Cheers Brad for the useful info !. Yeah, it's getting a very complicated
scene out there. When i started scanning (Aircraft mainly) about 20 years
ago, there was just AM/NFM/WFM and SSB (USB/LSB/CW). I was scanning on a
Signal R532 ! (beauty !). No digital, airwave, tetra, motorolla, DAB blah
blah !!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers
Andy

So would a "digital Scanner" be able to pick up the digital radio (DAB)
which is broadcast on or around 225MHz and be intelligible to listen to
?.
I'm assuming normal DAB is not encrypted ?

Cheers

Nope. That's a whole different digital mode again, and different to the
sound on digital tv and different to the digital pay tv. Sorry.

Brad.

Just plain old AM and FM.

But we have to keep up with the times or end up scraping off the moss

Babbage's Engine) - now I write computer programs.
