The following is a guide to the hobby of monitoring the Public Service bands, and some general tips for beginners to the hobby. This guide is broken down into 3 parts: (1) Equipment (2) Scanning tips (3) Section 605, ECPA of 1986, Responsibility Equipment ----------------- SCANNER TYPES: tunable, crystal, programmable Tunable: Many types of tunable receivers are available to the scanner user. most of these have poor image rejection and were low-end units or multiband type radios. These were subject to intermod and are only good for a few very strong signals and local coverage. Poor choice. Crystal: Crystal-controlled scanners have been around since the 60's. These radios very from 1 channel to as many as 16 and are very good performers. They allow a set, 1 frequency-1 channel capability, and have good image rejection and filtering. These radios allow the first time user to sample frequencies at relatively low cost per channel, about 5 dollars per crystal. Crystal controlled receivers are also good for professional users as the cost is low and most Public Service users only need to monitor a few set interim channels. Programmable: These are by far the best for the serious scanner enthusiast. Programmable receivers have good S/N figures, good image rejection, and for the most part very little intermodulation. They also allow greater flexibility by allowing the user to change channels without spending money for crystals. Most all of the programmable radios have LED or LCD readouts that give frequency, channel number, and other user information. All have memory backup to retain the contents of what has been programed. Programmable receivers are by far the best cost per dollar units. These radios use to cost 300 to 700 dollars a few years ago but with computer technology, low IC cost , they now can be had for a little over 100.00. The main compromise in price these days for a programmable scanner, is channels, frequency coverage, and special features. A minimum setup would be 20 channels, and the 118-136 Mhz aircraft band. 150.00 for this setup. * Scanner Tips * Now that the radio is sitting there, how do you know what frequencies to enter ? Most manuals that come with scanners have a spectrum breakdown to help new users find a ballpark area of interest. Frequency Spectrum Breakdown 30Mhz to 512Mhz 30 to 50 low-band VHF -- military,police,fire,business, new cordless phones 46-49mhz mostly older systems in rural areas,mobile phone(not used in larger areas.paging systems used extensively. Subject to long range skip conditions and solar activity. 50 to 54Mhz Amateur 6 meter band 54 to 72mhz TV Ch. 2-6 72 to 88Mhz low power industrial 88 to 108Mhz FM Broadcast Band 108 to 136 (AM) Aircraft band,Tower frequencies start at 118.000 136 to 144Mhz land mobile (Military) 144 to 148Mhz Amateur 2 meter band 148 to 150.600 Mhz military 150.6 to 152Mhz Business 152 to 153Mhz RCC mobile phones and taxi cabs 153 to 154Mhz Public Transportation 154 to 155Mhz fire depts. 155 to 156Mhz State police 156 to 157Mhz Marine Band,ship to coast,ship to ship,Coast Guard, Bridges,toll Booths,Locks,inter-coastal waterways. 157 to 158Mhz Marine operations,Coast Guard.156.800(Distress,Calling) 158 to 160Mhz State Police 160 to 162Mhz Marine phone,various users 162 to 174Mhz Govt. including all agencies 174 to 220Mhz TV Ch.7-14 220 to 225Mhz Amateur radio 225 to 400Mhz UHF Aircraft (Military),Satellites,Experimental Work 400 to 406Mhz Wx Satellites 406 to 420Mhz Govt land mobile 430 to 440Mhz Fixed 440 to 450Mhz Amateur 70cm Band 450 to 453Mhz Business, Power co.'s 453 to 454Mhz Local Police Depts. 454 to 455Mhz RCC Mobile Phone 455 to 456Mhz TV News Teams,Rebroadcasts 456 to 458Mhz Public Transport,Business,etc. 458 to 460Mhz Local Police Depts. 460 to 460.5Mhz Local Police Depts. 460.5 to 461Mhz Local Fire Depts. 462 to 463Mhz Business,GMR Service,REACT Teams 463 to 464Mhz Fire Dept. (Med Ch's) 464 to 470Mhz Public Safety,Industrial,Land Transportation 470 to 512Mhz Broadcasting,Shared With Local Public Safety and other users. Antennas: Most of the antennas that come with these radios are sufficient for local area coverage up to 75 mile radius from the listening post. If you can put up and external antenna, your range can be up to 200 miles or more depending on the antenna type. External antennas: Omni: omnidirectional, 360 degree radius signal pickup. Yagi: directional, high gain beam: high gain, highly directional discone: high gain, wide bandwidth, omnidirectional Your choice of external antennas depends on what services you are looking to hear most. Beam antennas are good for long range, single frequency coverage. Omni's pull in many signals, where discone and yagi's tend to have higher gain and wider bandwidths. A good compromise to all these antennas is the