4. I'm on an online scanner owner's listserv. Someone was asking about Hurricane Hunter freqs.

Among the responses was this:

Not a direct answer, but I **think** the main frequency for "curious" listening is still 14.325 USB (http://w4ehw.fiu.edu/).

The website looks as if it's vintage 1997, but it's worth a try. You'll need a radio that can handle single side band. If you know what that is, then you'll know if you have one.

I'll try tonight.

HTH.
