    28-37 MHz range, anything?

    10meter Ham Band 28.300 to 29.700 Upper Side Band after that if it has FM capabilities you might be able to hear some misc. fire dept.s on what they call low band. Hope this helps.

If I put the two 100ah batteries on the opposite side it levels out fine but still...
