Click on Database at the top of the page here. Click on Ohio and then click on
Franklin County, its all right there.

I hope it is a trunktracking scanner or you're going to miss a lot.

All you would be able to hear in Franklin County with that scanner would be Whitehall PD, Reynoldsburg PD, and Gahanna PD, that's about it...Columbus is on a trunked system which that scanner won't follow.

Thats cool guys . First sorry about the double post. Your right all I can get is Columbus police just can't keep up with one thing. Just till they stop talking. So what kind of scanner should I get for Columbus.

Anything that does trunking systems. If you want something real cheap, you can probably get a Radioshack PRO-95 or 93 off ebay for about $50, but I would go with either the PRO-2055 (I have it and it works great for this area) or the PRO-97 which is the portable version of the 2055. With the ones I mentioned, you will be able to listen to Columbus properly.

Good Luck!
