Scanner that covers 174 - 225Mhz

Post by elliotg »

Hi all
I am looking for advice on a radio that will cover 174 - 225Mhz? I have a UBC125XLT that covers everything else but the bus company that operate in Edinburgh are on a trunked system on NFM.

Cheers

Elliot

The 3500XLT covers that, there is a very handsome chap in the For Sale section flogging an as new one for half the price that Maplin will take off you.

I was wondering if a dongle + SDR software would do the same, and follow trunked stuff.

If translated into English that secret code is suggesting that the Uniden is sold, then it ain't.
