   This is pretty much S.O.P. (oops, Standard Operating Procedure)
nationwide, due to past instances of females claiming that the arresting
officer (usually a male) drove off to some dark, deserted place & CSC'd
(Criminal Sexual Conduct -- rape) the arrestee.  The time & mileage
--recorded on the departments radio logs-- could show that the officer
didn't have the time nor the extra miles on the odometer to violate the
female.
 
   A problem with this is that as most scanner enthusiasts who have accurate
clocks know, most clocks in dispatch centers are off by at least 2 or 3
minutes.
 
   The 'he raped me!' syndrome doesn't occur as frequently as it did in the
60s & 70s, when most departments didn't handcuff women.  Back then, they'd
rip their own blouses as 'evidence' after being put in the patrol car.

I have received MANY mail requests for the modification I mentioned 
in this group for the PRO-2021.  Unfortunately I didn't look to see
if I still had the file before offering to pass it along.  After much
digging thru paper files and greping around on both this system and
my PC at home I had come to the conclusion that there was no hardcopy
and I had nuked the file somewhere along the line.  About the only thing
left to do was go search around on GEnie and some other online services
and see if I could come up with it.  Well behold and low, while looking
for something else today at work I ran across a copy of it in my SideKick
note files.  Rather than try to email it to every one who requested it
I'm just going to post it here.  Please note that the message is for a 
mod to the PRO-32 but in the text gives details for both PRO-32 & PRO-2021.

The PRO-32 is a GREAT little hand-held scanner, but like it's brother the
PRO-2021, it suffers from the same SSSSLLLLOOOWWWW scaanning rate!  Bob Grove
had an article a few months back on a mod to fix this!  Well, since they are
twin rigs, I consulted ye old service manual....Seems the ONLY 39K resistor is
between pins 49 & 50 on IC-1, but it is called R-50, not R147, as on the 2021.
A quick check of the service manual shows the same chip and same resistor in
both rigs.  So, change R50 on the logic board to a 15K ohm resistor, and you
will INCREASE the scan rate of the scanner by about 3-5 chs per sec!  NOW, you
can go through the 200 channels in a respectable amount of time!

Well there you have it.  I haven't done either of my PRO-2021s yet but I'm
going to do it "REAL SOON NOW". :-)  Right after I get some new antennas up
and the packet controler back on the air and the tower worked on and. . . . .
Let me know if anyone trys this out and how it works for you.  And thanks to

I have seen those same antennas on the State Police cars in Mass. I believe they are for location finding
equipment, specifically for stolen vehicles containing lo-jack transmitters. This is an alarm system you
purchase and have installed in your vehicle, when and if your car gets stolen you call the PD give them
some identification number, they turn on the xmitter and then track down your car with location finding 
equipment, hence the four antennas.

I'm finding I'm using my scanning radio less and less as time goes on,
and have decided to sell it.  It is an AR900 programable scanner that
is about as small as I can imagine a 100 channel scanner to be.  In
addition to fm has am for aircraft.  Picks up the cellular channels
with no modification.  $200 and I'll pick up the postage to anywhere
in the U.S.

Contact me for more information.

I was under the imperession that it is against FAA regs to use
any kind of radio equipment on a commercial plane.  That may
be wrong, but I do know that I got a stern warning when I tried to use
my scanner on a Northwest flight once.  I've heard similar stories from
other people.  Maybe someone here knows what the exact policies are.

AS far as I know there is no way to select which mode will be active when
you power up.  The instructions say it is random. I have the 1000XLT and
mine will allmost always come up in the mode I was using when I shut
the unit off, if I was in that mode for several min.   

differences:  The AR1000 XC (or XLT, they are the same unit) covers
.5 - 1300 Mhz.  I think the 1000 has a little smaller range.

Hey! What's wrong with posting that you have a scanner for sale in a
scanner newsgroup? Has some net.schoolmarm ruled against it?

And another thing, it's perfectly fine to post frequency lists, IMHO,
if you'll just restrict the distribution to the area where people will
giva a damn about them.

Can`t alt.radio.scanner simply be changed to a "pointer" to rec.radio.scanner,
if it gets created?  or it could be made a moderated group feeding directly
into rec.r.s if all else fails

I feel that having this in the alt hierarchy makes for less serious discussion

Well in Europe I have had some interesting experiences (!) 
 
British Airways from Birmingham UK to Brussels had the batts removed and 
placed in a special screened bag before putting it with the stewardesses. 
Swissair Zurich didn't care.  British Midland ditto.

I believe there either was a vote or was a suggestion to conduct a vote to
create rec.radio.scanner, or somesuch, and it either failed or was predicted
to fail because people wanted to keep scanner traffic in rec.radio.shortwave
so they wouldn't have to read two groups on the same topic.  This makes sense,
BUT the ...radio.scanner group attracts posts from people who might not post
in rec.radio.shortwave.  I still think rec.radio.scanner would be a good idea,
and would make more sense in the hierarchy, but that would make three groups
likely to contain scanner traffic, since alt groups never really die...

   The `3 digit codes` are what California (most agencies) use to 
explain what kind of call it is. The 3 digit code is the statute in the
California criminal code. i.e. a 211 is a robery i think. so if you get A
copy of the california crim. code and look up staute 211 it is the the
law defining a robery.
