I'm not sure if there are any cbidders that are saavy with radio scanners. I'm looking for a decent radio scanner that will pick up stations from around the nation, something that covers up to the 500 mhz range and has VHF and UHF. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Dude...you're what, 28? Move out of your parents' basement already.

Pac, ya bastid. You know I've been a Marine on my own for a while. Some of the best network security shows (radio) are only available on random radio frequencies. I wanna listem to them, so I thought I'd pick one up and tune in.

*listen

Mike,

You do realize that VHF and UHF are now digital in this country, right?

Not sure if anyone has a emergency radio out there with a digital converter built in.

Go shortwave, get BBC news, hear the same boring stories six times every hour. Has all the zest of a shepards pie.

Adam,

for the record, I have the same freq. knowledge as my 75 year old grandmother, lol. I researched it, but wasn't able to find the radio shows I want to listen to via the "interwebs". "Off the Hook" doesn't do it for me any more, lmao.

I honestly don't know if anyone makes an emergency radio with a digital VHF/UHF decoder in it at this point.

Might be better off posting your question to a ham radio forum - be prepared for uber-geek answers though - you think I'm bad? Those guys are worse, seriously...

Might I suggest a AN/PRC 119. I hear if you shave your head and become a stone cold killer, you will gain access to one.

Least that's what I hear from my guild leader, Gilgamed.

Yaesu,Kenwood,ICOM to name a few.

#3 Bwhahahahahahaha!

Yeah...but you can't shoot me from where you're sitting!

:)P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Careful Pacman, Marine's are legendary marksmen!! Plus I hear you are 7' 6" and 760 lbs nowadays, easy target.

HAM radio guys are freaks!

RE #11

750 lbs.

He skipped the 4pm snack (or took a dump - not sure which).

Adam, yeah, I figured. I wanted to avoid doing that. I'm a 'puter guy, don't blame me for thinking inside the box.

#11 Actually, I am now the Space Needle, so he could hit me if he could bend the shot around Mt. Rainier.

^Pac, make sure you're holding a tic with a flea on it's arse and stand by.

Breathe, relax, aim, stop, squeeze.

Then you can shoot the hemmoriod off the ass of the flea on the tick!

^look at you, ol' Devil, still remember your weapon safety rules too?

I just retired in January...

1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded.

2. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to destroy.

3. Keep your weapon on safe until ready to fire.

4. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend on killing the **** that is centered in your sights.

^Crud, I thought you had been out longer. How's civilian life treatin ya?
