So, you have downloaded the frequencies for your zip code or a database from
the internet with a zillion frequencies for your area, you just got
them programmed into your scanner, ...
now what?
It takes forever to scan all 300 or 500 or even 1000 frequencies, you
don't know how much traffic you are missing on the really active bands.
Wouldn't it be
nice to find out which frequencies had the most traffic?
You can use
this software for your scanner* to track the most active frequencies, find which frequencies
consume the most of your scanners time, generate reports showing how much
time each channel takes in relation to the others and how many hits
each frequency receives, and find duplicate frequencies.
Now you have the information you need to
remove unused frequencies or move the most active frequencies to
one bank and stop wasting time scanning dead frequencies.
