Ah, I was hoping for something chinky to buy.

you can get radios that do it from China

but they aren't that cheap

I bought a baofeng uv-5r from amazon, same price as ali but ships from the UK

should be here tomorrow

you can sometimes find tecsuns cheaper and for what they do at how small they are it's pretty good value I'd say

if all you want to do is snoop on people like @Transience#0182 is

👍

i got a Baofeng UVB2 probably 6months ago but i couldnt figure out how to listen in on peoples conversations after an hour or 2 i gave up

How much better would they work for listening in, compared to tbe uv-5r?

I don't own a Tecsun so I can't say, I know they're heavily memed in ham radio circles though

for being so portable yet powerful as a LW/SW scanner

this looks badass tbh

I have some super vintage German comm radio I found in the woods as a kiddo.

yeah those are cool, I had an old Realistic scanner but I sold it

not as many things to snoop around my area

Found the sucker. 👍

very aesthetic

I wonder if it can pick anything up.

Might save me $25.

I mean, it might be busted. I never even tried powering the thing up.

radio waves don't really change so I'd imagine so if it works

Well sure, if the thing actually still works.

this is the kind I had

@Deleted User @augo stop bloating <#287939846662651906> 😡 😡 😡

More bloated than linux kernel tbh

Oh yeah, Gongtian arrived today

but I suspect it isn't the 2016 edition, still good though. KZ ZS5's are decent but no nigger bass so grr and those cable organizers are great so imma sell the other two i got for a few quid

the Orico one?

mine hasn't shown up yet

yes the orico ones.

should be here within this week, if not shout at yodel those niggers

what's a good chink equivalent of something like the scarlett 2i2?

^ this is something I'm interested to know too

I've got a friend to try a behringer umc2 but it was shit and had no drivers

no proper drivers at least

there's none really, but they're very cheap on the used market
