SRU101: Introduction to the Scanner Radio Hobby

[@rachelannkrueger7638]

My first scanner was Uniden Bearcat BC365CRS. I have a Radio shack handheld pro 89.

I listen to a handheld scanner and a Software Defined Radio

On your Scanner School playlist here on KZbin, can you reverse the order that the videos are in so that they're in chronological order instead of backwards order? Thanks.

From one of my postings only Applicable to the USA as all government, utilities, rail, emergeny servics use encrypted tetra (similar to project 25 you guys have) in the UK, most other users use DRM, so if you have a non DRM scanner all you hear is air band, prm446, marine band if you live near the coast, cb, (which is dead in the UK) and hams. most shops and most drive thoroughs also use the 2.4 Hz ism band, useing very low power.

I like the idea of walking my dog, and listening to a scanner.. As I dig deeper, all the meat and gravy I seek is encrypted in my local area.. I dont want a annolog scanner, or so I think... ??? As I explore Uniden products ( digital trunking ) I'm learning they need to be PC programmed to keep the firm ware up to date.. I'm kinda hesitant, so the old school anolog used EBay scanner starts to sound like a cheaper investment. If I stay with new technology and go SDR ( also a computer program on my spare cell phone ) How well SDR work as a scanner, portable antenna duct taped to the back of my cell phone ? Are old annolog scanners a point, click and go, or do they also require with computer programing? Thanks, stay Awsome.

So true in U.K scanners totally pointless. Don't waste your money.
