Hi Everyone.
Two weeks ago I bought a Uniden UBC125XLT 500 channel handheld scanner so that I could listen to radio traffic in the West Fife (Carnock) area. I know the unit is working because I can pick up the ATC at Edinburgh airport when I am upstairs and using my Centre Loaded Mag Mount Antenna, but I can't pick up anything else only interference. I have searched through the channels/banks in several different rooms in my house, but still no voices.
I have Close Call set to Priority and regularly get an alarm that there is something there, but it's always just interference, I can't hear anyone speaking.
Can anyone advise me please? Am I just in the wrong area (Blind spot) or am I doing something wrong?
I'd appreciate any help.
TIA.
