Other than SDPD and Cal Fire what are some other suggestion that would be interesting to listen to?

Top Five... maybe for super large events/power black outs/The big Earthquake...

1.) Ham Radio Frequencies (Analog & DMR ,etc)
2.) Commercial Radio Systems(Fisher Wireless DMR Con+) etc.
3.) Local frequencies in your area (Mall Security, Hospital)
4.) Airports/Aircraft
5.) The trunked system for your local Casino you visit :)
6.) Watching aircraft fly over your area with your own ADS-B receiver box.

Thanks Brian, I like your list. Do i have to enter all the frequencies into the scanner to listen or can I just roam around and receive them?

It’s better to program the trunked system(Fisher Wireless, Casino, Zoo, Sea World, etc) fully into the scanner. To track the talkgroups better.
