I have a large quantity of Cellular Band Pass Filters available.  The pass
band is 860-900 MHz (easily passes the output frequency of the cell system).
These are ideal for use with outdoor antennas that bring in many unwanted
signals.  I have not yet measured the pass/reject attenuation, but if you
are interested, email and I'll test one.

The filters are manufactured by muRata-Erie and were originally intended
for use in the construction of cellular telephones.  They are 1.5 cm
square, 0.9 cm thick, and have a mounting flange on the bottom that
extends 0.5 cm away from the metal enclosure.  The input and output 
leads are each 0.5 cm long.  These are a 3 terminal, passive device.
They are also uni-directional (marked on case).  Although designed for
surface mount, you can solder coax directly to the device or bend the
leads 90 degrees and insert into a PC board.

I suppose they could be used with scanners to reduce desense from
unwanted signals by placing them in an RF tight case with BNC
connectors in and out.  This could then be attached to the antenna
port when desired, but of course it would be unnecessary since NOBODY
listens to those frequencies with a scanner.  But since these are
intended to go inside cellular telephones, I'll just assume anyone
interested is designing / mfg'ing cell fones!

Price is $4/ea. plus $1.50 to ship inside the US by US Mail. (I can
send about 6 of these for the $1.50; they're lightweight)  I'm selling
these because I have enough to last a lifetime, especially since I
don't listen between 860 and 900 MHz!  For info - reply by email.

i use a magnet mount cellular phone antenna on my truck.  works great for most
of the 800-900 range, better than radio shack's so called "all band mobile
scanner antenna" that is _supposed_ to cover the 800MHz range with some cheesy
3" section of antenna rod at the base of the antenna.  i let someone else have
it, and i run two seperate scanner antennas with much better results.

Organization: Sequent Computer Systems, Inc.

I just did the 'low battery' mod to my 200xlt, and started thinking
about how the low battery detection works and what the mod is doing...
I do not have the service manual or any schematics, but my guess is the
the diode you jumper is simply a zener, and as long as it is passing current,
the radio assumes the battery is OK. By jumpering, you bypass this circuit, and
the radio assumes the battery is ok until the voltage drops so far as to cause
the scanner to quit working.

Having said that, wouldn't a better 'fix' be to replace the existing zener
with a lower voltage on such that the radio shuts off somewhere around 6 volts?

Has any one done this? Does any one know the value of the factory zener?
Does anyone have the schematic or an understanding of the circuit?

Probably not. Normally in these "cheaper" scanners, the frequency coverage
is determined by the CPU programming during manufacture. A differently
programmed CPU is used for the US market than the one for the Pacific
market for example. You could replace the CPU sure, but then the RF and
mixer circuits need to be modified as well.

If you really need that low band coverage, you need to buy a scanner that
covers it standard. Something like a Realistic PRO-2006. Not cheap but
certainly worth the money, and they can be modified.

Utah comes to Texas to launch a BIG one!

The scientific/education balloon group from Utah State University
will arrive in Houston on Saturday January 9, 1993.  The group
from Logan, Utah, will be in town to launch a 50-lb payload using
a super-pressure nylon balloon (230,000 cu. ft.).  The mission
plans are to fly the package across the Gulf at 110,000 feet.
The group coordinator is Gil Moore N7YTK.  Launch is scheduled
for 7 AM on Monday January 10th from the League City South Shore
Harbor Resort and Convention Center.

The package carries several experimental payloads including a four-
channel UV ozone radiometer, an aircraft radar transponder (1130-
1190 MHz), temperature sensors and a GPS receiver.  Ham frequency
beacons include HF at 28.322 (250 mW by WB8ELK) and VHF at 144.28
and 144.30 MHz.  Packet telemetry will be sent on 145.75 MHz and
video from the on-board camera will be sent on 434 MHz.

Predictions currently call for 60-70 knot winds at 110,000 feet
from the west to the east.  Several stations in Florida are prepared
to send cut-down commands to the package.  The group from Utah has
been able to cut down payloads over Wyoming with 100 yard target
accuracy (GPS helps!).

HF nets will occur on one of three frequencies depending on the band
conditions.  Check 3858, 7258 and 14258 kHz the morning of the launch.
The Utah chase van (TX to FL) will use one of these frequencies and
the callsign W7LPH.

Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to see a BIG ham balloon go up!

The clerk was mistaken.  They are easily available from Tandy Electronics

call their toll free number and speak with the order clerk.  National

the back cover of the pocket _Store Reference Guide_.

   What is the catalog number of the service manual for the

You, as a customer, do not need to know this bit of trivia.  The NP
clerk will look it up.

   What is the price of the service manual?

Low, something like $5-$10.  Again, the NP clerk will look it up.

   The local Radio Shacks seem to hire the most obnoxious
   people they can. I would like to get this information so
   that I can tell them EXACTLY what I want.

If you have trouble with a "Sales Associate" (clerk) then speak with
the store manager.  If you have trouble with a store manager then
speak with the district manager.... and so on.  You'll eventually 
be speaking with someone that has a firm grasp of this fact:
Radio Shack exists to SERVE the CUSTOMER.  Absent that, there is
no niche for Radio Shack in the market place.  

Yes, I DO work for RS.  I can be found most weekends and some evenings 
during the week working part time at store 01-6358 in Center Line, MI.
We have developed quite a neighborhood business there.  Many of our 
regular customers were once the regular customers of our sales people 
at other stores.  When our folks moved from those other stores to the 
Center Line store, many of their customers followed them here.  I'm
sorry to hear of your local stores' problems.

Hi:

I'm a computer person more then I am a scanner person.  But, 
before I got into computers I was interested in SW.  Now I'm
looking for a scanner.  I realy don't know what is good, but
I know what I want...

Max price I can afford: $280.00 (new or used)

Needed features:
 * Continuous coverage
 * 200+ Channels
 * Frequency range: 29MHz - 900+MHz (1.3GHz would be nice)
 * The ability to modify the scanner to recieve 823.9875 - 
   849.0125 and 868.9875 - 894.0125 MHz.

I would like a handheld but, not if I have to opt for quality.
If anyone knows of such a product please let me know...  


Thanks for your time...

I am thinking about buying either a BC950 or BC750 scanner, they
both seem to be the same viewing the published specs I've seen.
The one major difference is price:

Average BC950XLT  $250.00            Average BC750XLT $270.00
           CTCSS    60.00                      CTCSS    60.00
          PreAmp    24.99                     PreAmp    30.00

Does anyone know what if any the difference is that would warrant a
$20 price difference ??

Grove's add for the 750XLT indicates an additional switch is needed
for the CTCSS module and charges $10 for it, yet nowhere else I have
seen this switch itemized as seperate, is this just a Grove rip off ?

The primary reason for purchasing one of these specific scanners
is the CTCSS, which leads me to my last question. Does anyone have
first hand knowledge that you can mix tone entries,in both the 
950 & 750, that is have one channel
with tone and another with no tone (squelch only) and be able to 
receive both. I have a BC600 with the CTCSS and it's either all tone
or all squelch, anything scanned in the tone mode without a tone
entered will not be received.

Does anyone know if scanners like the PRO-2004 and the PRO-2006 pass CTCSS
tones through their audio circuits?  The reason I am asking is I am looking
at purchasing a CTCSS tone decoder and want to use the audio out as the input
to the decoder.  If they don't, then I will have to connect to the discriminator
of the reciever.  This decoder will only display tones as they are recieved.
I do not need it to interface with the squelch circuit.  I am looking at the
CD-1 Communication Decoder from Connect Systems.  Any reviews on this one??

I remember the previous posts about the Radio Shack Portable TV/FM amplified
Antenna. I went ahead and bought one. It works quite good. I have a hand held
scanner (Icom R-1) and I live in a ground floor apartment. I am able to receive
cordless phone all the way up to the cellular bands much better. Making an
educated guess from S-meter comparisons, I'd say it has about a 6db gain. For a
person that lives in the same environment as me, I'd say it would be nice to
have for a hand held scanner. 

You do have to make an interface from 1/8 phono jack to BNC. all the parts to
do that are in RS.

There certainly is a mod to 'unlock' the cellular in the PRO 34. Simply clip 
D11 to restore full coverage. Note that this is only necessary with the US 
model, units sold in Australia for example don't have cellular locked out.

Thanks to the people who sent me the information. The site is garfield.catt.ncsu.edu

Good luck
