I am not from Manintoba but if your new to scannong there is tons of stuff at this site to gather knowledge from. The database is full of freqs for Manitoba. The wiki has everything for all types of things you need to learn about scanning. The trick is to read a lot and it should not be a big deal, I have only been scanning fo a couple of months and have really enjoyed this hobby. Just cant wait until I can travel out of Saskatchewan to an are where is a bit more to listen to. I cant complain though I have a Pro 97 and have 4 banks with trunked freqs plus one with like 40 channels to listen to and my scanner is not quiet for more than a few seconds at a time!
Better go the wife is beckoning. Good luck and enjoy your scaner!
