 I wasn't the one asking. I was answering. I personaly don't like hte RS
frequency lists. They are mostly out of date and try to cover too wide an
area. Here in San Diego the local FIDO forums are a far better source of
specific upto date information. We have several Super Scanners here that keep
up with most of the changes.

assistant: Radio Shack misses the box with these company stores. If they stuck to
franchises, the individual owners would probably do a lot more in terms
of customer service than people who are "just doing a job" working for
a big corporation, even though they do get some commission and incentives.
At one time we had a Lafyette Radio franchisee in town and the guy was just
great. I bought my first communications receivers from him. One was a tone
alert thing and the other was a mobile receiver. I responded to fires from
my house as I was too far from the station. If the call wasn't serious I
turned around and went home or went to the station.
Then I got turned-on to radios in general and got all sorts of stuff from
the Lafyette guy with lots of good advice thrown in. Got one of the very
first Bearcat-Electra scanners to hit the market from him, swl receivers,
CBs, etc. I miss the guy. Going to RS isn't the same at all.

 tell the difference the moment you walk into one.
 I had the same experience with an Olsen Electronics store.
 Bought my first scanner from them while I was still on the
 P.D.    After Teledyne bought them out and shut them down,
 I began shopping at the two Lafyette stores in this town
 and had the same pleasant dealings with the staff.

I would go out and buy a book with HF info in, but they tend to change

these changes and you just can't do that with a book!
Do you know of any internet sites that may have frequency lists?
