I just obtained an old Regency Model Z10 scanner at a moving sale (ala
Cuhulin) for $2.00 which was owned by an old tinkerer which seems to work
perfectly. How does one find out what ones local emergency frequencies are
so I can program them into this old beast?

I can't seem to get rid of the image of an old tinkerer who worked
perfectly being programmed by Lisa. Must be some New World Order thing.
And she didn't need to call him a beast.

Anyone got any useful suggestions?

Yes! But you obviously have me blocked so you didn't get the very useful
suggestion I already gave you!

Here, let me give it to you again:

Look here! http://www.w7fg.com/manuals.php?manu...egency&center=
However that would increase your investment 5.5 times.

If I found the right one, that looks like it only has 10 channels.
Depending on where you live you won't be able to hear enough emergeny
(police/fire/ambulance) to make any sense of it.

About 6 months ago I bought a Radio Shack Pro 2006 400 channel scanner and
can only hear the main channels because it does not trunk. There must be
at least 20 main channels they use in my area. I found those channels on
the radio reference website that dxace posted.

What you could probably hear easily are hams using repeaters. Fewer
channels and they don't jump from channel to channel during a single
conversation. I found these by just scanning ranges of frequencies then
googling the frequency with the name of my city and state. You will find
the websites of local clubs who own and operate the repeaters.

Excellent - thanx!

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?

Hey, you're in luck.

Well, of course it has moved. Try

For example

at which point you have your choice of counties.
