I got out of class early today, so I went transmitter hunting up north of Snowville.
I was hoping to receive Dunn Peak, Raft River Mts.
I got way more than I bargained for.
State Route 30 goes from Snowville, UT to Elko, NV.
The area has very little population, and very little vehicle traffic.
I expected the scanner to search silently and only pick up local sites.
And I got (853.475 Cal Mtn), (851.9375 Howell), and (851.6625 Hansel), which I expected.
I locked them out.

Then I got Logan Peak, Mt Ogden came next, then Promontory. I kept locking them out of search.
I got a p25 so strong it was like being parked outside the transmitter site. 92085-00A LDS Church.
Next I got Nelson, then South Mtn.
There was so much voice and so many Control Channels that
it made searching a futile effort. I gave up and decided to head home.
I put the scanner on scan, and SLC PD was coming in loud and clear until I reached Snowville.
After that, all I got was occasional Box Elder radio traffic.
