Are there any active gov't channels in North eastern Maryland? (Harford,Cecil county)

[1977addis]

I have been listening and looking around and I haven't found any active gov't channels in My area. I live in Havre de Grace MD and have been listening to APG (Aberdeen proving grounds) channels and haven't heard any voices, just odd random beeps and buzzing sounds

APG is Military, not Federal - and the frequencies we have in our database are here...

You might hear the flights in and around APG with a decent antenna, but I suspect you'd be too far from the base to hear anything...Mike

APG is on the DoD P25 trunked system. You will require a digital P25-capable scanner to hear anything other than "odd random beeps and buzzing sounds" that are not encrypted.

If you check out the MD forum, you may also see some stuff to do with federal users in MD.

Best bet, is to put your radio into SEARCH and see what you find.
Keep in-mind much FEDERAL is going to be P25, so unless you have a P25 Scanner all you will get is noise.

Search the
137-144, 148-150.8, 162-174, 380-400, 400-420 bands

I receive the radio system well from the Perry Hall. You should check your scanner programming.
