Does anyone know the factory frequinceis for this radio ? sainsonic FM416

From what I can find in a quick search, there are none. The radio comes blank, and you have to download the programming software from Sainsonic and program it yourself. (I quickly found Sainsonic's company website, several YouTube videos, as well as several Amazon and eBay listings for the radio in a Google search.)
If you buy it secondhand, it may be programmed with the frequencies the former user had in them, or they may have reprogrammed it with generic frequencies such as 467.7625, 467.8625, etc. If the seller is a Ham, s/he may have programmed it for various 70cm simplex and repeater channels.

I got it bran new. I was hoping to hook it up with my other radio just incase something happens if I am gone and my wife needs to get ahold of me. I just tested it and nothing so, I gues I will wait untill I get the programing cable. I was also hoping to get florence pd with it Yes my obsession in getting Florence pd still excist. Only because the cop was rude and said "you cant get us with any scanner. It has to be a 700 dollar scanner. Kinda made me mad a little and I wanted to be able to say haha I prooved you wrong jerk."

Have you looked at the Database on this site?

I ran an FCC license search on licenses for the town of Florence Arizona. This is what came up:

VHF Analog:
ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WPQZ754 - FLORENCE, TOWN OF
ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WQHB542 - FLORENCE, TOWN OF
ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WQHY536 - FLORENCE, TOWN OF

VHF Analog and P25:
ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WQHJ921 - FLORENCE, TOWN OF
ULS License - Public Safety Pool, Conventional License - WRL651 - FLORENCE, TOWN OF

The Sainsonic FM416 is shown as a UHF dPMR radio. That's about as wrong as you can get.


And they have an analog 800MHz trunked system licensed:
ULS License - Public Safety/Spec Emerg, 806-821/851-866 MHz, Trunked License - WQCC864 - FLORENCE, CITY OF

Seriously, if you are spending money just to show up a cop, you're on the wrong path. Unless they are running encryption on P25, a simple scanner would have done the trick.

I didn't pay $700 for my GRE PSR-500 (probably closer to $550), and IIRC (it's been awhile since I've been down there) I can hear Florence PD on it.
I think at least some of the newer scanners capable of hearing Florence PD are now running less than $500, maybe less than $400 if you look around.
And unless you have a Ham license, a GMRS license, or a business license, you cannot transmit with that radio on any of the frequencies it is capable of operating on. It is not FCC certified (legal) for use on FRS frequencies.
My advice, if you'll take it, is return that radio, and save your money for one of the newer scanners.

And you really need to do more reading into the different radio bands and the modes used. If you had, you wouldn't have wasted your time and money on this radio.

yes I have looked at this website I look on it all the time. I got into scanners and radios when I worked at walmart. They wouldnt give me one so I got my owne. I currently have a baofeng997-s too. I take my scanner everywhere. I have it hooked up to several different pinal sheirrif offices.
Before I go on sorry about grammer and spelling I am using a ps3 for a computer my computer fried and its weird how this is.
anyway, so this cop that I am talking about was really rude and my old neighbor called them every chance she got. Not only did they wake us up but they asked to come in our house, then told me to watch my mouth in my owne house. Later that night he made his comment about the 700 dollar scanner knowing about our situatation we are in. That made me really mad. I am the type of person that likes to proof people wrong if their wrong. hey thank you for your help I really appreciate it.
