questions for AA county

[irishman75]

If on my standard, no bells and whistles scanner, I save in memory 154.01000,154.34000,154.28000, and 154.29500, will I be able to hear anything. (my scanner is currently in my car). I know what frequencies to listen to in Baltimore city. Also what are those frequencies dedicated to. EX: fire, ems, so forth and so on. I saw how they were listed in the database, but unfortunately I'm not that smart. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

154.01 - fire paging/alerting; you'll hear AACoFD dispatches (only) - no response of units, etc. - you'll need a Trunk Tracker-type radio for that

154.34 - *might* be occasionally used to patch a helicopter to a landing site engine (but not likely much any more)

154.28 - county to county "mutual aid" (i.e. units requested to cross county lines, etc.)

154.295 - not used in the AACo area....

You'll need a trunking-capable scanner - e.g. PSR500, BCD396, BC996, PRO106, etc. (do you have one?)

Then: Scanner Frequencies: Anne Arundel County Trunking System, Annapolis, Maryland

unfortunately not....I used to have one. But it was stolen from the car

I see you were selling a BC296 over one year ago that was already programmed for the Baltimore Metro area.
