[TheList] Uniden digital scanners

Mon Sep 16 14:17:11 AEST 2019

Re US/CA model vs NZ model, the only difference I can see is having the 
AMPS band blocked. When I got mine they weren't exactly easy to get hold 
of so I had to make do with the version I got. Also worth mentioning is 
that in addition to setting any modulation in any band, you can also set 
the step in any band you choose too. 5,6.25,12.5,25,50khz.
