REALISTIC PRO-2006

Thinking of selling this radio that I used and loved very much as it is now surplus to requirements. Agreed, it is not today's level of technology but still useful especially for UHF. Not a beauty, did not buy it new either. Missing the telescopic aerial. It ran 24/7 for years. I did some mods on it...

UHF antenna on ebay

FYI there's a 16-1 UHF antenna for sale which will be fine with a scanner. You'll need to mount it on a ground plane, though. Do not expect it to work for anything else. Under roof installation OK. Don't expect a super-gainer here but it's guranteed wide band without resistive matching. Connector lo...

I put on two 2-way splitters on ebay UK

Hi Finally got around to put on two 2-way splitter modules, search ebay for 256486090259. There are also still 2x 4-way modules 256432288378 and some relay modules 255698978279 If you think they are expensive you are probably right compared to Chinese mass-ware that you are used to. Sadly I have not...

FS: One 4-way RF Splitter for Scanning Receivers

Guys, I have asked before here if I can advertise stuff and did not get an answer. So anyway, here we go. I have ONE (new) TM80-03 left and probably won't build some for a little while as I have no more components in stock. Sometimes I sell these on ebay but ebay are a total rip off with fees so if ...

Re: REACHs and France

Well that is a lot of interesting answers but no real conclusion. All i can say is that the detours at times are significant in time and £££ fuel. The deGaulle theory is also interesting, this must have been in 71 when they came with ships to collect their gold :) Very strange things happening in Fr...

Best way to post pictures here

Hi
Can anybody advise how to best post pictures here as it looks like this forum will not host them. Drop box or some cloud storage? Don't really fancy that.

REACHs and France

Hi! Over the years I have observed some mysterious pattern and that is that REACH flights in transit rarely ever cross into French airspace. E.g. flights from Spain to Germany follow the coast line along Bordeaux and then through the English Channel and the into NL airspace to Germany. Or from elsew...

For Sale: Print "Power" B-1B by Artist Dru Blair

Just found this in the loft, a signed print of Dru Blair's "Power". As far as I remember it was bought from the original source. Was never unpacked after move, so this has been about 20+ years in storage, so no bleaching from sunlight. Condition is very good, no cracks, folds or dog ears but was rol...

Radio intercept of transit flights or incoming traffic @ Hi alt.

Hi, Maybe not a newbie Q but anyway here for now: A question to the very seasoned and systematic scanners, I would like to know if someone can offer some good tips about how to intercept: MIL transit flights at hi altitude that seem to be quiet or on MIL and likely under CIV ATC incoming MIL flights...
