For what it's worth, I allocate one scanner just to monitor all 127
airline operational frequencies in the 128.85-132.0 range. I also
include 122.95 since it's used by FBO's for civilian aircraft. I program
in all of the frequencies for the convenience of never having to be
concerned with a new frequency being added at some location.

All I listen to is aircraft, but even for radio hobbiests that don't,
these frequencies have a little bit of everything to listen to over the
course of a week. While the majority of the comms are routine, there's
numerous phone patches to be heard which involve every subject
imaginable.

Mark-

I do the same thing. I have a RS PRO2035 programmed with all 720
civil aero comms, and a second one programmed with the 128.850 -
132.000 Mhz range. I also include the 136.0 - 137.0 Mhz (with 136.800
& 136.850 locked out for ACARS) range to catch new comms up there.
I monitor JetBLUE & Aloha both up in this range.
