: : : I was wondering something.
: : : I want to pick up a Business frequency I think only covers abouts 2-3 miles.
: : : Is there any possible wayI can pick a low singal likee this up from like 24 miles away from it?
: : : I mean anyway????
: : : I answer!
: : May I suggest going to your local Radio Shack and picking up a copy of Police call,
: : www.policecall.com . It is a good source for frequencies and explaines how radio
: : systems work.
: I already have Police call plus ..
: Iwant something a little better.
go get a beam type scanner antenna and mount it on a rotor
as high up as possable , then hook your scanner
to it and rotate your rotor / beams toward the
general area of the company . if you know the
freq. then lock it on hold/ manual and you will
hear the radio traffic . adjust your beams for
best audio. the company GROVE has a nice set at
a reasonable price, they are online.
