the phenomenon of the seemingly empty band is why i always remove the channel mute function in radios that make it possible.

having to chuff through the channels waiting for the receive to come back gets monotonous really quick, and can lead you to turn the radio off rather than going through it again.

when you remove the mute function (an FCC mandate so people couldn't talk in between channels) you can spin the dial much much faster and find out if any stations are out there on any channel.

or you could just buy an SDR receiver so you can see if anyone's out there.
