Way off topic: Radio antennas
I know this has nothing to do with Tek-scopes (I do own a RM547, so I do belong "in the club") but I know many of you are also into HAM radio. Here's the story: I bought my mother a new police scanner

Re: Did Tek mod all older scopes from UHF to BNC connectors?
Hi Steve: As Stan just reported about UHF connectors, not all Tek scopes had a mod for UHF connectors but these connectors were stock items and could be ordered from the factory. I have BNC connectors
