Setting Modulation

[GoNavy]

I have my scanner setup and working pretty good...weeeee after my head stop spinning from all the details to learn, but I had to add two freq into it that my job uses, Heslep Concrete 461.8500 (Little Rock area) and 466.8500 (Searcy area) not listed in the data base. I left the modulation set to auto, because I wasn't sure what it is. I noticed on all the downloaded freq they actually set fm, nfm etc...what are the advantages or disadvantages to setting the mod as opposed to leaving it in auto. They work just fine in auto.

Also who do I contact about adding freq to the data base here at RR. Thanks

Auto is fine if it works.

Go to database for Pulaski County. Then find under County Home a submit button. Select Conventional frequencies in pull down option. In the dialog click example for a popup of how to submit.

I say Go Navy also.

Thank you, just submitted the new freq info. Not sure who will want them, pretty boring stuff, just leaving the yard, washing out and an occasional bit&#hing about a customer...lol...if anyone does listen we use 10-1 for arriving at a job and 10-2 for completion of a job.

Hello there GoNavy & a warm welcome to Radioreference. The byword here is "SUBMIT" "SUBMIT" "SUBMIT" any & all frequencies that you may have or encounter while scanning and/or searching because there is always someone on this site who will listen to anything, back in the early 60's when I resided in the Big Apple, I used to listen to paging tones from companies like Aircall, Pageboy & Radio Relay on Sunday afternoons, I didn't do drugs & I had a girlfriend but there was just something facinating about those tones, then one day a friend introduced me to monitoring Long Islands VFD paging tones & the ensuing exciting dispatch transmissions, I was hooked, so you never know what could initiate the furtherence of the hobby for someone who is otherwise unawares of just how widespread this hobby can be. My dad was Navy, he served on the Kittyhawk in the Pacific theater way back when. Enjoy.

Amazing, I'm a Plankowner of CV63. I notice you live near Sanford, was your dad in a Heavy Attack Squadron? I think we took Heavy 11 with screaming Vigilante's to the west coast after shakedown at GTMO.

Hey fmon, heavy attack, light attack, no attack, I sure don't know & I don't think he even knew or if he did, he never passed that along to me as my mom said he was a cook, which was kind of contrary to what he used to pass along to me & my older brother when we were told all those facinating war stories. God rest his soul.
