[SixClub] My "New" Radio is ON!

[Barry Bogart]

Great idea. But with my 5054, I find it just as well
to leave it on .125 rather than scanning. It finds
some high-noise frequencies here and there that stop
the SQL. If you adjust if for them so the scan
continues, I am afraid it isn't sensitive enough on
.125. I scan from 110 to 200. 

But having said that, if the band is open, there will
be some loud sigs up above .125 as well, pretty quick.


BTW the 'other channel' could record WWV. You'd get
time as well as prop cndx.

73, Barry
