Meet the Scanner Master Staff!
 Richard Barnett
Founder and President
Rich's love of radio communications and scanners began as a youngster when he first eyed the flashing LED’s of a Regency scanner in a friend’s home. Monitoring the local public safety agencies instilled in Rich a great respect for the jobs police and firefighters perform. Soon, Rich's first scanner would be the Bearcat III. On February 5th, 1978, the day the great "Blizzard of '78" began, Rich, a young teen, sold his first batch of Scanner Master frequency guides to You Do It Electronics in Needham, MA (where his books are still sold today). Later Rich expanded his line of books to cover the northeast and later the nation with Monitor America. In the mid 90's, Rich teamed with Gene Hughes of Police Call and became editor of that best-selling line of frequency guides. Rich co-holds numerous patents on scanners and other consumer-electronics technologies and he works closely with scanner manufacturers in scanner development. Rich also partners with Butel of Holland to develop high-end scanner software applications for news media and government and he spends time in Europe and Asia each year sourcing scanners and accessories for his customers. Rich has also joint-ventured with Lindsay Blanton of RadioReference.com, the ultimate communications data resource. Scanner Master has become, over these past 30+ years, one of the largest scanner dealers in the world. Rich is proud of his team at Scanner Master and their strict focus on scanners, selling and supporting the product for state and local government, federal agencies, the military, news media, industrial accounts and of course radio hobbyists. Besides a continuing effort to support scanners and scanner customers in any way possible, Rich's latest project is the National Police Scanner Museum, currently under construction at the Scanner Master offices in Natick. Stay tuned for more information. |
