Now I'm sure some experts here will tell everyone that they
can't do that

I'm just telling what I've seen with my 5 watt, 450 MHz radios under
various conditions. My degrees work for many miles and never need
recharging, but they don't help communications a bit.

Sorry about your pain, though.

Don't know, as I said my knowledge of radios and scanners is pretty limited.

But you don't mind sharing your opinion with others. Others who know
less than you do, and may actually accept your opinion as being worth
something - then waste their money.

You're correct though - no one should accept what they read on the
internet as being worth more than the pixels it's made of - you proved
that.
