• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Scanner Frequencies

It can take a bit of sifting on your part to determine which frequencies might be useful, even more so if you life in a larger city/town, but I have found this site to be useful:

www.cityfreq.com

You can find the frequencies for your local utility companies, law enforcement, etc listed in many cases. There are also usually a good listening of other frequencies for a given location if you are interested in other activities on the airwaves.
 
The "rubber duckie" worked ok but does anyone have a recommendation for an external antenna for that model? Seems like with the rubber duckie it breaks up alot while driving. any suggestions??

I've always has good luck with the mag-mount "scanner" antennas from Radio Shack when using a scanner in a mobile environment. I've even used their thru-glass window mount, but the frequency range suffered a bit with the window mount.

If your local Radio Shack doesn't fill the bill, check out any ham radio supply stores available online.
