[Scan-DC] New topic! First Scanner

[Greg Danes]

Would like to know what radios the members started using in the "dim time"
before SDR and all the stuff we have today. Mine was a RS Patrolman 60. I
was never very much into crystal control radios. Also had a very weird VHF
radio , not sure who made it. Was the size of a mobile CB with a tiny
half-moon tuning dial, squelch and volume, built like a brick. Of course my
dream scanner was back then the Bearcat/Electra 300 with service search. In
those days (1984?) it was considered the top of the line for those wanting
a primo scanner, I later bought 2 off of Ebay and no longer own them but it
was still a "fun" radio to mess with. I have since owned RS PRO-2006's,
Pro-2020, BC-210, Pro-83, Pro-94/97, AOR early model digital's and a few
others. My later pride and joy were the PRO-2006's with the 800 mod, IF tap
and even replacing the back-light was a cool project and needed most of the
time.
