I will be heading up to Indianapolis 500 shortly and would like
to be able to listen in to the crews, drivers, ASAC officials, etc.
during the race.

Could someone mail me (or post) a list of know frequencies for 
Indycar communication channels?

Esp the Rahal-Hogan team and Penske.

  On some of the police cars around here, they have an array of four antennas
arranged in a square mounted on the roof. Does anyone have an idea as to what
this is for ? Since they all seem to be of equal length, I thought that perhaps
is a doppler array(?) for finding transmitters, or perhaps they are for 
different channels. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

On TV I often hear a police dispatcher say "...two-eleven in progress...",
I most recently heard this on Mann and Machine and I believe I heard 
similair calls on T. J. Hooker...

Are their police departments that actually use these three digit codes/signals?
All the police departments I have monitored have singals, like signal 41I
to indicate the type of call a unit is being dispatched to.

To quote from the relevant portion of the ECPA of 1986:

 
(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter [18 USC ss
2510 et seq.] any person who
 
(a) intentionally intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other
person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic
communication;
 
(b) intentionally uses, endeavors to use, or procures any other person to
use or endeavor to use any electronic, mechanical, or other device to
intercept any oral communication when
  
(end quote)

Please note that cellular phone calls are considered electronic
communication.  I'll repost the entire portions ECPA relevant to monitoring
if there's interest.  It's never been tested in court, of course... :-)

 Doug:

  Check out rec.radio.shortwave - it does contain shortwave related details.
 But it also covers scanners and the like. In general its a radio group for
 those who prefer to monitor vs transmit (IE: non-ham related subjects). As
 for pros involved, I guess it depends on your Webster what the make up of
 a pro is. However you will find a few folks that can fit that mold hanging

Actually, a lot of police officers are carrying cell phones nowadays.  It's
a hassle to have to stop and find a payphone sometimes.  Especially if you're
out on surveyillance or in a remote area with no pay phone around.

I don't monitor cell phones because it's illegal, but I would imagine that
you could hear some quite sensitive conversations from these folks.  The savvy
officer (of which there are few) will caution another officer to not use 
his cell phone for really sensitive calls.  Most believe that they can't be
monitored by the people they are interested in.

The city police here have gone to the CVSD scambled system so it's moot 
anyway.....

There should be no problem in bringing it on board.  If it is turned off,
it won't interfere with anything.  Just make sure you have working batteries
in it when you bring it thru security, since they will want to hear it make
some noise to prove it is a radio.  I usually just tune in the local weather
station when carrying my HT aboard a plane.  Just remember not to turn it
on during while on board the plane.

Hi!

   I got a problem with my PRO-34.   One of my friend unlock it for receiving the cellular band.

One month ago, i got a real problem with my antenna, so i bring back my PRO34 to my RS dealer.

Went i receive it after the repair, they locked my cellular band.

They add a new capacitor, and a new resistor.

But my friend remember that there are no capacitor, and he was sure that they
change the resistor too ( the resistor that was plug on the socker that hold the antenna.

Can someone open his/her PRO34 and tell me ( 1- the stripe color or if they know the OHMS law, the number ).

Or if someone suspect some other modification by RS.

Thank you very much,

Not only that, but you're not allowed to transmit ANY material
intended for comsumption by the general public.  It must be related
to amateur radio and may not be a re-broadcast of programming from
other radio services.  In short, broadcasting in the amateur radio
services is prohibited.

It was the "Sports Illustrated Bathing Suit Issue Show", and was pretty

Apparently the new QSL has Kathy Ireland on it, so this will be a real

Mail drop was: He-Man Radio; PO Box 109; Blue Ridge Summit PA 17214.

Someone was QRM-ing towards the end with calls of "Hello Radio".  Anyone

Sailing outside international waters can work but The Government(tm) ever

where international waters are. That can make quite a difference

There is a radio station called Radio Med that operates in the FM broadcast
band, apparently from a ship at sea in the Med somewhere.  The signal is
easy to receive from the coast of Greece, Turkey, Israel, and Egypt, and is
particularly popular in the middle east.  Programming is a mix of US, middle
eastern, and north African pop.

Since this station never gives a proper ID, I assume that it's a pirate, but
it's very slick and commercial sounding.  Does anyone know any more about
this station?  I don't remember the frequency they were using.

I don't know if the FCC actually has much RDF capability of its own.
My bet is that they have friends in the Navy.  I was a Cryptologic
Tech., Radio-Branch, and was qualified on most of the Navy's *big*
DF gear for medium and high frequency bands.  I used to man those
1/8-mile dia. circular arrays you might find in the middle of your
local swamp (eg. Chesapeak, VA, Skaggs Isl., CA, Homestead, FL,
and Okinawa, Japan [which isn't a swamp]).

When a 'target' is announced (over global comm-link) to operators,
anyone who can hear it will give a line-of-bearing (LOB) along with
a subjective measure of the accuracy of that LOB.  I've personally
observed that even a mere 3-LOB 'fix' 200 miles off-shore can have
an accuracy of as good as +/-0.5 nautical miles.  And now, since the
"War on Drugs" has gone public, it shouldn't be any surprise that
the frequency I observed this on was in the marine band...

Mobile:  "Uh...  I think, two large and five extra-large."
Shore:   "Ok.  What time?"
Mobile:  "Uh...  Four looks good.  Same place."
Shore:   "10-4.  See ya then."

(They're a cordial bunch, it would seem... but *STUPID*!)
