Anyone else into scanning ?
Anyone else into scanning ?
I got into scanning many many years ago when scanners first became available. And still have a 10 channel Uniden XL50 from that time. It has no band scan just 10 channels to listen to
Currently I use a Uniden 3500 with close call. A Realistic 2006 base scanner, a ancient Realistic 200 channel handy that my daughter currently uses & an Alinco DJ-X3.
Personally I'll listen to anything but taxi drivers.

Well Alan,
I have the Yupiteru MVT-7100 Scanner in the back of the cupboard. Its very complicated to use and is quite chunky!!! I don't use it much but will get it out and start to use it again...

Re: Anyone else into scanning ?
Hi daxi
I have an Icom ICR-2 scanner.I don't use it all that much now apart from holidays to listen to marine bands etc.It is also good for sprog hunting coverage from 30khz to 1300 mhz no gaps.

Re: Anyone else into scanning ?
Yep, I'm into scanning.
I still have most of the gear I started with. AOR 2002, AOR1000, AOR900, and an Icom IC-R100.
Because of the age of my gear, finding new frequencies with the slow scan rate can take a while. But I try.

Marine band should be good there.
Air band.
Try the local amateur repeaters.
