Welcome to Radio Reference. There is is still some interesting listening to be heard on a RS Pro 2096 in Franklin Co.and Rocky Mount. The Stars system which includes VA State Police. Specific programming required for the Pro 2096. https://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/?sid=3783 . Fire & Rescue DISPATCH and some mobile units on 154.2275 pl 162.2 . Carilion & Life Guard helicopters+ other hospital helicopters on 464.8 pl 94.8 . Lifeguard Air-to Air on 123.025 . Med 9 462.975 & 467.975 also has Lifeguard helicopter traffic. All the marine (boat) frequencies from Smith Mtn Lake. All the FRS frequencies for within a mile or two of your location. VDOT on 47.34 pl 114.8 and 45.76 pl 77.0 . SIRS on 39.54 . You can program all 40 CB channels.You will have to research some here on Radio Reference.

I would add to this list the following:
- Blue Ridge Parkway (analog and Phase-1 conventional)
- Washington & Jefferson National Forests (analog and Phase-1 conventional)
- Various surrounding counties that are still analog conventional
- Marine channels, which can be quite amusing to listen to on Smith Mountain Lake, and in the fall, the antics of Bear and Deer hunters 'borrowing' the band for their purposes.
