Yer average Bearcat won't tune TV bands (or slightly big guardbands).

You need a wideband comms receiver like an ICOM or an AOR.

from 100kHz to 1.3 GHz.

Demodulates AM, FM narrow and FM wide at any frequency too.

As do many others.

They go for under $100 on Ebay.

Thousands of uses ....

I have the 8200b3. I had to get one for work. I could never justify the
price just for the hobby, as the house was already full of "scanners".
It also has NAM (narrow AM), helpful for listening to HFBC, helpful for
Air Band. I rarely listen to either on the beast. The "b" means
"blocked", unfortunately.
