers that this forces the radios to have to jump back to the
control channel on EVERY conversation making it harder to get back in if
the system is heavily loaded.  Not to mention that this also causes the
system to have channels that are "not-avail" until the sidetones drop.
So in a heavily loaded system there is a chance of longer delays to get
back in on a group that you were just taking to.

> Also, make sure you don't buy any Ericcson cell phones!

I agree!!!

For BC9000XLT tips and modification information,
see my Scanner Equipment column in June 1996 Monitoring Times.

Add one switch to enhance the image to full sensitivity.
Although I published a partial schematic,
you should really have a BC9000XLT service manual to find
the physical component locations.

Reprints of articles from Monitoring Times are available
for $2.00 each plus a self-addressed stamped envelope from:

I was wondering if a scanner would have superior reception capability
for distant FM stations. Here is my dilemma: I know the signals I want
are there because I can get them on a factory installed Honda radio
but I can't get them on a Sony FM walkman with the DX switch in the 'DX'
position (versus 'local'). If not a scanner, then can someone recommend
a portable receiver with great DX capability (read: I want to be able
to flick the DX switch and pull in those signals as if they were local),
including where I can get it and how much I'm looking at paying.

Any help you can provide would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

Shawn

Sure, but if you had the service manual, you could find out for yourself in
a flash.  Manuals are available from Tandy National Parts [phone]

The NFM Discriminator baseband audio output in the PRO-2006 is at IC-2,
Pin 9 or TP-2, take your choice.

BTW....service manuals are highly recommended as time, labor, cost, and butt
savers.....get one if you are about to rip into your scanner.

        I would like to start scanning!  I have read several scanning zines,
and have determined that it would be cool to follow this hobbie.
However, I need a scanner.  I would like it to have a pretty wide
range of freq. and able to 'hear' CTCSS Tones.  I would like to spend
under $500.. Any help or ideas would be great!

        -thanks

Do you work for Gene Hughes?  Why bother to start a separate thread
when you're continuing the same tired debate?

Either guide is preferable to the other depending on the hobbyist's
needs and budget.  Police Call is very, very basic and Scanner Master
is more advanced and detailed, and thus more expensive.  There is no
"better" or "worse" involved here.  There are other books that I've
seen mentioned by nobody, such as the "Official Scanner Guide" series.

That information already appeared at the beginning of this thread. In
fact, that's what started it.

Try a DejaNews search for the threads "Uniden Trunked Scanner" and

told santa that she wanted a special pair of panties that would block out
her brothers penis but would let her boyfriends pass through......
Mo Bigsly santa looked at the girl and said...

No actually YOU are the one the risks losing access, not me.  IF you

Some foolish sysops actually think that because they are sysops

I, too, have noticed cell reception in the 137~141 MHz range here in
San Francisco.  I can't imagine that ALL of it is intermod.  I mean,
with all the frequencies I'm receiving in that range, who needs to do
a mod to the radio?  I can't anyway with my PRO-60. . .

Shane, CTCSS tones are usually numbered/identified with a LL (letter
letter) or LN (letter number) type scheme.

Ie:     100.0Hz = 1Z
        123.0Hz = 3Z
        241.8Hz = M6

There are about 42 odd standardized CTCSS tone frequencies.  Many CTCSS
encoder/decoder circuits can not deal with more than 32 different tones
- simply because they don't have enough divider/address lines/aka DIP
switches.  If your radio is using the above numbers for CTCSS tone
frequencies they could be totally different on another radio.  To
confuse the matter some more, there are several non-standard CTCSS tone
frequencies in use too.  I find it best to use the full frequency in Hz
just to avoid any possible confusion.  Hopefully your encoder/decoder
with be compatible.

Scanners have audio optimized for voice communications. Some are very
sensitive ane some are very selective (and some are both) but they make
poor choices for long-term listening to broadcast audio programs,
especially music.

Quality control seems to vary a LOT, but my Grundig YB-400 portable has a
phenomenal FM section. Best thing next to the Sony CRF-160 boat anchor :-)

Someone has gotten good at faking headers... I never posted this.
Looking at the expanded headers, I see this:

NNTP-Posting-Host: ksts.seed.net.tw

Which does not appear on messages posted through Ipass.net.

when I track down who, this will be brought to their ISP's attention.

Thanks,
Dave

The SPECTRUM CD is pretty darned good! However, the Ham_db CD was
quite lame. The supposed listing of open repeaters was glaringly
incomplete. Looks like what might have happened was that they got
their info from ArtSci instead of really getting info from a repeater
directory. Bottom line: if you are looking for the Amateur repeaters
don't bother with Ham_db from PerCon.

yeah, and it went on for quite a spell too, didn't it. I joined the
internet about 6 monthst ago and this was an old thread by that time.
Also, it was an opinion on your part and should never have been blown
out of porportion. However, in your infinite stubborness, you saw fit to
contest anyone who disagreed with you on this point.

Were you there? Honesty, since whne has anyone else involved in this
little flame fest ever displayed any honesty? A;sp, you might want to

Yes its very easy if its a analog! As a matter of fact its easier. I
cant hear 900mhz cordless (analog) phones up to two miles from my house.
They are great!
If you are really concerned about security then get the same phone with
the SPREAD SPECTRUM capability. This one is damn near impossible to
kisten to.

I have now made 4 purchases of radio equipment over the net from
perfect strangers, all without incident, and all went smoothly! I have
never dealt with anyone with my credit card, although that would have
been my first preference, for a couple of reasons: First, if I pay for
someone to ship me something COD, I amy wind up paying cash for a box
with a brick in it, on the other hand if I pay by credit card, and I
don't get what I ordered, I just dispute it with my credit card
company, and it will then either get resolved, or I refuse to pay.

Also, If you give your credit card number to someone and the
fraudulantly abuse it,  they can be prosecuted.

However, I have learned the best way to buy anything from a private
individual is through the U.S. Postal Service, and paying with a
U.S.P.S. postal money order, then if I don't get what I paid for, or
if there is any type of problem, then you can file charges of Mail
Fraud, a federal offense which Postal Inspectors do not take lightly.

Just insure that you get a good address for the seller, e.g. no P.O.
Boxes. I also try to casually find out other information from the
seller, e.g., employer, club memberships, etc. just in case I would
need to trace them.

All in all I have had much success and have encountered significant
savings on excellent products buying from people on the net. Just
exercize good common sence and let the USPS laws protect you in making
your purchases.

It is NOT available in the USA at the present time.  I have purchased a
European version (WS-1000) and I am currently evaluating the unit.
Through my investivations, I sent an e-mail to STANDARD ELECTRONICS
USA.  The unit will be marketed as the STANDARD AX-400 in late Spring
1997 in the USA.  As you might guess, it will be cell blocked.
In response to the "Step" question-each scan range can be stepped with
all the standard step sizes.  There is not an "auto step/mode" as there
is with the AOR or Bearcat/Uniden/Radio Shack units.

The unit is not user-friendly as a first scanner.  As they told me at
Javiation in the UK, they do not market it as someones FIRST scanner.
With its size and features, though, it has a special "niche" in the
scanning hobby.
Javiation's link is:

http://www.demon.co.uk/javiation/index.html


I have the Standard C508A 2M/440 HT which is along the same lines as the
WS-1000.  It is small, about the size of a pager, transmits 280 MW on
the ham bands, and scans Aircraft and above.  It is impressive!

Anyone using this (sure wish it was PCMCIA!)
Why so expensive?? After all, it's just a PC board. Sure sould be a
lot cheaper than a desktop scanner, which requires a case, power
supply, speaker etc.
How about a review (and a cheap source?)

You're correct.  The original post said:  "Can someone please post a copy
of the phonetic alphebet."  For better or worse, there isn't a *the*
phonetic alphabet, and about a million others posted IPA with some minor
variation.

Deputy Giammarino posted a variation of a fairly common (left coast,
anyway) USA law enforcement phonetic alphabet.  I, OTOH, posted a
dysfunctional phonetic alphabet that nobody in their right mind would use
for serious communication.  In central Oregon, police agencies mostly use a
variation of the "US Cop Phonetic Alphabet" that includes U-Union and
Y-Yellow.

I've never heard where the "US Cop" alphabet came from or why the
international/military/maritime/aviation version is not suited to law
enforcement work.  I'd be interested in hearing, if anybody knows.
Diversity is fun if you can keep track of it.

It is truly *the best* antenna to mount on a high speed aircraft and not fall
apart. It can also be used for radio communications, but almost any antenna is

good for up to 400 miles with the power output of military aircraft radios,
provided it is line of sight.

Oh well that does not surprise me.  MANY people were upset at Bill
for a long time.  So you would be correct to say that ISSUE was
old when you came on 6 months ago.  You ARE NOT CORRECT to say
the thread I started "Bill Cheeks is an asshole" was old when you
started 6 months ago because it only started in July (5 months ago)
& only lasted 3 months as indicated by Dejanews.

Let's let the facts speak for themselves again Eric.  Looking at the 80
responses from Dejanews on that thread, my entries make up 16 of them or
%20.  That means that 64 (or %80) of the posts were from other people
posting replies.  (if you don't believe me look for yourself)  I could
hardly have been contesting everyone with only 16 out of the total 80
entries on that thread.

Then go to Dejanews & find data to prove me wrong.  (In other words,
put up or shut up)

I'll bet that is a question people often ask you.

Uh oh, watch out, Johnnie boy thinks he is entering periods of lucidity.
Take heart your lurid pomposity, it's just a side effect from your drugs
and too many psychotic episodes. In a few years, the aftermath  _might_
pass, but don't count on it. You do seem pretty set in your niche.

Never left it. All your medications are beginning to catch up with you Johnnie
boy and distorting your mental functions. Oh wait, that's just your normal
genetic predisposition, to be inane!

>Hang in there Dick, you may be getting better.

I'm always fine :-). Your limited cognizance of anything remotely real is
shorting your few remaining neurons and causing misfires. But, then you
know quite a lot about shorting things out, don't you :-).

Watch out Bud, Johnnie boy has told us how he can do terrible things
with software and hardware and damage our systems. He says he is
a master of harrasement and a self proclaimed news group cleaner.
He'll probably send you large files via email, deny it, send many forged
postings vilifing us, and denying yet again. We should all fear this
pompous gas bag.
<sarcasm off>

I've got an extra pin I'll share with you to burst his bubble.

If anyone wants to write a brief FAQ on how to distinguish between the
different Motorola Systems, EF Johnson, and GE/Ericcson, I would be more
than happy to post it on the TRS User's Page.

I would do it, but I won't have much free time in the next coming month.

Seem? My address has always been valid and _never_ anonymous, unlike other
cretins slithering about. When you report me, spell my name right. I wouldn't

Chaos can intersect ones life path through no fault of your own. The secret
to internal peace is to learn how to deflect rather that collide with that
chaos. The duality of Tao is the source of that peace. The difficulty is
seeing and understanding that duality. That is the essence of yin and yang
in the universe, and within. The Tao is all.

I also have one of the SPP models, works great, neat CPU functions,
call ID on the handset is great...

The only negative I have (which isn't much)
is that a digital phone is a bit harsh or "tinny"
compared to analog conterparts.
(But scanners can't recieve them either, without an A/D box)

I purchased mine new for about $350 so I would say $200 is a fair deal.

If the first IF frequency of a scanner were 10 MHz, then it would be
normal for me to hear 150 MHz on 170 MHz as a result of that IF.  What I'm
having trouble understanding is why I'm hearing 154.725 MHz (a local PD)
on 507.575 MHz.  This is a huge step, too large to be an image.  The first
IF frequency in the scanner I'm using for this is 10.85 MHz, the second
being 450 kHz.  I'd love to hear from anyone who could explain and clear
this up.

Doesn't surprise me that a lot of people were upset at you (and your

Give it a rest, john. Your words carry little weight anymore.

There you go, using the "facts" word again without a proper

Actually, you are the first one (and so far, the only one).

Again, John, give it a rest. Your stubbornness will get you into more
hot water before this is over.

Following on from my recent discovery of the source of my digital satellite
reception problem (interference from local cable tv "gateway box").

Does anybody have any experience with this sort of thing? Could harmonics caus
e
interference at either 1150Mhz or 4000Mhz? A scan by a good spectrum analyser
did not pick up anything unusual at either frequency though.

I believe the purpose of these large "gateway boxes" (spaced approx 1 for ever
y
1500 houses) is to feed the fibre optic signal into the main coaxial cable,
which then feeds into each individual house.

I don't know about these things but can harmonics at these frequencies be
generated by this "conversion" process (FO -> Coax) or would the power supply
of
the unit be more likely the cause?

