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.

@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

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
