Our 220 band is dead, and I never hear anything there.  I also used to use
the F6 as a scanner, and still do to an extent, but it is for the hospital
I am at.  I have the security freqs in the F6 as well as all my other
radios.  Everything else I am interested in monitoring is APCO-25 trunked
digital, and can't be monitored/tracked with the F6a.  Perhaps some day
they'll come out with a rig that will trunktrack and do APCO-25 at least
for startrs.
