I know why the cell bands are omitted, but why do scanners omit other frequency ranges?
I have this one scanner, a BCT-8... it jumps from 174mhz to 400mzh... completely snubbing the military air band. That's just 1 example.. there's other gaps.
My BCD996T has much better coverage, but there's some gaps with that one too.. a bunch of the 700mhz range is inaccessible -- it jumps from the 900's right to 1240Mhz.. etc.
Is there a technical reason for it, or is it legal issues, or the fact that there's nothing in some of those areas to scan, or a combination?
Thanks for any insight!
