i've been waging the reception war with SLATER here in Kirkwood, and in that the best solution i've found to my reception issues is to turn my squelch ALL the way down. now i'm only listening to trunked on my two main boxes... and i started to wonder, what's left in the conventional frequencies?
why? i still have an amateur rig and two older (non-trunking) scanners, and i'm wondering what else i could do with them.
there are some simulcast frequencies in use (but i can get them via their SLATER counterpart), and Kirkwood has their FD Pager still in VHF, but... anyone have suggestions on what would be worth adding to them? short of amateur, maybe some other FD pagers, or even FRS/MURS/GMRS channels, I'm not sure what i should focus on in the huge database of conventional frequencies that are now basically silent.
aircraft? military? trains? ...cordless phones?
suggestions?
