John, a ham friend of mine had one of those bearcat scanners and
as I remember, they ran very warm temperature wise and also had a
lot of synthesizer noise. The Regency model ran much cooler and
as I recall, didn't have nearly as much background noise on
signals. Jim WA6EKS

Hi Jim, I remember that scanner, it was a hot receiver, as I
recall! I
also had a Barecat 101, or 100, that used the same idea, but was
programmed with the 16 channel lock-out switches on the front,
and had
one of the hottest receivers I have ever seen in a scanner! I
used to
know the formula to convert the frequency to that binary number,
so I
could make the scanner go to frequencies that weren't listed in
the book!
