    Railroad Live Audio

    I'd like to urge you railfans to host some live audio of rail radio traffic in your area. If you look at the list, there is not much RR live audio in Ohio. I'd especially like to hear some W&LE traffic. Please consider providing a live audio feed on this website, and thank you.

    Radio Shack Pro 404 Railroad Listening

    Last December I bought a Radio Shack Pro 404, mostly for railroad scanning. Anyone else use it for this purpose? On the VHF High Band, it has frequency steps in 12.5 kHz, does that mean it will be compatible when the narrow band mandate goes into effect next year? It really helps me when...
