Cheshire Fire Brigade
My scanner will only pick up extremly faint signals. I hardly can make out any voice. Is this because I need a better antenna than my standard rubber duck ariel?

RE: Cheshire Fire Brigade
Have you got it on the right mode, it's on AM. I was in Runcorn yesterday and it was fine.

RE: Cheshire Fire Brigade
I'm listening on the freq 70.775 and 80.500, that is listed on the fire freq's page. My UBC92XLT will only let me have AM on airband. My manual says that the freq range is in the FM VHF Low Band.

RE: Cheshire Fire Brigade
program the freq into the memory and select the mode for the channel programmed to AM.
Just using the quick search it won't let you decide what mode you want.

RE: Cheshire Fire Brigade
I dont think you can change the mode on the cheaper Uniden scanners, i know i can't with my 72xlt and the 92xlt is the same radio more or less.

RE: Cheshire Fire Brigade
5th Element is right. I can't change the mode on mine. Looks like I won't be able to listen to the fire brigade then.
What can you listen to on the VHF low band from 30-87 Mhz?

Maplins' 'SkyScan Dicone Desktop Ant' By MoonRaker has drastically improved my weak 70.xxx fire/amb/para comms. Although I have shoved it out the window

Re: Cheshire Fire Brigade
I know that all emergency services have gone to airwave but on the old 70.7750 on my scanner I get static on this Channel, almost like there is someone speaking.... Any ideas ?????

It's temporarily allocated to amateur radio for 12 months, for "digital experimentation"
