2.45 gHz is very popular with people who like to eat TV dinners.

It's a battery-eating piece of junk


I disagree. The batteries on all pocket tv's I ever had always ran down

that
quick.

If you're comparing it to an audio-only scanner, then yes, it eats

batteries,
but if you're comparing it to a pocket tv, it's comparable and not a

battery
eating piece of junk.

The RCVR totally misses the "Video"
portion of the band by stopping at 2.450Gigs


that is true as far as I know since I read that bby a lot of people. So I

was
wondering, exactly what are the frequencies of the video portion of the

band
(including the frequencies that the R3 doesn't cover)???

I'm not familiar with the allocations. I only have a general allocation

chart
here.

The overall performance is
rather poor


agreed. for the 2.4 GHZ range of the R3

The control setup is hard to work with.


It was real hard for me to learn, but once I learned it, it's pretty easy,
although I still have to occasionally look up things in the manual that I
forget because I don't use those functions much.
