GNSS Radio communications Jammed?

I bought a uniden, digital scanner. Set up the freq. To what channels i use. It worked... But not very well. I could listen to my own base. Chsh--chsh---chsh. But, bleed over signals will block your data stream.

Now, I have a Javad. It has a spectrum analyzer built in. It it light years ahead of the uniden.

Go to survey site, analyze, choose a channel, and, bam! Were good.

If another signal starts, and interferes, I can look at it, any time.?ÿ

One thing I DONT like about it, is that to change channels (unless you have spread spectrum option) is that you must return to base, and shut down the base, to change channels.

But, I'm not in a high RF area, so it rarely is a factor for me.

Radios, and cows, they sometimes dont cooperate! ...?ÿ 🙂

A higher end scanner would perhaps serve better than the uniden i have. I dont remember what I paid for it.

I use one of these:?ÿ

Listen on desired frequency prior to turning on my base, I push the little button on the side that opens the squelch up and listen for 30-seconds. About 1 out of 4 setups, there is something else on the frequency. Mostly other surveyors, but sometimes what I assume is a scada system for the water district or some such thing.

I've only had one project where we weren't able to use our RTK and this was at a high security scientific laboratory that had some kind of?ÿ radio signal scrambling setup....at least that's what they told us. We couldn't get any frequencies to work so it seemed about right.

Now that we only have licenses for two frequencies I'm not sure what you'd do if you have something else on both of them. How many frequencies does everybody else have available to them if something like this occurs?

I'm a complete newb on matters concerning radio frequencies. So how does a scanner work? When you say it listens on a frequency i mean how do you accomplish that

?ÿ

BTW i have a couple of Brondi entry level walkies. Maybe they have that option which i can use them and hopefully save some money from having to buy a scanner?

So once i set the range on the scanner, and have it listen, what am i expecting to hear in order to notice if the channels are used
