Geez, that will never survive usenet. Look for item 33030040.

I bought this scanner and returned it. The back wasn't photographed
when I bought it else obviously I would have stayed clear of an
obviously hacked up unit. It is actually worse than it looks. There
are additional components soldered on the PCB near the antenna input.

I got most of my money back, less the cost to ship it back to the
seller. That really ****es me off because I would have never bought
the scanner if a photo of the back was included in the previous
auction.

I've made two requests for the $10. I've give the seller a negative
should they fail to pay me.

Pawn shop purchases are always dicey.
