Hello everyone,
Growing up, I remember listening to the scanner at my grandfather's house and thinking how cool it was. Fast forward 20 years, and...
I found a scanner on the cheap on craigslist in Jackson, Ohio (RadioShack Pro2050, $25). I go to get it, and hear a couple of transmissions, so I think "Good to go", so I buy it and bring it home.
Now that it's home, I can only get transmissions from the County bus garage. No fire, no EMT, no police.
I got the codes from this page:
Mason County, West Virginia (WV) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
But still nothing. I'm getting pretty good range for the antenna I have (20+ miles), so I think I should be able to hear something.
What am I doing wrong?
Links appreciated, I am not afraid to read, but the search feature returns too much stuff to wade through with my vague search terms.
Thank you in advance for your help.
