Reagency Act R20/6 20 Channel Desktop

$64


The Regency ACTR20-6 was a 20-channel 6-band crystal-controlled scanner introduced in 1975. This was the days when an 8-channel scanner was a luxury, and one could spend more on crystals than on the scanner itself. The ACT-R230/6 had 20 channels of course but also 6 band ranges. 2 were for Low-VHF (30-38 and 38-50), 2 for VHF-High (148-160 and 160-174) and 2 for UHF (450-480 and 480-512).

I am the original and only owner of this radio. Kept clean and in a smoke free enviornment. Radio is in very good condition, with the exception of the squelch slider control is a little sticky. Probably just a bit of dirt.

I'm leaving all the installed crystals (a count of 13) as part of the sale. They are: 44.68 / 44.72 / 46.06 / 46.14 / 46.26 / 46.32 / 151.445 / 151.265 / 151.355 / 151.310 / 161.550 / 171.475 / 171.575.

Also included is the manual, 2 each telescopic antennae (VHF/UHF), and the power cord. Also the mounting bracket, if I can locate it.

Radio Shack Pro-53 8 channel Crystal VHF/UHF Desktop

$26

I do have the operation manual in .pdf form, and includes a complete schematic. It comes with a telescopic antenna and built in power cord. It does power up and scans OK.

It has individual channel lockout switches, and a built-in scan delay of about 2-3 seconds.

Seven(7) crystals are currently installed & are included in the purchase. They are: 39.78 / 154.385 / 39.50 / 39.42 / 155.295 / 162.475 / 39.30. All are Mhz of course

$38


200-channel scanner that was manufactured by GRE. 200 channels with 10 banks of 20 channels with a scan rate of 25cps. This RadioShack handheld scanner does everything a scanner app on your phone does, but it doesn't need WiFi or data and it takes AA batteries.

Radio Shack Pro-83 hand-held 200 channel VHF/UHF/800mhz

$54


PRO-83 200 Channel compact scanner w/signal stalker search and lighted keypad.

Compact, lightweight, and loaded with the frequencies you need! This scanner is smaller than conventional handhelds to fit nicely in your palm and has an orange backlit display for easy use at night. Store up to 200 of your favorite frequencies into memory. Features the Signal Stalker–instantly "lock on" to frequencies being broadcast in your area—no programming necessary.

The Pro-83 is best suited for hobbyists and beginners who want to monitor older analog-based police, fire, EMS, and amateur radio services without needing to track trunked systems or digital communications. It is also a good option as a "grab-and-run" or backup scanner.

The Pro-83's sibling, the Pro-84, and it's cousin the Uniden BC95XLT, are all basically the same radio with a different color case. The BC95XLT has the same orange backlight, but the keys are not backlit.

Radio Shack Pro-444 hand-held Racing Scanner

$28


The RadioShack Pro-444 is a vintage racing scanner with an intercom function, a dual LCD display, one-touch access to the Motor Race Network, and preloaded racing frequencies. It offers a fixed stubby antenna, a built-in charging system, and four audio jacks for different headsets. However, it is a discontinued model, making it difficult to find, and its fixed antenna and manual programming process are limitations.

In Summary the RadioShack Pro-444 is a specialized, analog racing scanner with unique intercom features. While its specific design for racing enthusiasts is a significant advantage, its discontinued status and analog-only capability make it a niche device for collectors or those specifically interested in older racing technology.

Manufactured by GRE. Frequency Coverage: 450-467 MHz; Preprogrammed with six major race series: Champ Car, ARCA Re/Max, Indy Racing, Craftsman Truck, Busch Series and Nextel Cup.

Programming Cable is RadioShack 20-546 USB cable.
