218 - The Advantages of Multiple Scanners - a podcast by Phil Lichtenberger
from 2022-02-22T09:00
Joe Curtis returns to the podcast this week to share how he uses multiple scanner radios.
We also discuss a recent national event that happened outside his door.
What You Need To Know
- Joe uses a Unication G4 to listen to public safety
- He also uses a SDS 100 as his go-to scanner
- The SDS100 makes a great do-all scanner since it covers 25Mhz to 1.3Ghz
- The SDS also supports analog, P25, and multiple trunking modes.
- One of the benefits of having multiple radios is the ability to be flexible and to beable to keep an ear on events unfolding in real-time and not missing that transmissions.
- There is nothing wrong with only owning one scanner, but once you put that radio in the scan, the chances of missing a conversation or transmission or something urgent that goes out over another frequency increases, especially when that scanner stops on another transmission.
- Scanner Radio is a hobby, and that’s what we all should treat it as. If you have fun listening to different things, go with the flow. I do a lot of searching for new frequencies because you can find interesting stuff out there if you search for frequencies.
- Many people have old scanners that are just sitting collecting dust but take it out because some of those older scanners will still serve a purpose even in this day and age where a lot of stuff is digital.
- The ability to have one radio is excellent, but once you start adding or multiplying your enjoyment of the hobbies, it becomes much more enjoyable.
