Hey transmission 1 i just been listening to this frequencie 167.475 on my UBC72XLT im confused what it exactly is it sounded like Air control tower at first but it also sounds like either CB,Ham or a Taxi Firm hmm im trying to keep listening in to see if i can pick anything out.

Taxi firm, I just had a listen and she was giving pick up details to a driver.

Are u in bradford yourself? if so what antenna are u using? i believe i picked this frequency up when i drove past haha! but i just realised i had san diego police open in my browser silly me but im suprised u can hear it, i guess its a culprit im using a handheld UBC72XLT but yeah.

I'm about 15 miles away from Bradford. I'm using a Kenwood TM-V71 radio with a D-Original X200 dual band home base antenna.

I dont know if u could reccomend me a place to start on base stations the kenwood looks brilliant for scanning im pretty new in the field what exactly does it scan? it looks like a CB scanner haha anyways for the antenna wise i can't seem to find anywhere to buy that d-original would u know where i could buy a antenna like it? thanks blue

It's an amateur radio transceiver and antenna. I bought it from http://www.lamcommunications.net/index.php?cPath=78_82

u say its a transceiver but is it also a reciever yes? and can it pick up regular shopwatches etc like taxi firms well we confirmed that but yeah i dont have a amateur radio license but that doesnt really matter if im not transmitting if im correct. thanks blue

Also a question for everyone here i just saw the BCD536HP scanner that i can pick up from around the 300-400 brand new range Would the homepatrol thingy work in the uk? or wouldnt that be a option as i believe i have to get it imported from the US

Yes it would work, but the unit is meant to be connected to the internet to download frequencies. 90% of it's features would be useless here.

An imported BCT15 would be a better buy.

In radio terminology, a transceiver means a unit which contains both a receiver and a transmitter.
