How does one get *all* RR radio frequencies? from the FCC? ICC?
Can we start a discussion on the benefits of scanner radios, and
include points about various models, e.g. portable vs. non-portable,
programmable vs. fixed, relative performance, handor shoulder carrying,
mounting in cars, etc.

There is a commercial source for railroad frequency listings; a book by Tom Kneitel called RAIL-SCAN. The blurb on it claims that it is "the absolute largest compilation of railroad scanner frequencies ever published -- 4000 railroad-related listings". It is listed in the catalog of CRB Research (PO Box 56, Commack, NY 11725), at $7.95 (Item # RS). This catalog also has many other scanner and communications books, and some of the standard survivalist and "covert operations" books sold by many mail-order dealers. (Anybody ever notice that these books are always sold mail-order, and not in bookstores where you could look at them first? I believe it's because the sellers realize that if a customer gets a chance to scan through the book first, he'll realize it is not worth the $8.95 or whatever the book costs... Anyway, that refers to the "build your own submachinegun" books, not the scanner frequency lists, though they are probably overpriced, too.) Probably worth dropping them a postcard for the catalog, in any case. Will
