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

<div>Anything out of the US is going to have frequency
gaps, unless it's hackable or intended for the
international market.<br>

I don't know what's in the 75+ MHz band over there that
they don't want people listening to, never bothered to
look into it.<br>
</div>
What we need here is a good, cost effective unit that covers
the whole spectrum.<br>
</div>
The Icom IC-R2500 looks like a nice unit but I don't see any
prices for them in a quick search.<br>
</div>
<div>Seems that some come loaded with P25 decoding built in,
others require a plug in module.<br>
