Welcome to the Mid Michigan scanner frequency list site!
Shortened URL:  Tinyurl.com/yq29ss

This site hosts my Large Mid-Michigan scanner frequency list. I have been editing this list for around 25+ years.

Are you new or planning to get a new scanner?

Do you need to have your digital police scanner from Radio Shack or Uniden programmed?

Additionally to put my dad's World War II memoirs online for all to read - He was 'Very Proud' of it.

We have been hearing scuttlebutt that some huge bomb was dropped on Hiroshima......

===================================================
NEW ==> I have a Pro 96 Digital police scanner radio Im selling. Contact me using craigslist or  -> Contact me/Email

pro 96
===================================================

NEW ==> The Bay City River Roar is this June 21 - 23. All days are free! Lots to tune in down there and most all the people
down at the boat launch carry radios so you WILL blend in with everyone else. So feel at ease, as you will fit right in!
Bring earbuds/earphones since when the boats are out there its loud and becomes hard to hear your radio.

 SEARCH BAND: 465.000-470.000 (drivers/spotters)
Nearly all low power/itinerant frequencies & family radio band channels are used

The PL listed is optional if your radio has that feature but the 469.500 is somewhat common gmrs frequency, so with it on, will filter
any users that might also use the same frequency.
Rescue Boats/Officials 469.500 PL 203.5, historically can be different from year-year, find out on Friday and will update accordingly
if it is different this year, I use Close Call on the Uniden radio. Coast Guard 157.075 Marine Ch. 81, Film Crew 440.000 PL 74.4

===================================================
NEW ==> Have had several people contact me after they bought a new radio as they are thinking that any new scanners
will work just due to the fact they are new. Don't buy a new scanner that isnt digital, APCO 25 or Trunktracker IV ready
if you plan on listening to Bay, Tuscola, Genesee, Flint or Tuscola counties!
The following are all digital, current or discontinued but easily found on auction sites.
Radio Shack model Pro 96*, Pro 2096*, Pro 197, or Pro 106
Uniden model BCD396T*, BCD996T*, BCD396XT #, BCD996XT # or Home Patrol # scanner.

* Not recommended for Saginaw/Genesee due to it being a simulcast system & are discontinued models
# Works best for Saginaw

Even if your county isn't digital doesn't mean they won't be soon, I wouldn't buy a new non digital scanner at all, seen many
counties in Mid-MI already have switched, so many orphaned scanners out there due to area 911's going digital.
===================================================

Bay County radio listener news: 

NEW ==> City fire dept. will be moving to digital definitely vey soon. A lot of digital radio service checks last few weeks
and currently. Looks like this will happen when the public safety begins on July 1?


You need to use a digital radio to listen in to police, fire, ambulance.

=================================================================
 This is why
I strongly advise anymore getting Uniden over the Radio Shack brand name that 'were' made by GRE which wont
be back making scanners. Why in the Radio Shack stores your seeing Unidens and there's no spare parts period that can get ordered.
Where do you send it if the radio needs repair without parts to replace as the company is done making scanners.

GRE- Makers of all current Radio Shack brand scanners and many older ones:

This is what they shut down GRE's factory for?

GRE US Personnel Attempt Restart of GRE Business.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Oct. 16, 2012 – In early October, all US GRE Sales and Development team were
advised by GRE-Japan that scanner manufacturing was shut down; nearly all GRE personnel in Asia and
USA were dismissed. Since that time, the US Team has been working to rebuild the company and get back
into production...

GRE official response.
=================================================================

VERY IMPORTANT for those with digital radios:

Entire state digital radio frequencies will be changing - Rebanding (link) and you will need to make
changes on your radio to continue listening. Yes scanning these days is rather complicated!
Don't need to make any changes to your radio yet, but for sure when they make the switch
NEW => For those with Pro 96/ Pro 2096 radios, will need programming through software with custom tables with software.
This pertains to digital frequencies only in the 866-868.9875 range and not other pd-fire frequencies in the 150’s range.
