- In this weeks video we look at a vintage realistic pro 2035 scanner. and also take a quick look at what you can still receive on a old analog scanner in 2020.
This is just a quick guide of what you can still receive on a analog scanner in 2020.
If you find this video useful thumb it up
As somebody who in only the last few years has got into SW/scanning etc after being into CB back in the day and is looking for something afordable yet still viable today these vids/info/review's are priceless. Many thanks for the time & trouble, it's appreciated. Great channel, keep up the good work. Respect.
Just brought a realistic pro 26 handheld so glad there’s still lots to listen to. This was the scanner I used to always look at in Tandy
Nice ! not seen one of them for years, Thanks for showing 👍
No worries
Local authority refuse collection people around here use 87mhz FM in the clear
I’ll have to listen and see what I can hear
Still get plenty to scan here in Finland and with digi scanner you get plenty to pick up, nice to see a old scanner 😀👍
Check out the RSGB VHF UHF manual for how a Discone should be built
I had this Also the Pro-2040....I used to do mods to get Cellphone Audio....the Low 30-50mhz Band Was Good for Long Distance DX ....back in the day in California
If you modify it to install a discriminator tap and hook it to a line input of a PC and run DSD plus you can do a lot more than just analog.
I've still got one of these scanners, along with an AOR 1000!
Back in the day, they were both the dog's testicles 😊
This scanner would of been a few quid back In the day my yupiteru mvt7100 was £250 in 2001 still lots then to listen to . Now days it’s mostly digital around my area
Lockout RVW is for the locked out channel review.
Had a handheld scanner for when I used to listen to *cough* Police.
Heard an increase in traffic, (And digital worble) in 1994 when London Heathrow was attacked by Mortars.
And on Christmas Eve where a police station said they ran out of milk. You could hear them turn on the siren. Nir. Nah. Nir. Nah
Did notice your BBC Micro hiding on the right corner too..
Thanks for the zip back in time.
73's
I remember when the police went digital on sw magazine the front page said end of the scanner user??
The bbc micro has had a few upgrades sd card adaptor usb and 6502 second processor and a gotek floppy drive I’ve even got it online with WiFi using bbs
Can you do video of conversation to digital
I have a Uniden Bearcat x15 with 25-1300mhz ...I can't get Police and Fire on it....but get everything else!!!
Thanks , was going to buy one but I won’t bother now because it’s not a great deal on it
Is there anyway to unlock the limited frequencies?
Great video thanks for posting 👍
Cheers
I like your video
Cheers :-)
Very informative review one question please..Is the backlight that horrid Blue as in the 2006 or the lovely Green like some of the Netsets were ....Stay safe ....
On the scanner it has a green background on the LCD display not the horrid blue like now days
Can you still get airband on this scanner with the newer 8.33 khz steps?
You can still receive air band with this scanner but you may get distorted audio if your slightly off frequency due to the 8.33khz steps to be honest I’ve never tried . All I do is set it to 108 and let it scan
No
I have the same antenna. And: It's exact the same situation here in DL. 73.
Well. ...These days the only thing that scanner is good for here in America is to listen to the weather and maybe the dog catcher.......seriously!.....the fun is over ....It looks good on your desk......that's about it......😆😆😆
Is this the moonraker v1300 discone desk antenna? How tall is it from base to tip off tallest antenna and whats the diameter at the bottom of the "cone"?
It’s the sky scan discone desktop antenna www.radioworld.co.uk/receiving___scanner_antenna/skyscan-desktop-25-2000mhz-scanner-antenna
@@2j4ez A Discones disc should be 70% of a 1/4 wave at the lowest frequency.
for 25Mhz that would be 2.1 meters each for the disc rods, and the legs 1/4 wave
for lowest frequency 25Mhz is 12 meters / 4 = 3 meters long each
I think its safe to say its not a 25MHz discone. Maybe 150MHz up
with some verticals added to help it work lower down. So its not mostly a discone
it's mostly a vertical groundplane without enough vertical or groundplane.
And people pay £50 for them? Wow!
What about the 23 cm band on 1240-1300 MHz ? Would you maybe need a Yagi antenna ? There's satellites on ham radio broadcasting on this frequently although there's not much information online.
You won't see much information online because no one is using that. These are extreme men (not women) that do tests on microwave frequencies, and they do them very rarely. It's really not a thing despite the fact that it's an option for experimentation. No one with a family and a life cares about those frequencies. So you're not missing anything.
Lockout RVW is lockout review ..check whats been blocked out 👍
Cheers now I no what it does . The scanner seems harder to use than my Alinco dxj2000
I have just started getting into scanners im new to all this,could you tell me whats best to use on a icom r 75 a long wire or a antenna on a telescopic mast ouside,i have a telescopic mast have not put it up at the moment thanks for any help you can give me.steve.
Is the icom r 75 a short wave receiver or a uhf vhf scanner??
Might be able to discriminator tap it to receive digital.
Dont be silly lad and stop telling lies lad
Can you listen to regular AM commercial radio stations? Like 510 to 1700 (or whatever the range is)
In this scanner no as it starts at 25mhz but you can listen to regular fm stations 88-108mhz to listen to am stations your want a short wave receiver
@@2j4ez Thanks! I had one of these models sitting around and I've been doing mostly AM DXing lately. I'll leave it sitting in a box until I move onto other bands.
DX 390
👍👏👏
Sorry to say but IV had a better than good running with the pl 259 than that crap you have on the back of your scanner thanks All the same
Coastguard. Not coast Gard!
So nothing to listen to
Not a lot in my area to receive on this scanner only air band and 446 and ham radio
