In terms of tv scanning what frequencies are you using, are you just listening for audio? Or are you using a tv hooked up an antenna to receive the stations?

In terms of tv scanning what frequencies are you using, are you just listening for audio? Or are you using a tv hooked up an antenna to receive the stations?

TV yes. Channels 2-6, 54-88 MHz.

 

[Dispatrick]

TV yes. Channels 2-6, 54-88 MHz.

WFM or FM recommended?

 

[217]

WFM or FM recommended?

Not sure what you are asking. I keep the tv on analog 2 most of the time. The tv is auto squelched until it gets some audio signal. If your gonna do 54-88 without a tv, you have to locate the audio carrier frequency as channel 2 uses 54-60.

 

[W8UU]

If your gonna do 54-88 without a tv, you have to locate the audio carrier frequency as channel 2 uses 54-60.

VHF-TV Audio Carrier Frequencies:

• Channel 2 ... 59.75 MHz
• Channel 3 ... 65.75 MHz
• Channel 4 ... 71.75 MHz
• Channel 5 ... 81.75 MHz
• Channel 6 ... 87.75 MHz
• Channel 7 ... 179.75 MHz
• Channel 8 ... 185.75 MHz
• Channel 9 ... 191.75 MHz
• Channel 10 ... 197.75 MHz
• Channel 11 ... 203.75 MHz
• Channel 12 ... 209.75 MHz
• Channel 13 ... 215.75 MHz

Use Wideband FM settings if you have that option.
