User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work with 900 mhz
Answer:	No. This one is analog you would need digital
Question:	We cannot pick anything up. All static. Occasionally fire department. What's the problem
Answer:	Sounds like an antenna problem. Make sure the built-in antenna is securely connected. Also try an external antenna if that doesn't work.
Question:	Can I pick up police frequencies with this? I live in a high crime and would like to listen in to the chatter for pure entertainment purposes
Answer:	In 2018, most likely NO. This is an analog scanner. Most police and rescue are using digital systems these days. This isn't the fault of the scanner; you need to buy a digital scanner to hear police and rescue traffic in your area. This is the case in most of the USA in 2018.
Question:	DO YOU NEED AN OUTSIDE ANTENA
Answer:	NO you do not need an "OUTSIDE" Antenna! In fact some may even DAMAGE your scanner! One Addition might be a Long Telescoping Antenna with a BNC Connection available on AMAZON that does in fact HELP your reception without damaging your scanner. Don't plan on "RUNNING AROUND" though when it is Connected and extended!! At this writing they go for $9.99 for 2. "Baosity 2pcs 7 Sections Telescopic Antennas w/BNC Connector for Portable Radio Scanner" I've used one on my RADIO SHACK Scanners for quite awhile! Happy Scanning!!

Question:	Does it have a battery level indicator? If so, is it accurate

Wouldn’t recommend the smallest sensitivity setting though because anything could set it off that’s how sensitive you can adjust it.
