no thx

did you finish the welcome video @Phatique?

@Deleted User you're getting the uv-5r?

FUCK I FORGOT

been on a this is england marathon today

I might slib, trying to get the scanner working

so not the top of the line one?

is the scanner busted?

I think I'm doing something wrong

I have it scanning, it stops on channels but all I hear is static

volume dial is way below 11

move it outside?

could it be related to signal?

all the signals I see online have a TX and RX frequency

there's nothing I can see in here to make this do that

but maybe I'm missing something

I programmed in to scan between 445mhz and 460mhz

this is england 88 ep 1 was fucking shit

does it get better?

it stops on distortion

but I can't make much out

look up a pdf of the manual

I am, hold on

http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/doc45/45532.htm

this is what I'm following

LIMIT SEARCH

The limit search procedure allows you to search within a range of
frequencies. You can store up to ten limit search ranges in the search
banks.

1. Press [PROGRAM], and the search bank number in which you wish to store
the limit search range. Press [0] for bank number 10.

2. Press [LIMIT]. "L" and the search bank number appears in the display.

3. Enter the lower limit of the frequency range. Then, press [ENTER].

4. Press [LIMIT]. "L" changes to "H" in the display.

5. Enter the upper limit of the frequency range. Then, press [ENTER].

6. Repeat steps 1-5 to store the limit search range into the search
banks. You can store up to 10 limit-search ranges.

7. To recall a limit-search range, press the appropriate bank number.

8. Press [UP-ARROW] to search from upward starting from the lower
limit. Or, press [DOWN-ARROW] to search from the upper limit to the
lower limit.

9. When the scanner stops on a transmission, press [MONITOR] to store the
frequency in the current monitor memory. The memory number flashing on
the display indicates the current monitor memory.

10. Press [UP-ARROW] or [DOWN-ARROW] to continue the search.

I did this

so the low and high frequency

press every single fuckin button

@zero do you know anything about these?

im just wondering if tin foil will be a good enough antenna for an fm reciever

are you getting errors or is it just not reposning? and no, not a clue, but i am a professional troubleshooter for hire

and if i can mod it to get to HAM freqs

no errors, it lands on a signal but all I hear is static

different kinds of static

so there's something there

try a different signal range perhapse?

I just hear distortion

I've tried 125-130mhz

maybe its encrypted or some shit

and 445-460

and you need a special thing to decrypt the static

how do they do radio freq encryption

I was thinking maybe these channels are empty

because it's past midnight

a lot of these are businesses

but I've been scanning since 11pm

surely something would come through

especially a lot of them are taxis

idk maaaaannn

I asked /out/ and /k/, no one replied really lel

>Channel Pro-2005

It's just a scanner, not a transceiver

http://forums.radioreference.com/radio-shack-scanners/166392-radio-shack-pro-97-scanner-problem.html

is this a chink scanner?

that you're using..

No, radio shack originally

rebadged for the Uk

I always thought Realistic was an American brand tbh

Yeah, it probably is, it just pops up as a radio shack scanner more often than most

Ah, I see

@zero what do you usually troubleshoot? PCs?

no, it was more of a joke, i just jimmy-rig shit usually,

got a manual radio

trying to modify to a shortwave

i've got zero experience with radios other than propper radio communication ettiquette

i'm still looking around to see if there's any similar problems with other radios not picking up anything

I should have had the guy show me how to use it

I just got out of there as fast as I could

reading the manual now, brb

Good luck

the actual troubleshooting for these things online feels very limited

because ham radio guys are all troubleshooting for each other on radio

right, I can do this

operation SNOOP ON TAXIS engage

comfy i think imma just buy the baofeng

wasn't trying to convince you otherwise m8

never said you were

just letting you know

might still look to get a license

do they let 14 year olds do it?

you saw the video of the kids doing it

im sure

yeah I might go along with this radio and see if those old fucks can help me

a butterfly knife?

shoeonhead with a new video and shes wearing a sexy dress

>nice

erusia wtf are you on about

HAM Radio

just ignore me, i read baofeng as balisong

lol

ive got a butterfly comb

did someone move me into the radio show lobby?

i would love a good actual butterfly knife

i dont have a pocket knife on me right now

returned the Ganzo

ordered a Rat II

>butterfly knives are banned in australia because petrol niggers would kill themselves all the time to due room temperature IQ

how would they ever find it?

the chinks never list it as a knife anyway

on customs form

australian customs opened up my practice knife i got a year ago to check it

metal detectors and shit

parcel arrived open

had good fun untill it broke too

are the blade rules there bad too

or are they local

you can import any knife so long as it's not a trench knife or anything with a spirng/flick blade or two sided

as far as owning those knives you can own them under the claim that they're antuique and you're a collector

Zoltan had enough of our shit

you may need to register with the po-po to do that after so many knives

idk whats the reasoning behind banning two sided blades, like it's no less deadly than a one sided knife

other than their sole purpose is being a weapon

yeah it's silly since i can pick up a hunting knife from the victoria market

ay

you can pick up heaps of shit here if you know the right people

>buying a knife is like buying illicit drugs in ayyystralia

@Stickmakerman we have the same profile picture hmm hmmm

there are stores which just sell knives

like legit shops

:^)

mainly camping shops and shit

9 days

going to list mixer on ebay

if any of you want to buy it go ahead

its a behringer XENYX q1202usb

oh yeah, slib, what model was the walkman?

ah ill check

1 sec

wm-fx465

ah

from late 90s i think

http://i.imgur.com/gLdbJiS.png

AARL people

I give up

go to the ham assoc.