Of course, I'm particularly interested to hear of possible remedies to stop
whatever is coming out of these boxes from reaching my dish (about 100 metres
away). If the cable tv company let me I'd go up there myself and line the insi
de
of the box with aluminium foil or lead sheeting. Don't think that is likely.

Any suggestions?

Based on the number of mixing stages and also on the number of times
the LO is multiplied, the number image products increases
tremendously.  This is especially true when you are located very near
the source of the transmission's.  Without good front end preselection
you can have a serious image problem.

Interference with a dish pointed toward the sky isn't very likely.
This situation seems even less likely when you failed to pick up
any of those "harmonics" with a spectrum analyzer (although you
didn't say exactly how you ran this test).

The more probable scenario is that you're picking up interference
on the coaxial cable segment.  I wouldn't be surprised if someone
has something attached to the cable which is trashing things for
everyone else.

By the way, most folks who know what they're doing don't go out
their way by using lead to shield communications gear.  I know it
is called microwave RADIATION, however you needn't be scared of
it. Anything below ultraviolet (including visible light, infrared,
millimeter wave and microwave) is all non-ionizing.  Conventional
materials such as copper or aluminium will do just fine as
sheilds.

I am interested in adding scanning to my home PC setup, and would like
any recommendations on scanners, computer interfaces, and software.

I've seen mentioned recently the  AOR8000,  ICOM R7000, and unnamed
(future?) Uniden products.  Im also curious about the tradeoffs of
using frequency counters to detect, then characterizing with scanners
- are counters worth expense in this regards? (I've seen an Opto
completely miss a bug it was sitting almost on top of.)

I want this to be a mobile setup, I am interested in freqs above 1Ghz,
and require full programming info on whatever the computer interface
is.

I also would like the ability to feed output of detected signals into
other lab equipment I have on hand, such as DSP card for further
analysis.  One of my end goals is a mobile PC based general spectrum
analyzer that I can zoom and monitor on spikes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there are any mods for this model?  If so, what are they?

                                thanks
                                john

Does anybody have any input on what might be the best mobile antenna for
scanning the 800mhz band? Need one just for that band.  Appreciate
feedback.

I just got a Uniden Sportcat SC-150 for Christmas.  It covers 12
bands that include 29.0-54.0, 108-174, 406-512 and 806-956 MHz.
I think it cost around $170.
I want to monitor local police/fire in northern N.J.  Is this a
good scanner for that?  Are there better scanners available in,
or near, this price range?  This looks like a good scanner, but
maybe sensitivity or freq. range compromises were made since it
was designed for "sports fans"?
I'm not locked into handheld over base unit, but battery power
for use in power outages is a bonus.   ...........Thanks, Rich

Well I have stated my opinion, and I have no affiliation with Scanner
Master. Yes, I am a long time hobbyist and I am a columnist for several
scanner publications. I have met Warren Silverman at a NatScan & NESN
meeting and I also correspond with Rich Barnett on occasion. But, by the
same token.... I correspond with Gene Hughes of Police Call on a weekly
basis through AOL. I have often referred to him as my scanner god! And I
submit corrections to both publications. They are 2 totally different kind
of books that compliment each other. But, for a first times user I would
still go with ScannerMaster.

I'll pay someone for their trouble if they can find an owner's manual
and/or a service manual for a 1978 Regency "Digital Flight Scan" scanner.
Uniden, which bought Regency in 1988, doesn't have it and neither does
Relm. Please reply email. Thanks.

I have NO intentions on selling the list but, forming a National
Scanner Club.

Also, my intentions are to keep people informed on other Enthusiasts
(like you) in their area so they might trade Frequency Information for
their CITY and STATE

Try being positive for once, It helps.

The Web page doesnt belong to Probe.  I setup the page because
I like the program.  To my knowledge there is no demo or has
has never been a demo of Probe.  Its DOS based and very
user-friendly.  I have tried the others and they were to
awkard to use, took a gamble on Probe and wasnt disapointed.

Maybe a local user has the software or make a posting on
the newsgroups asking for a local Probe user.

You just never give up do you.  Now you're trying to say that all

If you look at a sampling of those messages, you will see that only

        I live in portland , oregon and for some reason the police
transmit the weather service over the trunked police system. It is
really irritating as the weather service moves around from freq to
freq making it difficult and annoying to block out. Does anyone know
of a solution to this?

Hello, seems like your the guy to talk to about Uniden scanners, I just
got the BCT12 Highway information sytem, (portable scanner - looks like
radar detector) and cna not get it to pick up any signals while the car is
running. With the car off it works fine, I have tried it in 2 different
cars, tried the cigarrette adapter and hardwired, tried a noise supressor
from Radio Shack in-line, and tried two different antanae ( both supplied
by Uniden, window mount and attached rubber), all this with no luck, any
suggestions ? Thanks

Radio Scrap sells a few different models of mobile cellphone antennas, I
happen to have one which clips on your window, with about a 4' coax and
connector that screws into the bag phone.   You can use such an antenna,
and simply get the connector convertor from radio shack that converts
the threaded connector on the cellphone antenna (I forget the name of
the actual connector style) to a regular BNC jack for your scanner.  I
have done this with a cellphone antenna connected to my scanner and it
works great.

Hi, there!
I've just bought the AIRTRAK software, so if you are a aircraft-listener
on shortwave, maybe you have too!
I just wondered if someone out there has owned it for a while, and added
somthing to the database, maybe we could swap some data.

Happy new year from
Tore

People who own Saturns have the same problem.  The "fix" is to
purchase a Sony model CP8 or CP9 cassette adapter.  It fools the radio
into thinking there is a real cassette in there.

There may be others that work, but I haven't read about them.

John,
I have come to the conclusion that arguing with you is a lot like
shoveling manuer. It leaves me with a bad smell and an even worse
disposition. So, I am going to ignore you. You are not worth an ulcer.
Besides, I have better things to do with my time. I have a life, which
is more than I can say for you.

As my parting shot: Why don't you use the "REAL" facts, instead of what
you want others to see (and tell your followers te same thing, john).

This discussion is now closed.

let them have at it.  Then the rest of us can go on with our interests. I
for one am getting tired of all the band width taken up by these

Hi all,I have a question about this upcoming scanner.
I'm not sure if it has already been answered so here it goes.
In my local there is used a Motorolla trunked system,on this
system several different groups use the same 20 frequencies.
Police,Fire,Transit Buses,City Work Crews,etc.
Will this new scanner be able to "exclusivly" listen to only
one group if that is what is wanted?

  Thanxx

If it was manufactured prior to 3/94, you're in luck (check the sticker
code)  If it's a newer model, the jumper wire that you cut has been
eliminated and you're out of luck.

Then why do you bother to comment?  Any of us can choose the subject
matter.  You chose to partisipate, thus indicating you care to some degree.
Whether in the ring or in the audience, all are in the same house.

If i may make a suggestion.... get a sense of humor.  With a little
imagination the entire *fiasco* headed up by Whacky-Macky and his merry
band is about as much fun to watch as Saturday morning Loonytoons.

The radio is fantastic.  It does cost a pretty penny, but if you dont
know how to use the scanner with all that it offers, or not as interested
in scanning as you thought you would be, you can get some good cash for

It seems like a handheld version of the BC860XLT.  AFAIK, it's a decent
scanner.  I've only had mine two days, so I've not really had the chance
to use it much.  It would work fine for monitering local services.

Greg probaly will jump in and answer this for me,I meant to ask
earlier and forgot.

Greg if one knows the Motorla digital codes for each subfleet can this
be put into memory directly?

from all the post I am guessing NO that you first must scan for it
then once you hear it then put it into memory?

If this part is correct what is the max. number of subfleets can be
scanned at a time.

Also can one scan more than one system.IOW say your local PD is on a
five channel system and the State Police are on another separate 5
channel system.

Could you scan BOTH system,I would guess that it would have to monitor
two data channels at same time and probaly can't do that.

Thanks

THE FINAL WORD:

FHP and other state law enforcement agencies have been using the state
trunked network in Dade and Monroe Counties, in SE Florida. The rest of
the state is still on the VHF systems. However, the move for the rest of
the state to the statewide trunked system "is" imminent. Major areas like
Tampa, Orlando, etc. will probably move first. They will be followed by
the rest of the state. Maybe 2-3 years before completion. Once they go
and everything is working fine they will no longer use their old systems.
Not even the 465 freqs.

My mother lives in Sacramento, Ca. While visiting her at Christmas she
complained that she was not receiving very much traffic from the
Sacramento County  S.O. and F.D. on her Bearcat scanner. I checked it out
and found that the scanner seemed to working fine. I heard only the F.D.
dispatch pages. Before, I could hear the dispatch pages as well as the
units responding to the calls. I would also hear traffic from the S.O.

It seems that something might have changed, perhaps they jumped up to 800
mhz?

Does anyone out there know where they went?

Thanks JE

Lakeshore Communications in Etobicoke, Ontario (a Toronto suburb) is the

honest. If you can make it to Buffalo, they are about 90 minutes from the

Sounds to me like you might have been hearing a HAM repeator that was
patched into a local phoneline.  In my area there are several
repeators that provide local phone calls to HAM operators that have
touchtone keypads. All they do is punch the touchtones and any
phone is accesable that is in the calling area of the repeator, this
is possible because the local phone provider does not charge for
local calls. The repeator will not place long distance calls.
He was probably joking or using termenology his wife would
understand to explain to her how he was calling her.

I recently obtained an old Bearcat 250 base scanner.  It works
alright, but it has some problems.  Is it worth sending the radio in and
getting it fixed up or should I just save my money and get something
newer.
        If I do send it in, should I send it to Uniden or can anyone
recommend an independant repair facility.  Thank You.

Does anyone have RS232 info on the 8000? I need to know the pinouts for
the flat cable connector. This would be for a hook up with an Opto
Scout. Which pin would be the transmit for the 8000 back to the Scout?

How well does this combo work, are there any problems or is the stepup
pretty much flawless? Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
LGS

From the FAQ "Buying a Used Scanner:"

        [ ... ]

PRO-2046: 1996 vintage 100 channel  mobile  made  by  Uniden
with  fairly  good  performance.  Descendent of the BC760XLT
but no CTCSS option available.  Ten banks of  ten  channels.
Scans  memory  at  about  34  channels/sec.  Service search,
direct search, and band search.   Preset  search  limits  by
band  and  user  cannot  program  the  search limits.  Image
rejection is minimal, as one would  expect  from  a  scanner
with  IFs  of  10.85  and  0.450  MHz.   10  Monitor  memory
channels.  Can lock out up to 20  channels  from  a  search.
See  "The  Radio  Shack  PRO-2046," by Bob Parnass, AJ9S, in
Monitoring Times, October 1996.

I've bought 3 scanners from Pawnshops and have always gotten good prices
and good products. They take them only if they work properly, because they
don't want to lose their collateral if the units don't work. Also, most
people that pawn their equipment don't intend to lose their items, but just
don't have the money to get it back. I'm on very friendly terms with three
pawnshops in my area, and they will let me know if they have something I
might be interested in. One even has ham gear once in a while. If it were
me, I would grab that scanner before someone else does!

The county has shifted to the 800 mhz trunked system. The city is still
on the same frequencies they have been on for a while.  Latest I have
heard is that they are not going to the 800 until the county gets the
bugs all worked out.

   The FCC, on August 5, !996 adopted a rule which partially pre-emts the
enforcement of community association restrictions with respect to satellite
dish antennas, broadcast television antennas, and other communication
reception devices.

The above statement is the leading sentence of a memo sent to the Board of
Directors of my community's Home Owners Association.
I will try to convey the main points.

"Under the new rule, any association Covenant, rule, or similar restriction
which "impairs" the installation, maitenence or use of certain antenas is
UNENFORCEABLE."

Antennas protected include dishes up to one meter and any size antenna
designed to recieve television broadcast services.

The FCC rule allows communities to regulate antennas so long as the
restriction does not "impair" the installation, maitenence or use of the
antenna.

HOA's can regulate the placement of antennas so long as the reception would
not be compromised

Just curious saw Javiation in England who says they sell unblocked
scanners and ship to USA. Is there a problem with this with customs if
it is shipped UPS or FedEx.

You're wrong on the second point.  It is not legal to offer for sale
in the U.S., scanners made after whatever-the-date-is that can receive
or be modified to receive cellular.  But it is perfectly legal to
buy one elsewhere and bring it in yourself.  Javiation in the UK will
happily sell them and ship them through customs.  No problemo.

