Hello all, I just pulled out my Radio Shack Pro-106 Digital Scanner which I haven't used for 10 years or so and had a few questions. I've been reading through the forums and some of you folks are very experienced in scanning......I'm not an absolute beginner but pretty close to it. I did order the cable for my scanner and then downloaded the ARC500 software for programming. I also paid the fee to Radio Reference so I could populate the frequencies into my scanner. Everything is surprisingly working perfect and I can populate the scanner with frequencies, both conventional and Trunked.
I have some basic questions and would like your opinion on the best way to set up the scanner for PA listening. I'm in King of Prussia, so about 17 miles west of Philadelphia. I was going to start a new thread for each county as covering this metro area in one thread would probably be overwhelming!
So starting with the State frequencies, where would you recommend that I start? Can the PA State Police be monitored? I'm getting some action on the conventional Turnpike Authority channel near me (Highspire I believe), but for the most part nothing.
Please provide me and the rest of the newebies with some advice on where to start for PA frequencies. I will wait a little bit and post a newbie thread for the county of Philadelphia and some of the surrounding counties (Montgomery, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, etc.)
Thanks!
