Hey Steve2004,
I used LND7 for mine. It works good with either a soundcard or data slicer.

What do you ground it to?
Or... do you even ground it?

I mounted my jack under the antenna connection. With the back being metal it's conected to ground, so I didn't run a ground. If you mount it to the back of a plastic cabinet radio (Pro2052/2050 for example), you will have to run a ground wire to a ground point.

Would the point on the back of the radio that says "GRND" work?

Hello, sorry to dig up an ancient post, but can you please tell me how you tapped this scanner, any resistors used, etc. I have 2 of them that I want to tap and am new to this. A friend did one on an old pro2026, but I'm afraid is on its last leg.
Any pics would help. While I am familiar with electronics and have done my fair share of soldering, my strengths end as soon as I pop the top. Lol.

Thanks
Steve
