Ok,
It order to get a "better understanding" of what is "available" out there for my listening pleasure, I typed in "F.C.C. Band Plan" in Google. The search turned up a site: www.w2aee.columbia.edu. It "seemed" to be through from the Broadcast band up to 300 gigs.
So, I took the listings from 150.775 mhz and started searching for agencies in Louisiana & Texas within a 125 mile radius of Shreveport, LA. This would give me something to "shoot for" as far as knowing each "active" agency to try and capture. In vewing some of these agencies, I'm finding "missing" frequencies, such as 150.805 mhz, that are Fire Mobile frequencies, not on W2AEE's list.
So, my "questions" are:
# 1. IS there a more "complete" list of available frequencies?
# 2. Does anyone know the website?
I'm sure the F.C.C. isn't going to "post" some "secret" frequencies that are assigned to certain Federal (DEA, FBI, ATF, etc.) or Military frequencies for their Homeland Security status. However, it would be nice to at least have a "complete breakdown" of the different assigned bands.
I have a 'sneaking suspicion', that as soon as possible, most police, fire, local, county (parish), state, & federal frequencies will be "digital" and unscramableable (?) so that even "John or Jane Q. Public" can't hear them.....there are strange things afoot. ;-)
Now, in my "monitoring", I don't jump in my vehicle and race out to an "incident" and keep the necessary personel from doing their job. I don't use my scanners to avoid being caught "speeding". I *do* use my scanners to avoid traffic tie-ups due to wrecks and fires or keep away from where they ARE doing a hostage situation. (I don't mind the bullets that have MY "name" on them, it's the one's that say, "To Whom It May Concern", that bother me, LOL!)
Well, if anyone knows of a more "complete list", say from 30 khz to say "Light", so I could actually "LQ^QK UP" the stations call, location, and output power, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Respectfully submitted,
