Anything helpful for a guy without a digital scanner in the Shinnston area?

[JRoss1124]

I have a Uniden BC340CRS which at the time I bought was one of the better desktops out there. The problem is it's an analog scanner and with everything going digital it's pretty much obsolete. I can still get Clarksburg PD's simulcast on 453.700 (though the officers come in very low) and the local EMS and VFD's, but that's about it. Even Bridgeport PD no longer simulcasts on 155.565. I can actually pick up Preston and Lewis County Sheriff's Departments pretty well but the Harrison County one that was on 39.680 no longer simulcasts either. I'll probably breakdown and buy a digital one when I can afford to.

But in the meantime can anybody help me out with some frequencies in Harrison/Marion that I can still use on an analog? Any local utilities, towing companies, cabs, etc? Anything not listed in the RR database? I'd like to get the most use out of it while I have it and would rather get the frequencies from somebody on here rather than sift through the database.

Appreciate any responses and feedback.

I believe that Bridgeport PD is still simulacast on 155.685. Also, Harrison County Fire is broadcast on 159.19500 most of the time.

Thanks moochie! I actually get the HC FD's on the 46.1400 frequency. Can't seem to get Clarksburg FD very well anymore on the 460 band though.

Anybody know the local cab company's (Royal) frequency? Didn't see it in the database.

Bridgeport PD, Taylor Sheriff and the WVSP still simulcast.
Harrison Sheriff does not, since the equipment broke they are not going to fix it. Neither does Marion or Mon counties.

Doddridge, Ritchie, Wetzel are NOT on the IRP yet

Toms Taxi was on 464.8500
Centra Bus was on 452.8000

Moochie and I stand corrected, Bridgeport PD at 155.6850 is no longer simulcast nor used.
It can be marked off as such in the RR database. They are exclusively IRP now.
