I'll be driving from CA to OK in about a month. I was pondering taking
the scanner, but then I thought I'd have to enter a *ton* of frequencies
for various highway patrol districts, towns, sheriffs, etc. Then I'd
have to put all of that in banks and scan the appropriate bank. Way too
much research and inputting freqs....

Can someone give me a general idea of what a good set of general freqs
might be for this trip? I guess I won't be able to input all the
specifics, but thought a general emergency and shared set might work....

This seems like a classic most-for-the-least problem to me. Sure, it
wouldn't be worth it to get EVERY SINGLE frequency set programmed in,
but if you get highway patrol for every state and police for every city
of population 25K, you'd be in pretty good shape for just an hour or
so of effort. Then snarf the shared frequencies here (for
ambulance/hospital and what-not):

Program a couple of good limit searches to hit other stuff, and you're
in business!
