Title: Scanners
Post by: Josh on January 13, 2008, 12:52:34 AM
Just was wondering what scanners everyone uses and what freqs you all have.

I use a Radioshack Pro-97 and I have all TOA, LGB, LAX, and HHR freqs, along with Del Amo security, Torrance PD, Torrance FD, all SOCAL APP and DEPs, and all LA ARTCC freqs. Also have all demo team freqs for the shows and all California Fleet Area Control & Surveillance Facility (FACSFAC) freqs.

Like the one in this pic? It was either you or Glen that had the same one I did. Maybe even Rob too. Can't remember for sure.

It's worth buying the software and link cable for it. But programming it via the pad isn't as hard as it may seem. Radioshack has a great manual, most of which are available online.

Does the 800Mhz antenna from Radio Shack for $19.00 help at all over the stock one?

Phil,
Keith or Scott D might be able to help you.

The 800mhz one is amazing with me. Im picking up 363.000 which is Palmdale approach if im correct. Bought it just last week to replace the one that came with my pro-76. Works like a champ.
