Somewhere on the UHF Lo band right?  Anyone got any exact frequencies?  

TIA.

They use some conventional frequencies but mostly they use a trunked system, you need a scanner that's capable of decoding the signals embedded in a trunked system's supervisor channel to listen to a complete conversation. You can find a list of the frequencies and the control channel for the system at <a href="http://emergencyone.tripod.com/index3.html" target='_blank'>http://emergencyone.tripod.com/index3.html</a>.

Isn't it like 800?

My friends a cop, I could ask him.

like 800? &nbsp;I believe that there's about 10000 possible frequencies in the 800.000 to 899.995 range...

it's probably not that many, but it's a lot.

If anyone can hook me up here it'd be appreciated.

I have everyone of them programed in my scanner but the batteries are dead, I will get some new batteries and get the frequencies for you. The trunked system frequencies are all in the 400s which is what they use most of the time, the 800s are all in the 856-860.9375 range, just look at that link I posted.......the SC Highway Patrol uses nothing but the trunked system though.

I dunno I just remember I asked a cop one time when I was in 10th grade and he said something like 800 meter radio or something. I dunno. That was 4 years ago.

That's what they used 4 years but now they switched to the trunked system so people couldn't listen in on them, but then they just came out with trunking scanners.......so oh well

800 &nbsp;adn something is what i remember too!

800 meters! &nbsp;AHH!!!

That'd be like, .00001 MHz. &nbsp;

800MHz, which is 40-50cm. &nbsp;If your REALLY want something that'll be a 'scanner' then these crappy things your buy at Radio Shack will work...but if your really into this for listening(and I do think I know what this is for) then you'll want to buy something from a MUCH better brand. &nbsp;Anyone who wants to know send me an IM at N1XRR. &nbsp;I have been doing communications for 5 years and I'm getting ready to order a nice new $350 radio that recieves from .1MHz-1.2GHz, first handheld available on the consumer market to do so. &nbsp;Even at that, I have a radio that recieves 78-999Mhz...NICE, costs a lot though.

I got my scanner out today and played with it some

Conventional Systems: ................................ 851.00 - 856.00 MHz
Conventional/Trunked Systems: ........................ 856.00 - 861.00 MHz
Trunked Systems: ..................................... 861.00 - 866.00 MHz
Public Safety: ....................................... 866.00 - 869.00 MHz


most of the good stuff is in 800 range


Land Mobile &quot;Paired&quot; Frequencies: .................. 450.000 - 470.000 MHz
Base Stations: ..................................... 451.025 - 454.950 MHz
Mobile Units: ...................................... 456.025 - 459.950 MHz
Repeater Units: .................................... 460.025 - 464.975 MHz
Control Stations: .................................. 465.025 - 469.975 MHz


In the UHF band, frequencies between 456.025 and 459.95 MHz and between 465.025 and 469.975 MHz are used by mobile units and control stations associated with base and repeater units that operate 5 MHz lower (that is, 451.025 to 454.950 and 460.025 to 464.975 MHz). *This means that if you find an active frequency inside one of these spreads, you can look 5 MHz lower (or higher) to find the base station/repeater for that service.
