Why would someone lone want to buy a 2nd mitt tv which can tune to a low frequency?

fella came round to see a 2nd foot 32" tv i had for public sale.he was just interested if it could tune to a low frequency and said some tvs could and some couldnt..he manually tuned all the different systems such as europe etc but tv wouldnt tune low.refuse to tell me why a low frequency be so sought after.


Answers:    If a VHF tuner has the right bandwidth it can be used to take home a SSB radio receiver. But if this happen again he is more than likely out since the solitary models I have see that have a attenuable IF box ( necessary) are really old European and B&W tube base sets. The Pentode tubes for some of these are really hard to receive and Solid state runs $10,000s.

P.S. no one is using uncoded SSB anymore so it is usless to fashion this.

Only other thinking is to a radio buff with a ham set i.e. out, but most TVs made after the mid 70's are IC based
Using it to pick up police signals? Gosh thats an interesting examine. Have a star.
Strange one, I'm wonderring if he may be a ham radio buff trying to ham television broadcasts?
The single 'low' frequency that televisions used be the VHF band. Televisions haven't be made to use that band for three decades (unless you're within the USA, in which overnight case you shouldn't be on this UK & Ireland forum).
It's possible that some Japanese sets may be capeable of having their tuners modified but I wouldn't know which ones, or how to do it.

Therefore nobody could provide what he be asking for.

Your visitor be either a complete idiot and not making his requirements clear, or he up to something shady.
slow scan tv is an view use by hams to pick up signals from european tv stations its good fun so we own a regular session at my club.someones junk is anothers treasure.
He be an alien tryin to get home..
Probably so he can tune it into the hoary cable analogue signals which are on VHF.
I have see this once before a few years ago where on earth a guy had a portable tv which could tune into the low band.

He simply connected the cable companys coax into the back of the tv and he get a load of cable channel for free.
