  2. Sorry for the downer information later, I bought that scanner, hoping it would work great. I think it has a lot of features that would work great in a high population area. I eventually just use it as a basic scanner to monitor and record a channel I use for church work.
    It is a good scanner, just complicated.

  3. If you are having a lot of static, it is a sign of weak signal, volumn and squelch are pretty much self explanatory.

  4. Only transmission I heard was between the Speer and the bridge, and that came through loud and clear. Good job Dennis.

  5. Is there a way to listen to the scanner while watching let’s say Harbor Cam? Seems like whenever I pulled up a camera I lost scanner.

  7. If you select the Marine Scanner link halfway down the right side, you should get a pop-up window with the scanner control (don't forget to select the play control) This window should stay open in it's own player until closed. That's how it works in Chrome, not sure about the rest. Also, if you have pop-up's blocked it might not work.

  10. Thanks Dennis! Tried it on my lap top and it works as you say. Guess i-pad just doesn't like it. Next time I see a grand kid I'll give it to them. If it can be done they'll have it in the blink of an eye!
