Not to sound sarcastic---but have you invested in a Rand McNally road map that shows the counties?? I have a ancient 14 yr old map that shows the counties. Use it all the time in the shack. Just a suggestion

mapquest.com does it nicely too.

It's not exactly intuitive, but you can use the state and county maps that are displayed at the top of the county pages of the radioreference database.

I knew I-95 started in Chatham County in the north, so I followed the purple line south as it went from one county to the next.

I believe the correct answer is (someone please correct this if I'm wrong):
Chatham
Bryan
Liberty
McIntosh
Glynn
Camden

The biggest thing to monitor is GSP. That is THEIR corridor for drug runners!

Thanks that ought to be interesting just me and the future xyl going to disney for the honey moon and i've already been told i'll be the only one driving so i bet gsp will have some interesting monitoring.

I-95 Corridor

Eh, I wouldn't say GSP is the "BEST" ones to monitor personally. Mainly because 8 out of 10 times you won't hear the mobile units, especially if your going to use that 396XT with the rubber duck. All the counties in SE GA patrol the I-95 corridor, as do some of the local police dept's. Especially here in Camden County. You rarely see GSP on I-95 but then there are times that they are here. I would definately put in GSP as well as all the other counties in GA for your trip through.

In Camden, just make sure you put in both the County S/O as well as Kingsland PD, since I-95 runs through Kingsland, and KPD does like to shoot radar on I-95

Camden S/O repeater is 159.165
Kingsland PD repeater is 155.115

Both on the same tower, running 110watts at 350 feet. You can hear them well into Brunswick/Glynn County.

Enjoy your trip!

Also, if your "future xyl" lets you buy a 396XT or, if you already have a 396XT, let me know.
I can email you the files I have for GA/FL counties along I-95 so you can just dump them into your scanner.

i think i'm going to have to get a 396 xt... everything in Florida is digital

And Florida is a big time GE state as well!

Yeah its nice to hear GSP but you need to have a roof mounted VHF whip antenna to hear anything.
Also, the interdiction troopers all use Southern Linc for tactical communications which you cant monitor of course.

Drew, I hope I'm not too late but here are the counties that you will want to program in for your trip through GA on I-95 (from North to South)

Effingham
Chatham
Bryan
Liberty
McIntosh
Glynn
Camden

The first few hundred yards or so of GA south of the GA/SC line are actually Effingham County, not Chatham - even though Efffingham assets have to come through Chatham to get there!
