You weren't looking for a manual back some time ago within the past year
for
a Canadian Radio? I was going to hook you up if it was you. Oh well. Wrong
scan man I guess! Sorry!

No, no, no - sorry, let me clarify - talking scanner vhf/uhf trunk
tracking
here. Didn't mean to confuse - sorry bout that!

Most vhf/uhf hams I know are into trunk-tracking scanners as well.

Um,

Can you define what you mean by "trunking?" Do you mean listening
to
monitoring systems that are trunked, or do you mean using trunked
ham
radio systems? (I which case I've got a WHOLE BUNCH more questions
to
ask...)

I am unaware of any hams using trunking for ham systems. Thus
there
is
little drive to include trunking features into ham HTs.

Funny, most hams I know are into trunking big time. But, most

I
know are only into vhf/uhf comms as well. I suppose your
observation
would be the fact for most gen/extra class hams who operate
mostly
on
HF. Haven't heard too many of them discuss trunking on their
nets
or
elsewhere. Good point there.

Don't hold your breath. Trunking is an anathema to most hams.

After some research I found that AM 940 WEOC is the absolute best emergency
AM radio station in the Tampa Bay area, broadcasting during emergency
situations 24/7 - and they were apparently a lot of help to folks during
Hurricane Charley. Thanks anyway to those that replied, and hope this info
helps someone else as well.

Loading up the VX-7R with emergency freqs for Tampa area - any opinions on
the best local AM emergency broadcast station? FM? I have all SkyWarn and
amateur freqs, police and emergency and most of the major ones, but
curious
as to the best local AM emergency broadcast freqs for things such as road
closings, traffic congestions, etc. The Yaesu VX-7R has become my fav
radio
for emergency situations - the only thing it won't do is trunk track. As
soon as they come out with a trunk-tracking extended receive quad band
amateur transceiver I am SOLD heh

Thanks -
