Hey Bill, I addressed this to you knowing you would be the one to answer 
anyway! hahaha
I have a RS PRO-26 and I am interested in ANY and ALL modifications that may 
be available...
Would it be possible to enable all 800mhz freqs, or is that impossible?
I mean, does the microprocessors firmware prevent it?
This scanner is sold in other countries, correct?  So, I assume there is no 
blockage of any of the 800mhz spectrum in these NON-US models...
Not having a service manual for it, and without yanking it apart, I don't 
know anything at all about this unit, but I am going to have assume it, like 
the majority of late model scanners (for the US) has no magic diodes, 
jumpers, etc, and that the only way to get the coverage I desire would be via 
one or two methods.
1) Nasty hack; Grab an image off of another band, etc...
2) Obtain the microprocessor board from a NON-US unit.
Option number two looks to be the easiest, although expen$ive.
What are your (or anyone elses) comments on this?  Where would I obtain the 
board, I mean, would I be able to order it as a part through Radio Shack, and 
if so, who might know the correct part number, and how much do you think it 
may cost?  If I can't just go down to my Radio Shack and order the board, 
would it be possible to get someone else (in a NON-US location) to order the 
part for me?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
John
