Concerning _PRO 46_, Tom Walker said to John Morse in SCANRADIO:

I must have missed your original message, or I would have replied sooner. I 
own a PRO-46, and have been very happy with it, although I ran out of 
channels way faster than I thought I would!
I'm writing up a report based on a (eventually) successful modification of my 
PRO-46, which I'll probably post here.  However, it's not finished yet, and 
may not be much use to you depending on which version of the PRO-46 you have. 
 As Tom stated, the date code (that plain white sticker below the rest of the 
information on the back of your scanner) is the key.
In the meantime, try this little trick:  Turn your squelch down a notch lower 
than usual and try a LIMIT search in the 851-917 MHz range.  The best time to 
try this is around lunchtime or around 5 PM.  If you're close enough to the 
towers and your PRO-46 is as bad with images as mine is, you might be able to 
pick up images of cellular calls out to 21.7 MHz above and below the cellular 
base-to-mobile range of about 869-896 MHz.
If you decide to try this, please let me know what happens!
"Better" scanners I've tried like my PRO-43 or my friend's Bearcat 200XLT 
don't seem to have this "feature".
