So, very new to scanning and just got my 436HP. So far, with all the resources from this forum and online I'm picking up fast.

Only issue I'm having difficulty with is locating the current frequency for the Duson, LA Police Dept. The Dept. should be in Lafayette Parish (County). It's a very small town/dept. The only reference I've found for this dept. is listed as deprecated.

So, my question is: A) Would anyone be able to help me locate this if it is in the database. B) If not, I assume it would be possible to perform a wide scan for all actively used frequencies in the area and hopefully stumble upon it.

If I use the zip code scanning option will it only scan the known frequencies in the database?

Thanks for the response. I read that too, but thought it mostly pertained to the larger metro areas of the parish. Was hoping the smaller, outlying town depts. were still using their own systems.
