Could somebody recommend a cheap scanner that covers 600 MHz?

I'd like an auxilary radio in the shack to listen for the ISS beacons.


that's news to me. Since that's part of the regular UHF tv station band.

I never knew that there were ISS beacons right in the regular UHF TV band.

But then again, for a long time, I never knew that there were regular two way
land mobile communications right in the regular UHF tv band in certain cities.

I think I'll look up ISS beacons now.

My scanner does cover the 600 mhz range. However, I don't reccomend my scanner
for that range. Get something better than what I have.

I have an IC-R3, but I do NOT reccomend it as the best for the 600 mhz range.
Plus it has a lot of birdies in it.

I'm sure you can find a better scanner than that for the 600 mhz range for
cheaper which is also more sensitive than that.

I'm not sure what the best scanners are today.
Someone else in this newsgroup can probably help you better as to what to get.
for listening to that range.

I'm just telling you what I think you should probably avoid for listening to
that range.

in my opinion.
