Hi All.
A frequency to watch out for with the RAC - 470.875Mhz.
Unlike the other RAC frequencies which carry both voice and data (which make them a pain to listen to), this one is just voice.
I'm thinking it's the battery mob but not sure... feel free to post here what you hear

What do you hear on their channels, not being sarcastic I just never thought that people would listen or what they would hear?

No idea...
I've got it on the scan group I listen to now, see if I can hear anything interesting.

Most jobs go through the data channels but they still use that frequency for enquiries.

There's more to scanning than WAPOL and FESA
Plenty to listen to out there, i'm not sure what quite a lot of you out there are going to do with your poor old scanners when the cops go digital!
There's lots of cool stuff to hear, just need to do a bit of research and find out the frequencies.
