Pro-2026 100-channel mobile programmable scanner
Scanner is in great condition and has been modified for cell. Has been wired to a power converter to plug in at your home but can also be wired to run in your car. Includes and old cell phone antenna that I hooked up from time to time as a bonus. Also comes with original box, manual, and bracket for car mounting, although bolts are not included. This is a great scanner and is very reliable.

Description: Your new Realistic PRO-2026 100-Channel Mobile Programmable Scanner lets
you in on all the action! The PRO-2026 gives you access to more than
30,000 frequencies used by police departments, fire departments,
ambulances, aircraft, ham radio operators, and transportation services.
You can store up to 100 frequencies into your scanner's channels, and
you can scan and change your channel selection at any time.
I have had this one since about the early 1990s. It has been reliable all of these years. Still works great today. The radio works best when used with
RF filters placed in-line with the antenna. Mainly stop-band filters on:
- 158.100 & 158.700Mhz (Stop-Band)
If no filters, short antennas also help.
While the Radio Shack Pro-2026 doesn't do digital, trunkung, CTCSS or any of those other do-dads (such as my Uniden 796D), it scans conventional channels very quickly, about 100 channels per second. At that speed, it can even cover trunking systems by scanning each possible channel for activity! It works very well for what it does and it's been doing it for years!
It's one of the best "no-frills" scanners Realistic/Radio Shack ever produced. For repeater monitoring and analog public service it is a solid performer.