Discone, with wide coverage and good signal pulling power. Once you have your radio and antenna set up, keep in mind these tips: keep your squelch control at a low threshold level, you will hear more. Weak stations can sometimes be improved by re-orienting your antenna. Use NOAA Wx. stations for your area, when aligning your antenna or testing. These stations are continuous broadcast and can gauge receiver/antenna performance. Strong carriers can either be real signals or harmonics caused by other equipment, computers, printers, clocks, TV's, etc. Reorienting the scanner antenna sometimes will keep these signal from locking up the scanner. If the area you are in is really bad, you can buy filters that lock out these adjacent signals. Some phantom signals are caused by the radio itself. These are called "intermod" and "birdies", Intermod is caused by two internally generated signals causing a third order harmonic that locks up the scanner. "Birdies are caused by clock and timing signals in microprocessor controlled radio's, most of these occur at only a few frequencies over the entire range of the radio and can not be locked out. Most makers of scanners have installed filters to keep this from happening. Search Scanning: Searching for new frequencies with a programmable scanner is accomplished by entering "upper and lower" frequency limits. A word of note, only enter a 1 megahertz search area. The reason for this is, the smaller the search area the more likelihood of finding new frequencies .I.E 155-156 mhz. Another tip is to put the delay function on during search mode. This allows you to note the frequency and also allows for a reply. When monitoring a transmission, take notes as to ID codes and or FCC call letters. Most public service users are required to ID their station at least once every 5 minutes. Other Tips: Inclement weather, storms, major events etc. have a tendency to increase radio traffic. During storms, monitor local road crews, rescue services, and other public service bands. The local officials generally are the people " out in the thick of it", and you can glean much info on area road conditions or detours etc. from this monitoring. Mobile Installations: Check first your local laws covering radios capable of monitoring police frequencies in a vehicle, before installing a scanner in your car. The city of Philadelphia at one time had a law making it illegal and a 1st offense punishable by a 500.00 dollar fine and confiscation of the equipment. Most radios today have a 12 volt DC negative ground option or jack for mobile use. Once a suitable location and power requirements are met, all that is left is mounting the unit and running the antenna. These instructions are generally included in the owners manual. **** Section 605, ECPA, and Responsibility **** As a hobbiest, it is important to observe a few rules pertaining to the scanner hobby. First use of information overheard via a scanner for personal gain, criminal purposes, or interference with public safety, is not only illegal but strongly enforced. Chasing ambulances, fire trucks etc. will cause you to quickly loose your licence and may get you arrested. Other responsibility falls into one important category: Restraint. If you happen to stumble across a set of frequencies used by local or federal law enforcement officials, keep in mind that disclosure of any information you may hear could interfere with a drug stake-out, hostage situation, or other life threatening scenario. There are situations where news media people, in their zeal to cover a story have caused the deaths of hostages after showing up on a scene after overhearing the operation on their scanners. Police, Fire and Government officials have jobs to do, and don't need interference from the public. Keep what you hear to yourself. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 This bill which is currently pass the senate and in the house of representatives, is a bill designed by the cellular lobby to restrict what you can and cannot listen to. In it's present form it makes it illegal to "willfully" monitor any two-way communication primarily seen as closed to the public. This includes mobile phone, remote broadcast pickup, and certain other services, this law is seen by the FCC and the Justice Dept. as being unenforceable, but as with any bad law it will no doubt have to be tested in court before it is reformed or rewritten. Footnote: Scanning can be and enjoyable hobby and give the listener a better insight into where his/her tax dollars are being spent. Public servants are there for helping the people and enforcing the laws. The United States is the only country in the world where monitoring is allowed, It is a privilege that few other countries show their citizens. Be responsible and enjoy!
