where do you look for AAA and tow truck frequencies

I'm hoping to add more freqs to the scanner.

Depends on your area....some use Nextel, some use LTR type business two way radio systems, some use regular cellphones, etc....you might be better off asking this in your local state forum...

First you need the name and address of the licensee, then you look it up in the FCC database. Don't expect too much, often the specific name of the company departs from what is painted on the truck or the license holder may be an individual or a parent corporation, even a holding company. It gets worse, they may rent a channel on a commercial system and operate under it's license. One more thing, just because it's a triple A contract tow doesn't mean they operate on a frequency licensed to the AAA. Eh, good luck?

I found a number of towing services using LTR systems in my area when I decided to do a detailed frequency search and system mapping for what I found.

Find-by-looking-in-a-database may not work. You might have to find the system they are renting from and then listen for awhile to find the tow companies.

[PHOENIX_SCANNER]

A few hours of searching on Friday night from 150-160 mhz and 450-470 mhz will allow you to catch the cab and towing companies along with some other things. Knowing which one is which will be the puzzle.

[hoser147]

I found my local ones using a commercial service like Warren stated above.

What city or cities?

[Matt93]

Where I am, they use Nextel. I have to say, that is a good system.

[Ray_Air]

Check the LTR systems in the database for your area. By me, they seem to all be on LTR's. One enterprising tow company however, does use NXDN. Cell phones are heavily used also, especially Nextel.

To help out a little further the frequency listed for license KQE803 is not being used by any towing service. It is an internal frequency that is being used at there main HQ building for Network Services. Hope that is of some help. The way to monitor would be for any of the tow services that might be doing work for AAA.

I can tell you that I do know Triangle Towing, Inc. does work as a contracting station for AAA. If I know of any more, I'll post them.

Hope this is of some help.
