![]() ![]() On airband my cheap Maycom 108 scanner is much more sensitive.The Commtel also suffers from breakthrough on airband from strong local amateur radio transmissions on 144 MHz.On the plus side, the Commtel and Realistic scanners are very cheap second hand, the batteries last a long time and they can stand a lot of abuse.My Commtel also has a matching carying case which gives it some protection against light rain.Ħ8-88 MHz (US version has 30-54 MHz instead)ġ08-174 MHz (Switches automatically to AM on airband frequencies)Ĩ06-960 MHz (US version has gaps from 824-851 MHz and 869-896 MHz to prevent access to analogue cellular frequencies) Its not a particularly sensitive scanner. It is possible to modify the coverage by adjusting jumper diodes. This can enable the blocked cellular freqencies or swap the 68-88 MHz for 30-54 MHz and visa versa. If you have the skills you might be able to add a switch to allow coverage of both 30-54 MHz and 68-88 MHz by switching the jumper diodes over. There are modifications and jumper information available elsewhere on the internet: ![]()
