Why does my RadioShack scanner pick up the same transmission on a different frequency from the frequency I receive on a superheterodyne or dual-conversion scanner? My scanner hangs up on a particular frequency however, the problem goes away when I remove the antenna. How do I tell if my scanner uses dual or triple conversion? What is meant by the "step-rate" of a scanner? How do I enter a 7-digit frequency when the scanner only takes 6 digits? Typical and Primary Band Usage, and Specified Intervalsĭo you have scanner frequency lists available? What accessories are available to improve my scanning?Ī broadcaster in my area now uses a digital system. What different types of scanners are available? What is a scanner and why would I want / need one?

DUAL TRUNKING SCANNER PRO 94 PLUS
Plus if you get bored of airband unlike some other scanners such as Sportys you can always have fun with trunked civil and private use UHF channels and all the other radio bands bands. Radioshack models are pretty good and last I remember they were on sale for a decent price. Get a cheap set of NIMH rechargables if you go portable, it will save you a lot of money.
DUAL TRUNKING SCANNER PRO 94 PORTABLE
Plus if you wanted to go portable away from the house, a handheld is much more convienent. On my PRO-95 I got away with using an old AC adapter that had the same plug that put out 6V max. It says 9V on the side but you can make do with something around 6-9V. You can get a simple A/C adapter plug for the wall. You don't need to depend on a supply of batteries with the PRO-94. I think they have a PRO-96 with digital trunking that is even better than the PRO-95. The only difference I think is that the PRO-95 had more dual trunking channels, 1000. I was temporarily providing the PHNL feed with a PRO-95 which I think was one step up from the PRO-94. If I were still doing it today I don't know if I'd have the motivation to keep it all running. It can be a hastle, but I was only workin 20 or so hours a week, and when I wasn't working, I was near the computer/scanner so it wasn't too bad. If you're more than 3 miles, I'd say probably not.Īs for the battery situation, I think I remember changing out rechargables a couple times a day for a week or so last summer when I started up IND until I got an A/C adapter. Depending on how far you are from the airports, you may be fine with that scanner and the original antenna. Quality now on the feeds is pretty good, but it's easy to tell by listening that it could be better. Granted, it'd be better with an external antenna, but that's just not in my budget right now. I'm 3 miles north of IND and ZID, and I'm able to pick up both fairly well with that antenna. I don't have the original antenna as it was damaged over a year ago.but the one I use now is about the same quality.
