- Here are some scanner frequencies for the Southeast Connecticut and
- Rhode Island areas. I've included five files. The first two are
- Connfreq.wk3 and Connfreq.fm3 which are the database files that can be
- used with Lotus 123 or Excel if you want to add to the list without
- retyping all 800 entries :).
-
-
- The second file is agency.txt - a text file sorted by agency type
-
- The third file is freqlist.txt- a text file sorted by the frequency number
-
-
- If you're looking for additional frequencies you might want to try
- purchasing some books such as the "Official Connecticut Scanner Guide"
- by Coburn , "Aeronautical Frequency Directory" by Coburn,
- "Directory of North American Military Aviation Communications",Police Call
- Plus(avaible at Radio Shack),"Top Secret Registry of U.S. Government Radio
- Frequencies" avaible from either

- about 30 bucks a year you get a subscription to "National Scanning Report"
