Not true. I live at least a mile from the closes McD's and it booms in when
I scanner around that band. It really depends on your radio and especially your antenna. You probably will not be able to pick them up on a handheld with a rubber duck antenna but add an good outside antenna and you probably can listen to them from at least a mile away. -- Tom "mikeFNB" moc.dlrowltn@FNB7G-ekim wrote in message ... i would doubt you are in range they are very low power only a few 100mts at best. mike "Kap" wrote in message oups.com...
