Very few scanners don't have WFM.


According to this FAQ, looks like the majority of the NON-Trunking
"regular"
SCANNERS don't have WFM... Perhaps you get your information from some
other
planet?

What FAQ??

Sorry, forgot the URL:
http://www.strongsignals.net/access/content/model.html


Every scanner that I have has WFM - and I do not own trunking scanners -
some of my scanners have been cheap arsed pieces of ****e, some are good
quality, but all have had WFM.
Uniden 200 XLT
Uniden 220 XLT
Icom IC-R3
Winradio 1500e
Icom PCR 1000
------ All of these have WFM

Icon and Winradio are not Scanners for starters, let alone "regular"
scanners...

Perhaps your should inform those guys over at Strong Signals that their
Scanner FAQ is incorrect, or better yet, the guys over at Uniden. I'm sure
they would be interested to know how you ended up with version of their
scanners that have a feature that was never designed into the unit to start
with. Must be by some miracle that your two Uniden scanners have WFM. How
did you manage to modify them to get it? I'd bet the rest of the world
would LOVE to know. I'm sure that it would certainly become a pretty
popular mod.

Maybe 20 to 30 years ago, WFM was not available in most scanners, but as
BOG
has said, (and I hate to back him up, but here I must), very few scanners
don't have WFM.

BOG is as much uninformed as your are. You both need to research what your
talking about, because neither has a clue... Just to satisfy the ignorant,
I did some research on the current listing of scanners over at the Uniden
site... As suspected, NONE of the "regular" scanners have WFM. Matter of
fact, even a number of the Trunk-tracking scanners do not have WFM. Only
the more recent HIGHER-END scanners come with WFM.

Of the 24 scanners listed on the site, a measly 5 come with WFM... So, I
think the statements that both of you made are backwards, they should have
read, "...very few scanners [DO] have WFM.

Perhaps you could advise which new scanners do not?

Inform you, sure... The 5 listed on Uniden's site that DO HAVE WFM a
BC796D, BC785D, BC780XLT, BC296D, BC250D - THAT's IT!

Which ones DON'T? The other 19 of course, which includes MANY new models:
BC246T, BC72XLT, BC895XLT, BC898T, BC92XLT, SC230, BCT8, BCT7, BC350A,
BC350C, BC80XLT, BC60XLT-1, SC200, SC180B, BC278CLT, BC248CLT, BC245XLT,
BC244CLT, BC120XLT

In the future, maybe it would be advisable for the two of you to do some
more research before you start typing and spreading falsities all over
UseNET...
