Default RE: Frequency Scanner
ORIGINAL: Turbulence

Just found the new toy that is a MUST have. I use the Icom R2 scanner but I also just purchased this one for the heck of it. I have to say Range is only about 300
feet unless you buy the optional antena, but something is better than nothing,

I just won one of these at my club's fly in last Saturday. I didn't have any AAA batteries at the field but I did test it in the garage briefly this morning. It picked up my tx on channel 49 as it scanned by my channel and the LED stayed lit. When I shut off the TX, the channel 49 LED went out on the next pass of the scanner. I can't wait to test it out with multiple frequencies in use. I'm going to buy the external antenna for it.
