Not yet, Mark...  I'm still looking for a good deal on either an IDE CD-ROM,
or a SCSI CD-ROM/Card for my second node (/5), as I don't think there is an
OS/2 version of the door program that I could use on the main node where I
have two drives available.
Next time you're on the authors I-site, ask him if he'd be willing to port
the door to OS/2 for use with Warp...  ?!
We're 'off topic' here so we'd better take this to another echo - like HAM

bring them to any Airline Air Cargo Facility, and most will be able to

user: You are replying to Matt Walker about "Bearcat Scanner-something similar??".

Write your reply.

assistant: Dear Matt, I have a pro-2026 Realistic Scanner that has been modified for
cellular. One thing to realize though, monitoring cell is ILLEGAL at present,
and since most of the newer ones are digital scramble types, all you'll get
on most is white noise. HOWEVER, the part that makes the mod legal, is that
many of the new police 800-900 band radios overlap the cell phone freqs. What
we are supposed to do , I guess is once we figure out that it's a phone call
and not a public service call, we are supposed to hit the scan button or
change the channel. Also, another problem with the new 800 band PD radios:
instead of changing channels and talking to another unit, they change PL
tones. this means that as soon as the carrier drops on say 805.9950, and then
the same cars start talking again, they may be on 860.4625, their PL tone is
the same, so every other "authorized listener" made the change with them. But
you're still listening to 805.9950, so you hear Jose telling Miranda to put
the pallet on the back dock, and that he'll be there in twenty minutes, then
after the carrier drops, you'll hear Jimmy telling his construction crew
"It's Miller (or other brand) time".  We need to have someone come up with a
pl based scanner, that would follow a certain agency's operations. But back
to the original reason for reply:
    Mine is 100 channels, and covers 25 mhz-52 mhz 108-174 402.000 to 512 and
800.000 to 990.9950 staright through with no blocks. I sekk $145.00 shipped
with original box and manuals. Unit still sells at rat-shack for $249.95.

 The antenna is about 37" (as I recall).  It worked nicely when I used it a
while back.  Since it's tuned by adjusting the length of the feedline, I
assume it to be capable of working 10 meters.  Shipping probably wouldn't run
more than $5 or so...  Give a call if you're interested.
