That’s great angel. I have quite a few videos for this model.. just search the name of the scanner along with the name of my RUclips channel and you will find them.thx
Again, thanks so much! Someone who actually knows what they're talking about RATHER than someone who shows you how they're learning! Keep up the good work; liked and subscribed accordingly!@@digitalanaloguehamradio
The Close Call function has two modes for displaying the received frequency. In the first mode, you need to have time to press any button very quickly, to see the transmitter frequency. The second mode makes a temporary write to the databank memory register called CLOSE CALL HITS. The most difficult thing is to find and see what is written in this bank. Before each start of the CLOSE CALL function, it is necessary to enter the Close Call menu, find the Scan Hits function, go into it, and select SCAN HITS ON and press the PgmE button. After you start the Close Call only mode, and after, when you receive the carrier frequency, you can view it later, while the Close Call function is running, press the SCAN button, then immediately the HOLD button, you turn the knob at the top of the scanner counterclockwise and find the treasured data bank called CLOSE CALL HITS, and there are all your received frequencies.
Many Thanks my friend....My thinking is that as I like scanning the VHF and UHF bands.....If I was to park up close to a local transmitter site (We have one on a hill just outside town) would it be possible to sit in the vicinity and pick up the frequencies being used....?
Hi Mike, thanks for the comment. I have heard and found the frequency for an aircraft 5 miles away. but you have to remember there is nothing between us it’s relatively high power and a good set up. if it’s a handheld with a rubber duck, I may pick it up 100 m away using close call
Can you recommend a good antenna for indoor use as I am disabled mostly housebound I have just ordered a uniden 125xlt first scanner I will have thanks in advance.
Do a search on Broadsword antennas they have a Facebook page. They make a very good very long rubber duck which is very usable. They are home-made and a bit Bendy but they work very well. Tell them I sent you 2E0UKH
Very clear. Thanks. Just got this scanner and still learning
That’s great angel. I have quite a few videos for this model.. just search the name of the scanner along with the name of my RUclips channel and you will find them.thx
Thanks! I wish I'd have found this video sooner!
I have quite a few tutorials on this radio search for my channel and the radio name and you will find the series

Thanks. That's useful
Interesting video my friend. Out of interest how close do you have to be to the transmitter site for it to identify a frequency in use....?

Hey you’re welcome. I forgot you had this radio
how long does the battery last
I put my own rechargeables in I have never used them up in a day. It’s good battery life I couldn’t give you a figure it’s never run out in a day.
