freqs of interest castleford/wakefield

Post by madman1027 »

i have not long since aquired a pro2006 that had the most unorganised programming i could imagine, 350 memories of random freqs all over the place.
live a divvy ive erased them all and need to reprogram them, im just wondering what frequencies or bands would offer the most interest/activity in castleford/wakefield and pontefract area that i may favour when reprograming the scanner

many thanks
karl

440 to 450 can be quite active weekdays too, just matter time and patience = the odd curious thing, sorry didnt recognise your username from before, thought any more about the 3500 or 800?
