jack68 629 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 They were fun to listen to in the 80s on a Friday/Saturday night when it was kicking of in town, but I don't think you can pick up the police any more pluss they also use mobile phones now as well...

youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 basically I use a yaesu vr 500 scanner with a yagi to track my falconry transmitter which is attached to the hawk incase I lose her out hunting. Last season it worked perfectly but when ive come to use it again ive pissed about with it and ended up having to factory reset it. now ive got the scanner so it is picking up the transmitters signal but its nowhere near as accurate as it was and needs to be, as it is it will tell me if im in the same field as the transmitter but I cant pin point it. anybody know how to change the sensitivity or whatever it is I need to do ? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
