Hello all,
I am brand new when it comes to police scanners, but have learned a lot from this site. I have some questions about the different frequencies that are available in my area.
I live in Kingsport Tennessee, Sullivan County. A buddy of mine told me that I should only program the 800mhz channels in my Radio Shack Pro-95. The FCC lists quite a few more channels in the 154-155 range, but when I program those in, my scanner just gives me a screen saying "Mot: None".
What are the differences in the channels when compared to scanners? I understand the UHF, VHF, etc. But why do some scanners pick up certain frequencies, but others do not?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
