| − | ==Frequencies==
| |
| − | And now to the most important part...
| |
| − | Unfortunately many pages that used to hold frequencies disappeared after 9/11. With the exception of the Mass.Military page, [http://home.comcast.net/~fishinike/scanner.htm Ike's Scanner Page] was used as a starting source; however, much of the data presented there is very old and of questionable value. If you have more up to date information, please consider registering with this site and '''contribute!'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Unless otherwise stated, all frequencies are in the '''AM''' mode.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The frequencies in the range between 380 and 399.9 mhz are slowly being converted over to an APCO25 9600 baud digital system. This is happening at all military and federal installations nationwide. Currently only the Uniden '''BCD396T''' handheld, and the '''BCD996T''' base/mobile scanners are capable of tracking these systems. Other digital trunktrackers may listen to these frequencies in a conventional mode, but will not track them. The '''Pro-96''' and '''Pro-2096''' may listen on these frequencies conventionally, and use the PRO96Com utility to read their control channel ''when the system is utilizing a 9600 baud control channel''. When fully implemented, these systems will utilize encryption, and will become untrackable on any scanner, past or future.

| |
| − | Be sure to always keep '''255.400''' in your scanner - this is the Nationwide Flight Service Station frequency. Often flights will call in using this frequency looking for weather or other related information.
