Not sure??????  That's the easiest step of them all.
Ummmmm, WHAT doesn't the scanner DO that you WISH it did, or what doesn't it 
have that you wish it had?  Obviously, it doesn't do cellular and you wish it 
did.  Tough luck.  That one's not possible.  Next?
Now that is the process one goes through, you see.

I don't understand.  You're looking for a 'shopping list' but you don't know 
what you want?  There are no "shopping lists" for mods for most scanners, 
particularly the PRO-60.  There are things that can be done to it, but geez, 
man, it's YOUR scanner.  You ought to know what you want and don't want.  And 
if you don't know, then hacking on it is not the thing to be thinking about 
at the present time.
No one has written up any mods expressly for the PRO-60 that I know of, and 
so there won't be any files or Web sites that trumpet its grand entrance.
For most scanners, "mods" are something that's generated by the User, first 
in the form of a "wish" list, usually consisting of features and performance 
that the scanner lacks, but that the User wants.  A few things are not 
possible. Many things are possible.  So you get an idea of the impossibles 
first, and then an idea of the possibles.  For this scanner, that's kind of 
the end of it since nothing has been written up for it.
You can, however, find books, magazine articles, and text files for the 
desired mods that have been written up for other scanners, and then do the 
research to see how to apply them to your scanner.  Most people won't do 
that, though. Instead, they prefer "mods" be handed to them on a silver 
platter.
Silver platters are fine, I guess, for the more popular scanners that have 
been written up with files scattered all over Kingdom Come.  The PRO-60 is 
not one such, however.  So the next step as described above is really in your 
hands?
What now?
