anyone interested in tuning your radio for bigger modulation output pm me

any radio made can be tuned and peaked some of these are simple some require more complex adjustments

but warning if you dont know how to solder or diode or resistor replacement or anything about pc board
repair DO NOT TRY because you could damage your radio

There's all kind of different police scanner antenna's of ebay, just have to search around for what you need. I don't think a cb antenna will work because of the different frequencies used by a police scanner.

Yay! Marylands grey anyway.

I plan on putting it inside my seat. With the speaker right by my head rest. And redirect the LEDs to my dash, but they will look like normal random leds.

I use my one whip as an antenna for my Fire Scanner, to listen to fire calls. I just put a PL259 to BNC adapter on the end of the cable, and wala, works flawlessly. The other whip is for my Cobra CB.

Fire scanner:


Mostly temp. spot for the time, but its working right now so I'm not going to move it.
