Burnside, Ky USA: Laboratory Tech Notes~~!! ETI Radio Telescope. Newer Uniden Scanners look for Analysis Mode on the Menu, this is priceless for a building a Radio telescope.. also it will let you enter the exact frequency to monitor - ETI Radio astronimers will find this of value. Butel Software is a must have for the Uniden Bandscope. A $12,000 Agilent spectrum analyzer that covers dc-12 GHz lacks an internal FM decoder all you can do with it is see the spectrum and output the 11.7 mhz IF freq, then tune it with your shortwave all band radio. Still NO TRUNKING or FM Detection! If its trunked or FM audio ids needed, then the 15X/996/536 is the best option. If wideband coverage is your scanning desire at 400 mhz its 3mhz marker on either side of the set frequency. Below 400mhz its going to be 2 mhz marker on each side. If satellites are your interest, they are going all digital encrypted and up to 40 ghz, will be out of range of Uniden scanners. The RF Cosmos spectrum is a sea of stuff out there. A Uniden scanner receiver should get analog/digital/trunked from 25 mhz to 1.3 ghz with selectable modulation (am/fm) 2.5/5/12.5/25/100 bandshape filters. Due to the few people who do radio astronomy in their backyards, the demand is low, so Uniden design banded scanners which are cheaper to mfgr as the input is passed through one of 6 to 10 bandselectors based on frequency rather than a wideband track tuned RF deck design.
