Changed my mind on the Yupi 7100...... was thinking about it, and if I am gonna bother to call up Javiation and ship something overseas, it might as well be a really fucking good deal. So now my sights are set on the AOR AR-8200..... it's about double the price of the 7100, but from what I understand, well worth it.... anyways, the 8200 can use plugin cards kinda like PCMCIA cards for laptops directly inside the scanner..... AOR offers plugin cards for a few different things, such as digital voice recording, CTCSS decoding. speech inversion, etc etc... Now i'm sure you know about/have used a motorola cell to follow cell conversations as they pass from cell to cell..... Works great, but it's a pain in the ass (not to mention that you have to manually scan for a convo in progress)... so I figure, why not get the 8200 and see if I could hack together some kinda plugin card or circuit that could decode the little data burst, translate that into a frequency, and then re-tune the receiver to the frequency where the convo hopped to? Also was considering something similar for POCSAG and MDT's.... except just having the receiver fixed on a frequency and displaying the decoded POCSAG/MDT data onto the 8200's more than ample screen.... I also considered trunking, but that would require the receiver to have 1 VFO tuned to the control channel (whose audio must be muted, yet passed to the trunking plugin card), and 1 VFO which would hop around as needed. Given that I'm far (financially) from getting the 8200 in the near future, I will only know if this is workable once I get the thing and screw with it for a while.. Hopefully with the new job (rat shack!! free shit!!) I'll pull in the bucks quick enough to pick up the 8200 soon enough...

Yeah, bases are more expen$ive, but worth it I'm willing to bet. The place to research 'em is two magazines, Popular Communications and Scanning Times, they're at the geeklier bookstores. There's a Bearcat trunking scanner I know, plus a few others too, made by other makers. I'll have to get one of these mags and report on my findings soon, as I'm really kind of interested in one, and not all of us have $5 for a fucking single issue of a magazine, so I'll pop the bux and get one.
Um, BTW that book sold at Rat Shak w/all the freqs is a "Betty Bearcat" which always makes my think of some overweight old broad sitting in a trailer with boocoo antennas on the roof, but there you have it. It's the closest thing to having all the freqs in one place, whereas I think the best bet is your local scanning club. They probably give away freq lists or at least have 'em cheaper.

01/22/99 22:46:22 - MESSAGE #480
If you're talking about the old twenty-three-channel crystal sets (before the forty-channel PLL units came along), then the crystals were a bank of four crystals each about thirty-sevenMhz, and a second bank of six crystals each about ten Mhz. The channel switch would connect each of the crystals in the "six bank" one at a time with one of the crystals in the "four bank". The circuit subtracted the ten-mhz crystal from the thirty-seven-mhz crystal producing a frequency about twenty-seven-mhz, which is where the CB band resides.
So.....if you can get some other crystal pairs that subtract to forty-nine mhz, you will have a small part of this problem solved. The other two parts of the problem is to convert the AM transmitter in the CB to Narrow FM. The other is to re-tune the circuit to operate on forty-nine-mhz instead of twenty-seven-mhz.
And of course, you will need to re-tune your antenna to operate at forty-nine-mhz.

Well..... tough decision. This mainly rests on what you plan to do more - talk or listen. The Bearcat is specifically made for listening, and will suit you much better for listening than any ham radio. The Yaesu ft-fifty, however, can key up out of band. The ft-fifty, however, cannot pick up lowband cordless (its coverage stops at seventy-sixmhz). Here are my recommendations:
I. If you plan to do a lot of listening, go for the Bearcat. Ham radios really suck monkey balls for scanning - no banks, slow scan speed, etc.... The Bearcat will also probably be much cheaper.
II. If you want to talk, pick up one of the new Yaesu VX-fiveR's. They will cover _everything_ and can be modded. Just be sure to pick up one from Canada or England or something because I'm not sure if a cell mod exists for that rig. Scanning will suck with this, but if modded correctly, you will be able to key up on cordless freqs!

Absolutely. There are freeware programs that encode POCSAG and pipe it out of the serial port. Pretty much any ham radio that can be used for packet radio can send POCSAG. The problem here is that you would have to find a radio that can transmit (or be modded to transmit) in the pager bands.

