***PART 1 OF 2***
Hello all,
I just recently returned from a trip from Guatemala and brought along a scanner and SDR to see what the scanning world was like down there. A few important notes:
1. Most of my scanning occurred at a high spot near Lake Atitlan so many of the systems I heard where quite a distance from my location. I did do some scanning in Guatemala City, but had very little time there so I didn't gather much data. I did do some monitoring while between and in Lake Atitlan and Guatemala City.
2. I have limited knowledge of Spanish so I was not able to identify the users of many frequencies.
With that said, lets get into my findings. I will start with trunking systems first (site locations are approximate):
