To peak tune your Uniden PC68XL, first, ensure you have the proper equipment, including a wattmeter and an SWR meter. Open the radio and locate the adjustment pots on the circuit board for the modulation and output power. Using the wattmeter, adjust the output power pot to achieve the desired output (typically around 4 watts for AM), and then adjust the modulation pot to increase audio clarity without distortion. Make sure to test the radio after tuning to ensure it functions properly and meets your communication needs.

A US radio channel scanner like the GRE PSR-500 may work in the UK, but it depends on the frequency ranges it covers. However, using it to listen to certain communications, especially those that are encrypted or used by emergency services, can be illegal under UK law. It's important to check local regulations regarding scanning and ensure compliance to avoid any legal issues. Always verify the specific frequencies you'll be listening to and their legality in the UK.

In Nevada, it is generally legal to use police scanners for personal use, as long as you are not using the information for illegal purposes or interfering with police operations. However, using police scanners to commit crimes or eavesdrop on private communications can lead to legal issues. Regarding surveillance cameras, individuals can use them on their own property for security purposes, but they must comply with privacy laws and cannot record in areas where there is an expectation of privacy. Always check local laws for specific regulations.
