Manuals and Publications
From The RadioReference Wiki
You've come home from the hamfest with that nice used scanner, but can't figure out how to make it work, and there's no user manual. Try taking a look at some of the resources below. Some charge for a copy, others are free. If anyone finds any additional sources of catalogs online, please add them here.
In addition, there are a few publications - some of them online- that discuss scanning as all or part of their coverage, and are linked here.
