is it possible to figure out what I am listening to by freq?

[twiz]

If I find something interesting by scanning. how can I tell what it is? Is there a way to search a database by frequency?

You can search by frequency and location here: RadioReference.com - Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference Database
Or, you could try the FCC Database (less intuitive): License Search - Advanced License Search
