    Trying to get Polk CO on my WS1040

    Are you using programming software? For your scanner you can use ARC500 or PSREdit500. I use Butel ARC500 Basic to program my Radio Shack PRO-106, the older brother of your scanner.

    CB Base antenna for a Camper Trailer

    I used a 1/2 wave CB marine antenna on a popup camper trailer with a plastic top. A 1/2 wave antenna does not require a ground plane and it folded over when the camper was not in use.

    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100E Broken?

    I looked at a friend's BCD536HP which was totally dead. No display, no backlight, no nothing. It was a bad SD card. The SD card is the weakest link in the chain and should always be eliminated first.

    Chisago County

    That is the bad news. The WS1040 does not like simulcast sites. The scanner may or may not work depending upon location in relation to the towers.

    Care To Share SDS 100 Files For Pinellas County?

    I'm not from Florida but give this file a try. When written to scanner, only the main Site 005 will be scanning. The other 5 sites are available by quick keys. The Blank department is there to prevent getting the dreaded Nothing to Scan message in the event you turn off all of the department...
