Dan:

Can't reach you via mail. You've probably heard this trick before:

	To listen on a frequency f (where f is in the VHF-hi or UHF
	range), program the scanner to

		f + 2(IF),

	to hear the image.

I use this method on the BC350 and BC300 to listen in on the 400 - 420
MHz band. Bearcat has used IF's of 10.8 and 10.85 MHz in their scanners.
