() I bought the FCC microfiche listings of the licensees on file as of January/February 1984. It is a tremendous source of information for those of who listen to scanners; however, it uses a two letter FCC service code and I do not have the key to the code. The Radio Shack "Police Call Radio Directory" lists some of these codes, as shown below: Code - Meaning AA AF BA - Remote Broadcast Pickup (radio & TV stations) BF BS CA - General Mobile Radio Service CB - Citizens Band (class D) CC - Citizens BAnd (class C) CD IB - Business IF - Forest Products IM - Motion Picture Industry IP - Petroleum Industry IS - Special Industrial (construction, farming, etc.) IT - Telephone Maintenance IW - Power and Water Utilities IX - Manufacturers IY - Relay Press (newspaper reporters) LA - Automotive Emergency (tow trucks) LJ - Motor Carrier, Trucks LR - Railroad LU - Motor Carrier, Buses LV LX - Taxi MC - Maritime Limited Coast (private stations) MG - Maritime Government (Coast Guard) MP - Maritime Public Coast (marine telephone) MS - Maritime Shipboard PF - Fire PH PL - Local Government PM - Medical Services PO - Forestry Conservation PP - Police PS - Special Emergency RA - Mobile Telephone, Aircraft RC - Mobile Telephone, Radio Common Carrier RT - Mobile Telephone, Landline Companies SV XR ZA If anyone on the net knows the meaning of any of the above codes with blank meanings, or how to get a complete listing of codes and meanings, please mail me what ever information you have. Thanks. ----------------------- James Van Ornum, AT&T Bell Laboratories, inhp4!houxu!jhv
