FAQ

Q.     Does the AR8600MKII have a user selectable bandwidth of 30-40kHz? I would like to receive APT / NOAA15-17 satellite data. 

A.    No, none of the scanners has this bandwidth because they are all intended for narrow-band speech or wide-band music reception, not the mid-width requirements for satellite data.
       However, the birds are still quite receivable with the narrower bandwidth, partly because the skirts of the filters are only mediocre, and partly because only the finest resolution will be missing from the skirts that are there.
