I posted earlier this week in the Radio Shack forum, and had some great answers. I am just hoping that someone here locally can help me out. I have a PRO-2053 and can't seem to hear much of anything. I've never programmed my scanner myself, (I've always just paid the guys at Radio Shack.) but am willing to learn. I'm not asking for much, maybe just to hear some local police/fire departments. I know this is a lot to ask, and I don't blame any of you for just ignoring this post and moving on to the next! I'm even willing to pay someone to help program my scanner.....any ideas?
Thanks!!

There are alot of non-trunk frqs in use in the SL valley. Here are a few you can program into your radio to get you started. You an also check out the aircraft and RailRoad Freqs. We have a lot of Aircraft and train traffic in the area. As you've found out, your radio is not "Re-Band" capable, BUT, you still can hear "most" of the Salt Lake traffic on UCAN, and all of the traffic on the Salt Lake City system. Take a look thru the Utah database Utah Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference, and see what your interested in.

What are you interested in Exactly...

Many of us in the wasatch front area can assist... Just tell us what you want to listen to then, stand-bye for a reply.... I monitor from box elder to utah/tooele counties from my shack, using discone and yagi beams.

Question on Freq's

Do you know if Aircraft, tower, approach, ground etc. (Salt Lake International) use a trunk system or are they strictly assigned freq's? Also, the freq for UTA Bus's is 453.75 (SL), 453.7 (Ogden). I have not been able to hear anything on the SL Bus freq. Also freq's for TRAX and Front Runner? Are any of them on a trunked system?
