[Scan-DC] Can Anyone ID these Control Channels?

Sun, 6 Oct 2002 00:41:25 -0400

Im new to the list and I was wondering what you were referring to by "like
what was propsed to Fairfax County VA a whale back". Can a normal joe buy an
HT and get it programmed for monitoring only by local county communications?
