Pittsburgh Area Scanner Links


WPAScanner
http://www.wpascanner.com

This site is my first stop when I want to find the public safety frequencies for an area I'm not familiar with. It usually features a frequeny list, unit ID information, and occasionally even a map for most public safety systems. Unfortunately, data is sometimes outdated (or, in the case of some commercial licenses, just unused), but WPAscanner is still the best of the bunch for public safety licenses.


K3FSS Pittsburgh Area Scanning Page

Another one of my favorite sites, mostly because what sets K3FSS's site apart from the others is that he verifies that all the frequencies on his site are active. This is kind of obvious with public safety frequencies, but when it comes to business frequencies, it's really important - just because a business is licensed for certain frequencies doesn't mean that it's using them, but you can trust that they're active if you see them on this site.


Scan-PA Forums

A cool message board meant to replace the PA section of the old Fordyce.org message boards. Another good place to look for frequencies or ask questions.

TRAMA Net Coordinator WA3FKG's blog - interesting scanner and frequency-related posts.


SouthWestern PA Scanner Page
http://www.wpascan.info/

Accurate and well-organized set of frequencies for WPA, but it also covers northwest and south-central PA.


Pittsburgh Area Media Frequencies
http://www.wiscomm.com/media/pitmedia.htm

A nice list of local media frequencies. Also see WPAscanner and K3FSS to make sure you're not missing any.
