i fuond a scanner at a garage sale it is a icom r5. im new to this but
found a couple of local signals. between the transmissions there is this annoying screeching noise its not interference because it suonds like man made tones. maybe they do that to stop people from listening i dunno. is there any way around these annoying tones |

Telling us the frequency, and what agency / city /state it is would help too. just outside of toronto its some kind of ambulance i think and after looking around a bit i think you are right about it being a trunked channel, in which case not much can be done about those annoying tones at least not on the icom r5. oh well i like listening to even the airport and other stuff that doesnt have these noises so no big deal really i guess. thanks for ur reply take it easy |

Since I have to pass them to earn money to pay taxes, Everyone on or applying for welfare should have to pass them to get some of my money. |
