scaner

Wed Jun 30 05:40:26 AKDT 2004

The Aerospectra unit is the best I have seen but it is no longer available.
It sold for $825. You can still check it out on the web. I sold mine for
less than $400 on EBAY so I could buy an ICOM R3 reciever which has a lot
more capability. I have about $360 in the R3. It is not what I call user
friendly. I have ordered a PC based programmer for$60 from the Netherlands
that I hope will simplify that task.

The reason the R3 is so complicated is that it covers up to 2.5 Ghz
including  TV but excluding the cell phone frequencies. It is a very small
package (shirt pocket) with 15 hours between recharging.
