Can the Radio Shack Pro-89 be modified for more output volume? with 2
pair of headsets, it could use just a bit more power. If so, any online
how-tos?

That's the negative side of hand held scanners. I've used small amplified
speakers made to be used with walkmans. I haven't bought any recently so
can't tell you exactly where to get them but feel quite sure they are still
available. They do make a hand held sound like a real radio. RM~

PS I might add , my only experience with hand helds are, Pro-34, Pro91 and a
Pro94. It's quite possible that some of the others may sound like "Real
Radios".

Most can be modified by putting a small jumper wire, from the ground side of
the antenna, to the ground side of the earphone jack. Many of the earphone
jacks have a resistor, in series, on the ground side. Shorting this out to
true ground, gives you full output. This is a protection device, so people
don't damage their ears.
