Hi,

I was looking for scanner frequencies in my home area and found a site
were you can get scanner frequencies for anywhere in the country
(United States). I did have to pay a small fee, but it was well worth
it. I got hundreds of frequencies from everything imagiable.

There site states they have Frequencies for business, police, sheriff,
air force, airports, ambulance, army, civil defense, constables,
disaster services, firefighters, forests, harbors, highway partrol,
hospitals, house authority, lifeguards, marines, national parks, navy,
paramedics, police, resue, school buses, sheriff, transit systems,
troopers, aircraft, alarm companies, amusement parks, casinos, collges,
conventions, country clubs, farm cooperatives, hotels, mail security,
movie crews, newpapers, private investigators, public utilites, race
crews, railroads, resorts, ski areas, sports events, stadiums, state
fairs, taxis, towing.

I got alot of those with my order.

They even sell police scanners if you haven't already picked up one by
now.

Everything there is analog (even the RACOM trunked system you see the
link to at the top) with the exception of the Alliant Energy system
which, being iDen, can't be monitored with any existing scanner. So a
Pro97 or a Uniden 246 or 330 (or even a Pro95) will do just fine.
Whichever scanner you decide to get, get the programming cable
(Unidens come with one) and some programming software (there are trial
versions of the good ones, Uniden, ARC and Starrsoft).

Thanks for the reply/info. I'm thinking of starting with a PRO-2052
since they are on sale for a hundred bucks right now. It sounds like
that will work for now then. It has the serial in/out so that I can
program it and get the frequency info for streaming (so the wife and I
can both listen and see frequency info from work).

Now you have me thinking though, the pro97 is not much more expensive
and it's pretty portable. I wonder if I'll actually utilize the
ability to grab the frequency info for streaming.. or maybe the
portability would be better... *sigh* decisions... decisions..

I figure after I get "hooked", I'll be looking for something a little
nicer, but if one of these will work for now, that's cool.

Thanks again!
