I have a friend that is planning a roadtrip across the US:
-Los Angeles to Las Vegas
-Las Vegas to Sedona, AZ
-Sedona, AZ to Albuquerque, NM
-Albuquerque, NM to Dallas, TX
-Dallas, TX to New Orleans, LA
-New Orleans, LA to Orlando, FL
-Orlando, FL to Miami, FL
He has bought the Uniden BCD996T Mobile Trunking Scanner (Uniden | A World Without Wires - BCD996T) in hope of using it to try and avoid a speeding ticket.
We are both complete newbs to CB, scanners, frequencies, etc.
After a some research I found out he should be listening in on 2 bands: police radio frequency bands and truckers frequencies (citizens band) CB radio. That way he can listen in on the truckers talking about speed traps and the police talking about whats going on in the area.
Will he need to use a frequency database to find the different codes (possibly provided at Scanner Master - Police Scanners by Uniden Bearcat, AOR and Radio Shack. or on this site)?
How do you program it to work in this manner?
Any suggestions in general for using it efficiently?
Thanks for your help
