Wiki Admin Emeritus
Welcome to the first news item to report on improvements to our Wiki section. A big Thank You goes out to those folks who have taken the time and effort to improve this section. Anything in blue is a link - just click on it and away you go. From time to time, I'll try to let folks know what has been happening - and what new stuff has been added.
As always, you are encouraged to contribute! All you need to do is register (free), and you may edit almost any of the existing pages, or add a page yourself. It's a very good idea to download the Quick guide to editing, the link for which is right on the first page, to give you a good starting point. If you have questions or are hesitant about starting a page, please ask - there's lots of help available.

- A new article that outlines dealers for everything from mobile mounts to batteries, speakers and much more has been added. Check out the new Scanner Accessories article
- Links for the PRO-96 DSP Upgrade and PRO-2096 DSP Upgrade has been added to their respective pages on the Wiki.
- For the Milcom'ers amongst us, the Patuxent River Complex article has been updated; frequencies in italics still need verification.
- A new article for Fort Belvoir/Davison AAF has been added, courtesy of CitationJet
- In addition, the Military Web Pages and Mailing lists article has had some minor maintenance; each webpage is now categorized by state, where possible; this should make it a bit easier for folks looking for something specific
- Satellite chasers, this one's for you - we've added a SATCOM page, which
for the moment, is a mix of milsat and amateur links. But if it's expanded enough, perhaps two pages can be made out of this...(hint,hint)
- Our chief bottle washer Lindsay has added an article for the new Icom IC-R9500
mega radio. Wonder who's going to be the first on the block with this baby <pun intended>?
- Another new article for Icom has been added; this one on the new R2500
- Minor changes applied to the RR FAQ page. In addition, something I really hoped wouldn't happen did - Ben Saladino, the author of the popular Radio Manager software, has decided to leave the software field. He wrote me about this, citing the wide availability of the UASD for the new DMA radios, and lack of time to update his software. We have since purged the Wiki of his software links, and are saddened to see him go.
- Lastly, some cleanup and organization has been added to the Live Scanners article.
