LOL, I think he was talking to BigBlue!
And 100 miles isn't all that bad if you bring a friend with you! Do it every year!
Remember, Rosscommon Co. runs on on the state-wide 800 system. State DNR fireground (mentioned above) is always hot with traffic. And I've seen a couple of guys from different departments carry around a department 800MHz, so they can here calls from home, so a digital scanner might prove interesting. (1 advantage of 800 I guess.)
Also, I would scan the 151MHz and 154MHz, since most simple FG's in the state are run in those ranges...I think. Plus, like scannerman said, a lot of depts. using trunked radio systems (Ingham Co.) use an U-tac channel when out of the area.
See ya there! -Nick
