[christopherve7alb]

@JORDANROUBIQUE 146.840 is the main WARA repeater, 145.290 is the repeater on Mt. Doug and is usually fairly active.

Thank you for your nice video. I am a HAM in Japan, just having started off. I am curious to know your antennas, hoping you would post the video some day. You don't need to worry about radio wave interference, do you?

[christopherve7alb]

@monmonjiro I've never had an issue with RF interference which is a small miracle because I have 2m/440/1.2GHz/VHF packet/VHF marine/scanner antennas and an FTA dish all on the same tower. Always good to hear from another HAM!

so i can pick up the police.

[christopherve7alb]

@dexterpointexter Yes! Most scanners can receive police broadcasts, unless your police department encrypts their signal (not very often).

If not for the LCDs, I would swear this was recorded in the 80s.

Why was the audio content cut out just when he tried to explain the process? This is America, censorship should not be allowed!