I'll ask on ham radio forums tomorrow

isnt the ham assoc right next door

bus trip away

I moved it closer to the window

but it seemed about the same

I'm starting to worry I got chinked by a britbong

what if this is trying to pick up signals that don't exist anymore?

http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=BEHRINGER+XENYX+QX1002USB&_sacat=&_ex_kw=&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_sop=12&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=&rmvSB=true

how much should i list this for

granted no box

and found in a dump

are you selling yours?

clean mint condition however

yeah

I thought you were phantom power autist

i found it for free

but that makes no sense, he got it for uni

No i happened to notice that this one supplies phantom power

i never came here for 800 mic info

we talked about that a while ago

yeah, I lose track of the amount of people who come in and out of here

Granted:
1) Found in a e-waste center with no box (no warranty unless company doesn't need info on box)

2) No selling history

What should I sell for

65?

probably will set a bid for 50

aren't there places locally you can hawk it?

probably'll is probably the worst contraction I've ever made

hm thats a better idea. never thought about that

maybe i can sell it to my dads friend who is an audiophile/musician

looking at craigslist

does it work? did you test it?

lights up

assuming it works based on how new it is

I can test it more throughly

with a guitar

hold on i think i have a shitty walmart guitar in my closet

might be worth keeping around for youtube videos or music projects

yeah

you know you've bought a quality instrument when it runs off of a 9v

can you test it with any other things?

assuming the pickups on that guitar are trash you may get varied reults on it's playback

I mean i can plug a stereo cable into anything as an output and record to a computer

ill try an expensive guitar

brb

it might actually be good to keep since i can record basically anything to usb

idk about the quality

well it's a behringer, i'm not sure it quality would be bad to begin with assuming it works well

god i hate the shitty aliasing lines that happen in AVCHD

damn that looks nice

That's like the knife equivalent of gaymur mice

I've never seen any gaymur mice with ancient chinese coins embedded in them

You didn't look hard enough

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/50pcs-lot-Stainless-Steel-Multifunction-Pocket-Card-Tools-Outdoor-Travel-Survival-Camping-Credit-Card-Tool-With/32301090922.html

this is mire akin to the R.A.T

rat isn't even a gaymur mice

That's just pure fucking edge

are you 100% sure about that

Yeah

I don't know, doesn't Madcatz make it now?

RIP Madcatz

It's more edgy than gaymur

I think on a venn diagram there's a huge crossover between edgemasters and gaymurs

BLACK & RED GEAR

Yeah but compare the edgyness of logitech and razer mice to that fucking abomination

NZ servers for Pokemon GO are on the shits right now

logitech sits right in the middle

And it makes me sad because I was trying to take a gym, was "bloody recking him mate", and the game wouldn't register shit

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong here anymore

I just found out how to go to the EXACT frequency I want

down to the digit

still static

I hope this isn't broken

did you have a look at that link i posted ages ago?

for the 97?

i know it's not the 2005

but it might be helpful

I'll take a look

Amateur radio autists are as rambly and meandering as an Awful Reviews video

20 minutes repeating themselves over and over

or talking over tons of other radios blaring over them

I'll go to a ham radio meeting and see if they can teach me anything

Why would you choose live rambling over rambling from a computer screen?

Because maybe one of them can fix my scanner

with their hands

lewd

I just tuned to a normal UK FM radio station

static

so something is fucked

I wondered because he immediately took off the antenna and handed it to me

you got bonged

when are the radio shows on?

i have never seen or heard one

which radio shows?

for csg

Next week most likely, I missed this week

too busy

you can hear episode 2 still

https://soundcloud.com/chineseshoppingradio/episode-two

hope you enjoy m8y

this music is lovely

>linking to episode 2

is that a bad one?

Let's be honest it was a massive step down compared to 1

that reminds me, I need to reupload episode 1

including links to the products discussed would be a good adition to the info down the bottom

Yeah I want to do that for the next one

i see the xiaomi laptop now

http://www.banggood.com/Xiaomi-Laptop-Intel-Core-i7-8G-DDR3-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-760M-15_6-Inch-p-941729.html

It was up for pre-order shortly after the podcast

at the time it was a leak