POCSAG stands for Post Office Common Signalling.... oh hell i forget, something with post office in it or something like that. Anyways, POCSAG is a digital messaging protocol/format that's used mainly with beepers. You know those crazy-sounding signals in the nine twenty nine to nine thirty two mHz range of your scanner? Those are POCSAG signals. Yes, they can be decoded. There are a number of ways to skin the cat with POCSAG decoding, but the easiest is to tune your scanner to a POCSAG frequency and hook your scanner's audio output up to your sound card. Now go grab a program called Poc(thirty-two). Poc(thirty-two) listens to the scanner audio input (the POCSAG signals) and decodes them and puts them in a nice little box. That's basically what POCSAG is/how it's decoded. There are better ways to decode though, which would take me forever to explain, so if anyone's interested, either ask on here or mail me and I'll give you the full deal.

as far as i know, there's no beeper-sized pocsag decoder. the only way to do it now is either to use poc32 through the sound card, or somethin like pd302 through the serial port, using a data slicer circuit.

as far as 900mhz cordless goes... yes, they can be heard in the 902-907 range..... but some 900mhz cordless phones are screwy.. some will change frequencies every 2 seconds, and some others will either be digital, or be spread spectrum..... and if they are using either of those, forget trying to listen in with any regular scanner.... 900 isn't really that active around me at all.

DATE - 12/21/98 19:59:56
FROM - Black Axe 732dual- and triple- conversion refers to how the scanner converts the received signal and interprets it. with dual conversion, you will likely have better sensitivity (ability to pull in weak signals), but with triple, you will have less interference. image interference can come from any radio transmitter.... ex. police transmissions, cellular towers, beepers (a big offender), you get the idea. the most important gaps you'll probably notice is in the 800mhz range (specifically, the cellular phone freqs are blocked out). all of the gaps in the 200-400 and 500-800 range don't contain anything the casual scanner listener has too much interest in, such as military aircraft, the 1.25m amateur (ham) band, various radiolocation services, etc... not real voice transmissions or anything. crystal scanners are very hard to come by..... they can be useful if you just crystal them for your local cops (I've done this), but they are very limited otherwise.
if you are looking to buy a scanner, i'd go with dual-conversion unless you live in an urban area. dual-conversion lets you pull in those weak cordless conversations. modifying a modern scanner for cell reception is just about impossible. besides, cell calls are generally boring. if you _need_ a cell receiver though, check out durham electronics - they will sell you a full cell-capable scanner. expensive, though. if you are getting a handheld, be sure to pick up a telescoping antenna for it - this will perform much better on the lower bands, as well as on vhf-hi and uhf.

sometimes while scanning..my scanner will go over some frequencies very slowly. my hypothesis is that there is a cop car close by, because if i pause on the frequency that is the slowest..sometimes i'll hear them talking into their cb. so the question is
am i right?

You can pick those up around 44mhz. If you wanna play spy kid, you can get one of those ac to dc adapter things for your car, bring your scanner along to the persons house you know has a cordless, and plug it into your car and start scanning. You'd be able to pick up their conversations from a safe hiding place.
I don't know why you would really want to do that...but i would use it to find out what that girl talks about when she's on the phone with her chump-ass boyfriend whom which i fuX with his phones. I think i'll go full scale and either tap his line or just cut it up into itty-bitty pieces.

The purpose of scanners is to automatically scan several known frequencies, OR to scan a range of frequencies in search of interesting signals.
1. You can listen to your local BIG BROTHER, police & fire departments.
2. You can listen to neighborhood cordless phone conversation.
3. You can listen to local businesses, taxicabs, security guards, and paging systems.
4. You can listen to local ham radio operators.
5. You can listen to the national weather service (if you don't have a "WeatherRadio")
6. You can listen to the local TV station news crews out getting stories, so you'll know whats going to be on the evening news even before it's on.
7. You can SEARCH ranges of frequencies for new and interesting things.
You asked for "legal" purposes, right? So I'll leave off listening to cellular phones, and you might have to scratch off #2 above, in some states.
The reason for getting a scanner, and listening to it is simple,....because it is still legal!
Since I CAN listen to the local cops, I WILL!

TOPIC - antennas
DATE - 09/04/98 01:35:16
FROM - In Phase Ray,
I think Dark Cloud was just interested in receiving signals, not transmitting. So, finding or making an antenna of a certain length for optimum performance on any given frequency is not that important. You can use crude measurements when making a receiving-only antenna. The greater the surface area (size), the greater its signal gathering ability.
And the formula to determine the antenna length you need for transmitting is this:
468 divided by the frequency you are using = the antenna length in feet.
For example, to calculate the antenna size you need to transmit on 97.3 Mhz is:
468 / 97.3 = about 4.8 feet, for a "half-wave" antenna, which is a length that is half the
wavelength for that frequency. Half-wave antennas are common, and easy to tune up.

