i bought this cheap scanner from radio shack for about $30, ive picked up taxi calls, sheriff, cellphones, but is there a place i can get local frequecy listings?, im in southern ca. and i have the RadioShack 30 channel pro-2043 model

What frequencies do you get?

thanks but i just found the frequencies i need. i did a yahoo search and found them, but if you have any i should check out, please list. i need some for the san diego area

I've gotten DEA frequencies. Federal frequencies are the same all over the country.

The DEA stalks people in their everyday lives; from getting a haircut and eating to making drug deals. It is quite amusing to listen to.

Here's some I know:

FBI-

162.6375
163.9875
167.2125
167.2375
167.2875
167.4625
167.5625
167.6625
167.6875
170.0250
173.1500

DEA-

Ch 1 418.6250
Ch 3 418.7500
Ch 4 418.6750
Ch 5 418.8250
Ch 7 418.9750

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms-

Ch 1/3 165.2875
166.4625
Ch 2 166.5375
166.9250

Secret Service-

164.5750

Tango 164.6500

Oscar 164.8875

Mike 165.2125

Shared with Customs 165.2375

Charlie 165.3750

Surveilence 165.4875

Field office 165.6875

Baker 165.7875

November 167.0250

Foxtrot 415.7000

There are many more. Have fun.


P.S. I think it is illegal to talk directly about anything you hear on a scanner. Like specific stuff. It is okay to say, "I heard the DEA chopper's radio", but not, "I heard the DEA chopper and heard there was weed at x location" or "I heard the FBI stalking x person".

Oh well.

thanks but my scanner is so cheap it can only recieve the 6 digit frequencies, heres what it can get 29-54, 137-174, 406-512

If you want to use those freqs just cut off the last digit. e.x. 433.0875 is the same as 433.087. the bandwidth is so great at vhf and uhf that you can be up to .1 mhz off and still hear it.
