Hop on the Long Island RailRoad. Go to Port Jefferson. Take a cab to
the Rocky Point RS store. (Call first, and make sure that Melissa is
there - she's the one who knows what she's doing. Paul, the manager,
does too.)

Hey, at least ONE store in the NY Metro area can program scanners.


They do seem to be few and far between these days, don't they?

When I went into the close by one that used to have someone who had a
clue, they told me he had gotten a better job, and "nobody else knows
much about scanners". No kidding. I was looking to get a PRO 95 for a
friend and when I called, they said they had two.

Well, while I waited while he looked for one, I played with a PRO 96,
and a couple of others, none of them programmed with much of anything at
all. I had to ask the guy when he finally came out with one, "Why don't
you have the displays loaded up with freqs so people can hear something
when they look at them?"

"Well, it's pretty complicated!"

You know what that kid is going to be??

A lawyer...scary.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Considering that you're talking about NYC, it's not like there aren't
very many things he could program into it. (Can a Pro-96 really hold
all the frequencies NYC uses? Just programming the entire PD by hand
would take a day or so.)

Nah - lawyers and politicians don't have to know anything - for proof
just look at most lawyers and/or politicians.

Well, no, I was talking about Toledo, Ohio and it's many nearby towns,
about 2-300 easily programmed PS freqs.

That's true, but lawyers usually have to get good grades, and that some
of these dolts can be so damn dumb, and get them amazes me.
