Hi I am a 82 year old just bought a whistler trx1e a week ago trying to keep myself mentally active. Getting somewhere using a old slimjim all band antenna from the early 90,s and have a moonraker 25 metre longwire a Watson super gainer. Back in the early 90,s still have Icom 10 . Well at the moment all I get is airways . So I hope that this website could help me . I expect someone may think I a little crazy to buy this complex scanner.
I live 4 miles from Eastbourne thanks in advance for any help

Welcome to TM1. Scanning isnt my thing at the moment and I don't envy anyone getting into that part of the hobby nowadays with all the digital modes and such out there, so more power to you.

I look forward to hearing about your experiences on the bands.

Once again, Welcome to TM1!

Hi did not have the the internet to help me to use my icom 10 to it's full potential, so when I went on line in 1996 I got distracted big time . I have a tecsun s2000 very easy to listen to hf thanks for your reply .

Welcome to TM1 and the digital age meaning there is not a great deal to listen to on the scanner these days. I miss the 90's listening to the police and mobile phones
