I recently bought a Realistic Pro-2006 at a "Junk" store (estate
liquidators) for $50. It seems to work good but I noticed it had an rs-232
jack on the back of it. When I opened it up I saw a board glued to the top
of one of the Rf boxes with an 68HC11 chip and a tangle of wires. I think
this is a Bill Cheek modification. When I looked it up I got a link to a
site selling Pro-Turbo software. I thought this was great except for the
fact that in the small print it says I need the original dos disk that came
with the mod for the Turbo disk to work.
Does anyone know where to get the disk? I don't know if this is hb-232 or
ce-232. Is there a way to tell?

I got the original floppy disk that came with my hb-232 kit (version
1.3 dated 1-16-1993). Probably the only way to know if it works is to
fire up the software and connect the scanner. If you got binary
access, I can upload the disk to the newsgroup of your choice.

That would be great!
Is there anything you need that I might be able to repay you with?

Posted to alt.binaries.radio-scanner. Happy to help.... I just
happened to have that disk sitting next to my scanner stack. Can't
think of anything that I need right now...Thanks for the offer though.
