Hello all. I'm new, waiting for my PSR 500 to be delivered. In the mean time I broke out my 10-year-old
BC 278CLT scanner. I know that this won't receive any digital trunked signals. I'm trying to determine what frequencies I can program into the scanner that it WILL receive. I have looked on the database page in Phila. county but I don't know how to tell which frequencies are what. I entered in 30 frequencies, just by guessing at what I might receive. I'm getting great reception on one of our local cab companies but not too much else. I'm using the antenna that came with the box.
Could someone give me a list of frequencies that I can receive in the Philadelphia area on this box? Or, tell me how to determine the conventional (the ones I can receive?) frequencies on the DB page. I'd appreciate all the help I can get. At this point I'm not too particular about what I want to listen to. Thanks!
