The PRO-26 is one of the worst image receivers I've ever seen for
tripple conversion! You can receive cell from 32-46 mhz 108-136 mhz and
1005-1036mhz if searched in 5khz steps and NFM mode. with the 32-46mhz
you can cover cordless phones at the same time I've found...

This is posible. The over seas CPU is listed in the service manual. BUT
can't be purchased here in the states or Canada. They sell for about
what the radio is realy worth. $200.00
I had 2 of these radios & resold the other. The DATA SKIP feature DON'T
work in any of them I've fondled either. At least on true frequencies.
How ever when receiving images such as CELL images it does sometimes
work... I don't recomend for ANY ONE to buy a PRO-26. Pager interferance 
in a large or even moderate size towns can be picked up in almost any
band. 450mhz pagers can be picked up in the 154-156 mhz range also.
It's an out right dirty radio receiver! I'll sell mine with the service
manual and all for $350 to any one who is as dumb as I was to buy it for 
$450 sight unseen. I'll try them out first now! The only good thing
about them is their speed...
