Business: Railroad Allocations

(From the March 2000 "Service Search" column by Larry Van Horn,MT Assistant Editor)

In this month's Service Search column we will start taking an in-depthlook at the new Industrial/Business Pool. We will start with the firstof four categories into which Industrial/Business Pool has been condensed:the LR or Railroad allocations. These frequencies are currently being licensedby the Federal Communications Commission. Scanner listeners should be listeningfor newly allocated splinter channels (VHF 7.5 kHz/UHF 6.25 kHz) to becomeactive in their areas.
