SMARTSCANNER TIPS

There are literally hundreds of thousands of public safety radio licenses in the United States. The editors of the Uniden National Frequency Database have poured over these records to provide you with the most accurate possible download of frequencies for whichever area of the country you desire. Because of the volume of data, and because some systems operate on expired licenses or digital radio systems (which are not included in the dataset as they cannot be monitored), we cannot guarantee that you will receive every active public safety frequency in your area.

If you find any flaws in your data and you would like to offer suggestions, please e-mail them to us at smartscanner@aol.com or mail them to us at SmartScanner National Database, P.O. Box 610428, Newton Highlands, MA 02468. Due to the volume of mail we receive, you may not receive a reply.

The SmartScanner database downloads frequency and trunking talk groups (if applicable for your area) to the scanner using the following order:

1.All licenses within your zip code.

2.All licenses within your community (with more than one zip code)

3.All your county licenses (such as County Sheriff)

4.All the licenses for all the communities within your county (in random order).

5.Statewide licenses (such as Highway Patrol, state forestry, DOT, but not trunking)

6.National licenses (such as common ambulance, marine, and Family Radio Service channels).

Look at the web sites Uniden.com and Trunktracker.com for further information. The downloads are not available through the Internet at this time.
