>Hi all,
\n>I am fairly new to this scanner, but I love it. I've had many scanners
\n>in the past to support my old newspaper reporter habits.
\n>
\n>My question is, occasionally, when I am in scan mode, and I push the
\n>srch button to change modes or freq ranges, my scanner will turn off
\n>and come back on. This has happened with other button also, such as
\n>pse.
\n>
\n>I use the Radio Shack alkaline batteries. Could this just be the
\n>batteries getting low? I don't have an a/c cord yet or car adapter.
\n>
\n>Also, does anyone have any w97 files for Harris County or Houston and
\n>surrounding areas? I am a contributing member to rr and have
\n>downloaded the StarNet trunked system.
\n>
\n>Thanks in advance and I have really enjoyed this group so far.

\n>Bill
