What FAQ??

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

Interesting URL - thanks for the reference.

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.

Ooops, appologies I was wrong. Most of my radio gear is in storage as I am
moving house at the moment so was unable to check and posted blind - me bad.

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.

Fair point - should have looked before I opened my mouth.

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...
