I wanted to listen to many of the 800-900 frequencies like a scanner essentially. Here in San Diego the police and fire, park rangers others all broadcast in the band in with this was designed for. I have no attachment to the radio really and I’m actually going to get a new TIDradio H3 something looked badass with 8 bands and Bluetooth programming I’m way excited since I live right by ext to San Diego Limburg field (Point Loma) I always get a nice selection of channels to hear in on.