TOPIC - No No No!
DATE - 09/03/98 16:41:30
FROM - Ray Dios Haque United Phreaks SynidcateThe idea is not to have a larger antenna. You have to keep in mind that the frequency you wish to transmit on is dependant on the length of your antenna. By increasing the size of your antenna, you may also need to change the frequency you travel on. There is a formula you must use to figure out how long your antenna should be. Check out THUD magazine, issue one. They have an article about "Pirate Radio for Newbies". It exaplins this in detail. Some saleswomen they made Dark Cloud! They were going to let you spend the money, and then refuse the return because you would have soldered all over them!

Do you mean connecting to antennas together, to make ONE longer antenna? I guess that would work, but soldering to that chrome plating on telescoping antennas isn't always easy.
You could make an antenna, out of a BNC connector, a few feet of coax cable, and some insulated 20 gauge wire.
Using a CB radio antenna to listen to scanner traffic also works. You just need to get an adapter to convert the PL-259 connector on the CB cable to a BNC to connect to your scanner.

You're right...cordless phones operate between 43Mhz-49Mhz.
The handsets are mostly on 49.xxx Mhz, so if you listen there, you will only hear one side of the conversation. But if you listen to 43.xxx and 46.xxx Mhz, you will hear the base unit, which carriers both sides of the conversation, and can be heard farther away besides.

No, you can't modify that scanner to pick up cellular. The scanners that you CAN modify to receive cellular alreadly pick up the 800Mhz band, just not cellular. Doing the modification to them just re-allows cellular phones to be received.
So to put it this way, if it doesn't have 800 Mhz reception now, you can't modify the radio to receive it.
The other things you CAN receive are cordless phones. Somebody posted the freqs on here a while back.

FROM - Sharpshooter, KNY2VS Niagara Falls, NY - aol.comRegarding monitoring military communications with a scanner (or for that matter with a shortwave radio), this is NOT (I say again NOT) illegal to do. In fact, if you check the web sites of the various military services, some of them even have frequency lists available for radio hobbyists.
It *is* however illegal to divulge the specific contents of what you hear or use it for personal gain (i.e. to make money or whatever). It is also illegal to eavesdrop on scrambled communications. But other than that it is perfectly legal!

the ground stations broadcast an annoying tone when not in use. the planes broadcast in simplex only, while the ground station broadcast duplex similar to cordless fone base/handset operation. the easiest way to monitor this service it to load first a plane frequency then a ground frequency for each channel. after loading all the channels go back and lock out all of the ground frequencies. scan the plane grequencies for simplex transmissions and when you get a hit, press your manual key t jump to the next greq....the locked out ground greq broadcasting in duplex!

TOPIC - Generally Scanners
DATE - 07/29/98 18:52:12
FROM - The Lineman SBC 805 For all you newbie scannists out there who ask newbie questions, allow me to help. First, listening to cellular is ILLEAGAL. It can be fun as hell, but that's not the point. Due to federal regulation, SCANNERS MADE OR SOLD IN THE US OF A CANNOT RECEIVE CELLULAR. No exceptions. However, there are ways around this. First of which being modification. Whole books have been written on this subject. Read them. It's usually only a matter of snipping a wire that was put there to short the cell band. Second method is to buy a converter. Ramsey Electronics (yes, they do sell through Radio Crap) makes a converter that "chops" all signals in the 800 to 900 MHz range in half. All you need to do is hook it up to a scanner capable of receiving 400 to 500 MHz and your in business. Cost is about 90 bucks put together or $50 for a kit. Your last course of action is to buy your scanner in a country (i.e., Canada) that does not require cell blocking. As far as cordeless phones are concerned, probably every scanner made will pick them up in the 40 MHz region. The new 900 MHz band cordless is fun to listen to also, however, some of these phones utilize "spread spectrum" technology, which spreads their signal over a wide area. To recieve this, you need to be in Wide FM mode. and tune around a bit until you zeroe in on it. As far as "scrambled" phones, they use a speech inversion technique that can be unscrambled using an unscrambler (duh). I think Ramsey sells this also, and I know for sure that there are other electronics companies that do. No more Donald-Duck-sounding cordless motherfuckers!
One more thing; Please don't expect to buy a quality scanner with mega memory and lots of coverage for anything less than about $130. It sounds like everyone that posts here wants a great radio for a great (read, under $100) price, and it has been my experience that you won't find your dream. Of courese, sales do happen...
Hope this little piece helped. God willing and the creek don't rise, I'll be putting out a whole guide for new scannists. Hey, we were all there at one time, right?