>Shut up

Geesh, John you'll flame anybody for even posting. But then you still
don't get it. Maybe this will help.

What has transpired over the last eight months or so has been an object
lesson aimed specifically at you John, in the duality of reality that is
usenet. The duality I'm speaking of is very similar to the yin/yang of
Taoism, hence my parallel usage in this forum. Several well meaning
people have tried to explain all this to you in their own words. But
yet, you have still failed to make the requisite leap of realization
and understand what has transpired. Perhaps you need a more lucid
and basic explaination.

Usenet is simultaneously reality and non-reality. It is real because
real people are exchanging real communication every minute of every
hour of every day. It is non-real because ultimately this is all just
a bunch of electrons racing through copper and fiber and silicon, only
to end up splashing upon the insides of our monitors. The randomized
patterns of those splashes are just so many patterns of colored dots.
Only the person viewing those splashes can assign any meaning to the
myriad of displayed patterns.

You, and you alone, have attributed meaning to those dots and subsequently
reacted to those dots. You have been told that those dots are just another
non-reality and not to get worked up about what you read. Others have
told you that I'm endlessly baiting you and pushing your buttons. Both
are true. Everything that has passed, is just a transient pleasure or an
annoyance depending on your point of view or phase of the moon. The tag
line I've been using, "Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in
reality," follows the same precept and is consistent with the duality
of usenet and Taoism.

I must say though, John, you've reacted quite admirably. Sometimes watching
your excursions through the digital non-reality have been quite amusing.
Posting miles of obscenities, sending people email bombs disguised as large
movie files, even posting dreary tantrums and then claiming said messages
were forgeries. One of my colleagues described the image of a chihuahua
foaming at the mouth contaminating the keyboard when shown your rantings.
Yes, John I've been pushing your buttons knowing you'd behave in exactly
the manner you've done. You have let yourself get worked up over nothing.
But, your ego and immaturity wouldn't let you blow it off.

Face it John, you've been Fooled by a Unique Combination of Keenly Elucidated
Dissertations in the usage of non-reality. And, you never even got kissed
first.

I think the point of the post concerning Uniden being worried about a
Motorola lawsuit involves not so much a problem with LISTENING to the
conversation in its (trunked) entirety, but infringement of Motorola
copyrights with regard to how the radios follow the trunk handoffs...

I don't have an opinion either way, but I'd like more info on this
product.

Just wondering if anyone knows what freq's the military police
are now using... It seems that 149.65 and 173.25 are now dead.
I realize that there are few MP's left in town but I've noticed
that they have spiffy new cars and therefore probabaly have
spiffy new radio's. Have they gone trunked??? or do the just
use cell phones now or something???

You didn't mention which radio you were using, dude!

If I had to guess.......I could speculate that your radio uses some kind
of prescaler or down-convertor for the UHF band.  Ie, to listen to UHF
frequencies your receiver is tuned to a VHF frequency but an additional
circuit is brought into the chain.  This additional circuit would form
your "first IF" of sorts and mix with the UHF signal to provide a
difference frequency in the VHF band.  It could be that the frequency
that the VHF portion of the RX is operating at is 154.725.

Also, if you live in the area of any strong-signals that could mix with
the 154MHz frequency this could cause an image to appear.  For example,
I've heard of a 2m amateur radio repeater located close to an AM
broadcast transmitter on 590KHz.  Every time the repeater keyed up it
would mix with the 590KHz and put a strong signal 10KHz off from the RX
of the repeater - when the AM signal was modulated fully it was only
5KHz off from the repeater input thus causing the machine to cycle
erratically.  I can't see anything this obvious in your situation
though.  Are you sure you have those frequencies correct?

Yup! A very handy frequency!!! I tuned it in whenever there was a
power failure (when I lived "up there").

153.56, simplex, "509 control"

The base is at the PG&E yard in San Carlos (101 & Holly). The
base always seemed to sound a little "scratchy", even though the
signal is very strong. That office serves the San Mateo county
area (South City to Palo Alto).

BTW: Santa Clara is on 153.59, "Alpine Control".

It's probably not worth sending in if there is anything major wrong
with it.  Uniden no longer has all replacement parts for this unit, as
I found out when I sent a BC250 in about 2 years ago.  No parts=not
repairable.
  Better to spend your money on a more recent vintage scanner.

Good Luck

Rich,
   For the price, this radio is hard to beat. It is basically
identical in performance to the BC220/230XLTs. Very good VHF
performance and good UHF and 800MHz performance. The only
real problems you might experience are due to intermodulation
if you live in an urban area with strong paging and cellular
phone frequencies. This is the price you pay for a cheaper
double-conversion unit. To get around this you'd need to
upgrade to a triple-conversion unit that will cost you
over $300 for a new radio.
   Overall, you've got a good radio and should have plenty
of great times with it! Good luck!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

I can think of two reasons

1) Some people have to have the latest and greatest in technology.
   They hear the AR-8000 is the cream of the crop and order one
   without ascertaining if it's the right radio for them. One look
   at the 120+ page manual and they freak. Next week it's for sale.
   This is not a radio for the weak of heart...
2) They decide the really didn't want to pay $600 for a scanner.

Don't be fooled...it's a fantastic radio!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

        In the Winter 1996 edition of "Poptronix" you can get the
plans to make a frequency converter, you can order the kit to make the
converter, or you can just call them up and tell them that you want
them to put it together for them. I just dont see that the 1994 act
prohibits the converters. I feel that it is a legal loophole that most
of the politicians never thought of or would ever come to mind unless
you slammed it in their faces time after time.
        The act made it so that scanners could not easily modifiable
to receive cellular reception. With a frequency converter, you dont
even modify the scanner.
        I cant just say that they are legal, I am not going to take
all the time to ask lawyers and judges on their understanding of the
act...plus just waving a red flag in front of their faces. If they do
take a stand and consider them illegal, then ten years from now we
will be exchanging plans for frequency converters in this newsgroup
instead of mods for antiqued scanners.

There wasn't any problem with customs with the scanner I ordered from
them.  (There were MANY problems with UPS, whom I will never ever use
again if I can at all help it, but that is another story.)

I got e-mail from someone (please note the tag line below, btw) who
said "I understand there are many scanners from Javiation piled up in
the customs warehouse in Memphis, where FedEx brings them into the
country."  I suggest that this person rely less on what he
"understands" and more on actual experience.

What happens if the user misses a frequency or two?  (Say I've found

Does the BC235XLT have the ability to act as a conventional scanner as
well as a trunked scanner?  If so, is it one or the other, or can you
mix-and-match such that some banks are searched "normally" and others are
searched via the data channel?  If not, will this be incorporated in the
future desktop models described earlier?

One interesting thought, what is going to happen if Motorola decides
to defeat this, by just changing the software in the radios, and
controllers, for a different make up of the data word?

How will this handle systems with more than 15 repeaters?

I thought I had seen a demo of probe as well, but I think what you may
be thinking of is the Pocsag Decoder, or pd program -- probe has never
had a demo and the author isn't currently really working on that aspect
of the software, he's more concerned with features and making the
software the best it can be.  This is a Good Thing.

I am very very grateful for Steve's web page -- I've downloaded the
frequency files and am working on a recipe to make it easier to use
something like FileMaker pro to make more (nearly there...).

Whilst Probe is dos based, I now consider that to be one of its greatest
assetts.  It's a fantastically useful program and can do just about
everything you could imagine, and a few things you can't.

Part of why I took a gamble on probe was that the author really did his
best to answer all my questions that I had, both prior to purchase and
after...he's been very patient as I made stupid mistakes and had
hardware problems, but he's given me some great ideas and has shown me
that at least one person still really believes in doing business with
the customer/client in mind...

I didn't try probe out first, took a real gamble, but I love it.  I even
managed to sequester an old 386 just for probe until my new pentium pro
arrives...

I don't know who originally posted this message, but I'm more than happy
to answer any questions about probe that anyone may have.

I would strongly suggest you take a look at Probe and a OS535 equipped
Radio Shack PRO-2042.  It doesn't do spectrum analysation (Probe
doesn't, yet at least), but for high speed computer control you can't
beat this combination.  I have heard of people using this with a
laptop...they'll keep the PRO2042 under their seat or in the back of the
car, then run the serial cable to the laptop, the speaker output to the
cassette deck and they're well away.

I also have a AOR8000, but so far haven't really worked on using that as
a computer controlled scanner.

I designed an adjustable computer desk and now have a set of plans
available.  The desk (including two bookend style desktop shelves)
is built from a single sheet of 3/4" plywood with no wasted wood.

It is very easy to build.  Simply mark and cut straight lines and
then glue the parts together (clamping is unique and a snap to do).
A young person with adult supervision can easily build.  People tell
me that they really like it.

Inexpensive to build - I generally use "paint-grade" plywood which
cost about $35 for good quality and then paint it with a couple of
coats of satin wall and woodwork paint.  Very durable!

I originally built a simple version for my daughter ten years ago,
but have since modified it to make it adjustable for any school age
up to adult.  I think it's perfect for study, computer, hobby, etc.

If you would like a free copy of the plans, please e-mail me your
snail mail address or write to me at my snail mail address below.
I only ask that if you build and enjoy the desk, then you send me
a small payment (what you think that it's worth to you - small!).
This helps me continue to mail plans out to people, schools, etc.

I am a "stay-at-home-dad" so it may take me a week or two to get
it to you.  I'll eventually convert to GIF files so I can just
e-mail them.  Please let me know what you think!

Just received a Radio Shack Pro 51 Scanner for Christmas and have had
great fun listening in calls. Also got the  Police Call Plus book.  But I
am sure their are a number of frequencies that are not listed.  Can
someone be kind enough to e-mail me a list of frequencies for the
Cincinnati/Hamilton County area.  And also about any local scanners clubs
in the area.  Thanks in advance.

There is the ICAO phonetic alphabet.  This is the one used in aviation.
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.

Geez Hugh.  Not again.

If you will clearly look at the newsgroup, you will find that I have
only entered a couple of messages on the group about this crap.  I do
not want to extend it, and have done nothing to extend it.

If you care to look at the thread, you will find that others, in fact
the standard "other" for the most part, are once again trying to tear
the group apart.  Let's not, you and I, contribute to it.

Lets not start the crap again?  No one wins.

If you want to flame me, or discuss something with me, let's retire to
netmail.

Now, if you would like to have a lively discussion about scanning
related subjects, such as monitoring the eveready bunny tracking
teams, then let's talk.

Otherwise, let's not get into it here on the group.

Given:
        1st IF = 10.85 MHz
        Scanner programmed to 507.575 MHz
        Hearing signals transmitted on 154.725 MHz

then:
        1st local oscillator injection into 1st mixer supposed to be
                = 507.575 - 10.85
                = 496.725 MHz

        This is not generated by as a fundamental. Instead, it is
        usually a much lower frequency oscillator
        multiplied up by 9 (3 x 3) or more.

        So there is energy present, due to the local oscillator
        and multiplier(s), at 496.725, 496.725/3,
        and probably 496.725/9.

        496.725/3
        = 165.575 MHz

        Ergo, you have multiple frequencies injected into
        the first mixer at the same time, including 165.575 and
        496.725 MHz.

        The police (or whatever) transmitting on 154.725 mixes
        with the 165.575 energy, and the difference is

        = 165.575 - 154.725
        = 10.85 MHz
        = 1st IF

I documented this phenomenon  in
the article "512 - 657 MHz Reception on Your Scanner",
Monitoring Times, February 1985, page 19.
It described the technique of using "multiple injection frequencies,"
and introduced an equation which permits listening in
the 512 - 657 MHz range (UHF television channels 21 through 44)
using radios designed to receive 402 - 512 MHz.

In a subsequent article (I forgot which MT issue)
I introduced another equation, permitting 851 - 1158 MHz reception
using a Radio Shack PRO30 scanner designed to receive 380 - 512 MHz.
The technique is applicable to (some) other scanners.

Using this equation, my Radio Shack PRO30 scanner received the
Illinois State Police District 15 (855.4875) when
the radio was programmed for 381.9250 MHz.

It detects the scanner?  Just how does it do this?  Since the scanner is not
sending out radio freq., just receiving them how would this be possible?  This

has got to be a joke!

PSCAN stands for Priority Scan.  The BC3000XLT scrolls the
word "SCAN" and lights the PRI indicator while scanning
memory channels with priority anabled.

The HS200 PSCAN label is just another way to indicate the same thing.

The HS200 has to be the handheld bargain of 1996.  At a street
price of about $250, you get a high performance 200 channel
scanner with good audio and PL and DPL built in -- that's unique
in a portable.

