	    800	MHz Land Mobile	Monitoring Using a TV

     I can monitor some	of the land mobile services  on	 the
     800  MHz  band  by	 tuning	 my Zenith Space Command 19"
     television	set to channel 79.  The	bandwidth of the  TV
     is	 really	 too wide, permitting simultaneous reception
     of	several	signals, but this is actually useful  during
     times of little activity.

     My	TV has no squelch so listening to  the	white  noise
     becomes fatiguing.	 Aren't	there some TV's	with squelch
     (muting)?

     Has anyone	else tried this?
