Simple scanner

Post by Dimmer
Hi
I am looking for a simple scanner with a mains plugpack. It doesnot ned
to be the latest. Secondhand will do. What have you?

Have a Uniden Bearcat UBC73XLT. Handheld with 2AA, DC transformer in
(which charges the batteries in situ as well), and cig lighter power
adapter. Cheap. Does a good job. Get cops, CFA, air, UHF, AM, etc.

Had it for about 5 years.

Keypad a little tough to figure out, but once you have, it's pretty
feature-rich.

Here's one:

extras-/270799080196?pt=AU_Electronics_Radio_Equipment&hash=item3f0ce20b04

You can get them cheaper than that though with a bit of shopping around.

Dick Smith usually has a few on the shelf.

Thanks David

But according to the owner's manual (p14), it does not have an AC plupack
for the mains.

Cheers

Before someone tells me, I know I've been silly here. There is of course a
DC external jack, and amongst my plupacks I do have a 6volt one!

Are you still proving to the world what an anal fuckwit you are?
Here, I'll help.

A sample of Barry's own spelling:
"She uses 868.0625 which is part of the Motorola truncked"
"I recieved a brochure but it was coloured."
"I have POC32 running all day without a reminder comeing up."
"Do you get embarrised by not quoting before...."
"It varies with the differant models."
"Amature radio uses 420 to 450 MHz with 430 to 440 being the most used
range."
"According to todays VK2 WIA broadcast, WICEN was responsable for
causeing the Newcastle Disease chicken disaster. I guess they
were fed up with being religated to illegaly supplying communication
to such emergencys as horse enduros, so they decided to create their
own. The high regard in which WICENs radio skills are held by real
emergancy groups was shown when..."

Opps, sorry:) Barry and I go back a bit, when he reminded me in his own
special way how to spell metre . After a while , he wouldnt speak to me
anymore, and David Zyk tried to burrow under my skin like a leech. So I gave
Barry the arse, and played with Jew boy for a while, but he's been beaten
and sooked off, so it looks like i'm back with Barry, since he's still
proving to be an anal fuckwit of the highest calibre... How'd you get on
with that tyre with the tree through it?

LOL. It's still sitting in the shed Lindsay, although I did put the
original tyres back on the quad bike.

Perhaps Officeworks is doing the same thing as DSE - only in
reverse... their staff surely wouldn't be any less knowledgeable when
it came to electronics.

Thier staff are just as dumb as the staff at DSE. I was in my local OW a
while back looking for a briefcase for myself. When asked if they had any
the staff member showed me a shelf full of laptop cases.

Seems like it's a common trait these days. Fill the stores with dopey
brainless staff and the punters won't know the difference.

Still in nappies judging by the way they dressed themselves. One female
staffer was trying to do a Lady Gaga impersonation with her hair style
(sigh - the things you see when you haven't got a gun).

The "staff" at Officeworks take the cake as biggest morons and
dunderheads of all time. Totally utterly useless. My local Officeworks
has staff that just look at you and don't want to serve you. Of
course, it doesn't help that the managers are all bean counting
fuckwits with no social skills whatsoever.

Customer service does not exist and retailers wonder why their sales
volumes are down ???

You've just nailed it. Sales droids in stores are just that: droids.
They dont give a shit, coz they dont have to. just so long as they get
paid....
