I have a Kenwood TH-F7E Hand Held Transceiver/Scanner, this is one of the best Hand Helds that money can buy & is crammed full of useful tricks.
I'm looking to swap this for a Laser Rapier detector that like the Scanner must be in good clean working order.
You can listen to virtually anything from Baby Monitors, Fire Brigades, Civilian Aircraft, Military Aircraft, Trains, Security Companies, Water Board, Formula One Cars/Pits, TV Broadcasts, Radio Stations, Marine Band etc etc etc.
NB: you will not receive many Police bands now due to them operating on the new digital Tetra system.
Listen to 2 Channels at once, name the Channels, scans for activity above & below the frequency you are listening to.
Can be programmed by hand or very simply by a small PC programme that links the Scanner to your Computer via a USB lead provided.
See the link below for further details while I go look for the Manual.
