BC246T Frequency Question

[fredclausen]

On my old Pro95, I was able to get the UHF military airband. It wasn't listed in the official range of frequencies covered, but using the win95 software I was able to program the frequencies and listen to them.

I'm wondering if the same is possible on the 246T? I used the ARC246 to program in the UHF frequencies, but so far I haven't been able to pick anything up. Is there an actual physical limitation of the hardware?

I realize this may have been covered before but I wasn't able to pull up much in the archives.

Thanks!

No, It is not possible to tune the Mil Air band w/ the 246t.

I realize that. Thats why I prefaced the question with "my pro 95 didn't officially cover that range either, but through the win95 software I could put the frequency and it WOULD receive it."

Thank you though.

hey this is my first post. Im looking at buying the 246T for my dad but he says that the frequency is too low and thats the higher it is the better. How much truth is there to that?
Is it that much of a big deal?

I guess they'd answer if they understood the question. Maybe you could be a bit clearer?
