features you can then set up your scanner.
Frequencies
A frequency is the waveband of the transmitting signal
(expressed in kHz or MHz). Your WS1025 receives a
range of analog frequencies; the best resource for
your local frequencies is www.radioreference.com.
Also, you can use your scanner’s search functions to
find active frequencies in your area.