Peek inside the HS200 and you'll see a better shielding job
than most GRE or Uniden portables.  The radio board is entirely
enclosed in its own metal subcabinet.

The HS200 first IF is 280.2 MHz, and it has much better image
rejection than competitors in its price class with 10.8 MHz IFs.

I am curious - if my primary purpose for purchasing a scanner is for
mobile computer controlled operation, is there any good reason why I
should purchase a desktop unit like the PRO-2042 over a handheld unit
like the PRO-26?  Both spec as 25MHz - 1.3GHz, 50 channel/second scan,
triple conversion.  The handheld unit is smaller, adds the "data skip"
feature, and is cheaper.

So my questions are -

1) Can the Pro-26 take all the mods that the Pro-2042 can? (I'd like
continuous coverage over all bands, especially the 520-760 range.)

2) Can the Pro-26 take all the interfaces that the Pro-2042 can? (I
have no problem signifigantly modifying the case, so a interface
requiring an external addition is not a problem.)

3) Does the receiver in the Pro-26 work as well as the Pro-2042?

I'd prefer the compact handheld style of the Pro-26 over the larger
case of the -2042, but only want to purchase the -26 if it will still
work as I want.

I greatly appreciate any help available on this matter.

Jeff,
        If you know the actual fleet map for the system you want to
monitor then yes you can enter that information into the scanner.
Basically the ID address space has been divided into 8 blocks and you will
need to (for a Type I system) set a size code for each one of these blocks.
This will give you access to every Fleet-Subfleet on the system, of which
there could be hundreds. In SEARCH mode you would hear them all sooner or
later. In SCAN mode of course, you only place in the Scan Lists,  those
specific Fleet-Subfleets you are interested in.

        There is some talk of a model that will allow tracking of multiple
systems at the same time, but for now you will have to manually switch
between trunked systems. Hope this helps.

Well, what your suggesting can be done, BUT, it's kinda like empting a
lake with a bucket.

I set-up the configuration and programmed 45 Mot. MTX9000's (Conv/Trunked)
Hand helds. It took about 30 mins to dump the programming into each radio.
(and about 40 hrs to figure out the complex, customization of the radio
config, to meet our needs) Talk groups, scan groups, can you mix type I &
type II in the same scan groups, what about adding Conv channels into scan
groups, what function is this button performing, can you program it to do
that? and how about this switch.

Not an easy job at all! And to do that to hundreds of thousands of radios
in like So. Calif.

B-T-W this Motorola Tech time is not cheap, I was the first to get
MTX9000's in Northern Calif (jedi's). Nobody at the Motorola Shops had
held one. When an order came in for 100 from a large Credit Card Comp,
they offered me big bucks and anything I needed to do the job. None of
their techs had done it yet, besides being chronically shorthanded. Of
course my employer nixed any side work, something about being a temp. emp.
of one of our vendors. I could have made between $3500 - $4000 for the
job, yes they were desperate!

Hi.  A friend of mine just bought an AOR 2700 (?) handheld in Toronto.
It most definately has unobstructed coverage and picks up Cellular.  He
bought it at Atlantic Ham Radio [phone].  They do ship mail order
- and I suspect to the USA.  The unit he bought is on sale (end of model
line) for 500$CDN.

1. How many generations of BC 200XLTs were manufactured? I have been told that

all BC 200 XLTs are cellular modifiable. Is this true?

I have accessed the mod instructions on the internet, but the description and
ASCII drawing of the resistor (and its location) to be cut in half for
restoration do not match the circuit board in my radio.

2. Is there a difference between the Uniden 1147 IC in the mod description and

the Uniden 1147A IC in my radio?

3. In my BC 200 XLT there is no resistor where it should be according to the
instructions (above the letters "DEN" on the IC). Rather there is a small (1mm

by 2mm) rectangular surface mount component labled "103." There are many other

similar rectangular components located at various places on the circuit board,

each with its own unique number. Is "103" equivalent to the resistor that
should be cut? Is it safe to cut "103?"

4. Are BC 200XLTs with the Uniden 1147A chip modifiable? If so how?

5. Do you know the date code? Mine says "OAID" or "0A1D."

Thanks in advance for you help.

Up here in Canada we have the same choices as the US.
The most popular brands:Realistic and Uniden are essentially
the same(no cell. coverage)
Why??
I don't know,there is no law against monitoring it(as far as I know).
BUT,I highly doubt you would ever have a problem up here(as Canadians)
obtaining  a "full coverage" scanner.
Whether it was imported by a company or an individual.
I know Optoelectronics and EEB send a full coverage "whatever"
when ordering to Canada(I've asked them)

WOW!  That's a tremendous price for a directory.  Just picked up the
brand new Police Call at RS for $12.95.  I would say that's a better
deal.

Don't support publishers who over price their goods, it only serves to
encourage others to gouge and hurts the hobby.

No, but gas price in Canada are twice as much as down here.  For g0d's
sake, fill up your gas tank before you cross the border!

Check Monitoring Times.  They have a couple of dealers who advertise.

What's a good scanner for someone just getting started? I'd prefer a
handheld model to cover police, fire, etc.....would also like air

It's purely marketing, RatShack finds it's just easier to not have a
different model between Canada and the USA. Other makes probably the
Canadian scanner market is just too small to bother about.

Am thinking of ordering pro-26 from Javiation, what problems can I
expect and what is the desirable method of shipping, and how long does
shipping & customs take.

I just had a friend give me an old xtal Bearcat III scanner. Before I go
out and order a couple of xtals from RS, I have two questions:

1. what is the difference between Module A and Module B on the xtal deck?

2. what is the freq range?

I realize this is close to a boatanchor, but its in nice shape and works
on the xtals in the 30mhz range.

In advance, thanks for any help.

Not really.  It would require a redesign of the scanner!

No, no, no.  You looked at it from just a MRSS viewpoint.  Look at it
from a firmware viewpoint.

Think about if Motorola distributed to all their software subscribers,
a diskette with software, of they same type as software tools.
(although you can bet it would be crippled to do only this operation,
and not all the neat stuff that can be done with the regular versions
of software tools)

This software would be capable of modifying the data word, that goes
out on the data channel, so that what was, say a parity bit, is now a
bit telling it what group to go to.  And that old parity bit, that was
either ignored by the trunktracker, or used for other purposes, is now

misread by the trunktracker.

Yes, it would require reprogramming, (Which could just be a cloning
operation, as you would not be changing anything in the standard MRSS)
but many types of motorola systems would most likely be able to
accomplish this over the air, ala dynamic regrouping.

>Not an easy job at all! And to do that to hundreds of thousands of radios
>in like So. Calif.
But, the real market of the scanner, is going to be to monitor public
safety.  Narrows it down a bit.  And without having to change anything
in the MRSS, a lot easier.

Over the air, piece of cake.

35 to 4000 for 100 radios, is about the standard, heck it is actually
a bit cheap for trunking systems.

I charge $25.00 apiece for a conventional Motorola radio
reprogramming, more for trunked.  And I am in a very rural area.  In
the metropolition areas, you can run into 50 plus per radio.

Make sure the board for the band you want to cover is
already installed inside your BC-III before you buy a crystal.

The BC-III can only cover two bands at any given time,
depending on which front end board is installed.  It did not
cover the 800 MHz band at all.

Too, VHF-low band boards were peaked for different parts
of the 30-50 MHz range.

From the FAQ " Buying a Used Scanner:"

Bearcat III (Electra):  1976  vintage.   8  channel  crystal
controlled  scanner.   Requires  optional  front-end circuit
board for VHF-low, VHF-high,  and  UHF  bands,  but  only  2
boards  can  be installed within the radio at the same time.
Two crystal filters.  No aircraft band coverage  nor  rescan
delay.   Front  mount  speaker  sounds  good.   Strong local
oscillator radiation often causes  interference  with  other
scanners in the same house.

   There is an independent repair facility which repairs old
    out of date scanners....UNIDEN will cut off models they
    do not repair....and I think the 250 and 300 and those
    are nominated.

   Here is the repair man to talk with:
      Electronic Repair Center
      Franklin Park, NJ
      708-455-5105

    This guy has been doing it for a long
    time and repairs old scanners and he
    charges flat rates....

    call him and report back if he still
    does it...

    or look in Pop Mechanics or Pop Science
    adn there is a ad for scanner repairs...
     maybe the same guy....

    bill conduit
    etc.

This would be easily fixed by a firmware fix to the TrunkTracker.  It's
supposed to have a data port so I can't see it as being too tough for
Uniden to figure out. Put the fix on a Web page for downloading with
instructions and chances are most users would have it before all agenies
radios could get it. Add to that ALL of the Motorola radios would have to
be changed rather quickly and thats all but impossible. It's just not
worth the hassle. Various militaries have tried this with little success.
They will have to come out with a totally new format to defeat this and
the price they would charge would put off most agencies.

Actually they do give a little damn.  Trunked system developers found
it easy to sell these systems on the platform that trunking increases
"security".  Whether a bad or good force, a bunch of scanner kooks
isn't a big enough political force to offend, so why protect their
past time in favor of a big sale?

Here's a little piece I clipped from the 911 Dispatch site.  A reader
laments that their county has gone trunked.  The columnist (Sage)
responds in a tone reflective of my point here.  He even mentions the
TrunkTracker.

Here it is:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Sage,

Our neighboring police department switched to an 800 MHz trunked
system. Now we can't monitor anything they say, making coordinating
incidents tougher. Any suggestions?

Trunked


Dear Trunked,

Your neighbor should be willing to give you a mobile unit, which your
radio shop can squeeze into the console somehow. At worst, you cold
simply wire up a 12-volt converter and beomce one of their "mobile
unit." While you ponder that, know that Seattle is preparing for a
Motorola 800 MHz trunked radio system. They'll let the press purchase
radios to monitor certain talk groups, but will block other sensitive
ones. Get this: there's word Seattle has suggested Motorola market a
consumer-level scanner that tracks trunked transmissions. Although
scannerheads are drooling over this idea, it not likely! The big Mo
has spent millions defending its proprietary software and will never
license it to benefit mere scannerheads.

Sage

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I got this from: http://www.911dispatch.com/TheSage-1.html (a great
site by the way!).

I'm in Las Vegas and don't go to Laughlin much so these may not be active.

Las Vegas Metro Police Department (LVMPD) serves the city of Las Vegas
and most of Clark County, including Laughlin.  Try

    148.850 LVMPD Chn 11 Laughlin Resident Officers
    156.210 LVMPD Chn 8  Car to Car

Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) uses car radios between 42 and 43 MHz.  My
radio doesn't do well there but I have heard their mobile extendors (I
have to be close to one of their cars).

    154.920  NHP Mobile extenders

Take a look at http://coyote.accessnv.com/jps/freq.html .  Some of those
frequencies may also be used in Laughlin.

You should be able to hear Bullhead City, AZ across the river.

I'd like to know what you find when you're there.  Have fun.

Hey,

            I was the origional author of this SCANNER ACTION post. The
cops break the law, violate our rights, and more specifically, entrap
folks even vaguely looking like they might want to talk to a hooker. Can
we do anything about it? I think we can. All non-violent, just intelligent
use of scanners, cam-corders, usage of the 1st amendment at the proper
times and so on.

I would like to apologize to Michael Alexander for referring to his
book "The Underground Guide to Computer Security" (Addison-Wesley
Publishing Co.) in a manner that could be considered derogatory.  The
post was in jest and no malice was intended.  It is really a fine book
and you should all go out and buy a copy.

Doesn't look to me like these folks are aiming at the consumer market
in the same way that DirecPC are. Do they even offer internet access
to individuals over their satellite service - I can't find any prices
for setup and monthly charges.

Anyone here using them care to comment?

Oke, who says its working allright. I have to admit, here in Holland
i've never seen one and maybe its the solution for monitoring military
aircraft.

Does someone know if it works properly? I listen to military aircraft
the whole day (if work does not interrupt). So tell me, is it worth to
try. The antenne has to come from far far away, so can someone tell me
about it?

 TT> #3. You routinely hear stations 100-200 miles away.

At my work i have an antenna were i can monitor traffic in Germany at
approx. 100 to 150 miles i think. I build it myself with the help
of the guys from a amateur.

 >  Also, it is a very
 > small and compact antenna, easily transported to airshows, etc.

At an airshow you don't need a special antenna, just a small (is
the name whip-?) stake-/stick- or bar-antenna is enough. I don't
know the proper word for it.

I hope someone can help out here.

I won't argue about the Yesau FT-50R.  The description sounds great and
my Yeasu 2m mobile is very easy to use.

