BM>  I remember Radio Shack selling a scanner that went all the way up to
 BM>  1.3 Ghz.  Apparently they don't sell that anymore.  Is it because of
 BM>  the upper military freqs?
 
   Several of their desktop scanners do. You might mean the Pro-26 handheld. 
No longer made, and all the handhelds in the catalog don't
go that high anymore. (I know...my Pro-26 was recently stolen.) They don't 
have TV-FM broadcast reception either, like the 26 did.
 
   A friend at a local RS told me last year that the model had been recalled, 
but it wasn't clear why. I've never heard of a cellular mod for it. Mine 
performed just fine. I only wished it had 300 or more, rather than 200 
channels. No other complaints.
