DC USA and Target?

[command_z]

Hi, does anyone have the frequencies for the new DC USA mall, or the Target store in Columbia Heights, DC? The mall is on the 3100 block of 14th street NW.

I did a FCC License search, but nothing came up.

Thanks!

Dave, Thanks for the reply. I have a couple questions I hope you don't mind answering.


1. How did you obtain those frequencies? I searched all over the web but could not find them. Is there a trick I don't know about?
2. What is the information in the [brackets] ?
3. I live a half mile (crows flight) from DC USA, do you think I could pick up the frequencies from my apartment?


Thanks!!!!!

Many of the Large BOX stores operate on the same frequencies Nationwide. Common Standard Stores

The info in the bracket is the CTCSS or DCS [D###] tones, otherwise you will hear every tom,dick and harry landscaper, builder, construction site etc

Thanks for the info. So what do I have to do with the DCS tones? Is that something I program into my scanner? Sorry, beginner here.

Yes, you need to program the tones into your scanner.

I think if you're only a half-mile from DC USA, you have a good chance of hearing some radio traffic. You're probably not going to hear it all, but I definitely think you'll get some of it.

I found the frequencies simply by going to DC USA and monitoring. The frequency for security is not licensed, as far as I can tell.

Thanks, I can't find how to program the tones into my pro96. Are there instructions somewhere? Thanks VERY MUCH!

See the Radioshack Pro96 manual page 42.

It says change the mode to CT or DC. "Use CT for CTCSS, and DC for DCS" Which should I use or does it matter? Thanks for helping me out.

 

[command_z]

oh wait, I think I figured it out. The top two are CT and the rest are DC?

 

[ecps92]

DC usually will begin with the D for notation purposes.
CTCSS aka PL aka CG all contain a decimal point aka 67.0

oh wait, I think I figured it out. The top two are CT and the rest are DC?
