Just dug out the Radio Shack Pro-2006, the king of scanners at time many moons ago. I had done the discriminator tap for some reason at the time. It powers up but the notorious dying blacklight issue is there but it does illuminate the LCD display albeit weak. Scanner needs a cleaning and a replacement 9vdc battery. I hear these perform quite well on the VHF and aircraft bands and it will do WFM for the local radio stations here. I think at one time I was able to pick up WCCO-AM's 950MHz STL since I am in the path from downtown to their transmitter in Coon Rapids which was great when there was a t-storm as not having to put up with lightning crashes during the storm. Anyone else still using one and how is working for ya?. I remember when I bought it back in the day, it burned a hole in my wallet as it was very expensive for that time period. I need to research some freqs to enter, but analog is dying and most of the public safety agencies are on ARMER and DMR is catching on here.
Thanks guys
