Currently on clearance sale at Radio Shack (or, at least, all the ones I've 
been to in Tennesee) is the now-discontinued Pro-2026 100 channel base/mobile 
scanner for $150.
I wasn't in the market for another scanner, but I'd been having some trouble 
using my handhelds in the car, so I dropped by Radio Shack to check out their 
universal cellular phone mounts, and made the mistake of glancing behind the 
counter.  Somehow, my brain convinced itself that it would be cheaper and 
easier to buy a scanner designed to be mounted and used inside a vehicle than 
to keep using my handhelds...  :-)
Anyway, anybody know any mods for this scanner?  I'd like to increase the 
number of channels, but that's probably not possible.  Opening up cellular or 
other frequency bands is probably not possible, either, especially since the 
date code is 12A5.  So mainly I'm wondering if it's possible to increase the 
scan speed or disable the keypress beep, or preferably just keep it from 
going out the headphone jack.
(My first scanner, I think it was a Pro-27, had the keypress beep but if you 
plugged in headphones, the beep continued to come out of the built-in 
speaker.  I could feed that thing through my amp and really blast, and still 
not go deaf just from manually selecting a channel.)
