[TheKmannn]

do you know where i can get one of those railroad scanners?

How do you know what frequency to be on?

[BLAKEamtrak]

It is in WV

[cornej92]

No, its in northern Kentucky

[BLAKEamtrak]

Is that a 2 radio

[cornej92]

What?

[claimless]

@cornej92 I think BLAKEamtrak was asking if it was a two-way radio. And I'm actually interested to know. Is it?

[cornej92]

@claimless Yes and no. It is an amateur radio that has extended receive so I can pick up railroad channels. I cannot transmit on railroad frequencies but I can transmit on legal amateur radio frequencies.

[eerrbb256]

that radio is a yaesu vx-6

[ConSAmerica]

Is that one CSX unit a GP30?? I thought those were long dead..

Its now part of a slug set with a GP40-2.