But back to the Icom.  It's the IC-2SRA (IC-4SRA for 440).  I purchased
mine in 1992.  The receiver tunes from 25 MHz to 950 MHz and can be set
for FM, Wide FM, or AM on any frequency.  I can listen to broadcast FM (a
$15 walkman sounds better), CB radio (a mobile CB works much better *and*
transmits), military aviation (this could be exciting but I haven't done
anything with it), and it's not cell blocked.  Back when it was OK to
listen to cell phones I did, for about 5 minutes.  It's amazing how
utterly boring a strangers conversation can be!

Oh, the second antenna.  This is not a feature, it's a curse.  The 2m
antenna's fine, same BNC we find all over the place.  The receiver antenna
plugs into a jack like a speaker jack.  The antena tends to slide out and
fall (quitly) to the ground if the radio is under my jacket.  Normally I
just stuff the antena in my pocket and shut off the receiver.

I would love my 2SRA unconditionaly if it wasn't for that stupid little
antenna.  OK, it would also be nice to transmit on 440.  ;-)  I might buy
something different today.

Maria,

Here is my suggestion for you to try.......
I have had a scanner for many years and enjoy listening to it. The best
place to start is to go to your local Radio Shack store and pick up the
"Police Call" frequency book. I don't know how much they are asking for
it, but in that book is all the frequencies you could ever want for
Police, Fire, Ambulance........everything! What I listen to is police
and Fire, and Railroad communications. My hobby is Railroads and I have
all the frequencies programmed into my scanner here at home. (Lansing)

I hope I was able to help you. Happy Scanning! If ya need any help, I
can be reached on the Net.......My Email address is: [e-mail]

If I can help you out, feel free to contact me and I will be more than
happy to do what I can for you.

Tim Lewis

Buy it! You might even try to talk them down a few bucks. Believe it
or not, I was able to find the same scanner for $100 also at a pawn
shop. I think they must have mistaken it for an older model since it
was a lower number than they were used to seeing. They don't make this
type of mistake often so if you're lucky enough to catch one, grab it!


Enjoy!

Did you have a specific unit in mind?  Baud rates, system, etc?

Can you get it programmed locally?

Kent,
        You may want to try Planet Systems,  who distribute files, fido,
newsgroups,
etc. to BBS operators via sat downlink.  They sell a kit with dish, lnb and
data
receiver and offer the custom software via month, quarter or year
subscription.
They may be able to sell just the dish.  It is about 3' with adjustable
elevation
and focal length.  It is offered in a number of mounting configurations.
Also,
Huges (Direct PC), PC-Sat (just purchased Page Sat (I think)), or any of
the
data service providers should be able to point you to a vendor that has the
proper dish.  I have one with and old Planet Connect setup I used while
running a
BBS a few years back.  It used a receiver made by IDC which was a FM
Squared
data receiver with selectable carrier and subcarrier freqs, data speed and
type, and
scrambling method.  The unit was fed by a Ku LNB with 11.7 - 12.2 GHz in
and 950-
1450 Mhz out at 55 dB gain; noise figure 0.8dB; LO 10.75 GHZ.

     Although a bit more than you requested, maybe the extra info can help
you decide
if this type of dish would do the job.  If not for the hassle of finding a
shipping container,
I would offer to sell mine.

Planet Connect and Skylink - Both from Planet Systems; The folks

PC-Sat http://www.pc-sat.com who recently took over Page sat operations

I know there are others, but these came to mind.  I have been trying to
remember
planet connects web site, but can't recall it.

I was curious to know if anyone knew of any WEFAX frequencies I could pick
up on my uniden handheld scanner to try and use some shareware to display
this through the sound input on my computer.  I'm in the Manhattan, KS
area.  Any radio waves I can pick up and then through software convert into
weather info(radar maps I hope) would be great.  thanks.

As far as I can recall the SR-900 was the same as the Bearcat 175XL - you

(Not aimed at you Jamie)

I thought you just never beleived what you read in the papers !

For a start we do not ship scanners by FedEx (there are some exceptions to
this) but it I can count on my fingers and thumbs the number we have sent
by FedEx in the last 12 months - infact probably since 1994. Of these all
have been delivered.

I'm afraid to say whomever stated above is taking no more than Mumbo Jumbo
(No offense to any Mumbo Jumboeons amongst us !)

All the best for a peaceful & proseprous New Year.

Hi,

Santa has just given me an Opto Scout for Chrimbo!! I've just
seen an advert stating that the latest is the Opto Scout 40
mark 2!

What is the difference between the various models of Opto Scouts?

I vaguely remember a thread a while back regarding the sleep mode
and memory saves when turned off?

TIA

Dave Cripps

Searching on my scanner found a new frequency that covers a town nearby.
It's not listed in any guides/CDs I have.

Every 15 minutes they send out morse code of their call sign. If I capture
this audio to my computer (mac and/or pc) is there any software that can
listen to it and display the call sign? It would let me search all the
scanner resources by the same callsign.

Any thoughts?

Take it easy,

Andy

NewsBot is a better one, but I don't know where you can download it.
Try search engines.

Can someone help me identify who belongs to callsign WNMD354.  I can't
find it in my somewhat outdated database.

It is a trunked system somewhere in Connecticut or Rhode Island.

I would be interested in knowing the Licensee and Transmitter
Location.

Thanks.

If you capture it on your pc, can you slow it down enough to translate
it one character at a time?  I know this is slow, but do you run
across this everyday?  You could proabably even look at it graphically
and translate the dots and dashes (dits and dahs).  Lots of reference
books explain the morse code.  If you can't find one, email me the
characters and I will translate.

A good first scanner would be a Uniden Sportcat SC150. You get
100 channels, 12 bands(which includes VHF lo & hi, commercial
aero, UHF and 800MHz), scans and searches very fast, and 100
search lockout frequencies. All this for only $160 mail order.
And you get to pick black or yellow case color!

Strong signals,

NYC Scannermaster provides MUCH more information than PoliceCall.  Unit
ID's,  station locations, local 10 codes, maps, CTCSS codes, etc.  I've
used both directories and hardly ever use my PoliceCall any more. IMHO
it's well worth the extra money.  BTW I am in no way connected with NYC
Scannermaster.

Yes, it's not cheap. However, have you even looked at the new
ScannerMaster???
You may as well gripe at the $40,000 price tag a new Lincoln brings, but
your getting a Lincoln not a Pinto! To compare Police Call to Scanner
Master is like comparing Filet Monion to hamburger.

Can't find any pricing information on the PC-Sat home page. Planet
Connects home page is http://www.planetc.com/pc.htm

Their pricing seems to be in the same range as DirecPC, although they
aren't real clear on whether they offer standard internet connections.
They talk a lot about BBS and FidoNet, and only mention the internet
in passing. Furthermore I can't find where they describe how upstream
is handled. I'm guessing you don't transmit upstream via the dish, so
it must rely on a telephone connection for upstream.

DirecPC allows you to use your current ISP for upstream, and
downstream comes over the satellite. Planet Connect don't seem to go
into any details on this. Anyone using them care to comment?

Is the Pro-2040 moddable to include the full 800MHz?  What about the huge
chunk missing in 513-805MHz?

Another (could be dumb?) question: is it possible to unlock reception in
the normal FM band (87-108MHz)?

I had the unit apart and just from gut instinct I found out how to get 200
channels out of it.

There are three blank 'spots' which could hold a chip resistor or
capacitor.  One of them selects 100 or 200 channels, another one seems to
limit the lowest frequency to 60MHz instead of the normal 29MHz, and the
third one doesn't seem to do anything.

Would they be getting sneaky now and putting the trace to cut UNDER the
microprocessor nowadays?

Also if I could get the chip pinouts/specs on the Uniden UC1701 I'd really
appreciate it.  It's teh brain in this scanner.

I can't find any mention of this at their home page http://www.tps.fr/
but then my french isn't fantastic. Presumably this service would be
aimed at France, and not available in the USA.

Could someone explain what is meant by a trunked system?  From what I
understand, it seems like the whole city government uses the same
channels, and commuications move to the next available channel.

I'd appreciate a better explanation.

I wish you DID; if you'd used FedEx instead of UPS I'd have had far
fewer problems with delivery of my Yupi.

I've never had FedEx simply not show up on the agreed-on day for a
redelivery, and then had the driver claim he did show up and that I
wasn't there; this happened with this particular UPS shipment.  This
was on a Friday and it was the last weekday on which I'd not be out of
town for the next two weeks.

After 4 PM that day I tried calling them.  "Where's my package?" Well,
sir, deliveries can run as late as 7 PM.  7 PM?!?  What if this was a
business?  But the joker here is that if they miss the delivery, the
local office is CLOSED by then, so no way to talk to anybody who can
do anything about it -- only their national 800 number.

After 7 PM I called them again.  They then insisted that they HAD to
ship the package back to you (due to the outstanding COD charge for
duty) if they couldn't deliver it, or have me come in and pick it up,
within three or four more days.  Which I told them was impossible,
since their office isn't open for pickup on weekends, and I'd be out
of town weekdays for the next two weeks.  THey kept insisting that
they'd rather ship the package all the way back to England than simply
let it sit in their office for two weeks.

After asking for about the twentieth time if there was any way to
deliver it on a Saturday, they finally relented and said they'd "try
to send a message to the San Diego office to request Saturday
delivery, but most UPS offices don't do Saturday delivery and even if
they do there's no guarantee that anyone will read this message before
shipments go out."  What a way to run a shipping business!

But I did get my scanner (they did deliver it on Saturday) and it was
not held up by customs -- only by asinine UPS business practices that
make me wonder why they're still in business when FedEx is around.

The BC 250 is the first, and one of the few, scanners with search and
store and lockout in search mode. If you can live with the limited
coverage it is worth fixing. It can be 'tricked' into covering 406 -
420, incidentally.
The main problem is a voltage regulator that overheats causing the
microprocessor to work erratically or not at all. If that is the
problem you are having, you can replace the regulator for a few bucks.
If you decide to junk it, let me know. Maybe I have something to
trade.

The City of Seattle has finally come out with its Citizen Access guide to
the 800mhz trunked system.  Basically, this is a short description of
trunking, how much the radios cost, where to get them (call the Motorola
Rep), a list of talk groups that will be programmed into the radio by the
City's radio shop, and forms to sign.

Among the interesting things in the Citizen Access Guide:

15 talk groups for the Seattle Fire Department

5 talk groups for Seatte Police (dispatch only; no tactical talk groups)

In addition to providing photo id with the programming request, there is
also this provision on the form:  "I will not sell or otherwise transfer
ownership of my radio without the advance approval of the City of Seattle."

If you want a copy of this Citizen Access Guide, call
Katherine-Schubert-Knapp at 206-386-1234.
Mail:
Department of Administrative Serivces,
618 Second Ave,
Seattle, WA  98104

You can also ask for the trunked frequencies, which won't do you much good
without a trunked radio.

As I understand it, and I may be somewhat off, it goes like this.

There are x number of channels (the trunks) allocated to a
company/business/city etc. There are y virtual channels (where y > x)
that essentially share the smaller number of trunks. Since most of the
time there is no transmitting, there trunks can be shared. The radios
are set to a logical channel (A1,A2, etc) and all users of that
channel hear what is transmitted, when set for two way. The radios can
hop from trunk to trunk transparent to the users.

I haven't seen it personally, but I think it can also be set up so
that you receive on one trunk and transmit on another, as in a police
dispatch mode where the mobile units only hear the dispatcher, and not
each other.

Off topic a bit here but,
does anyone know if
Uniden will make two
versions of the Trunk
Tracker??
A cell.capable and
probably the one North
America will see?

Kinda like the BC-3000
and the UBC-3000.

Hi!
        I just got a scanner, and I wonder if anyone has a list of the codes
used by the police/emercengy, so that I can understand what they are
talking about.

Thanks,

If you are moving with a cellular phone and the signal gets weak, the
cell site will hand off the call to the next closest cell site.
Sometimes it will hand off even if you are not moving.

I can't help you there, but the frequencies that the track officials use
at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ are:
153.005,153.016,153.034 (These freqs may be a little off, but this is what
my Opto Scout registered.... I then programed them in and my scanner may
have rounded them off, however since I was sitting in the bleachers I had
no problems with reception.

In my opinion Percon is a waste of money.  I have the Canadian version
and have found it to be out of date.  Most of all it does NOT include
any emergency service frequencies.  It is a copy of the DOC data base
and took them no time to just copy it onto disk to resell it you
others.

The software included is very basic and limited in its functions
making seurching difficult.

The same informaiton is available from Communications Canada or the
DOC web pages for you to download.

