... Realistic UHF Direct Entry Programmable AM/FM Scanning Receiver 400 Channel PRO 2005

No manuals and I havn't a clue how to work it or even what it does, can I listen to Radio 1 or something? :rolleyes:

Help?


(And, should this be in another forum? I'm not sure.)
 
A scanning receiver is going to test frequencies one at a time until it finds something audible. It will pause there for a moment and you can lock the frequency in if it is something you want to listen to. It should be able to pick up all all radio frequencies as well as the higher television stations.

Turn it on and see what it does! You might be able to pick up police band and ET. :)

Pic?

Skyfall, don't be a punk. :p
 
I do apologise for my apparently profane outburst but the operating manual is but a simple google away.

Makes no sense to ask here when the information is freely and easily available. I thought I was helping people, I thought people might want to be able to solve problems/find information for themselves.

nvm
 
You'll bew able to listen to allsorts with it, police frequencies (which iirc is illegal), you can also pick up aircraft, seacraft, mountain rescue, army, navy, RAF, infact pretty much anything that passes radio waves, including old analogue telephone calls (if anyone still uses the very old mobile phones.

a very rough channel guide...

Thanks but the operating maunal is about as much use a chocolate teapot because I can only find one for a different model which means I cant follow the directions
 
theres not much out there now.... listening to the police used to be great.... now you can only get the fire brigade out of the emergency services and thats pretty boring :(
 
wont get police anymore other than some really low mlvl traffic..they all use coded radios now . But get cordless phones (old style) baby monitors taxis and aircraft if yer close to a airport .

Persil
