From Creedmoor, NC I've been picking up 851.2875 P25 which sounds like a routine public safety feed. I'm running a Radioshack Pro-651. The FAQs for new guys suggest using the frequency search option available to premium subs.
Normally, I'd probably just jot the number down and maybe come back to it later. However, a few quick searches suggest this is a freq used in Charlotte, NC. I get the feeling that the chatter I'm hearing is probably closer to Raleigh, NC. So either A.) My radio is more powerful than I could have ever imagined, B.) My quick searches were wrong and I need to investigate further, and/or C.) I really don't have a good grasp on how to scan.
It leaves me with three questions.
1.) Is there a beginners' guide (or can you point me to the correct FAQ) that covers the basics of dedicated searches and how to identify what you're hearing.
2.) Is the premium sub worth the money to someone who typically listens to a select few talkgroups and rarely scans? Also, would it be of use in this situation?
3.) Can anybody identify what I'm hearing on 851.2875?