I recommend getting it directly form the internet and spending your
money on a good data base program that will make seurching easier.

If its Emergency services your interested in many people offer the
information for free in the internet.

Just my 2 cents worth.

If you are on a personal basis with some of the police officers in the
town, why don't you take a frequency counter and ask one of them to key
the mike for 5-10 seconds and get the reading?

Tim,
It's the Channelmaster model 5094A. You can call Channelmaster in
Smithfield North Carolina at 919 989-2210 or visit their website
www.channelmaster.avnet.com and if you call, just ask them for a dealer
in your area. I put one of these up a week ago and it blew away my
Austin Spectra which cost 4x the price. Excellent reception in all of
its advertised bands.

Good luck

wnmd354 is licensed to George E. Trayner.

Appears to me that the transmitter site is located atop Mt. Tom,
near Holyoke, MA.

Check out 861.1375, 862.1375, 863.1375, 864.1375, and 865.1375  MHz.

Based on the IC-R10 I tested, I'd hang onto the AR8000 for now.
I think it's a case of fairly good hardware being held captive
by inadequate firmware.

For  tips  and  modification information, see my Scanner Equipment
column in June 1996 Monitoring Times.  You'll need one DPDT
switch and a BC9000XLT service manual.

For a full review, see the March 1995 column.

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 [phone].

Note: I don't get any part of the $2.00.

Speaking of which, anyone know how FlyteTrax gets their data? I've used it

The modules are for Low, High or UHF, (any one or two can be installed at
one        time).

> 2. what is the freq range?

Low   30-50MHz
High 146-174MHz

I also have one of these in great condition. They have quite good audio
with 2.5W in a 3 X 5" speaker.

Are you looking for a Graphics viewer,a NewsReader, or the actual News
Group?

Configure AGENT (or FREE AGENT) to point to PSP (Paint Shop Pro) on
your computer and subscribe to one of the newsgroups such as:
alt.binaries.teens      or whatever your interest is and just push the

LAUNCH ATTACHMENT icon to have it saved and viewed.   As you check
them out you might want to hit <ALT>, <F>, <D>   to delete them before
closing the PSP window if you don't want them.

Hope that some of this helps!

I know you hate to work through RS, but why don't you have your local
store manager (assuming you have a store near you) order the part for you.
That way, you save shipping costs AND have an easy place to return the
merchandise if it doesn't work out (30-day return policy). Just a
suggestion.

I just bought a Uniden Bearcat 860xlt for

$200. It has a fast scanning freature

called Turbo which scans 300steps per sec.

and 100steps normal. Is that good? But I

saw a RS scanner on sale (Pro-2037) for

$200! Its a triple conversion, what ever

that is... I just want a scanner that can

pick up cordless freq (46-49Mhz) very GOOD.

Also which one is better over all? Thank

you, please help asap!

When listening to Philadelphia police frequencies sometimes phone
calls bleed over.  One phone call was on for about 15 minutes with a
married man talking to his ex-girlfriend describing what they used to
do.  I guess it entertained the cops.

Get a BC890XLT.  It has 200 channels, military air, and cellular can be
heard by image.  It is a base though.  You can sell this scanner easily
when you are ready to move on.  It is a fun little scanner.  I started
seriously with one of these.

The 49 MHz frequencies for cordless phones are just the handset so you only
hear one side of the conversation.  The 46 MHz frequencies for cordless
phones are base frequencies so you hear all sides of the conversation.

Hopefully Helpful to All

The police probably couldn't hear what you were hearing.  Scanners can
be subject to a lot of interference that users of the network you're
monitoring don't have to deal with.

I'm new to all this, having just bought a scanner and "Metroscan" by Ron
Stevens (3rd edition), which has a lot of frequencies for So. Cal, etc.
Unless I'm completely confused (always a possibility), the frequencies for
various LA County Sheriff divisions have been rejiggered.  Does anybody
know what frequencies the Altadena Sheriff station is dispatched on, and
know where an updated guide to Sheriff's frequencies might be obtained?

Thanks.

Hello all. I'm a beginner scanner buff, with an AOR AR-900. I picked
it up used from a friend and I don't know much about scanning.

This scanner is a small handheld, with a rubber-duckey antenna. My
question is about using another antenna to increase range/quality.
What sort of antenna will I need? Will an antenna located outside a
window with a cable running to my scanner do the trick? What sort of
outdoor antenna (if any) will I need, and what will it cost? Can I
make it myself?

Thanks.

Far as I know, being a Canadian, most scanning receivers, not scanners
are 800 Mhz capable. The ICOM R-7000/7100/8500/9000 series
have the cell band. All of Radio Shack's radio's are blocked since
they are assembled in the U.S.and subjected to that silly  little
law...sorry I get like that sometimes....The prices are quite high up
here eg: R-9000 is running at about $9500.00 cdn. As for bringing it
over the border back to the states, you could probably pass it thru
without incident by claiming it's Ham Radio Equipment covered under
the NAFTA and the earlier Free Trade agreement plus, the fact that
the U.S. and Canada have several agreements concerning Amateur
Radio purchase Tariffs. I know that a few Yanks have been buying
full coverage radio's here. But, if the well armed U.S. Customs man
asks you to explain its function and if it covers what it should not
I would imagine some problems would arise. What I have said here
is not actual verbatim of current laws, I'm only telling what I have
experienced in the past. As for dealers, try this web site:
 www. norham.com his prices are better tham Atlantic Ham in
Toronto, he's a genuine thief.


Good Luck

I won't argue the point on the Canadian version, other than to say the
format at the Industry Canada site is not the easiest to deal with and I
don't have the free space on my harddrive to keep it online.

Since the FCC doesn't make its database available on the net, I've
bought the $29.95 PERCON Spectrum CD in 1995 and again in 1996.  The
software doesn't do everything I would like, but since the data is in
dBASE format, I can easily make custom extracts from the database.  I
recommend the US version and I'll pass on the Canadian version.

I would be interested in an internet site where I can get Canadian
emergency service frequencies for Haliburton, Ontario and vicinity.

Is the Uniden Bearcat model no. 200 a good scanner, or are there better for
a price around $200-$250?

I really don't know either way, since I haven't seen the specs on the antenna,
however...  I tend to believe Mr. Tyler.  An antenna that is mounted on
an aircraft is designed to be mounted on an aircraft, not on the roof of
a house.  Its directionality is optimized for the uses it will be put to
on an aircraft, not on the ground.  Whats more, its physical design reflects
compromises needed for flight.  Obviously, you would not want some large,
massive, non-aerodynamic structure sitting behind your aircraft, although
this might be perfectly acceptable for mounting on your roof.

The fact is the military uses Humvees.  These vehicles are great if you
are trying to drive through the desert with lots of enemies trying to kill
you, but I bet most people would rather have the commercially available
Lexus LS400 to Humvee, because it outperforms the Humvee in most cases.
Still, I doubt you could convince the military to buy a Lexus.

Further, if you have the antenna and are selling it for $30, chances are
its far from state of the art.  I have used a Motorola R-390A.  The
R-390A was an excellent military receiver used in Navy ships during the
Korean war (or thereabouts).  It's a great receiver, and its milspec,
but its performance is FAR worse than most modern commercial receivers.

In otherwords, military technology is usually better than commercial
technology, when its compared against compared against commercial technology
of the same vintage, and used in the manner in which it was meant for.
Since you haven't established that either is the case, and you have clearly
established that is NOT being used in the manner which it was originally
used, I'd tend ot doubt your statements that this antenna is leaps
and bounds above commercially available ones.

Incidentily, I know of people who have communicated with satellites
with rubber duck antennas (and they were only putting out a few watts).
So the fact that you once heard the space shuttle doesn't impress me much.

Could you teach me how to test a scanner without opening the box?

About 8 months ago I looked into this ... they send usenet feeds via
satellite, so you could get newsgroups, but couldn't get web service

I have looked all over the place for a Windows Software DTMF
on-the-fly decoder.  Nobody seems to have one. I simply want
something that sits in the bottom of my screen and decodes what
might come in on the MCI Device.

If anyone is also interested in something like this - PLEASE let

Not sure why you have such a problem, unless of course you had gotten

Good job.   And yes, I had figured out what the naked chic would be,

TPS are running off the Eutelsat satellite at 13 degrees east.
You're right, it can't be seen in the USA.
I orriginally posted this in reply to your message in a group that is
aimed primarily at European satellite TV, but I see that the orriginal
message was posted quite widely.

TPS are really only intended for France, but the signal can be picked
up all over Europe.
They haven't made much noise about their Internet plans yet as its
still early days.
It should probably use the same kind of technology as Direc PC.

Sometimes they patch a call on the 800Mhz trunked police system into the

Roy,

I think your idea is a very good one. It seems like they "speed-key" the
morse code, so slowing it down will help--it doesn't seem like there are
any pauses between characters. I'll dig up a morse code chart somewhere and
give it a try.

Thanks!

I would suggest any reputable satellite tv dealer will supply from 60
cm through to 2 metre dishes including a motorised mounting if you
want to scan from on satellite to another.

Certainly here in poor ol' England, most real dealers will supply
same....

Surely in the land of abundace..........!

My Radio Shack Pro 39 scanner has almost completely lost button
sensitivity on the most frequently used buttons (such as scan,manual,
limit,etc.)  You have to push as hard as possible to activate these
functions.  Anyone run into this before?  Anyone have suggestions?
(I know I can take it to RS for repair, but I'd like to try it
myself).  Any ideas?

   Thanks.    George

Is there anyone out there from the Salt Lake City area that has all the
Fire and Salt Lake County Sheriff frequencies ?

I have most of them I found over time that are not in Police Call but
noticed I dont have them all.

There are certain things like the voltage regulator, and power supply
that should be replaced on an otherwise functional BC250.

Back in the good ole days, scanners had 4 to 16 channels and you had to
purchase a crystal for each frequency you were interested in listening to.
Nowadays, scanners support from 10 to 1000 channels or more and are said to
be 'programmable', which simply means that you can enter the desired
frequency for each channel from a numeric keypad (you don't have to buy
crystals anymore).

I think 'preprogrammed' means that the scanner comes with some common
frequencies for your area already programmed into memory for you, perhaps
including some frequency segments for searching.  I'm pretty sure that you
can overwrite these default frequencies if you so wish.

Hope this helps...

Along the same lines, my scanner (Uniden BC200xlt) receives UHF TV
channels in the 800 MHz band, hundreds of MHz away from where they
belong. For instance:

  channel 48 sound at 813.525
  channel 54 sound at 856.725
  channel 60 sound at 899.925
  channel 38 sound at 924.200

This is not simple imaging, but some more complex mixing that I don't
fully understand.

I was there unexpectedly, but I noticed VHF for the people in the lots
outside, maybe a UHF community for the shuttle busses, and GE trunked
everywhere inside.  Looked like 800 MHz antenna on HTs and many whips
on the ceilings.

I am thinking of getting hold of a mobile antenna for a handheld scanner
(Yupiteru 7100) and there appear to be two main types for external car
mount.  One is a single antenna with a spiral in it, the other has about
4 different lengths connected to the mount.  Both were priced about the
same, give or take.

Which of these two types would give a better overall performance (the
scanner runs from about 0.5 to 1650 MHz).  There must, presumably, be
areas in which each one will perform better than the other - anyone know
the advantages of these two types?

I discovered recently a weird behavior of my AR3000 (a plain 3000, a
1989 one). I wonder wether it is a firmware bug that I discovered only
now (hm, after years?), or if my unit is falling out of adjustment, be
it for aging/backup battery running out/excessive modifications... If I
remember correctly, however, some weird error every now and them always
showed up. It happens anyway to me some once a year that the scanner
gets so screwed up that I have to reach the reset button on the cpu
board, so the original firmware was surely not perfect.

The bug shows up systematically, and is the following: if you are on a
memo channel, then push 2ndF-ATT (either to switch the att on->off or
off->on), then push MEMO (to pass the memory content to the dial
buffer), the scanner doesn't lock the frequency. Sometime it stays still
for 5 secs, then the display blinks Pll-err, some other times it
silences immediately, and moving the knob you understand that it tried
to tune somewhere between 2036.0 Mhz and 100kHz (out of scale, I mean).
All this seems regardless of the original memory content, receiving
mode.

Also, I get sporadically a few other bugs such as being able (under
unpredictable circumstances) to memorize out of scale frequencies like
0.0000 or 2832 Mhz. I note that the 5v supply seems a little low
(~4.8v), so I also wonder whether it isn't rather a power supply
problem. Did anybody note similar behaviors?

