Seems largely uninhabited these days.  Haven't seen one post since I joined early this year.
I guess a lot of members have moved on to bigger and better scanners.

I have one.  Scanning for emergency services stuff is getting harder here. (South Australia)
as the Police use encrypted trunking systems on the GRN (Govt Radio Network).  Ambos and 
fire and SES use GRN but without the encryption, so the Pro is mainly used for Marine VHF and
Aircraft VHF plus UHF CB these days.

Be interested to hear what mods you have made to your gear.
This one is still essentially unmodified AFAIK.

Thinking about WXSAT (with computer assistance) and the like for it.

Never heard of them sorry.  Federal lawsuit?  Over what?
