I am looking for a scanner that I can use to monitor our instore security radio channels. I work for the store security and we require a device that is suitable to pick up the high band frequnceies, I had scanner but it was a Yupiteru MVT-7100 scanner, good for aircraft but anything more its no good! so any suggestions welcome. Many Thanks.

I have tried but the frequency its on is uhf and about the 453.000000 area and it does pick that fair up. Any clues in what might do this job for us, and the shopwatch isnt tetra still uhf as that cost way to much for the CAMBAC users to do.
