[TheList] Digital scanners / coms receivers

Mon Apr 2 19:26:44 AEST 2018

Hi,

The reason most US made scanners don't have 50-88 MHz coverage, is the 
band 48-88 MHz is used for TV in North America (USA and Canada), South 
Korea, Taiwan and Phillippines.

Aust/NZ, Europe and the UK had their old band I channels in the range 
45-68 MHz.
