Hey Gang. I came across a really great site with almost every Radio Shack catalog that you can thumb thru. Have a fun time looking at all the old stuff and note how expensive some of the old scanners were. :D http://www.radioshackcatalogs.com/catal ... ctory.html |

Wow, thanks so much! I still have the RS Patrolman PRO-3 tunable receiver. But I wasn't sure when I bought it. I see it on page 72 of the 1971 catalog, but not in the 1970 catalog. This receiver is especially fond to me because I stumbled across the FBI, ATF and Secret Service repeaters in Oklahoma when I was a reporter for The AP. The first Bearcat scanner also came out near this time or perhaps a bit earlier. The challenge was trying to find the frequencies of these repeaters -- 163.9875, 165.2875 and 165.375. But that's another story. DennisE (moved from Everett to north of Monroe) |

"Wow, thanks so much! I still have the RS Patrolman PRO-3 tunable receiver" I still have one of those also and it still works pretty well. I think I picked it up at the ham store just north of Boeing field. Was that Amateur Radio Supply? Sure miss then ham stores in the Seattle area. Now the closest is HRO in Portland. :( |

that was trip down memory lane. I had a mini Patrolman which had no squelch and later the Patrolman. Both had really crappy sensitivity. I remember an Allied store in Richland which later became a Shack |

The Best Store Ever in the Seattle Area was the Original ABC Communications in North City (Shoreline) The store then was on the East side of the street and was a lot bigger. I went to High School with a guy that worked there (Keith) |

Portland had Wasson's Lafayette on NE Grand. It was still there in the late 80's but a shell of it's former self. Portland Radio was downtown, moved over to SE Grand and then was gone. |

Daaaayum. You don't expect to see KWM-2s and 30S-1s in a Radio Shack catalog, but there they are, in 1961. |

So yesterday, I start looking for Radio Shack catalogs in Google, to research a radio I had back in the 70's for another post and came across that site. I found the radio.... a "Patrolman Mini" in the 1971 catalog! About 15 minutes after I found it, I started looking at the other threads on the site and come across yours! Too ironic! You beat me to posting the sight! I have to go back and search thru more of them to look for some other radios I used to have. Good find! Chuck K7TMF |
