Hi everybody,

I have possibly a very naive question.

I enjoy my SONY ICF-SW7600G shortwave "world" radio which covers from
150kHz-29.999kHz in AM and 76MHz-108MHz in FM. My Radio Shack PRO-97
scanner covers some but, alas, *not* all of the frequencies from
25MHz-1300MHz.

Can I get a handheld scanner which would cover *all* of 150kHz-1300MHz
in AM and FM or, better, even a wider spectrum (again - with nothing
missing)? That would, in effect combine my ICF-SW7600G with an
(improved) PRO-97 into one unit.

I realize that this would include TV stations, and God knows what else.
But I don't like the idea of not having access to all the spectrum and
I would prefer only 1 receiver (even if that means plenty of antennas
depending on what I want to tune in).

Trunking, 1000+ channels and 10+ banks would also be a plus.

A built-in spectum analyzer would be really, really, really cool too!

Any reccomendations?

Thanks,

TN

Alinco DJ-X200 has more features than you can shake a stick at, including a
spectrum analyzer, bug sniffer, frequency counter and auto freq logging.
At this point in time, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a full featured
handheld like this that also has trunking abilities ... But that is likely
not too far in the furutre.
