Handheld: VR-500
Tabletop: VR-5000 wrote in message news  I once had a scanner that could get shortwave but it was a godawful performer on SW. (selectivity and sensitivity) The main thing I bought it for is that I passed through OJ's old housing project in San Francisco on a bus and I saw a buncha kids selling something on the street using cell phones and the scanner I got was one of the last ones sold in the U.S. that got cell phones without any modifications. I also thought maybe I would hear about a merger or something and I could do some insider trading and get rich. Two weeks of listening to "honey I'll be home in half an hour" and "we've got a TV repair order at 252 Balboa Street" did more to turn me off cell phone monitoring than any number of laws. I don't need to say this here but don't say anything that you don't want the word to hear when talking on a cell phone or a wireless phone connected to a landline. At one time, I could pick up what I think was a restaurant reading credit cards just past 1600 kHz and I recently picked up a neighbor at the low end of the FM band (second harmonic) but she was just talking about TV programming and other banal stuff. |
