Here is a brief summary of the various online resources available to the scanner enthusiat.
Modification Archives
I have received numerous email's about modifications for the deleted portion of the 800MHz band on many late model scanners. I do NOT have information on restoring this section of the 800MHz band. Please check out the archives below or other sites which offer this information. (Webmaster Editoral: ECPA may be a joke, and yes the CTIA & the carriers should SCRAMBLE the systems, but theres more to monitor on a scanner than this dribble.)- KC5KTO's Radio Shack Scanner Modification Page
An excellent guide to modifications of Radio Shack scanners! - Radio Mods
