Traveling from NJ To NC

[robertpearsall]

Me and the family will be driving Middlesex county NJ to Wake county NC this weekend and will be programing my 396.My question is what state police frequencies should I program we will be driving 95 till it splits then take 85 I just want to hear troops and barricks and fire and ems along that route any input will be a help

What software are you using, Bob? I make the trip from Md up to NJ, and am almost finished defining a file for the 396. I'm using Scan Control, but dumping everything down to a .csv file would be a snap. I'm also fooling around with FreeScan, although I'm not entirely comfortable that it has every option you would need to set up. I haven't downloaded this yet, but I should be able to dump my data into BCTool pretty easily.

It would, at least get you 1/2 way. You would need to put a message into the Va. and NC forums for files for that area (make sure you don't post the same message in more than 1 forum - that's a no no)
and I bet you would get lots there, too.

My email is ka3jjz@netscape.com 73 Mike

I am using arc396 pro one problem i am having is i keep getiing a error about more then 200 tgs per system so i need to fine tune it to just the area i am travling

OK I can get you down to the Prince George's county line (which borders DC, and depending on the route, leads to Montgomery county Md.). I'm not using ARC396, so when I'm done (only take me a day or two to complete), send me your email address and I'll send you a .csv or .usd file (I think FreeScan can export in .usd format...) with lots of data.

Be sure to jump into the Maryland forum as well - tell them what software you're using, and that you're covered to the PG county line - they will take it from there.
