    The Mil-UHF band is indeed a very large chunk of spectrum
    to cover.  The first thing required for searching it is PATIENCE.
    The second thing you need is TIME.  Patience and time are the
    two keys to searching mil-UHF.  It's not nescessarily an easy
    undertaking, but it is a very rewarding one (I get pretty excited
    when I find something new...)

    Unless you just get plain lucky, you're not going to find things
    as quickly in this band as you would in some of the others.  One
    of the best ideas is to break down into smaller chunks and
    search that way.  Another way is to use multiple radios, once
    again searching smaller chunks - different chunks on each radio.
    That method however, requires both more concentration and
    more money (to purchase the multiple radios).