I would guess that they are actually using a 900Mhz cordless phone. I don't really know much about radio freqs, but that freq you mentioned is under 900Mhz. Do they use that for all calls or is it more of personal calls. I would have thought the cops would know better than to use a commercial cordless phone for police matters.

It doesn't pick up cell fones, but there is one frequency that i have found 852.2375, that the cops use for telephone communications. I don't know if it's a cell fone or not because i hear a dial tone before they make a call, and about every minute there is a beeping sound during the conversation. I am guessing it's a reserved frequency for them. Could anyone explain to me what this is?
TOPIC - trunked
DATE - 07/22/98 19:07:31
FROM - losernutz 313-murder cityIn the past, groups that broadcast frequently, such as police departments, were restricted to transmitting on just a few frequencies. This resulted in heavy traffic and often required 2-way radio user to wait for a specific frequency to clear before transmitting.
Trunked systems allow more groups of 2-way radio users to use fewer frequencies. Instead of selecting a specific frequency to transmit on, a trunked system chooses one of several frequencies when the 2-way radio user presses PTT (push to talk). The system automatically transmits the call on that frequency, and also sends a code that identifies that 2-way radio user's transmission on a data channel
A trunked scanner lets you select the data channel frequency that you want it to monitor, so you can hear both the call and response transmissions for that 2-way radio user and therefore follow the conversation.

I've been listening to regular 25channel phone frequencies (46-49MhZ) as well as a little bit of 900MhZ analog frequencies for some time now (Digital 900MhZ scanning is not possible yet, not with an inexpensive home scanner anyway)and recently I doscovered the ultimate thrill hehehe, listening AND talking with the people who are having the "private conversation". There are HAM radios out there, a lot of them with receiving frequencies that are the same as the cordless phone frequencies, so whatever ham radio out there with the frequencies u wanna hear, you can actually bring to someone, or modify it yourself so that u can also transmit on those frequencies too. Most ham radios are locked out so that u cant transmit on those frequencies, but with a little hacking in by a smart electrician, or "mdifying guy", wherever u hearpeople talking on a cordless phone with your radio, u can just press transmit on your radio and talk to them, like ur sending them a message over a radio. It's pretty cool, once me and my friends went driving around with his ICOM something radio that was modified, and with his antenna on the roof of the car we went hunting for conversations all over the neigborhood and we had a blast hehehehe. not like I'm telling anyone to do it, and not like we actually listenined in on connversations.... that would be illegal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hehehehehe, if anyone finds out any more info on how to perform these modifications themselves, id be willing to invest in a nice little ham radio for myself =)PEACE OUT HEADZZZZZZZZZZ!~!~!

FROM - British I remember back when I first got a police scanner and i listened to this one paticular HAM radio repeater. There was some renegade with his own HAM transciever who would always hit the mic when other people are talking, cutting them off. Then someone did an autopatch(phone call over the airwaves) of a guy telling the state troopers theres a dead dog on the road. Then the guy butted in with a sarcasticly sad voice saying "oh noooo theres a dead dog on the freeway!". He rarely ever spoke. he usualy just hit the mic cuting people off on all times of the day. Sometimes he talked, usually in a whisper.
Another incident was this guy talking to this woman about coming home on autopatch. She did not sound like she was in a good mood, and as soon as she said "What took you so damn long?" someone at the repeater ended the call right there with a computer voice saying "call complete". ha. those were the days

I had a cordless phone when I lived in a large apartment complex and I could hear all sorts of conversations. It was cool. I would scream into the phone, but they could not hear me. I didn't know much about the frequencies then, but it took time to sit down and scan channels 1-10 once in a while to find someone on the phone.
Also it may be unlikely to find a 120v outlet near the telco box. If you lived in apartments then you may just need a LONG extenion cord. The base unit will need the 120v outlet for power. What would be cool is if you could hook one up and make it discrete. My cousin had a cordless phone with a base. He purchased a separate charging station whick you would keep in the bedroom. Anyway, you could leave your beige box there a little longer and still charge your handset.

