Tom,
We've got a hand-held scanner that picks up worker/grid radio
transmission. It is a Uniden and cost about $100 from an on-line
retailer.
It also will pull the usual fire, police, weather stuff.
The main drawback is that it is the most user-unfriendly piece of
electronic equipment I have ever owned. I've read the manual numerous
times and I still can't figure it out. I did manage to figure out how to
scan for police bands, etc., but it is a relearning experience every time
I go to the track to put in the right frequency.
Hopefully someone else out there can point you to something that is
easier to use.
David.
