Jim Robbins' Scanner Links
New
3/22/08: First major update in quite a while is near complete -- it has been underway for a couple years and set back by several technical glitches. You should see updated county pages and master lists by the end of this month, and other pages tweaked as necessary during the second quarter of 2008.
7/23/06: The General Frequency Lists have finally been updated, and are now (1.4MB) about twice the size they were while covering very little outside Mercer/Middlesex/Somerset.
5/01/06: The JEMS and JEMS 2 DTMF Codes pages will soon be have been deleted, as they are outdated and, considering other resources available on the web, have outlived their usefulness. Data pertinent to Mercer, Middlesex, and Somerset counties will be added to those county pages on this site.
5/01/06: Reformatting of the county pages is mostly complete -- there is still some tweaking of little things and of the style sheets yet to be completed. HTML tables are now used instead of fixed-width text, which means file size is larger but it should display and print nicer, and "find-in-page" type searching should work better. The master frequency lists should be updated shortly, along with the master DBF in the Scanner Programming section.
9/30/05: With disappointment, removed links to the hacked (and subsequently dissolved) site at Fordyce.
