My dad got 2 of those and i tried to do cool things with it but in the end, all i was able to do was load in a list of specific frequencies around us and scan around until it connects to something. It wasn't particularly interesting stuff either XD

    Oh for sure - the knowledge comes in handy in times of emergency like natural disasters or infrastructure accidents though. Make sure to save your local emergency services frequency bands and see if any local hams have something allocated for those times as well.

    Sometimes it just comes in handy for fun purposes as well - managed to snoop into the construction workers' radio frequency at my uni and had a conversation with one of them XD
