2.45 to 2.55Ghz are VERY popular with airborne and ENG people...this RX
misses that VERY important part of the band....Eddie

It's a battery-eating piece of junk

I disagree. The batteries on all pocket tv's I ever had always ran down
that
quick.

If you're comparing it to an audio-only scanner, then yes, it eats
batteries,
but if you're comparing it to a pocket tv, it's comparable and not a
battery
eating piece of junk.

The RCVR totally misses the "Video"
portion of the band by stopping at 2.450Gigs

that is true as far as I know since I read that bby a lot of people. So I
was
wondering, exactly what are the frequencies of the video portion of the
band
(including the frequencies that the R3 doesn't cover)???

I'm not familiar with the allocations. I only have a general allocation
chart
here.

The overall performance is
rather poor

agreed. for the 2.4 GHZ range of the R3

The control setup is hard to work with.

It was real hard for me to learn, but once I learned it, it's pretty easy,
although I still have to occasionally look up things in the manual that I
forget because I don't use those functions much.
