Rural area but still active, everything in the 150mhz +/- range. Zero trunking, digital, etc. I use a PRO-83 HH which I recently dug out of the spares box when I moved here. But man, did scanner manufacturers buy a zillion unreadable LCD displays with orange backlights 25 years ago? So instead of maybe updating a PRO-83 or BC125 type radio with a...

I know that traffic is also carried in 159.795, but that signal is not as strong as 151.010 where I live in Northfield. Does anyone know if 151.010 is no longer used for this purpose? Thanks.

I am getting a wide range of recommendations from licensed ham radio operators (general class and above) - ranging from not grounding the antenna at all (rationale: the likelihood of a lightening strike is low, given the presence of tall trees around my house) to mounting a panel outside the side of my house where I feed a ground wire and coax cable (the latter has a lightening arrester attached to it). I am... Read more View article »
