[Scan-DC] Survey?

[Thomas P. Clouse]

I monitor analog vhf airband mostly on the off hours. I live high
enough up in the county so that I get, depending on the wind, traffic
into all four airports (Andrews, National, Dulles, and BWI).  I also
monitor the analog park police, Capitol police, and Metro Transit
police. I haven't gone digital yet, but I would like to be able to
monitor the Montgomery county police digital system.
