SCANNING: UHF Featured Frequency for 2023.05.06

New regular NatCom feature highlights frequencies to monitor

We like to impart frequency finds for you to program in your scanner so you can see whether you hear anything on unique or common scanner frequencies.

Sometimes the frequency might be kind of common and perhaps in use just about anywhere in the United States — you just have to sit on the frequency waiting for activity. Perhaps it’s used in your area on a regular basis or maybe just when a particular user is in your region. If you aren’t monitoring it, you’ll never know!

Some frequencies are real finds. It might be a frequency that may be active on a rare basis, but if you aren’t listening, you’ll never discover it.

Beginning with this article, National Communications Magazine will begin to regularly highlight FEATURED FREQUENCIES for our readers to find an empty channel in your scanner and program it in. Set aside a bank, if you will, and we will continue to help you load that bank or group. Each Featured Frequency will prove to be worthwhile to program in your scanner, no matter whether you live in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, or Seattle, Washington.

For today’s Featured Frequency, it’s a frequency that possibly could be used illegally in your area by a business using digital radios or maybe even a local radio shop for test purposes. While it’s a test frequency in a line of digital radios, you just never know whether someone is accidentally using it or not. So let’s tell you about this frequency and why it’s worth monitoring.
