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

[Eric C. Carlson]

If they're using cheap VHF wireless mics, they typically operate on
one of these:
169.445
169.505
170.245
170.305
171.045
171.105
171.845
171.905

Otherwise, as already mentioned, look in TV channel spectrum.

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.
