I have an older BC147XLT scanner I am going to give to my 12 y/o grandson. Looking for suggestions for fequencies he might enjoy listening to. Not ready to give him a trunking scanner yet. He lives in the Shoreline area. Thanks Ron |

The BC147XLT is an older VHF/UHF scanner. I figured WSP, Marine VHF, some aviation stuff and maybe a few Ham repeater, specifically repeaters used for SAR. |

I know I sure have. :lol: I hear more "salty" language on UHF commercial than I do anywhere else especially after normal business hours. :) |

Add some of the VHF/UHF "Dot" frequencies. It can be fun listening to and trying to identify the users. |

Not as much fun right now but during the winter months having PSE freqs plugged in can be fun... nice to know exactly when you're power is coming back online. :) 153-154 Mhz |

The hobby of monitoring radio frequencies using a scanner is a lot of fun! I find it amazing that there are people out there that find listening to McDonalds and Jack-in-the Box just as exiting as I do listening to Police and Fire Action. "Keep on Scanning" |
