Hello to All. my question is Why Scanners today are so Limited ?
scanners operate in 25-512, 758-824, 849-869, 894-960, and 1240 - 1300. where is the HF ?
and scanners only demodulate AM, FM, WFM. Digital Also. more on that later.
I have a ICOM R-30, its continuous from 10 khz to 1.3 Ghz. (cellular blocked). and it Demodulates CW, LSB, USB as well. Including the Latest Digital Modes. my ICOM does HF.
Even my old AOR 1500 could do CW, LSB, USB and was Continious to 1300.
furthermore Even modern Digital Scanners like the SDS100 lack SSB ability as well as missing out on all the HAM digital modes like D-star, dPMR, D-CR, TETRA, EJ-47 GMSK, Yeasu FUSION.
also, scanners have very limited in Tuning Steps and not very adaptable for listening to HAM radio in general.
and scanners are not capable of listening to HF or tuneing it properly.
Scanners re pretty basic, with just ONE scan mode, My ICOM can Voice Scan and Auto Memory Write, It has multiple scan and search modes. some aided with GPS.
It is 2018, so why is Uniden still using a cable and a Hockey Puck GPS ?
the ICOM has built in GPS and Bluetooth Audio. the GPS can track Towers you have programmed in wethin 100 miles of your position. so, when did Scanner company get so lazy ?
