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

2016-07-10 23:26:23 UTC  

different kinds of static

2016-07-10 23:26:28 UTC  

so there's something there

2016-07-10 23:26:32 UTC  

try a different signal range perhapse?

2016-07-10 23:26:32 UTC  

I just hear distortion

2016-07-10 23:26:41 UTC  

I've tried 125-130mhz

2016-07-10 23:26:49 UTC  

maybe its encrypted or some shit

2016-07-10 23:26:52 UTC  

and 445-460

2016-07-10 23:26:56 UTC  

and you need a special thing to decrypt the static

2016-07-10 23:27:10 UTC  

how do they do radio freq encryption

2016-07-10 23:27:43 UTC  

I was thinking maybe these channels are empty

2016-07-10 23:27:47 UTC  

because it's past midnight

2016-07-10 23:27:51 UTC  

a lot of these are businesses

2016-07-10 23:27:55 UTC  

but I've been scanning since 11pm

2016-07-10 23:28:00 UTC  

surely something would come through

2016-07-10 23:28:03 UTC  

especially a lot of them are taxis

2016-07-10 23:28:13 UTC  

idk maaaaannn

2016-07-10 23:28:44 UTC  

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

>Channel Pro-2005

It's just a scanner, not a transceiver

2016-07-10 23:30:10 UTC  

is this a chink scanner?

2016-07-10 23:30:20 UTC  

that you're using..

2016-07-10 23:30:26 UTC  

No, radio shack originally

2016-07-10 23:30:43 UTC  

rebadged for the Uk

2016-07-10 23:31:12 UTC  

I always thought Realistic was an American brand tbh

2016-07-10 23:31:28 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:31:37 UTC  

Ah, I see

2016-07-10 23:32:23 UTC  

@zero what do you usually troubleshoot? PCs?

2016-07-10 23:33:06 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:33:47 UTC  

got a manual radio

2016-07-10 23:33:53 UTC  

trying to modify to a shortwave

2016-07-10 23:34:26 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:35:06 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:35:27 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:35:34 UTC  

I just got out of there as fast as I could

2016-07-10 23:38:39 UTC  

reading the manual now, brb

2016-07-10 23:38:58 UTC  

Good luck

2016-07-10 23:39:20 UTC  

the actual troubleshooting for these things online feels very limited

2016-07-10 23:39:40 UTC  

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

2016-07-10 23:40:24 UTC  

right, I can do this
