Thanks for the resources!
No, right now the 2006 is next to my bed with a whip scanning the local HAM repeaters. I've been using the 780XLT attached to the outside antenna to search for milair because the software will record the frequencies it finds. Back in the day, I had a pro-2035 (I think that's the model) with an optoelectronics board in it. I bought it used for that purpose because I couldn't deal with the thought of carving up my 2006 to put the opto board in. :o
I will probably use the 2006 for milair once I get a cache of frequencies. I also plan to make and use an antenna tuned for that band (right now I'm using a discone).

Sounds like you know your way around. Likewise I refused to cut up my 2006 for the same reason, however it did do very well at mil air. Always wanted to add some foil to its insides to block rf, shame they didn't make metal cases for it like they did with the 2004. Lol still have all the Bill Cheek scanner mod books sitting here, have to look them over. Likewise I need to get some antennae for dedicated mil air, a turnstyle for the sats and a discone cut for 220 to 400. I've also considered a off center fed vertical dipole for 220/400 as they have low swr every other MHz when designed for hf, perhaps even better bandwidth at uhf and are less fiddly to build than a discone, however it's not too hard to cut down the typical v/uhf discone for the band in question. Also been prodding a manufacturer I know to roll out a 220 to 400 bandpass filter that should help in high power v/uhf signal areas
