    Hi there, I'm a complete newbie about radios, but I'm getting into it. I’ve seen an advertisement recently that caught my eye of a Realistic 400 pro-2005. I would like to buy it, but I kind of remember watching a video saying that most of the frequencies nowadays, especially police, fire fighters, etc., are digital. I'm not sure, but I think the 400 pro-2005 is not digital, right? So, it would be fair to say this model of scanner is not that worthy anymore, isn't it? Am I correct? What could I still do with this kind of model? Thanks in advance.

      @@onthebench3606 agreed. When it was launched you were supposed to get all 3 unlocked at $33 USD a piece. Then it was $50 now $75 as the scanner is getting older and already has a successor in the works. It’s an amazing scanner none the less. I retired my BC780XLT that has been in service nearly 24/7 I bought the first week it launched. I ended up buying an Anytone 878D as I’m a licensed Ham and needed DMR Transmit for some local NETs. So it was easier to pay that over $75 to use the scanner to monitor. That and DMR is kinda fun to operate on lol!!

    Wikipedia says, "In radio communication, a *transceiver* is an electronic device which is a combination of a radio transmitter and a receiver, hence the name." If all transceivers really can receive radio signals, why did they make Icom IC-R75 then? It can only receive signals. So, for whom is Icom IC-R75 actually? Is it used for serious shortwave lovers? Those are big questions in my mind as a regular person from Indonesia.

    • @twohandsandaradio
      @twohandsandaradio Před měsícem

      The R-75 is a dedicated receiver. A transceiver does a lot of things but some things suffer because of it. Kind of a jack of all trades master of none type of thing. If you want to just listen then a dedicated receiver is the way to go.

    I still have my 2006 from when I bought it new in the 90s. It's special because few scanners are triple conversion IF and this is one of them. I also have the Opto electronics 456 computer interface board that I haven't installed yet, hospital 6 one day I will. The 2006 is also the most modded scanners ever made, due to the many ways to access the circuitry inside and Bill from San Diego did a great job publishing his mods in his books. So this is a classic model that was very special back when and very popular. The manufacturer GRE in Japan was well known for making good quality scanning receivers. The UI is indeed odd and if you haven't used it for a while you will forget how to program it. The EL can be replaced but it's a bit of work, unfortunately. It is also quite a fast scanner, so the ham radio or general receiver can't match that speed. (Today we have SDR so that's another era.)
