Mike do you remember swifts taxis in north street run by Jack & Jan Rothwell. I remember the arcades before the meridian centre was built and the shop on the end of market parade was the southdown bus office now a flower shop the old library in north street was a cinema as well before the Empire cinema. i used to love streets the ironmongers as well and dittman and malpas and even the small woolworths store opposite what is now new look.

Loved the shrug of the shoulders as the sign went up on the Hall, along with the quality filming. I bet you glean a few sound clips from this one for future productions. Thank you Mike.

Hi there, I'm a complete newbie about radios, but I'm getting into it. I’ve seen an advertisement recently that caught my eye of a Realistic 400 pro-2005. I would like to buy it, but I kind of remember watching a video saying that most of the frequencies nowadays, especially police, fire fighters, etc., are digital. I'm not sure, but I think the 400 pro-2005 is not digital, right? So, it would be fair to say this model of scanner is not that worthy anymore, isn't it? Am I correct? What could I still do with this kind of model? Thanks in advance.
@MikesMovies 17 күн бұрын
Hey there. Emergency services are no longer receivable you are correct (UK) however this scanner can still get Aircraft civil and military, shipping, PMR and a host of other services. I'd recommend you joining one of the Facebook scanner forums. This is an old but capable scanner, you might like to look at one of the new ones such as The Uniden UBC125XLT is a compact 500-channel handheld scanner, which covers 25-88MHz, 108-174 MHz, 225-512 MHz, and 806-960 MHz with 5/6.25/8.33/10/12.5kHz can be had at a low cost and have the added facility of close call whereby they can lock onto local signals. Good luck
