Scanner buffs as well. I started out as a Radio Tech and have worked on many a transceiver over the years. Planning on breaking out an old Bearcat Uniden unit and start monitoring HP, AIR, and BUSN (Buisiness low VHF used by Government and Tactical units) to name a few and see if any relayed comms come up. If I can find a scanner antenna and cable I’ll see about getting something small up and running in a day or so.
You might want to check the scanner listings for your area (found via google) to see if local, county, and state authorities are still on vhf or if they too have gone digital trunking.
Aren’t their communications all encrypted now, and spread spectrum?
