test freqs for scanners
Sometimes you may want to check that your scanner is functioning by
trying to receive various signals that are always on or frequently
on. Following is a short list of freqs that I can hear in Bergen
county, NJ:
493.75 Mhz TV channel 17 WBFM audio, continuous (will sound
distorted on NBFM receivers)
454.1 Mhz paging service, continuous
162.55 Mhz Noaa weather, continuous
49.83 Mhz baby monitors, very local
29.66 Mhz 10Meter repeater, sometimes during the daytime
Knowing some of these can help you evaluate the quality of a scanner
at a hamfest.
