Okay - here is the challenge... I have an old scanner I have decided to put into service in my daily driver and cant decide what to listen to. So I am going to see if you want to help with the delima.

If you only had 100 channels in an non-digitial scanner, what are the 100 most important frequencies for police, fire, and rescue in the area?

Include Loudoun, Fairfax, and other counties NoVA
***
Also included can be:
Montgomery Co MD
Frederick Co MD
Washington DC
Jefferson Co WV

(And don't forget to include those old dispatch and simulcast freqs.)


I have about nine open channels left - here is what I have come up with so far:

856.6875 works very well for Front Royal PD when you don't have a LTR capable scanner. Also 858.6375 for Warren Co SO when you can't hear 855.7375.

Is 33.52 and 33.68 still in use? I took those out of my radios several months ago because I never heard anything on them, but it could also be my lack of a low band antenna. Although I hear WCSO just fine on LB.

Does MPDC simulcast anywhere?

Are there any other police simulcasts?

(Thanks to all for the responses.)

As far as I know MPDC does not simulcast on any analog channels anymore. MSP simulcasts their operations on the channels you have even though in Montgomery and Charles Counties they usually operate on the county trunked system. Their talkgroups are still simulcast onto 39Mhz tho. I didnt notice but if you dont already have it you might want to throw the PMARS repeater in there also.

Va and Md. frequencies

Lemish: read alot of your posts-look forward to meeting you some day if the meeting ever happens.A few frequencies:
154.28 and l54.295 F mars-md and pa still use these freqs quite a bit, plus its a good test to see if your antenna is performing.

123.025 HSelo unicom
123.05 Medical helos
I can listen to Air care 1 taking off from Manassas on Tower freq, then to 462.95 then to the jurisdiction trs frequency-after picking up they also call Fairfax Hosp. to give condition report.

866.3625 P-Mars---They test daily at different times. This one will really let you know if your 800 antenna system is working effectively.


154,37 (110.9 PL) winchester, va.
154.25 add pl of 114.8 to city of manassas so that Howard county Md. simulcast doesnt cover up. also add same PL to Manassas Park. a md. station occasionally cover them upl
note that pwf county, cities of manassas and Manassa Park use same ll4.8 PL as they do a lot of mutual aid calls together.

131.675 AM-Colgan Airways (US Air-Can hear their plante calling dullels and manassa with company business, supplies, fuel requests and to discuss problems with the aircraft./ can hear as far away as charlottesville and richmond.

867.0125 FM Reagen airport fire trucks
47.66-msp mesdevac patches to hospitals with medical reports
44.74- (110.9) msp "syscom" helo dispatch
143.100 AM-army heliport at pentagon

I have picked up some frequencies from your list-thanks---------Jim, railfanjjf

460.575

Yeah, 460.575 is no longer active. If you were interested (or you live close enough) you might wanna put the Manassas Regional Tower freq in there as well, 133.100.

If you really wanna fill up some more space in there, you can always put FRS/GMRS/MURS/Common Business "dot" freqs and such there as well. I would at least put in 462.675 PL 141.3 (the GMRS "calling" frequency) and the 52.525, 146.520, and 446.000 (CSQ) amateur radio calling frequencies in there as well. If you can't put all of them, I hear people using 146.520 quite often when I'm up in that area.

Just my two cents.

Is MD still using those 39MHZ freqs? (I have no way of knowing, just a thought)
I would add some Dulles approach freqs, or 121.5 and 123.450 maybe.
Or some rail freqs maybe.

Just goes to show, don't get rid of those old analog only scanners.

There is a very good thread in the Maryland Forum on this subject. I sort of thought that the lowband frequencies were going to be phased out but it appears that it won't happen (if ever it will) for quite a while.
