Scanners

[Ali]

Hmm think I need to ponder about this some more, the need for a licence to use this radio brings the price up to the scanner price range anyway.
Many of the people chatting about these radios all say its difficult to set up, some taking two days to find the info and set up stuff, needing to by program leads etc, plus the distance for transmit can be limited by hills, mountains etc.
I just want to hear whats going on, not discuss and inadvertantly give my location away.
So i'm looking for a scanner that picks up everything - wide mhz range with AM-FM-VHF-UHF ETC. Who knows what stuff frequences might be jammed out!
