What a great place this is!
I used to really be into scanning on my old Steepletone many moons ago (which I still have), and it was brilliant. I'd spend hours just turning the dial and seeing what I could find; anything would do as long as it was understandable.
I missed those days and thought I should get into it again. The Steepletone seemed a little old fashioned, so I plumped for a Uniden Bearcat XLT125.
What? something that scans for you that doesn't require small turns of the tuning wheel?
Amazing! What a world of change that is! To see the frequency without trying to dissect each one on a dial was a world away from what I got started with, and I imagine what most of you began with too! Isn't it great!
Well, I got my Bearcat unprogrammed. I had it in my mind that I should do things myself; discover what is around me, plot frequencies in a spreadsheet with comments as to what they might be. What a wonderful little toy this has become, and I'm delighted to be back active again.
Anyway, sorry for the long message, I'm Lonsdale and was new, then not, now am again and I'm loving it. All the best!
