Trip Report: Savannah, GA to Florence and Darlington, SC

I took the BC-796, BC-250, and a PRO-92 on the trip I mentioned last night and had a lot of fun monitoring the Palmetto 800 TRS, Conventional VHF/UHF, the Florence County 800 TRS, and some military communications between Savannah, GA and the Florence and Darlington, SC areas. Below is a photo of the monitoring setup (the BC-245 belongs to my father, we were riding in his truck) The antenna for the BC-796 was a Radio Shack mag mount scanner antenna and the BC250 used an 800mhz antenna already mounted on the truck's toolbox. Below the photo are some of the trip notes. TRS and Frequency info was preloaded into the radios with information from the Radio Reference website; links for the systems are the titles for the sections below.
