QUOTE: Originally posted by smalling_60626 May I impose on you guys, since you obviously know what you're talking about-- My new Radio Shack scanner ($80 plus S&H) is a disappointment. It 's supposed to have all the frequencies from around 100 to the 800's. I guess in theory it DOES, but I can't get to them! When I try to hit the RR 160 MHz, the radio "forwards" from about 157 to the 180s. Why on earth, since it's *** difficult to program everything one wants into a bank? My friend says it's that RR programming is not key for most scanner users (unlike, say, emergency units or even NASCAR). If I laid out more money, could I get a scanner that goes through the whole gamut of what it covers, including 158 to 180s and on to 800's (without cellular, of course.) [:(]
