I have a SDS100 and it's hooked up to Proscan so I can search and log hits. I loaded all the Florida rail frequencies after doing a search on RR (CSX, Amtrak, Brightline etc). I know there are rail yards in Sanford Fl and in the south end of Orlando. I'm located pretty much in between those two areas geographically. The closest active tracks I know of are probably 5 miles or so away.
So far, all I've picked up was a long signal that I had to hit temporary avoid on. Maybe a carrier or something (I'm new at this) at 160.000 listed as CSX Auburndale Fl, which is about 50 miles from me. I also got a weak, short transmission from Sunrail at 160.725. Other than that, it's pretty dead.
Is this normal? Would I need to be closer to active rail lines? I've been poking around the RR Wiki without much success.
