[Scan-DC] How to scan for auctioneers wireless audio?

[Clegg, Andrew W.]

A lot of these wireless microphones use wideband FM in UHF TV band channels. Most scanners leave out most of the UHF tv band, and most scanners that are not designed to listen to fm broadcasts leave out wideband fm mode. A couple that come to mind that cover the entire UHF band and include wideband fm are the aor8200 and the icom R20.
