Hello: Don't know if this is proper area to ask...but does anyone know how I can find the scanner frequency for the Elk Grove PD? Am new to this and bought a used scanner PRO 38 Realistic.

I split this off since it was unrelated to the other thread.

You'll find Elk Grove PD and various other City services operating on the Sac Regional Trunk system.
Details -> Sacramento Regional Radio Communications System (Public Safety) Trunking System, Various, California - Scanner Frequencies

Welcome to RadioReference.com !!!!

Hello: Don't know if this is proper area to ask...but does anyone know how I can find the scanner frequency for the Elk Grove PD? Am new to this and bought a used scanner PRO 38 Realistic.

From the PRO-38 manual I have, I found the following:

The PRO-38 covers all these bands:
29 - 50 MHz (VHF Lo)
50 - 54 MHz (ham radio 6m)
136 - 144 MHz (government)
144 - 148 MHz (ham radio 2m)
148 - 174 MHz (VHF Hi)
406 - 450 MHz (ham radio and government)
450 - 470 MHz (UHF Lo)
470 - 512 MHz (UHF Hi)

The Sacramento Regional Radio Communication System is broadcast on the 800 MHz band. The PRO-38 is not able to receive those frequencies. Additionally, the SRRCS is a Trunked Radio System (TRS), so you'll want to get a trunk tracking scanner for best monitoring.

Personally, I would not buy an older scanner if this is what you want to monitor. A change is planned to the system in about 2 years that many older scanners will not be able to handle. I'd suggest getting this scanner. GOOD LUCK!!!​

Thanks for good info. Will look for new scanner hopefully one that is idiot proof. Always thought this was a 'guy' thing, but have enjoyed listening to calls on TV so thought I'd try it. Thanks again.

i recommend a uniden 246 or uniden 330 if you wanna go cheaper than most - as far as handhelds

for mobiles a uniden bct15x

basic analog trunk tracking scanners you should be able to get all of those for well under 300

Well I'd recommend the GRE PSR-300 for an analog hand-held and the GRE PSR-400 for an analog base. Get them from ScannerMaster and you get the power adapter as well.

I note that Radio Shack sells the same radios - PRO-164 or PRO-163, but you don't get the power adapters and the price is usually not as low.
