Thanks for the reply!

I understand I will need trunking. That's certainly understandable as
is computer programmable. I don't believe I will need anything REAL
fancy as this is a very small town. The airbase is Mountain Home AFB
and I guess I was really wondering which frequency bands to look for.

most scanners have pretty much the same coverage 30-50 mhz, 144 -170 mhz,
420 - 512 mhz, 800 - 999 mhz
these are pretty standard.

check here for more information as to specific frequencies, look around at
the trunking area and aircraft / military
area Mil-Air is located in the roughly 200 -388 mhz band ( quite large )
make sure the scanner you look at / for
has this band included.

Hmmm. When a scanner lists frequencies like "25-54, 108-174, 216-225,
400-512, 806-956, 1240-1300 MHz Coverage" does that mean it will not
receive frequencies in the 250-388mhz range? The range I'm looking
for?

It seems most handhelds have this particular gap.

Thats why your 'LIST' will shrink.

usually only the higher end scanners, have 'full coverage" ( all legal
frequencies).

Uniden BR330T
# .1MHz - 1.3GHz Coverage* - *Excluding Cellular

# TrunkTracker III - EDACS, MOTOROLA, E.F. JOHNSON

# 2500 Dynamically Allocated Channels

But no digital.
