Can any of you guys direct me to an operator who can do a scan of the VHF range for me? I am looking specifically for a range that is probably not being used in normal channels. I think it is around 228., but not sure, which is why I am looking for a full range scan of old technology. Any guidance I can get in layman terms will be greatly appreciated.

222-225 MHz is the Amateur (Ham) radio 1.35m (135cm) band
225-380 MHz is the UHF military aircraft and satellite band.
What is it that you're looking for?

Thanks for the info. That is what I thought. Do you know someone that I can have run the scan I am looking for. I can't afford to buy the equipment to finish my research.

There are no frequency ranges that aren't being used in some fashion, by someone, somewhere. Just because you or I or someone else can't hear anyone locally, doesn't mean that a specific frequency or frequency range isn't being used somewhere else, outside of your receiving range.

I am just looking for someone to do a simple scan for me. Astak tried to send me to a worm hole. My virus software prevented it. Bad karma. Can you help me?

I scanned the website with a bunch of online tools and found no problems. I don't think there's any "worm hole" in Astak's signature.

As for your request, I think you need to be more specific. Exactly what frequency range do you want scanned and what exactly are you looking for?

225 - 243.00 MHz
• Military

and what the heck is a "Worm hole" on a website? never heard of that........



you call your request "research" im curious now... you spilled the beans, go ahead and open the can!
