new to scanning
Hi and welcome to the "frey"....
Yeah we're all having a ton of fun out here (Hear).. I'm kind of new too- - about 8 months and still discovering so much, so much about this hobby of ours. I've bought a new scanner, a Uniden BC898T which I have so much to learn about but in the meantime I'm listening to the cops everywhere in my neighborhood and sometimes about 20- 25-miles away - it's a ton of fun, I'll tell ya...Especially on Friday nights when the domestic disputes start up and go absolute wild until 2 - 3 AM. Then all's Quiet. Which is the boring part. Then there is the occasional bear sighting (called into the cops) in my (near) backyard which is always good to know about since I let my dogs outside a lot. And I don't want them to get eaten or beat up up by a bear. So I get a "heads up" and call 'em in quick.
Anyway, stay tuned, watch this site closely...I check out the daily posts in the Forum ...just for fun - (that's how I found out about you) - and don't be shy about asking any question you like - nobody will be critical of you...Everybody's very helpful,.... very helpful. I've asked a lot of questions already. And got a lot of quality answers.
Radio folks are the best on Earth - believe me. You've got a family of friends here.A very wise, experienced family of friends.
I don't have much else to offer but.....
"Stay tuned," turn up that squelch until the static starts, then back off a bit. Turn up the volume and...Welcome, my friend.....
SIncerely,
Bill
