In regards to recent Scanner Survey and Owner's Report
articles, I don't receive sample scanners from manufac-
turers for evaluation. As a hobbyist, the equipment I
review is that which I've purchased or repaired for
myself or others, and had an opportunity to evaluate
"hands-on".
If I haven't had enough experience with a particular
model to make anything more than superficial remarks, I'm
timid about writing a review.
I would enjoy reading articles by owners of
- Drake DSR2, ITT Mackay Marine, or TMC GPR90 general
coverage receivers,
- Regency MX7000/MX5000 or Z-series scanners,
- JIL SX400 scanners,
- Bearcat 50XL portable scanners,
- other scanner or shortwave receivers,
- scanner antennas.
- receiver accessories (descramblers, tape recorder
interfaces, broadcast band rejection filters, Fox-
Tango IF filters, etc.)
How does your equipment perform? If you've encountered
any equipment failures, what parts were defective? Was
it difficult to repair? Have you found a way to "trick"
it into doing something new?
Is anyone still actively using those older, tuneable pub-
lic service monitor receivers, like the Radio Shack PRO-
2B, early Regency Monitoradios, or Lafayette PF series?
I've a shelf full of these vintage radios and collect
more every hamfest.
I hope you enjoy reading this stuff as much as I like
writing it. Thanks for your support.
