Vintage police scanners can be put back in service with the latest scanner crystals for your local area. Thousands of scanners are sitting in attics and basements, collecting dust. Regardless of the make or manufacturer, you can simply replace new Scanner Crystals with the most current scanner frequencies and that old vintage scanner is back in business.
Millions of scanner radios were manufactured in the 1970?s requiring scanner crystals to determine the frequency those scanner could monitor. The Electra Corporation was one of the most popular, manufacturing the Bearcat Scanner. This was one of the first police scanners on the market, requiring Bearcat Scanner Crystals to operate.
Another favorite was the Regency Scanner that required Regency Scanner Crystals to monitor the appropriate frequencies for your local area. Understand that their were two different types of scanner crystals, with the bearcat scanner crystal being exclusive to the bearcat scanner and the regency scanner crystal being universal for all other scanners.
The most important thing is to know the most current scanner frequencies for your area.
A great starting point would be a Scanner Frequency Search which has a comprehensive data base of frequencies by state and county. Another resource would be a local radio shack store, which should have a free list of local frequencies. Lastly a local fireman or ems worker should know which are most relevant to your area.
