I have recently bought a pro-46 scanner on ebay with the hope of doing some modifications to it. One of the modifications i wanted to do was to restore the cellular frequency to it. I did tons of searching and found a few sites that had instructions on how to do it but they were in text and were kind of vague. I got as far as figuring out which resistors to remove but the problem is i dont know where to solder it back onto. I tried a few different locations that i thought were correct but had no sucess. I dont want to just keep trying different places in fear of ruining the scanner. If anyone has any knowledge of this topic and could help i would greatly appreciate it. I can also provide pictures of the board showing what i have taken off and am hoping that maybe someone could take the picture and actually show me exactly where the resistor needs to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hasn't most analog cellular service has been shut down by now? If so your
scanner will receive mostly digital hash on the cellular frequencies. Might
be wasting your time.

Not everywhere.

There are still analog sites in remote/rugged terrains where digital is
useless... like northern Alberta.

Cheers!
