*SIGH* Okay, i'll admit it. Cesium does get around. Just last night i had a
hot steamy passionate erotic affair with her. Man CAN SHE SIZZLE!!
Especially when i showered with her. Sorry if any of you thought you had
something steady with her...she's just that kind of
"fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants" kinda gal. See ya,

Which is being conducted mainly in alt.food.dennys as well as actual dennys

appeal to all teh alt.cesium readers out there. Really. Very important.

No shit,....get this, about 2 years ago, I needed to order something VIA
mail order, and since my father would gladly pay for it, he told me that
when he got to work, he'd send me his credit card # via prodigy email
so thati can get the # and order the product later on... well.. about 
an hour or so later, i log in to check my mail, and there was a letter 
from them, telling me that the letter from him has been deleted due to its
'unkosher' content.... they friggen READ MY PRIVATE email...

that was the day we both dropped prodigy (and before my internet days)

Quite a response going on this one!!! I'd like to add that I've had a VHF
radio interfere with a AM VHF air coms radio while flying in a light plane. 
It was a birdie or image or harmonic or something on one channel.
  The last thing I want while being airborne is to have the pilot not be
to hear something!!! If I fly with radios, (which is in light planes, not
airlines), I run all the channels before take-off, and make sure that it
doesn't interfere with the airplanes comms radio!!!

The FTP site garfield.catt.ncsu.edu has a text file (compressed) that I

It is in the pub/alt.radio.scanner/MODS directory

It be transferred in an uncompressed format by simply omitting the 2 entension

Good luck...  I found after ordering a new DC power socket that it is NOT a
simple task to replace.  But there is a RS service Center in Hayward, If you
are brave enough - you might want to open the case and see if you can see the
extent of the damage; if it is only a componet part like the DC power socket I
would check to see if the had on at the service center, if not you might want
to order it before sending it in (mine to 2 months to come in).

Again Good Luck

I have used my scanner on aircraft many times. I always check with the captain
before takeoff. Two pilots were amazed at what it could pick and wanted to know
where they could buy one. The only restriction was that I keep it turned down
or use an earphone so as not to bother other passengers. One pilot gave me a
handwritten list of freqs. so I could follow the entire flight.

The bottom line: Show it to the captain before liftoff and if he says no, stow
it.

Put your 200xlt on a good quality, adjustable voltage DC power
supply set at 8 volts.  Use a decent voltmeter to monitor the supply
voltage.  *Gradually* decrease the voltage.  If the low battery
warning ckt activates above 6 volts, it is too conservative.

I repeat from another article that some of you may have not read:
These are for wrote from FCC part 97.11, amateur rules & regs.  This does
NOT apply to scanner owners, but is nevertheless a guide:

"The installation and operation of an amateur station on a ship or aircraft
must be approved by the master of the ship or pilot in command of the
aircraft.
The station must be separate from and independent of all other radio apparatus
installed on the ship or aircraft, except a common antenna may be shared
with a voluntary ship radio installation.  The station's transmissions must
interference to any other apparatus installed on the ship or aircraft.
 
The station must not constitute a hazard to the safety of life or property.
For a station aboard an aircraft, the apparatus shall not be operated while
the aircraft is operating under Instrument Flight Rules, as defined by the
FAA, unless the station has been found to comply with all applicable FAA
Rules."

Now, for more facts.  A good friend of mine flies corporate jets all over
the world for a major electronics company.  He's a ham.  He takes his
talkie on flights and TRANSMITS (ohmygod) from time to time.  Yes, he
says, if transmitting on the wrong frequency it IS possible (but highly
unlikely) that the transmitted signal could interfere with the I/F of some
equipment.  But, if power output is limited to 1/2 watt (all you need from
35,000 feet) then the chances of ANY interference are two:  slim and none.

More facts:   I openly carry my handie-talkie (which receives all the same
bands as a scanner, including 800 MHz) in airports all over the country. 
Never ONCE have I been stopped or questioned, but just in case, I always
make sure I have my ham license in my wallet.  For you non-hams, just
don't be too conspicuous and I doubt you'll have problems.

One final note:  This applies to airports in the USA only.  In other
countries, you may very likely get your precious radio confiscated if you
flash it around, in fact, you may not get it through customs if the agent
happens to single you out.
