listen for activity on the output frequency and 
transmit on the input frequency. Since the repeater 
is located very high, there is a very large line of 
sight. Typical repeater systems provide coverage 
out to about a 25-mile radius from the repeater 
location. 

By itself, this manual really only provides part of 
what you need to know to have fun scanning – how 
to program and use the scanner. The included 
conventional frequency guide will give you a good 
head start on the other part of what you need to 
know – what frequencies have interesting content. 

The Internet is a great source for current frequencies 
and information about scanning. 

Many web sites have lists of frequencies for your area. 
You can use a search engine to find and use them. 

Make a list of the agencies you want to listen to, 
then look up the frequencies and systems used by 
those agencies. Here are a few useful sites:

•

http://www.scannermaster.com * - frequency 
resources and home of Police Call.

You can also call them at 1 800 SCANNER 
(hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern 
Time Monday through Friday).

•

http://www.radioreference.com 

*

 - the Internet's 

premier source for user-supported radio system 
information.

•

http://www.bearcat1.com - frequency information 
from National Communications.
