We'll Need More Info . . .
Good morning, and Happy Easter.
First, your ACT R 106 is a crystal-controlled scanner. Do you know what frequencies the installed crystals [if there are, in fact, crystals installed in slots 1 - 9] are for?
Then, this scanner will receive conventional, analog transmissions only; so if you're interested in trunked and/or digital systems, I'm afraid this scanner won't do it for you.
Finally, you'd probably get more useful suggestions about whether there is anything local which your scanner can receive if this post were in the Ohio Forum. You can ask the Moderator to move the thread there by clicking the red and white triangle in the upper right corner.
Welcome to the hobby and to RadioReference! I hope you get to do some interesting monitoring soon.
