Buckeye Costco

[WA6IJD]

Any one scout out the frequencies used at the new Buckeye Costco yet ?

I can't specifically answer your question, but I've monitored two Costcos, one in CA and one in AZ. Both seem to favor Itinerent frequencies in the 151Mhx and 154Mhz ranges. Here's what I found them using, but I would suggest you sit in the parking lot and search 151 and 154.
151.625
151.685
154.570
468.2125

Thanks.
I look in the fcc records, but its not in there (yet). I plan to go park in their lot and take the SDS-100.

Doing a CloseCall is the best way since they're likely not using and officially licensed frequencies. Being in the parking lot may be too far away though. Wandering through the store should work. I'll just put my SDS-100 on "Search with Scan" and CloseCall on and have it record. That way I don't have to be constantly listening to the radio in the store. I just let it do its thing and then play it back later. I find numerous business frequencies that way.

Yup

The several Costcos I visit up here in the Las Vegas area are all using 900MHz FHSS -- /v\otorola DLR-10#0 radios on channel 1 with the 0000 default privacy code. I suggest you go into the Costco and perform close target recce to ID the type of radio they're using, and take-it from there. If they're using DLRs (I think it's likely), you can monitor them with your own DLR or DTR *assuming* the store manager didn't think it prudent to change the default privacy code.
