MISCELLANEOUS
Manufactured:Sweden, 198x-199x (Discontinued)
Reset procedure: No reset function. If the user entered the wrong code too many times, the
scanner would lockup, forcing the user to send the unit to DLS where they
replaced an EEPROM under the CPU. The EEPROM is sanded down and
painted, making it very difficult to identify. It's an 8-pin DIL, and it's been
suggested it could be a 24C16, but that has not been verified.
Additional info: Tailor-made for the now withdrawn Swedish police and rescue bands.

This one was owned by yours truly, and I modified it with a BNC jack.
