My radio dummy tip (I’d definitely not an expert) is definitely go outside when scanning for interesting stuff to listen to. It took me a few afternoons of scanning to find anything, let alone anything interesting. Hopefully you’ll have better luck :-)
Comment on What to do with a box of Baofengs?
nocturne@slrpnk.net 1 week agoWell yes, but can they be used as police scanners? Weather update radios? Or are they strictly to communicate with another hand held?

They have a recieve range of 134-176 I think and 420-480, as long as it’s standard analog you should be able program in some fun things to listen to.
I have one setup for railroad frequencies and I hear some unique conversations.
