George was in Dallas a month or so and I tried to listen on the secret service
freqs listed in Knietel's Top Secret Registry.  All I got was white noise (but
enough carrier that I couldn't squelch it out).  I assume that they have gone
to DES encryption.  

I did hear a call in the clear to Air Force One describing a phone patch they
were setting up to Mrs xxxxx at some phone number.  I was tempted to call the
phone number and ask how the conversation went but I have too much work to get
done to be in jail (grin).

Note, I am a good 20 miles from where George was staying so all I could hear
was the powerful stuff (probably repeater outputs).

I suspect rather strongly that they may be using spread-spectrum and/or
some other scrambling methods, and they might not have been in the high band
at all. If they were using SS up in the UHF realm, then you'd be lucky if you
noticed an increase in background noise here and there. In all likelihood,
you would have been unable to catch anything. Some of the new digital
scramblers operate on conventional channels, but they are going to be as
difficult to crack as well. Who knows - they may be using some 800/900 MHz
frequency-hopping stuff now, too. Remember, the bad guys might want to
listen, too, so the Secret Service is pretty careful these days.

The initial message said he was using one of the POWER adapters (multi-voltage)
that R/S sells... These do NOT work as nicad chargers.  The CHARGING adapters
have higher voltages (say, a "9 volt" might ACTUALLY be 10.5 volts) so that,
in tandem with the dropping resistor in the radio's charge circuit, the charge
current will be "correct".  The power adapters (9.5 volts, on mine) give only
about 35 ma of charging current -- 24-26 HOURS to charge 650 maH R/S nicads!

Subject: Zener diode in EARLY 200XLT scanners fibs about low battery
Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville, IL
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1992 12:53:41 GMT
Keywords: low battery indicator, modification


There really is no "mod" to increase battery life for *all* 200XLT
scanners.  Truth be told, the Zener diode D203 in many *EARLY* Uniden
200XLT scanners is out of tolerance.

You should experiment with your own 200XLT to determine if a change
is really warranted.

Here's the segment of interest from a series of 1988-9 articles
in the RCMA Journal and The Radio Enthusiast:


                   200XLT Low Battery Indicator

                       by Bob Parnass, AJ9S

  As presented in Parts 1 and 2, the 200XLT low battery  indi-
  cator  begins to flash when battery voltage decreases to 7.2
  volts or less.  This starts a 10  minute  timer  within  the
  200XLT.   After the low battery indicator has flashed for 10
  minutes, the 200XLT display blanks, and the radio  continues
  to draw significant current.

  The low battery indicator  was  too  conservative  in  three
  200XLTs  examined.   Owners  have  been known to get up to 2
  hours more use from the NiCd battery pack after the low bat-
  tery indicator begins to flash.

  The 7.2 volt threshold measured in 200XLTs is almost out  of
  range.   The 200XLT Service Information Manual specifies the
  low battery threshold should be 6.9 volts nominal,  with  an
  acceptable range of between 6.5 and 7.2 volts.

  Zener diode D203, type HZK3CLL01TR,  a  surface  mount  com-
  ponent  located  on the Micom (microcomputer) circuit board,
  determines the low battery detection threshold.

  There are a few ways to fix the 200XLT low battery circuit:

    1.  The threshold could be reduced  if  D203  were  to  be
        replaced with a zener diode of lower voltage.

    2.  The low battery circuit could be  bypassed  completely
        using one of two methods:

           o by removing D203, and  connecting  the  input  of
             regulator  IC204 to the output of IC208, a 5 volt
             regulator, or

           o by removing R208, and replacing D203 by a  jumper
             wire.

        The only drawback I could see is  that  defeating  the
        low  battery  circuit might cause memory loss when the
        battery voltage becomes too low, because the microcom-
        puter doesn't detect the low voltage soon enough.

	I just discovered this problem myself, so I did a little investigation.
It seems that the adapter that we are both using is just fine to start the
charging or run the radio, but it is not quite robust enough to do a complete
charge of the battreies. I measured the current flowing into the battery itself
with the charger plugged in after about 8 hours of charge (I will do more next
time it needs charging) and the charge rate was only 5 ma!!!!!! Not the 45-50
ma that 1/10 C calls for. I didn't try using an external supply to see how much
voltage the input needs to get the right charge rate, but the available (but
not good enough) adapter is right at the 9V point at the input to the radio.

	I guess we will need to get "The real thing" when it becomes available.
It isn't yet up here in Mass either.

Well, I don't have the info here in hell, I mean Texas, :-) 
but I believe it was in an old issue of PopComm (ca. '89). 
Actually, I forgot to mention that it has also been modified to 
have 400 chs.  If I recall correctly, both of these mods involved 
simply removing or adding a diode, similar to the freq mod.

Basically, the features were built in to the 2004 and then added 
later to create new models.  Thanks Tandy!!

I recently purchased a Uniden 100xlt scanner (and am very pleased with it).

While strolling through the mall the other day, I stopped at Radio Shack.
They had a 100-channel scanner running by the check-out counter.  I forget
the model number but, with the exception of the Radio Shack logos, it
looked EXACTLY like my Uniden.  Looking over the specs in the catalog, I
found that it covers the same bands and has no additional features. 
Does Uniden manufacture scanners for Radio Shack?

The claimed "low-low discount price" was $30.00 more than what I payed for
my Uniden at Amateur Electronic Supply here in Milwaukee.  Are all of Radio
Shack scanner owners paying these ridiculous prices??
