i have been tinkering with some old scanners and antennas and while it's easy to test receive in uhf with an FRS radio, and there's periodic VHF ham or fire tone traffic, i'm not sure how well i'm doing with SLATER and MOSWIN. most of the systems being encrypted isn't helping, and my attempt to verify high frequency reception by loading the Ameren P25 system has proven empty as they're using that system less and less every day.
so i'm looking for suggestions on where i can find reliable traffic in various bands around central county. clayton is close, creve coeur, shrewsberrry - all places with lots of towers. if you had to test reception from 50Mhz to 900Mhz, what would you try to tune in? i realize that this isn't FM broadcast, and i may have to wait for an EMS call or or 220Mhz repeater to identify itself or who knows what that's not encrypted on SLATER, but i'd love some ideas in each band that i can add to programming for tests.
Thanks!
