A WIRE. A RECEIVER. WHATEVER’S OUT THERE.

The world
on a dial.

My RSP1A. My wire antenna. Your curiosity.
Pick a band, turn the dial, and listen in. This is a real receiver at my station—not a recording.

ON THE WATCH / MOUNTAIN TIME
AUTO WATCH / Canon490145.490 MHz · NFM

Flex time scans local repeaters and calling channels. Manual tuning gets 30 minutes idle; scheduled nets use 5 minutes.

    ONE RADIO. SHARED SKY.

    Your tuning.
    A shared front end.

    Listen independently inside the current capture window. A band change or a tune outside that window retunes the physical receiver for everyone. Sessions end after 60 minutes; reconnect if you’re still listening.

    GENERAL COVERAGE

    1 kHz–2 GHz receive coverage. HF, shortwave, VHF, UHF, and the space between. 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi are outside the hardware range and rejected by the receiver service. What you hear depends on the antenna, conditions, and local signals.

    GMRS memories are listening presets; no repeater link or transmit control is provided.

    Take the dial.

    Tap TUNE for a manual override. Auto resumes after 30 minutes idle during flex scanning, or 5 minutes during scheduled nets. Calling channels are simplex memories, separate from repeaters. Digital-only traffic may not decode here.
