Description: Scanner gurus Henry and Eric Eisenson take the guesswork out of finding information while traveling across America, filling in the reader on how to tune into each state's frequencies for information on emergency services; forestry and conservation; fish and game; recreational activities such as amusement parks, race tracks, and museums; and more. In addition to the state-by-state guide, you'll get the nationwide frequencies for such emergency teams as FEMA and the American Red Cross, as well as air traffic control frequencies. The Eisensons also give you tips on the best way to set up your antenna, how to install extra speakers, how to program banks, and a traveler's guide to well-known speed traps. Whether you've been a scanner enthusiast for years or are new to the hobby, you'll find a wealth of valuable information packed in this handy guide.
