Last night I was programing my new radio (not a scanner) and I in inadvertently overwrote an older channel that I think was from my trip to see WYNP and B&H. Would someone be so kind as to list all three road's radio frequencies so I can do a little trouble shooting.

many thanks

A commercial radio, i.e. a Motorola. Most require you have special software and a cable to connect it to a computer, as very few are face-programmable like scanners are.

The beauty of commercial radios is that you can disable the transmit feature via programming on the computer, and there is absolutely no way to overcome that in the field.

Aren't there even Radios out there that aren't programmable that operate the same way? They are able to RX on ALL channels in that radios range, but cannot TX on all?

I keep all my radios set to not transmit so that none of my friends can pick them up and play around. I have a radio that I have a legal right to use and it happens to be in the band that will accept RR frequiences to receive only.
