I have no problem separating scanning equipment from Ham radio equipment. However, most of the Ham gear I see on the market today, has extended receive capabilities well outside the Ham bands (Wideband Receive). Here is a perfect example of what I mean: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/ht/1007.html
" Enjoy wideband receive from 530 kHz to 1299.995 MHz (less cellular) in AM/FM/WFM modes."
My question is why, if they obviously want you to use their Ham gear to listen to PD/FD/EMS etc., then why don't manufacturers include the proper tuning steps, especially given the fact that narrowbanding is creeping in slowly upon us?Just curious if anyone had any opinions on the subject. This has been on my mind for a while. I have plenty of scanning gear both analog and digital. This is just an observation and a curiosity more than anything.
