• 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.

Hey guys!

I am new to the scanner/Ham world. I bought my first one, but have no idea how to find channels. The user guide is decent and i am trying to figure out the trunking.

How do I know what channels to program? Is there a list somewhere? When I am in a community how do I find the HAM network where spotters may be chatting??

Help!
 
All of the scanner data can be found at Radio Reference. The database is quite extensive and users do an excellent job of maintaining it.

I strongly suggest you get programming software from Butel - http://www.butel.nl/ or FreeSCAN - http://www.sixspotsoftware.com/products/freescan

Then purchase a premium subscription at RR to directly download and import into your scanner. It is infinitely easier than programming by hand.

Also lots of great help in the RR forums.
