Experts,

I have a used RS Pro 2006. I have figured out how to scan with it and all
that (thank you!) but...

I can pick up signals from very close by, including my own cordless phone.
However, I scanned all list night and didn't get ANYTHING in the 800-900mhz.
Tried again this morning and still nothing.

Is there something I am missing? (Its modded btw). Shouldn't I just be able
to program the limits and get stuff?

Is this set bad?

Thank you!

Could it be because there is not much activity in the 800-900 mhz range in
most areas anymore ?
Hmmmmm ... I wonder .... ???

I am supposed to pick up cell, right? I can see people right in front of my
house talking on cell phones when I scan, but I can't seem to get anything!

Is this normal?

Is there any scanners that will pick up ALL cell calls?

I am pretty much new to the scanning thing.

I was under the impression that scanners (modded) would pick up all cell and
cordless calls. For a few more months anyway.

Unless the person standing in front of your house is using a 800 mhz
analog phone OR a digital phone but is in an area where they can't get
digital / GSM coverage so their phone has switched to analog...

At this point I'm going to assume that you are just a top posting troll - And
no, thats "not normal".

You can't pick up any modern cell phones unlewss you are the government.
Which you're not. Hope you didn't spend a fortune on your 2006.

Somewhat of a fortune was certainly spent. All I got so far was a couple of
cordless calls. Sucks!

I went through all of this stuff for nothing! Damned govt.! Always ruin all
the fun!

Sheesh, if you want to listen to cell phone calls just go to your
local WalMart and stand in the lobby.

That's like saying "I bought this expensive plasma TV, and all I watch is
stupid beer commercials".

There's so much more that 2006 can do! Search around the internet and learn
about scanning a bit. You'll find there's a whole world waiting to be
explored with that scanner.

Happy New Year.
