If you're a ham radio operator or scanner enthusiast, you've probably noticed how difficult it is to find active frequencies for your radio.  When we moved to Bakersfield, I searched several sources and was never satisfied with the results.  The ARRL repeater book has tons of listings for repeaters off the air or totally inactive.  Several other books or web sites have information that's out of date or not helpful.  I found plenty of great info the Southern California, but Central Valley information was lacking. 

We set out to produce a local list of frequencies that was accurate and helpful for newcomers and veterans alike. The list is checked to have the ability to receive a signal with my 50 watt radio and a Comet GP-15 antenna at 25 feet high.  It's a work in progress but a labor of love.

I spent the better part of today updating and revising the list.  We've included a ton of new information and verified accuracy.  Since we use cloanable radios from Yaesu, software is the best way to program them.  Some great software is available for my radios, VX-7R and FT-7800.  No matter what kind of radio you have, I think you'll find the files we've made available helpful, directly or indirectly. We've included CTCSS and DCS tones and splits as we know them for each listing.

Here is the basic HTML page: http://davekalahar.com/bakersfield_scanner_freqencies.htm   A PDF is also available on that page, and you can download a ZIP that contains the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, the VX-7 database file for Commander, and the FT-7800 database for the G4HFQ program.  Use the database files to directly clone your radio!

Please, give me feedback.