On a general level I'm also very interested to share technical and mod
info about the 3000 (check out my 3 mod files for the 3000 on the usual
sites, btw).

The antenna works well mag-mounted to the roof of a vehicle, better than a rub
ber duck,
not as well as a log-periodic, but who could mount that on a vehicle roof.  It
 all depends on how you want
to use it.  I never meant to generate a huge disertation on the pros and cons
of this antenna.  If it suits your
needs for 34$, buy it, if not, don't.  The pattern is truly omni-directional a
nd it has a 1.5 db gain over an
isotropic antenna. I have the specs on the antenna and you are welcome to them
 if you leave me a mailing
address.  These specs come with the antenna radiation pattern graph.

I, personally would much rather own a military HMMWV than a Lexus.  I belong t

preserving military vehicles.  I collect military surplus radio gear and would
 love to put it in a HMMWV or
M-151.  Again, it all depends on your perspective.... you would rather have a
Lexus, I would rather have a
HMMWV.

 I know many people who would argue this point with you.  Alot of people think
 the R-390A out-performs
many of today's receivers.  I don't know snce I do not own one...but I would l

Besides, this antenna is state of the art, or should I say is currently used o

I have the same scanner and am using it in the same area. It works
great for all local, county, and state Freqs for me.  I can get all
the towns surrounding mine with the scanner. FYI:  If you do have an
out door antenna it will give you just about every FREQ around the
area that the scanner my not pick up to well. Over all I like the
scanner and its been working fine for a year now.

I saw an add for Uniden phones. They hyped them as being unscannable.
However, the $150 model stated that it was "not voice secure".
Does this mean that they in fact a transmitting in the clear and
subject to scanner pickup?

I have purchased the Spectrum CD Rom and am wondering if I am just searching
incorrectly or is information missing.

  No interstitial business band freqs in
the 460 - 470 Mhz range come up.   Specifically, one of our shopping malls use
s
a low powered repeater on 462.1125 Mhz (correctly listed in Monitor America),
but does NOT come up no matter how I search from the SPECTRUM CD Rom.

Also, the itinerants are a problem, e.g. 151.625 shows NO listings for my
county - again, other sources list multiple users.

What have other users found?

Scanner Master guides do not come out annually.  The current edition
was released within the past couple of months.

Well, I'm not clear on the difference between stations and sub-stantions,
etc., but just west of Altadena and Lake is a Sheriff's station (or
whatever) with a large radio tower.  I gather that they Altadena sheriff's
might not necessarily be dispatched from that location?

Really, WHAT did I "qoute out of context".  How can a direct & exact
qoute (which is what I did) be out of context?  Sounds like you don't
care for being confronted with facts because it changes your little
warped perception of life.

Funny, YOU are the one accusing others of lies & manipulation but have
no facts to back your statements.  Now THAT is FRAUD.

If it is really bugging the shit out of you, then you'll have to delete
those frequencies completely.  I would assume they do this to let the
police know the weather.  Usually all of the police do this, or the
dispatcher gives a weather report.

The replies you got on the 29th are good, but maybe a little more would
help.
Unlike conventional repeaters where each service has their own frequencies,
all participants (county or city, etc) share a group of them.

In the old way, the police would have 5 or 6 frequencies, the fire
department a few, water works one, etc.  You could easily monitor each
service by listening to those assigned freqs.

With the trunk system, all services have the same freqs.  Each service is
assigned a "code".
This "code" allows a particular reciever to receive only transmissions with
that code embedded.
So, fire only hears fire, police only hear police, etc.

How it works is like this.  There is a continuous CONTROL CHANNEL. this is
always active.
(With some systems like motorola, the control channel changes frequencies
periodically to put off scanner users) on one of the assigned trunk
frequencies.  When a user (a cop) picks up his microphone and pushes the
xmit button, the control channel "assigns" his radio a frequncey to xmit
on.  When he releases the xmit button, the frequency is available for use
by anyone else.

On the receive side:  A radio for the fire department listens to the
control channel constantly and switches receive frequency everytime the
control channel assigns a xmit frequency to someone in his group.  So if
"A" xmits of freq 1 .. all the fire radios switch to freq 1 and hear him.
If "A" xmits a second time, he may be assigned freq 6, but of course this
is "announced" on the control channel and all the fire radios have been
re-tuned to freq 6 and hear him.

To the users, it works like a normal radio and everyone is unaware of the
constant freq hopping. Except if things are busy -- a user, when pushing
the xmit button, has to wait until a Green lights tells him to go ahead and
talk,  if all channels are busy and one can't be assigned, he may have to
wait a bit before he can talk.

To US, the scanner monitors, it is  a SPITA.  listening to a single freq
and you will hear fire, police, water, dog catchers, etc., as they all get
assigned that freq from time to time.

One technique is to program all the trunk freqs for that tower (lock out
the control channel) and listen to the chaos.  In small areas like Brevard
County, FL -- you can pretty much make out who is who and follow things.
Some systems assign freqs from top to bottom, so reverse channel scanning
can give you an edge.

Some systems like Motorola's, periodically transmist 10 seconds of buzzing,
just to piss off scanner listeners.

Hope this helps.

cheers

They allready have... in smartzone and in astro signalling they have
re-engineered the data word.  What's going to be interesting is in a

Very good point.... here in south FLA there are few systems of less that
20 channels.

I'm looking for the UC1771 CPU for my PRO-26.  Not the american/canadian
CPU, but the 1771 is the european one which will enable complete 25-1.3GHZ
reception.

Everywhere I"m looking currently wants an arm and a leg for the chip, which
I am damn sure is no more than $50USD.  Hell even a DSP with 10 times the
power is cheaper than that.  :-)

Any leads?  I'd really appreciate it.  I know how to mod the scanner to get
800MHz right now by mapping it in 400MHz but I'm looking for something a
little slicker.  :-)

Sometimes the police re-broadcast things they are picking up on thgeir own

I'm planning on buying a portable i.e. handheld scanner & from the limited
reading I've done, I've come up with the following general criteria in what
I'm looking for.  Specific models/features/prices & any other info you can
send my way would be much appreciated.


Features I want:
Don't wanna spend much over $200.

Batery life 10 hours+ (rechargeable) Ideally I'd be able to swap standard
batteries if the rechargable ones depleted.  One that doens't lose memory
whilst swapping batteries, either.

I'd like to be able to recieve just about any gov't or public signal
available.  Police, Fire, Airplanes, Rescue Squads, DEA, FBI (any agency
with an acronym ;), Marine, Ambulances, Mall Security, etc...  Ideally
there *won't* be anything I'm locked out of (well maybe cellular).

It should be able to scan for new frequencies (in a programmable range)
very fast.  Do they make models that scan known *hot* frequencies & when
"Idling" go after new ones?  i.e. scan your favorites continuously, yet
seek new ones in programmable ranges?  Or scan your favorites & search for
*any* activity in your listening area?

Should have a memory capacity that's huge 200, 500 numbers.  Hey, memory is
cheap.  No sense in just a hundred or so, right?

I'd like this critter to go anywhere:  Hiking in hilly terrain, zipping
down the highway, lying in bed, etc.. *without* losing functionality.

Earphone capacity?  Have not heard anything about this.  My wife would sure
appreciate it :).

Once I get it, I don't want to have to buy anything else for it.  No extra
antennas, plug-ins, nothing.  It should be complete "off the shelf."

Well, does such a beast exist in the $200 range?

I thank you in advance for any info you can toss my way.


Later...

In the Portland OR area, (that's a little West of NYC, but copz iz copz,
wherever ya go!),  ;-)   RP is "Reporting Party".  I got that out of the

Looking for comments and opinions on the Yupiteru MVT-7100, also how
does this compare to the Realistic Pro-26 and which is a better value.

Like kind of a one-stop shopping place, for when they decide to swoop on
down and scoop up all our scanners (and licensed firearms)?

Sorry pal, I *know* cops, and that means I damnsure don't want to be on
that list!

I am thinking of getting a new handheld scanner to play with (grin), but
am having a little difficulty deciding what is the best choice.

Looking through Monitoring Times, I see an ad for Grove Enterprises
listing the AR-8000, which I have heard mentioned several times in
passing as a great handheld unit. However, before plunking down my
hard-earned $600.00 to Grove, I'd like to get a little "real-world"
feedback about this and any other handheld scanners that might be worth
looking in to.

Can anyone tell me their personal experience with this unit? Likes,
dislikes, gripes, etc? I am currently using a BC200XLT which, although
is is somewhat limited in it's abilities, has served me well for the
past couple years. A few of my biggest complaints about the BC200XLT are
the poor intermod filtering (especially in the UHF bands) and what I
feel is a rather poor 800mhz sensitivity (I owned an old Radio Shack
PRO-37 that seemed to receive the 800mhz band much better when placed
side by side).

A few things I am especially interested in having in a new scanner are
*loud*, clear audio output, a fairly compact and well-built casing (I
actually like the design of the BC200XLT as far as size and shape are
concerned) and, if at all possible, I would like to have CTCSS decoding
built in (anyone know anything about the Relm HS200? It is reported to
have CTCSS!)

Any information, comments, etc., on the AR-8000 or any other recommended
handheld scanner would be greatly appreciated!

Please copy responces to me in email at [e-mail].

Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a nice handheld frequency counter? I just saw an

with some decent features. Any comments, recommendations, etc?

Is the 2046 a mobile version of the 2040, also a Uniden?  I have a Pro2040.
I haven't seen any mods available for the 2040, but would  BC760XLT mods
work in it?  I think what I need is a mod.  I need to isolate and retrieve
the discriminator signal.  I want to try out the MDT application that was
posted a few days ago.

  oddd you mention that.  I was told that Motorola _bought Uniden_  As
such there cannot be a motorola lawsuit, as Uniden supposedly is now part
of Motorola.

I have never heard anything though verifying this.

Uniden people?  Is it true?

A friend of mine is looking for an economical desktop scanner with 100
channels or more. Must have 800 band. He bought the 2026 but will not be
going mobile. Should he keep it and buy the adapters plus the antenna or
would he be better off buying something else? Doesn't need the 400 channel
models.

Thanks,

I suspect someone with a transmitter was re-broadcasting an X-rated
cellular phone call on the police repeater.  It wouldn't be the first
time this has happened elsewhere.

Howdy,

I'm considering purchasing a Uniden BC9000 scanner.  I would like to
hear from anyone who owns one and if they would recommend it - despite
the fact it is lacking cellular coverage.  Also, if there are other
scanners that I should consider please let me know.

I prefer base/mobile type units with wide-band coverage (at least
25MHz-1.3GHz).

I'm not big into cellular monitoring and have other means of rx cellular
if the desire strikes me.

Motorola rotates the control channel to even out the wear and tear on
the transmitters.  It has nothing to do with scanner listeners.

Not all SMR networks have a control channel.  Some are controlled
dynamically and operate only when a mobile unit makes a request to
transmit.  Others (like Uniden) have a distributed control system that
mainly resides in the mobile units rather than at a base location.

Another slight inaccuracy here.  The systems that are notorious for
"anti-scanner" noises are made by GE, not Motorola.

But you posted here.  (?)

I put my name on the list.  If they want you they'll get with or
without your name on that list.  There are a number of other ways to
find out who owns a scanner.

You lessen the chance of having that happen by being more visible.

I'm curious. What happens in an emergency situation? My area only has
one trunked system, and it isn't real active. In the main metropolitan
area, quite often on police bands, they go <code 22> and have
restricted traffic. How does this work on a trunked system? Can they
just hold one frequency open, reserved, by transmitting a carrier or
something?

        I just bought an Icom 706. I have seen the "yellow-wire" mod,
and I have also seen the removal of capacitors in the VHF high-band
filter to improve the receiver sensitivity in the VHF high-band,
outside of the 2 meter filter. Which mod works better to improve the
coverage between 148 and 170 mHz? I am not interested in transmit
capability in this range, but I would like to use the 706's
capabilities to receive some of the local government in my area.
        Any information and experiences regarding modifications to the
706 that you can share will be greatly appreciated.

Please respond via e-mail ([e-mail]), due to an increasing
load on the news server on my ISP.

Thanks in advance!!

Hi George,

I don't know the solution to your problem but I thought I'd
let you know I have experienced this problem with a TV remote
control and a english/spanish translator.  I worry about this
happening to my Pro-51.

On the back of the rubber membrain keypad there are some contacts
embeded in the keys (the back side of the keys).  These are coated
with something that shorts out the curcuit board when depressed.  I
discovered this when I put a test meter to the contacts.  When the
coating wears off it's dead.

> Anyone have suggestions?
>(I know I can take it to RS for repair, but I'd like to try it
>myself).  Any ideas?

