How does one find emergency frequencies...? I liked the part about the old tinkerer too. My guess, based on some information at Strongsignals, is that these date from the mid- to late-80s. http://www.strongsignals.net/access/content/model.html Coverage is 30-50, 144-174, and 440-512 MHz. Unfortunately, that may be a problem Around here (northern Virginia) most of the public service (emergency) transmissions are in the 800-900 MHz range. Maybe, however, they are not in that range where you are. If I had that scanner, I could still hear the Virginia State Police as well as Arlington County VA fire calls at 154.30 MHz. I could hear trains, NOAA weather stations, 2 meter hams, 6 meter hams, and some other things. So where are you? |

How does one find out what ones local emergency frequencies are so I can program them into this old beast? .................................................. ........................... ..................................... You're in luck. It is a programmable scanner. Google "regency Z10 scanner" and you will find lots of information including owner's manuals. |
