I posted my install some time ago, perhaps febrauary before I got the 'systems 9000' head installed, then it was a model 7 head.
The VHF CDM1250 has mostly railroads programmed, as well as a block of amateur repeaters and simplex.
The XTS has a lot of stuff in it, but primarily monitors the downriver trunked system (3600 baud). I've had it since before digital scanners came out for sale (but only by aroudn 3 months) and has served me well, a new battery here and there of course, but that's all.
The Spectra handles my analog 800 needs, which is growing sparce these days. It doesn't see all that much use actually, except for when I'm at school.
I'm not out to debate "how" I got them programmed the way they are, but I'm smart in the way it was all done such that there is no ill-effects on my part toward the systems monitored.