You can try to order a replacement keypad and install it yourself
but it might be tough to get in to do that. (not knowing your radio)

You could let RS service it.  That might be expensive.  They might
not have the part anymore.  Who know.

Maybe someone could give both of us a clue as to what the contacts
are coated with!?!?!?!

Good luck,

Kelly

  Hey Scott,
  I would say that an upgrade to your antenna will be THE most
important thing you can do to improve your performance. I ditched
my rubber-duck off the pro-43 and opted for a simple telescoping,
3-length antenna from cheapo RS, and it works great!
  Outdoor antenna on the roof works great to but then the mobility
factor comes into play...
 Good luck.

  Just thought I'd offer a story...

  Thanksgiving week I had my parents in town for 10 days. I live
in Portland and it was doing the usual rainy thing when one night
we had a power outage right after dinner. I whipped out the candles
and we spent some time (60-90 minutes) in the dark. I then pulled out
the PRO-43 and handed it to Dad. We were listening directly to the
power crews working on the re-routing of the lines. I was thinking to
myself that it sure beat the hell out of waiting for AM radio reports.
  This also allowed me to plan whether to start the fireplace or just
wait 'til they fixed it; great to have the information fast and easy.

  Happy new scanning Year!

Hello,
I have a Advisor Gold pager made by Motorola.
Does anyone know how to put it into test mode if it has one?

YES. And the Mir station, and a few meteosats. The military antennas are
not necessarily built because the are state or the art, but for one prime
reason. They are TOUGH.   The blade antennas (I forget the Collins p/n)
are used by the military for 30-50MHz, this does not mean they are good.
They are built with low maintenance in mind.

These antennas have a "gain" of -10dB at 30MHz. They are the result of a
number of considerations, wind loading, real estate, strength etc. Most
of the UHF antennas have a gain of unity. You might also consider the
radiation pattern, some are designed for top mounting, some for bottom
mounting. If you are in an aircraft, where are all the stations you wish
to contact?

I have used these antennas for other than their designed purpose on EMS
helicopters. \they work alright but You can do better.

Yes, there is a Los Angeles County Sheriff's station in Altadena.

It is a sub-station of the Crescenta Valley Regional Station in La
Crescenta. They are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any calls for
service are automaticly routed to the CV (Crescebta Valley) station and
are handeled from there.

The patrol units for these stations are 70 througt 79

70 is the CV admin units eg:
        70D is the desk
        70C is the station commander ( C for captain )
        70J is the jailer
        70S is the field sargent

71 to 75 are the Altadena patrol units

76 to 78 are the CV patrol units

79 is the Altadena admin units
        79L is the sub-station commander ( L for LT. )

The dispatch frequencies (DISPATCH 1) are:
        Input   486.9875        Output  483.9875


"Car to car"
        L TAC 8 483.8625

Area wide tactical channels "A TAC"

        A TAC 1 483.0875
        A TAC 2 483.1625
        A TAC 3 483.0125
        A TAC 4 484.1125

County wide tactical channels "C TAC"

        C TAC 1 482.8125
        C TAC 2 482.8375
        C TAC 3 483.0625

IMHO an excellent book for LA County is Southern California Scan Fan
from
        ScanFan Publications, San Marcos, CA

Hope the above info helps

Richard

Does anyone know if Radio Shack's scanners can be modified for full

Pro-70
Pro-2044
Pro-2037 (I think)

I have an old 3000 and had the same PLL errors. It was due to a firmware
bug. I returned the unit to AOR in Derbyshire, who replace the
offending PROM with the latest version for a nominal fee.
Since then I've never noticed a PLL error.

I've also read an article in Short Wave magazine from AOR stating that
the small on board battery starts to run down after about five years,
(this is soldered onto the main board and looks like a small coin) which
again will result in sporadic errors.

Looks like the 3000 is due for a service!

Dave Cripps

Eric,
   The AR8000 is a very nice scanner. The cream of the crop...and
it should be for $600. You might also consider the BC3000 which
sells for $350 - $400.
   The AR800 has more channels, more search limits, 2 VFOs, an
S-meter and alpha-tagging. But all these features come at a price.
The manual is 120+ pages! Some keys serve four different functions
depending on when they are used and in conjunction with the
function key. It's quite a different beast from the Uniden radios.
You'll have to decide if you want to spend the extra $200 - $250.
   If you really want CTCSS/DCS you'll have to get BC9000, BC890,
Pro-2045 or RELM HS200. All but the RELM are base/mobile units.
The HS200 is really a different class of radio and uses double-
conversion circuitry compared to the BC3000 and AR8000 which are
triple. If you want more info on the HS200, search DejaNews; I
posted a lengthy review of this radio just a few days ago.
   Good luck in your decision!

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

Stephen,
   The two radios you mention are really in two different
categories. The MVT-7100 is more of a communications reveiver
while the Pro-26 is a true scanner. The better bargain for
most people will be the Pro-26 which has many more features
and costs less($350 to $450+).
   The 7100 is a better receiver and has unrestricted
coverage from HF to well about 1GHz. It has 1000 channels
but only 10 banks(which means 100 channels per bank - not
very managable). It's an excellent radio but is better as
a second or third addition.
   The 26 has 200 channels and 10 banks and auto-store. It
covers 25MHz to 1.3GHz. You might also consider the BC3000.
Both are made by Uniden. Basically, the 3000 has 400 channels,
deletes 520-760MHz coverage, is quite a bit larger, uses
a ni-cad(as oppossed to AAs) and has louder and clear audio.
Other than that, they're practically identical.

Strong signals,
Rich Wells

If you need to rejuvenate your scanner or remote control keypad, you
might consider Loctite Rear Window Defogger Repair Kit.  It has a
conductive resin that can be painted on the worn buttons.

The AR800 is very good, but not too user friendly, and there are rumours that
is loaded
with image reception problems.

The general concencious is that the Yupiteru 7100 is a much better buy, and as
 a
satisfied user (and radio comms eng) I would have to agree.

If you get a copy of "Radio Tech Modifications" 9A, it is included.
Make sure the unit was produced before 4/94, and that the serial number
is less than 4500.

The book is available from grove, EEB or elsewhere for $19.95.  It
involves removing a resistor, but unfortunately you need the picture to
find the resistor.  Unfortunately, it was difficult to get to the
resistor.

I don't know 900mhz freqs but if you scan from 46.000 to 47.000mhz you
will pick up both sides of the non 900mhz cordless phones. They are all

The BC3000XLT and PRO26 differ significantly.

The BC3000XLT has better image rejection than the PRO-26,
especially on the VHF-high band.

The PRO-26 wastes time scanning empty channels (programmed with 0.000).
The BC3000XLT tells you if a given frequency is already programmed
in memory, but the PRO-26 does not.

I would be thankful if someone could post the frequencies for the new

Who said anything about Collins Antennas at 30-50 Mhz...
These are made by ECI and they function at 225-400 MHZ with a gain of 1.5 db.

They are omni directional and I have seen the same antenna mounted on top and
on bottom of aircraft
fuselages.

I am done defending all these attacks, and WILL NOT respond anymore.  You are
all probably glad.
This has been such a frustrating endeavor I will never sell anything or respon
d to this newsgroup  again.

I'm sure there is a good reason that more expensive scanners have more
comprehensive frequency coverage than the cheaper models, but I'm
curious to know just why this is so.

With the older receivers crystals were used to tune in specific
frequencies, but with new models this is not the case.  I'm obviously
unclear as to how those frequencies are received and why it costs more
to get more.

Anyone who can shed light on this question has my thanks.

I too have a pro 39 and it's getting very hard to press several buttons
on the keypad.  I thought this was bad contacts and that all I'd need to
do would be to take it apart and clean it, but from what you are saying,
the entire keypad has to be REPLACED??

    You can find good deals at most WALMART stores....they carry
    scanners and have some great deals....check it out.

   Also, DAMARK...catalogue house, ask 800 info for their number.

    ask to be put on catalogue mailing list...they always have
     scanners for sale at good low prices which they find to
     put in ...  have seen 100 channel with 800 for 149 at times.

     Or don't forget Grove Enterprises and SCanner World....800 numbers
     from 800 info.....

     First get their catalogues and then decide what you think is
     best for you...right now you are being a bit "hyped up" as to
     what is out there for what you want to pay....

     are you doing this for "the fun of it?" or do you plan on making
     money with it chasing ambulances with camera in hand?

Hi!

I currently have a Sportcat 150 and am looking to get something better.
I don't want to buy something that will be outdated and not meet my
needs after a few years.  I haven't really started to look around yet
and would like some recommendations.  I'm sure everyone has their own
opinion on what is the best and I would like to hear them!

Thanks in advance!

Andrew

I got a new scanner for Christmas, and I've been picking up local
cordless all the way from 43.100 up to 49.970MHz. They're supposed to
be between 46-47MHz, but these other freq's are not harmonics--it's the
actual signal.

As there is a lot of talk about trunking Ill give all you all a bit
of info on scanning/trunking in Australia.  I think were very lucky here!


- There are NO laws except that it is illegal to listen to phone calls
  however scanners still cover the band.  Ive heard a few others like not
  repeating what is heard but these are not confirmed.


- Our police throughout the major cities all use a conventional system
  which is very good for scanner users.  So do our ambulance, fire etc etc.
  DVP is used on a few channels and that is rare.

- Here we have Motorola trunking 800mhz but this mainly has business users.
  So we dont have to deal with trunking problems yet.


- We also dont have a big range of scanners.  We have the usuals like
  Uniden 120,220,3000,9000 and Tandy range and AOR 1500,1000,8000 but thats
  about it. (Except for special comms stores) Ive never heard of units
  like 890xlt, 135xlt etc etc etc.


I hope the above information gives an insight into scanning in
Australia. The above is brief but that is really it.  What more can I say
except switch on and listen!

I have the following cable assemblies for sale.  All have BNC
connectors on both ends.  Cable is Belden 9248 which is an RG-6/U type
coax with a dual shield and an impedance of about 75 ohms.  These appear
to be pulls from a video or Local Area Network and seem to be in very
good physical condition.  Cables are DC tested but not RF tested.  Would
make a good VHF/UHF antenna lead in.  Belden 9248 specs. are about 5 db
loss at 450 mhz per 100 ft., I think (may want to check yourself and
confirm).

   Prices are for pick-up/delivery in the Greater Sacramento area.  Add
UPS from zip 95608 for other areas.

       Qnty.          Length           Price

         1             53 ft.           $15.00
         1             48 ft.           $12.00

True, most anti-scanner noises do come from GE, on the Columbus system
there are occasional, and horrid, noises emmitted.  They sound like
baboon doing the scales (slight exageration--just a noise getting higher
in pitch), all the while getting louder and louder.  Then it stops.
Then it goes to another frequency.  I've only heard this during the
day (peak hours), and it is really annoying.

I have a scanner antenna now and would like to also add a scanner beam. My
question is can I (using a T connector) use both antenna at the same time
without having to use a switch box? I have the connector to attatch 2 antenna
to
1 radio but was wondering if this would recieve properly. Any suggestions woul
d
be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Anyone know where I can find shareware that will let me decode the
commercial digital modes with a Hamcom interface or soundcard?
The packet and SSTV programs I've used with Hamcom are quite good
and I'm hoping this application has spilled over to the sound card
users as well.
Thanks and 73,  Mike  N0QBH

O.K., so where's the hype?  You would think with spring just a few weeks
away, the specs would already be out.  It will be great if it happens!

Hi

I think you may be a little confused about what a CTCSS tone actually is. If t
he radio is set up correctly you should not be able to hear the CTCSS tones be
ing transmitted. They are supposed to be SUB AUDIBLE. They are most useful whe
n one or more users are sharing a base station site and don't want to hear eac
h others communications, not so much for privacy but for the shear annoyance o
f hearing someone else.  A scanner will pick up all the users on a communal ba
se regardless of the CTCSS tones, however i
f you want to only monitor ONE of those users on the base site and you know th
eir CTCSS tone then you can program your scanner to only let you hear the reco
vered audio when that SUB AUDIBLE tone is being received by the scanner as wel
l.

Hope that helps

Michael

$12.95

An excellent value.

Same thread.  No I do not.  Trying to get people away for an over-priced
guide that is hurting the hobby.  Price gouging is bad.  Police Call is
a better buy at $12.95.

Do you work for Scannermaster?  Police Call give you more for your
money.  Why pay $40 (way over-priced) when you can get Police Call for
only $12.95.

If enough people don't buy the Scannermaster guide, the price will come
back down to earth ($20-$25.)
