Has any one taken advantage of the offer made by Radio Shack
to program your new police scanne in teh storer " With in store
purchase"!
I' m wondering how accurate and all encompassing are their frequency
files, is the trunk settings to the correct mode? Are "fleet Maps" and
talk groups
included?

This is a great way to get a new trunking radio scanner up and running.
Then
take it home listen for a while. Step through the memory channels and
trunking systems
to find out how correct the information is. Then customize the scanner
to your area!
Even if there is not a trunking system with in your reception zone,
just having the conventional
frequencies entered shouldl be a great help!
