*** WANTED (Scanners) ***

Post by lukey_088 »

Hello guys and gals,

I am looking for a uhf scanner under $100, the more baisc the better.
I was telling my pop on christmas about all my scanning gear and i got him interested.
All i want to put on there for him is the police, ambos and firies. as i live in a small
town in QLD we will have analog for a bit longer yet so i think he will like it.

Open to any thing you may have

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Luke,

First of all, what town do you live in? Others then may be able to suggest frequencies and stuff as well.

Secondly are you looking for a new or a second hand scanner? I haven't been keeping up to date with prices of new ones lately, but I'm not sure you'd be able to get one for under $100, so you may be looking at a second hand pre-loved one ;)

OK thanks Luke. As it happens I have a mate in Dalby which isn't too far from you I understand.

Can't really help with obtaining a radio, but if it was frequencies you were after then I was going to see what info my mate had. But it sounds like you're set up for that anyway.

Thanks Zebedee,

I'd still be interested in the ones he has actually, I receive our freq's from the bunya mountains, and i don't pick up much dalby stuff. If you speak with him in the near future id be interested to know where there repeaters are, i must admit i haven't looked into them much, i look more for my town and the Toowoomba Region.

Thanks again,
Luke

Well done, I'm sure he'll be happy with that. It looks like it services most of the common frequency bands with perhaps the exception of the air band. But if he's not really interested in that, then it's no big deal (and from what you said, police, fire and ambos are what you want to program in for him anyway.)
