Default What do you listen to?

Don't know how I missed this thread, but....

At home, local PD and FD's for several communities around me, California
Highway Patrol, the local airport. Then there's the itinerant channels, FRS,
MURS, (ahem), some of the older cordless phone freqs (just to make sure the
scanners work in the VHF freqs, of course g), also some of the
aeronautical freqs that pass over me.

On the road, when on a trip up to the state of Washington, (I have a
dedicated scanner), CHP, OSP, WSP, the various DOT's and general county
channels (Sheriff, County Fire, some local stuff, and areo's.) In some
cases, it's saved me from some tickets. I tend to drive with a lead foot
g.

Another dedicated scanner (both Pro-2042's), is dedicated for day trips to
the coastal region of California. It has CHP, Marine, State and National
Park freqs (a bank for each) and then a separate banks for local frequencies
of each county from Sonoma down to Monterey, Seven counties in all.

Also scan Ham and CB in the search banks, as well as news freqs. Plus what
ever else may strike my fancy at the time.

Now if there were some way to program my 3 2042's with the computer.....Oh
well
