Somewhat obscure question about some obscure frequencies...
I have looked around and even searched the forum about this but I didn't quite get a straight answer
I have 2 frequencies here that neither of my scanners seem to let me program
the scanners I use are a RadioShack "weather alert" Model Pro-82(its atleast 15 years old) and the other a Uniden BC355N(both of which as far as I know are non digital scanners)
the first one is 1.69000 call sign WPYB598 which is supposedly a village "travelers information station"
and the other one 72.66000 call sign WNMD629 which is a village public works department
I got these frequencies how I have been getting a lot of my frequencies lately off a site Scanner Frequencies - Phone Numbers - IP Addresses which seems to have accurate frequencies however I am skeptical about the 1.69 frequency is that possibly a mistake? literally 1.69.000? or 169.000 would sound more correct to me(I think I tried to program 169.000 and it was nothing)
anyhow I first tried to program them into the uniden which In order to program a frequency into it you have to select the band range first which goes 25 - 28 28 - 30 30 - 50 50 - 54 and then jumps to 108 - 137 so needless to say I could not even get a chance at trying to program the 72.66000 freq
and on the radioshack all you need to do is just enter the frequency by numbers and press a enter button but when I tried to program them it said "error"
are these frequencies only compatible with a certain kind of scanner? or is it something I am doing
thank you
