Check the town or city where the racetrack is located to find the frequencies for the tracks owners, venders and local police/fire/EMS. http://www.cityfreq.com/mi/brooklyn/ And some NASCAR sites that may have frequencies: http://motorsports.thepaddock.com/freqs.html http://w8akr.dynip.com:8080/info.htm some frequency information: http://www.speedfx.com/article.asp?artnum=3D8541 http://www.telcoweb.net/racing.html http://www.strongsignals.net/index.cgi GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MESSAGE BOARDS! Look at the bottom of the frequency board for lots of data bases through out the country and world! Look up your local and the NASCAR track's frequencies to see if they us trunking radio and/or APCO-25 DIGITAL radios Another place to look is the air band for helicopters that bring VIP's and drivers to the races and the air ambulance helicopter. Also the military aircraft fly by at the start of the race should show up, on the air band! A check of http://www.airnav.com will turn up some tower, approach and departure frequencies. LOOK FOR A HELIPAD! They will have to be around thirty (30) to fifty (50) miles from your location to receive the aircraft side of the communications. To receive the ground side that would be the TOWER, DPARTURE/APPROCH control, HELIPAD or the ground side of the ARTCC stations remote transceivers, your location/receiver has to be within range, that's three (3) to ten (10) miles of an air band ground station!. Scroll down to the bottom of the" airnav" airport pages for your airport, to see if any web links for business at the airport, have air band frequencies listed.. You should be able to hear both sides of the air band VHF-AM communications from any HELIPAD adjacent to the speedway! They may use DISCONE antennas with there radios, which then send/receive skyward. Another consideration is bringing/using a radio scanner aboard airlines and check out the thread at rec.radio.scanner regarding that. http://www.fordyce.org/scanning/scanning_info/scan_fly.html If you would lake to see a great BAND PLAN for the air band look at New Users FAQ on strongsignals.net , go to =93Frequently Asked Frequencies=94 go to the bottom to see who's on what part of the band. This can help narrow down a search to find unknown frequencies. Two other New Users FAQ sections is "What's illegal" and" CTCSS & DCS (aka PL & DPL)" NASCAR web sites also mention states that ban radio scanners and/or require permits! I really like the preprogrammed SERVICE SEARCH capabilities of the UNIDEN=AE radio scanners. They search at three hundred (300) steps a second and allow LOCK OUT of unwanted frequencies during the search, it includes the civilian VHF air band! The UNIDEN=AE BC 250D has racing frequencies preprogrammed into the SERVICE SEARCH and dose S.A.M.E. weather alert! It also covers the Military UHF 220MHz-400 MHz air band! It also has PL tone capability. Down load a manual at Uniden=AE we= b site and check it out. Here's a vendor that supports racing radios http://www.racingelectronics.com/ They may sell and download racing frequencies at the track, possibly free for folks who purchase (Uniden=AE SC200 and there own Racing Electronics RC 2000) radios, form them! The SC 200 will search out PL/DPL tones. The RC 2000 can use PL/DPL tones BUT WILL NOT SEARCH THEM OUT! You have to know them, another good reason to have a vendor 'load' racing frequencies, IF THIS INCLUDES PL/DPL codes, into the radio at the track! NOTE everything in the radio will be overwritten, you will loose frequencies/PL when a down load is done, Take along a list of frequencies for the track, police EMTs and air band. Then after a vendor loads up the racing frequencies ,key your list into another bank (if they aren't already loaded) if something happens or when your leaving, bring-punch up that custom bank in the scanner you have loaded with local frequencies! Another place to us a air band scanner is at air shows. If you want to listen to the military air demonstration teams a UHF AM capable radio is needed! And one that has independent selectable MODE I.E. AM FM nFM. This really puts you into the action! Along with sunglasses, a folding chair and sun screen. Take along Walkman headphones and an extra set of batteries for the radio scanner and camera, one roll of film should do, for NASCAR or air shows. If you have a camcorder patch the scanner into the audio input jack with a =93Y=94 splatter so your able to listen with the head phones while recording the air show performance. If the Camcorder audio has s monitor jack then run the audio cable right into the camera while listening via the headphones on the monitor circuit Here is a schedule for air shows http://www.aero-pix.com/schedule/sched2004dt.htm And frequencieshttp://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/mtairshows.html Check out the individual air show's web site to see if they ban radio scanners and two-way radios! If so, when you go to the show. keep the scanner in your vehicle, then leave about an hour before the demonstration. Drive out of the show area and listen to the air demonstration team off base! This will give you a head start on traffic, some folks do this at the stock car races also. Have fun this summer and be safe!
