Two questions, please:

1) What are the Base freq/Offset/and Step size MHz settings for the DCPD 460
MHZ system?

2) When will the DCPD go to their 800 MHz system?

Will be in the DC area the 1st of Dec. and want to know what to monitor.(
Have pro 96 digital scanner)

Thanx

Lew;
If you have one of the new PRO 96 Digi Scanners, you already
have most of the fequencies that you'll need to scan around the DC
area. Using the 'PRO-96 Preloaded Data Addendum' booklet that comes
with the scanner, load V-Scanner # 6 and you'll have the DC Fire and
police freqs in bank 0 (Fire is on the Digital Trunked system, and the
PD are still on their old 450MHz range radios, but they're all in the
PRO-96). You'll also get Mongomery Co, MD (Bank 1), Alexandria, VA
(2), Arlington, VA (3), Fairfax Co, VA (4) and other local areas.
Once you're here and turn on the scanner, it will never go quiet,
there's always some action going on around this area. If you set up
some search scans in the 160-170MHz and 406-420MHz ranges, you'll also
get plenty of hits from the, too many to mention, Federal Agencies
around here.

This area is the Radio Hobbiest's mecca!

For the record, IMHO, the PRO-96 is one great scanner,

Cheers...Dave
