[Scan-DC] News organization feed frequencies

[Doug K.]

Thanks Ed, good info!

The files that I got for programming the BC 796 (from Alan Henney's site!) 
include the MPDC, so should be OK - altho I haven't actuallly _listened_ to 
anything in that channel bank yet... but my buddy who got a 796 at the same 
time I did, says that DC comes in 5x5, or 5-9er-9er, or 6, 2, and even, or 
10-2, or loud and clear, or whatever!  ;)  (In other woids, he can hear 
them!)

But, I guess it would behoove me to double-check!

Regards, and thanks to all-

Doug, getting behind on the message traffic here!
