Scanners can be fun.
"What does a scanner see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does it see into me, into us? Clearly or darkly? I hope it sees clearly, because I can’t any longer see into myself. I see only murk. I hope for everyone’s sake the scanners do better. Because if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I do, then I’m cursed and cursed again. I’ll only wind up dead this way, knowing very little, and getting that little fragment wrong too. "

Playing around with the Yaesu FT-980 I have been working to restore. These are great rigs from the days when every function had its own knob or button, and there were real meters instead of LCD screens. This radio has a very low noise floor and sensitive receiver, which rivals any other rig I have owned. Hopefully it holds up as parts are getting near impossible to locate anymore.
