Why in the world do you scan?
 

For me, it would be to be able to hear once in a lifetime transmission
that makes history. Boy it would be fun to hear Bin Laden, for
instance, right before he got hit with a missile.

What about you?

Not likely on a scanner unless you're within a few miles....

I was monitoring the Hiroshima Mayors Office on August 8 , 1945. There
was this tremendous "BOOM" and he said "What the **** was that?"

I'll never forget it.

How DO you say "what the **** was that?" in Japanese?

Amazing, that, since the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.

to see what's there.

I started out as a AM broadcast band/FM broadcast band/Shortwave Broadcast
bands listener and dx'er.

Somehow that evolved into scanning as I found out that there were even more
radio frequencies being used for radio transmissions than just AM, FM, and
Shortwave.

That's why I like my IC-R3 even despite a lot of it's shortcomings.

It covers a very wide frequency range.

It would probably be to expensivve for me to actually get a good radio for each
of the specific frequency bands that it covers.

On it, I can listen to AM broadcasts, FM broadcasts, Shortwave broadcasts, the
regular scanner bands, VHF lo, VHF air, VHF hi, UHF, and UHF-T) or watch VHF
and UHF tv broadcasts on it.

Well, I guess I won't be able to do that last one with it once all tv
transmissions are digital in another few years or so.