In the middle is a picture of a speaker and on the left is a picture of that same speaker with an X through it. I assumed the z with aroows denoted 2 way communication. On the left side of the radio are two buttons you can hold down. The top button seems to be a squelch type control, where when you hold it down you hear the actual white noise all the time rather than just when somebody speaks. And the bottom button does nothing that I can tell, sometimes when Im scanning channels I play with It because I assumed it was the morse code button. The other night while sitting in front of the local movie theatre and I was scanning chanells and hitting the "morse code" button, Some came on and was saying "Hello? Hello? ....

FROM - In Phase Skrike - You could go to Motorola's web page and see if you can find any info there.
Possibly the reason the other people you hear, but they can't hear you is because of "PL tones". PL tones allow more than one business in the same town, to "share" the same frequency. Different companies use different PL tones, so a company using a different PL tone than the radio you have won't hear you when you transmit. There is probably a switch on the radio to enable or disable the PL tone option, so you will either hear or NOT hear the other transmissions, depending on whether they use the same PL tone as your radio.
(Disabling PL tones allows you to hear ALL transmissions on a certain frequency, regardless of whether they use the same PL tone as you.)
If you have a scanner, you could key-up the radio on the different channels, put the scanner in search mode, and listen for yourself. This way, you can find out what frequencies the radio uses.

OK, First of all when you buy a cordless phone and it says 900Mhz, sometimes it's not, and anotherthing, price doesn't matter, somewhere someone said that all of the more expensive phones work on 900Mhz, that's not true, I bought a cordless phone with caller id on handset for $130 and i can pick it up on my scanner somewhere around 47Mhz and down to about 41Mhz, in conclusion phone manufactures lie sometimes.
and if you pick up a conversation around 47 mhz keep searchin lower and you should here both sides of the conversation,

Most scanners can be modified for 800 as easy as snipping a wire or a diode but if your scanners upper limit is 510MHz or so, you're not gonna get it. Or if you have an older scanner that wasn't made for such high of a frequency, of course that won't "cut it" haha sorry I had to do that. Anyway, you're not out of luck. You can easily with minimal tecnical knowledge build a downconverter. These will take a frequency range (in this case, 800-900) and bring it down to a different, usually lower, frequency (again, in this case will be 400-500). Now about all scanners can cover 400-500MHz without being modified. You hook the downconverter to the antenna input on the scanner and your antenna to the downconverter and tada! 400=800, 400.025=800.025, ... , 500=900. Now you can get cell on your scanner. Just simply remove the downconverter to recieve normally again. These downconverters can be purchased as kits from Ramsey Electronics, based in N.Y., and just call 800 info for their number. They'll send you
a free catalogue with a bunch of cool stuff in it. Some good stuff for pirate radio and tv stations in there, too! Anyway, hope this helps at least 1 person. l8r all, Bob's Radio Show 9955khz saturdayz..

I thought everyone already knew this, but it looks like some of you don't.
Almost all scanners can be modified to pick up in the 800Mhz cell phone range by simply cutting one or two wires on the inside; it differs from model to model of course, but it's pretty easy to find out exactly what to do.
By the way, any people involved in H/P in the 218 area code?

hehheh...POCSAG is more than jus some code that magically scans #'s and then decodes it for ya ;p...ya need the hardware as well...I'd tell you in detail about it but I have'nt got much time right now...go to the L0PHT (Lopht..is with a zero not o....www.L0pht.com) page and check out the projects section for info...I think they're all sold out of the hardware needed though..its not too hard to build if you have a lil electronics background however...if not, learn its a good first project to start with...oh what hookups? what do you think? heh ;)...you'll need a free serial port -- what else were ya gonna use telepathy...at the bottom I'll leave you another good link for more info...also I don't know what version you got but ver. 2.04 is out now also
POCSAG stuff

I was just inquiring, I recently downloaded a POCSAG converter/decoder for pager signals but I'm somewhat confused on how it suppost to work. The documentation that came with it was very inadequate. I read a post on here that stated that the scanner is wired through the puter (running POCSAG decoder)to decode properly. What exactly are the hookups? What kind of hardware/equipment is needed for this. Please respond
