[ScanIndiana] Questions for Ft. Wayne members or anyone

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

Hi John, and welcome back to the hobby. Radioreference.com is a great

The upside down thimble on the PD cars, is the network connection for 
their computers. Many use an air card from Verizon.
Best of luck. And keep in touch.
