Something to consider when thinking about security for a bug-in or bug-out situation is your ability to monitor the two-way radio activity of groups that could potentially threaten yours. Roaming gangs may well use “off the shelf” two-way radios to plan and execute robberies. In this case, you will want to be able to monitor their activities when they are operating close to you. This can be easily accomplished by programming the following frequencies into a police scanner.

This list contains the frequencies for nearly every “off the shelf” two way radio ever made, including children’s walkie-talkies from the 80’s and 90’s. If you plan to bug-out, you should program these frequencies into a portable scanner and assign a member of the group to monitor it at all times and bring potential threats to the group’s attention. If you plan to bug-in, you should program these frequencies into a base police scanner with an outside antenna and assign the task of monitoring the scanner to whomever is assigned the duty of security. A base station scanner with an outside antenna will increase the range of activity you can monitor and will give you more advanced notice. In either case, make sure you have plenty of battery power for your scanner.

Some additional considerations are as follows:

• CB frequencies are in AM mode, unlike most other two-way radios that use FM mode. Many scanners will automatically program these frequencies as AM, others will force you to choose AM mode, and others cannot receive AM mode at all.
• Use the service scan mode on your scanner to search for active frequencies, including CB if your scanner won’t program AM mode. Many scanners have built in banks that will automatically search for active frequencies in the CB, Aeronautical, Ham, Railroad, Police/Fire, etc. bands.
• Use a service like RadioReference, http://www.radioreference.com, to search for known police, fire, EMS, ham, and other frequencies in your area. A great deal of information can be gathered on these frequencies during an emergency that could threaten your security.
