Good Scanner! Try this if you have a solder station or find someone who
does.

Adds an extra 100 channels to this.

You can also find the manual in PDF format at that site too. If you are in
Georgia or near let me know. I might be able to help on the mod.

I've just been given a Bearcat 100 xlt handheld scanner. Heaven only knows
how
old it is - the manufacture date reads: ICHO. Anyway, is the darn thing
even
worth downloading a manual for? I know it "works" because I can pick up
the
weather service. The preprogrammed channels, however, don't work in my
area.
This was a friend's attempt to save me a few bucks. So, in the event that
you
folks don't think I should waste my time with this old thing, what
make/model
would you suggest for me? I just want to entertain myself with whatever I
can
listen to, especially at night when I can't sleep. I'm on disability and
housebound, so money is an issue, but I'll pay a little extra if it's
worth
going up a step or two to have access to some "good stuff."
I read parts of the FAQ and have the impression that the recommendations
might
include Uniden BC 785 or Radio Shack Pro 95. I don't care if it's handheld
or
table model.
Thanks for all the help you can provide.
