In Reply to: Portable radios for scanning? posted by Drew on April 15, 2001 at 00:13:11:
: Does anyone use high end two way radios for scanning? Ive thought of converting some Sabers to portable scanners and run them as mobles in Convertacomms.
: Is there a market for these types of units?
: Ive allready converted a 6watt GE MPA into a recieve Unit for the State Patrol. thing picks up the smallest transmission
I use some commercial radios for scanning (Motorola, Johnson, Kenwood, etc) because they are more sensitive and selective. There might be a small market for this sort of thing if the price is right and the radios are field-programmable.
