I still can't remember if it was 4-40 or 6-32 but I doubt it was metric as I never really had to mess with any metric stuff back in the late 70's or early 80's. I had that 220 open a while back and noticed I'd soldered a nut in the old funnel shaped nut's place directly on the PCB! They were aluminum and somehow I'd cross threaded mine and ended up ripping it off of the board. I once buggered up one those old funnel shaped threaded antenna sockets they used on a lot of the newer Electra programmable models like those from the old BC-220 era. And they were perfect as one was VHF-LO and the other had both VHF boards installed in it from the factory.
They had very cheap buy it now prices as well which I don't recall anymore but they were cheap. I'd found the old unopened BC-III's on an eBay auction a long time ago. Thanks for reading this far and I appreciate your help.Yes, I still use a pair of BC-III's today for our VHF Low Band state patrol's backup system and another for some of the local VHF High railroad frequencies. I was at Melbourne Airport yesterday & the scanner's performance was underwhelming !! Does anyone have a Uniden scanner with this feature that has some experience with getting the best out of it ? Anyone have any recommendations ?Ģ) I've tried setting up the Close Call RF Capture Technology feature just to work on airband - I've turned all of the other bands off. I've read a little about a Diamond RH799 and a ScanDucky, both for under $50.
This has left me with 2 questions that I'm hoping someone can help with.ġ) I know that the supplied antenna is fairly ordinary, & the one on the AOR works better, so I'm after a better antenna (for airband only). I purchased a Bearcat UBC73XLT and I've been familiarizing myself with it over the weekend. I'm going on a 6 week aircraft photography trip in a few weeks time & I don't want to lug my AOR AR1000 scanner with me, so I found your great site & read up on a suitable 2nd compact scanner. My name's Ian and I'm an aviation enthusiast living in Melbourne.
