Odd anyone would be hearing Frisco FD on it. for the most part Low band VHF isn't used in TX. still used widely in OK, OHP (Non-Trunked area's) Maybe because Frisco is undergoing the swap to P-25 they are resulting to the Old systems. just a thought!
MaxTracker said:Wow, got it scanning now. I dropped it when most of Collin Co. went trunked years ago. Interesting to know someone still uses it up here.
MaxTracker said:with all I'v read recently, it might pay to listen to low band for a while. a lot of people have been talking that low band (and/or) 6 meter is opening up and may be open for a while. It would be nice to hear some old technology and hear some call signs from a ways away.
